Half a Brick

Chapter 34 Beat You Until You Agree

"Well, Brother Rat, I think you should change your condition. This five-minute thing doesn't seem appropriate." I looked at the big rat calmly, as if I were just bargaining with a cabbage seller.

The big rat glanced at me and suddenly revealed a sly smile, "Changing it isn't impossible, as long as you agree."

"Oh? What condition? Tell me about it." I had already guessed what the big rat was thinking, so I deliberately held the jasmine flower in my hands tighter.

The big rat gave a strange laugh, its eyes full of greed, "If you want me to release this female ghost, it's not difficult, but I don't have any myself. It's not appropriate for you to just carry away two, right? Since you want the information from this female ghost, then give me the one you have on you. One for one, what do you think?"

The big rat was indeed after Jasmine. It had eaten so many corpses in this house, and none of those corpses were exactly virtuous in life. How could this big rat be proper?

Jasmine may not have the alluring figure of Mei Ying, but Jasmine is a living person. The temptation of a living person for the big rat is much greater than that of a ghost. Ten seductive ghosts with ample figures are not as good as an ordinary woman.

Although Jasmine was muddled, she understood what the big rat meant, and her whole body trembled with fear. Even women in special industries are afraid of being defiled by such a filthy monster.

I smiled and looked at the big rat, "Brother Rat, I don't think this idea is very good either. I have a better idea, would you like to hear it?"

The big rat's eyes lit up immediately, and it asked me with drool dripping, if this person and this ghost were both especially important to me, and I was reluctant to give either of them to him, so I was willing to go outside and find ten women to exchange for them? Although the big rat liked both of these women, if I was indeed willing to bring more women to exchange with him, he could consider it.

Although it reigned supreme in this house, it couldn't leave this cursed villa. Before, there were corpses to eat, but now there were no corpses and no women. It was really boring to death.

Originally, when Jasmine was first sent to the house, the big rat planned to defile her, but Jasmine had a hungry ghost on her. That hungry ghost had been unable to enjoy incense for many years and had a super violent temper. Even the big rat was afraid of this kind of thing that didn't care about its life when fighting. The big rat didn't know that incense could drive away hungry ghosts. If it had known, it wouldn't have eaten it when I lit incense and burned paper just now. It would have saved it for the hungry ghost. If the hungry ghost ran away, it could make a move.

The big rat felt that its idea was very good, that I would definitely agree to its conditions, and that it was simply a genius for coming up with such a good idea of exchanging two for ten.

Unfortunately, I directly poured a bucket of cold water on it.

"No, no, no, my idea isn't like that. I don't want you to defile either of these two, so why would I send more women for you to defile? What I'm thinking is, if you don't agree to give me both of these, I'll beat you up until you agree."

When I spoke, my face was still smiling, and my expression couldn't be more amiable, but the big rat looked as if a rotten persimmon had been stuffed into its mouth, mouth open, chewing was not right, not chewing was not right either.

"What do you think, is it better for me to take this person and this ghost away now, or is it better for me to beat you up and then take them away?"

The emotions in the big rat's eyes changed rapidly, and countless thoughts flashed through its mind, but in the end, it still asked, "If I let you take both of these away, then will you not reveal what I've done in this house, and will you not let those annoying Taoists come to disturb my cultivation?"

"I can agree to this. Anyway, you can't leave this house. You've been peaceful for so many years, only eating those who throw themselves into the net, and not actively luring women in from outside. I really don't have any need to kill you."

"Okay, then go." The big rat gave Jasmine on my shoulder one last lingering look, just one glance, and then quickly burrowed back into the rat hole, as if afraid that if it looked again, it would change its mind.

Just like that, I smoothly brought Jasmine and Mei Ying out of the villa. Fan Xingjian in the courtyard was no longer there, and I didn't know how he left.

Jasmine's physical condition wasn't ideal, so I took her directly back to the funeral shop. Mei Ying was a ghost and couldn't be thrown away randomly, so she had to be taken back to the funeral shop as well.

The little rabbits seemed to be tinkering with something again while I was away. When they heard me come back, they quickly stopped working. I looked around the shop and didn't see anything broken, so I didn't pursue it.

After entering the funeral shop, I released Mei Ying. Anyway, the whole house was full of evil spirits, so I wasn't afraid of her running away.

I told Jasmine to rest on the second floor first. I went to cook some medicinal soup for her. She was too weak now, and it definitely wouldn't work if I didn't replenish her.

After watching Jasmine take her medicine and fall asleep, I also went to sleep. When I woke up, I found that the shop was unusually harmonious. Mei Ying quickly made friends with the evil spirits in my shop, and even became sworn sisters with the other two female ghosts in my shop. The two female ghosts were helping her comb her hair.

Looking at such a harmonious scene, I couldn't refuse to take Mei Ying in. Anyway, I already had enough evil spirits in my shop, so it didn't matter if I had one more.

What was difficult to deal with was Jasmine. When I got up, Jasmine had already gotten up a long time ago, and was busy in the kitchen alone, dragging her weak body, making a large table of food for me.

Jasmine said that I was her benefactor, and that meeting me was the greatest blessing in her life, and that coming to my shop proved that she had a destiny with my shop. From now on, she would not go anywhere else. Anyway, Bai Tingting had already redeemed her when she asked her to make a movie, and the boss of the red house would not make things difficult for her. She would live here with me from now on.

"I don't know much, but I can serve tea and water, take care of people, wash clothes, cook, and clean. I can also learn other things slowly, making paper figurines, making shrouds, anything that needs to be done in your shop, I can learn. Shopkeeper Wan, you must take me in. I don't want to go anywhere else except your shop."

This, my shop is quite lively, but those things aren't human. Suddenly a living person, and a woman, comes in. What am I supposed to do?

Moreover, I seriously suspect that Jasmine has ideas about me. She used to work in a special industry. What if she gave me some bedtime hints every night? Would I still be able to work?
