"Okay, I've understood the basic situation now, you can go back first, and I will contact you as soon as I have news." The female police officer's gentle voice rang next to her ears.

Two people walked out of the police station.

"Okay, now we can only wait. Let's go back to the hotel first. Remember to wait for your body to recover, and then help me find that fishing village. Maybe she is there."

The little Taoist nodded, and the two returned to the hotel.

Because there was only a little money left on hand, they didn't dare to spend it recklessly, so the two of them lived tightly.

Originally, I thought that the results from the police station would come soon, and the money they were cheated would be recovered.

However, one day passed, two days passed, three days...

After waiting for several days, there was still nothing. As a result, both of them were almost out of money to eat.

"Otherwise, let's go to the police station and ask again. Maybe if we urge them, the police will be quicker." The little Taoist sat on the bedside and suggested, stroking his belly that was almost flattened by hunger.

Ming shook his head calmly: "I can't go now, maybe we will disturb the rhythm of others if we go, let's wait, those policemen are so enthusiastic, they will definitely notify us as soon as there is news, Just wait and see."

While the two were talking, there was a hasty knock on the door, and the two were startled by the sudden knock.

"Who is it?" The little Taoist yelled out the door.

The people outside did not speak, but still knocked on the door stubbornly, with an increasingly urgent rhythm.

"Go and open the door." Ming ordered.

The little Taoist shook his head again and again, and said in a panic: "I'm injured now, what if there are no good people outside the door, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Ming sneered: "Don't worry, there are still people I can't handle."

Only then did the little Taoist hesitantly walk to the door. Just as he was about to reach out to open the door, a voice suddenly shouted outside the door: "If you don't open the door again, I will come in by myself. I have a room card in my hand."

The voice was somewhat familiar, Ming frowned and thought for a while, isn't this voice the young man at the front desk of the hotel?
"Hurry up and open the door, maybe something is wrong with him." Ming shouted at the little Taoist priest standing at the door.

With a click, the door was opened, and the young man stood at the door angrily, looked in, and probably felt that there was no inconvenience, so he walked straight in.

"Please sit down, would you like a glass of water?" Ming stood up very politely, and pulled the chair beside the table away.

"I'll sit down and talk to you, but I don't drink water, so don't worry about it. I want to ask you, do you think it's time to pay the rent?" .

Ming Meng slapped his head: "You see, I have a bad memory, how could I have forgotten this matter? By the way, I want to ask you, didn't I leave a deposit before? Can you use the deposit I paid first? The deposit is enough to cover the rent for a few days, I'm a little tight these two days, I'll pay you the money immediately after these two days have passed, what do you think?"

The young man, who seemed to be calm at first, was a little annoyed at this moment: "You really can't remember how much deposit you paid? There has been no room fee since yesterday, and your deposit has already been paid For yesterday's and today's room rates, don't forget that you are opening two houses now, so the cost is naturally very high."

Ming frowned and thought about it, and it was true.

"Give it a few more days, we are in some trouble now." The little Taoist also stepped forward to speak.

This young man also seemed to be quite soft-hearted, he didn't refuse the room outright, and showed a embarrassed look.

After hesitating and thinking for a long time, he came up with a plan: "Or else, I also work for others, I hope you don't make it too difficult for me, I will take away a house for the two of you. For a house, if you can make up the rent within three days, you can continue to live here. If there is no problem, it is no problem to pay a few thousand more, but if you can’t make up the rent within three days, then I can only ask I'm really sorry you went out."

Ming nodded and thanked again and again: "You don't need to say sorry, it's our fault, then do as you said, don't worry, I will give you the money when I can get it together."

The young man frowned and went out, and the little Taoist sat down on the edge of the bed, his whole body limp, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have spent so much money."

Ming also sat on the bedside and rolled his eyes at the little Taoist priest: "This has nothing to do with you, the main reason is that I am not clear-headed, and I was deceived by others. Really, people didn't find the money and got involved. That’s what the saying goes, if you lose your wife, you’ll lose your army.”

The two quickly vacated a room. In the next few days, the two shared the same bed. It was awkward to think about it, but there was still no news from the police station.

Seeing that three days were about to pass, the little Taoist and Ming finally couldn't hold back anymore and dialed the phone number of the police station.

It sounded like a young voice, but when they explained that they wanted to inquire about the progress of the case, the other party politely declined the specific progress they wanted to know, but said that the case was about to be closed, but when the little Taoist asked how many days were left At that time, the policeman on the other end of the phone said embarrassingly, and he couldn't tell now.

After hanging up the phone, the two returned to their lifeless state.

"If our village is kicked out tomorrow, will you still help me?" After thinking for a while, he asked a very realistic question.

The little Taoist smiled: "Look at what you're asking, who do you think I am? These days you control my food and housing, how can I leave you when you are in trouble? Don't worry, I still want to Help you find that girl, I just want to meet a girl who can fascinate you, what is it like?"

The humor and ease of the little Taoist soon broke the dull atmosphere.

Soon, when the deadline set by the shopkeeper came, there was still no news from the police station. Before they packed up and left consciously, the shopkeeper had already come to harass them.

It's just that this time it's not the young boy who came last time, but a middle-aged aunt who looks fierce.

After coming in, he sat on the chair without saying a word, and looked at the two people sitting by the bed, counting with their fingers.

The little Taoist priest and Ming didn't even have time to speak, and they were scolded a lot for no reason.

To sum it up, what the aunt was talking about was nothing more than two young people who were idle and not doing their jobs, and now they couldn't even pay the rent. Anyway, in the eyes of the aunt, she sneered at this kind of person, showing a look of extreme disdain.

Ming and the little Taoist are really suffering and can't tell.

After talking for a long time, the aunt may be tired, so she waved her hand and looked at the two of them and said, "You two should move out quickly, the boss ordered that you are not allowed to live here, sorry, our hotel does not accept credit .”

Ming stood up and tidied up while responding: "You don't have to do this, we didn't think about credit at all, we just packed up and left."

As Ming said, he also put the spirit card given by the old Taoist priest into his bag.

Soon, the two came to the street with their thin luggage. The street was bustling with people, and the weather was sunny today. It was just such a beautiful scene, and it didn't suit the mood of the two of them at all.

"I'm a little hungry, why don't we go eat first, and then we can discuss what to do next?" the little Taoist suggested.

Ming shook his head with some embarrassment: "I have no money now. The sum of the money in my pocket is probably only enough for the two of us to eat a pie."

The little Taoist was really surprised when he heard this. He knew that the two of them were poor now, but he didn't expect to be so poor.

"Okay then, let's not eat for now, and keep the little money left for emergencies." The little Taoist looked very considerate.

"It's ridiculous. It's the first time I've been kicked out of a hotel after I've lived for so long, and the reason was because I didn't have money." Ming sat on the steps of the street as he spoke, and sneered: "But Do you know? The problem I am most worried about now is not money, I really want to find that fishing village, and I am afraid that if I delay it, something bad may happen.”

The little Taoist shook his head: "There is really no other way now. We can only wait. In this situation, we can only fill our stomachs and find a place to live. I will help you when my skills are almost recovered." turn up."

Ming nodded, he believed in the little Taoist in front of him.

Just like that, the two of them wandered aimlessly and dejectedly on the street, and suddenly Xiao Dao pointed to a glass and shouted: "Look, there is a job advertisement over there."

At this moment, Ming felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. In fact, the problem of money is easy to solve. He can go back to the underworld, or ask someone he knows for help.

He had already thought about this question that day. Now he has lost his beloved, and he is still living in such a mess, not to mention that there is a little Taoist priest by his side. The scene where the two of them met is quite strange.

Ming has always been a person with a little face, he thought about his own affairs, it is better to solve it by himself.

Ming frowned and asked the little Taoist: "What do you mean? Are you asking me to work?"

The little Taoist blushed and said: "It's not that I want you to go to work, but I will go to work with you. Let's earn some money for food, and I can recover well."

Ming rolled his eyes and said in a disdainful tone: "Look at yourself, your arm is injured, don't you still have to work alone?"
