Devil's Department Store

Of course, a ten-year-old child couldn't keep the money. He was beaten up and robbed of the money, but he managed to keep his mother's body, dug a pit in the suburbs, and buried her.

By the time Miser got home, it was already the third day, but it wasn't his home anymore.

The mother's death was soon known, the owner of the house came to ask for the rent, Miser had no money, so she was kicked out, and could only live like a little stray dog ​​under the eaves of other people's houses, or in the straw pile .

Fortunately, the weather wasn't too cold, and Miser knew there was a place to work, so he barely survived.

But people can't live just for the sake of surviving. In any case, there must be something they want to do.

Miser's thoughts at that time were simple and innocent, he wanted to find his father.

Although this man didn't exist for long in his short life, he was his father and a relative like his mother. No matter what, Miser had to find him.

In the next few days, Miser has been striving for this goal.

In Miser's first year alone, his hard work impressed the master in the workshop, and the other party wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but someone accused Miser of stealing things from the workshop, so he was kicked out and almost starved to death on the street .

After all, Miser did not starve to death, but luckily found another place where he could work. Although more than half a year later, he was driven away because of similar incidents, but there are other places willing to take him in.

In the past three years, Miser was almost used to such things. He traveled around and lived in no fixed place. After all, he grew up stumbling until he was 13 years old.

Although the 13-year-old child is not very old, Miser is finally eligible to receive wages. He began to inquire about his father, and he has some clues, but the place is a bit far away, and he has to work harder.

Fucking fate, of course, will not let him go. Miser changed jobs three times, and the money he saved was stolen once, robbed twice, and lost once by himself. It was not until he was 15 years old that he finally managed to save the money enough.

But when he was happily walking on the road, planning how to go to another town, he saw a girl who was dying of illness.

Miser cherished the money he earned, he thought, I still want to go to my father.

Miser stood there for a while, took all the money and the girl to the doctor, and started all over again.

Of course, the big boys get more wages than the young boys, and the 15-year-old Miser has learned to fight with others, but not everyone can easily snatch the money from him.

This age is when human beings are most tenacious and have the most vitality. No matter how many times they fail, they can stand up again without fear. Miser is like a weed, stationed vigorously in the saline-alkali land prepared for him by fate.

Growth seems to be fine.

At the age of 16, Misser finally saved enough money again, this time, he went to the town where his father lived without incident.

After getting rid of him and his mother, Miser's father married the noble lady as he wished. After all, he has some business skills and also has a handsome face.

Sixty percent of Miser's appearance was inherited from him, and Miser's mother gave the best part of herself to the child, making up the remaining [-]%.

Miser found the noble man's manor, tidied himself up, and waited obediently by the roadside.

In fact, he didn't have much hope. The ten-year-old Miser wanted to live with his father, but the 16-year-old Miser already knew a lot of things. He just wanted to see his father and chat with him.

He won't even tell his mother's death and the hardships he has endured for so many years. He just wants to recognize each other. It would be even better if there is a hug or a word of encouragement.

It doesn't matter if you don't, Miser thought again, just say a few words.

After waiting for two days and two nights, Miser finally saw the man.

Miser actually didn’t have a deep impression of his father, but he recognized him at a glance, maybe because of the similar parts of their bodies, or maybe because of some kind of induction between father and son. In short, Miser knew that sitting in the carriage That man is his father.

Miser looked at his side face and was very excited. The boy yelled, but he didn't know how to call him. He couldn't remember the name of the other person, and of course he couldn't call him "Father" because it would bring him trouble. of.

In the end, Miser could only shout: "Mr. Howard!"

This is the surname of that noble family.

The man heard the voice, looked over here, and then froze for a moment.

Miser became even more excited. He knew that the other party must have recognized him, and maybe he would stop the carriage immediately and come down to have a word with him——

The man froze for a moment, then frowned and turned his head back.

The sound of the horse's hooves was crisp, and the wheels made a rumbling sound, rolling over the ground in front of Miser's eyes and walking away.

Miser stood there blankly, not knowing what happened, he subconsciously chased a few steps towards the carriage, and stopped again.

Maybe it was inconvenient to have a coachman and servants nearby, Miser argued in his mind, and after a while, Mr. Howard would come to him quietly.

Miser guessed right, he waited for a servant to come, so he happily went up to him, wanting to ask his father what message he had brought, but before he could open his mouth, the bright smiling face hit him unpreparedly. Remember the fist.

The boy's body was too thin, Miser almost flew out, and his head hit the ground heavily. He might faint for a while, and when he woke up, he felt pain all over his body.

The servant threw a half-full money bag on his face, and warned: "I don't care what your relationship with Master Howard is, take this money and stay away from here! I can guarantee that I will show up in front of Master Howard again Once, your life will be lost!"

Miser had fought with many people, and of course received a lot of punches, but never had it hurt as much as now. When he reacted, he found that his face was covered with tears.

He lost his father even before he lost his mother.

Miser counted the money twice, crying while counting. Master Howard gave him twenty gold coins. If the money exchanged by his father could arrive earlier, would he still be able to retain one person?

Miser dragged his injured body and went to the town in a daze. He wanted to go back, but after finding the driver, he found that he had lost the twenty gold coins at some point, and he brought them with him. together with those money.

There are no words to describe Miser's mood at that time. It's not that he hasn't experienced the same thing, but at that moment, he really felt the taste of despair.

Miser cried loudly in the street, banging his head on the stones on the ground, wishing he could die immediately.Faced with such a fate, he didn't know why he was still alive and what he could do. He fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, watching people coming and going numbly.

The boy's back was bent, and the saline-alkali land was really not a suitable place for growth.

Of course Miser didn't die there, he was still alive, he sold his strength and saved money, and returned to his original city.

Of course he will not have any expectations for this fucking fate anymore, but Miser also understands that there are not so many shoulds and nos in this world. He is just an ordinary person. When fate comes, no matter whether it is good or bad, he can do All you have to do is accept it and find a way to live.

Parents are no longer the most important thing in Miser's life. It seems that the only dream he can realize is to open a department store of his own.

Even Misser back then, with a big smile at the thought of the goal, seemed to have momentum in his life again, and he started saving money again.

The money to open a department store is not something that can be earned by working as a coolie for a few years, but Miser has more or less business acumen, and he began to travel around several cities, reselling some food and daily necessities.

Those things that often happened in the past are of course still happening. There are many times when Miser loses everything, but what he does every time is to do a few more days of coolie, pay off the debt, earn the capital, and start all over again.

In addition, Miser is also often stupid. Seeing someone as unlucky as him, he can't help but spend money to help. regret.

Of course, the next time something happens, Miser will reluctantly take out the money he has worked so hard to save. No matter what, the money can be made again, and a person has only one life.

He forgot his own conclusion at the moment, "No matter the fate is good or bad, all people can do is accept it"-he himself can accept it, but he can't always watch the same fate befall other people.

Miser worked hard with such entanglement and regret, and could never save enough money to open a store.

Misser died on his 20th birthday.

He knew he was unlucky, but he didn't know that he would be so unlucky.Terrible things happened in this land. The disease swept all the cities, and people died in large numbers. Of course, there was no reason for Miser to be spared.

He had contracted the plague, burned unconscious, and coughed up blood that might have filled an earthen jar.

Miser had never imagined that a person could be in such pain, he couldn't breathe, he was aching all over, and at the same time, he was still plagued by hunger and thirst - this disease is contagious, of course he can't stay in town.

Miser has been wandering in the wilderness with his sick body for three days.

Miser always thought that before he died, he probably only wanted to die quickly, but in fact, besides eating and drinking enough and recovering his health, what he thought about was whether to dig a hole to bury himself.

Although he no longer has that strength.

Of course, it would be even better if he survived.Miser actually doesn’t want to die at all, even if this fate is rotten like a pile of shit, Miser still wants to live, he still has a lot of things to do, he hasn’t had time to realize his dream, most importantly, he There are still a few copper coins in his pocket, and he hasn't had time to enjoy even a day...

"Misser? Miser!" Robert cried.

Miser came back to his senses, glanced at it, and said disgustedly: "Why?"

Robert said: "Didn't you say that you can ask? So what were you like before? Can I interview you? Why are you so stingy? Why did you open the Devil's Department Store?"

"Um……"

Miser crossed his arms and was about to speak, when he suddenly found that all the other employees had gathered together, even Benben and Moon were poking their heads.

Miser: "..."

Miser said slowly: "It's okay to talk about the previous things, but after the talk, today we have to turn over all the land in front of us."

Everyone: "..."

The lot is about the size of a football field!Are you serious? !

Miser immediately said: "Don't listen to me."

The employees hurriedly said: "Listen!"

When Miser heard this, she raised her legs in satisfaction, and said slowly, "It all started when I was young."

"Don't look at how poor I was when I was a demon. When I was a human, my family was very rich."

"Wow—" everyone sighed in unison.

"No," Robert came to his senses, "If your family is rich, why would you be so picky?!"

"Tsk, how many times have I said that it's not called picking, that's called thrift! Children from rich families pay more attention to quality education, okay? I've been very frugal since I was a child!"

Miser said seriously: "Do you know why I want to open the Devil's Department Store? It's because my family is too rich and has been involved in all industries, except for department stores, so I inherited the legacy of my ancestors." , must open a department store Guangyaomenlintel!"

Everyone sighed again: "Wow - is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true." Miser vowed.

Miser made up a story for them. In the story, he was no longer an unlucky guy. His mother loved him very much, and his father loved him very much. They lived happily and happily together. He has never been sick, and when he was 20 years old, his family prepared a birthday surprise for him, but his heart was not good, and he died suddenly due to excessive excitement, and he went to hell suddenly, without any pain at all.

The employees were dubious about his story, and were very speechless about his death, but they had nothing to refute, so they were easily fooled by the succubus, muttering, and reluctantly went to work.

Miser dealt with the matter, relieved, and looked up, only to find Belphegor looking down at him.

Miser: "..."

Yes, Belphegor knew all about him.

Miser thought of the story he made up just now, and couldn't help but said awkwardly: "Why? Have you never seen someone brag?"

Belphegor laughed, stretched out a hand towards him, and pulled him to stand up: "Of course I have, dear, I have seen everything you do."

Miser glared at him and was about to curse when Belphinger kissed him.

Miser struggled at first, but gave in after a while, and looked at Belphinger blushing when they parted.

Belphegor couldn't resist kissing him again, and then said, "Do you remember Daniel, dear?"

Miser blinked and said, "Him? What's wrong with him? Is he not used to the demon life?"

Belphegor shook his head with a smile, and said, "No, he's adapted well, and now they call him Good Luck Daniel."

Miser was taken aback.

"There are always twists and turns, my dear," Belphegor whispered. "I assure you, your future will be exactly like your story."

Miser looked at him directly, but didn't speak.

After a while, he pursed his lips, not knowing whether to cry or smile, and said, "You said it."

"I said it," Belphegor said earnestly, "Of course, except for the sudden death at the end, you won't die again!"

Miser let out a "poof" laugh, and plunged into his arms.

Although Belphegor is always full of lies, he knows that the other party has not lied to him.

You see, doesn't he explain everything from the beginning to the present?Destiny has indeed recovered as Belphegor said, and he will never suffer any harm again.
