It was late at night, the candlelight was dim, and the slender man was standing there wearing a thick robe that was neither pink nor white, as if he was wrapped in a big cotton quilt with a bamboo chopstick, which was very incongruous.

Look at the other person's face again - hey, it's strange to say that, even though he comes here in the middle of the night to do no good things, the fear on his face at this moment is even worse than that of a weak woman like me.

Think about Bai Xuan's attitude again...

I couldn't help laughing: "What do you want to do? You're afraid of being like this."

Xiaolian looked at him and then at me, but she didn't speak first.

But the other person's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed to the bedside: "My distinguished guest, what do you think of me? Can I have sex with you for a while?"

As he spoke, he unceremoniously pulled his pink and white robe to his shoulders, and his big watery eyes squeezed out the wrinkles with difficulty: "You see, I am very pretty."

"puff!"

Xiaolian couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, she slowly approached holding the candlestick: "Recommend yourself for a pillow? Then let's see, which one of you is pretty? We won't suffer that disadvantage."

The dim candlelight danced on my cheeks, and the man in front of me widened his eyes. Suddenly a string of tears rolled down his face, and then he lay down beside the bed:

"Oooh, I'm so miserable..."

He was a grown man crying so miserably, and I was a little at a loss for a moment.

Fortunately, Xiaolian was still sensible, and she seemed to remember that the other party had touched the bedside, something she hadn't noticed yet. Her self-esteem was probably frustrated for a moment, so she asked:

"Who are you? You came here in the middle of the night, do you want to suck people's energy?"

The man cried for a while, then raised his head angrily, with round tears on his fair face:

"Who wants to suck people's sperm?"

"I just wanted to serve the customers well and earn a few bucks to buy myself new clothes - but who knew that the man who stayed in the hotel at the beginning would call me a ghost when he saw me."

"Then no one came at all."

"It's been a long time, and now I'm here with you. My dear guest, you are more handsome than me. Who among us will serve whom?"

He looked at me sadly: "I don't have any money to give you anymore."

What he said was very irregular and unreasonable.

Why do I need him to serve my innocent daughter, why do I need his money?

Xiaolian was not angry either: "Suddenly someone sat next to the bed in the middle of the night. Any normal person would have to call him ghost!"

"What's more, you are not human in the first place."

but.

"Then again," Xiaolian looked at him suspiciously: "You are not a human being, what do you want money for?"

"What else can be done?"

The man burst into tears again and lifted up his robe: "My clothes are faded. I want to earn money to buy a new one. What's wrong with me?"

I blinked - I just wanted to change into new clothes, why did I end up recommending myself to the pillow?

"Xiao Lian, is it so expensive to make a suit of clothes in the city? How much does it cost?"

During the day, I was thinking about burning a few more beautiful dresses for Xiaolian, just in case they were very expensive...

That……

All you can do is grit your teeth and burn!

Xiaolian also hesitated: "In our village, we all tear off the cloth and make it at home. The good cloth in the city... Hey," she stared at the man:

"How much do you want?"

The man looked at her carefully, then stretched out two fingers:

"Two cents."

Now, not to mention Xiaolian, even I felt a little short of breath.

"Two cents!"

Just two cents!

The man was still crying: "It's so hard to make money. I tried many times, but those customers would rather run out and lose money than give me these two cents!"

"But this owner is particularly stingy. Ever since he took over the inn, he has been like a brave man who can only get in and out. I have been hanging under the eaves for nearly two years and attracted many customers for him, but now it has turned into this.

He was not willing to spend two pennies to put a new layer of lantern shell on me..."

"I gave him a dream. I said he could settle down in this inn for just two cents, but he didn't!"

"He fell down when he said he would. He went back to the countryside to become a landlord..."

"I just want to wear a bright red dress and sway beautifully in the wind. What's wrong with me?"

oh.

I sat there numbly.

I probably understood in my heart - this man was transformed into a spirit by the lantern hanging at the door of the inn.

Because I am integrated with this inn, and because I have no intention of harming others, I can sit peacefully beside my bed without disturbing Xiaolian.

Presumably, Bai Xuanding already knew what the other party was like, so he said those words.

I thought about it again and again, facing such a faded lantern, even if someone woke me up in the middle of the night, I really couldn't get angry.

How to say?

With such ability and only needing two cents, it should be easy to steal money.

But he refused to do it, and insisted on recommending himself to be self-reliant...

Stupid is kind of cute.

Coupled with the fact that I met this brave boss, Wolong Fengxiao, they were a perfect match.

My compassion suddenly aroused, I turned over my robe and untied two copper plates from the copper coin string.

After thinking for a while, I counted 8 more.

"Here you go, for ten cents, you can re-paste yourself a new lantern skin every year, so you don't have to scare yourself in the middle of the night."

The man looked at me blankly, his delicate face turned silly, like a huge goose.

It wasn't until 10 copper plates jingled and landed in his palm that he suddenly looked at me hesitantly, then at my heavy trousers, and then made a voice of infatuation:

"You are so rich..."

Subconsciously, I hugged the bag tightly and said modestly: "Fortunately, I also met a rich landlord..."

However, I saw the man looking at me expectantly:

"Since you are so rich, then I...then I am willing to commit myself to you and serve you for the rest of my life!"

I shook my head wildly: "No, no, no..."

Bai Xuan will be jealous.

Moreover, this lantern doesn't seem to be very smart, so what's the use of me coming?

Unexpectedly, the other party refused to give up and started crying again:

"Dear guest, if you are so rich, please support me! You are foreigners. If you want to travel in the future, you will carry me. It will be much brighter than ordinary lanterns!"

"Moreover, after I glued the new lantern shell, it turned red and bright, which will make you look pretty!"

"I'm not afraid of wind and rain. It's inconvenient to go out!"

He looked at me, then at Xiaolian, and suddenly replied shyly:

"If I become my real body, round and round, this female ghost sister can also enter my lantern shell, and she won't be afraid of the wind or the sun."

After all, as a lantern hung high, it is swaying in the wind, rain, and scorching sun, but it is normal.
