The atmosphere suddenly became cold. The shop owner realized that he had been tricked by a group of humans. He immediately showed a fierce look on his face and wanted to teach them a lesson. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Humans here are a vulnerable group. If their identities are exposed, they are likely to attract the attention of other ghosts. The young people wearing masks on their faces actually changed their expressions. At this moment, they wanted to pin Fan Xiao, the unlucky child, to the ground and beat him up.
Gu Ye saw that things were not going well, and before the boss could make a move, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Get down, who told you to stand up?"
The evil spirit on Gu Ye became even stronger, he grabbed the boss' collar with a murderous look and pressed him to the ground fiercely. There is a principle here, as long as you are strong enough, no one dares to touch you.
"I captured a person to eat, and you dare to tell anyone?" Gu Ye approached the boss with a ferocious grimace on his face, and the other party's momentum that had just risen was instantly suppressed by Gu Ye. He was frightened and knelt on the ground again, shrinking his neck like a quail tortured by the cold wind.
Gu Ye sneered and kicked him, "If you dare to tell anyone, I'll eat you too!"
"No, no, no! I dare not tell anyone!"
Xie Cheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They had never thought that being aggressive could have such an effect. As a result, everyone's morale rose significantly. "Do you still dare to take someone's skin?"
"No more! I won't do it again!" The boss begged for mercy. He didn't dare to fight back even when he was beaten and kicked. Xie Cheng told him, "Change your profession! Don't sell human skin lanterns anymore! Sell cloth instead!"
"Cloth lanterns are not easy to sell. Rich people would not hang cloth lanterns in their graves. They are not impressive..."
"Cloth is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and it looks better than human skin. If you dare to talk back, I will gut you and eat you!"
"Cloth seller! I won't sell human skin anymore, cloth seller!" The shop owner was frightened. This group of people dared to eat even living people. Their lawless appearance was too scary. Although he was puzzled as to why they didn't let him sell human skin, he didn't dare to ask, for fear of angering them and being eaten by these evil ghosts.
When everyone saw that they were done scaring him, they signaled with their eyes that it was time to leave. Gu Ye kicked him again and said coldly, "I will send people to check from time to time. If you dare to steal my great-grandson's business again, you know the consequences!"
The boss immediately realized that his business was too good and angered his competitors. The competitors invited their ancestors out of their homes. He quickly assured them, "Don't worry, sir. I will only sell cloth lanterns from now on."
The crowd then spared him, grabbed Fan Xiao's neck and dragged the unlucky boy out. People didn't care about what happened in the underworld, and they couldn't judge the boss on the spot. It was enough to scare him and tell him not to do this kind of business again. It is said that no matter whether you are a human or a ghost, the King of Hell will have a record. It's not that he won't report it, but the time has not come yet. This boss will be dealt with sooner or later.
After leaving the store, they found a corner where no one else could see them. They couldn't help but pin Fan Xiao to the ground and beat him up, "You idiot kid!"
"How could I raise such a jerk like you!"
"What did you eat tonight? Your fart stinks!"
"Daddy almost got killed by you! Luckily Gu Ye managed to scare him off!"
Fan Xiao said aggrievedly, "I can't hold it anymore. I can't help it. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. I shouldn't have farted! The radish cakes my master made tonight were so delicious that I ate six of them."
Everyone: “…”
Fan Xiao's master is a female master. She was over 50 years old before she found such a good apprentice. She put all her motherly love on him and raised him as both a son and a grandson. Fan Xiao is not an orphan. He became a disciple when he was seven or eight years old and went back home once every six months. His parents and brothers and sisters wanted to give him the best and didn't need him to worry about anything. That's why they spoiled the child into this confused state.
The good thing is that this child has been lucky since he was young, and has a good personality. He smiles at everyone he meets, and those older than him call him brother or sister. He shares all the delicious food with everyone, and has been a favorite since he was a child. Everyone protects him, and with his little bit of luck, he has lived to this age without any problems. Seeing the child's aggrieved look, what else can I say
Gu Ye held his forehead and looked at Fan Xiao, feeling like he saw the fourth child in their family. "Okay, stop beating him. Don't take him with you if there are any dangerous things in the future. Don't eat radishes when there are important things in the future!"
Fan Xiao nodded obediently, "I understand, brother. I won't eat radishes anymore. I'm sorry."
Gu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard him calling him brother so straightforwardly. In his lifetime, there were actually people in the same industry who called him brother, while in the past they all called him "that troublemaker".
"Okay, let's go." Gu Ye patted Fan Xiao's shoulder, and the corners of his mouth hidden under the mask curled up slightly. There is no shortage of silly boys in every industry, and it would not be bad if he could always maintain this innocence.
Gu Ye turned around and tried to leave, but someone grabbed his sleeve. Gu Ye turned back and looked at Fan Xiao in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Hehe." Fan Xiao pulled Gu Ye's sleeve and shook it, happy like a child, "Holding you like this feels like holding your senior brother."
Gu Ye laughed, "Silly boy, let's go."
Xie Cheng smiled and said, "Fan Xiao knows your senior brother. Your senior brother saved his life. At that time, he was still young and had just entered the sect. When your senior brother died, he almost cried himself silly."
Gu Ye was shocked, "When?"
Fan Xiao said embarrassedly: "There was one time when I got lost and was caught by an evil ghost. Your senior brother passed by and rescued me. He stuffed me into a trash can and hid me. He also called the police for me."
Gu Ye racked his brains to think about it. He had forgotten most of the things that happened more than ten years ago. When he was in his teens, he hated children very much. He always felt that the lost children were just like him, little pieces of trash that no one wanted. Usually, after rescuing them, he would stuff them into the trash can and let them wait for the police to pick them up. So which child was Fan Xiao? Gu Ye laughed dryly. He couldn't remember. He apologized to the children who were stuffed into the trash can by him when he was young and ignorant.
The group walked out together. They could not turn back on this street. If they entered from this side, they could only exit from the other side. If they turned back, they would have to extinguish the Zhengyang lamp on their shoulders. They could only walk forward along the street. Even if the people on this street were not as afraid of Gu Ye as the people in the square, they were still very wary of Gu Ye. They would retreat when they felt Gu Ye's presence from a distance. Some were afraid of offending him and even quietly closed the door. Gu Ye was still arrogant and domineering. When he saw someone daring to look at him, he stopped and deliberately looked at the other person. The other person turned his head away in fear, and Gu Ye let him go.
Du Yue, who had been to the ghost market before, didn’t know what to say. He didn’t expect that strolling around the ghost market could be like parading on the street. It was so impressive.
When they reached the street, there was a small shop with a few ghosts sitting in front of the door. Gu Ye stopped and looked at them, "Selling ghost servants?"
The boss, wearing a green robe and holding a fan, stood quietly at the door and bowed to him without saying a word. "Would you like to buy one, sir? The ghost servants made by our shop are all very intelligent."
Gu Ye shook his head and commented: "I don't even want these ugly things even if you give them to me."
The boss opened his mouth, but the next words were choked back. Not wanting to cause trouble, he lowered his head with a cold face and said nothing.
Xie Cheng wants to beat Gu Ye, just get out and it will be over. You still dare to cause trouble, get out now!
Gu Ye walked away swaggeringly. The boss looked up at his back and frowned. The mask was the same, the domineering temperament was the same, and he thought that the face-obsessed little bully was here again, but this height... was at least five centimeters shorter, it wasn't him. Moreover, he always went alone, and there were definitely not so many people following him. The blue-clothed scholar leaned against the door frame, gently waving his fan, with a flash of regret in his eyes.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and the white fog was gradually rising. Du Yue reminded everyone, "After twelve o'clock, those who dare to come out are old ghosts. Everyone be careful."
"I..." Fan Xiao hesitated, looking at the way everyone was looking at him, and said aggrievedly: "I want to fart again."
Everyone yelled at him: "Hold it!"
Gu Ye was amused. This kid had gotten to the point where he had to ask for leave even to fart, and what was even worse was that others didn't allow him to do so.
At this moment, a little girl in a red dress came out of the mist. The child was about six or seven years old, with hair just reaching her shoulders, a baby face, big eyes, and clear eyes, making her look like a little doll. Seeing them, the little girl raised the corners of her mouth, ran to Gu Ye in a few steps, and hugged Gu Ye's legs.
The speed of the little girl made everyone alert. Gu Ye looked at the child calmly, "Lost?"
The little girl smiled sweetly and said coquettishly: "Little brother, you are so handsome, stay and play with me."
Gu Ye chuckled twice, "Little mother-in-law, you are also pretty, how about being my mobile phone pendant?"
The girl's eyes turned cold, and she retreated several meters in the blink of an eye. She looked at Gu Ye coldly, her voice hoarse like an old woman, "You are so boring."
Gu Ye smiled and said, "I think you are quite interesting. It would be nice to take you home and raise you as a pet."
The little girl asked coldly: "Where did you get your mask?"
Gu Ye said indifferently: "It was handed down from my master. If you like it, come and get it."
Gu Ye had a strong murderous aura. The girl looked at him, snorted, and ultimately didn’t want to have a conflict with him, so she disappeared into the white mist in an instant.
Gu Ye said with a cold face: "Let's go quickly, those coming out from behind are all monsters."
Everyone got nervous and followed Gu Ye, finally getting out of the ghost market without any danger. They came out from the other side of the street. When they saw the time, it was 12:05. Everyone saw the frightened look in each other's eyes. It was too exciting! No wonder everyone in the sect said that the first time you go to the ghost market, you must be accompanied by an elder. You can't go to the ghost market alone if you have something to do. If it weren't for Gu Ye's powerful aura, who knows how much trouble would have happened.
Xie Cheng untied Fan Xiao's rope and thanked everyone: "Thank you for coming. Call us next time if you have any problems."
Xie Cheng asked everyone to accompany him and Gu Ye because he was worried that they would be in danger. If he had known that Gu Ye had this ability, he would not have asked anyone. However, the brothers were able to accompany them to such a dangerous place, and they had to remember this friendship. Gu Ye responded and smiled: "Thank you everyone, call us if you need anything."
"You're welcome. Let's get together again when we have time."
"If you have anything to say in the future, just let me know in the group, Gu Ye, don't be embarrassed."
Gu Ye smiled and nodded. He appreciated the kindness, but he still only needed to take Jie Cheng with him. It was a bit boring to be alone, so two people would be a good way to take care of him. He was still not suitable for teamwork.
——
After returning, Gu Ye started to attend classes obediently.
The credits he had earned from the sports meet were lost in the past few days. Fortunately, after this incident, Gu Ye never received any more assignments and was able to attend classes peacefully until the end of the year.
The midterm exams are at the end of the year. According to the result of Yu Ze's discussion with the school, Gu Ye, Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang will directly apply to take the same exam as their seniors in the third year of high school. If they perform well, they will skip a grade after the new year.
Every year, there are students who apply for this kind of exam, and some apply for early graduation. The school encourages students to do so. If you have the ability, the school will allow you to take the graduation exam after one year. There are more than a dozen people in the same grade and major who took the exam with Gu Ye and his friends. After the exam, more than a dozen people looked at each other and finally said: "Keep going, see you in the senior classroom."
Having said that, it is impossible for all of them to pass the exam. After the exam, Gu Ye and the others went to eat something. The afternoon exam was scheduled at 2:30, and the three of them went to Gu Ye's house to read books. Xia Xiang was relatively calm, while Gu Ye and Zhao Pengyu were a little unsure. After all, among the three of them, only Xia Xiang could study hard with his textbooks, while Gu Ye often ran out, and Zhao Pengyu wanted to play whenever he had time.
The three of them took out their textbooks and flipped through them. Then they lay down on the sofa and slept for half an hour before taking the exam again in the afternoon.
When they entered the examination room, Gu Ye encouraged them, "You must do well in the exam. Think about the courses in the third year of high school. There will be less time for classes in the second half of the year. We can go wherever we want."
Zhao Pengyu exposed Gu Ye with one word, "You are working so hard to skip a grade because you have fewer classes in senior year."
Gu Ye patted the child's shoulder and said, "You must follow your uncle's steps and don't be left behind, my child."
"If I get left behind, you must come back to save me. The child needs you! We are a family and cannot be separated!"
Every time Xia Xiang saw them talking nonsense, he felt powerless. One was Gu San Sui, and the other was Zhao San Sui.
After the exam, the results were not available for the time being, and the winter vacation started right after that. The teacher not only looked at the results, but also the usual performance, and made a comprehensive judgment on whether or not to skip a grade, so the results were not known until after the new year.
The three of them packed up and went back to their own homes. Now that Gu Yang was on vacation, the child had stopped playing games and had become addicted to boxing. When Gu Ye came back, Mrs. Gu finally had a place to vent her anger. "You guys don't know how to manage him! He said he wanted to be a professional game player before, but now he's practicing boxing and wants to be a national athlete. With his status, he can't even beat the community level! I told him but he didn't listen. As his brother, you must manage him well during this winter vacation, or I'll hold you responsible!"
Gu Ye also felt a headache when he heard what his brother had done, "Where is the fourth brother now?"
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she had no strength left. She held her forehead and said, "The gym."
Gu Ye sighed, "Don't worry about it, I'll scold him later."
Mrs. Gu then softened her expression, "If he doesn't obey, you can teach him a lesson."
Gu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are really my biological mother."
"If I were his stepmother, I would have sold him out long ago!"
"Okay, I get it. Calm down." After Gu Ye coaxed Mrs. Gu away, he asked someone to bring Gu Yang back from the gym.
The child was wearing two boxing gloves, looking quite authentic, and said happily: "Brother! Brother, you are finally back. Did our mother complain to you again?"
Seeing his height, Gu Ye couldn't suppress the urge to beat him up. He hadn't seen this naughty kid for a while, and he had grown taller and was very strong. Gu Ye was puzzled. They were all children of the same father, so why was he the shortest? Why was he less than 1.8 meters tall? Was innate constitution so important
Gu Ye's face turned cold, "Don't be so playful with me, why did you make our mother angry again?"
"I didn't provoke her. She got angry on her own," Gu Yang said innocently. "Who knows what this old lady is thinking?"
Gu Ye's mouth twitched. This naughty kid always asked for it when he got beaten. "Aren't you going to be a professional gamer? Why are you obsessed with boxing now?"
"I don't think playing games is suitable for me, brother. I think what our mom said is right. Playing games can easily lead to loss of ambition. A man should do what a man should do."
"for example?"
"Like boxing, training abdominal muscles, getting a gold belt or something."
Gu Ye held his forehead with his hand, "Can you please not set your goal so far?"
"Brother, people must have dreams," Gu Yang said with a look on his face, "Brother, you don't understand me at all." "What's the difference between having no dreams and being a salted fish?"
Gu Ye grabbed his ear in annoyance and twisted it half a circle.
Gu Yang quickly took off his boxing gloves and covered his ears, "Brother, let go, let's talk it over, why did you just start fighting me? It hurts, help me!"
Gu Ye said coldly, "Shut up!"
Gu Yang was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.
Gu Ye sat on the sofa and said earnestly: "You will be a senior next year. You should study hard from now on. I don't ask you to get into a famous university, but it's fine if you can get into a decent school. You can do whatever you want in the future, right? Our dad is old now. If you can't even get into a second-tier university, he will be so angry that he will pass out."
"No, brother!" Gu Yang squatted on the ground aggrieved, hugging Gu Ye's legs, like a child weighing more than 100 pounds, "I don't know why I can't get a high score, I also want to study well!"
Gu Ye couldn't help but almost laughed out loud, "What do you like? Can you like something and like it for a longer time?"
Having said that, Gu Ye had already seen that this was the fate of this child. He would not achieve anything, but he was lucky and would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But now, in order to save his father's face, he had to get him into a school that was slightly better than an ordinary university. If this child could always be interested in the same thing, it would be fine to train him in a skill, but the problem was that this naughty child only showed interest in something for a short time. Gu Ye looked at his brother tiredly, and was helpless, "Brother will take you out to play, and when you're done playing, come back to study, okay?"
Gu Yang's eyes lit up, "I will definitely study hard!"
Gu Ye sighed and didn't have much hope for him.
"Let's go and relax. Starting tomorrow, you have to do your homework well. I'll watch you. If you dare to make the teacher angry again, I'll spank you." Gu Ye stood up. "Go change your clothes and go out later. I'll take you to the racetrack and have fun all afternoon."
Gu Yang happily went to change his clothes, and when he was told to go out and play, he was in high spirits.
After running a few laps happily, Gu Ye thought that Gu Yang was still bumping into obstacles in the novice area. But when he got out of the car, he saw that Gu Yang had actually mastered the car. Although he drove very slowly in the novice area, he did not bump into obstacles.
The coach saw Gu Ye and hurried over to say, "Your brother is so talented. The car is like a toy to him. He can operate it after watching the coach demonstrate. Did he really not know how to drive before?"
Gu Ye shook his head in surprise, "He really can't. He's not even eighteen years old yet, and no one has thought of training him to drive."
The coach sighed: "That's because he is so talented."
Gu Yang ran a lap and stopped, saying happily: "Brother! This is so fun to run! I've decided, I want to..."
"Shut up!" Gu Ye pointed at him, "Think about it before you speak. If you dare to change your mind every day, I'll beat you up."
Gu Yang smiled and scratched his head, "I won't say anything more."
Gu Ye raised his lips, "Tomorrow you should do your homework well. If you can pass the test the teacher gives you, I will take you out to play for another day. If you get 80 points in the test, I will take you out to play once a week. The same applies to exams at school. If you do well in the test, I will ask your teacher for leave, pick you up from your school, and take you out to play every week. When you are in the third year of high school, if you can get into the top 20 in the class, I will buy you a sports car. I will not beat you, scold you, and take you out to play. Do you want to learn?"
"I'll learn!" Gu Yang hugged Gu Ye with emotion, "Brother, I'll learn when I get back!"
Gu Ye said comfortedly: "Brother believes in you, you just need to work hard for this year and a half, and you can play however you want in the future, I won't care about you."
Gu Yang said seriously, "Brother, don't worry, I will fight!"
When he got home, Father Gu was already at home. Seeing the two little brothers who had been out for a long time, Father Gu raised his eyebrows. Before he could say anything, Gu Ye said, "I have already taught him a political and ideological lesson. Starting tomorrow, he will study hard with the teacher. After finishing his winter vacation homework, he will work hard to make up for the missed lessons and strive to get a good grade in the next exam."
Father Gu was surprised to see Gu Yang's well-behaved appearance. In the past, no matter what he said, Gu Yang always looked innocent and helpless, which made people feel that he didn't take it to heart at all. This was the first time he saw this child so serious. Father Gu rarely smiled, "It's okay to be motivated. If you didn't do well in the exam this time, there will be next time. Keep working hard."
Mrs. Gu was pleased that every time Gu Ye said something, it worked. From now on, Gu Yang would have to be left to Gu Ye's care.
After dinner, Mrs. Gu found Gu Ye and asked him curiously, "How did you persuade him? This naughty kid actually listened to you."
Gu Ye laughed, "You give him a carrot to hook him. Beating him is useless. Only carrots can arouse his interest."
Mrs. Gu was confused, "Is he a rabbit or a donkey?"
Gu Ye suppressed a smile, "Don't worry about it. By the way, you won't be going back to your hometown for the New Year this year, right?"
“Not this year.”
Gu Ye was immediately happy. He didn't want to run so far at all. He just wanted to stay at home.
The next day, Gu Ye monitored Gu Yang's study for a whole day, and in the evening he went to find Yu Ze. Not long after he left, Gu Sen came back.
"Where's the third brother?"
Madam Gu said, "He just left. He said he would not be back for dinner tonight. The son is grown up and no one can stop him. You can't keep him. What do you want to see him for?"
Gu Sen said meaningfully: "I want to give him a community, I wonder if he dares to accept it."
Mrs. Gu clapped her hands happily, "He took it!"
The author has something to say: Stepmother: "Son, your elder brother gave you a lot of houses, take them quickly! They are all money!"
Gu Ye: "…Thank you, mom. You are so kind."
