As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 50 Is it possible that the unlucky person is just unlucky?
"Last time I kindly gave it some food, and then I started having nightmares every now and then."

"I advise you to stay away from it."

Wang Dafu had no idea that this black cat was so weird.

A few days ago, I saw it squatting at the door and meowed twice.

The little black cat is very cute. Its fur is translucent and not as dirty as that of a wild cat. It also has two different-colored eyes, one yellow and one blue, which are dazzling.

He thought the creature was hungry, so he gave it a small fish he had just purchased.

However, the moment I looked into its heterochromatic eyes.

He only felt his whole body tremble violently, and those eyes seemed to see through his body and into his heart.

Ever since that memorable eye contact, Wang Dafu has been encountering strange things.

He often has the same nightmare.

The feeling was too real, too strong.

The scene happened on the street in front of the tavern. For some unknown reason, he was stepped on and stabbed to death, with blood flowing all over the ground.

Lying dead on the street, as his consciousness was about to fade away, he tilted his head, and the last thing he saw was a dark figure.

The kitten was still sitting gracefully on the ground, wagging its tail and looking at him quietly.

His strange, heterochromatic eyes reflected his desperate face.

Waking up in the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, gasped for breath, and covered the place where he was stabbed, still in fear.

Too real, too intense.

He seemed to be able to feel the cold tip of the knife piercing his flesh.

I had this dream more than once.

It's not just dreams. Sometimes when you are in a trance, you will have such fantasies.

Only then did he come to his senses and realize that he was possessed by an evil spirit.

And the culprit of all this must be this strange black cat.

It comes here every once in a while, doing nothing and not asking for food.

Just find a place to sit quietly, looking at the tavern and the people in the tavern.

But it is so agile and sensitive that you can neither drive it away nor catch it.

Some customers said that black cats themselves represent bad luck and that he was infected with disaster.

It even affected his business.

This is also the reason why he agreed so readily when Mingchen asked him to buy a restaurant.

In fact, he also wanted to leave.

It’s not easy to survive in the capital. There are too many people you can’t afford to offend.

The dynasty was in turmoil, and no one knew when the enemy would descend upon the city.

Besides, now that I have encountered such a thing, I might as well go back to my hometown and become a rich man.

"This thing is too weird!"

"You'd better throw it away!"

"It would be bad if it got entangled with something unclean."

Mingchen has no grudge against me, and it seems that he has a noble background.

It would be bad if this black cat caused a disaster in the future and then blamed me for it.

He spoke to Mingchen quite earnestly.

"That's it."

Mingchen agreed, but didn't seem to have any intention of letting the black cat go.

While petting the cat, he said to Wang Dafu, "Boss, have you ever thought of another possibility?"

"Perhaps the unlucky person is already unlucky, and the black cat can see that people are unlucky, so it comes to him to remind him."

"But bad luck is inevitable, and people don't like to attribute bad luck to themselves, so they put the blame on the black cat."

Mingchen said with a smile.

The kitten in his arms raised its head and rubbed against him gently, its heterochromatic eyes narrowed, looking so adorable.

Mingchen didn't feed it or give it anything, but they were so close to each other.

Really psychic.

"Um...this..."

Well, this young man is finding different ways to say that he is unlucky.

Wang Dafu choked up and didn't want to say anything more. "Sir, I've already said this. If anything happens to you, just don't blame me."

Mingchen waved his hands and said unconcernedly: "It's okay, I'm lucky!"

……

Mingchen and Wang Dafu completed the handover in one afternoon.

Now this restaurant belongs to Mingchen.

"Alright everyone, from now on, this restaurant will be called... Xiang Man Lou, for example. I'm your new boss."

Mingchen bought the store casually, thought about it, and gave it a random name.

It's pretty standard, but not too unique.

Mingchen didn't do anything stupid, so Fuyao went out to practice her lessons, and the new little black cat took her place.

He stroked the little black cat and said to the guys in front of him, "Do you still want to stay here? If you do, I'll increase your monthly salary by 30% on top of your current salary. If you perform well, you can get an additional bonus. If you don't want to stay, I won't stop you."

"Make a decision."

This doesn't seem to be a difficult decision.

It is actually very difficult to find a job in this capital city.

What's more, the salary has increased.

The guys looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then said to Mingchen, "Boss, we'll follow you."

"Yeah~"

"Have you all thought about it?"

Mingchen looked at them and said with a smile, "Let's be frank. If you all work hard, I will give you what you deserve. But if you have any ulterior motives, don't blame me for being ruthless."

This person was clearly smiling, but for some reason, he made people feel a chill.

At first, several of the guys thought that the new shopkeeper was a young man who was easy to talk to and easy to fool, but now it seems that is not the case.

In fact, he is even more elusive than the old shopkeeper.

"Yes!"xn
"For the next three days, I'll give you some training. Let's grow bigger and stronger and create even greater glory!"

"Training?"

“To become bigger and stronger, to create greater glory?”

……

night,
"Master, do we have to be so anxious?"

The carriage sped away, and the middle-aged woman leaned against her husband and said helplessly.

The restaurant is doing well. Although the business is average, at least there is no worry about food and drink.

Why are you leaving so suddenly?

"Go home quickly and be at ease."

I have been galloping for two days and two nights and am almost home.

Wang Dafu patted his wife's shoulder gently and said in a deep voice.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy and remembered the strange dream he had a few days ago.

"Perhaps the unlucky person is already unlucky, and the black cat can see that the person is unlucky, so it comes to him to remind him."

The words that the mysterious and special young man said to him inexplicably echoed in his ears.

Suddenly, his heartbeat seemed to speed up, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Stop, stop!"

The carriage passed a corner in the mountain road and saw flickering lights in the distance.

There were bursts of commotion coming from the front.

He opened the curtain of the carriage, waved his sword in a captivating manner, and a rough face holding a torch came into view.

Daytime is when humans walk the earth, while nighttime belongs to the devil.

Wang Dafu trembled violently.

He seemed to have overlooked something.

The current situation is turbulent and he feels that the capital is not safe enough.

Could it be... could it be better outside the capital?

There is no pure land in troubled times.
