Brother Earthworm and his people crawled away like stray dogs.

“Boss lady, everything’s fine now.” Huang Xiaolong grinned at the boss lady.

The boss lady came back to her senses, but she was still speaking incoherently, “Sir, just now you… just now…”

“Oh? You mean the chopsticks? It’s nothing. It’s just a secret weapon skill called ‘sky filled with flower rain’. It’s very easy,” Huang Xiaolong said while smiling. “I just used a little bit of strength. If I used any more, their knees would have shattered. We country folk are kind-hearted. I didn’t want to paralyze them.”

“Um…” The boss lady did not know how to continue the conversation with Huang Xiaolong. “Sir, who taught you that?”

“They did,” Huang Xiaolong said blankly.

Of course, the boss lady did not notice that Huang Xiaolong did not mean any men, nor women, but instead, he meant the animals.

“Sir, you’re so amazing.” There was adoration in the boss lady’s eyes. At the same time, she was touched.

One should know that the boss lady had always been a cause of misfortune in other people’s eyes. Her parents died when she was young and she had a brother who’s a child from a previous marriage. Anyone who got close to her would have bad luck so everyone avoided her like she was a snake or scorpion.

Huang Xiaolong was the first person to stand up for her. He was also the first one to help and save her.

The boss lady wanted to thank Huang Xiaolong, however, she could not bring herself to say it out loud. Because in her heart, she knew she would never be able to repay him by only saying thank you after what he did for her. 

“Sir, um… You should leave Flower Lake Street and Lychee District. Brother Earthworm is the underling of Brother Tiger. You punished Brother Earthworm, so Brother Tiger would not let you off the hook so easily. Brother Tiger is ruthless, he’s also powerful…”

“What’ll happen to you if I leave?” Huang Xiaolong asked in concern.

“Um…” There was a lump in the boss lady’s throat. Her tears fell out of her eyes like pearls. They rolled across her skin that was as smooth as the snow and reached her dainty chin. Until they met with their partner to combine into a bigger drop, they only dropped off her chin and left an invisible trail in the air, which eventually landed on the floor and turned into splattered drops.

Huang Xiaolong’s words touched the softest part of her heart.

This was the first time ever that she knew what it was like to be protected by a man.

“Finally… Finally, someone’s concerned about me… and worried about me…E-Even if I die now, it would be worth it.” The way the boss lady looked at Huang Xiaolong was filled with so much tenderness.

“You don’t have to be scared. Don’t worry, boss lady.” Huang Xiaolong smiled nonchalantly. Then, he took out his phone. “Boss lady, you should add my WeChat. If they come looking for trouble again, you can call me on WeChat. I just live around here. You can also visit me.”

The boss lady wiped away her tears and took out her phone from the drawer. She exchanged numbers with Huang Xiaolong and added each other on WeChat.

“Huang Xiaolong. Your name is Huang Xiaolong.” The boss lady repeated his name a few times to remember it in her heart.

The boss lady’s name was Su Xiaoman. It was a nice name.

“I’ll just call you Sis Xiaoman.” Huang Xiaolong put back his phone.

“Okay.” Su Xiaoman nodded.

“Sis Xiaoman, I’m a bit tired. I’m going to go and sleep.” Huang Xiaolong yawned. “Right, let me give you something.”

Before leaving, Huang Xiaolong took out a wrinkly yellow fuzhuan from his canvas bag.

He folded the fuzhuan into a dainty crane and handed it to Su Xiaoman. “Sis Xiaoman, take this. Remember, from this day on, you should keep this with you and keep it well.”

“Okay.” Su Xiaoman took the crane and held it with both hands like a treasure. She muttered, “Thank you, Xiaolong. This is the most precious and happiest gift that I’ve ever received in my entire life. I-I’ll keep this with me forever.”

“That’s good.” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “Sis Xiaoman, you don’t have to be afraid of those bad people. This fuzhuan has been folded into a crane. If you keep it on you, they won’t be able to touch you nor hurt you. I’m going home to sleep. The sky gets really dark in the countryside, so I’m usually asleep at this time.”

After he said that, Huang Xiaolong turned around to leave. Just as he was crossing the exit, Su Xiaoman spoke behind him, “Xiaolong, you said I’ll meet a noble person today. That person is you, right?”

“Um, Sis Xiaoman, the noble person in your life is your future husband.” Huang Xiaolong answered ambiguously. Then, he walked into the brightly lit and noisy Flower Lake Street.

“I know it. It m-must be you!” Su Xiaoman held the crane tightly. She was already in a daze.

Huang Xiaolong walked quickly on the street. His uncle’s house was along this street somewhere and it was near to Su Xiaoman’s fast food restaurant.

He found the building his uncle’s house was in and walked upstairs.

He took out the key before opening the door.

He opened the door and found the light switch next to the door. He switched on the lights.

Then, Huang Xiaolong was stunned.

This was an empty house.

Which meant that there was nothing in his uncle’s house.

Why was it empty?

Electrical appliances, furniture, decorations… Nothing!

A skinny rat was standing at one of the corners. It looked at Huang Xiaolong with teary eyes and then ran away with its last bit of energy.

“My gosh, no way? Did burglar break into uncle’s house?” Huang Xiaolong walked into the house and closed the door.

He looked around and really, it was completely empty.

This was a house with one living room, one bedroom, one kitchen, and one bathroom. Not only was the living room empty, but the bedroom and kitchen were also empty. 

There was no bed in the bedroom. There were no plates in the kitchen. So, naturally, there would not be tissues in the bathroom either.

“Uncle, you’re such a big bully.” Huang Xiaolong was cursing repeatedly in his heart.

“I can’t live like this… Never mind, I should go get a job tomorrow. At least I can buy some furniture and electrical appliances for myself, right? I need at least a bed and a bowl for rice, right?” Huang Xiaolong calculated with his fingers. “Um… I might need about ten thousand bucks! Uncle! You’re so mean!”

Huang Xiaolong complained for a while and then went inside the bedroom. He took out a pristine string that looked like it was made from natural silk.

Then, he took out two yellow fuzhuans and stuck them on both sides of the wall. The fuzhuans secured the string. It was one meter off the ground and it looked like a basic hammock.

“Sigh, I should just make do with this.” Huang Xiaolong sighed and flopped onto the string. After that, he fell asleep.

The next day. Early in the morning.

Huang Xiaolong did not bother to eat. He immediately went to a certain part of Flower Lake Street.

This part of the street was peculiar. There were no restaurants, massage parlors, nor beverage shops. There were shops selling burial clothes and shops selling items for funerals.

There were some blind or crippled old men and women sitting on the side of the road telling fortunes or reading birthdate characters used in fortune-telling.

Some stalls even displayed Buddhist prayer beads, rosaries, fuzhuan, instruments used in Buddhist or Taoist services, scriptures, and so on.

Right, this part of the street was filled with quacks.

After a thorough inspection, Huang Xiaolong confirmed that all of the quacks were scammers. Their so-called instruments were all fake.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong did not care about them. He only hoped that he could find something to do.

Huang Xiaolong found an unremarkable spot and calmly sat down. He placed a piece of paper next to his legs. The paper said,

“I know everything. One-stop service.”
