673: Pay wages, monks enter the city

Ning family.

Affiliated shops.

When it was closing time, the Ning family's shops and restaurants would, as usual, pay the wages to each of the working staff.

"Xiao Houzi, you did well this month, I'll give you an extra eighty cash," the Shopkeeper said, patting the scrawny Man in front of him who was as thin as A monkey.

"Aye, thank you, Shopkeeper, you will surely make a fortune in the future!" Xiao Houzi smiled, his face like A daisy, then stretched out his hands, waiting for the Shopkeeper to give him the money.

"Why are you reaching out? I've already sent the money to your Mobile Money House, go and check there, your wages are all there."

The Shopkeeper reminded him.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he said to the others, "Also, I have something to announce to everyone today."

"Master Ning has already developed the Mobile Money House, and from now on, we will deposit your wages into your accounts."

"If you need to withdraw money at any time, just take your telephone to the Ning Family Money House."

"No cash?" The surrounding staff and cooks looked at each other in dismay.

"Shopkeeper, where is the logic in not giving cash? Our wages, suddenly we can't see or touch them, this... what kind of thing is this?"

The people below started discussing, somewhat unable to accept it.

"What can't be seen or touched?" The Shopkeeper's tone deepened, his hands behind his back, "Haven't I already said? The money has all been sent to your Mobile Money House, look and see if it says how much money is there? If you really need to use it, just go to the Ning Family Money House to withdraw the money, isn't that fine?"

"Do you want me to carry A big bag, holding that heavy money to give to you, isn't that troublesome?"

The Mobile Money House has already been launched.

Ning Jiushan asked Ning Buxiu, and after learning about the specific functions, he was greatly shocked and also directly issued an order, requiring all of the Ning family's own shops to use the Mobile Money House!

Therefore, the current situation came about.

"Shopkeeper, can I not have the money in the Mobile Money House? I want to hold the cash." Xiao Houzi proposed his idea with A somewhat ingratiating smile.

"Xiao Houzi, you don't recognize the money in our Ning family's Mobile Money House?" The Shopkeeper's expression darkened.

"No, no, no... Who wouldn't say that the Ning family's things are good after using them? Shopkeeper, please don't say that." Xiao Houzi quickly defended himself, "It's just that my mother is waiting for me to buy medicine to take back to her, if I get cash, I can go directly to the pharmacy to get the medicine, right?"

"The Ning family's herbal medicine shop also supports Mobile Money House payment now." The Shopkeeper frowned.

Seeing that Xiao Houzi still had A look of wanting to speak but hesitating.

The Shopkeeper also understood that this waiter still felt uneasy without the money in his hand.

"Alright then, go to the accounts office to get the cash, but the eighty cash prize will be gone." The Shopkeeper did not insist.

"Aye, thank you, Shopkeeper!" Xiao Houzi had A happy expression.

It's fine if the prize money is gone, anyway, he got the money in his hand, what could be more reassuring than this?

As for what the Shopkeeper said about using the Mobile Money House to exchange money at the Ning Family Money House, Xiao Houzi was completely disbelieving.

A string of numbers on the Mobile Money House could exchange for money?

What if he could adjust the numbers in his telephone to ten thousand taels? Could he really exchange that much?

Only when two taels of silver pieces fell into his hand did Xiao Houzi feel at ease.

It was night.

Xiao Houzi and A working brother walked towards their dwelling.

"You, you didn't even fight for it yourself, now look? The Shopkeeper just used A string of numbers as your wages."

"If you were like me, daring to speak up! Then... wouldn't you be like me, holding two taels of silver and spending it however you want!"

Xiao Houzi looked at the guy next to him, who was about the same height as him and had A troubled expression, and mocked him without hiding it.

"Didn't the Shopkeeper say that we can withdraw the money in our telephones as long as we go to the Ning Family Money House?" The mocked Man argued, somewhat unable to bear it.

His words, however, drew A louder laugh from Xiao Houzi: "How can you be so foolish? The Shopkeeper says it can be exchanged for money, and it can be exchanged? This is last month's wages, if you don't have it in your hand, it's equivalent to being gone!"

"You don't even understand this, you, you, you have A lot to learn."

Xiao Houzi tossed the silver pieces in his hand, his dizzy expression could be described as happy.

However, his cheerful appearance didn't last long before it was interrupted by A figure walking out from the street corner ahead.

This was A bald Monk with A string of black prayer beads around his neck, wearing A kasaya, holding A Zen staff, with prayer beads in his fingers and A golden alms bowl in his hand.

"Monk? There are no temples around Five Directions City, where did this Monk come from?" Xiao Houzi asked the fellow worker next to him in A low voice.

"I don't know." The Man next to him shook his head.

"amitabha, two Benefactors, the old Monk has come to this city all the way from the East, and seeing the monstrous demonic energy in this city, he wants to save the people."

"However, I have no travel expenses left, and an ordained person cannot steal or rob and break the precepts, I wonder if the two Benefactors could give A little, will Buddha remember the two of you?"

After the old Monk finished speaking, he put his hands together and said A Buddha's name.

Originally, Xiao Houzi and the person next to him listened with some respect.

However, things like the monstrous demonic energy in Five Directions City made them somewhat scoff.

When the Monk finally mentioned needing money, it made both of them lose their good expressions.

"Want money? I don't believe in Buddha, why should I give you money?" Xiao Houzi pulled the fellow worker next to him and walked past impatiently.

"amitabha, then thank you, Benefactors, for your charity." The old Monk said slowly and politely.

As he spoke, A flash of black light exploded in his eyes!

"What thank you for your charity? I didn't agree to give you money?!" Xiao Houzi frowned tightly.

However, after saying this sentence, his expression became somewhat dull and stiff.

Like A puppet manipulated by threads, in A wooden manner, he took out the two taels of silver he had just warmed up and threw them into the golden alms bowl in the Monk's hand!

The fellow worker behind him saw this scene and clearly felt that something was wrong, so scared that he didn't dare to move.

"amitabha, the two Benefactors should rest more recently, if you encounter strange things, you can also run faster."

After the Monk left this last sentence, the person behind Xiao Houzi immediately dragged Xiao Houzi away quickly.

Quietly watching the two leave, the old Monk pondered for A moment, then looked at the prayer beads in his hand.

"Because you have many eyes, I told you to go and investigate the whereabouts of that demon, why haven't you returned yet?" The old Monk muttered to himself with A slight frown, and strands of cold black energy emanated from the prayer beads in his hand.

However, the evil demon residing within did not return.
