Chapter 50 : Is It Possible That Unlucky People Are Just Unlucky
"The last time I was kind enough to give it something to eat, I ended up having nightmares every few days."
"This humble one advises you, stay away from it."
Wang Dafu originally didn't know this black cat was so malevolent.
A few days ago, he saw it squatting at the entrance, meowing a couple of times.
The little black cat was very cute, its fur glossy and not dirty and messy like a stray's. It also had a pair of heterochromatic eyes, one yellow and one blue, dazzlingly bright.

He thought it was hungry and casually gave it a small fish he had bought for stock.
However, the moment he met its heterochromatic eyes, he felt a sudden shiver run through his body. Those eyes seemed to see through his body, right into his heart.

After that memorable eye contact, Wang Dafu encountered a malevolent affair.
He would often have the same nightmare.
The feeling was too real, too intense.
The scene was on the street in front of the tavern. For some unknown reason, he was trampled underfoot and stabbed to death, his blood flowing all over the ground.

Dying violently on the street, just as his consciousness was about to fade, he tilted his head, and the last thing that met his eyes was a pitch-black figure.
The little cat was still sitting elegantly on the ground, wagging its tail, quietly watching him.
Its strange, heterochromatic eyes reflected his desperate face.
Waking up with a start in the middle of the night, he would stare wide-eyed, gasping for breath, clutching the spot where he was stabbed, his heart still pounding with fear.

It was too real, too intense.
He felt as if he could feel the cold tip of the blade piercing his flesh.

He had this dream more than once.
It wasn't even just dreams; sometimes, when his mind wandered, he would have such visions.
He finally realized that he had been cursed.
And the culprit of it all must be this strange black cat.
It would come here every so often, do nothing, and not beg for food.
It would just quietly find a place to sit, watching the tavern, watching the people in the tavern.

But it was agile and had keen senses. He couldn't drive it away, nor could he catch it.
Some customers said that black cats themselves represent misfortune, and that he had been afflicted by a disaster.
It had even dragged down his business.
This was also the reason why he had agreed so readily when Ming Chen came to buy the tavern from him.
In fact, he had also been wanting to leave.
The capital wasn't that easy to get by in either; there were too many people he couldn't afford to offend.

The dynasty's situation was turbulent, and he didn't know which day the enemy army might arrive at the city gates.
Coupled with this incident, it was better to hurry back to his hometown and be a wealthy man.

"This thing is too malevolent!"
"You should throw it away quickly!"
"It would be bad if you get entangled with some unclean thing."
Ming Chen had no grudge against him and seemed to have a significant background.

It would be bad if he got into trouble in the future because of this black cat and then blamed it on him.
He spoke to Ming Chen with great earnestness.
"Is that so?"
Ming Chen acknowledged, but he didn't seem to have any intention of letting the black cat go.

While stroking the cat, he said to Wang Dafu, "Shopkeeper, have you ever considered another possibility?"
"Perhaps it's that unlucky people are just unlucky to begin with. The black cat can see that a person is unlucky, so it comes to him to remind him."

"And since the unlucky event is ultimately unavoidable, people don't like to attribute the misfortune to themselves, so they push the blame of being 'unlucky' onto the black cat."
Ming Chen said with a beaming smile.
The little cat in his arms raised its head and gently rubbed against him, its heterochromatic eyes squinting, looking extremely cute.
Ming Chen hadn't fed it anything, hadn't given it anything, yet it was so affectionate.
Truly psychic.
"Uh... this..."

Well, this young master is just finding another way to say I'm unlucky.
Wang Dafu was at a loss for words and didn't want to say any more.
"My lord, I've said my piece. If you encounter any trouble, just don't blame it on me then."
Ming Chen waved his hand, not taking it to heart. "It's fine, it's fine. I have a tough life!"
...
In the course of an afternoon, Ming Chen and Wang Dafu completed the handover.

Now, this tavern belonged to Ming Chen.
"Alright everyone, from now on, this tavern will be called, uh... let's call it Xiang Man Lou. I am your new boss."

Having bought the shop on a whim, Ming Chen thought for a moment and casually gave it a name.
It was conventional, not particularly unique.
As long as Ming Chen wasn't courting death, Fuyao would go out to practice her lessons. The newly arrived little black cat took her place.
He stroked the little black cat and said to the few waiters before him, "Does everyone still want to stay here? If you want to continue staying, your monthly salary will be increased by thirty percent on top of the original amount. If you perform well, you can get bonuses. If you don't want to stay, I won't stop you."

"Make your decision."
This didn't seem to be a difficult decision to make.
In this capital city, finding a job was actually very difficult.
What's more, he was even raising their wages.

The waiters looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they said to Ming Chen, "Shopkeeper, we'll work for you."
"Is that so~"

"Have you all thought it through?"
Ming Chen sized them up and said with a grin, "Let's get the ugly stuff out of the way first. If you all work hard, I will give you what you deserve. But if you have any crooked ideas, don't blame me for being ruthless."
This person was clearly smiling, but for some reason, it sent a chill down their spines.
At first, the waiters felt that the new shopkeeper was an easy-going and easy-to-fool young man. Now it seemed that was not the case.
He was even more unfathomable than the old shopkeeper.

"For the next three days, I will train you all. Let's make it bigger and stronger, and create new glory!"
"Training?"
"Make it bigger and stronger, and create new glory?"

Night.
"Husband, do we have to be in such a hurry?"

The carriage sped along. The middle-aged woman leaned against her husband and said with some resignation.
The tavern was doing well. Although business was average, at least they didn't have to worry about food and drink.

Why did they suddenly have to leave?
"Let's get home quickly, for peace of mind."
They had been speeding for two days and two nights and were almost at their hometown.
Wang Dafu gently patted his wife's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

For some reason, he felt uneasy and thought of that malevolent dream from a few days ago.
'Perhaps it's that unlucky people are just unlucky to begin with. The black cat can see that a person is unlucky, so it comes to him to remind him.'
The words that mysterious and special young master had said to him echoed inexplicably in his ears.
Suddenly, his heartbeat seemed to accelerate, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Stop, stop!"
The carriage passed a bend in the mountain road, and firelight flickered in the distance.

Sounds of commotion came from ahead.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage. The glint of a large blade was intimidating, and a brutish face holding a torch came into view.
Daytime was the time for people to walk the human world, while the night belonged to demons.
Wang Dafu trembled violently.
He seemed to have overlooked something.
The current situation was turbulent, and he felt that the capital was not safe enough.

But... could it be any better outside the capital?
In a chaotic world, there is no pure land.
