One day, the red flame will ignite the entire earth!

…

Liberty Island, Chinatown.

It is the Chinese New Year, and the Zhonghua downstairs is extremely lively at this time.

The new shopkeeper of Zhonghua Building is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He cannot be said to be handsome in appearance, but he has a tall and straight body and has the aura of a dragon and a tiger in his movements. At first glance, he is a practicing master. He is far away in a foreign country and has no one.

With no one to rely on, only this ability is the foundation to stand on.

Taking advantage of today's joy, he personally performed a lion dance to add to the fun. With vigorous steps and cheerful drumbeats, he danced the lion's head so vigorously that it became extremely dynamic, attracting cheers from everyone.

Most of the people here are Chinese, so being able to see such an authentic lion dance can make up for a lot of the homesickness.

Most of them came from coastal areas. In order to escape the war in their hometown, they boarded boats one after another and crossed the vast sea before arriving here.

This journey of evacuation at sea has not been smooth sailing. Countless people were mercilessly thrown into the sea due to contracting the disease, or were sold to do hard labor in black mining factories as soon as they landed, and have lost all freedom since then. Most of those who are still standing here are

Lucky person.

It is not easy for everyone to get together. What we cherish most is this hard-won life.

In the blink of an eye, the drum beat became faster and faster, and the onlookers immediately knew that the highlight was about to come!

"May you be happy and prosperous!"

"good luck!"

The two waiters walked out of Zhonghua Building in response, saying auspicious words.

One of them is holding a big cabbage, which symbolizes wealth; the other is filled with red envelopes, called red envelopes. Obviously, both of them are for good luck.

As he spoke, the waiter threw the cabbage in his hand into the air and shouted loudly: "Scatter a hundred wealth!"

This was a signal that had been arranged a long time ago. After hearing the sound, the shopkeeper of Zhonghua Tower immediately bent his legs and exerted force, and his whole body instantly jumped into the air.

Then the lion opened his mouth wide and took the cabbage into his mouth.

Click! Click!

There was a faint sound, and pieces of cabbage in the lion's mouth fell like rain.

"Haha, I'll take the money!"

Everyone laughed and let the little vegetables spill all over them.

The two waiters looked at each other and smiled, then distributed the red envelopes in their hands to everyone around them one by one, still shouting "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

"Haha, thank you very much, and congratulations on getting rich!"

Regardless of whether those who received the red envelope or those who did not receive the red envelope, they all smiled and congratulated each other, and the joyful atmosphere reached its peak.

At this moment, a group of tall, blond and blue-eyed uninvited guests "surrounded" a man with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes, and came over in a mighty manner.

Like a plague, the people around him were so frightened that they moved out of the way, and the celebrating music stopped.

"Hehe, it's quite lively!"

"Since you have money to give out red envelopes to everyone, you should also pay the protection fees here!"

The man had a disdainful smile on his face, completely ignoring the current atmosphere, and said "debt collection".

"Qian, you are such a good dog!"

"It doesn't stop even during the Chinese New Year. I have to bark twice!"

The shopkeeper took off the lion's head and glared at him. This man named Qian was too mean and had already become a lackey of the Westerners.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if I'm a dog, I just bite you cheap bones!"

"Although there isn't much meat, it tastes good, tsk tsk!"

The man surnamed Qian retorted while chewing his teeth. He had no sense of shame at all. His gesture made the shopkeeper's teeth itch with anger.

"Shopkeeper Yuan, I'd better call you Shopkeeper Yuan!"

"Although you look down on me, my life is much more comfortable than yours!"

"I advise you to be obedient and not to have any twisted thoughts. After all, the territory here belongs to the foreigners behind me. We cannot afford to offend!"

He shook his head as he spoke, as if everything was for everyone's benefit.

Foreigners don't understand Chinese, but they can still understand the confrontation between the two.

Fortunately, they had this obedient "pet" who bit them like crazy and saved them a lot of energy.

"You're such a money man, how dare you treat your compatriots like this?"

"Have you forgotten how you survived on the boat?"

Not understanding what he was doing, a young man stood up and criticized loudly. He seemed to know Qian Tong's past. Judging from his appearance, he was somewhat similar to Yu Daoxian.

"You and I……"

"It's none of your business. When adults speak, children don't interrupt!"

Qian Tong panicked for a moment, but reality did not allow him to retreat, so he immediately reprimanded him.

"Huh! I'm not a child. In a few months, I will be an adult!"

The young man was very indifferent to his words. Although he defended himself, he obviously missed the point.

"Oh! He is indeed a child!"

No matter it was Qian Tong, Shopkeeper Yuan, or everyone around him, they were all defeated by his naivety.

"Aqi, you have nothing to do here, go back quickly!"

When Shopkeeper Yuan saw this, he also roared.

Judging from his name, there is no doubt that he is the grandson of Yu Daoxian.

"Master, why is this none of my business? If everyone is in trouble, it's my business!"

The young man looked aggrieved, and in his heart he complained that Shopkeeper Yuan was unreasonable.

"I haven't agreed to be your master yet! If you really take me seriously, be obedient and leave immediately!"

Yu Zhiqi's identity is somewhat special. Shopkeeper Yuan did not dare to accept this "disciple" easily. He still prioritized safety.

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about!"

While the two were secretly arguing, the foreigners were impatient.

They raised their muskets, "bangbangbang" and fired several shots into the sky.

Wow!

Everyone around him suddenly fell into panic and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Shopkeeper Yuan saw that something was not going well and immediately protected Yu Zhiqi.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing their embarrassed appearance, the foreigners burst into laughter.

The so-called monks who can escape cannot escape from the temple. Even if they scare away these Chinese, their "home" is here and they will definitely come back. Toying with everyone in this way completely satisfies their aloof mentality.

Suddenly hearing the gunshot, Qian Tong's mouth twitched, but he did not turn around, but quickly gave Yu Zhiqi a wink.

Unfortunately, his good intentions came to nothing.

Everyone in front of me had fled, except for shopkeeper Yuan and Yu Zhiqi.

There was no way, Zhonghua Tower was right behind them and they couldn't hide.

The foreigners turned their guns and aimed at the two of them.

"Sir, if you have something to say, say it well. If you have something to say, say it well!"

Seeing that Yu Zhiqi was in danger, Qian Tong's expression changed, and he immediately put on a smile and knelt down to the foreigners.

"goaway!"

But the foreigner did not accept this trick and kicked him away.

Dozens of guns in the dark hole were pointed at him, and the crisis of death came. Yu Zhiqi's face turned pale and the hairs on his body stood up.

As if sensing his panic, Shopkeeper Yuan hurriedly opened his body and protected him tightly.
