402 I’ll Give It to You For Free

Jiang Danhe’s expression was extremely ugly. He knew that Sloppy wasn’t exactly crazy. In fact, he seemed quite normal.

So he glared at him fiercely, warning him to stop.

Sloppy’s hand paused for a moment. Then, he quickly put on his pants and secured his belt tightly. In his nervousness, he even tied it into a dead knot.

Jiang Danhe frowned. He thought that the man seemed normal, but sometimes he didn’t behave normally at all.

The scruffy man put on his pants and walked towards the two of them. Suddenly, he slapped his own thigh.

Xiaoguo was startled by his actions. Before she could figure out what he was doing, he ran away.

The two of them looked at each other and followed the man.

As they followed him back to his room, they saw him take out a half chicken leg from beside the wine pot using his hands which were still unwashed after his visit to the toilet. He smiled at the two of them and started eating.

Xiaoguo took a step back in disgust. That was so unhygienic.

But then again, he probably didn’t care. It would be strange if he washed his hands before eating.

The two of them didn’t interrupt him. They watched him eat and drink until he burped.

Xiaoguo couldn’t help but hold on to Jiang Danhe’s sleeve. The man had eaten his fill, but the two of them were still hungry.

Jiang Danhe reached out and patted the back of her hand. He gave her a look, indicating that he would bring her for a meal later.

Xiaoguo smiled and nodded silently.

“I’ll go too!”

The sloppy man licked his fingers and sized up the two of them, before blurting out those words with no rhyme or reason.

“Why are you going?”

Xiaoguo looked at him in confusion. She didn’t know if he was really crazy or just faking it.

“Burp. Go for lunch!”

Sloppy burped and replied to her.

“You’re already burping. Why do you still need to eat?”

Xiaoguo wasn’t intending to bring him along. It was ridiculous. His appetite was like a bottomless pit—he had already eaten two roasted chickens, and yet he still wants to eat.

“Then buy me dinner.”

Good lord, what a bold statement. Xiaoguo was getting ready to slap him.

“Say that again.”

Xiaoguo held back her temper and asked again. She was giving him a chance by doing that. If he shut up and didn’t ask again, she would consider letting him off.

“Buy me dinner.”

Mustering up his courage, Sloppy repeated his statement. Afraid that Xiaoguo wouldn’t understand, he repeated himself again. When she didn’t say anything, he repeated his words another time.

Just like that, he repeated himself over and over again.

Just as Xiaoguo was about to pounce on him, Sloppy finally thought it through and said, “Don’t you want to buy this place?”

For some reason, the man suddenly seemed enlightened, and he spoke right to the point.

Xiaoguo’s raised hand stopped in midair. Damn it, she really felt like…

Jiang Danhe kindly helped her to put her hand down.

Sloppy seemed to have found her weakness. He put away his timid look and sat on the blackish bed with an air about him.

“Have a seat. Let’s have a good chat.”

As he spoke, he generously made way for the two of them.

Xiaoguo looked at the bed, which looked like it was covered in filth. She smiled and shook her head. “No, we’ll just stand.”

Jiang Danhe almost suffered from internal injuries when he saw her expression. She was really too cute.

“Fine.”

Xiaoguo’s words seemed to align with Sloppy’s intentions. Coincidentally, he didn’t want anyone to sit on his bed. This was simply perfect.

After Xiaoguo finished speaking, Sloppy spread himself across the entire bed as quickly as possible. He got straight to the point immediately, fearing that Xiaoguo would go back on her word.

“Are you guys planning to buy my house?”

“This is your house? Where is the evidence?”

Xiaoguo couldn’t believe that this was his property. If he really was the owner of the house, he wouldn’t be in such dire straits.

“… There’s no evidence. This house is mine!”

The sloppy man thought about the evidence and suddenly realized that there was none. This house was his. There was no need for any evidence.

“I’ve been pooping over there for many years. If you don’t believe me, go and take a look yourself.”

Xiaoguo’s scalp went numb. The image involuntarily popped into her mind, and she instantly felt nauseous.

“…”

Seeing that she wasn’t saying anything, Shabby thought that she didn’t believe him, so he got up with the intention of showing her the poop.

“When did you start living here?”

Xiaoguo was really afraid. She didn’t want to go over.

Sloppy sat back down. He felt that it was better to sit than stand. Hearing her question, he thought for a moment and said, “I forgot.”

“…”

Xiaoguo couldn’t take it anymore. She stood up abruptly and looked at Jiang Danhe. “Let’s go.”

Jiang Danhe nodded and the two of them started walking out.

“Sigh, my poop isn’t over there. You’re going the wrong way.”

Sloppy saw them trying to leave, so he got up and walked out too. When he saw them walking in the wrong direction, he became anxious.

“Are you guys leaving? Don’t go, don’t go! You’re not allowed to leave!!”

Sloppy suddenly rushed in front of them and slammed the door. With bloodshot eyes and heaving chest, his raspy breathing could be heard from five meters away.

Jiang Danhe immediately dragged Xiaoguo behind him and shielded her with his body.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked in hostility at the man who was blocking the door. He instinctively reached for his waist.

Xiaoguo saw what he was doing and knew that he had a sharp dagger at his waist. Anyone who came into contact with it would either die or bleed to death.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Xiaoguo quickly placed her hand on his and comforted him gently.

Jiang Danhe only calmed down after being comforted by Xiaoguo. However, this was only limited to him not drawing out his dagger.

He said coldly to the man, “What do you want?”

The sloppy man’s legs were feeling weak. He looked at Jiang Danhe warily. When he was sure that the man would not kill him, he quickly said, “Hold on! Hold on!”

With that, under their puzzled gazes, he hit himself on his head repeatedly while muttering, “Hurry up and remember!”

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

Xiaoguo walked out from behind Jiang Danhe and wanted to reach out to stop the scruffy man. Unexpectedly, Scruffy suddenly seemed to have become a different person, appearing all composed and polite.

“Hello, my name is Shu Botong. I’ll be thirty years old in two years.”

“…”

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe looked at him in disbelief.

Was this person playing them?

He must be playing them!

“Move!”

Xiaoguo didn’t want to stay any longer. Although the two-storey house was good, she felt that something was wrong with this person. She could just look for another house.

“Madam, Madam, let me explain. I’ve suffered a serious head injury in the past, and it often acts up. I am not lucid at most times. Please forgive me if I have offended you just now.”

Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe listened to his story with suspicion.

Sloppy’s original name was Shu Botong. He was from Yonghai County and came from a well-to-do family. At the age of 20, he got married and enjoyed a good life.

Unfortunately, after the reversal of his family’s fortune, his parents passed away and his wife abandoned him. Afraid of being implicated, his uncle and aunt moved out of the house one night and ran away. Botong spent his days getting drunk. One fateful night, he was kicked in the head by a horse that was tied to a post by the road. He had his head buried in horse dung for the entire night.

He thought that he was going to die. But unexpectedly, there was still a trace of breath left in him when he was discovered.

The owner of the horse sent him to a medical center as his way of apology. He also left him some money before leaving him there.

Due to the severe trauma, and lack of oxygen for the entire night, Shu Botong became mentally ill. He fluctuated between states of clear-headedness and confusion. He would often speak incoherently with scattered thoughts in his mind. During an attack, he would become stuck in a half-crazy state. He was hardly clear-headed, but there were still times when he was.

After hearing his description, pity instantly rose in Xiaoguo’s heart.

If he was telling the truth, then he is just too pitiful. He was living a glorious life, but everything changed overnight just because of an accident. Just thinking about it was hard to bear.

Jiang Danhe seemed to have calmed down. Although he sympathized with the man, it was difficult to tell if he was telling the truth. It was better to get to the bottom of things.

“This place is my last possession. There’s a title deed, but it’s not with me. I was afraid of misplacing it, so I had entrusted the government office to keep it for me when I was still sober. If you want this place, I can give it to you for free. However, I have a condition. If you agree to it, this place will be yours.”
