Chapter 80: Smoke billows

After the customer finished speaking, he walked around Boss Ma and left his paper shop.

"Bah, you're ignorant." Boss Ma spat at the guest's back.

Boss Ma returned to the shop angrily. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He did not believe that the rice paper from Youlian Paper Shop was better than his.

"Go to Youlian Paper Shop and buy some rice paper."

Boss Ma stingily took out a few copper coins and gave them to the clerk.

"Yes." The boy ran out with the coins in his pocket, and came back after a while with a few pieces of rice paper.

Boss Ma took a handful of rice paper and touched it. He was shocked when he touched it.

I didn't expect that the woman named Gu was quite capable. This rice paper was indeed better than the one in his shop.

Thinking like this, Boss Ma's face became a little gloomy: "No, I have to ask her to reason."

Boss Ma tore up the rice paper in his hand and walked out of the shop angrily.

Breathing heavily and covered in sweat, Boss Ma walked to the door of Youlian Paper Shop. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by two tall men.

Boss Ma angrily scolded: "Who are you? How dare you block my way?"

The tall and muscular man said coldly: "We are from the escort agency and are responsible for protecting the safety of the paper shop. You are not welcome to come."

"People from the escort agency?" Boss Ma's eyes widened: "You have joined forces with the woman named Gu?"

"Speak politely. Boss Gu's name is not allowed to be used casually." The escort said displeasedly, exuding a cold aura.

Boss Ma was so frightened by his momentum that all the flesh on his body trembled.

He pointed at the escort with a trembling finger, and shouted angrily: "You... just wait for me, be careful I find someone to take care of you."

The expressions of the escorts did not change. They looked at Boss Ma with a sullen face, unmoved by his threats.

Boss Ma stared for a while, snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and walked away.

Gu Xiaoyou vaguely heard the noise, walked out of the shop, and asked curiously: "Did anyone come just now?"

Why did she seem to hear that ridiculous wait-and-see phrase again?

The escort smiled and said: "A fly came, and we have chased it away."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded: "Oh, thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome. It's our honor to protect you." The escort said with a smile on his face.

"You're so sweet. I'll treat you to roast chicken and sorghum wine tonight."

Gu Xiaoyou cheerfully raised his thumbs up and returned to the store.

The day passed by in a hurry. In the evening, Gu Xiaoyou invited the people from the escort agency to dinner. He became more interested and drank some sorghum wine.

When she got home, she felt a little dizzy.

"The wine in ancient times was pure, unlike modern times where it is mixed with water."

Gu Xiaoyou sighed drowsily, braced himself, washed his face, and fell asleep on the bed without even having time to take off his clothes.

Gu Xiaoyou slept soundly and had sweet dreams.

She dreamed that she traveled back to modern times, took all her gold and silver treasures, and went to the bank to exchange for a large sum of money.

With a large sum of money, she bought a villa for her parents and took a plane to Hawaii for vacation.

She was walking on the beach wearing a bikini, piled sand and picked up shells, and had a great time.

For some reason, the sunshine in Hawaii seems to be extremely hot. Not only does it make people feel hot all over, but it also seems to be so hot that it cooks them.

"It's so hot..." Gu Xiaoyou pulled her collar uncomfortably and continued her dream.

In the dream, she was lying on the beach basking in the sun, and her whole body was about to be baked by the Hawaiian sun.

Suddenly, white smoke rose from the ground. Gu Xiaoyou looked down and saw that her feet were roasted red, like pig's trotters. They were not only hot but also emitting bursts of white smoke.

"My feet!" Gu Xiaoyou screamed, waking up from his dream.

She opened her eyes and suddenly found thick white smoke coming from the room, just like what she had seen in her dream.

"Am I still awake?" Gu Xiaoyou reached out and patted his head. His brain was still a little unclear due to the residue of alcohol.

But the smoke in the room became thicker and thicker, and Gu Xiaoyou was choked and coughed.

After pinching his thigh, Gu Xiaoyou cried out in pain: "It hurts so much."

"It turns out I wasn't dreaming...ahem..." Gu Xiaoyou regained consciousness slightly, but because she had inhaled a lot of smoke in her dream, she had no strength.

Gu Xiaoyou struggled to raise his hand to cover his mouth and nose with the pillow towel, and struggled to get up from the bed, but he still didn't have much strength.

Her head was dizzy and she accidentally fell from the bed to the ground.

"Ouch...it hurts so much."

Thanks to this fall, Gu Xiaoyou's drunkenness completely dissipated, and he struggled to raise his arms to get up from the ground.

As soon as she exerted force, her arm went limp, and Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, how much smoke did I inhale!"

Gu Xiaoyou struggled a few times, but couldn't stand up anymore, so she had to dig her hands on the ground and crawl toward the door.

There was less smoke on the ground, giving Gu Xiaoyou a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoyou's strength was exhausted. She was so smoke-smeared that she burst into tears. She struggled to crawl forward, but her vision became increasingly blurred.

Gu Xiaoyou felt that she had been crawling for a long time, but she had no strength at all.

"Help...help..." Gu Xiaoyou tried to call for help, but unfortunately her throat was hoarse from the smoke and she didn't make any sound at all.

Gu Xiaoyou's strength became weaker and weaker, and the smoke in the room became thicker and thicker. Gu Xiaoyou could vaguely see tongues of fire breathing out.

She no longer had the strength to climb anymore, Gu Xiaoyou thought desperately, it seemed like she was going to die here.

Gu Xiaoyou's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his vision gradually blurred. Many scenes flashed before his eyes, and he raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating tone: "It turns out there really is a revolving door..."

In the screen, many people's faces flashed by, and Gu Xiaoyou bit her lower lip unwillingly: "I can't die."

Gu Xiaoyou's lip was bitten and bled, and she regained consciousness.

She used her last strength and stretched out her hand in the direction of the door, but unfortunately only her arm was stretched out, and her body did not even move.

"I'm really going to die..."

Just when Gu Xiaoyou fell into deep despair, the door to the room was kicked open from the outside, and a strong figure ran in.

"Gu Xiaoyou!" A cold male voice sounded in the room.

Gu Xiaoyou used his last strength to raise his hands and shouted: "I'm here..."

The visitor noticed her immediately, strode towards Gu Xiaoyou, picked her up in his arms without hesitation, and ran out of the room quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, there was a loud noise behind him, and the beam in Gu Xiaoyou's room broke.

Gu Xiaoyou was startled by the voice and trembled subconsciously.

The visitor thought that Gu Xiaoyou was scared, so he tightened his arms holding her and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
