Chapter 11 Hate Joy

clap clap!

"Get out of the way!"

The domestic slave was whipping his whip outside and shouting loudly.

Mr. He was in a good mood while sitting in the carriage.

He had just hunted a big deal in the snow-capped mountains, which made his impression of Chen Xiangyuan better.

In addition, Chen Xiangyuan answered a few questions from Huo's sister, which worked wonders.

So he specifically allowed Chen Xiangyuan to get into the carriage and ride with him.

In the carriage.

Chen Xiangyuan shrank down, enduring the cramped space for movement, racking his brains to tell Mr. He jokes along the way.

Mr. He would say a few words of conciliation from time to time.

The atmosphere is harmonious and everything is moving in the right direction.

Wait for the carriage to enter the mountain city.

The speed dropped sharply.

Mr. He yawned, opened the curtains with some boredom, and only glanced outside twice before his brows furrowed slightly:
  "Chen Xiangyuan, is this the woodcutter you said has no money?"

"what?!"

Chen Xiangyuan, whose name was suddenly called, felt his heart pounding and hurriedly looked out the window.

Suddenly, I saw Chen Lin standing in front of the butcher shop carrying a large bunch of things. The butcher behind him seemed to be chopping meat for him!

hiss!
  'Didn't Dad say the day before yesterday that his family has been emptied out and this man will never make a living? '

'Where does he get the money to buy so many things now? '

'Can you even buy meat? ! '

Chen Xiangyuan hurriedly weighed his arms.

The twelve taels of silver that Mr. He gave to Chen Lin before were still heavy, and he hadn't stolen them back.

And he probably doesn’t know about this.

"Then where did he get the money?"

Not only Chen Xiangyuan was confused, but Mr. He also asked with a smile. His naturally weird appearance was like a sinister vulture, with crooked fangs exposed.

He doesn't care about the money given out, but he doesn't like people talking nonsense.

Chen Xiangyuan first said that this person had no money and lived a difficult life, but then he let himself see this person buying this and that in the market...

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned cold.

"This this……"

"To be honest, I heard my father say this once!"

"There is a secret gambling house in our village. Villagers will gamble there all day long when they have nothing to do in winter. This woodcutter is also a gambler. He must have just made money from gambling.

I remember that this man's father, Chen Bazhi, was also addicted to gambling, and had two fingers chopped off because of gambling debts. Many people in the mountain city knew that his family were all gamblers, and few people interacted with them... …”

Chen Xiangyuan became wise in his desperation and said a lot.

There are truths and lies, so that they won’t be exposed at once.

He looked guilty for exposing his family's scandal, while secretly observing Mr. He.

however.

Mr. He didn't react much after hearing this, and his face kept turning cold.

Gradually, Chen Xiangyuan did not dare to speak.

The curtains of the carriage were still hanging, and he looked at Chen Lin outside. He stood upright with a thin figure, carrying many things in his hands, and there was a special kind of spirit in his temperament.

But he was in the carriage with a low eyebrow and was being looked at.

Suddenly I felt like there was a blockage in my heart.

outside the window.

Chen Lin suddenly felt a glare.

Follow the source.

It was found that it was Chen Xiangyuan in the carriage.

Their eyes met instantly.

There was no time for any communication.

Chen Xiangyuan hurriedly forced out a flattering smile and went to please Mr. He again.

The carriage stepped forward, and the curtain fell.

Chen Lin clicked his tongue twice, feeling surprised in his heart.

I don’t know how Chen Xiangyuan sits in the car. With a height of nearly two meters, he can actually make his head appear lower than that of the rich man.

But that’s it.

How you want to live is your own choice.

There is no need for him to talk if he is not a relative or a friend.

Two carriages passed in front, and another followed behind.

The difference is that this carriage does not have a "he" flag hanging on it. Through the gauze curtain at the window, it can only be vaguely seen that the figure inside the carriage is a woman.

In contrast, the two coachmen sitting in front of the carriage caught Chen Lin's attention even more.

"Being so far apart, the aura of these two people can actually make me feel a sense of urgency?" "Are these the martial arts masters of this world?"

Both of them had strong arms and waist, and their exposed skin had a layer of fine iron color. At first glance, they were Lian Jiazi.

The current self is definitely no match.

After all, he can only draw talismans, not even spells, and he has no magic weapon to protect himself. He can only be regarded as a long-range auxiliary profession.

And the two coachmen were at least fighting fiercely at close quarters.

"I have to find some time to understand the martial arts in this world."

"I'm afraid the martial arts in this world are also extraordinary..."

Chen Lin wanted to take another look at the martial artist.

Suddenly, a butcher's shout came from behind:

"Hey! If you don't buy it, go away. You're blocking my business!"

"Sorry sorry."

Chen Lin carried his things and gave up his position in embarrassment.

The carriage just drove away, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it anymore.

"Go home while it's still early!"

Today's Kanazawa County is more difficult to navigate than before.

Maybe it's because the sun came out in the morning.

The snow on the street has melted a little, and the frozen feces and urine on the alley walls have also melted. Now the cold smell is no longer there.

Instead, it was soft and waxy, with a fishy smell of moisture.

There are several more levels.

North City Gate is more popular than yesterday.

The New Year is approaching, and the sun is shining again this morning, which rarely makes people want to go out. From time to time, mountain hunters come to the city to buy things.

Chen Lin lowered his head and walked out of the city gate carrying his things.

Walk all the way back to the foot of the snow-capped mountains ten miles away.

Push open the wooden door and put away the things you bought.

Then knock on the next door.

The aunt still didn't come back. It was her son Xiaoluobo who opened the door.

"Brother Lin, did you catch something?" The ten-year-old boy looked up and down, his eyes seemed to be shining.

Chen Lin returned the backpack to him, "Open it and see if you like it?"

"I really caught it...ah!"

Little Carrot opened the bamboo cover, and in an instant his whole body was petrified, and he raised his head stiffly.

Chen Lin saw with his own eyes how the light in Little Carrot's eyes disappeared little by little...

……

After half an hour.

"Does it smell good?"

"Woooo-smells!"

There were still tears in the corners of Xiaoluobo's eyes, and she bit the snake's meat in her mouth and chewed it hard.

The aunt took back the chopsticks she used to pick up the meat, and took a lick of the meat oil remaining on it. A fire started on the stove, and the snake meat soup was boiling.

"Really, Brother Qilin kindly caught the snake and brought it back to you to eat. Why are you crying?"

"Woo-"

When he talked about this, Xiaoluobo remembered the scary snake head he saw when he first opened the lid, and tears started flowing down again.

Made his mother laugh.

"You worthless coward!"

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

The aunt wiped away the tears from Little Carrot and hurriedly opened it.

Outside the door was Chen Lin, with a bundle of chopped firewood at his feet.

"Auntie, you asked me to help chop the firewood this morning."

"Oh! I remembered! What happened when you were basking in the sun outside, and the price I said at that time was five cents per bundle..."

The aunt quickly turned around to get the copper coins.

She was secretly upset this morning, feeling that five cents for a bundle of firewood was a waste, but now she didn't complain at all.

Moreover, she just glanced at it and saw that the bundle of firewood in front of the door was half thick and half thin, which was much more durable than pure thin wood.

In the county town, you can buy fine firewood for five cents a bundle, which is not resistant to burning, and coarse firewood that can withstand burning is ten cents a bundle.

'This child is really attentive and kind-hearted. He never let my family suffer any loss. Today, my son lent him a basket and actually got a winter snake from him. Unlike his old gambling father who would borrow money whenever he asked. '

'They are all close neighbors. This child can help me more in the future...'

The aunt smiled and took out the money at home and counted five copper coins. She felt happy.
