Chapter 11 Hate and Joy

                            bang!

 “Get out of the way quickly!”

 The house slaves were whipping and shouting loudly outside.

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

 Having just hunted a big fish in the snow-capped mountains, his impression of Chen Xiangyuan improved.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Xiangyuan answered a few questions from Sister Huo, it worked wonders.

 So he specifically allowed Chen Xiangyuan to sit in the carriage and ride with him.

 In a carriage.

Chen Xiangyuan huddled up and endured the cramped living space, racking his brains to tell Mr. He jokes along the way.

Mr. He would respond with a few words from time to time.

 The atmosphere is harmonious and everything is developing in a good direction.

 Waiting for the carriage to enter the mountain city.

 Speed ​​decreases sharply.

Mr. He yawned, opened the curtains in boredom, and glanced outside twice before his brows furrowed slightly:

“Chen Xiangyuan, is this the woodcutter you said has no money?”

"ha?!"

Chen Xiangyuan, whose name was suddenly called, felt his heart skip a beat 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!

  His!

  ‘Didn’t Dad say the day before yesterday that his family had been emptied out and that this man would 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 didn't steal them back.

 And he should not 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 little 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 became 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, and he must have just made a profit from gambling.

I remember that this man's father, Chen Bazhi, was also addicted to gambling, and had **** 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 was so anxious that he became wise and said a lot.

 There is truth and there is falsehood, so that it will not be exposed at once.

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

However.

Mr. He had no reaction 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. He looked at Chen Lin outside. He stood upright with his thin figure and carried many things in his hands. 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.

 Out the window.

Chen Lin suddenly felt a glare.

 Follow the source.

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

 The two people's 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 an acquaintance.

Two carriages passed by in front, and another followed behind.

The difference is that this carriage does not have a flag with the word "he" 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, Chen Lin paid more attention to the two coachmen sitting in front of the carriage.

"So far apart, the aura of these two people can actually make me feel a sense of urgency?" "Is this the martial artist of this world?"

The two of them were both muscular and muscular, and their exposed skin had a layer of fine iron color. They looked like Lian Jiazi at first glance.

 The current self is definitely not an opponent.

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.

 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 want to buy it, go away. You’re blocking my business!”

  “Sorry sorry.”

Chen Lin carried his things and gave up his position awkwardly.

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.

 Perhaps it’s because the sun came out in the morning.

The snow on the street has melted a little, and the frozen excrement and urine on the foot of the alley wall has also melted. Now the smell is no longer cold.

 It is 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 came out again this morning. It is rare for people to want to go out. From time to time, mountain hunters come to the city to buy things.

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

Walked 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.

Auntie still hasn’t come back. It was her son Xiaoluobo who opened the door.

 “Brother Lin, have you caught anything?” The ten-year-old boy looked up and down, his eyes seemed to have light.

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 instantly he looked like he 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!”

With tears still hanging from the corners of Little Carrot's eyes, she bit the snake's meat in her mouth and chewed it hard.

Auntie 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 Qinlin kindly caught the snake and brought it back to you to eat. Why are you crying?”

                              

  When talking about this, Little Carrot 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!”

  咚咚.

 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 it! When you were basking in the sun outside, I said the price was five cents per bundle...”

 Auntie quickly turned around to get the copper coins.

This morning she was secretly upset, feeling that five cents for a bundle of firewood was too much, 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 firewood.

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

 ‘This child is really attentive and kind-hearted, and he never let my family suffer at all. Today, I lent him a basket and actually got him a winter snake. Unlike before, his gambling father would borrow money whenever he asked. ’

 ‘We are all close neighbors, this child can help me more in the future…’

With a smile, my aunt took out the money at home and counted five copper coins. She felt very happy.
