_Chapter 6: Crisis
The next morning, the wind stopped and the snow fell. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chu Ling'er woke up early, smirked and put the clothes covering his body on Chu Chen's body, then left a line of words on the ground with a stone, and then left the cave alone.
One foot deep and one foot shallow, clear footprints spread, and not long after, Chu Ling'er came to Aoki City.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect snake gall here?" In a pharmacy, Chu Ling'er said timidly.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Received." ”
As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper's face sank, and the ugly birthmark on the face of the little girl in front of him really made him sick to his stomach.
The human heart is so sinister, in the end, the snake gall snake skin that should have been able to be exchanged for two taels of silver was only exchanged for a piece of broken silver of less than one tael.
Despite this, Chu Ling'er was still grateful to the shopkeeper, even if it was just such a piece of broken silver, it could already help her a lot.
Holding the silver tightly, Chu Ling'er hurriedly left the pharmacy.
"Although the silver is not much, but save a little, you should be able to make a padded jacket for my brother......" On the street, Chu Ling'er shrunk down and lowered her head, thinking about the materials she needed to buy while hurrying.
Not far away, Lin Erhu came out of the cloth shop with a group of people. But he didn't seem to be very happy, so that the people behind him didn't dare to say much.
Lin Erhu is very troubled now, as the chief housekeeper of the Lin family, he seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact, he is walking on thin ice every day and is cautious.
If he hadn't been cautious, I'm afraid that Yu Chengxue, the wife of the head of the family, would have already ousted him from the position of the chief housekeeper and replaced him with her henchman.
Now, the rise of the Lin family has become unstoppable, and the weight of this big housekeeper is even heavier. Naturally, Lin Erhu's crisis is getting deeper and deeper.
In the past few days, Lin Erhu has been thinking about how to gain the trust of the head of the family, how to secure the position of the big housekeeper, just thinking about it, there is no good way!
"If it goes on like this, the position under this ass will be lost sooner or later!" Walking with a stuffy head, Lin Erhu felt inexplicably aggrieved.
Suddenly, someone behind him reminded: "Brother Lin, there is a little girl in front!" ”
", what's there to see about the little girl? I really can't stand it, go back to your mother-in-law, and then I can't look for it in the building myself! Lin Erhu was furious, and instinctively thought that a few subordinates were lustful.
"But...... It seems to be Chu Linger's ugly girl in front! ”
"It doesn't matter if she's Chu Ling'er or Zhao Ling'er, in short, Lao Tzu doesn't have the heart to think about these now!" Lin Erhu was still angry, but suddenly, he paused: "Chu Ling'er? The cheap girl who was kicked out of the Lin family? ”
Without waiting for the person behind him to answer, Lin Erhu looked up and saw a little girl walking on the other side of the street, although she lowered her head, she was clearly Chu Ling'er.
"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them! I was worried that I couldn't gain the trust of my wife, but it happened that you cheap girl sent it to the door, hummed......" Lin Erhu smiled in his heart, and waved his big hand: "Go!" ”
After saying that, Lin Erhu took the lead, walked to the other side of the street, and deliberately stopped in the direction where Chu Ling'er was going.
With a calculating mind, Chu Ling'er, who lowered his head and smiled sweetly, quickly bumped into Lin Erhu, who had a fierce eye.
Before she could raise her head, Chu Ling'er was pushed to the ground by the strong Lin Erhu, and at the same time, the Lin family behind her surrounded her with a wicked smile.
"I say, who is so bold to hit people? It turned out to be you ugly, what's the matter, it's not shameful enough? Do you still want to go to our Lin family to steal? ”
Lin Erhu crossed his hands on his hips and smiled fiercely. After speaking, he ordered everyone to lift Chu Ling'er up and walk towards the moat.
……
In the cave outside the city, Chu Chen woke up slowly, and the food and sufficient sleep made him look much more energetic.
"Ling'er...... Ling'er ...... "Finding that Chu Ling'er was not there, Chu Chen shouted inside and out, and after a while, he noticed the handwriting on the ground.
"It turned out that I went to the city, this girl ......" After reading the handwriting, Chu Chen's heart was a little relieved. I didn't think much about it, I just took the meat and grilled it on the fire.
Before I knew it, an hour passed, and the wind gradually picked up outside. And the meat had already been roasted, and Chu Chen's own portion had already been eaten, but Chu Ling'er still hadn't come back.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Don't let anything happen! Guarding the entrance of the cave, seeing that the wind and snow were about to rise, Chu Chen was worried.
"No, I've got to go check it out!" After waiting for a while, Chu Chen didn't hold back after all, and headed in the direction of entering the city.
Soon, Aoki Castle was already in sight. Chu Chen was about to speed up his pace into the city, when suddenly, a hysterical laugh came into his ears.
In this laughter, there are vaguely mixed words such as "stinky girl" and "cheap girl". On top of that, he also heard a panicked female voice.
"Damn bastard!" As soon as he heard the cry full of horror, Chu Chen's muscles instantly jumped, and a wave of anger surged into his heart, and he picked up a wooden stick in his hand, and quickly ran towards the sound.
Arriving at the location, the scene in front of him made Chu Chen's teeth crack.
I saw that on the ice on the moat, Lin Erhu and others were in a circle, and in the center of the circle, there was a hole.
On the edge of the hole, two people grabbed Chu Ling'er's thin arm and put her down, lifted, put down, lifted her in the bone-chilling ice water, and the cycle repeatedly.
Every time I put it down, the river will inevitably overflow overhead, and my heart will be cold; And every time you mention it, your whole body will inevitably be exposed to the wind, and the wind will be cold to the bone.
Poor Chu Ling'er is dying at the moment, she can't even open her eyes, and even the frightened cry is just a subconscious instinct.
"Lin Erhu, give me death!" Chu Chen, who was exposed, didn't want to think about it, so he quickly rushed forward and slapped Lin Erhu on the back with a stick.
With a "click", the stick broke.
Lin Erhu turned around at dusk, but he seemed to be nothing.
"Good, good! Originally, this cheap girl was already an unexpected joy, but I didn't expect you to come as a waste, so I'm welcome. As long as I arrest the two of you, I, Lin Erhu, will be able to sit back and relax in the position of the big butler! ”
There was no nonsense, Lin Erhu waved his hand, and the two of them on the side of the cave threw Chu Ling'er onto the ice, and that rude action made Chu Chen angry again.
was about to go over and help Chu Ling'er up, but he didn't take Lin Erhu a step across, and his burly body, like a big mountain, was dead in front of Chu Chen.
One step apart, like a moat!
Chu Chen clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth were already bitten and bleeding.
"Get out of here!" An angry reprimand, the voice was like coming to this cold netherworld hell, cold to the bone, murderous.
Lin Erhu subconsciously took a step back, and when he reacted, his face suddenly turned red.
Thinking that he is the grand butler of the Lin family, although he is not a star vein martial artist, he is also an ordinary martial artist with the fifth level of the quenching realm. The strong body made him suffer a stick without the slightest damage, and he punched out, which was full of thousands of catties.
And what is Chu Chen? Chu Chen is just a mortal, no, he is not even as good as a mortal when the Star Mansion is broken, he is a real waste!
A wasted person, why should he say "get out" to a five-fold powerhouse in the quenching realm?
