Chen Xiao chatted with Yuanyuan for a while, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but he didn't go back to eat at noon, and his mother must have been waiting anxiously. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the voice was hurried. Chen Xiao frowned, sat back again, Yuan Yuan was also worried, and reluctantly opened the door after a while.

Swaggering into a strong man dressed as a house slave outside the door, if it weren't for the Tsing Yi hat betraying his identity, looking at his expression and posture, he would have been able to get rid of a big member of the DPRK and China who came to observe the people's feelings.

The house slave Da Ma Jindao sat on the bamboo stool, squinted, looked at Yuanyuan and glared at Chen Xiao, and finally smiled contemptuously at the old man on the kang: "The money for this medicine has been delayed for half a year, and today my young master said, either pay back the money or hand it over!"

Chen Xiao knew that in the winter last year, Grandpa Mo suddenly fell ill, his whole body was hot, his skin was red like blood, and he was unconscious for several days.

There was no money and food at home, and there was no pharmacy and Langzhong in the village, so Yuanyuan had no choice but to go to Zhaowang Village next door to ask for medicine.

There is a pharmacy in Zhaowang Village, and the owner, Zhao Dacai, is a bully who is born in the wrong family. It is said that at first, it was a local snake in a border city of the Blue King Empire, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil. Because of a drunken mistake and offended the local magnates, he fled to this poor and remote place.

When he arrived here, he also restrained a little, but because he had accumulated a lot of savings, he opened the only local restaurant, pharmacy and pawnshop in Zhaowang Village, which has the largest population and the largest area in the vicinity, and incorporated some market gangsters as domestic slaves.

Zhao Dacai has an only son named Zhao She'er, who is fifteen years old, pampered and arrogant since he was a child, and bullies the villagers all day long.

However, no one in the nearby villages could afford to mess with his father, so the neighbors were afraid of snakes and scorpions when they saw him and avoided him.

Yuanyuan asked for medicine, originally the pharmacy guy was going to pick people up, but that day Zhao Snake happened to get medicine in the pharmacy, and when she saw Yuanyuan's pure and agile appearance, she had other thoughts.

With a wave of his hand, Yuan Yuan got the medicinal materials he needed, but at the same time, he got even more trouble.

In black and white, Yuanyuan She Yaohou owed six copper coins to the Zhao family pharmacy. Grandpa's illness gradually improved, and the Zhao family was not in a hurry to ask for arrears.

But just a month ago, Zhao She'er sent a house slave to collect the debt, Yuanyuan's family had no labor, and he barely relied on Chen Xiao's usual help, where did he get the spare money to return to the Zhao family.

Yuanyuan begged for a few more days, Zhao Snake's heart was not in these copper coins, and she showed her true face when she came and went, and asked Yuanyuan to be a child daughter-in-law for him.

Where is Yuanyuan willing to follow, just dragged it around, and the tone of the Zhao family is getting worse and worse, and even gradually there are signs of robbing the people's daughters.

The number of times this slave came became more and more frequent, Chen Xiao had encountered it twice, and he knew the reason, so he had no choice but to maneuver from it.

How could this slave take the little Chen Xiao in his eyes, and the cynicism in his words was full of humiliation and sarcasm. Look at today's posture, the house slave must be a bad person.

Grandpa Mo seemed to be behind his ears, and did not reply, the face of the strong slave gradually became impatient, and Chen Xiao could only take over the conversation: "Don't be angry, big brother of the Zhao family, I will help her pay back this medicine." ”

After that, he took out six copper coins from his body and handed them to the strong slave. The strong slave didn't look at it, and as soon as he raised his hand, he knocked the copper coin to the ground, and said angrily: "You are asking for food for our Zhao family?"

Chen Xiao frowned: "What does the big brother of the Zhao family mean by this?"

Zhuang Nu glanced at him coldly: "Six copper coins are the account of half a year ago, our Zhao family borrowed money and grain, and every five times a profit was drawn and rolled up, in the past half a year, the arrears have risen to more than one gold coin, our young master is merciful, don't do more, just pay back one gold coin." ”

One gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins, a thousand copper coins, not to mention gold coins, even silver coins Chen Xiao has never seen since he was a child, even if he packaged them and sold them, it was not worth the price.

Chen Xiao knew that this was a deliberate embarrassment by the strong slaves, and because of their weak strength, they could only laugh and flatter, and the strong slaves saw that they were helpless, and their words and actions became more and more unscrupulous, and gradually began to push and insult.

Even the clay man is also a little earthy, Chen Xiao saw that the strong slave deceived people too much, and his words were slowly tough.

This slave had no one in his eyes, and when he saw that Chen Xiao had resisted slightly, he suddenly became angry: "Little rabbit cub, dare to contradict your uncle!" As soon as he reached out and grabbed Chen Xiao's collar, he wanted to beat someone.

Chen Xiao and the strong slave are like chickens meeting eagles, the disparity in strength is huge, and when he sees the struggle, he is not to be outdone, and his hands and feet are kicking and planing, which makes the strong slave also busy for a while. Yuan Yuan was so frightened that he couldn't stop sobbing and persuading.

The strong slave was a little embarrassed by him, but he was even more angry, and grabbed Chen Xiao's collar with both hands and lifted him up, as if he wanted to throw him to the ground. Chen Xiao saw that the situation was not good, and in a panic, he pushed his hands to the chest of the strong slave and tried to get out of his control as much as possible.

At this moment, Chen Xiao faintly felt that his left hand suddenly sank, and at the same time, a fluorescence that was difficult to see with the naked eye went straight to the palm of his hand, and for a moment Chen Xiao didn't have time to think about it, and the small palm was imprinted on the chest of the strong slave.

Something incredible happened, the strong man was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale, and the hands that grabbed Chen Xiao's collar suddenly let go, and when he took more than a dozen steps back, a mouthful of blood had spurted out.

Yuan Yuan and Chen Xiao looked at the strong slave in a daze, and they didn't know what was going on in the clouds, the strong slave held on to the lintel and gasped for a long time, before they glanced at Chen Xiao in horror, turned around and stumbled and escaped out of the door.

Chen Xiao didn't know what to do, thinking that it was the recurrence of this strong slave's old illness that caused this strange scene.

But today's things may not be good, so I can only beg Master Wang, for Wang Chuang's sake, I hope he can mediate in the middle and settle the matter.

Chen Xiao comforted Yuanyuan for a while, and saw that her emotions were slowly calming down, and a stone in her heart temporarily landed.

Just when Chen Xiao was about to go home again, Grandpa Mo, who had been silent before, suddenly said, "Baby, come over and let me have a look." Chen smiled and thought to himself, isn't grandpa blind, why do you still want to "look" at me?

Chen Xiao came to the kang and sat next to Grandpa Mo, the old man stretched out a right hand that seemed to be dry, gently grabbed Chen Xiao's left hand and touched it, and was speechless for a long time.

Chen Xiao had no choice but to let him investigate. Although Grandpa Mo had no words in his mouth, the expression on his face was extremely exciting, his brows were wrinkled for a while, stretched for a while, the muscles on his face were tensed for a while, and relaxed for a while, and Chen Xiao and Yuanyuan were inexplicable to see.

Just when Chen Xiao gradually couldn't bear it anymore, the old man finally let go of his hand and sighed softly, Chen Xiao stood up and looked at the old man. Mo Lao seemed to think for a while, but asked something that made Chen Xiao even more puzzled: "Baby, do you know 'wind'?"

"Wind, what wind, strong wind, strong wind, night wind, spring breeze, autumn wind?" Chen Xiao was confused.

Mo Lao didn't say more, and waved his hand: "Go." ”

Chen Xiao saw that he had no movement like an old monk in his meditation, and he was helpless, so he picked up the copper coin on the ground, said goodbye to Yuanyuan and walked out of the door.

After a while, Mo Lao muttered to himself: "This child has such an encounter at a young age, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, hey... Yuanyuan only thought that his grandfather was a little confused when he was older, and he didn't care, and began to clean up the somewhat messy house.

Chen Xiao returned home, handed over a few liters of white rice and copper coins to his mother, and only said that he had caught some game and exchanged it at Wang's house, and he was relieved to see that his mother was not suspicious.

After dinner, Chen Xiao returned to his side room, thinking that today was really strange, even more than he had added up in the past ten years, and he didn't have a clue after thinking for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

This sleep until the moon was empty, Chen Xiao felt that his body was strange, and gradually woke up. When he opened his eyes and calmed down, a sudden chill rushed from his back to the top of his head.

I saw a strange shadow standing in front of me, the strange shadow was translucent, it seemed that the human figure was fluctuating from side to side, and there seemed to be a faint smoke on the body, which was extremely weird.

Chen Xiaogang wanted to scream but found that he had lost control of his body, as if there was an invisible wall of qi pressing on his body, and he couldn't use any of his strength.

The strange shadow seemed to smile lightly, and actually spoke: "Little guy, don't be afraid, I'm not a monster. ”

Chen Xiao struggled for a long time, but when he saw that it was useless, and the strange shadow had no intention of continuing to hurt him, he gradually calmed down.

I wanted to speak, but I couldn't make a sound when I opened my mouth. Seeing that he was no longer struggling, as if waving his hand, Chen Xiao felt that the pressure on his body had decreased slightly, and although he was unable to move, he could already make a sound.

Chen Xiao tried his best to keep his voice from trembling, and asked boldly, "You... You.. Who are you, and why are you in my room?"

The strange shadow seemed to smile again: "You don't have to ask who the old man is, as for how I came here, you brought me here." ”

"I brought you here?" Chen Xiao was even more confused.

The strange shadow said: "Yes, you brought me here, do you remember the skeleton in the cave?"

"You... Are you a ghost?!" Chen Xiao's scalp was another glance.

The strange shadow was a little disdainful: "What the hell? It's so ugly! This is a wisp of the old man's spirit." ”

"Spirits, what's that?"

The strange shadow saw that Chen Xiao really didn't understand, and he didn't bother to explain: "You will slowly know this in the future, don't make trouble, I will relieve your blockade." ”

Chen Xiao hurriedly said yes, and suddenly he was able to sit up with a light body, he just wanted to quickly ask this ghost away, oh no, this wisp of spirit. It's laughing again, it's flattering, and it's all the sycophants you've heard and seen.

'Shenluo' also felt funny when he saw Chen Xiao's clumsy performance, but he didn't mean to leave.

After teasing for a while, the "spirit" smiled and said to Chen: "Little guy, do you know why that slave left in embarrassment today?"

"Did you do it?" Chen Xiao looked surprised.

There was a slight disdain in the 'spirit' words: "The ants are also worthy of the old man's shot? I just borrowed a little bit of your strength." “

Chen Xiao's heart moved, could it be that this 'divine spirit' was still a master of cultivation before his death?
