Chapter 7 Betting
Wen Xingxuan threw out four silver coins and said, "You don't need to look for the rest, even if it's a reward for you!"
The guest repaid the virtue with grievances, and now he rewarded him with sixty copper coins, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said to Wen Xingxuan: "Thank you, master, you go slowly." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
So Wen Xingxuan took the packaged meat and wine and left the restaurant and went back to Luoxia Village.
In Luoxia Village, Wen Xiaohu was suffering from Chai Yuan's harmony.
"Wen Xiaohu's grace date has arrived today, what's the matter, what about Yuegong?" Chai Yuan had a playful expression.
"Chai Yuan, this is morning, noon hasn't arrived yet? What are you anxious about? Anyway, today I will hand over double the monthly tribute. Wen Xiaohu knew that the problem of Yue's contribution had been solved, so he hardened up, but he was still worried about his son's safety on the way back and forth to Liuhua Town.
"Double the monthly contribution, I see that you can't even pay a month's contribution, and you are still there to stall for time, low pariahs, I see how you will die after today. Chai Fang stared at Wen Xiaohu fiercely, and then looked around from time to time, as if looking for Wen Xingxuan's figure.
Wen Xiaohu didn't want to see the faces of the Chai family's father and son, so he walked back into the house.
"Hmph, let's go, let's come back in the afternoon, and then the team leader will also come over and wait to collect their Wen family's monthly tribute, and see what tricks the two of them can play at that time." Chai Yuan shook his wide cuffs, held his fat belly, and left the door of the Wen family with his son and family.
Wen Xiaohu also heard what Chai Yuan said in the house, but it was useless to think about anything now, he only prayed for his son to come back safely.
Wen Xingxuan was cautious on the road, although he often heard people say how dangerous the outside world was, but he was almost done on the way back and forth, but he didn't feel anything.
There were only two or three kilometers to reach the village, and suddenly Wen Xingxuan found a person lying there under a tree on the side of the road, this person would not die, could it be that he fainted from hunger? He walked cautiously.
I saw an old man dressed even more shabby than him, and his hair was also messy, which was obviously a beggar.
Wen Xingxuan didn't notice any signs of injury to the old man, so he stretched out his finger and probed the old man's nostrils.
And gas, not dead people.
"Hey, old man, wake up, wake up!" he put his things down, grabbed the old man's shoulders with his hand and shook them.
"Hmm, who bothered me to find Zhou Gong for a drink!" the old man woke up in a daze.
"Sleeping here?" Wen Xingxuan was stunned when he heard it, and he said, "Old man, don't you know that sleeping here is very dangerous? Where is your home? Go back quickly!"
"My home, wherever I go, it's just my home!" the old man grinned.
It turned out to be really a beggar, Wen Xingxuan sighed, if he didn't have some skills, maybe after today, their father and son would also become beggars.
Chirp!
The old beggar suddenly seemed to have found some treasure, and his eyes lit up as he stared at the package underground.
The old man must have been very hungry, and he smelled the smell of black-veined beef and red wine in his package.
So Wen Xingxuan opened the package, took out a pound of black-veined beef from it and handed it to the beggar old man.
The old man hurriedly took it, grabbed a piece and threw it into his mouth, and ate it with relish, but his eyes were still fixed on the package.
Wen Xingxuan glanced at the old beggar and said, "I don't have anything to put in this wine for you." ”
Hearing Wen Xingxuan's words, the old man's eyes lit up, he didn't know where to take out a bottle of wine, and said with a smile: "I have it." ”
Wen Xingxuan glanced at the old beggar man strangely, so he opened the wine jar and poured some flowers into the old man's wine bottle and poured some flowers into the old man's wine bottle for him.
Wen Xingxuan felt that he had already poured more than a pound of wine, and the beggar old man's wine bottle was about a pound at most.
And when he was dissatisfied, he took back the jar.
The old beggar looked inadequate, but seeing that Wen Xingxuan no longer poured it to him, he had no choice but to put the wine bottle back, he raised his head, and drank two sips.
"Ah, what a human pleasure!" the old beggar looked intoxicated.
Alms can only be like this, Wen Xingxuan re-wrapped the meat and wine, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the old beggar looked at Wen Xingxuan with a serious face and said: "Boy, I see that your bones are wonderful, Yintang is shining, you are a peerless genius who practices martial arts, in order to repay your wine and meat, I have a secret book here, after you practice, the task of protecting the Divine Pattern Continent will be handed over to you." ”
The old beggar didn't know where to take out an old book and handed it to Wen Xingxuan.
Wen Xingxuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took over the cheatbook, only to see the words "Extraordinary Battle Body" written on the cover of the cheatbook.
Why is this so familiar! Wen Xingxuan scratched his hair, always feeling as if he had heard it somewhere.
While he was stunned, the old beggar man was already pacing, snorting and shaking his head away.
Wen Xingxuan came back to his senses at this time, and he felt very funny, because he finally knew what the beggar old man said, where did he hear it.
Could it be that the old man also crossed over from the earth? But he thought about it, it couldn't be! He couldn't imagine that he could still hear this classic phrase in an infinite distance of time and space, and he felt so interesting.
At this time, it was already noon, and on the only large open space in Luoxia Village, there was now an officer sitting, and next to the officer stood two soldiers, and the father and son of the Chai family and some family members were also on the side.
Wen Xiaohu stood in front of them, facing the officer and said, "Master Jun, my family Xingxuan, I will be back soon, please wait for some time." ”
"Wen Xiaohu, are you fooling our team leader? I have to give me a grace time, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Chai Yuan shouted loudly.
When the villagers heard Chai Yuan's words, many of them came over to see the excitement, some of them were indifferent to themselves, but more of them were of the same class knowing the plight of the poor and feeling sad for Wen Xiaohu.
"My lord, I think the father and son of the Wen family are deliberately delaying time again, if you don't give them some color, someone will follow suit in the future, and it will damage your majesty. "Chai Fang is already very vicious at a young age.
"Let's wait, after all, it's just noon. "Since the team leader promised Wen Xingxuan, he didn't want to make a move that he didn't believe in his words.
"Yes. The father and son of the Chai family did not dare to disobey the captain's wishes, so they had no more action, but the eyes of the two of them looking at Wen Xiaohu were full of viciousness.
Ji Qingxuan knew that today was the deadline for the contribution of the Wen family, so she had already come here, and at this time she was looking in the direction of the entrance of the village.
Suddenly, she showed an innocent smile, and saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the village.
"Brother Xingxuan. She ran over happily.
When everyone heard Ji Qingxuan's shout, they all looked in the direction of the entrance of the village.
"It's the son of the Wen family who has returned. The villagers watched Wen Xingxuan and Ji Qingxuan walk back together, and returned to Wen Xiaohu's side.
"Father, I'm back. ”
"Okay! Wen Xiaohu's heart finally let go.
Chai Fang saw that Wen Xingxuan was back, and Ji Qingxuan stood next to him with a happy face, and his face immediately showed a resentful expression.
"The waste with the severed hand is finally willing to come back, why! With a bag of tatters, you think you can pay double the monthly tribute?" Chai Fang sneered.
"Cut!" Wen Xingxuan glanced at Chai Fang with disdain.
Seeing Wen Xingxuan's expression, Chai Fang immediately became angry, "The waste with a broken hand, you dare to be proud, if you can't pay the monthly contribution, you will die!"
"What if I can hand it over? Can you bite me?" Wen Xingxuan didn't know why, when he saw Chai Fang's face and that strange dress, he thought, slap him, slap him.
"If you can pay double the monthly tribute, I'll... So I ate him. Chai Fang pointed to a lump of things underground.
"Oh! I can't believe you have such a hobby. Wen Xingxuan deliberately showed a look of surprise.
"You...!" Chai Fang suddenly found that Wen Xingxuan's mouth seemed to be much stronger, and he was just a stuffy guy before.
"Don't be complacent, if you can't pay double the monthly contribution, I don't want you to eat this feces, I just need you to cut off the other hand. Chai Fang's face was sinister.
"Wow! This firewood is too vicious, although if you can't pay the monthly contribution, you will be driven out of the scope of the protective circle, but it may not necessarily be impossible to survive, but if both hands are gone, then you will definitely have no ability to survive. The villagers were talking about it, looking at the Chai family's father and son with hateful and angry expressions, there were such bullies in the village, and they were not happy at all.
"Okay! Then we will ask the military lord to testify, so that no one will deny the account when the time comes. Wen Xingxuan has decided on Chai Fang, how could he be afraid of betting with Chai Fang!
Interestingly, the squad leader was also interested in seeing the two betting, so he laughed and said, "None of you are allowed to repay the account at that time, otherwise be careful of the knife in my hand." ”
"Come on, cut off your hands and waste, and make contributions!" Although Wen Xingxuan seemed to be confident, Chai Ke didn't believe that Wen Xingxuan could really make double the contribution.
Wen Xingxuan walked in front of the non-commissioned officer unhurriedly and took out four silver coins from his arms, "My lord, this is a two-month monthly contribution, please accept it." ”
"Hmm!" the team leader took the four silver coins and flicked them with his fingers, "That's right, the monthly contribution for two months has been handed in." ”
What? This severed hand waste can really hand over two months of monthly contributions, and the faces of the Chai family's father and son immediately became very ugly.
"My lord, in order to repay you for the days when you gave my Wen family a few days to pay contributions, here is a little meaning, please smile. Wen Xingxuan unwrapped the package and took out the black-veined beef and red wine in the flowers.
"Black beef, red flowers. The team leader sniffed his nose and smiled happily, although they are guards, but they don't often have meat and wine, they get the usual expenses from the villagers, the state only has a small amount of funding, they are all soldiers, they have to eat, drink and practice, and the usual equipment has to be maintained, they have a total of more than a dozen people guarding Luoxia Village, and the cost is also tight.
When the team leader saw that Wen Xingxuan was so good at doing this, he laughed and kept saying, "Not bad!
Chai Fang saw that Wen Xingxuan was able to survive this crisis, snorted in annoyance, and was about to leave with his family.
