Chapter 10: Back Home
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one queuing at the city gate, Lin Xuan, Lin Fengwu, and Lin Bai squeezed to the front to pay the entrance tax, and then entered the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Childe, Childe. ”
As soon as Lin Xuan and the others entered the city gate, a girl in cloth clothes at the city gate waved her hand and shouted loudly.
"Xiaoru. ”
As soon as he saw this girl, Lin Xuan's footsteps quickly walked to the girl's side, and said with some reproach: "Xiaoru, didn't you tell you not to wait for me here? ”
The girl said happily, "Childe, this is as small as it should be." ”
This is a young girl who is less than ten years old, although she is wearing a coarse cloth dress, but her posture is pretty, and a smile on her face reveals two cute little dimples.
"Xiao Ru, is there only Brother Xuan in your eyes, even the two handsome guys who are so conspicuous as us can't see it, I originally wanted to receive the silver today and buy a hairpin for you, but now my heart is hurt by Xiao Ru You, Xiao Ru you see what to do!" Lin Bai covered his heart, pretending that his heart was hurt and painful.
Lin Xiaoru's eyes moved away from Lin Xuan's face, and Lin Bai blushed when he said it, and said, "Who wants you to buy me a hairpin, but the son bought me a hairpin last time." ”
The three of them turned into four people, and they walked home together laughing.
"By the way, Xiaoru, do you know Wu Yuhan?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Xiaoru's eyes flashed with surprise: "Miss Yuhan, don't you know, young master? Miss Yuhan is very famous in the city. ”
Lin Xuan shook his head: "It's just that when I entered the city, I heard someone talking about it, and it seemed to be very famous." ”
"Brother Xuan, what you said is too bland, Xiao Ru you don't know, when the tax collector in front of the city gate mentioned that Wu Yuhan was poisoned, the queue in front of the city gate was chaotic all of a sudden, fortunately, this is the case, otherwise I am afraid that Xiao Ru You will have to wait for some time to wait for us. Lin Bai couldn't help but say.
"Miss Yuhan is really poisoned, I thought it was a rumor spread by bad people on purpose. Lin Xiaoru said with some concern.
Seeing Xiao Ru's expression, Lin Xuan was a little surprised and said, "Xiao Ru, have you ever seen Wu Yuhan?"
Lin Xiaoru shook her head, her eyes showed a look of reverence and said: "Although I have never seen Miss Yuhan, I have always heard of Miss Yuhan's kindness. ”
Lin Bai said in disbelief: "There are really such good people, Xiaoru, you won't be deceived, or someone deliberately spread it." ”
Lin Xiaoru said dissatisfiedly: "No, many people admit that they have been treated by Miss Yuhan, how can it be a rumor." ”
Walking through several bustling streets, the more remote they went, and the more dilapidated they became, Lin Xuan and the others walked into a dirty, messy, and poor area, where almost all the houses were broken and broken, and almost all the serious houses collapsed, and the rubble on the houses was broken.
Some of the houses that did not collapse so badly had a few people living in them, but most of them were in rags, and some of the serious ones were yellow and malnourished.
This is the slum area of Wangjian City, and those who can't afford to buy a house in Wangjian City will live here, but these houses have also been occupied by some ruffians and hooligans early, so even if they live in it, they still have to pay, but the price is very cheap compared to other houses in Wangjian City.
Lin Fengwu frowned and said, "Lin Xuan, after I become the martial servant of the Lin family, I will spend money to buy a house in Wangjian City, the environment here is too bad, and there are many ruffians and hooligans, although there is our warning, it is still not good for them to live here." ”
Lin Xuan nodded, and didn't say anything, the three of them grew up together, as long as they have the ability, they will help each other, and it would be too much to say thank you.
The four of them went around and came to a house, which, although it looked a little ugly, with graffiti on the walls, was the most complete one so far, and it could be seen that there were traces of repair in some places.
"Childe, my mother knew that you would come today, so I got up early in the morning to make you stewed soup to drink. Lin Xiaoru said.
"Mother, Childe is back. Lin Xiaoru shouted as the first to enter the door.
Soon, a middle-aged woman walked out of the back room, and when she saw Lin Xuan entering the door, she shouted with tears in her eyes, "Xuan'er." ”
"Mother. ”
Lin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the middle-aged woman tightly, and after hugging for a while, Lin Xuan separated from the middle-aged woman.
This is a middle-aged lady, her face seems to be because of years of hard work, so there are shallow crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but through her current face, it can be seen that she was a beauty before, and the middle-aged woman's posture is still not much out of shape after years of hard work, and it looks a little graceful.
Lin Fengwu and Lin Bai stepped forward and shouted, "Auntie." ”
Seeing Lin Fengwu and Lin Bai, the middle-aged woman smiled kindly: "Xiaobai, Fengwu, look at yourself, you must have suffered a lot on the peak, and now you are much thinner than before, especially Xiaobai, I remember that you were a little fat before, and today I know that you are coming back, so the eldest lady specially made broth for you." ”
When Lin Mu and Xiao Ru picked up the three cans of broth, Lin Mu urged: "Come, Xuan'er, Fengwu, Xiaobai, I specially bought the meat of a demon beast in the health realm from the bazaar, specially for you to boil and replenish your body, you drink it quickly, it will be cold later." ”
Under the gaze of Mother Lin, Lin Xuan, Lin Fengwu, and Lin Bai had to eat all the broth in the jar, including the soup and meat.
"Xuan'er, is it hard to train on the peak, can your body stand it?" Seeing Lin Xuan finish drinking the broth, Lin Mu asked worriedly.
"Mother, my body has gradually improved, and I haven't had a single illness on the peak in the past few years. Lin Xuan patted his chest and said.
Lin Mu nodded and said with relief: "That's good, that's good, Xuan'er, you have to remember that the body is the most important thing, although you haven't been sick again over the years, but you have to be just in case." ”
Lin Xuan listened carefully to Mother Lin's advice and said, "Mmmm." It can be seen that because Lin Xuan came back today, Lin Mu seemed very happy, and her face exuded a smile all the time.
Lin Mu said with a smile: "Xuan'er, you don't know, Xiaoru knows that you are coming back today, and most of the night yesterday didn't fall asleep, sitting outside and counting the stars." ”
Lin Xuan looked at Lin Xiaoru with some strangeness.
Lin Xiaoru blushed and waved her hand again and again: "No, what's the matter, my mother said nonsense, I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up and counted the stars." ”
Seeing Lin Xiao's shy appearance, several people laughed.
Lin Xuan also laughed, and he was very glad that he had decided at that time, Lin Xiaoru was actually not his own sister, it was when he was twelve years old, Lin Xiaoru was abducted and trafficked by human traffickers, at that time, Lin Xiaoru was beaten by human traffickers because he was disobedient, although Lin Xuan was twelve years old at the time, he lived for more than thirty years in his previous life, and he was also a very mature and stable person.
Originally, he didn't want to care about it at the time, but Lin Xiaoru screamed very miserably at the time, Lin Xuan couldn't bear it, and finally Lin Xuan still used a trick to save the little girl, at that time, Lin Xiaoru was covered with blood marks the size of a whip, and her hair was scattered, like a little beggar, Lin Xuan thought it was a little boy at the time, but he didn't expect to save a girl.
At that time, he impulsively rescued the little girl, Lin Xuan didn't think much about it, after saving it, Lin Xuan knew that it was more troublesome, because the little girl was homeless, if the little girl was thrown away, the little girl would definitely starve to death, and if the little girl was brought home.
Just kidding, Lin Xuan's own family is very poor, the mother and son depend on each other for their lives, so they can eat enough, if this little girl is brought home, the burden of life will be more serious, I am afraid that Lin Xuan's mother and son will have a problem eating, to be honest, Lin Xuan wanted to dump this little girl at that time, and he blamed himself for being nosy and regretting it.
But in the end, Lin Xuan still took Xiao Ru home, on the one hand, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his inner conscience, after all, leaving this little girl was equivalent to Lin Xuan killing this little girl, but more importantly, Xiao Ru's lonely crying at that time made Lin Xuan change his mind.
Wangjian City covers an area of 29,000 kilometers, is open in length and width, and has a population of more than 3 million, making it a large city.
At this time, the streets are bustling with people coming and going, colorful items, and various shops on both sides.
Lin Xuan and the four of them walked on this street, feeling that there were noisy voices in their ears, shouting and buying and selling one after another, along the way, Lin Xiaoru looked very happy, with a smile on his face, looking at the items on the stall, looking at this for a while, and looking at that for a while.
In order to behave in front of Xiaoru, Lin Bai said in a big tone: "Xiaoru, what do you like on this street and tell Brother Xiaobai, I will buy it for you." ”
"Hehe, what I fancied, Brother Xiaobai, can you really buy it for me?" Lin Xiaoru said with a smile.
In order not to lose momentum, Lin Bai patted his chest and said, "Of course." ”
"I still don't want it, Childe said, you can't spend money lavishly, otherwise the money will be spent soon. Lin Xiaoru said seriously.
Lin Bai looked deflated, looked at Lin Xuan and smiled bitterly: "Brother Xuan, you spare me!"
Lin Xuan and Lin Fengwu both laughed.
"Drive, drive, drive. ”
A horse ran to the middle of the street, suddenly stopped, a person jumped on horseback, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, yesterday afternoon, Miss Wu Yuhan was poisoned in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, and there is no solution so far, now, President Wu hereby advertises the whole city, hoping that a hermit with real talent and learning can go to the Alchemist Guild to detoxify, as long as he can unravel Miss's strange poison and save Miss, President Wu can let this person put forward three conditions within his ability, as long as President Wu can do it, he will do it." ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, the man rode away.
