Chapter 02: Brother-in-law
Hunger was more difficult than mosquitoes on a summer night, Lin Xiaogou tossed and turned in bed, did not fall asleep until the second half of the night, and had an extremely strange dream.
Lin Xiaogou dreamed of a pot of fragrant mutton, the pot that cooked the mutton turned out to be the cottage Gu Ding, he was hungry and he didn't care about the strange, picked up the spoon that was resting next to him and prepared a large piece of food, but no matter how he fished it, he couldn't afford to catch half a piece of mutton, he couldn't help but be angry, and flew up and kicked on Gu Ding, but Gu Ding was as stable as Mount Tai, but he was so painful that he jumped around.
couldn't eat the meat in the pot with all his might, and in the end, Lin Xiaogou could only greedily sniff the fragrance wafting out of the pot to satisfy his hunger.
The next morning, Lin Xiaogou woke up, although he was still hungry, but he was in good spirits, and his head didn't hurt anymore.
Lin Xiaogou got out of bed and moved a few times, and found that there was no discomfort in his body, and he couldn't help but secretly say strangely, could it be that the bowl that Qingqing gave herself last night was not a panacea?
At this time, the little maid pushed the door with the washing water and walked in, and when she saw Lin Xiaogou slatching her fists and kicks there, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Young master, your injuries are not healed yet, don't move!"
Lin Xiaogou smiled: "I'm fine, is there a mirror at home?"
"There used to be, but ...... It's broken!" Qingqing said in a smumbled voice.
Lin Xiaogou suddenly remembered that Lin Tianyou's second ancestor lost money in gambling some time ago, and when he went home, he lost his temper and beat Qingqing, and the mirror was also broken at that time.
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but smile bitterly, pointed to his head and said, "Then please help remove the gauze!"
"But the young master's injuries are not healed yet!"
"Let you dismantle it!" Lin Xiaogou glared, and the poor little maid immediately trembled with fright, put down the washbasin and stepped forward to help remove the gauze.
When the gauze was unwrapped, the little maid exclaimed in surprise, staring at Lin Xiaogou's forehead like a ghost, and the terrifying wound was gone, not even the slightest scar remained.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaogou said strangely.
The little maid's eyes were extremely strange, and she said authentically: "Young master, you ...... Your injuries are so healed!"
"Really, what kind of potion, did you give me last night?"
"It's just an ordinary bone-setting decoction!"
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, could it be that because he had crossed over and attached to Lin Tianyou, he had even healed the injuries on his body by the way?
Seeing the little maid's strange eyes staring at him, Lin Xiaogou coughed dryly, and said matter-of-factly: "Last night, Ben Shao dreamed of an old man with fairy wind bones, and he threw a ball of light at me!"
The little maid's strange eyes suddenly turned into awe, and she said happily: "The young master must have met the immortal master of the Light Star Palace!"
Lin Xiaogou rolled his eyes and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, it must be so!"
From the remnants of the dead ghost Lin Tianyou's memories, I learned that the Hall of Light Star was the most powerful ruling organization in the Nebula World, and only the Dark Star Hall could compete with it.
"But...... But the immortal master of the Hall of Light Star has always only healed the kind!" the little maid was puzzled.
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but have black lines on his head, could it be that Ben Shao looked like a big traitor, but the young master crossed it only when he was righteous and brave.
When the little maid saw the young master pull down his face, her face immediately turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Young master, the slave maid will help you wash your face!"
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Lin Xiaogou took the towel and wiped his face, and took a picture of the basin, although it was not very clear, but it could also be seen that he was quite handsome, and his smile was very sunny and pure, but his face was a little pale, and at first glance, he was too drunk and hollowed out his body, and it seemed that he had to strengthen his exercise.
Looking at Lin Xiaogou who skillfully washed the towel and wiped his face, the little maid was stunned, oh my God, is this still the young master of God who has to be wiped by others after shit?
As soon as Lin Xiaogou finished washing his face, his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
"That...... There is nothing to eat at home?" Lin Xiaogou asked awkwardly rubbing his stomach.
Qingqing came back to her senses at this time, lowered her head and said, "I've eaten them all, there were still two Silver Star coins yesterday, but ...... I ran out of medicine for the young master. Young master, bear with me first, the slave and maid will now go to the neighbor Aunt Yang's house to borrow some rice. With that, he picked up the washbasin and walked out of the room quickly.
"What a good girl!" Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but sigh, with such a loyal servant, Lin Tianyou's bastard was a treasure, and he didn't know how to beat and scold endlessly.
Lin Xiaogou opened the door and walked out, and found that although the house was dilapidated, the courtyard with three entrances and three exits was also a mansion, which was only the ancestral home of the Lin family in Xingning Town, which showed the wealth of the Lin family in the past.
Although the house is big, it is empty everywhere, when the Lin family moved to Luoxing City, they had already moved away the valuable furniture of the old mansion, and after Lin Tianyou returned to Xingning Town, he sold the rest for him to spend all his time drinking, so the current old mansion is an out-and-out home.
Although Lin Xiaogou is very annoyed by this, he is not worried about his future livelihood, he is not comparable to Lin Tianyou's second ancestor, with good cooking skills, I believe that it is absolutely no problem to mix food and clothing in this other world, it is a big deal to set up a ghost stall on the street to sell egg fried rice or something.
Just as Lin Xiaogou was pondering the way to make money, the little maid came back dejected, empty-handed, obviously not borrowing rice.
"Can't borrow rice?" Lin Xiaogou asked.
The little maid shook her head and said, "The neighbors won't borrow it!"
A touch of ridicule flashed on Lin Xiaogou's face, no one knows the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, the world is hot and cold, it is human nature, and he would rather put the icing on the cake than send charcoal in the snow.
Seeing that Lin Xiaogou was silent, the little maid said in a panic: "Young master, don't be angry, the slave maid will go to Hongyan Tower to help wash the dishes now, and she will be able to get paid to buy rice in the afternoon." ”
Lin Xiaogou hurriedly grabbed the little maid, and a big man of his own asked an underage girl to starve and suffer to work to support her, so he would simply hit his head and die, so as not to embarrass the man and the traversers.
"Stay at home honestly, it's a man's business to earn money to support the family!" Lin Xiaogou said loudly, his eyes shining with the brilliance of the world, and then pushed open the courtyard door with his head held high and walked out.
The little maid stood in the courtyard in amazement, and the famous loser boy who was famous for a hundred miles in Falling Star City actually said that he wanted to make money to support his family?
......
"The shopkeeper, do you need to help the cook? I fry, stew, baked, stir-fried, Sichuan, Cantonese, Shandong, Hakka...... Proficient in everything!"
"Go, go, we don't need a cook!"
"Shopkeeper, use me, I promise to make you Junyue guests like clouds, and the wealth is rolling!"
"Get out!"
"Shopkeeper, don't you really give me a chance?"
"If you don't leave, let the guy pick you up!"
"Shopkeeper, don't use me, you have lost a lot...... Ah, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, don't slap his face!"
A guy kicked Lin Xiaogou out of Junyue Building, forked his hands between them, pooped a horse step, and scolded: "I'm here, you, the second ancestor, still want to be a chef, and you still think you're in the way when you wash the dishes, get out of here, otherwise your mother won't recognize you." ”
"Damn, dogs look down on people!" Lin Xiaogou gestured his middle finger at the gate of Junyue Building, and then left stupidly.
Lin Xiaogou was depressed, he was still full of ambition when he first went out, ready to find a job as a chef, but who knew that five of them were rejected on the spot, and he was not even given the opportunity to show his cooking skills, which really hit him to the ground.
"It's all a rat-eyed guy!" Lin Xiaogou comforted himself angrily, and continued to walk along the street, suddenly his eyes lit up.
I saw that the door of a restaurant in front of me was wide open, the wine flag was fluttering, and people came and went in front of the door, and the pattern was magnificently shook off the nine streets just now, and the plaque in front of the door was engraved with the three big characters of "Hongyan Building".
Lin Xiaogou perked up, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the gate of Hongyan Tower, but after just a few steps, he was blocked by a group of people who came with oblique stabs.
"Oh, isn't that a blessing?"
Lin Xiaogou looked at it and almost blurted out: "What a fat big white pig!"
On the opposite side was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a silver-white robe with gold threads, his body was twice as big as Lin Xiaogou, his big belly was bulging like a mountain, the fat of his chin could swing, his face was as round as a baked cake, his skin was tender and white, and he was like a big white pig.
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but secretly lean, and from Lin Tianyou's remaining memory, he knew that the ...... in front of him It turned out to be his cheap brother-in-law Xue Zhu, nicknamed Snow Pig.
At that time, the Lin family and the Xue family were the leading families in Falling Star City, Lin Tianyou had a baby kiss with Xue Ning, the second lady of the Xue family, since he was a child, and later Lin Tianyou's parents had an accident, and the Lin family fell at a rocket-like speed, and the Xue family was naturally unwilling to admit this family affair again, but they were afraid that outsiders would laugh at the poor and love the rich, so they couldn't pull their faces to withdraw from their relatives.
The people of the Xue family hinted many times, but the second ancestor Lin Tianyou didn't know if he didn't understand, or if he really liked Xue Ning, and he refused to take the initiative to withdraw from his family, which made the Xue family, including Xue Ning, annoyed.
Lin Tianyou sold the house that fell in Star City and returned to his hometown Xingning Town, and this cheap brother-in-law chased him here, luring the second ancestor to spend all his time drinking every day, and spent all the money from selling the house in less than a month. The last time I went to Qunxiang Courtyard to drink flower wine, it was also pulled by this snow pig, and when it came to the checkout, the enthusiastic uncle sneaked away first, and as a result, Lin Tianyou was beaten by the turtle guards, and was thrown from the second floor to the street and almost fell to his death.
Lin Xiaogou is not Lin Tianyou's stupidity, and in retrospect at this moment, there are nine points that it must be that this cheap uncle colluded with those people to put himself to death.
At this moment, Lin Xiaogou noticed a cold light flashing in the snow pig's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, he was now alone, if this cheap brother-in-law saw that he was alert, maybe he would come directly to be rude, then wouldn't he die unjustly.
Lin Xiao's mind was turning, and he immediately changed into a signature smile, stepped forward and put on the snow pig's shoulder and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are so unrighteous, I slipped away last time, and Ben Shao was almost killed." ”
Xue Zhu couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that Lin Xiaogou was not hostile, his fat face smiled like a flower, hooked Lin Xiaogou's shoulder with his backhand, and said apologetically: "You Shao, I'm really sorry, I just had an urgent matter to rush back to Star City that day, I didn't expect this to happen, brother, I'm worried about you, so I rushed back from the starry night of Falling Star City, and now I am relieved to see that you are fine, if something happens to you, I will blame myself for my brother for the rest of my life!"
"Dead fat boy, you will be a quilt if you dream of it!" Lin Xiaogou greeted the ancestors of the Xue family one by one in his heart, but said with a kind smile on his face: "Don't mention the past, big brother, you are also an unintentional mistake!"
A hint of imperceptible ridicule flashed in Xue Zhu's eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's good if you don't blame you, in order to express your apologies, I invite you to Hongyan Tower for a meal to make amends." ”
