12. Cornered

The next day, early in the morning.

The nun who lived on the opposite side came early to repay the money and settle the piece of lower grade spirit stone that she owed yesterday.

And I also gave an extra piece, and bought another bottle of Relief Pill to go back.

Looking at the haggard appearance of this female cultivator, Chen An estimated that she should have tried to get money last night, and she was so busy that she didn't sleep all night.

As for where and how the money came from, Chen An didn't care about it, he just knew that he could make money.

"Husband, it's still early, will we go back to the room to sleep?"

Song Huaying held Chen An's arm, her beautiful eyes were full of water, and she shook it coquettishly.

When the nun came to repay the money just now, she looked at the other party carefully.

It turned out that the other party did not lose to himself at all, whether it was his appearance or figure.

In this regard, she has a great sense of crisis, and is worried that if the other party really becomes her husband's concubine in the future, her current status in the family will not be guaranteed.

In order to avoid this situation, she thought that before the other party was admitted into the house, she had to please her husband as much as possible and further enhance her status in her husband's mind.

So, in the following days.

Because of Song Huaying's intention, the life of the husband and wife gradually returned to the same as before pregnancy, and they had to enjoy fish and water every day.

It's just that the corresponding number of times a day is less than half of what it used to be, and the process will be more careful and gentle, and pay more attention to the communication between each other's hearts.

During this period, the nun who lived in the opposite door would come over every once in a while to buy the Jie Xia Dan.

The interval between each time became shorter and shorter, as if her father, who was seriously ill, was getting worse and the need for the anti-summer pill was increasing.

At the beginning, Chen An thought that it was the existence of the Heatstroke Relief Pill that even he didn't know about.

For example, dependence, addiction, etc.

As a result, I later checked some information and learned that the reason for this situation was entirely due to the fire poison patients themselves.

It's just that the fire poison is in the late stage, and then the physical condition declines sharply, and the condition deteriorates day by day.

To put it simply, it's almost the same as the terminal cancer in a previous life.

The body deteriorated day by day until death.

And the current behavior of the female cultivator is equivalent to throwing her family into chemotherapy for her seriously ill father, just hoping that he can live a little longer.

Chen An thought about persuading the female cultivator.

Saying that you do this will only ruin your own life and make your father suffer from illness.

It's better to let your father end the pain as soon as possible, and you don't have to be so tired.

But after thinking about it, the father and daughter have been dependent on each other for so long, and the feelings in this are deep, and it is not the turn of an outsider like himself to analyze the pros and cons and make people make trade-offs.

……

And so the days passed.

[Goldfinger: Beginner (66/100)]

[Danjutsu: First Intermediate (338/500)]

[Wife: Song Huaying]

[Attributes: The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates]

[Feelings: 2 stars (299/500)]

[Alchemy XP Provided: 320]

[Gold Finger Proficiency Provided: 60]

At a glance, the increase is not large.

Chen An put away the data in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the young female cultivator who lived in the opposite door, a female cultivator named Gu Xinyue who was refining qi at the first level.

He still remembers that the other party cried and said that as long as she could save her father, she would be willing to be a concubine.

Now the little wife has been pregnant for almost five months.

In two months, I will have to rest assured that I can't enjoy the joy of fish and water.

At that time, whether it is the Dan Dao realm or the golden finger realm, its ascension speed will have to be greatly reduced.

According to this trend, it is somewhat unrealistic to save enough money to move to the core area before the birth of a child.

After all, from the time of marriage to the present, the savings have only saved less than 300 low-grade spirit stones.

At present, the only solution is to raise the Dan Dao realm to the first order as soon as possible.

In this way, the income of alchemy can be greatly increased, and it is more than enough to pay the rent in the core area.

For this reason, Chen An had to find another partner who could assist him in his cultivation.

And this candidate, he fell in love with the young female cultivator who lived in the opposite door-Gu Xinyue.

One is that the other party has outstanding appearance and tall figure, which is in line with his own aesthetics.

The second is that the other party is young and not deeply involved in the world, which is convenient for future training.

The third is that the other party keeps his promise, once he buys the pill on credit, he will settle it on the same day, and he has a strong personality, shoulders the heavy responsibility of the whole family alone as a woman, and is full of filial piety, and he will never abandon his father who is so sick that he can't take care of himself.

With such a high-quality partner, it would be a pity if you didn't find a way to trick her into the house.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time."

Chen An looked down at the round and straight abdomen of his little wife, and he was so worried that he couldn't do it.

The pressure of starting a family is really great, and I am too tired to do it.

I really miss the unrestrained single life before.

……

In a blink of an eye, days passed.

Recently, the situation in the cheap zone has become more and more chaotic.

Due to the problem of rising rents, there are now a lot of repairs.

I often hear that people have been robbed of their money, and even their clothes have been stripped of themselves.

If it is bad, even after robbing money, it will kill people and kill people, and the means are extremely cruel.

Now the atmosphere in the whole cheap district is oppressive.

Unless the strength is guaranteed, many people generally stay at home and stay closed.

Some of the economic conditions are not very good, either directly incarnate into robbery, or directly move out of the bamboo leaf forest and find another way out.

And Chen An belongs to the kind of people who have been closed.

Most of the time is spent in alchemy to make money, and a small part of the time is spent with the little wife everywhere.

On this day, Chen An had just finished a business and was about to go back to the room to find his little wife Wen Cun, when there was a knock on the door very inappropriately.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Master Chen Dan, I'm here to buy the Ice Crystal Pill!"

With such a familiar voice, you don't need to look at it to know that it is Gu Xinyue, who lives at the opposite door, who is here.

Come and buy her father a summer pill.

And this summer relief pill has now been renamed Ice Crystal Pill.

After all, it is a bottle of elixir that can sell a low-grade spirit stone, and if it is called the Jie Xia Pill, it is too low to be worthy of this price.

But it's different to call it Ice Crystal Pill.

It sounds very high-end, and it can be bought with just a low-grade spirit stone, which feels very affordable.

"Gu Daoyou, how much do you want to buy this time?"

Chen An looked at Gu Xinyue outside the window and asked with a smile.

Gu Xinyue took out three lower-grade spirit stones, threw them to Chen An accurately, and said lightly: "Bring me three bottles of Ice Crystal Pill." ”

This shot is getting more and more arrogant.

Chen An sighed in his heart, and didn't forget to quip: "Gu Daoyou, where have you made a fortune recently, can't you secretly do the business of robbing money?" ”

Gu Xinyue smiled faintly, didn't speak, picked up the three bottles of Ice Crystal Pill and turned around and walked towards her home.

Looking at the slender back of the other party's departure, Chen An felt a little regretful.

I knew that when Gu Xinyue cried and said that she was willing to be a concubine that day, she should have taken her down.

It's hard to take it now.

After all, people are no longer short of money, they can afford to buy pills and rent houses, why should they be wronged to be concubines?

But on second thought, there's actually nothing to regret.

To put it mildly, during this period of time, just by selling the Ice Crystal Pill to Gu Xinyue, he earned more than 30 low-grade spirit stones.

If he had chosen to take her as a concubine that day, the money would definitely not have been earned.

Even, she had to stick the spirit stone upside down to treat her father.

But then again, where did Gu Xinyue, who had only cultivated to the first level of Qi refining, get so many spirit stones?

Is it a big money on the list?

Chen Anxin was puzzled.

……

Before I knew it, some more time had passed.

During this period, the situation in the Bamboo Leaf Forest Cheap Zone became more and more chaotic.

Many robberies have gradually developed from blocking roads and robbing property at the beginning, and now they dare to rob even during the day.

It made the whole cheap area panic.

As an alchemist, Chen An has long become a sweet spot in the eyes of the cultivators.

Many robberies paid attention to him and robbed him.

It's just that the result is somewhat tragic.

All of them failed to rob, but they were shot in the head by Chen An with a golden finger, and their property was confiscated by touching the corpse.

When he was done, he was dragged to a corner of the yard and buried, and he died quietly.

But not everyone has the power to protect themselves like Chen An.

When most of the residents were robbed, they either chose to admit their cowardice and destroy their wealth and eliminate the disaster, or they chose to resist and ended up in a tragic end.

For a time, a large number of monks moved away from the bamboo leaf forest and chose to find another way out.

Because there were too many people leaving, and they were all unable to enter and exit for a long time, the high-level of Zhuye Forest was in a hurry.

The tenants are gone, who is going to collect the rent?

As a result, the high-level leaders of the Bamboo Leaf Forest began to remedy the loss, and arranged a steward in the late stage of gas refining to each cheap area of the Bamboo Leaf Forest, and equipped a team composed of several mid-stage Qi refining monks to patrol to jointly control the chaos in the cheap area.

The intensity is very strong and the results are remarkable.

In less than half a month, all the cheap areas have returned to their former tranquility.

Everyone dared to go out of their homes to do business, and the situation began to flourish.

But compared to half a year ago, it was still a lot worse.

Because of the price increase of the red leaf forest before, coupled with the serious crotch pull of public security in the later stage, the reputation collapsed.

Now, if we want to return to the prosperity of the past, it will take at least a few months or even a year to slowly recover.

……

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

On this day, there was good news in the autumn leaf forest.

Rents in the cheap area have dropped!

Reduced back to the original monthly one lower grade spirit stone!

Because of the pressure from the outside world, the Xuanhuang Sect, which had caused blood demons to run rampant outside due to the excavation of spirit stone veins, finally sent people out to clean up the mess.

sent several Jindan stage powerhouses to attack, and in less than two days, all the blood demons were destroyed.

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

Most of the people have been ruined by the rampant blood demons, but there are also a few people who have made a lot of money because of it.

For example, Chen An, who is an alchemist, has earned more than 400 low-grade spirit stones in the past nearly a year, and his life is much richer than before.

It was unthinkable to make so much money in a year.

Although the blood demon is gone now, and the alchemy is not so profitable, Chen An did not feel uncomfortable at all.

He had long known that this special period would not last long, and sooner or later someone would take action to solve it.

It lasted for almost a whole year, which was already very unexpected for him.

"Ying'er, let's go, go out with your husband to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and have a good time."

Chen An had just gotten up from his little wife, and immediately lowered his head and smiled at her with a look of understanding.

Song Huaying's face turned red all of a sudden, she knew that her husband wanted to go outside with her to play a little wild, although she was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse, but pursed her lips and agreed: "Ying'er listens to her husband." ”

Soon, the couple went out.

didn't take a few steps, and met Gu Xinyue with a sad face.

Gu Xinyue was about to go to Chen An's house to talk to him about something unspeakable.

This happened to happen, so he simply walked up with his head bowed and his eyes closed, and begged him shamelessly:

"Chen Danshi, please accept me as a concubine!"
