The summer morning is cool.

The breeze is blowing and the coolness is refreshing.

Lin Xi left the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning, and when he walked out of the mansion, the servants in the mansion who met on the road had a 180-degree change in their attitudes as expected, and their eyes were full of disdain when they saw Lin Xi, and the guards guarding the gate of the mansion were not as enthusiastic as before, all of which confirmed what Apricot said.

Lin Xi chuckled and shook his head uncomfortably, and couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart that grievance, everyone in the mine had died that day, and no one could prove his innocence, whether it was the wind or the rain, he was acting properly, sitting upright, he had done his best in the mine, and he was not ashamed of his heart, and the only one who was ashamed was the captain of the guard who saved himself and died that day.

After Lin Xi left the mansion gate, he walked straight towards a village called Qingyuan Village outside the city, today, he was going to do something very important to him.

I learned from Han Xiang'er that in the battle of the mine, he was rescued from the abyss giant scorpion pincer, and the captain of the guard who unfortunately died was named Manniu, who lived in Qingyuan Village, not far from the city, and there were three people in the family, in addition to Manniu, there were three people, his wife was named Zheng Ya, and they had a son who was less than thirteen years old, and there was an old mother who needed to take care of them at home.

On the way to Qingyuan Village alone, Lin Xi was uneasy, the battle of the mine that day, he was in a desperate situation, it was the wild cow who ignored his own danger and resolutely saved himself from danger, but the wild bull himself ended up dead, maybe the wild cow did not save himself, the only person who survived may be the wild cow instead of himself, every time he thought of this, Lin Xi felt extremely guilty, it was the wild cow who exchanged his life for his life and saved himself, and he didn't even know the name of the other party, in addition to the grace of his parents, the greatest kindness in the world is the grace of saving lives, and the most difficult kindness to return is the grace of exchanging lives for lives, along the way, Lin Xi's mind repeatedly appeared the last words that Manniu said before he died, and when he went on this trip, Lin Xi didn't know how to face Manniu's family.

When I have something in my heart, I always don't know the passage of time, and I came to the entrance of Qingyuan Village in a flash, and a simple wooden door was erected at the entrance of the village, and three red lacquer characters were engraved on the door: Qingyuan Village.

Entering the entrance of the village, you will see two rows of flat-roofed houses, obviously this is the market area of this village, although it is not as magnificent as the city, but it is also bustling and busy.

Walking further in, you will pass through the village market area, the houses are disordered and numerous, thanks to the strength of this golden star, good at work, even the houses of the village, are brick walls, solid wood for the door.

Lin Xi inquired all the way, searched and searched, and came to the door of Manniu's house, probably because Manniu was the captain of the mine, and he had gained a lot, and the layout of Manniu's house was much better than that of the neighbors next to him.

On the top of the two red lacquer doors, there is a bronze mirror on one side, and a folded shirt is hung on the other side, which is the custom of Jin Mixing, after someone in the family dies, the bronze mirror and the clothes of the deceased are hung on the door for a year, symbolizing the meaning of inviting the soul of the deceased to return, and inviting the soul to enter the afterlife.

Lin Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head, threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart, and stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.

After a while, I heard a soft woman's voice coming from the courtyard:

"Who?".

The red-lacquered wooden door slowly opened, revealing a delicate woman's face through the crack in the door that gradually opened.

"May I ask who you are? We don't seem to have seen each other, right?" The door was ajar, and the woman who opened the door was still holding her hands on the door, looked Lin Xi up and down, and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, you are Zheng Ya's sister-in-law, I am a friend of Brother Manniu in the mine, my name is Lin Xi", Lin Xi said with an embarrassed smile.

"You..... , Are you Lin Xi?" Zheng Ya's delicate face was slightly surprised, "Oh, please come in first", stunned for a while, before opening the door, turning sideways, and inviting Lin Xi in.

Lin Xi walked into the courtyard, the layout of the courtyard is very simple, a square stone table, a water tank, a hanger, and a row of weapons wooden racks, on which there are a few weapons scattered, there is a young child in the courtyard, wiping the weapons on the wooden frame, the weapons are not rusty, bright as new, it can be seen that this child cherishes these weapons very much.

Zheng Ya invited Lin Xi to sit down in front of the stone table in the middle of the room, took the tea, and after a little reception, she sat down in front of the stone table, brushed a trace of scattered green hair behind her ear with her fingers, and said:

"May I ask if Gongzi Lin came over today, is there something wrong?"

"I just listened to my sister-in-law's tone, it seems that she has heard my name, so she must have heard some gossip, right?" Lin Xi said with a light sip of tea.

"Well, it's true that I heard something about the guards who came back from this change of guard, but I can't blame you, even if you stay, it will only add casualties in the end, I don't think you did anything wrong", Zheng Ya pinched the teacup in her hand, looked at the tea in the cup, and said.

Lin Xi sighed softly, this Zheng Ya estimated that he had already recognized that he was a deserter, and he didn't have to care too much about being wronged by others, but was suspected by the people he cared about, this taste was really uncomfortable! Zheng Ya was the wife of the manniu, and the manniu died to save Lin Xi, in Lin Xi's heart, he had already regarded the dead manniu as his brother, and the widowed mother and son left by the manniu, Lin Xi felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to properly settle the manniu.

"Sister-in-law, I came this time because of the deathbed support of Brother Manniu, whether you believe it or not, those rumors outside are just some slanderous rumors", Lin Xi put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Zheng Ya, and said solemnly.

"Oh!", Zheng Ya's eyes flashed with sadness, and she was a little skeptical, but she listened carefully, and her thoughts about her deceased husband made her want to hear more about her deceased husband.

"Here's how it happened........".

Lin Xi carefully recounted all the events that happened in the No. 48 mine that night, mentioning how Manniu led everyone to resist the enemy, how Manniu rescued him from danger, mentioning Manniu's death, and mentioning Manniu's last words before he died.

Although her husband died, no one told Zheng Ya how her husband died, everyone only knew that the Wang's water village attacked that night, and many people died.

Hearing these things, Zheng Ya couldn't help sobbing in the end, especially when mentioning the last sentence that Manniu said, Zheng Ya couldn't cry, Manniu sighed before he died: "This kind of thing happened the next day after changing the guard, it's not good, Xiaoya is sorry."

Lin Xi sat aside and was stunned for a while, not knowing how to comfort the widow who was crying on the stone table, the little boy on the side of the courtyard heard Zheng Ya crying, quickly ran to his mother's side, hugged his mother, and yelled at Lin Xi:

"It's you, it's you who made my mother cry, you let me go, let's go."

The child held Zheng Ya's hand with one hand, and kept pushing Lin Xi violently, Lin Xi had no choice but to stand up, feeling sad for a while, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but feel guilty from the bottom of his heart.

Zheng Ya, who was crying at the table, suddenly stood up, pulled her son aside, and said in a choked voice:

"This is Manniu and my son, named Manqian, Manqian, call him uncle, he is a good friend of your father."

When he heard his mother's shout, he stopped, lowered his head, and reluctantly whispered to his uncle.

Lin Xiqiang squeezed out a smile in response, sat back in embarrassment, and was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"Sister-in-law Zheng Ya, it's all my fault for this, if it weren't for the fact that Big Brother Manniu was trying to save me, maybe he wouldn't have died", Lin Xi was like a child who had made a mistake, and said with his head bowed.

"I can't blame you, as he himself said, it's all his bad life, if you really want to blame, blame the beasts in Wangjia Shuizhai, it was they who slaughtered innocents and slaughtered the entire mine, this kind of blood feud, we Han Shuangcheng can never forget", Zheng Ya wiped away the tears flowing from her cheeks, and said with resentment and fierceness in her eyes.

Lin Xi sighed secretly, this golden star is really not a good person, no matter men, women and children, they are not easy to mess with.

"Sister-in-law, here are some things that Brother Manniu entrusted me to bring you, and here are some things that I have given to you myself, a little bit of gratitude, and please accept it from my sister-in-law, so that I can also feel a little more at ease", Lin Xi took out a few sacks from the Mi Ring and placed them next to the stone table.

These bags are all full of Yuan Crystals, which are the more than 3,000 intermediate Yuan Crystals that Lin Xi collected from working in the mine, and more than 20 high-grade Yuan Crystals, Lin Xi was worried that Zheng Ya would not accept them, so he divided them into two groups, one in the name of the wild bull, and the other in his own name.

Zheng Ya first opened the sack of the brute cow and looked at it, and then opened Lin Xi's sack and looked at it, with a puzzle in her eyes.

"Lin Gongzi, are these really brought to me by our manniu dragged by you?How can there be so many?", Zheng Ya said, pointing to the sack of the manniu.

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't you know, in the mine before, Brother Manniu and I did something for the city lord, and here is the bounty for that mission", Lin Xi said what he had thought of a long time ago.

Zheng Ya was skeptical, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Then, since these are entrusted to me by the brute, I will accept them, and as for the ones you gave me, I cannot accept them."

Zheng Ya insisted on her own opinion and insisted on refusing to accept Lin Xi's share, Lin Xi had no choice but to give up, glad that she had prepared before.

At this time, the barbarian returned to the wooden frame of the weapon, carefully wiping the weapons one by one, so Lin Xi opened his mouth and shouted:

"Brute, are these all your weapons?".

"Uncle, these are my father's weapons, but I like them too, and I can use them when I'm older," he said.

"Then can you tell Uncle about your Yuan Body level and cultivation realm?" Lin Xi continued.

"I am a sixth-grade Jin Yuan Body, I practice according to the method that my father taught me to absorb Yuan, I feel that I am about to condense into a Yuan embryo membrane and enter the Yuan Star Realm", Manqian stood up and said proudly with his hands on his hips.

This brute does have his proud capital, growing up in such a family, the Yuan body can reach the sixth level, and he is about to break through to the Yuan Star Realm at the age of thirteen, in addition to having good talent, there is no doubt that the brute bull must also be very attentive to the cultivation of this child.

"Then you have broken through to the Yuanxing Realm, is it okay to come to Han Shuangcheng to find your uncle", Lin Xi said with a smile: "Uncle will pass on a set of powerful exercises to you."

Engraving scroll, he doesn't have this ability yet, engraving scroll needs to reach the Yuan King realm, so he can only verbally promise to be brute Qian, he really wants to teach Lingxi fingering to Manqian, and make up for the debt to this child a little.

"Thank you uncle yet", Zheng Ya scolded with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle, what kind of exercises? Isn't it powerful?", the brute was overjoyed, jumping and jumping with joy, pulling Lin Xi to teach him the power of the exercises.

In this way, Lin Xi stayed at Manniu's house for a morning, and gradually got closer to Manniu's family.
