Chapter 20: The Cold Moon
"Master Zhang, I've already inquired everywhere, no one knows Xu Tian's detailed origin, saying that he came from the direction of the Nine True Gates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Zhang Sandao is reporting Xu Tian's news to Zhang Wanguan.
"Could that be a disciple of the Nine True Sect or a registered disciple?" asked Zhang Wanguan.
"No, I asked someone about the disciples of the Nine True Sect, but no one has heard Xu Tian's name. Zhang Sandao replied.
"That's weird......" Zhang Wanguan touched the bridge of his nose and frowned.
"Master Zhang, I followed him last night and found that he and Steward Li were ......" Zhang Sandao said everything he heard and saw behind his back to Zhang Wanguan word by word.
Zhang Wanguan heard the white fox tail grass, sixty gold coins, thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, after making sure that he had heard it correctly, and then heard Zhang Sandao say that Xu Tian took out ten gold coins to thank Steward Li, and hurriedly asked again, and then listened to it all.
"This Xu Tian really has a background, you are secretly staring at him, I will visit the Jiuzhen Gate in the past few days, if it is not from the Jiuzhen Gate, it will be easy to do. Zhang Wanguan couldn't understand that Xu Tian only had a total of sixty gold coins, how could he take ten gold coins to thank Steward Li?
"Got it, Master Zhang, three knives to retire. Zhang Sandao stepped back lightly.
"Chen Liu! come out!" Zhang Wanguan saw Zhang Sandao walking away, so he called out Chen Liu behind the screen.
"Master Zhang, Chen Liu is here, what do you command?" Chen Liu heard Zhang Ye call him and hurriedly walked out.
"In a few days, it will be the day when the mine will pay the wages, you can make good arrangements for me, and if there is no mistake, I will count it as eight copper coins a day to those miners, and I will talk about it when I come back, do you know?" Zhang Wanguan warned Chen Liu sharply.
The day before yesterday, Chen Liu was framed by Xu Tian and Li Steward, and he would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate, so he had to warn him.
Zhang Wanguan knows Chen Liu very well, he is mercenary, and he is very narrow-minded, but because this dog is obedient enough, he stays with him.
"Master Zhang, whatever you say is what you say, Chen Liu will definitely do it, and he won't cause you any more trouble. Chen Liu nodded again and again.
Zhang Wanguan asked Chen Liu to go down to do some work, and he was going to go out to visit Jiuzhenmen, it is estimated that it will take three or four days to go back and forth, and the following things must be taken care of to rest assured.
Chen Liu walked out of Zhang Wanguan's courtyard, immediately straightened his waist, and walked towards the mine.
Zhang Wanguan currently has four mines, two stone mines, one iron mine, and one copper mine, he Chen Liu is the head of the big mine, helping the mine owner to do everything, except for the mine owner, he wants to bully everyone, in the past few years, anyone who sees him has to pay three points.
Unexpectedly, one was framed by a new hairy boy, that Steward Li and Zhang Sandao, as well as the other heads of the stone mine, even joined forces to help Xu Tian frame him, which is extremely hateful!
Chen Liu had his own little abacus in his heart, the miner wanted him to wait for peace and security, he couldn't wait, he didn't dare to have big moves, small actions could still be had, otherwise, wouldn't anyone dare to frame him in the future, the mine owner believed him once, and how many times would he come?
He thought all the way, first explained the affairs of the other three mines, and then walked leisurely towards the mine where Xu Tian was.
Xu Tian and the others were mining, but the two didn't talk much today, and Han Yue felt strange in her heart, wondering if the two had something awkward.
A whole dreary morning passed with the sound of a clattering hoe.
Yu Nan didn't ask Xu Tian to go out to get food together, but put down the iron hoe by himself and went out first.
Xu Tian felt helpless, he didn't know why it suddenly became bad.
"Brother Xu, my younger brother is young and vigorous, did he make you unhappy, if he did something wrong, I, who was my sister, apologized to you for him......" Han Yue grabbed Xu Tian and couldn't help asking.
"Hanyue, do you believe I'm not a bad person?" Xu Tian didn't answer, and asked Hanyue such a question.
"Of course Brother Xu is not a bad person, even if he is a bad person, you won't hurt us, right?" Han Yue didn't understand why Xu Tian asked like this, in her heart, Xu Tian cared about her more than her younger brother, even if Xu Tian was really a bad person, as long as he cared about himself, what did it matter?
"That's good, Yu Nan may have some misunderstanding about me, and I can't tell you clearly, it's okay, you don't have to worry!" Xu Tian smiled warmly at the cold moon.
"I'll go out and get you some food!" Xu Tian also went out.
Yu Nan saw Xu Tian come out, so he took the food he had just received and walked back to the mine quickly, he pulled Han Yue and walked in a little: "Sister, we will keep some distance from Xu Tian in the future!"
"Yu Nan, Brother Xu has been helping us all along, do you have any misunderstanding?" Han Yue asked anxiously.
"Sister, don't ask so much, I'm afraid you will be sad!" Yu Nan looked at Han Yue and said seriously.
"Sad?" Han Yue heard Yu Nan say this, and her heart became even more anxious.
"I know, my sister likes Xu Tian, right? Just because he doesn't let you work, just because he gives you pills, just because of that gem, you like him, right?"
"But sister, have you ever thought about it, who in this world will be good to others for no reason? He has never mentioned his life experience, he can also spell, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"Yu Nan, don't talk about it......"
"Sister, we are not all the way with him, I don't want my sister to be hurt in any way!"
"Yu Nan!
"Sister, he already has someone he likes in his heart!"
ā......ā
Han Yue's body trembled slightly, and her face became ugly.
Yu Nan saw that her sister stopped talking, and then she knew that she was too impulsive just now!
"Sister......" Yu Nan also felt uncomfortable.
"Don't talk about it...... Sister knows......" Hanyue turned her back, feeling a tingling pain in her heart, and tears were about to fall in her eyes.
Xu Tian happened to come back at this time: "Cold Moon, the food is back, eat it while it's hot!"
But he lifted it for a long time, and Hanyue didn't come to get it.
Yu Nan looked at Xu Tian with an angry expression, and Xu Tian stepped forward strangely: "Yu Nan, did you make Hanyue angry? She is your sister!"
"Yes, she's my sister!I don't need you to care!I've already brought her food!" Yu Nan said angrily.
"Yu Nan!"
"Brother Xu, don't listen to him, I'm fine......" Han Yue slapped Yu Nan's shoulder angrily, and said to Xu Tian in a choked tone.
Hanyue lowered her head, and a few strands of green silk on her forehead covered her sad face.
Xu Tian couldn't help but gently stroked Han Yue's shoulder: "Han Yue, you treat me as your brother, just tell me if you have anything, don't see outside!"
Han Yue's heart was even more cold, it turned out that Xu Tian was treating her as a sister, and she would be wrong......
Yu Nan pulled away Xu Tian's hand on Han Yue's shoulder: "I will protect my sister!"
The atmosphere became heavier and heavier, and Yu Nan was also conflicted in his heart, he didn't know why he was so hostile to Xu Tian, he didn't want to be like this.
Xu Tian didn't think about it so much, and dug up the mine casually and quietly.
Poor Hanyue's heart is cold, although it is not chaotic when it is broken, but once the feeling is born, it is not easy to take it back.
"Yo~ Xu Tian, look, look, why did you come to your mine so coincidentally!"
Xu Tian, Yu Nan, and Han Yue turned back almost at the same time.
"Chen Liu?!" Yu Nan exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Tian frowned, got up and was about to drive Chen Liu out.
Chen Liu's smile was sinister, and without waiting for Xu Tian to approach, he walked inside: "I'll check how your mine is digging, such a big mine, why are there only three of you~"
Chen Liu's gaze swept over Xu Tian and Yu Nan and landed on Han Yue's body.
"Huh~ How come there is a woman here?" Chen Liu's eyes lit up and he walked towards the cold moon.
Han Yue looked at Chen Liu with a frightened expression, and unconsciously stepped back, leaning against the cave wall with no way back.
Yu Nan stared at Chen Liu nervously, but he didn't dare to step forward to stop him from approaching his sister.
"You get me out!" Xu Tian blocked in front of Han Yue with an arrow step, grabbed Chen Liu's collar and walked out.
"Hey~Hey~ You have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?!dare to do it with me?!" Chen Liu was pulled by Xu Tian, but his strength was not as good as Xu Tian, and he couldn't break free, so he had to take advantage of his verbal majesty.
"Something is coming at me!Don't get in the way in my mine!" Xu Tian looked at Chen Liu's ugly face angrily.
"Yo~One person does things and one person does things, good! It's good!But I, Chen Liu, do things, and never listen to other people's instructions, haha~" Chen Liu pulled the collar that was pulled in Xu Tian's hand, tidied up the placket of his clothes vigorously, threw Xu Tian an extremely scoundrel expression, and swaggered away.
Xu Tian's face was angry, his eyes were full of fire, and he watched Chen Liu walk away all the way before turning around and returning to the mine.
"Brother Xu, Chen Liu has found out about his sister, what can I do? Look at the look he had just now......" Yu Nan became scared, as if he had been unhappy with Xu Tian before, and suddenly forgot all about it.
Han Yue looked at Xu Tian nervously, her eyes full of panic.
"Hanyue, don't be afraid, as long as I am here, I won't let Chen Liu get close to you!" Xu Tian comforted.
"Yu Nan, you will be paid in the next two days, you should be able to go home, and see if you can not let your sister come back again!" Xu Tian said to Nan again.
Yu Nan nodded, thinking of her aunt, her face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Brother Xu, I'm afraid my aunt won't agree......"
Hanyue lowered her head sadly and cried quietly because she was afraid.
"That'...... Take me back with you when the time comes!I have a way to convince your aunt!" Xu Tian looked at the remaining gold coins in the storage ring and said confidently.
