Text Chapter 3: Yuanyuan's Trouble

Chen Xiao chatted with Yuanyuan for a while and was about to get up and say goodbye. He didn't go back to have lunch at noon, and his mother must have been waiting anxiously. At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and the voice was urgent. Chen Xiao frowned and sat back. Yuanyuan was also nervous. After a while, she reluctantly opened the door.

A strong man dressed in a house slave walked into the door swagger. If the green hat had not betrayed his identity, he would have looked like a court official who had come to understand the people's sentiments.

The slave Dama Jindao sat on the bamboo stool with his butt, looked at Yuanyuan and stared at Chen Xiao, and finally smiled contemptuously at the old man on the kang: "The money for this medicine has been delayed for half a year. Today, my young master said that he would either pay back the money or hand it over to someone!"

Chen Xiao knew that when winter came last year, Grandpa Mo suddenly became acutely ill, his whole body was hot, his skin was red and bloody, and he was unconscious for several days.

There was no money and food at home, and there was no medicine shop or doctor in the village. Yuanyuan was desperate and had no choice but to go to Zhaowang Village next door to ask for medicine.

There is a pharmacy shop in Zhaowang Village. The owner Zhao Dacai is a bully who came from a non-stop family. It is said that at first he was a local snake in a border town in the Blue King Empire, bullying men and women and doing everything he wants. Because he missed the local power and had an accident after drinking, he offended the local people and fled to this remote place.

He was a little restrained when he arrived here, but because of his savings, he opened the only restaurant, pharmacy and pawn shop in Zhaowang Village, which is the largest in the area, and has incorporated some gangsters as domestic slaves and thugs.

Zhao Dacai has an only son named Zhao Sheer. He was fifteen years old. He was spoiled and was extremely arrogant since childhood. He wandered around and bullied the villagers all day long.

But no one in the nearby villages could afford his father, so the neighbors and villagers were afraid of him when they saw him and avoided him.

Yuanyuan asked for medicine. The pharmacy shop was originally going to chase people away, but that day Zhao Sheer happened to be taking medicine at the pharmacy shop. When she saw Yuanyuan's pure and lively appearance, she became other thoughts.

With a wave of his hand, Yuanyuan got the medicinal materials he needed, but at the same time he got even more trouble.

In black and white, Yuanyuan owed six copper coins from the Zhao family's pharmacy shop. Grandpa's illness gradually improved, and the Zhao family was not in a hurry to ask for the debt.

But just a month ago, Zhao Sheer sent a slave to collect the bill. Yuanyuan's family had no labor, so she could only rely on Chen Xiao's usual support, so where did she get the spare money to return to the Zhao family?

Yuanyuan asked for a few more days to calm down. Zhao She'er's heart was not about these copper coins, but she showed her true face after a while. She wanted Yuanyuan to get started and be a child bride for him.

Yuanyuan was not willing to follow her, and she dragged her around like this. The tone of the Zhao family's people became worse and worse, and there were even signs of forcing the robbery of the common people.

This slave has come more and more frequently. Chen Xiao has encountered it twice and is clear about the reason. He has no choice but to deal with it.

How could this slave take the little Chen Xiao in his eyes? His sarcasm and sarcasm are filled with humiliation and sarcasm. Looking at the current situation, the slave must have been bad at the visitor.

Grandpa Mo seemed to be in his ears and did not reply. The face of the Zhuangzi gradually became impatient. Chen Xiao could only take over the conversation: "Brother Zhao, don't be angry, I will pay the money for this medicine."

After saying that, he took out six copper coins from his body and handed them to Zhuang Nu. Zhuang Nu didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and knocked the copper coins to the ground, angrily saying, "Do you think our Zhao family is begging for food?"

Chen Xiao frowned: "What does the eldest brother of Zhao mean?"

The Zhuang Nu glanced at him coldly: "The six copper coins were the accounts from half a year ago. Our Zhao family borrowed money and grain from outside. They bought and made a profit every five and made a profit. In the past six months, the debt has increased to more than one gold coins. Our young master is kind and don't want to pay more. Just pay back one gold coins."

One gold coin is equivalent to ten silver coins and one thousand copper coins. Not to mention gold coins, even the silver coins Chen Xiao has never seen since he was a child. Even if he packs them up, it is not worth the price.

Chen Xiao knew that it was a deliberately made things difficult for the slaves of Zhuang and were suffering from weak power, so he could only laugh and please. Seeing that the slaves of Zhuang were helpless, their words became more unscrupulous and began to push and insult.

Even clay people have a bit of earthiness. Chen Xiao saw that the strong slave was too bullying, and he gradually became tough in his words.

The slave was arrogant and saw that Chen Xiao was slightly rebellious, and suddenly became angry: "Little bastard, dare to contradict your uncle!" After that, he reached out and grabbed Chen Xiao's collar and wanted to hit someone.

Compared with the Zhuang Nu, Chen Xiao and Zhuang Nu seemed to meet an eagle. The strength was very different. Seeing that he was struggling and not willing to be outdone, he kicked his hands and feet, which made the Zhuang Nu busy for a moment. Yuanyuan was frightened by the side and was at a loss, and she could only sobb and persuade him.

Zhuang Nu was a little embarrassed by his troubles, but he became even more angry. He grabbed Chen Xiao's collar with both hands and lifted him up. It seemed that he wanted to throw him to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xiao pushed his hands towards Zhuang Nu's chest in a panic and tried to try his best to escape from his control.

At this moment, Chen Xiao felt his left hand suddenly sinking, and at the same time, a fluorescent light that was hard to see in the naked eye went straight to his palm from his arm position. For a moment, Chen Xiao didn't even think about it, and his small palm was printed on the chest of the slave.

An incredible thing happened. The strong man was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale. His hands that grabbed Chen Xiao's collar suddenly loosened. When he took more than ten steps back, a mouthful of blood was spurted out.

Yuanyuan and Chen Xiao looked at Zhuang Nu in a daze, not knowing what happened in the fog. Zhuang Nu held the door lintel and gasped for a while before looking at Chen Xiao in horror, turned around and stumbled and ran out of the door.

Chen Xiao was confused and thought that this strange scene was caused by this strong slave's relapse of his old illness.

But today's affairs may not be good, so I can only ask Mr. Wang. For Wang Chuang's sake, I hope he can mediate and settle things in the middle.

Chen Xiao comforted Yuanyuan for a while, and when she saw her mood slowly calmed down, a stone in her heart also fell to the ground temporarily.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to go home again, Grandpa Mo, who had been silent before, suddenly said, "Baby, come here and let me see." Chen Xiao laughed and thought to himself, wasn't grandpa blind? Why did he still have to "see" me?

Chen Xiaoyiyan came to the kang and sat next to Grandpa Mo. The old man stretched out his right hand that seemed like a dry air, gently pulled Chen Xiao's left hand and touched it, and was speechless for a long time.

Chen Xiao had no choice but to let him investigate. Although Grandpa Mo said nothing, the expression on his face was extremely exciting. His brows were frowned and stretched, and the muscles on his face were tightened and relaxed. It made Chen Xiao and Yuanyuan look inexplicably.

Just as Chen Xiao was gradually unable to bear it, the old man finally let go and sighed softly. Chen Xiao stood up and looked at the old man. Old Mo seemed to think for a while, but asked something that made Chen Xiao even more puzzled: "Baby, do you know the wind?"

"Wind? What wind? Strong wind? Strong wind? Night wind? Spring breeze? Autumn wind?" Chen Xiao was confused.

Mr. Mo said no more and waved his hand: "Go."

Seeing that he was like an old monk entering into meditation, Chen Xiao had no choice but to pick up the copper coins on the ground, said goodbye, Yuanyuan and walked out the door.

After a while, Old Mo murmured to himself: "This child has such an encounter at such a young age. I don't know whether it's a blessing or a disaster, alas..." Yuanyuan just thought that his grandfather was a little confused when he was old, and did not care about it, so he began to clean up the messy house.

Chen Xiao returned home and handed over a few liters of white rice and copper coins to his mother, saying that he had just eaten some wild game to exchange for it at the Wang family. Seeing that his mother had not aroused suspicion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Chen Xiao returned to his side room. Looking back on today, it was a lot of strange things. It was even more than what he had added in the past ten years. After thinking about it for a while, he had no idea and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

After sleeping until the moon was in the sky, Chen Xiao felt a strange body in a daze and gradually woke up. When he opened his eyes and calmed down, a chill suddenly rushed straight from his back to his head.

I saw a strange shadow standing in front of me. The strange shadow was translucent, and it seemed that the human figure was floating left and right. There seemed to be a faint smoke on my body, which was extremely strange.

Chen Xiao was about to scream but found that he had lost control of his body. It seemed that an invisible wall of air was pressing on his body, and his strength could not be used at all.

The strange shadow seemed to smile gently, and even spoke: "Little guy, don't be afraid, I'm not a monster."

Chen Xiao struggled for a long time, but when he saw that there was no use, the strange shadow had no intention of continuing to hurt him, he gradually calmed down.

He wanted to speak, but opened his mouth so hard that he couldn't make a sound. Seeing that he stopped struggling, strange shadow seemed to wave his hand. Chen Xiao felt that the pressure on his body was slightly reduced, and although he was unable to move, he could make a sound.

Chen Xiao tried his best to make his voice less trembling, and asked with courage: "You...you...who are you? Why come to my room?"

The strange shadow seemed to smile again: "You don't need to ask who I am. As for how I came here, you brought me here."

"I brought you here?" Chen Xiao became even more confused.

Wei Ying said: "No, you brought me here. Do you still remember the skeleton in the cave?"

"You...are you a ghost?" Chen Xiao's scalp broke out again.

The strange shadow was a little disdainful: "What the hell? It sounds so ugly! This is a wisp of my soul."

"Shen Soul? What is that?"

Wei Ying really didn't understand Chen Xiao, so she was too lazy to explain: "You will slowly know this in the future. Don't make trouble, I will lift your blockade."

Chen Xiao quickly said yes, and suddenly he could sit up with a lightening light. He just wanted to invite this ghost away quickly. Oh no, this wisp of spiritual soul. He laughed and pleased, and used all the flattery skills he had heard and seen.

'Shenpo' also found it funny to see Chen Xiao's poor performance, but there was no intention of leaving.

After teasing for a while, "Shenpo" smiled and said to Chen Xiao: "Little guy, do you know why that slave left in a mess today?"

"Did you do it?" Chen Xiao looked surprised.

There is a little disdain in the words of "Shen Soul": "And the ants are worthy of me? I just borrowed a little bit of strength from you."

Chen Xiao's heart moved. Could this "Shen Soul" still be a master of cultivation during his lifetime?
