After Chen Xun went out of the yamen, he and Lao Li Yesun were ready to go home.
Lao Li saw that Chen Xun did not bring the black tiger out, and sighed in his heart. He guessed that he must have been bet by the Lord of the town, and he did not dare to say anything. People were safe.
Chen Xun smiled and did not explain too much about it.
It was not until he met the shopkeeper of the eagerly awaited Chunfeng Restaurant halfway and listened to the conversation that Lao Li learned that Chen Xun had sold the black tiger to the Lord of the town.
Shopkeeper Chunfeng sighed at that time and left regretfully.
After being robbed by the town lord, the shopkeeper of Chunfeng couldn't help it.
Moreover, Shopkeeper Chunfeng didn't want to blame Chen Xun. After all, the town lord wanted the black tiger. In his opinion, Chen Xun couldn't help it. It might even be sold at a very low price.
Then all the way home, Lao Li and Li Yuan did not ask how much the black tiger sold.
Because in their view, it was Chen Xun's own money, and it was not too good for them to ask.
Of course, Lao Li and Li Yuan did not covet Chen Xun's money at all.
.....
In the evening.
Chen Xun and the Old Li family gathered around for dinner.
Halfway through eating, Chen Xun suddenly put down his chopsticks, took out his money bag, and handed it to Lao Li.
Lao Li was stunned. Li Yuan also looked at the money bag in astonishment.
"Chen Xun, you are..." Old Li felt something.
Chen Xun smiled and said, "This is the income from selling the black tiger.
Old Li said with difficulty, "Chen Xun, keep this money for yourself. There must be something you can use in the future. Fate and I don't covet your money."
Chen Xun smiled helplessly and said, "There's not much money in there. Grandpa Li can just accept it. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease after eating and drinking for so long in Grandpa Li's house."
What else did Old Li want to say.
Li Yuan saw that Chen Xun had been holding his hand and said, "Grandpa, just accept Brother Chen's gift. Just help Brother Chen save it!"
"Okay, okay." Old Li had to take the money bag and said, "Chen Xun, then I will save it for you first. If you marry a daughter-in-law or something in the future, ask me to take it."
In Lao Li and Li Yuan's view, it is estimated that there is not much money in the money bag, so they reluctantly accepted it and saved it for Chen Xun.
Little did they know that one hundred gold was among them.
Chen Xun nodded and smiled.
Li Yuan looked at Chen Xun's smile in a trance and did not know what he was thinking.
After the meal.
Chen Xun stood in the courtyard and looked up quietly at the stars in the night sky.
"Big Brother Chen."
Li Yuan's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Chen Xun still looked at the night sky and smiled, "What happened to fate?"
Li Yuan looked up at Chen Xun's side face for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Is Brother Chen leaving soon?"
Chen Xun was slightly startled. He tilted his head to look at Li Yuan and understood that he had seen something during dinner just now. He immediately nodded, "Mmm."
After getting the answer, Li Yuan felt reluctant and said, "Then, where is Brother Chen going?"
Chen Xun's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. He shook his head and said softly, "I, Chen Xun, am originally a rootless duckweed. I will float wherever I go."
Hearing this, Li Yuan's mouth was slightly open and his eyes were dull. For some reason, his heart was filled with bitterness for no reason.
The Eldest Brother Chen in front of her gave her a feeling of eternal loneliness. That kind of loneliness was indescribable and unclear.
Li Yuan wanted to say that since Brother Chen did not have a home, he might as well live in the future and take it as his home. However, she already knew for some reason that Brother Chen would definitely refuse.
Li *******ttered, "Then will Brother Chen come back?"
Chen Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe."
"I'll come back to Xiaohe Town to take a look when I have time."
Li Yuan's heartstrings loosened slightly and he nodded silently. At that time, he did not know what to say.
Chen Xun turned around and said, "Fate, speaking of which, where are your parents and grandma?"
Sadness flashed in Li Yuan's eyes and he said, "There was a great drought that year. There was no food at home. Many people died in Xiaohe Town. My parents and grandma also starved to death. Grandpa almost... Fortunately, Ji Bochang took office in time and brought disaster food. Grandpa saved his life. Later, I lived alone with Grandpa. Until now, more than ten years have passed."
Chen Xun nodded slightly and reached out to gently touch Li Yuan's head. After withdrawing his hand, he did not say any other comforting words.
The natural disaster was ruthless. Li Yuan was lucky. I don't know how many old, weak, women and children died under the natural disaster.
It is good to be alive.
Li Yuan hid his sadness and said with a giggle, "Brother Chen, when you leave, you must say goodbye to me and grandpa! Let me and grandpa send you off! Don't suddenly leave without saying a word, okay?"
Chen Xun nodded and smiled. "Okay."
.....
The moon is black and the wind is high.
Old Li and Li Yuan fell asleep early.
Chen Xun was inside the house.
Chen Xun slowly opened his eyes on the bed, and then his figure slowly dissipated.
At the same time, in the official prison.
The two jailers were also fast asleep. In this sealed prison, even without their guards, the prisoners could not escape.
The prisoners in the prison were basically asleep.
Only three prisoners, across the cold iron fence, looked at each other with no light in their eyes.
These three prisoners were naturally Da Wei, Xu Qiang and Skinny Monkey who had just been brought in today.
"Skinny Monkey, it's all your fault. What kind of bad idea did you think of that caused us to go to jail for two years. Sigh! If I had known that it would be more feasible to directly rob and run!"
Xu Qiang sighed and said.
When Skinny Monkey heard this, he said angrily, "Second Brother, you can't blame me for this, right? My plan is definitely feasible. I can only blame the time for being too hasty and we prepared too little. Who would have expected that the black tiger's body surface was not injured?!"
Xu Qiang nodded silently and said, "What you said is also true. It seems that what Chen Xun said is true. It is estimated that it was really the work of an immortal. The injuries of the black tiger should be inside the body."
Da Wei's eyes gradually focused, unable to say: "Alright, you guys don't have to say, things have come to this, or honestly squat for two years in prison."
Now, all aspects of marrying a daughter-in-law will be postponed for another two years. How many two years are there in life?
"Hiss~"
Perhaps the wound was involved, and David gasped in pain.
Skinny Monkey pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Big brother, second brother, after we go out, we must not let go of that Chen Xun. Our fate is all because of him! Humph!"
Hearing this, Da Wei and Xu Qiang's eyes moved and did not say anything.
In fact, they also knew that this fate was their own fault, but they just couldn't swallow this tone.
What if I can't swallow this breath?
They can't go to the town lord and the yamen, right? They don't dare to!
Then I can only find Chen Xun to vent.
What did I do to cause you to hold such grudges? "
Suddenly, an ethereal voice sounded in Da Wei's ears.
The three of Da Wei suddenly felt a tingle. They looked around for the first time, and then looked at each other in surprise. They all saw the horror in each other's eyes!
Until a young man appeared out of thin air like a ghost...
Da Wei's pupils suddenly contracted and they leaned back in fright!
Chen Chen Xun!!
