Unparalleled Concubine

The seed of hatred germinated in this young man's heart.

Chapter 7

When Li Xin returned to the cabin under the North Mountain, the sky had already dimmed.

Yes, this journey that originally only took an hour, he went from noon to evening, because he was injured.

Although the girl surnamed Ye didn't hit him head-on, she just "rubbed" him, but the fast galloping horse made him fall several meters on the Qingshi Road on Desheng Street, and his elbows and knees The part of the body was worn out with several holes, and several bloody holes were dripping with blood.

This kind of wound didn't hurt very much when he was first injured, but it would hurt more and more afterward, especially because the clothes on Li Xin's body were very thin, so it was quite difficult for him to walk back.

In the second half, he had to wrap the newly bought quilt around his body, and then reluctantly walked back to the cabin at the foot of the mountain.

After returning to the cabin, Li Xin sat down next to the charcoal-burning stove. At this time, the old charcoal seller was filling some chopped old bamboo into the stove. The fire in the room made Li Xin almost freeze to death. His body gradually warmed up.

The charcoal seller first glanced at Li Xin, then saw the scarlet blood on his leg, coughed and said, "Have you been bullied?"

This world is not peaceful. In fact, due to the lack of informatization, the law and order in any dynasty in ancient times was not very good. A young man like Li Xin walked alone and was beaten or robbed. That's nothing more than normal.

Li Xin stretched out his hands towards the stove, and after warming his hands, he took a few deep breaths, and forced a smile at the old charcoal seller: "No, on the way back, I fell quite a bit."

Those who bumped into him were obviously either rich or noble, and those people were people that the old charcoal seller would never get in touch with in his life. If Li Xin told the truth about it, the old man might drive him out of fear of the rich and powerful. go out.

The old man glanced at Li Xin calmly, his voice hoarse: "Then your fall was not easy."

Before Li Xin could answer, the old man continued to ask, "Have you sold all the charcoal?"

Li Xin nodded.

"All sold out, one hundred cents a piece."

Having said that, Li Xin took out a bunch of copper coins with two or three hundred wen left from his pocket and put them on the table beside him, then he smiled brightly at the old man.

"Old man, the family in the city will continue to ask for this kind of animal charcoal. From now on, it will be a hundred yuan a piece. We will live a good life."

Cui Jiuniang's promise to Li Xin is Li Xin's confidence in rejecting Li Chun's "compensation". If Cui Jiuniang hadn't left such a way of making money for Li Xin, then at noon, no matter how depressed Li Xinxin was, he would not Will reject Li Chun's piece of gold.

People live in this world, face is very important, and ambition in the heart is also very important, but in the face of life and death, these things are not worth mentioning.

After listening to Li Xin's words, the charcoal seller's expression also moved slightly. He had seen Li Xin make those animal charcoals. The two pieces of animal charcoal added together would not exceed one catty. The catty was only sold for ten Wen, that is to say, in Li Xin's hands, the price of these charcoals had doubled by twenty times.

The old man took a deep look at Li Xin, his hoarse voice couldn't hide his excitement.

"You are a capable child..."

Li Xin smiled slightly, leaned his body towards the stove, and then slowly closed his eyes.

He is thinking about a problem.

That's why I was so angry when I met Li Chun during the day. Logically speaking, he just came to this world not long ago, and he and Li Chun are completely strangers. With a disadvantaged character, he might just lie on the ground and blackmail this young master of Pingnanhou's mansion. He would never pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and refuse that huge sum of compensation.

But at that time, there was a surge of anger in his heart for no reason.

After thinking about it, it may be another reason why Li Xin's will has not completely dissipated?

After roasting for a while, Li Xin struggled to move his injured arm, and opened the bag behind him. Inside were a pair of cotton shoes with some dirt on it, and a jacket that was not particularly thick. Li Xin He stretched out his hand and called the charcoal girl over, and said with a soft smile, "Come on, Niuniu, brother bought this for you, try it on."

Cotton clothes in this era are not cheap, so the regular money Li Xin earns is not enough to buy two sets of clothes.

In this world, there are certainly many absolute egoists, but Li Xin has not reached that level. He can't see a five or six-year-old girl, bruised and purple from the cold, walking in the snow in straw sandals. .

So he bought a quilt for himself, a pair of cotton shoes and a cotton coat for the little girl.

Anyway, as long as we get through this night and get more "beast charcoal" tomorrow, we can roughly prepare the three people's winter equipment.

The charcoal girl looked shyly at the cotton shoes in Li Xin's hand, and didn't dare to come over.

Children from poor families are often born with some inferiority complex.

This kind of inferiority complex will make a person feel constrained in doing things, and he can't let go of his words and deeds. This is one of the reasons why poor families rarely give birth to noble children. The reason why Cui Jiuniang looks at Li Xin highly is because of Li Xin's neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled without forcing, then stuffed the shoes and cotton coat into the hands of the old man, hugged the newly bought quilt, and limped back to his own bed.

It is said to be a bed, but it is actually a "nest" made of straw. Last night, this nest made Li Xin sleepless all night.

I don't know if it was because of being "dead" from the cold, Li Xin became very afraid of the cold.

But now with a warm quilt, Li Xin fell asleep comfortably.

In the dream, another memory of Li Xin was placed in front of Li Xin like video clips one by one.

In the dream, Li Xin saw this unlucky boy being denounced as a bastard by the people of the Pingnanhou Mansion, saw the domestic slaves driven out by the Pingnanhou Mansion, saw him and his uncle curled up in the ruined temple, Trembling all over.

So he woke up in the middle of the night.

Li Xin opened his eyes and shrank into the warm blanket.

Originally, he was just an outsider, and he only had a little sympathy for what happened to another Li Xin, but now, he actually felt some empathy.

He could even recall the coldness in that ruined temple.

Li Xin closed his eyes slowly, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

According to his original plan, he only wanted to earn some money, and then see if he could return to the world of feasting and feasting. If not, he would live well in this world, but now, he wanted to help a group of people who were frozen alive Dead hapless boy.

Thinking of this, Li Xin whispered softly.

"If there is a chance, I will give it a try, but it is just a try, there is no guarantee that it will be successful..."

Chapter 8

For the next period of time, Li Xin did very simple things every day. The charcoal seller was in charge of burning charcoal, he was in charge of carving, carving animal charcoal in the afternoon and evening, and then sent it to Deyilou in the morning of the next day. At that time, the things he carved were only [-]% similar. After a few days, the animal charcoal he made was different from the original animal charcoal except for the weight.

For the sake of fineness, he slowed down the carving speed, and he could probably make more than a dozen yuan a day, but the appearance is enough to distinguish the real one from the real one. Jiuniang from Deyilou is also very satisfied with this kind of counterfeit goods. They are very crisp.

After all, there are almost no poor people who come to the Deyi Building. They are all knowledgeable people. When they see what looks like animal charcoal burning in the copper furnace, and smell the faint fragrance in the room, even if the Qing people don't say , They can also guess what is burning in the stove, and when they give money, they will naturally be more generous.

This kind of life lasted for more than ten days. During more than ten days, each piece of counterfeit goods was one hundred yuan, and Li Xin received more than ten copper coins. Guan Qian's appearance can be regarded as the glorious food and clothing people in this era from the penniless poor boy at the beginning.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and it had been half a month since Li Xin came to this world. At noon this day, after Li Xin finished his meal, he carried his bamboo basket on his back as usual, and was about to leave for the city.

At this time, he was no longer the poor man in single clothes, but he was wrapped in two thick cotton clothes to block all the severe cold outside.

The charcoal girl, who was only as tall as Li Xin's waist, ran out of the yard in a panic, holding a hot water bottle in her hand, put the water bag full of boiling water in Li Xin's hand, and smiled sweetly : "Brother, take this and come back earlier."

This water bag was bought by Li Xin in the capital a few days ago. It is made of unknown animal fur. It can be kept warm for half a day after being filled with hot water. It can be worn on the body in winter to keep warm.

After half a month of getting along, the little girl is not as shy as before. Now when she sees Li Xin, she always calls her brother.
