Chapter 2
Thinking of this, Tang Hao picked up the wine bottle in his hand and was about to continue drinking to drown his sorrows, but at this time, a small white hand grabbed his wrist.
"Dad, drink less. Drinking too much is not good for your health."
Seeing the small white hand on the wrist that was in sharp contrast with his bronze skin color, Tang Hao raised his head and looked at Tang Yin with a hint of trance in his eyes.
When I was with Ah Yin before, Ah Yin would dissuade me like this every time I had a drink. It was so similar to the scene now.
Shaking his head and getting rid of the chaotic thoughts, Tang Hao's wrist gently broke away from Tang Yin's hand, then raised the wine bottle, drank the wine in the bottle in several gulps, and then wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth. stains.
"It's okay, it's the last bottle anyway."
Looking at his father holding a bowl of porridge, Tang Yin was stunned. The last bottle?Is the alcoholic dad's life exhausted? But that's good. At least he won't have more bruises on his body when he calls him in the future.
However, the inventory is running out, which means that the family is really out of money. It is time to find a way to make some money. I was planning to find a job before, but unfortunately I was delayed by the many things at home, but now these things must be put aside. Because the only money left at home is a few copper coins in my pocket.
As for what kind of job to look for, Tang Yin thought carefully about it. Because this is a rural area, there are not many jobs. The ideal thing is to work as a clerk in a store such as a grocery store.
I looked at my own attributes in the system and found that the two highest ones were cooking and sewing. However, I excluded restaurants or taverns first because although I had nearly [-] cooking points, I only knew how to cook because of the limited materials at home. Porridge, so people definitely won’t ask for it when you go to a restaurant, so it’s sewing.
I remember that Aunt Yang's garment shop in the village was run by Aunt Yang alone, and there were often times when she was too busy, so if she applied for the job by herself, she should have a good chance of success.
Let's go and have a look tomorrow, Tang Yin made up his mind.
It's a pity that Tang Yin soon learned what it means to be judged by God...
"Aunt Yang." After breakfast, Tang Yin came to the door of Aunt Yang's clothing store and called sweetly to Aunt Yang who was making clothes inside.
"It's Xiao Yin, why do you have time to come to Auntie today?" Seeing Tang Yin appear at the door, Aunt Yang immediately put down her work, held Tang Yin on her lap, and after being intimate for a while, she became curious. asked.
Looking at Tang Yin's beautiful face and long blue hair that reached her back, Aunt Yang felt the lubrication in her hands and couldn't help braiding Tang Yin's hair. She softly hummed an unknown tune in her mouth. The picture is as beautiful as a painting.
"Aunt Yang, I want to be an apprentice with you, is that okay?" Tang Yin turned to look at Aunt Yang, hoping she would agree directly.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, Aunt Yang stopped moving her hands and frowned: "Xiao Yin, why do you want to be an apprentice with Auntie?"
"That...that..." Tang Yin didn't know what to say. Did he tell the other party that his family had no money, so he wanted to come to her to find a job to earn money to support his family?
Seeing Tang Yin's evasive words, Aunt Yang immediately understood what was going on. She must have run out of money at home, so she wanted to be an apprentice here. If she wanted to make some money, she had to know how to be an apprentice here. The salary is the highest.
Looking at Tang Yin's young face and clear eyes, Aunt Yang sighed, put Tang Yin down, and then entered the back room.
Tang Yin was a little confused. Why did Aunt Yang enter the back room?Did she agree to be her apprentice?
He scratched his head, but felt that his hair had been braided into small braids by Aunt Yang in a short period of time. He hurriedly pulled his hair and untied the braids. He was not a girl, so why did he need braids?
Just when Tang Yin was fighting with Braid, Aunt Yang came out of the back room, walked to Tang Yin, and grabbed Tang Yin's hand: "Xiao Yin, apprenticeship is very hard, and you are too young, so Auntie can't agree , but you should keep the money for emergencies first, and then come to your aunt to get it when you use it up."
Tang Yin was stunned when he saw the dozen silver soul coins in his hand. After realizing it, he hurriedly returned the money to Aunt Yang. He came here to find a job, not money: "Aunt, I can't accept this money. It’s not easy for you to make money, I can’t take your money, as long as you agree to my apprenticeship here, I’ll be satisfied!”
"Xiao Yin, just accept what Auntie gives you!" Aunt Yang forcefully put the money into Tang Yin's pocket: "You are still too young, Auntie's work here requires you to stay up late, and the needles and threads here are very good. It’s still too dangerous for you, so I can’t agree to the apprenticeship.”
"Aunt, I..." Tang Yin wanted to defend himself and tell Aunt Yang that his sewing skills were not bad, but Aunt Yang didn't give him a chance to speak: "Okay, I'll let you take it. Just keep it, otherwise Auntie will be angry, and you can come to Auntie's place to play anytime you want in the future, but Auntie will never agree to it as an apprentice!"
In fact, Aunt Yang's concern is very simple. The most painful thing about making clothes is the hands. Look at the dense pinholes on her fingertips and the deformed nails, and look at Tang Yin's white and tender little hands. Aunt Yang really doesn't want to let it go. Tang Yin should suffer this. After all, every part of Tang Yin's body looks so perfect. If there are shortcomings, it will be difficult for this child to find a good family in the future.
"Okay." Seeing Aunt Yang's firm look, Tang Yin had no choice but to put the money in his pocket and stop mentioning the apprenticeship.
"Well, that's good." Seeing that Tang Yin did as she asked, Aunt Yang smiled and touched Tang Yin's smooth long hair, then knelt down and kissed Tang Yin on the face.
After staying at Aunt Yang's place for a while, Tang Yin came out of the clothing store and looked at the sun that had not risen much in the sky. After confirming the time, he was ready to go elsewhere to see if he could find a job.
Looking at Tang Yin's somewhat lonely back, Aunt Yang sighed again. While feeling sorry for Tang Yin, her dissatisfaction with Tang Hao once again rose to a higher level. She let a child go out to find work to support the family while she was lying at home. How could such a good child end up with such a father? How unfair is God! ! !
Tang Yin, who didn't know that he had caused a wave of hatred for his alcoholic father, continued to wander around the village, wanting to see where he could have a better chance of getting a job.
Seeing Grandpa Zhang and Tang Yin making candy on the street, his eyes lit up again and he walked over...
"..." After a long time, Tang Yin looked at the few more Silver Soul Coins in his hand, his face speechless.
Grocery store......
Butcher shop......
Restaurants, pubs...
After going around, Tang Yin looked at the more than 100 Gintama coins in his pocket and didn't know what to say. He came out to find work, but in the end it looked like he was here to collect protection money...
However, Tang Yin also secretly remembered the good deeds of the villagers in his heart, and should repay the kindness of a drop of water with a spring of water. When conditions permit, he will definitely repay them well in the future!
Let's go check out other stores tomorrow. He looked at the sun again and confirmed that it was already past ten o'clock. Tang Yin was going to go back and make lunch.
Looking at Tang Yin's back, a group of people kept cursing Tang Hao while feeling sorry for Tang Yin. What kind of evil did God have to do to let such a good child have such a rogue and useless father! ! !
The next day Tang Yin worked hard for another day. After harvesting dozens more Gintama coins, Tang Yin finally found a job, helping to sell fruits in Uncle Li's fruit shop in the village. As for the salary, Uncle Li gave him a Twenty Gintama coins per month.
Faced with the salary of twenty silver soul coins, Tang Yin shook his head. It was not too little, but too much. In Douluo Continent, the exchange ratio between gold, silver and copper soul coins is one to one hundred, and In a village like Holy Soul Village, the average family's annual expenses are only about two to three gold soul coins. Twenty silver soul coins a month, which is more than two gold soul coins in a year, is completely enough. My family's expenses are high, but the average apprentice salary in other shops in the village is only a few Gintama coins. I earn twenty Gintama coins a month. You can imagine how much loss Uncle Li will suffer. With such a salary If you accept it, your conscience will definitely be uneasy.
So Tang Yin and Uncle Li discussed it. Tang Yin's ideal salary was six or seven Gintama coins a month, but Uncle Li insisted on twenty Gintama coins a month. After arguing for a long time, the two of them took a step back. Fifteen Gintama coins a month.
This was Uncle Li's biggest concession. Uncle Li said that if it was any less, he would not agree to Tang Yin coming to work in the store, so Tang Yin could only reluctantly accept it, but Tang Yin also knew that he owed this favor. Big.
In fact, what Boss Li of the fruit shop originally wanted to give was not twenty Gintama coins, but thirty. You must know that Tang Yin is a sight in the village. No one would hate such a sensible and beautiful girl. Tang Yin will not be stingy with that little bit of kindness. Of course, there will inevitably be some other little thoughts in it.
Sensible, filial, caring for the family, and beautiful. The combination of these points will make everyone's heart beat. Everyone wants to marry such a girl home. Whether it is a daughter-in-law or a child bride, it is perfect. Of course, it is inevitable. There will be other people with dirty minds.
And although Tang Yin grew up in the village, people in the village didn't see him often. They usually came out to see Tang Hao when Tang Yin came out to see Tang Hao, his drunken father-in-law who had gone drinking somewhere, or because he was having a break at home. He would only come out when he could borrow food. At other times, Tang Yin was usually busy with endless housework at home.
Therefore, once the villagers know that Tang Yin is working here, he will definitely come around to see more of him. Even if it is not to buy fruit, who can guarantee that he will never buy it if there is a large amount of people?Fruit sales will naturally increase by then, so Boss Li, who thought of this from the beginning, had a monthly salary of thirty Gintama coins as the bottom line.
As a boss, he naturally knows the principle of hunger marketing, so after discussing with Tang Yin, Tang Yin came up with specific working hours. After breakfast every morning, he would come to the store to help at around six o'clock, and then at around eleven o'clock noon. I can get off work and go back to make lunch without having to come over in the afternoon.
Working for more than four hours a day, and then earning fifteen Gintama coins a month, Tang Yin did not agree. He really wanted to find a way to support his family, not to take advantage of favors. Besides, Tang Yin was not that kind of person. people.
Finally, after Boss Li's hard persuasion, Tang Yin reluctantly agreed, but he also put forward the condition of reducing wages, but Boss Li did not agree.
Just like that, Tang Yin officially started working selling fruits at the same time the next day.
In the morning, after the first person saw Tang Yin's figure in the fruit shop, he spread the word to others. More than an hour later, there were many people outside the fruit shop, mostly children, and children were very interested in fruits. The one who was the least resistant looked at Tang Yin and the fresh fruits beside Tang Yin and swallowed his saliva, and then begged his parents to buy some fruits.
Seeing that the fruit sales in just two or three hours were comparable to the previous two or three days, Boss Li showed a smile of success on his face.
Ever since Tang Yin started working in the fruit shop, the villagers would always walk in the direction of the fruit shop unconsciously every morning when they took a leisurely walk.
Looking at the little figure busy in the fruit shop, many people will always show dreamy smiles from time to time.
Although he doesn't like having so many people watching him work, since he has accepted the kindness from others, he naturally has to work hard, so Tang Yin works hard in the fruit shop and is scrambling to do all the work. , they are also particularly enthusiastic about the villagers who come to buy fruits.
"Grandpa Li, are you here to buy fruit? You have a cough recently. You can buy some pears and add some rock sugar to boil them to make rock sugar snow pears. It is the most nourishing and moisturizing lungs. It is the best for your cough..."
"Sister Yang, what do you want to buy? What, you want to buy some fruits that can help you lose weight? Then buy some bananas, slice them and soak them in vinegar. Eat some every morning and evening. It's the best way to lose weight..."
"Grandma Lina, if you want to buy some apples, these soft apples are the most suitable. They have a soft texture and are the most suitable for you and Grandpa Jack to eat..."
Seeing Tang Yin's sweet smile and the soft voice coming out of her ruddy mouth, Lina couldn't help but agree.
After receiving a positive reply from Grandma Lina, Tang Yin ran over and started weighing the apples with a smile. As he ran, a touch of ice blue spread behind Tang Yin's head from time to time, forming a rainbow-like streak under the sunlight. Lina couldn't help but be fascinated by the rainbow light.
"Grandma Lina, your apple." When Tang Yin's voice sounded, Lina woke up from her sluggish state, took the bag in Tang Yin's hand, Lina knelt down and pinched Tang Yin's little face lovingly, Then he kissed Tang Yin's cheek amidst Tang Yin's laughter, and finally touched Tang Yin's head, and then walked out of the fruit shop.
On the way home, Lina secretly made up her mind, what a lovely girl, she must be adopted, and let the old guy Jack go talk to that lazy Tang Hao. If he still fails, let him live every day. Come back and kneel on the washboard!
Tang Yin didn't know that he had brought a new disaster to Old Jack, and was still busy in the fruit shop with a smile. But Old Jack, who was wandering around the village with nothing to do, shivered, feeling as if some big disaster was about to happen. .
A week later, the fruit shop owner Li was pleasantly surprised to find that with Tang Yin, the fruit shop's one-week sales had caught up with the previous month and a half sales. The happy boss Li was ready to give Tang Yin a salary increase, but Tang Yin did not accept it.
Seeing Tang Yin's attitude, Boss Li was happy but also a little worried. Everyone else has probably seen the benefits of Tang Yin's working in the fruit shop. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't come over to poach him, just in case Tang Yin is tempted. It is estimated that the business of his fruit shop will return to its previous state, so he must find a way to keep Tang Yin.
Seeing that Tang Yin did not accept the salary increase, Boss Li came up with another idea. Every day at noon when Tang Yin was ready to go home from work, Boss Li would wrap some fruits for Tang Yin to take back. At first Tang Yin refused to accept it, but Later, under Boss Li's tough attitude, he reluctantly accepted it. From then on, Tang San began to have fruits to supplement his vitamins every day.
Seeing his family's life gradually getting better, Tang Yin was filled with joy. He felt that the system's tasks could be easily completed. Before Tang San's martial spirit awakened, he could ensure the family's food and clothing with the help of the shop owners when he was looking for a job. With the support of money and current salary, it was easy to persevere for a year, but Tang Yin soon learned what it means to be as good as God. The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.
Half a month later, near noon, Tang Yin, who was about to get off work, sat in the store and stared at the street outside in a daze. He was worried about money.
When I was looking for a job, I got more than 100 Gintama coins, which is almost more than one gold soul coin, but I didn't expect that the drunkard dad found out and took half of it without saying a word, and exchanged it all for wine, and started again The days of "you are drunk now, don't worry about what is right or wrong tomorrow" are over.
Seeing that Tang Hao continued to live in drunken dreams, Tang Yin was helpless. He originally wanted to talk to his alcoholic father and ask him to drink less in the future, but his father had too little time to be awake every day. He said that he was talking about him and avoided answering Tang Yin's questions directly. Later, when Tang Yin saw that he couldn't control it, he simply ignored it and said, "You can drink whatever you want."
Unfortunately, a few days ago, Tang Yin accidentally saw that the alcoholic father's "inventory" was reduced by half, and he began to feel sad again. In just a few days, half of the wine bought with dozens of Gintama coins was lost. It was estimated that the entire inventory might not be able to last for a month, and Tang Yin began to worry about money.
Originally, Tang Yin thought that the Gintama coins in his hand plus salary could cover the family's expenses for four to five months. Unfortunately, Tang Yin missed Tang Hao's obsession with wine when calculating the accounts. Now all the money added up can cover the family's expenses for four to five months. Supporting the family for two months is good, but what happens after the money runs out?Will the family return to its previous state of being hungry and full?
How can it be!
No one can stop me from getting that 10-year-old soul ring, no one can!
I don’t have enough money, right? I just have to find a way to make money. Tang Yin doesn’t believe that a living person can be choked to death by urinating!
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. After thinking for several days, Tang Yin still didn't think of any faster way to get money. In addition, Tang Yin refused to sneak around, so after thinking hard for several days, he still couldn't think of any way.
At this moment, a figure walked up the street, and something on the figure's shoulders made Tang Yin's eyes light up.
How stupid am I to have forgotten this!Tang Yin beat his head in annoyance, and then laughed happily again.
Life in Douluo Continent is similar to that in ancient China, so the fuels of ordinary village families on Douluo Continent are basically two types, grass and firewood.
Grass is ordinary straw or wheat straw, while firewood is dead wood or dead branches in the mountains. Most villagers in Douluo Continent prefer the latter because it is resistant to burning, so this has also given rise to a special profession---woodcutter. husband.
The woodcutter cuts firewood from the mountains and sells it to others. Generally, the price of two loads of firewood is eighty copper soul coins, and these two loads of firewood can be used by an average family for four to five days. Four or five days cost eighty copper soul coins. The coins are really not expensive, which makes the woodcutter's business very prosperous. Cutting four loads of firewood a day costs 160 copper soul coins, one and a half silver soul coins, and more than four gold soul coins in a year, which is enough for a family. expenses.
I go to work in the morning and go to the mountains to chop firewood in the afternoon. With my strength greater than that of an average adult, four loads of firewood in an afternoon is definitely not a problem. I can sell it cheaper, charging only fifty copper soul coins for two loads of firewood. Someone definitely wants it, so that I can earn one Gintama Coin at the end of the day, which is definitely enough to support my family’s expenses!
Just do it. That afternoon, Tang Yin took the rusty hatchets and axes at home. After grinding them until they were shiny on the whetstone, he started to cut firewood in the mountains, just to find a new way to make money. The complacent Tang Yin did not notice that there was a figure following him on his way into the mountain.
The figure moved and turned in the tree crown above Tang Yin's head, but there was no sound of wind at all. It was silent and did not even disturb the birds resting on the tree.
After wandering around in the mountains, Tang Yin found his target, a dead tree about the thickness of a calf. The reason why he only found trees with such a small thickness was because he was currently restricted by height, and he cut down trees that were too big at a corresponding time. Much slower than adults, so you can only choose trees that are much thinner.
Stretching his arms, he took a deep breath, feeling the sweet air filling his nose. Tang Yin sighed, Douluo's environment was indeed much better than on Earth, and the air was full of filth when breathing in later generations. The air is so much better.
Picking up the axe, Tang Yin began to chop down the tree vigorously. As a family that uses firewood, Tang Yin naturally knows what kind of wood is resistant to burning. He knows what kind of wood and firewood other woodcutter sells, so he chooses the target. They are all trees that are easier to sell.
A woodcutter chops down a tree with several consecutive blows, then uses a hatchet to cut off the forked branches, then chops the tree into several sections with an axe, and then splits each section of wood into several pieces. The firewood was sold.
Looking at Tang Yin who was sweating profusely below, Tang Hao on the top of the tree clenched his fists silently, then loosened his fists, sighed, and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
It took more than an hour to finally arrange two bundles of firewood. Tang Yin used a stick to pick up the firewood and carried it back. Due to his height limitation, Tang Yin was not bundled vertically like the firewood sold by other woodcutter. , Tang Yin's firewood was stacked horizontally, then tied up, and then he inserted the stick inside and carried it back.
Since firewood placed horizontally is not as easy to control as vertical firewood, Tang Yin walked for half an hour in order to carry the two bundles of firewood back, which usually took more than ten minutes.
As a necessity, firewood is naturally easy to sell. Tang Yin just asked a few houses and sold the firewood in his hand. However, the price was different from what Tang Yin expected. Seeing that it was Tang Yin who came to sell firewood, he bought the firewood. The hostess of the house was stunned and gave Tang Yin twenty more copper soul coins.
Seeing the twenty extra copper soul coins in his hand, Tang Yin refused without thinking. Because of his body size limitations and to prevent the villagers from treating him as a monster, his own bundle of firewood was better than other woodcutter's firewood. It's one-third less, but it's only ten copper soul coins cheaper than other woodcutters. How is this possible!
If he really does this, others will attack him out of embarrassment once or twice, but as time goes by, no one will buy his firewood anymore. Giving up long-term plans for short-term benefits is completely worth the loss, so Tang Yin She refused directly, but the hostess still forced the seventy copper soul coins into Tang Yin's hand, telling Tang Yin that the extra coins were given to him by herself. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Tang Yin had to take the money and give Qian En Thank you very much for leaving.
Seeing Tang Yin leaving happily, the hostess of the house blurred her eyes with tears. A child over five years old had to go up the mountain to cut firewood to sell for money, and a girl over five years old was doing adult work to support her. Family, how can we not make people feel distressed!
The most important thing is that Tang Hao, that lazy drunkard, is willing to let his five-year-old child chop wood to support the family. What kind of scum can do such a thing?
Wiping away the tears on her face and watching Tang Yin's back disappear, the hostess cursed fiercely, and the target of the curse was none other than Tang Yin's father, Tang Hao.
Woodcutter is a special profession born under special living environment. The living standard in Douluo Continent is very close to the feudal society of China, so the choice of fuel is not as diverse as it is today, and people's choices are only firewood and coal.
Firewood is the main fuel choice for the common people, while coal is the choice for some special industries, such as iron smelting and forging, that is, the blacksmith industry. Charcoal, which is resistant to burning and has less soot, is the exclusive fuel for the rich, so among the common people The profession of woodcutter, who makes a living by selling firewood, only appears among the upper class.
Woodcutter is a profession that combines many contradictions. They are united but fight endlessly internally, and they are very exclusive externally but try to attract others.
The reason why it is like this is because of the issue of interests. The internal unity is because generally the woodcutter in each village is a local of the village. In order to prevent outsiders from stealing the business, they are very united. The reason for the constant fighting is because there are so many woodcutters in the village. Households basically remain unchanged for decades, so these woodcutters have demarcated each person's customer range. You belong to which households and I belong to which households.
Although everyone's customer scope has been defined, no one will dislike their own interests, so when they provide firewood to their fixed customers, they are also playing tricks on other customers. Tang Yin himself I have seen several times where a woodcutter was beaten to a bloody head because he "crossed the line".
Fixed customers can only support fixed woodcutter, so they will be very exclusive. When foreign woodcutter intervenes in the local area, warnings, threats, and beatings will come one after another to drive away the foreign woodcutter. In addition, the woodcutter's job is very simple and anyone with a little strength can do it, so the local woodcutter will try to rope in his relatives or friends to work together to seize more benefits.
This is the woodcutter's group, a very contradictory group!
The number of woodcutter in a village like Saint Soul Village is naturally fixed. If you want new woodcutter to appear, only when a certain woodcutter feels that he can't do it, he will recommend his relatives or friends to join. Otherwise, they will come in without authorization. You will face countless difficulties.
However, the woodcutter of Saint Soul Village chose to remain silent or ignore Tang Yin, a little guy who suddenly appeared and started robbing business, and admitted that this little guy who came to robbing business was one of them.
The reason why they are like this is because of the following reasons.
One is because they can't bear it. At such a young age, they have to endure such heavy labor that only adults can afford to support their family. They see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts. A little child has done it for his family. How about this level?
The second reason is because they feel that Tang Yin is too young. Tang Yin will definitely not be able to bear such a heavy workload and will definitely give up in a short time. Why should they be evil people?
The third and most critical point is, they don’t dare!
There is a saying that no one is perfect, and nothing is perfect in the world. Some people will like you, and some will hate you. You cannot be liked by everyone, but Tang Yin was loved by everyone in Holy Soul Village. Personally, I only have a feeling of love for Tang Yin, so Tang Yin can boast that he has won the hearts of everyone in the Holy Soul Village. For such a little guy, even if you have a little bit of malice towards him If you tend to, then you will face the verbal criticism of everyone in the village and have your back poked every day. Such people will no longer be able to live in the Holy Soul Village, so the woodcutter who likes Tang Yin very much will naturally choose Ignore Tang Yin, this little guy who suddenly appears to grab business.
Not only did they acquiesce in Tang Yin's joining, they even gave him some help and guidance when they met Tang Yin, such as telling Tang Yin what postures were easy to cut down trees, what kind of binding methods were not easy to fall apart, and even when Tang Yin When carrying firewood to find someone who needed firewood, he told Tang Yin which family needed firewood.
In this way, with Tang Yin's efforts, the family's savings kept up with Tang Hao's consumption, and they were even able to save some.
The conditions at home slowly improved with Tang Yin's efforts. Even if Tang Hao was still drunk every day, even if Tang San was still obsessed with practicing every day, and even if there were two people in the family consuming money, Tang Yin still managed the entire family by himself. The family has been able to support itself, and its life is no different from that of other ordinary families in the village.
Moreover, under the guidance of other woodcutters, Tang Yin also learned to build some small traps to catch small animals such as pheasants and rabbits. Every now and then, he could always get some meat for the family.
Seeing Tang San's little face that used to bring some dishes slowly turned rosy due to the nourishment of meat, Tang Yin felt so happy. Plus, after becoming rich, there were a lot of ingredients for Tang Yin to practice cooking. The cooking points that had been stuck for a long time have now exceeded the sixty mark and are slowly moving towards seventy. Tang Yin could not be more satisfied.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Tang Yin was rolling up his sleeves and trying hard to deal with a thigh-thick dead tree. As the ax blade continued to fall, the gap in the tree was visible to the naked eye. It was late autumn and the temperature was already approaching. It was extremely cold, but Tang Yin's clothes were soaked with sweat.
More than half a year of high-intensity labor did not change Tang Yin's body shape at all. If it were someone else's six months of high-intensity labor, they would have gained a strong body of muscles, but Tang Yin still looked so thin, lifting the hem of his clothes After wiping the sweat from his face, Tang Yin leaned down and continued cutting down the tree.
When Tang Yin lifted up his hem to expose his abdomen, he could still see his tight lower abdomen without any trace of muscle. Tang Yin was also quite surprised at this point. Originally, he wanted to build some muscles to change his current appearance of weakness. However, no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't achieve the image of a girl. Tang Yin had to give up the plan to study further, but he knew that the current situation was probably caused by the system, because the system had told him before that only perfection could be achieved. Only your body type can show your charm...
As the last few axes fell, the big tree finally fell with a harsh cracking sound. Tang Yin began to change the hatchet to clean the branches on the tree. Originally, Tang Yin usually chose dead trees as thick as calves to chop down firewood. Yes, but today several families said that they were running out of firewood, so Tang Yin chose a big tree and planned to chop all the needed firewood at once and then carry it back in several batches.
Holding the branch with his left hand, he kept waving the hatchet in his right hand to trim off the excess branches so that he could split the main trunk into firewood later.
After half a year of continuous use, the wooden handle of the hatchet has been polished extremely smooth by Tang Yin. The long and vigorous chopping has also caused thin cracks to appear on the wooden handle of the hatchet. However, due to Tang Yin's feeling It was easy to use, so he didn't replace it. Soon, Tang Yin regretted his decision.
"Pa!" With another vigorous chop, the wooden handle of the hatchet finally shattered, and the blade flew out and shot towards Tang Yin. Looking at the flying blade, Tang Yin subconsciously stretched out his right hand to grab it, accurately grabbed the blade.
"Ah!" Tang Yin screamed and threw the blade to the ground. He looked at the palm of his hand. The blade of the hatchet cut open several centimeters in the palm of his hand. A wound on the bone could be seen deeply, and red blood was flowing along it. The wound on the palm surged out, flowing from the back of the hand to the ground.
Along with the blood came severe pain. The child's well-developed tear glands made Tang Yin's tears surge down. He held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand and raised his palm in front of him and blew gently on the wound. I opened the system page and wanted to repair the wound.
Looking at the pitiful 35 points in the point column, Tang Yin's tears flowed more violently. If he had known about the current situation, he would not have been too tired to repair his body two days ago!
Since there are not enough points to repair the body, the next best thing is to choose something that can stop the bleeding first.
"System, come out! Can I buy any items that can quickly stop bleeding with the points I have now?" Tang Yin yelled for the system in his mind. Now he was already dizzy due to the rapid blood loss. If he delayed it any longer, he would probably only lose blood. And the fate of death.
"Yes, Zhixue Powder, [-] points for one bottle. It can only stop bleeding but cannot treat wounds. The golden sore medicine that can treat wounds requires [-] points. You don't have enough points to buy it now." After Tang Yin called for the third time, In an instant, the system appeared and recommended the most suitable items to Tang Yin.
"I know, give it to me quickly, or I'll be dead if you delay it any longer!" As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, a white porcelain bottle appeared in front of him. Tang Yin grabbed it, pulled out the cork with his teeth, and drank all the white powder inside. Fell on the wound in the palm of your right hand.
The product produced by the system is indeed excellent. Just a few seconds after it was poured on the wound, the blood stopped flowing. Looking at the red paste mixed with blood and hemostasis powder in the palm of his hand, Tang Yin lifted up the hem of his clothes again, biting a gap with his teeth and then removed it from the clothes. Tear off a strip of cloth and wrap it around your palm.
After the treatment, Tang Yin fell to the ground and breathed heavily to relieve the dizziness caused by the violent bleeding. When the dizziness was not so strong, Tang Yin staggered up from the ground, and then put away the hatchet and ax on the ground. .
Glancing at the tree that fell to the ground, Tang Yin turned around and left staggeringly. The dizziness and weakness caused by the violent bleeding made Tang Yin know that he could no longer afford such physical labor for the time being. What he needed most now was Just rest, your body is the most important thing.
Tang Yin didn't see it. After he left, the medicine bottle he threw away turned into a point of light and disappeared.
"Xiao Yin, what's wrong with you? What happened?" As soon as Tang Yin arrived at the entrance of the village, he met Grandma Lina, who was visiting the house. She was the wife of the old village chief Jack. She looked at the blood stains all over Tang Yin's body and the pale face. He rushed over to hug Tang Yin and asked anxiously.
Looking at Tang Yin's appearance, Lina shed tears of distress. What happened to this child? Did he encounter a wild beast on the road?The blood all over his body has soaked into his clothes. What happened to this child?
Seeing Lina's grandma, Tang Yin also relaxed. The dizziness became more and more serious on the road. When he was approaching the village, his eyes began to turn black. Tang Yin knew that this was the lowering of blood pressure caused by rapid blood loss, and he might be at risk at any time. Fainted, in order to let people discover him quickly so that he could inform his family, Tang Yin managed to reach the village. He only left the words "send me home" in Lina's arms and fainted.
"Come on, come on, help!" Seeing Tang Yin fainted, Lina was so frightened that she was so frightened that she cried loudly and kept calling for people to come over. After Lina's call, someone came over soon. Listen to When Lina said that Tang Yin fainted and saw Tang Yin covered in blood, she hurriedly sent her to the doctor in the village.
While the doctor was treating Tang Yin, someone also ran to notify Tang Hao. They heard someone said that Tang Yin came back covered in blood and fainted. After the doctor went to the doctor for first aid, Tang Hao, who was wondering that Tang Yin hadn't come back to cook, had also disappeared. Being lazy and calm, he directly pushed away the person who informed him and ran out.
Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin, you must not let anything happen to you!Tang Hao, who was on the road, had only this thought in his mind.
When he arrived at the doctor's house and saw the pale Tang Yin lying on the bed wearing only underwear and the bloody clothes thrown aside, Tang Hao slapped himself so hard that half of his cheek was swollen.
You must know that Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo, and his physical fitness is countless times stronger than that of ordinary people. You can imagine how much strength it takes to swell half of his cheeks, and you can also know how regretful Tang Hao is now.
Seeing Tang Hao's actions, Lina, who had been accompanying Tang Yin, stood up and slapped Tang Hao hard again. She pointed at Tang Hao with red eyes, her arms were shaking, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What if Xiao Yin today?" If something happens, I won’t be done with you!”
Even after being slapped by Lina, Tang Hao's eyes did not move away from Tang Yin. Looking at the pale-faced Tang Yin, Tang Hao felt only regret in his heart. Why didn't he follow him today? He was lying at home drinking. If he had followed the past, what happened today would not have happened.
Normally Tang Hao would follow Tang Yin to protect him when Tang Yin went up the mountain to chop firewood, but today when he was taking a nap, he dreamed of the death of his wife A Yin. Feeling hurt by the scene, Tang Hao chose to drink to drown his sorrows. I followed him, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen if I didn't follow him this time.
Tang Hao felt that if there was anything wrong with Tang Yin, he would lose the meaning of living.
In front of Tang Hao, Tang Yin was lying on the bed with a pale face, wearing only a pair of shorts. The reason for this was because Tang Yin's clothes were already stained with blood. The doctor took them off to check if there were anything else on Tang Yin's body. Fortunately, there were no other wounds on the body, and there was no blood on his shorts, so the doctor did not take off Tang Yin's shorts to check, so Tang Yin's gender is still a mystery among the villagers...
Ice blue hip-length hair was spread out, like a blue mat, spread under Tang Yin's body. The cloth strip that originally wrapped the wound on his right hand has been replaced by clean gauze. It can be seen that the wound has been replaced. The medicine was taken, but after all, the doctor's medicine was not as good as the one provided by the system. The white gauze was already slightly red at this time.
"Tang Hao, did you hear me talking to you?!" Seeing Tang Hao ignoring her, Lina's anger increased even more: "Look at you, you know how to feed horses urine all day long, you don't care about anything, you are a useless person Better than you! Look at what this child has done to support this family. He doesn’t have enough food and clothing. This time he almost died outside. If you continue like this, God won’t tolerate it. you!"
Granny Lina's voice brought Tang Hao back from the painful memories. He turned his head and glanced at Granny Lina. Without saying a word, he pulled a blanket from the side and walked around Granny Lina to Tang Yin's bed. He covered it with the blanket. on Tang Yin's body, then picked up Tang Yin and prepared to leave.
"You can't take Xiaoyin away." Lina hurriedly stopped Tang Hao: "Her injuries haven't healed yet, and she still needs a doctor's care. You can't take her away!"
"He is my child. If I want to take him away, no one can stop me!" Tang Hao, the mother-in-law of Lina, did not take a good look at her for blocking him. He snorted coldly and prepared to leave again. Unexpectedly, mother-in-law Lina stopped him again. Got him.
"Your child? Soon it won't be!"
"What do you mean?" After hearing Granny Lina's words, Tang Hao's face turned completely cold and he squinted at Granny Lina in front of him.
"Xiaoyin has suffered too much for your life, and you can't give her a high-quality life, so..." Even when she saw Tang Hao's expression was wrong, Granny Lina did not give in at all, and treated Tang Yin Her love and care suppressed her fear: "Adopt Xiao Yin to me!"
"Don't even think about it!" Tang Hao refused without thinking. Tang Yin is my son, Tang Hao, and no one can take him away from me!
"Tang Hao!" Mother-in-law Lina roared angrily: "How much more hardship do you want this child to suffer for this family? If you are still good for her, just adopt her to me. Jack and I can give her high quality and a happy life, do you understand..."
The doctor inside the house who was getting medicine for Tang Yin also heard the quarrel outside the house and hurriedly came out: "What's going on? What's going on?"
"It's none of your business." Mother-in-law Lina yelled at the doctor, then turned to look at Tang Hao: "Tell me, what do you want to adopt Xiaoyin to me? If you want money, how much do you want? Bar?"
"Although I, Tang Hao, am a useless person, I will never sell my child!" After Tang Hao said this, he hugged Tang Yin and knocked away the watching villagers outside the house and left.
"Tang Hao, come back!" Seeing Tang Hao leaving, Granny Lina wanted to catch up but was stopped by other villagers. After the villagers persuaded Granny Lina, she also gave up her plan to chase Tang Hao and sat down. Sulking in the chair and angry at that useless wife.
When he got home, he put Tang Yin on the bed and told Tang San to watch Tang Yin carefully and call him once Tang Yin woke up. Then Tang Hao returned to his bedroom.
He took out a box from under the bed and blew off the dust accumulated on it. Tang Hao opened the box. Apart from a few pieces of clothing, there were only a few small white bottles in the box. He took out a bottle, uncorked it and poured it into the palm of his hand. , but was shocked to find that the bottle was empty.
No more, how come, I clearly remember that there should be some?
But since the bottle is gone, let's make some freshly prepared. After thinking about the required medicinal materials, Tang Hao got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Those medicines should be growing in the desperate valley a hundred miles away from the Holy Soul Village. If you use all your strength, you should be able to get back before dark.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao told Tang San to go out for a while and come back before dark, then left the house and rushed towards the desperate valley with all his strength.
Late at night, there was silence. Tang Hao was processing medicinal materials in the bedroom, while Tang San fell asleep lying on the bedside. Tang Yin woke up with a low moan.
What he saw when he opened his eyes was the familiar thatched roof at home. Tang Yin realized that he was lying at home now and took two deep breaths. Tang Yin was still a little scared now. Fortunately, he had met Grandma Lina, otherwise It is estimated that no one will know if he dies outside.
Licking his dry lips, Tang Yin felt a little thirsty. He slowly turned his head and saw Tang San sleeping soundly beside the bed. He stretched out his hand and pulled Tang San, asking him to pour him a glass of water. .
Maybe it was because he was too weak now, but there was no movement even after several consecutive pulls on Tang San.
"Mistress." Tang Yin called out, his voice weak and hoarse. As soon as he called out, Tang Yin started coughing violently.
Tang Yin's coughing woke up Tang San. Seeing that Tang Yin was awake, Tang San excitedly grabbed Tang Yin's right hand: "Brother, you finally woke up..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Yin's scream. Tang San happened to grab his injured hand, and the severe pain almost made Tang Yin faint again.
Seeing Tang Yin's appearance, Tang San also reacted and hurriedly let go of Tang Yin's hand: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. By the way, you're awake. I'll call dad..."
After saying that, he hurried out of the bedroom, shouting: "Dad, brother is awake, brother is awake!"
Tang Hao, who was handling the medicinal materials, heard that Tang Yin woke up and immediately threw down the medicine pestle in his hand and came to Tang Yin's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Tang Yin was lying on the bed, struggling to remove the gauze on his right hand. It turned out that Tang Yin had looked at his right hand after Tang San ran out just now. The gauze was already red. It seemed that the wound collapsed again after Tang San scratched it hard.
"What are you doing taking off the gauze? Lie down quickly!" Seeing Tang Yin's movements, Tang Hao came up and pulled Tang Yin's hand away, then pressed Tang Yin to lie down, and wrapped Tang Yin in a quilt to prevent Tang Yin from catching a cold. .
Tang Yin stretched out his right hand to try to explain the situation, but Tang Hao didn't give Tang Yin a chance to speak at all. He grabbed Tang Yin's arm and stuffed Tang Yin's hand back into the quilt: "You just woke up now, don't move!"
Tang Hao's concern warmed Tang Yin's heart, but the pain in his right hand became more and more intense. It was estimated that the wound had completely collapsed. He had to explain the situation now, otherwise he would probably die from Tang Hao's excessive concern later. Too much blood loss.
Once again, he took his right hand out of the quilt with difficulty. Before Tang Hao could grab it, Tang Yin said hoarsely: "The wound... is open..." One sentence exhausted all Tang Yin's strength. After finishing speaking, Tang Yin Silver began to pant rapidly.
Tang Hao and Tang San were frightened when they heard Tang Yin's words. They grabbed Tang Yin's hand and saw that the blood had soaked the gauze and slowly overflowed outwards. The whole right hand turned red again.
Seeing this scene, Tang San was so frightened that he cried. Tang Hao also rushed to his bedroom to get the medicine he made. He even tripped at the door on the way. It is easy to imagine that the titled Douluo would fall. How anxious Tang Hao felt.
After a moment of confusion, Tang Hao applied medicinal powder to the wound on Tang Yin's right hand again, stopping the wound from continuing to bleed.
After applying the medicinal powder, Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He made these medicinal powders himself, and he knew the effect naturally, so he knew that there would be no big problems next and he only needed to rest for a while.
Tang San was still sobbing quietly beside the bed. The collapse of the wound on Tang Yin's hand was entirely caused by his excitement just now. When he thought that he had almost put his brother in danger again, Tang San felt extremely guilty.
Although Tang San has the soul and mind of an adult, Tang San has spent his entire life in panic from knowing that Tang Yin was injured to now. He is very afraid that something unexpected will happen to Tang Yin and he will lose this brother.
In his last life, Tang San was an orphan. He didn't know who his parents were. Although he had the care of the elders in the Tang Sect, Tang San still longed for the care of his parents. Maybe God heard his prayers. After his rebirth, he In this life he had a father.
Maybe God does not allow perfection to exist. Although he has a father in this life, he has no mother. Maybe God feels that he is not worthy of maternal love, but Tang San never expected that the maternal love he thought he would miss would come from his brother. Feel.
In Tang San's heart, his brother was gentle and beautiful, tolerated him, accommodated him, doted on him, put him first in everything, and all conditions were tilted towards him. Everything was so similar to Tang San's positioning of his mother, so in Tang San In San's heart, his brother is not only his brother, but also the embodiment of his mother. To Tang San, his brother is equal to his mother.
Tang San felt so painful that he couldn't help himself when he thought that his brother, who he had almost harmed as much as his mother, was in danger again.
Seeing that Tang San was still sobbing, Tang Yin stretched out his hand and gently touched Tang San's head, comforting him in a hoarse voice: "Xiao San, stop crying. My brother didn't blame you. Don't be sad."
"Yeah." Tang San sniffed hard and hummed. Although he promised Tang Yin not to cry, he couldn't stop the tears looking at his pale brother Tang San.
Seeing that Tang San didn't stop crying, Tang Yin was ready to continue comforting him, but before he could open his mouth, a hungry growl came from his stomach.
Looking at Tang San with some embarrassment, Tang Yin didn't expect to be hungry at this time. It's no wonder, after all, it was lunch, and it was already late at night, and children digested quickly. Now that my stomach is just rumbling, it is already very honorable.
and many more!
Tang Yin was stunned. Did I forget something?
"Xiao San, what time is it now?" Tang Yin hurriedly asked Tang San, praying in his heart that it wouldn't be too late now.
Not too late?Why?
That's because of dinner!I passed out and no one made dinner. It was my task! ! !
"Now?" Tang San tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It's probably around midnight."
child time?
Tang Yin's exhausted body fell heavily on the bed. It's too late, it's too late, it's my mission!
No, wait!
It seems that the system has not notified me that the task evaluation has been downgraded yet. Is it because it has not passed 12 o'clock yet?
That's definitely the case. I should be able to catch up on cooking now. No one can stop me from getting a perfect rating!
(End of this chapter)
Thinking of this, Tang Hao picked up the wine bottle in his hand and was about to continue drinking to drown his sorrows, but at this time, a small white hand grabbed his wrist.
"Dad, drink less. Drinking too much is not good for your health."
Seeing the small white hand on the wrist that was in sharp contrast with his bronze skin color, Tang Hao raised his head and looked at Tang Yin with a hint of trance in his eyes.
When I was with Ah Yin before, Ah Yin would dissuade me like this every time I had a drink. It was so similar to the scene now.
Shaking his head and getting rid of the chaotic thoughts, Tang Hao's wrist gently broke away from Tang Yin's hand, then raised the wine bottle, drank the wine in the bottle in several gulps, and then wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth. stains.
"It's okay, it's the last bottle anyway."
Looking at his father holding a bowl of porridge, Tang Yin was stunned. The last bottle?Is the alcoholic dad's life exhausted? But that's good. At least he won't have more bruises on his body when he calls him in the future.
However, the inventory is running out, which means that the family is really out of money. It is time to find a way to make some money. I was planning to find a job before, but unfortunately I was delayed by the many things at home, but now these things must be put aside. Because the only money left at home is a few copper coins in my pocket.
As for what kind of job to look for, Tang Yin thought carefully about it. Because this is a rural area, there are not many jobs. The ideal thing is to work as a clerk in a store such as a grocery store.
I looked at my own attributes in the system and found that the two highest ones were cooking and sewing. However, I excluded restaurants or taverns first because although I had nearly [-] cooking points, I only knew how to cook because of the limited materials at home. Porridge, so people definitely won’t ask for it when you go to a restaurant, so it’s sewing.
I remember that Aunt Yang's garment shop in the village was run by Aunt Yang alone, and there were often times when she was too busy, so if she applied for the job by herself, she should have a good chance of success.
Let's go and have a look tomorrow, Tang Yin made up his mind.
It's a pity that Tang Yin soon learned what it means to be judged by God...
"Aunt Yang." After breakfast, Tang Yin came to the door of Aunt Yang's clothing store and called sweetly to Aunt Yang who was making clothes inside.
"It's Xiao Yin, why do you have time to come to Auntie today?" Seeing Tang Yin appear at the door, Aunt Yang immediately put down her work, held Tang Yin on her lap, and after being intimate for a while, she became curious. asked.
Looking at Tang Yin's beautiful face and long blue hair that reached her back, Aunt Yang felt the lubrication in her hands and couldn't help braiding Tang Yin's hair. She softly hummed an unknown tune in her mouth. The picture is as beautiful as a painting.
"Aunt Yang, I want to be an apprentice with you, is that okay?" Tang Yin turned to look at Aunt Yang, hoping she would agree directly.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, Aunt Yang stopped moving her hands and frowned: "Xiao Yin, why do you want to be an apprentice with Auntie?"
"That...that..." Tang Yin didn't know what to say. Did he tell the other party that his family had no money, so he wanted to come to her to find a job to earn money to support his family?
Seeing Tang Yin's evasive words, Aunt Yang immediately understood what was going on. She must have run out of money at home, so she wanted to be an apprentice here. If she wanted to make some money, she had to know how to be an apprentice here. The salary is the highest.
Looking at Tang Yin's young face and clear eyes, Aunt Yang sighed, put Tang Yin down, and then entered the back room.
Tang Yin was a little confused. Why did Aunt Yang enter the back room?Did she agree to be her apprentice?
He scratched his head, but felt that his hair had been braided into small braids by Aunt Yang in a short period of time. He hurriedly pulled his hair and untied the braids. He was not a girl, so why did he need braids?
Just when Tang Yin was fighting with Braid, Aunt Yang came out of the back room, walked to Tang Yin, and grabbed Tang Yin's hand: "Xiao Yin, apprenticeship is very hard, and you are too young, so Auntie can't agree , but you should keep the money for emergencies first, and then come to your aunt to get it when you use it up."
Tang Yin was stunned when he saw the dozen silver soul coins in his hand. After realizing it, he hurriedly returned the money to Aunt Yang. He came here to find a job, not money: "Aunt, I can't accept this money. It’s not easy for you to make money, I can’t take your money, as long as you agree to my apprenticeship here, I’ll be satisfied!”
"Xiao Yin, just accept what Auntie gives you!" Aunt Yang forcefully put the money into Tang Yin's pocket: "You are still too young, Auntie's work here requires you to stay up late, and the needles and threads here are very good. It’s still too dangerous for you, so I can’t agree to the apprenticeship.”
"Aunt, I..." Tang Yin wanted to defend himself and tell Aunt Yang that his sewing skills were not bad, but Aunt Yang didn't give him a chance to speak: "Okay, I'll let you take it. Just keep it, otherwise Auntie will be angry, and you can come to Auntie's place to play anytime you want in the future, but Auntie will never agree to it as an apprentice!"
In fact, Aunt Yang's concern is very simple. The most painful thing about making clothes is the hands. Look at the dense pinholes on her fingertips and the deformed nails, and look at Tang Yin's white and tender little hands. Aunt Yang really doesn't want to let it go. Tang Yin should suffer this. After all, every part of Tang Yin's body looks so perfect. If there are shortcomings, it will be difficult for this child to find a good family in the future.
"Okay." Seeing Aunt Yang's firm look, Tang Yin had no choice but to put the money in his pocket and stop mentioning the apprenticeship.
"Well, that's good." Seeing that Tang Yin did as she asked, Aunt Yang smiled and touched Tang Yin's smooth long hair, then knelt down and kissed Tang Yin on the face.
After staying at Aunt Yang's place for a while, Tang Yin came out of the clothing store and looked at the sun that had not risen much in the sky. After confirming the time, he was ready to go elsewhere to see if he could find a job.
Looking at Tang Yin's somewhat lonely back, Aunt Yang sighed again. While feeling sorry for Tang Yin, her dissatisfaction with Tang Hao once again rose to a higher level. She let a child go out to find work to support the family while she was lying at home. How could such a good child end up with such a father? How unfair is God! ! !
Tang Yin, who didn't know that he had caused a wave of hatred for his alcoholic father, continued to wander around the village, wanting to see where he could have a better chance of getting a job.
Seeing Grandpa Zhang and Tang Yin making candy on the street, his eyes lit up again and he walked over...
"..." After a long time, Tang Yin looked at the few more Silver Soul Coins in his hand, his face speechless.
Grocery store......
Butcher shop......
Restaurants, pubs...
After going around, Tang Yin looked at the more than 100 Gintama coins in his pocket and didn't know what to say. He came out to find work, but in the end it looked like he was here to collect protection money...
However, Tang Yin also secretly remembered the good deeds of the villagers in his heart, and should repay the kindness of a drop of water with a spring of water. When conditions permit, he will definitely repay them well in the future!
Let's go check out other stores tomorrow. He looked at the sun again and confirmed that it was already past ten o'clock. Tang Yin was going to go back and make lunch.
Looking at Tang Yin's back, a group of people kept cursing Tang Hao while feeling sorry for Tang Yin. What kind of evil did God have to do to let such a good child have such a rogue and useless father! ! !
The next day Tang Yin worked hard for another day. After harvesting dozens more Gintama coins, Tang Yin finally found a job, helping to sell fruits in Uncle Li's fruit shop in the village. As for the salary, Uncle Li gave him a Twenty Gintama coins per month.
Faced with the salary of twenty silver soul coins, Tang Yin shook his head. It was not too little, but too much. In Douluo Continent, the exchange ratio between gold, silver and copper soul coins is one to one hundred, and In a village like Holy Soul Village, the average family's annual expenses are only about two to three gold soul coins. Twenty silver soul coins a month, which is more than two gold soul coins in a year, is completely enough. My family's expenses are high, but the average apprentice salary in other shops in the village is only a few Gintama coins. I earn twenty Gintama coins a month. You can imagine how much loss Uncle Li will suffer. With such a salary If you accept it, your conscience will definitely be uneasy.
So Tang Yin and Uncle Li discussed it. Tang Yin's ideal salary was six or seven Gintama coins a month, but Uncle Li insisted on twenty Gintama coins a month. After arguing for a long time, the two of them took a step back. Fifteen Gintama coins a month.
This was Uncle Li's biggest concession. Uncle Li said that if it was any less, he would not agree to Tang Yin coming to work in the store, so Tang Yin could only reluctantly accept it, but Tang Yin also knew that he owed this favor. Big.
In fact, what Boss Li of the fruit shop originally wanted to give was not twenty Gintama coins, but thirty. You must know that Tang Yin is a sight in the village. No one would hate such a sensible and beautiful girl. Tang Yin will not be stingy with that little bit of kindness. Of course, there will inevitably be some other little thoughts in it.
Sensible, filial, caring for the family, and beautiful. The combination of these points will make everyone's heart beat. Everyone wants to marry such a girl home. Whether it is a daughter-in-law or a child bride, it is perfect. Of course, it is inevitable. There will be other people with dirty minds.
And although Tang Yin grew up in the village, people in the village didn't see him often. They usually came out to see Tang Hao when Tang Yin came out to see Tang Hao, his drunken father-in-law who had gone drinking somewhere, or because he was having a break at home. He would only come out when he could borrow food. At other times, Tang Yin was usually busy with endless housework at home.
Therefore, once the villagers know that Tang Yin is working here, he will definitely come around to see more of him. Even if it is not to buy fruit, who can guarantee that he will never buy it if there is a large amount of people?Fruit sales will naturally increase by then, so Boss Li, who thought of this from the beginning, had a monthly salary of thirty Gintama coins as the bottom line.
As a boss, he naturally knows the principle of hunger marketing, so after discussing with Tang Yin, Tang Yin came up with specific working hours. After breakfast every morning, he would come to the store to help at around six o'clock, and then at around eleven o'clock noon. I can get off work and go back to make lunch without having to come over in the afternoon.
Working for more than four hours a day, and then earning fifteen Gintama coins a month, Tang Yin did not agree. He really wanted to find a way to support his family, not to take advantage of favors. Besides, Tang Yin was not that kind of person. people.
Finally, after Boss Li's hard persuasion, Tang Yin reluctantly agreed, but he also put forward the condition of reducing wages, but Boss Li did not agree.
Just like that, Tang Yin officially started working selling fruits at the same time the next day.
In the morning, after the first person saw Tang Yin's figure in the fruit shop, he spread the word to others. More than an hour later, there were many people outside the fruit shop, mostly children, and children were very interested in fruits. The one who was the least resistant looked at Tang Yin and the fresh fruits beside Tang Yin and swallowed his saliva, and then begged his parents to buy some fruits.
Seeing that the fruit sales in just two or three hours were comparable to the previous two or three days, Boss Li showed a smile of success on his face.
Ever since Tang Yin started working in the fruit shop, the villagers would always walk in the direction of the fruit shop unconsciously every morning when they took a leisurely walk.
Looking at the little figure busy in the fruit shop, many people will always show dreamy smiles from time to time.
Although he doesn't like having so many people watching him work, since he has accepted the kindness from others, he naturally has to work hard, so Tang Yin works hard in the fruit shop and is scrambling to do all the work. , they are also particularly enthusiastic about the villagers who come to buy fruits.
"Grandpa Li, are you here to buy fruit? You have a cough recently. You can buy some pears and add some rock sugar to boil them to make rock sugar snow pears. It is the most nourishing and moisturizing lungs. It is the best for your cough..."
"Sister Yang, what do you want to buy? What, you want to buy some fruits that can help you lose weight? Then buy some bananas, slice them and soak them in vinegar. Eat some every morning and evening. It's the best way to lose weight..."
"Grandma Lina, if you want to buy some apples, these soft apples are the most suitable. They have a soft texture and are the most suitable for you and Grandpa Jack to eat..."
Seeing Tang Yin's sweet smile and the soft voice coming out of her ruddy mouth, Lina couldn't help but agree.
After receiving a positive reply from Grandma Lina, Tang Yin ran over and started weighing the apples with a smile. As he ran, a touch of ice blue spread behind Tang Yin's head from time to time, forming a rainbow-like streak under the sunlight. Lina couldn't help but be fascinated by the rainbow light.
"Grandma Lina, your apple." When Tang Yin's voice sounded, Lina woke up from her sluggish state, took the bag in Tang Yin's hand, Lina knelt down and pinched Tang Yin's little face lovingly, Then he kissed Tang Yin's cheek amidst Tang Yin's laughter, and finally touched Tang Yin's head, and then walked out of the fruit shop.
On the way home, Lina secretly made up her mind, what a lovely girl, she must be adopted, and let the old guy Jack go talk to that lazy Tang Hao. If he still fails, let him live every day. Come back and kneel on the washboard!
Tang Yin didn't know that he had brought a new disaster to Old Jack, and was still busy in the fruit shop with a smile. But Old Jack, who was wandering around the village with nothing to do, shivered, feeling as if some big disaster was about to happen. .
A week later, the fruit shop owner Li was pleasantly surprised to find that with Tang Yin, the fruit shop's one-week sales had caught up with the previous month and a half sales. The happy boss Li was ready to give Tang Yin a salary increase, but Tang Yin did not accept it.
Seeing Tang Yin's attitude, Boss Li was happy but also a little worried. Everyone else has probably seen the benefits of Tang Yin's working in the fruit shop. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't come over to poach him, just in case Tang Yin is tempted. It is estimated that the business of his fruit shop will return to its previous state, so he must find a way to keep Tang Yin.
Seeing that Tang Yin did not accept the salary increase, Boss Li came up with another idea. Every day at noon when Tang Yin was ready to go home from work, Boss Li would wrap some fruits for Tang Yin to take back. At first Tang Yin refused to accept it, but Later, under Boss Li's tough attitude, he reluctantly accepted it. From then on, Tang San began to have fruits to supplement his vitamins every day.
Seeing his family's life gradually getting better, Tang Yin was filled with joy. He felt that the system's tasks could be easily completed. Before Tang San's martial spirit awakened, he could ensure the family's food and clothing with the help of the shop owners when he was looking for a job. With the support of money and current salary, it was easy to persevere for a year, but Tang Yin soon learned what it means to be as good as God. The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.
Half a month later, near noon, Tang Yin, who was about to get off work, sat in the store and stared at the street outside in a daze. He was worried about money.
When I was looking for a job, I got more than 100 Gintama coins, which is almost more than one gold soul coin, but I didn't expect that the drunkard dad found out and took half of it without saying a word, and exchanged it all for wine, and started again The days of "you are drunk now, don't worry about what is right or wrong tomorrow" are over.
Seeing that Tang Hao continued to live in drunken dreams, Tang Yin was helpless. He originally wanted to talk to his alcoholic father and ask him to drink less in the future, but his father had too little time to be awake every day. He said that he was talking about him and avoided answering Tang Yin's questions directly. Later, when Tang Yin saw that he couldn't control it, he simply ignored it and said, "You can drink whatever you want."
Unfortunately, a few days ago, Tang Yin accidentally saw that the alcoholic father's "inventory" was reduced by half, and he began to feel sad again. In just a few days, half of the wine bought with dozens of Gintama coins was lost. It was estimated that the entire inventory might not be able to last for a month, and Tang Yin began to worry about money.
Originally, Tang Yin thought that the Gintama coins in his hand plus salary could cover the family's expenses for four to five months. Unfortunately, Tang Yin missed Tang Hao's obsession with wine when calculating the accounts. Now all the money added up can cover the family's expenses for four to five months. Supporting the family for two months is good, but what happens after the money runs out?Will the family return to its previous state of being hungry and full?
How can it be!
No one can stop me from getting that 10-year-old soul ring, no one can!
I don’t have enough money, right? I just have to find a way to make money. Tang Yin doesn’t believe that a living person can be choked to death by urinating!
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. After thinking for several days, Tang Yin still didn't think of any faster way to get money. In addition, Tang Yin refused to sneak around, so after thinking hard for several days, he still couldn't think of any way.
At this moment, a figure walked up the street, and something on the figure's shoulders made Tang Yin's eyes light up.
How stupid am I to have forgotten this!Tang Yin beat his head in annoyance, and then laughed happily again.
Life in Douluo Continent is similar to that in ancient China, so the fuels of ordinary village families on Douluo Continent are basically two types, grass and firewood.
Grass is ordinary straw or wheat straw, while firewood is dead wood or dead branches in the mountains. Most villagers in Douluo Continent prefer the latter because it is resistant to burning, so this has also given rise to a special profession---woodcutter. husband.
The woodcutter cuts firewood from the mountains and sells it to others. Generally, the price of two loads of firewood is eighty copper soul coins, and these two loads of firewood can be used by an average family for four to five days. Four or five days cost eighty copper soul coins. The coins are really not expensive, which makes the woodcutter's business very prosperous. Cutting four loads of firewood a day costs 160 copper soul coins, one and a half silver soul coins, and more than four gold soul coins in a year, which is enough for a family. expenses.
I go to work in the morning and go to the mountains to chop firewood in the afternoon. With my strength greater than that of an average adult, four loads of firewood in an afternoon is definitely not a problem. I can sell it cheaper, charging only fifty copper soul coins for two loads of firewood. Someone definitely wants it, so that I can earn one Gintama Coin at the end of the day, which is definitely enough to support my family’s expenses!
Just do it. That afternoon, Tang Yin took the rusty hatchets and axes at home. After grinding them until they were shiny on the whetstone, he started to cut firewood in the mountains, just to find a new way to make money. The complacent Tang Yin did not notice that there was a figure following him on his way into the mountain.
The figure moved and turned in the tree crown above Tang Yin's head, but there was no sound of wind at all. It was silent and did not even disturb the birds resting on the tree.
After wandering around in the mountains, Tang Yin found his target, a dead tree about the thickness of a calf. The reason why he only found trees with such a small thickness was because he was currently restricted by height, and he cut down trees that were too big at a corresponding time. Much slower than adults, so you can only choose trees that are much thinner.
Stretching his arms, he took a deep breath, feeling the sweet air filling his nose. Tang Yin sighed, Douluo's environment was indeed much better than on Earth, and the air was full of filth when breathing in later generations. The air is so much better.
Picking up the axe, Tang Yin began to chop down the tree vigorously. As a family that uses firewood, Tang Yin naturally knows what kind of wood is resistant to burning. He knows what kind of wood and firewood other woodcutter sells, so he chooses the target. They are all trees that are easier to sell.
A woodcutter chops down a tree with several consecutive blows, then uses a hatchet to cut off the forked branches, then chops the tree into several sections with an axe, and then splits each section of wood into several pieces. The firewood was sold.
Looking at Tang Yin who was sweating profusely below, Tang Hao on the top of the tree clenched his fists silently, then loosened his fists, sighed, and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
It took more than an hour to finally arrange two bundles of firewood. Tang Yin used a stick to pick up the firewood and carried it back. Due to his height limitation, Tang Yin was not bundled vertically like the firewood sold by other woodcutter. , Tang Yin's firewood was stacked horizontally, then tied up, and then he inserted the stick inside and carried it back.
Since firewood placed horizontally is not as easy to control as vertical firewood, Tang Yin walked for half an hour in order to carry the two bundles of firewood back, which usually took more than ten minutes.
As a necessity, firewood is naturally easy to sell. Tang Yin just asked a few houses and sold the firewood in his hand. However, the price was different from what Tang Yin expected. Seeing that it was Tang Yin who came to sell firewood, he bought the firewood. The hostess of the house was stunned and gave Tang Yin twenty more copper soul coins.
Seeing the twenty extra copper soul coins in his hand, Tang Yin refused without thinking. Because of his body size limitations and to prevent the villagers from treating him as a monster, his own bundle of firewood was better than other woodcutter's firewood. It's one-third less, but it's only ten copper soul coins cheaper than other woodcutters. How is this possible!
If he really does this, others will attack him out of embarrassment once or twice, but as time goes by, no one will buy his firewood anymore. Giving up long-term plans for short-term benefits is completely worth the loss, so Tang Yin She refused directly, but the hostess still forced the seventy copper soul coins into Tang Yin's hand, telling Tang Yin that the extra coins were given to him by herself. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Tang Yin had to take the money and give Qian En Thank you very much for leaving.
Seeing Tang Yin leaving happily, the hostess of the house blurred her eyes with tears. A child over five years old had to go up the mountain to cut firewood to sell for money, and a girl over five years old was doing adult work to support her. Family, how can we not make people feel distressed!
The most important thing is that Tang Hao, that lazy drunkard, is willing to let his five-year-old child chop wood to support the family. What kind of scum can do such a thing?
Wiping away the tears on her face and watching Tang Yin's back disappear, the hostess cursed fiercely, and the target of the curse was none other than Tang Yin's father, Tang Hao.
Woodcutter is a special profession born under special living environment. The living standard in Douluo Continent is very close to the feudal society of China, so the choice of fuel is not as diverse as it is today, and people's choices are only firewood and coal.
Firewood is the main fuel choice for the common people, while coal is the choice for some special industries, such as iron smelting and forging, that is, the blacksmith industry. Charcoal, which is resistant to burning and has less soot, is the exclusive fuel for the rich, so among the common people The profession of woodcutter, who makes a living by selling firewood, only appears among the upper class.
Woodcutter is a profession that combines many contradictions. They are united but fight endlessly internally, and they are very exclusive externally but try to attract others.
The reason why it is like this is because of the issue of interests. The internal unity is because generally the woodcutter in each village is a local of the village. In order to prevent outsiders from stealing the business, they are very united. The reason for the constant fighting is because there are so many woodcutters in the village. Households basically remain unchanged for decades, so these woodcutters have demarcated each person's customer range. You belong to which households and I belong to which households.
Although everyone's customer scope has been defined, no one will dislike their own interests, so when they provide firewood to their fixed customers, they are also playing tricks on other customers. Tang Yin himself I have seen several times where a woodcutter was beaten to a bloody head because he "crossed the line".
Fixed customers can only support fixed woodcutter, so they will be very exclusive. When foreign woodcutter intervenes in the local area, warnings, threats, and beatings will come one after another to drive away the foreign woodcutter. In addition, the woodcutter's job is very simple and anyone with a little strength can do it, so the local woodcutter will try to rope in his relatives or friends to work together to seize more benefits.
This is the woodcutter's group, a very contradictory group!
The number of woodcutter in a village like Saint Soul Village is naturally fixed. If you want new woodcutter to appear, only when a certain woodcutter feels that he can't do it, he will recommend his relatives or friends to join. Otherwise, they will come in without authorization. You will face countless difficulties.
However, the woodcutter of Saint Soul Village chose to remain silent or ignore Tang Yin, a little guy who suddenly appeared and started robbing business, and admitted that this little guy who came to robbing business was one of them.
The reason why they are like this is because of the following reasons.
One is because they can't bear it. At such a young age, they have to endure such heavy labor that only adults can afford to support their family. They see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts. A little child has done it for his family. How about this level?
The second reason is because they feel that Tang Yin is too young. Tang Yin will definitely not be able to bear such a heavy workload and will definitely give up in a short time. Why should they be evil people?
The third and most critical point is, they don’t dare!
There is a saying that no one is perfect, and nothing is perfect in the world. Some people will like you, and some will hate you. You cannot be liked by everyone, but Tang Yin was loved by everyone in Holy Soul Village. Personally, I only have a feeling of love for Tang Yin, so Tang Yin can boast that he has won the hearts of everyone in the Holy Soul Village. For such a little guy, even if you have a little bit of malice towards him If you tend to, then you will face the verbal criticism of everyone in the village and have your back poked every day. Such people will no longer be able to live in the Holy Soul Village, so the woodcutter who likes Tang Yin very much will naturally choose Ignore Tang Yin, this little guy who suddenly appears to grab business.
Not only did they acquiesce in Tang Yin's joining, they even gave him some help and guidance when they met Tang Yin, such as telling Tang Yin what postures were easy to cut down trees, what kind of binding methods were not easy to fall apart, and even when Tang Yin When carrying firewood to find someone who needed firewood, he told Tang Yin which family needed firewood.
In this way, with Tang Yin's efforts, the family's savings kept up with Tang Hao's consumption, and they were even able to save some.
The conditions at home slowly improved with Tang Yin's efforts. Even if Tang Hao was still drunk every day, even if Tang San was still obsessed with practicing every day, and even if there were two people in the family consuming money, Tang Yin still managed the entire family by himself. The family has been able to support itself, and its life is no different from that of other ordinary families in the village.
Moreover, under the guidance of other woodcutters, Tang Yin also learned to build some small traps to catch small animals such as pheasants and rabbits. Every now and then, he could always get some meat for the family.
Seeing Tang San's little face that used to bring some dishes slowly turned rosy due to the nourishment of meat, Tang Yin felt so happy. Plus, after becoming rich, there were a lot of ingredients for Tang Yin to practice cooking. The cooking points that had been stuck for a long time have now exceeded the sixty mark and are slowly moving towards seventy. Tang Yin could not be more satisfied.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Tang Yin was rolling up his sleeves and trying hard to deal with a thigh-thick dead tree. As the ax blade continued to fall, the gap in the tree was visible to the naked eye. It was late autumn and the temperature was already approaching. It was extremely cold, but Tang Yin's clothes were soaked with sweat.
More than half a year of high-intensity labor did not change Tang Yin's body shape at all. If it were someone else's six months of high-intensity labor, they would have gained a strong body of muscles, but Tang Yin still looked so thin, lifting the hem of his clothes After wiping the sweat from his face, Tang Yin leaned down and continued cutting down the tree.
When Tang Yin lifted up his hem to expose his abdomen, he could still see his tight lower abdomen without any trace of muscle. Tang Yin was also quite surprised at this point. Originally, he wanted to build some muscles to change his current appearance of weakness. However, no matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't achieve the image of a girl. Tang Yin had to give up the plan to study further, but he knew that the current situation was probably caused by the system, because the system had told him before that only perfection could be achieved. Only your body type can show your charm...
As the last few axes fell, the big tree finally fell with a harsh cracking sound. Tang Yin began to change the hatchet to clean the branches on the tree. Originally, Tang Yin usually chose dead trees as thick as calves to chop down firewood. Yes, but today several families said that they were running out of firewood, so Tang Yin chose a big tree and planned to chop all the needed firewood at once and then carry it back in several batches.
Holding the branch with his left hand, he kept waving the hatchet in his right hand to trim off the excess branches so that he could split the main trunk into firewood later.
After half a year of continuous use, the wooden handle of the hatchet has been polished extremely smooth by Tang Yin. The long and vigorous chopping has also caused thin cracks to appear on the wooden handle of the hatchet. However, due to Tang Yin's feeling It was easy to use, so he didn't replace it. Soon, Tang Yin regretted his decision.
"Pa!" With another vigorous chop, the wooden handle of the hatchet finally shattered, and the blade flew out and shot towards Tang Yin. Looking at the flying blade, Tang Yin subconsciously stretched out his right hand to grab it, accurately grabbed the blade.
"Ah!" Tang Yin screamed and threw the blade to the ground. He looked at the palm of his hand. The blade of the hatchet cut open several centimeters in the palm of his hand. A wound on the bone could be seen deeply, and red blood was flowing along it. The wound on the palm surged out, flowing from the back of the hand to the ground.
Along with the blood came severe pain. The child's well-developed tear glands made Tang Yin's tears surge down. He held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand and raised his palm in front of him and blew gently on the wound. I opened the system page and wanted to repair the wound.
Looking at the pitiful 35 points in the point column, Tang Yin's tears flowed more violently. If he had known about the current situation, he would not have been too tired to repair his body two days ago!
Since there are not enough points to repair the body, the next best thing is to choose something that can stop the bleeding first.
"System, come out! Can I buy any items that can quickly stop bleeding with the points I have now?" Tang Yin yelled for the system in his mind. Now he was already dizzy due to the rapid blood loss. If he delayed it any longer, he would probably only lose blood. And the fate of death.
"Yes, Zhixue Powder, [-] points for one bottle. It can only stop bleeding but cannot treat wounds. The golden sore medicine that can treat wounds requires [-] points. You don't have enough points to buy it now." After Tang Yin called for the third time, In an instant, the system appeared and recommended the most suitable items to Tang Yin.
"I know, give it to me quickly, or I'll be dead if you delay it any longer!" As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, a white porcelain bottle appeared in front of him. Tang Yin grabbed it, pulled out the cork with his teeth, and drank all the white powder inside. Fell on the wound in the palm of your right hand.
The product produced by the system is indeed excellent. Just a few seconds after it was poured on the wound, the blood stopped flowing. Looking at the red paste mixed with blood and hemostasis powder in the palm of his hand, Tang Yin lifted up the hem of his clothes again, biting a gap with his teeth and then removed it from the clothes. Tear off a strip of cloth and wrap it around your palm.
After the treatment, Tang Yin fell to the ground and breathed heavily to relieve the dizziness caused by the violent bleeding. When the dizziness was not so strong, Tang Yin staggered up from the ground, and then put away the hatchet and ax on the ground. .
Glancing at the tree that fell to the ground, Tang Yin turned around and left staggeringly. The dizziness and weakness caused by the violent bleeding made Tang Yin know that he could no longer afford such physical labor for the time being. What he needed most now was Just rest, your body is the most important thing.
Tang Yin didn't see it. After he left, the medicine bottle he threw away turned into a point of light and disappeared.
"Xiao Yin, what's wrong with you? What happened?" As soon as Tang Yin arrived at the entrance of the village, he met Grandma Lina, who was visiting the house. She was the wife of the old village chief Jack. She looked at the blood stains all over Tang Yin's body and the pale face. He rushed over to hug Tang Yin and asked anxiously.
Looking at Tang Yin's appearance, Lina shed tears of distress. What happened to this child? Did he encounter a wild beast on the road?The blood all over his body has soaked into his clothes. What happened to this child?
Seeing Lina's grandma, Tang Yin also relaxed. The dizziness became more and more serious on the road. When he was approaching the village, his eyes began to turn black. Tang Yin knew that this was the lowering of blood pressure caused by rapid blood loss, and he might be at risk at any time. Fainted, in order to let people discover him quickly so that he could inform his family, Tang Yin managed to reach the village. He only left the words "send me home" in Lina's arms and fainted.
"Come on, come on, help!" Seeing Tang Yin fainted, Lina was so frightened that she was so frightened that she cried loudly and kept calling for people to come over. After Lina's call, someone came over soon. Listen to When Lina said that Tang Yin fainted and saw Tang Yin covered in blood, she hurriedly sent her to the doctor in the village.
While the doctor was treating Tang Yin, someone also ran to notify Tang Hao. They heard someone said that Tang Yin came back covered in blood and fainted. After the doctor went to the doctor for first aid, Tang Hao, who was wondering that Tang Yin hadn't come back to cook, had also disappeared. Being lazy and calm, he directly pushed away the person who informed him and ran out.
Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin, you must not let anything happen to you!Tang Hao, who was on the road, had only this thought in his mind.
When he arrived at the doctor's house and saw the pale Tang Yin lying on the bed wearing only underwear and the bloody clothes thrown aside, Tang Hao slapped himself so hard that half of his cheek was swollen.
You must know that Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo, and his physical fitness is countless times stronger than that of ordinary people. You can imagine how much strength it takes to swell half of his cheeks, and you can also know how regretful Tang Hao is now.
Seeing Tang Hao's actions, Lina, who had been accompanying Tang Yin, stood up and slapped Tang Hao hard again. She pointed at Tang Hao with red eyes, her arms were shaking, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What if Xiao Yin today?" If something happens, I won’t be done with you!”
Even after being slapped by Lina, Tang Hao's eyes did not move away from Tang Yin. Looking at the pale-faced Tang Yin, Tang Hao felt only regret in his heart. Why didn't he follow him today? He was lying at home drinking. If he had followed the past, what happened today would not have happened.
Normally Tang Hao would follow Tang Yin to protect him when Tang Yin went up the mountain to chop firewood, but today when he was taking a nap, he dreamed of the death of his wife A Yin. Feeling hurt by the scene, Tang Hao chose to drink to drown his sorrows. I followed him, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen if I didn't follow him this time.
Tang Hao felt that if there was anything wrong with Tang Yin, he would lose the meaning of living.
In front of Tang Hao, Tang Yin was lying on the bed with a pale face, wearing only a pair of shorts. The reason for this was because Tang Yin's clothes were already stained with blood. The doctor took them off to check if there were anything else on Tang Yin's body. Fortunately, there were no other wounds on the body, and there was no blood on his shorts, so the doctor did not take off Tang Yin's shorts to check, so Tang Yin's gender is still a mystery among the villagers...
Ice blue hip-length hair was spread out, like a blue mat, spread under Tang Yin's body. The cloth strip that originally wrapped the wound on his right hand has been replaced by clean gauze. It can be seen that the wound has been replaced. The medicine was taken, but after all, the doctor's medicine was not as good as the one provided by the system. The white gauze was already slightly red at this time.
"Tang Hao, did you hear me talking to you?!" Seeing Tang Hao ignoring her, Lina's anger increased even more: "Look at you, you know how to feed horses urine all day long, you don't care about anything, you are a useless person Better than you! Look at what this child has done to support this family. He doesn’t have enough food and clothing. This time he almost died outside. If you continue like this, God won’t tolerate it. you!"
Granny Lina's voice brought Tang Hao back from the painful memories. He turned his head and glanced at Granny Lina. Without saying a word, he pulled a blanket from the side and walked around Granny Lina to Tang Yin's bed. He covered it with the blanket. on Tang Yin's body, then picked up Tang Yin and prepared to leave.
"You can't take Xiaoyin away." Lina hurriedly stopped Tang Hao: "Her injuries haven't healed yet, and she still needs a doctor's care. You can't take her away!"
"He is my child. If I want to take him away, no one can stop me!" Tang Hao, the mother-in-law of Lina, did not take a good look at her for blocking him. He snorted coldly and prepared to leave again. Unexpectedly, mother-in-law Lina stopped him again. Got him.
"Your child? Soon it won't be!"
"What do you mean?" After hearing Granny Lina's words, Tang Hao's face turned completely cold and he squinted at Granny Lina in front of him.
"Xiaoyin has suffered too much for your life, and you can't give her a high-quality life, so..." Even when she saw Tang Hao's expression was wrong, Granny Lina did not give in at all, and treated Tang Yin Her love and care suppressed her fear: "Adopt Xiao Yin to me!"
"Don't even think about it!" Tang Hao refused without thinking. Tang Yin is my son, Tang Hao, and no one can take him away from me!
"Tang Hao!" Mother-in-law Lina roared angrily: "How much more hardship do you want this child to suffer for this family? If you are still good for her, just adopt her to me. Jack and I can give her high quality and a happy life, do you understand..."
The doctor inside the house who was getting medicine for Tang Yin also heard the quarrel outside the house and hurriedly came out: "What's going on? What's going on?"
"It's none of your business." Mother-in-law Lina yelled at the doctor, then turned to look at Tang Hao: "Tell me, what do you want to adopt Xiaoyin to me? If you want money, how much do you want? Bar?"
"Although I, Tang Hao, am a useless person, I will never sell my child!" After Tang Hao said this, he hugged Tang Yin and knocked away the watching villagers outside the house and left.
"Tang Hao, come back!" Seeing Tang Hao leaving, Granny Lina wanted to catch up but was stopped by other villagers. After the villagers persuaded Granny Lina, she also gave up her plan to chase Tang Hao and sat down. Sulking in the chair and angry at that useless wife.
When he got home, he put Tang Yin on the bed and told Tang San to watch Tang Yin carefully and call him once Tang Yin woke up. Then Tang Hao returned to his bedroom.
He took out a box from under the bed and blew off the dust accumulated on it. Tang Hao opened the box. Apart from a few pieces of clothing, there were only a few small white bottles in the box. He took out a bottle, uncorked it and poured it into the palm of his hand. , but was shocked to find that the bottle was empty.
No more, how come, I clearly remember that there should be some?
But since the bottle is gone, let's make some freshly prepared. After thinking about the required medicinal materials, Tang Hao got up and walked out of the bedroom.
Those medicines should be growing in the desperate valley a hundred miles away from the Holy Soul Village. If you use all your strength, you should be able to get back before dark.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao told Tang San to go out for a while and come back before dark, then left the house and rushed towards the desperate valley with all his strength.
Late at night, there was silence. Tang Hao was processing medicinal materials in the bedroom, while Tang San fell asleep lying on the bedside. Tang Yin woke up with a low moan.
What he saw when he opened his eyes was the familiar thatched roof at home. Tang Yin realized that he was lying at home now and took two deep breaths. Tang Yin was still a little scared now. Fortunately, he had met Grandma Lina, otherwise It is estimated that no one will know if he dies outside.
Licking his dry lips, Tang Yin felt a little thirsty. He slowly turned his head and saw Tang San sleeping soundly beside the bed. He stretched out his hand and pulled Tang San, asking him to pour him a glass of water. .
Maybe it was because he was too weak now, but there was no movement even after several consecutive pulls on Tang San.
"Mistress." Tang Yin called out, his voice weak and hoarse. As soon as he called out, Tang Yin started coughing violently.
Tang Yin's coughing woke up Tang San. Seeing that Tang Yin was awake, Tang San excitedly grabbed Tang Yin's right hand: "Brother, you finally woke up..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Yin's scream. Tang San happened to grab his injured hand, and the severe pain almost made Tang Yin faint again.
Seeing Tang Yin's appearance, Tang San also reacted and hurriedly let go of Tang Yin's hand: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. By the way, you're awake. I'll call dad..."
After saying that, he hurried out of the bedroom, shouting: "Dad, brother is awake, brother is awake!"
Tang Hao, who was handling the medicinal materials, heard that Tang Yin woke up and immediately threw down the medicine pestle in his hand and came to Tang Yin's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Tang Yin was lying on the bed, struggling to remove the gauze on his right hand. It turned out that Tang Yin had looked at his right hand after Tang San ran out just now. The gauze was already red. It seemed that the wound collapsed again after Tang San scratched it hard.
"What are you doing taking off the gauze? Lie down quickly!" Seeing Tang Yin's movements, Tang Hao came up and pulled Tang Yin's hand away, then pressed Tang Yin to lie down, and wrapped Tang Yin in a quilt to prevent Tang Yin from catching a cold. .
Tang Yin stretched out his right hand to try to explain the situation, but Tang Hao didn't give Tang Yin a chance to speak at all. He grabbed Tang Yin's arm and stuffed Tang Yin's hand back into the quilt: "You just woke up now, don't move!"
Tang Hao's concern warmed Tang Yin's heart, but the pain in his right hand became more and more intense. It was estimated that the wound had completely collapsed. He had to explain the situation now, otherwise he would probably die from Tang Hao's excessive concern later. Too much blood loss.
Once again, he took his right hand out of the quilt with difficulty. Before Tang Hao could grab it, Tang Yin said hoarsely: "The wound... is open..." One sentence exhausted all Tang Yin's strength. After finishing speaking, Tang Yin Silver began to pant rapidly.
Tang Hao and Tang San were frightened when they heard Tang Yin's words. They grabbed Tang Yin's hand and saw that the blood had soaked the gauze and slowly overflowed outwards. The whole right hand turned red again.
Seeing this scene, Tang San was so frightened that he cried. Tang Hao also rushed to his bedroom to get the medicine he made. He even tripped at the door on the way. It is easy to imagine that the titled Douluo would fall. How anxious Tang Hao felt.
After a moment of confusion, Tang Hao applied medicinal powder to the wound on Tang Yin's right hand again, stopping the wound from continuing to bleed.
After applying the medicinal powder, Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He made these medicinal powders himself, and he knew the effect naturally, so he knew that there would be no big problems next and he only needed to rest for a while.
Tang San was still sobbing quietly beside the bed. The collapse of the wound on Tang Yin's hand was entirely caused by his excitement just now. When he thought that he had almost put his brother in danger again, Tang San felt extremely guilty.
Although Tang San has the soul and mind of an adult, Tang San has spent his entire life in panic from knowing that Tang Yin was injured to now. He is very afraid that something unexpected will happen to Tang Yin and he will lose this brother.
In his last life, Tang San was an orphan. He didn't know who his parents were. Although he had the care of the elders in the Tang Sect, Tang San still longed for the care of his parents. Maybe God heard his prayers. After his rebirth, he In this life he had a father.
Maybe God does not allow perfection to exist. Although he has a father in this life, he has no mother. Maybe God feels that he is not worthy of maternal love, but Tang San never expected that the maternal love he thought he would miss would come from his brother. Feel.
In Tang San's heart, his brother was gentle and beautiful, tolerated him, accommodated him, doted on him, put him first in everything, and all conditions were tilted towards him. Everything was so similar to Tang San's positioning of his mother, so in Tang San In San's heart, his brother is not only his brother, but also the embodiment of his mother. To Tang San, his brother is equal to his mother.
Tang San felt so painful that he couldn't help himself when he thought that his brother, who he had almost harmed as much as his mother, was in danger again.
Seeing that Tang San was still sobbing, Tang Yin stretched out his hand and gently touched Tang San's head, comforting him in a hoarse voice: "Xiao San, stop crying. My brother didn't blame you. Don't be sad."
"Yeah." Tang San sniffed hard and hummed. Although he promised Tang Yin not to cry, he couldn't stop the tears looking at his pale brother Tang San.
Seeing that Tang San didn't stop crying, Tang Yin was ready to continue comforting him, but before he could open his mouth, a hungry growl came from his stomach.
Looking at Tang San with some embarrassment, Tang Yin didn't expect to be hungry at this time. It's no wonder, after all, it was lunch, and it was already late at night, and children digested quickly. Now that my stomach is just rumbling, it is already very honorable.
and many more!
Tang Yin was stunned. Did I forget something?
"Xiao San, what time is it now?" Tang Yin hurriedly asked Tang San, praying in his heart that it wouldn't be too late now.
Not too late?Why?
That's because of dinner!I passed out and no one made dinner. It was my task! ! !
"Now?" Tang San tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It's probably around midnight."
child time?
Tang Yin's exhausted body fell heavily on the bed. It's too late, it's too late, it's my mission!
No, wait!
It seems that the system has not notified me that the task evaluation has been downgraded yet. Is it because it has not passed 12 o'clock yet?
That's definitely the case. I should be able to catch up on cooking now. No one can stop me from getting a perfect rating!
