MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 7 give it a try

   Chapter 7 Try It Out

   When Li Xin returned to the cabin at the foot of the North Mountain, the sky had already dimmed.

  Yes, this part of the road that originally only took an hour, he went from noon to evening, because he was injured.

Although the little girl surnamed Ye didn't hit him head-on, she just "rubbed" it, but the fast galloping horse made him fall several meters on the bluestone road on Desheng Street, his elbows and knees. The part of it was ground with several holes, and several **** holes were dripping with blood.

  This kind of wound didn't hurt very much when he was just injured, but it will become more and more painful, especially Li Xin's clothes are very thin, so it is quite difficult for him to walk back.

   In the second half, he had to wrap the newly bought quilt around him before walking back to the log cabin at the foot of the mountain.

After returning to the cabin, Li Xin sat down beside the charcoal stove. At this time, the old charcoal seller was filling the stove with some chopped old bamboo. The room was so fiery that Li Xin was about to freeze. His body gradually warmed up.

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

This world is not very peaceful. In fact, because of the lack of informatization, the security of any dynasty in ancient times was not very good. A young man like Li Xin walked outside alone and was beaten or robbed. That's a normal thing to do.

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

Those who bumped into him were obviously either rich or expensive. Those people were people whom the charcoal-seller had never met in his entire life. If Li Xin had spoken out about this matter in its entirety, the old man might have driven him out of fear of the powerful. go out.

  The old man glanced at Li Xin calmly, and his voice was hoarse: "Then you will fall hard."

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

   Li Xin nodded.

   "All sold, one hundred cents a piece."

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

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

Cui Jiuniang's promise to Li Xin was the basis for Li Xin's rejection of Li Chun's "compensation". If Cui Jiuniang did not leave such a fortune for Li Xin, then at noon, no matter how depressed Li Xin was, he would not. Will reject Li Chun's piece of gold.

   In the world, one's face is very important, and so is the ambition in the heart, but in the face of life and death, these things are not worth mentioning.

After listening to Li Xin's words, the charcoal seller's expression was also slightly moved. He had seen the animal charcoal that Li Xin made. The two pieces of animal charcoal together would not exceed a kilogram. The pound was only sold for ten cents, which meant that in Li Xin's hands, the charcoal was worth twenty times the price.

  The old man gave Li Xin a deep look, his hoarse voice could not hide his excitement.

   "You are a capable child..."

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

   He was thinking about a problem.

That's why he was so angry when he met Li Chun in the daytime. According to reason, he just came to this world not long ago, and he and Li Chun were completely strangers. With a disadvantaged character, he might lie on the ground and blackmail the son of the Pingnanhou Mansion.

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

  Thinking about it, maybe another reason why Li Xin's will has not completely dissipated?

After baking for a while, Li Xin struggled to move his injured arm and opened the bag he was carrying behind him. Inside were a pair of cotton shoes stained with soil and a jacket that was not particularly thick. He stretched out his hand and called the charcoal girl over, and laughed softly: "Come on, Niuniu, this is what my brother bought for you, try it on."

   The cotton-padded clothes of this era were not cheap, so that the consistent money Li Xin earned was not enough to buy two sets of clothes.

Although there are many absolute egoists in this world, Li Xin has not yet reached that level. He has no way of seeing a five- or six-year-old girl, covered in frozen blue and purple, wearing straw sandals and walking in the snow. .

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

   Anyway, as long as you get through this night and get more "beast charcoal" tomorrow, you can roughly prepare the equipment for the three people to spend the winter.

   The charcoal saleswoman shyly glanced at the cotton shoes in Li Xin's hand, not daring to come over.

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

   This kind of inferiority complex will make a person constrained in doing things, and his words and deeds are very difficult to let go. This is one of the reasons why poor families rarely give birth to noble children. The reason why Cui Jiuniang gave Li Xin a high look is because Li Xin is neither humble nor arrogant.

   Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled, but didn't force it. Then he stuffed the shoes and the cotton-padded clothes into the old man's hands, hugged the newly bought quilt, and limped back to his bed.

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

  I don't know if it was because of being frozen to "death" that Li Xin became particularly afraid of the cold.

   But now he has a warm quilt, which makes Li Xin sleep comfortably.

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

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

   So he woke up at midnight.

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

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

   He could even recall the coldness in that dilapidated temple.

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

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

  Thinking of this, Li Xin whispered softly.

   "If there is a chance, I will give it a try, but it's just a try, there is no guarantee that it will work..."
