Chapter 222 Shabu-shabu stove and monsters(2/2)
"Where are you from? Where are you going? How come you haven't heard of this?"
"We are from Liujia Village in front of us. We usually live in Runze City. We have just returned home. We haven't heard about this yet." Lin Jue said. Seeing some movement in the basket behind him, he couldn't help but take a second look, but he
They are just two puppies. "Is there really a monster? But if there is a monster, why are you still walking on the road so late?"
"We are not on our way yet. There is a village ahead, and there is a thatched shop in the village. If you don't want to encounter monsters, then walk faster, and come with me to stay in the village." "That's right."
Lin Jue heard Luo Monk say that there was indeed a village shop ahead.
Calculating, it's not too far away. We should be able to reach it before dark. It seems that this person is indeed not a monster.
"It's not long since the New Year. I don't think you are a businessman. Where are you going?" Lin Jue asked again. "What? You don't suspect that I am a monster, do you?"
"Who knows?"
"How can any monster come out in the daytime?"
The middle-aged man said as he took a closer look at them. He felt that there was something wrong with these two people, but he couldn't tell. However, they didn't look like monsters, and he couldn't tell the specific reason.
So he became even more confused.
"My name is Qiao Xuefu. I live in front of the house. I borrowed ten taels of silver from someone before and never had the money to pay it back. I heard a few days ago that the couple was seriously ill, so I collected the money to pay him back yesterday. I just paid it back from Runze County today.
I got the money to come back, but I don’t have the money to take the boat, and the journey is quite far, so I have to go in the dark. I’ll stay in a village shop over there for one night, and I should be able to get home at noon tomorrow.”
"That step is really worthy of admiration."
"Why don't we pay back when we have no way to borrow money? In the past, they could live a decent life without paying back, so let's forget about it. Now that their livelihood has become a problem, they naturally have to collect money to pay back." The middle-aged people sighed for their poverty.
, "I only raised half of this money, and I asked my nieces and nephews to raise the other half."
The implication was that he had no money, and no matter whether they were monsters or robbers, they should not come looking for him. Lin Jue could tell that he didn't sound like he was telling lies.
"What's in your back?"
"His female dog gave birth to pups, so I caught two from his house and sold them for some money." "So that's it."
Lin Jue suddenly thought of the Liu Laizi from Mingxia County and couldn't help but smile. There are really big differences between people.
Soon we arrived at the village ahead.
That village was called Xiaojiadian, named after the Maodian in the village.
The middle-aged man did not dare to go any further, so he stayed in Maodian. To his surprise, these two people were still walking forward.
