Chapter 8 Another monster?
After Lao Xiaokai tried to persuade him for a long time, Li Chuan still looked frustrated.
Lao smiled and felt for the first time that his words were useless. He looked at the broken silver in Li Chuan's hand and estimated that there were about four or five taels of silver. He gradually felt like giving up.
Although I haven’t done any big business, with these four or five taels, it’s not a loss for me to make such a trip.
So in the end, he took the money and said: "Well, I'll leave a few pills here. When you feel uncomfortable, just take one pill. If you figure it out, come find me again."
After hearing this, Li Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." After saying that, he stood up and saw him off.
Lao smiled at his look and said quickly: "No, no, you can rest."
After finishing speaking, Lao Xiao walked out, walked to the door, thought for a moment, then walked back, left dozens of copper coins on the table, and then walked out again.
After Li Chuan heard the door closing, he let out a long sigh of relief. When he walked outside, he saw the copper coins that Lao Xiaokai had left on the table.
Smiled.
I picked up the cold tea, poured it into my stomach, and then sat down.
The scholar Li Chuan has never saved twenty or thirty taels of silver. The few taels of silver hidden in the cage are all the wealth he can take out.
Although Boiled Egg is a liar, he obviously has a bit of the real thing in him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that he was corrupted by "demon power"; after taking a few prescribed medicines, he did feel a lot better. There was also the labor of 'escorting' him all the way.
Therefore, consultation fees and travel expenses must be paid.
Li Chuan poured himself another cup of cold tea and drank it.
I guess if you wait a little longer, the hard-boiled eggs will come back to you.
Lao Xiaochuan walked about a mile away, and after asking someone for directions, he realized something was wrong.
He held the pieces of silver in his hands and beat his chest and feet.
I hunted geese all day long, and when the geese pecked their eyes, I let a scholar plot against me!
After arriving at Yunqiao Township, the scholar deliberately took a detour to let the neighbors know that he was back and brought a good friend with him.
In this way, even if he discovers something is wrong, he will not be able to go back and seek revenge.
If he goes back to kill the scholar and take away the money, let’s not talk about whether the scholar has money or not. His appearance has already been seen by others. Once reported to the official, he will definitely not be able to escape.
If you don't kill people, but expose the scholar's lies, then...he lied first and started making trouble. The scholar is a local and he is from out of town, so he will definitely not be able to gain favor.
So...
Lao Xiaochuan grasped the money in his hand.
Forget it, let’s go, let’s go!
The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the light in the room is getting darker and darker.
It seems that the boiled egg will not come back to him.
Li Chuan stood up and moved his body.
After coming to this world, he has only now had time to sort out his original memory and think about what to do in the future.
The Jiang Dynasty has experienced four emperors, and the current one is a queen who has been in power for 48 years.
At present, life is relatively peaceful, and there have been no major wars in the past twenty years.
Although Yunqiao Township is located in a remote area, it has a good climate, four distinct seasons, and fertile soil suitable for farming. He takes good care of these ten acres of land. In addition, scholars do not have to pay taxes and receive monthly subsidies, so they have no worries about filling their stomachs.
.
Li Chuan was thinking as he walked to the backyard, all the way down, and came to the edge of the field.
Compared with the land next to it, his land is obviously sparse.
It turns out that I had an old servant who died last winter, and the land gradually became deserted after that.
Some neighbors couldn't stand it, so they approached him and said they wanted to borrow his land for farming. Since they didn't have to pay taxes, they not only paid him rent, but also gave him 30% of the harvest.
As a result, the original person refused. He felt that this was the behavior of a coward, and he was a gentleman and could not associate with these villains.
The land was deserted, the harvest was low, there was no money to support the body, no money to study in the academy, and I was kidnapped by two little monsters and lost my life.
Li Chuan thought and let out a long sigh.
From the memory of the original person, he knew that although there were monsters in this world, ordinary little monsters rarely went to places with many people. If he hadn't lived in a remote place, was alone, and was really weak, Gong Er and
It would be quite difficult for the third party to kidnap him.
Monsters with some ability, whether they are greedy for money or lust, will usually choose wealthy families.
As for the great demons like King Black Horn, local governments will revise a new "Great Demon Collection" every year, which indicates the places occupied by these great demons.
When on the road, as long as you avoid the places occupied by big monsters and try to stay near the inn, it will be quite safe.
Li Chuan has a plan in mind.
It's already past the time for sowing. Even if he is willing to rent out the land, he can't find anyone to rent it. He can only harvest as many grains of rice as possible.
I'll wait until next year to see if anyone is willing to rent.
After renting out the land, you go out to find a job, such as a bookkeeper.
He can't do the Mathematical Olympiad, but he should be able to do addition, subtraction and subtraction.
After you have saved some capital and become familiar with the world, you can then see what kind of business you can do.
As for reading?
He is not good at studying. It would be good if he could cope with the three-year annual examination by relying on his original memory. It is absolutely impossible to go further.
After finishing the calculation, Li Chuan felt determined. At this time, he seemed to hear someone calling him from a distance.
"Master Li, Master Li..."
Li Chuan walked around to the house and saw Manager Liu from Zhang's wife's house standing outside the front yard, calling his name.
Seeing Li Chuan coming out, Manager Liu quickly said: "Master Li, you are back."
Li Chuan invited him into the house.
But Manager Liu waved his hand and refused, saying: "I won't sit down anymore, my master is still waiting for my reply when I get back." Then he explained the purpose of his visit: "These days, my family has been attacked by a demon, so we invited a Taoist priest to come.
I’m doing some rituals. I’m having a banquet tonight and I’d like to invite Mr. Li to accompany me.”
"Are you attacked by a demon?" Li Chuan asked.
Manager Liu said: "Yes, that night, first the food box sent to the staff room disappeared and could not be found anywhere. Then not long after, a big rooster flew into the dining room, flapped its wings a few times, and took out the food that had just been placed.
They were all swept to the ground and stepped on several times with their paws."
Li Chuan heard it and felt it sounded familiar.
Manager Liu continued, "Later, strange things happened frequently. At night, everyone heard the cry of a woman and the sound of falling into the water. The officer found a few brave servants and brought lamps and sticks together.
, I searched everywhere, but found nothing."
Manager Liu quietly took a look at Li Chuan's expression and said, "It's gotten worse in the past two days. No one dares to close their eyes during the day. As soon as they close their eyes, they can see the female ghost in red crying in the water."
p>
This plot development is a bit unexpected.
Li Chuan asked Manager Liu: "Did you see it too?"
Manager Liu said: "I saw that chicken, and I even pulled its wings with my hand. My fingers were injured, and they still hurt a little. As for the female ghost, I could vaguely hear some sounds."<
/p>
Li Chuan understood that the female ghost and the like were probably just imagined.
Then he won't be afraid anymore.
