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

Yes, this journey, which would have taken only an hour, lasted from noon to late afternoon, because he was wounded.

The chick surnamed Ye, although he didn't hit him head-on, just "rubbed" it, but the fast galloping horse made him fall several meters away on the bluestone road on Desheng Street, and his elbows and knees were worn out of a few holes, and a few bloody wounds were dripping with blood.

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

By the second half, he had to wrap his newly purchased quilt around himself before he reluctantly walked back to the hut at the foot of the mountain.

After returning to the cabin, Li Xin sat down next to the charcoal stove, and at this time, the old charcoal seller was filling the stove with some old bamboo, and the room was steaming, so that Li Xin's frozen body gradually warmed up.

The old charcoal seller first glanced at Li Xin, then saw the scarlet blood on his leg, coughed and said, "Bullied? ”

This world is not very peaceful, in fact, because there is no information reason, in ancient times, in any dynasty, the public security will not be too good, a young man like Li Xin, walking alone, beating or robbing someone, that is a normal thing.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to the stove and warmed his hands, then took a few deep breaths and smiled reluctantly at the old charcoal seller: "No, on the way back, I fell a little." ”

Those who hit themselves are obviously either rich or expensive, and those people are people who can't be contacted by the old man who sells charcoal in his life, if Li Xin says this matter as it is, the old man may drive him out because he is afraid of the powerful.

The old man glanced at Li Xin quietly, and his voice was hoarse: "Then you can't fall lightly." ”

Without waiting for Li Xin to answer, the old man continued to ask, "All that charcoal has been sold?" ”

Li Xin nodded.

"It's all sold, a hundred yuan."

Speaking of this, Li Xin took out a string of copper coins with two or three hundred wen left from his arms, put them on the table beside him, and then he smiled brightly at the old man.

"Uncle, the family in the city continues to ask for this kind of beast charcoal, and it will be a hundred yuan in the future, and we are going to live a good life."

Cui Jiuniang's promise to Li Xin is Li Xin's confidence to refuse Li Chun's "compensation", if Cui Jiuniang did not leave such a financial path for Li Xin, then at noon, no matter how depressed Li Xin was, he would not refuse Li Chun's piece of gold.

When people live in the world, face is very important, and the ambition in their hearts is also very important, but in the face of life and death, these things are not worth mentioning.

After listening to Li Xin's words, the charcoal seller also looked slightly moved, he had seen Li Xin get those beast charcoal, those two pieces of beast charcoal together, will not exceed one catty, and the previous charcoal, a catty was only sold for ten yuan, that is to say, in Li Xin's hands, the price of these charcoal has increased twenty times in vain.

The old man glanced at Li Xin deeply, and his hoarse voice couldn't hide his excitement.

"You're a kid with a lot of skills......"

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

He was pondering a question.

That is, when he met Li Chun during the day, why was he so angry in his heart, logically speaking, not long after he came to this world, he and Li Chun were completely two strangers, if it was according to Li Xin's previous character of only making cheap and not suffering, he might lie directly on the ground and blackmail this son of Pingnan Houfu, and it would never be possible to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and refuse that large amount of compensation.

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

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

After roasting the fire for a while, Li Xin struggled to move his injured arm, and opened the burden he was carrying behind him, there was a pair of cotton shoes stained with some mud, and a jacket that was not particularly thick, Li Xin reached out and called the charcoal girl, and laughed softly: "Come, Niuniu, this is what my brother bought for you, wear it and try it." ”

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

In this world, of course, there are many absolute egoists, but Li Xin has not yet reached that level, he can't see a five or six-year-old girl, covered in frozen bruises, walking in the snow in straw sandals.

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

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

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

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

This kind of inferiority complex will make a person constrained, and his words and deeds are very uncontrollable, which is also one of the reasons why there are few noble sons in the poor family, the reason why Cui Jiuniang looks down on Li Xin is because Li Xin is neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Xinxiao squinted his eyes and smiled, but did not force it, and then stuffed the shoes and cotton clothes into the old man's hands, and limped back to his bed with the newly bought quilt.

said that it was a bed, but in fact it was just a "nest" made of some straw, and last night, this nest kept Li Xin awake all night.

I don't know if it's because of being frozen to death, Li Xin became extremely afraid of cold.

But now that he has a warm quilt, Li Xin fell asleep comfortably.

In the dream, another memory of Li Xin was placed in front of Li Xin like a video clip.

In the dream, Li Xin saw this unlucky child being denounced as a wild seed by the people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, saw the house slaves driven out of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and saw him and his uncle, huddled in the broken temple, trembling all over.

So, he woke up in the middle of the night.

Li Xin opened his eyes and shrunk into the warm quilt.

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

He could even recall the cold in that ruined temple.

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

According to his original plan, he just wanted to earn some money, and then see if he could return to that glamorous world, if not, he would live well in this world, but now, he wanted to help this unlucky child who was frozen to death.

Thinking of this, Li Xin whispered softly.

"If I have the opportunity, I will give it a try, but it is only a try, and there is no guarantee that it will be ......"
