Chapter 11: Revenge is Expected

After inviting the doctor back, the doctor simply prescribed a prescription, and then collected a few hundred medical fees from Li Xin, and left.

In fact, the charcoal seller's injuries were not serious, just some skin injuries, and this kind of skin injuries did not need to drink medicine, but the old man worked hard to get out of the wooden house for people to burn, and he couldn't get over it, so the doctor prescribed a calming prescription.

The next morning, in the backyard of the inn, Li Xin was boiling medicine while thinking about what happened yesterday.

First of all, one thing is certain, the people of the Hou Mansion did not intend to take their own lives, and if they wanted to die themselves, it could not be easier.

Looking at the words of the big man today, it is estimated that they simply want to get out of the capital.

Li Xin closed his eyes, full of thoughts.

To be honest, he is not a person with a bad temper, if the person from the Pingnan Hou Mansion finds him and tells him in a good voice, give him another sum of money or something, maybe he will leave the capital with the money, after all, in this era, it is the same to live in any city, and if he leaves the capital, he may be able to live a more nourishing life.

However, that Pingnan Hou Mansion ...... But he chose to come hard.

Li Xin opened his eyes and muttered to himself as he added firewood under the medicine jar.

"You've gone too far......"

Cutting off the business of the proud building, Li Xin can understand, but it is too much to burn this wooden house, this wooden house is not Li Xin's, and the old man just ended up with this because he took Li Xin in.

Something had to be done.

But now the most important thing is to find a house to live in, otherwise living in the inn every day is not a matter after all, after all, Li Xin boiled the medicine, and asked the charcoal girl to serve it to the old man, and then he himself walked out of the inn and began to look for a house.

Jiankang City, as the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, the land price in the city is not cheap, so the house is naturally very expensive, and the house price is up, and the rent will not be cheap.

With the help of Yaxing, Li Xin successfully found a small courtyard in the south of the city, saying that it was a courtyard, but in fact there were only three houses, and the objects in it were still very simple, but fortunately, the house was still complete, there was no wind leakage, and it was a place to spend the winter.

The rent is two dollars a month.

To be honest, Datongfang is located in the southern city of Jiankang, and it is also one of the farthest squares from the imperial city, and it is not close to the Qinhuai River, which is considered a "suburb" of the capital.

But now Li Xin urgently needs a place to live, and he doesn't care about this money, so he simply agreed, and after paying two months' rent, Li Xin took his father-in-law and the little girl and moved in.

Although this small courtyard is not very big, it still has an advantage, that is, the previous tenant has just moved out, and the things in the yard are still complete, so Li Xin does not need to buy too many things.

However, the iron pot in the kitchen, as well as the wooden pot and the like, have been taken away, the iron ware of this era is still very expensive, even if the pot is leaking, the people are also making up for it, and they will not think about changing it to a new one, and when they move, they will carry the iron pot on their backs.

After settling down the two grandchildren, Li Xin first bought some food and came back, then squatted down, patted the little girl's shoulder, and said softly: "You take care of grandpa here, my brother went out to buy some things and came back, we just came here, you must not go out." ”

The little girl suffered a big change, and she was also a little cowering at this time, and nodded obediently when she heard the words.

"Brother, you should be careful."

Li Xin nodded with a smile and walked out of the courtyard, before leaving, he hesitated, but still locked the courtyard door.

He wasn't sure if the people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion had noticed that he had entered the capital, but as long as the door was locked, even if the people from the Pingnan Hou Mansion found here, most of them would think that there was no one in the house.

Besides, even if the people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion found out here, they would not dare to burn down the house in the capital.

Li Xin walked all the way to the north city from Datongfang, because the imperial city is sitting in the north and facing south, so the more north the more prosperous, when it came to the victory street, it was already a bustling scene of people coming and going, Li Xin first went to the blacksmith shop to buy an iron pot, and then bought some firewood, rice, oil and salt and other things, and then went to the cotton cloth shop to buy two quilts, and then carried a big cloth bag, and began to walk to the south of the city.

Together, this cloth bag weighs dozens of pounds, and it is very difficult to carry it on your back.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the streets were much more sparse, except for some children who had left school, playing in the streets, and a group of little dolls were singing nursery rhymes in groups.

"Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and it will be twenty-three."

……

"Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns, stay up for a night on the thirty nights, walk the streets on the first and second days of the new year, and ......"

At this time, it is already the lunar month, approaching the end of the year, and the children are most looking forward to the New Year, so they naturally begin to sing nursery rhymes about the New Year.

Li Xin also sang this kind of song when he was a child, and he didn't think about it at first, but as he listened, he suddenly stopped and set his eyes on these children.

The wooden house where he lived was burned, and the person who started it was Jingzhao Mansion in the capital, and there was nowhere to reason for this matter, because he had access to the highest yamen, that is, Jingzhao Mansion, and it was impossible for him to be a commoner to sue the officials with the people, which was undoubtedly an act of death.

Now, he seems to see some hope of revenge on the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

But now is definitely not the time, after all, the little girl is still waiting at home, Li Xin wrapped the cloth on his back tightly, and continued to walk towards the south of the city.

The old man kindly saved Li Xin, and then took him in, but in the end he made himself homeless, no matter what, Li Xin had to settle the two ancestors and grandchildren, at least to make them better than before.

When it was almost evening, Li Xin finally returned to the small courtyard, he first went to the kitchen, put the iron pot that he had spent a lot of money to buy on the stove, and then beckoned to the little girl, and said with a smile: "Girl, come to the fire, my brother will make you something delicious." ”

The little girl nodded happily and hurriedly began to light a fire in the stove.

She would have helped her grandfather burn charcoal, and making a fire was the best skill, and after a while, a strong fire was born under the stove, and the little girl looked up at Li Xin and found that Li Xin poured a small half bowl of oil into the pot in one go.

The charcoal girl's eyes widened.

She used to have a bad life, it would be good to have a meal, usually sorghum noodles or some coarse rice, usually not a little oil and water, but now this big brother actually poured so much oil into it in one go......

In this world, there is no such thing as stir-frying, it is generally "boiled" and then a few drops of oil are dropped.

Therefore, when the charcoal girl ate the first stir-fried dish, tears were about to flow out.

The little girl filled a bowl of rice, filled it with vegetables, and happily brought it to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, it's time to eat......"
