Life is fast, and everyone in the town is busy just to eat three meals a day.

In the eyes of adults, the boys come and go like the wind, and they hurry back and forth in the alleys of the back street every day. Sometimes they carry a bunch of fish, sometimes they carry a few pheasants, rabbits, and water chestnuts full of baskets. Everyone knows that the boy Lin Zhao is working hard to make his life prosperous.

...

At noon that day, Lin Zhao was fishing by the stone bridge in Baiyu Creek. A little girl jumped and jumped up and down the stone bridge behind Lin Zhao with a colorful windmill in her hand.

Su Yuejiu is the only daughter of the Su family in Qianjie, Xiaozhen. The Su family is considered a famous family in the town. Su Yuejiu's father Su Liang is said to be the commander of the Tiebu Camp of the Tianchi Army. He holds a high position. His mother was also the daughter of the wealthy family of the Dachen Dynasty. Even after the Dachen Dynasty destroyed the country, the descendants came to Tianchi Town. The Su family is still one of the few famous families in Qianjie.

Su Yuejiu is six years old, a very cute and beautiful little girl. Everyone in the town likes her. The elders call her Xiaojiuer intimately. Su Yuejiu is not familiar with adults and does not like to play with adults. Her favorite person is Lin Zhao. This big brother who wanders around the White Fish Creek every day and eats is simply a treasure for Su Yuejiu. He has too many magical abilities and ideas.

"Brother Lin Zhao! Brother Lin Zhao!"

When Su Sakejiu ran the eleventh round and back on the stone bridge, she sat beside Lin Zhao, blushed and said, "Brother Lin Zhao, don't you take the celadon? I'll exchange it for maltose, one clove and one piece of maltose!"

Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Yes, but you should keep the maltose for yourself!"

As he said that, Lin Zhao rolled up his pants and went into the water, avoiding the area where Zhang Liucheng, the naughty child, pulled the dog shit, and dug holes on the edge of Baiyu Creek. Most of these holes were lobster holes, one by one, and one by one was accurate. However, the people in the town seemed not to be interested in lobster foods, and no one ate them at all. Even if they caught some, they were just used to feed the animals.

Not long after, Lin Zhao took out six or seven lobsters and threw them all on the shore. Su Yuejiu chuckled like a silver bell, not afraid of shrimp pliers, and one pink and tender little hands. He started running wildly on the stone bridge again, happy and carefree. Lin Zhao didn't know when she left, but when she left, she quietly left a few pieces of maltose next to Lin Zhao and placed it on the stone pier.

Chewing a piece of maltose in his mouth, Lin Zhao continued to fish and felt better. The maltose from Su Sake wine was probably the only sweet taste that Lin Zhao had tasted when he was a teenager.

...

At noon, a girl came at the south gate of the town. She was wearing a long green dress and looked very beautiful. She had a fairy-like aura all over her body. She looked like a fairy walking down from Lingshan. She had beautiful hair and held a long sword decorated with white jade dragon patterns in her hand. When she walked into the town, she was not afraid of being angry at all. Instead, many children greeted her.

"Sister Zhao Yan is back!"

"Yeah."

The woman named Zhao Yan smiled and nodded, walked straight through the front street of the town, entered the back street, and disappeared into the Zhao family's mansion.

In the living room.

Zhao Jin has become a one-armed martial artist. Due to his serious injury, his mood is unstable. He has fallen from the Blood-Enabled Married Veterinary Realm to the Body Refining Realm. He has failed. He leaned in the chair, looking at the woman in green who came in, and just nodded politely: "Aunt..."

Zhao Yan frowned: "What the hell is going on?"

On the side, Zhao Tai frowned and said, "Jin'er didn't know what happened that evil star Lin Zhao. He was injured by Lin Zhao's chin at the beginning. Later, this little beast became even worse. He took the opportunity to sneak attack Jin'er while hunting in the mountains and brutally cut off one of Jin'er's arms. Sister, you are a god practicing on the mountain. You have to make the decision for your only nephew."

"Lin Zhao?"

Zhao Yan was slightly stunned: "That boy from the Lin family? He is not dead yet?"

"I'm not dead, I'm alive!"

Zhao Jin looked resentful and said, "Now Lin Zhao has joined the Tianchi Army and has become a reserve force. I heard that Chu Huaixi has made a special trip to the door and gave Lin Zhao five hundred copper coins. Now he has no worries about food and clothing."

“Hmph~~~”

Zhao Yan sneered: "The rat in the mud is really impossible to step on. Originally, our Zhao family and the Lin family did not violate the rivers. Since Lin Zhao's little beast is so cruel, don't blame our Zhao family for being unrighteous."

Zhao Tai said: "Sister, when will you go over and kill him?"

"kill?"

Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing, looking at her brother, with pitiful eyes, as if she was looking at a ridiculous ant, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to kill someone? It's unnecessary. People like Lin Zhao can cut off his way to live. If you die, let him die by yourself, we don't even need to dirty our hands."

Zhao Tai was stunned and a little embarrassed: "Then...you think about everything."

"Um."

Zhao Yan stood up, held the sword and smiled, "After lunch, I'll go for a walk in the back street."

"good."

...

In the afternoon, a woman in green was swaying in the town with a long sword, returning to her hometown, walking around and looking around, making a fortune, and often took out a green frog to buy dozens of candied haws. She brought a group of children in the town and asked with a smile who would like to call Zhao Yan and give a candied haw. The children shouted, and the adults in the town also watched the Zhao family's daughter come back, and nodded from a distance with a smile.

It was almost dusk that Lin Zhao returned to his ancestral home.

Zhao Yan also happened to pass through the Lin Zhao family's ancestral home, pushed the door open and smiled, "Lin Zhao, do you still remember me?"

"ah?"

Lin Zhao, who was cleaning the fish bubbles, looked up for a while, and smiled and said, "It's Aunt Zhao Yan!"

"Haha, be good, remember me!"

Zhao Yan put a bag of mozzarella on the wooden table in front of Lin Zhao and smiled and said, "I have been practicing in the mountain for many years. I have just returned. I haven't been home for a long time. I'll bring you some food."

"Yeah, thank you aunt!"

Although Lin Zhao was afraid of his and the Zhao family's ties, Zhao Yan was not in a position to invite him out directly when he visited him in person.

"Lin Zhao!"

Zhao Yan squatted beside Lin Zhao, watching him kill fish, and smiled and said, "That boy Zhao Jin... has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. Sometimes he deliberately made bad things. Don't mind the gang between you, I think it's okay. He also cut off his arm and apologized. Don't bother with him anymore. After all, they are all children in the town. If you look down, don't look up. Are you right?"

"right."

Lin Zhao smiled brightly and nodded, "Auntie is right!"

In fact, Lin Zhao secretly complained in his heart: When I was a three-year-old child, I fooled me in a few words. Zhao Jin's arm was cut and his martial arts was cut off halfway. Just based on the family tradition of your Zhao family, would you, Zhao Yan, turn war into jade?

So, although his face was full of smiles, Lin Zhao's vigilance became stronger.

...

“The house is well cleaned up!”

Zhao Yan stood up, looked around Lin Zhao's ancestral house, and smiled and said, "Although the walls are empty, they are clean."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave. The mohua is delicious, don't waste it."

"Um."

Lin Zhao held the mohua and sent Zhao Yan to the door, smiled and bowed in front of several aunts and fourth aunts on the street, and said, "Thank you Aunt Zhao Yan for your mohua!"

"Boy, it's very thief!"

Zhao Yan also secretly complained that thanking herself for giving her mohua in front of everyone means that if Lin Zhao was poisoned to death because of eating mohua, the Zhao family would definitely be implicated. If Zhao Yan can leave, Zhao Tai, Zhao Jin and others will be destined to be investigated by Chu Huaixi and other upper classes in Tianchiling, and may even be denied.

However, the moment he walked out of the Lin family's ancestral home, Zhao Yan gently flicked her sleeves, and a yellow talisman in her long sleeves flew out like fallen leaves, and was escorted to the jujube tree in Lin Zhao's yard, and it happened to be stuck to the most hidden position on the jujube tree. Even Lin Zhao, a martial artist in the blood-activating realm, did not feel it at all.

On the jujube tree, a series of pearl-like dates are still tender, but they will be harvested in one or two months. Then there will be another bumper harvest. Dried dates, soup, and porridge are also available, and restaurants and restaurants in the town are also collected.

...

After Lin Zhao dealt with the fish catch all day, he stretched his waist, but at first glance he saw a ragged child standing outside the door. The boy was about six or seven years old. His hair had not been washed for a long time and had knots. He had many bruises on his face, which seemed to have been beaten. His clothes were even more dirty and extremely thin. He looked at a small pot of fish catch in Lin Zhao's hand with longing.

"you……"

Lin Zhao rubbed his eyes, carefully identified for a while, and recognized him: "Little Stone?"

"Um."

The child nodded repeatedly, and a trace of vitality appeared in his eyes: "Brother Lin Zhao, do you still remember me?"

Xiao Shitou, named Shihu, lived in the town before. I heard that his father was the outer groom of Tianchi Army. When Lin Zhao was eleven years old, Xiao Shitou lived in the town for a year, and then he left with his father. After that, he had no news.

“Come in quickly.”

Lin Zhao stepped forward and pulled Xiao Shitou into the yard, frowned and said, "Why did you do this? Just like a little beggar."

Xiaoshi was bitter, his eyes were red, and he said, "I am now...I am a beggar now..."

"Why did it happen like this? Where is your father?"

"Dad, he..."

Xiao Shitou's tears rolled down and said, "One night a year ago, I was bitten to death by a ghoul who broke into the village... I couldn't survive alone, so I begged all the way back to the town, but everyone... no one knows me anymore. I haven't eaten a bite for three days..."

"knew."

Lin Zhao knew the taste of hunger, and he was really unbearable and said, "You can stay here first. If you have something to eat, you will have something to eat. Don't worry."

Xiao Shitou immediately burst into tears: "Brother Lin Zhao..."

...

Not long after, Lin Zhao made a pot of fragrant rice, cooked a plate of fried pork with garlic, braised fish, and a pair of chopsticks with Xiao Shitou, and had a full meal. After that, he temporarily built a small bed to let Xiao Shitou have a good sleep.

It was night, and it was late and quiet.

"boom--"

A purple thunder fell from the sky and hit the jujube tree in Lin Zhao's home. In an instant, the jujube tree was struck by lightning and the leaves on the upper layer burned one after another.

...

"Um?"
Chapter completed!
