Chapter 382 The girl who sold her body to bury her father
Lin Yanli saw the contempt in the wine shop owner's eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. Li Chang immediately took a step back, stepped on the stool with one foot, pulled out the sword case behind him with his right hand, and spun it around in the air.
Finally, he slammed it on the table.
boom……
The table could not bear the weight of the sword box and cracked into several pieces. Several silver ingots on the table fell to the ground, frightening the two little girls in exotic dancer costumes to hide behind them.
Lin Yanli held the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper, your table is a bit old."
The wine shop owner's eyelids twitched. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the young boy in front of him in disbelief.
What happened to him today? He looked wrong several times in a row. What kind of slave was he? He was clearly a martial artist who traveled around the world. With such good skills, he went to the Jinling Palace to be the sword-wielding guard!
He squeezed out a smile and said: "Miss is right, the tables and chairs in our store are indeed a bit old. I will replace them all with new ones tomorrow. I will send the waiter to take the drinks Miss asked for to Anlin Inn tomorrow. I will
Our store's century-old signboard swears that we will never be short of money, so don't worry, Miss."
"Remember to make a list, I forget things easily." Lin Yanli nodded, put down the tea bowl, then carried the wine jar with both hands, and walked out of the wine shop in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
The wine shop owner felt a sense of sadness when he saw Lin Yanli lifting the wine jar so easily.
It seems that he is really old, his eyesight is bad, and he can't even see people clearly.
After leaving the winery, Lin Yanli and Li Shang went to a deserted alley and put two jars of wine into storage bags. They then went to several other wineries and put "Osmanthus Branch" and "Spring Breeze Lai"
Two drinks were included in the bag.
When passing a street corner, Lin Yanli and Li Chang both stopped.
Under the scorching sun, a young girl knelt on the roadside and sold her body to bury her father.
The high-temperature green bricks baked her knees red and hot, and her exposed skin peeled off a layer of skin under the strong light.
Next to the girl is a straw mat. There is an exposed hand in the straw mat. The arm is shriveled and covered with green spots. It looks very scary.
People were coming and going on the road, but few people stopped and stayed away.
Lin Yanli stood with her arms crossed and heard someone murmuring in a low voice in the distance.
"This girl has a hard life. A few years ago, her mother was dragged away by wolves. Now her father has contracted a strange disease. It's really pitiful."
"Isn't that right? His father took medicine and ruined the family. Now he just kicked off his legs and left. How will the girl survive?"
"I heard from the doctor that his father's disease is contagious. Which gentleman would dare to risk the death of his whole family to buy her? I see, this girl has no chance of survival."
Lin Yanli could clearly hear the woman chewing her tongue.
Li Chang watched eagerly as the little girl next to her came to the girl. She knelt down and pushed the girl's dirty hair away from her forehead with her hands.
The girl who sold her body to bury her father raised her head. Her eyes were lifeless and without tears. Her face was covered with dust and stains. Maybe she hadn't drank water for too long, and her lips were dry and chapped.
Lin Yanli raised his hand to lift the girl's pointed chin, and said softly: "I paid for you to bury your father, but I didn't buy your body. I lent it to you and will pay it back later. If you agree, you can
tell me your name."
When the girl heard this, there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. She nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Song Zhiyu."
"Very good!" Lin Yanli raised the corner of her mouth and looked up at Li Chang beside her, "Li Chang, help her bury her father. If you need more money, just use money. I'll wait for you at the inn.
"
After saying that, Lin Yanli gently shook his sleeves without taking away any clouds.
Li Chang watched Lin Yanli walk away, pulled the heavy sword case behind him onto his shoulder, walked to the girl, knelt down, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "My name is Li Chang, come with me.
"
The girl raised her head and felt that the boy in front of her was very good-looking.
Lin Yanli walked through several streets with his hands in his sleeves, thinking about the corpse he just saw.
Although he only saw a hand, Lin Yanli already knew why the girl's father died.
Lin Yanli's eyes turned cold as he thought of the ghost that Mr. He in the inn had mentioned earlier that liked to rip out people's internal organs.
Mortals in the secular world walk through mountains and rivers, experience rivers and lakes, and when they encounter injustice, they will howl in anger and draw their swords to help.
As a mountain immortal, if you go down the mountain to experience it, if you are not able to handle it, forget it for now. If you are able to handle it, you should use your sword.
Lin Yanli rubbed her fingers and stopped under the eaves of a house. She took out three coins and bought half a watermelon, sat down on the spot, and started to eat happily.
If the guess is correct, it should be a ghost in the first two realms. At most, it is the peak of the second realm. It is not troublesome to solve.
After quickly chewing half of the watermelon, Lin Yanli took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.
Li Zhujiu has a pure heart, and the killing power of a flying sword is astonishing. Killing a second-level ghost is like eating and drinking water.
Lin Yanli reached out her hand to cover the sun in the sky and narrowed her eyes.
All you have to do now is wait.
When Lin Yanli returned to the inn, it was already dark. After sitting on the threshold of the inn and waiting for a while, he saw Li Shang, who had returned late.
Song Zhiyu buried her head and followed Li Shang, holding a small wooden box in her arms, which contained her father's ashes.
Li Shang came to Lin Yanli and handed the list he copied into Lin Yanli's hand. He counted the names like pouring beans: "The sandalwood box cost ten taels of silver, and the emcee spent forty taels."
Silver, the wood for the cremation cost five taels of silver. The official's servants spent ten taels of silver. They chose a land owned by the government and spent fifty taels of silver. The official said that they would send people to dig the grave today and they could do it tomorrow.
Buried."
Lin Yanli nodded, folded the list and put it in his sleeve.
The slovenly girl hugged the wooden box in her hands tightly, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she said with some confusion: "They said I am sick, aren't you afraid?"
Lin Yanli raised her eyebrows and grunted, "Who are you afraid of? Afraid of you? If you were sick, you would have lived in a box with your father long ago."
Although it sounds ugly, it is indeed the truth.
Lin Yanli stretched, stood up from the threshold, and patted the dust on her dress, "Your father died of a strange disease. It's normal for others to be afraid."
"Li Shang, take her to my room and ask the boy in the inn to prepare hot water so that she can take a bath."
Li Chang agreed decisively and entered the inn first. After a few breaths, he walked out of the inn and looked at Song Zhiyu, "Come with me."
Song Zhiyu nodded and paused as she raised her legs to cross the threshold. She turned back to look at Lin Yanli, her chapped lips slightly opened.
