Chapter 4 Red Umbrella

"Guokuo, why do you keep laughing?"

"Do I have it?"

"Guokuo, you're laughing again!"

The corner of Lin Yan's mouth couldn't help but smile, holding Xiaozhi in one hand, and carefully touching the wood in his arms with the other.

That was his future, his hope.

Walking out like this quickly, he soon returned to the alley outside the house.

But just as he walked in, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

At the end of the alley, there were two people standing and squatting, talking in a low voice.

Seeing Lin Yan coming back with Lin Xiaozhi in his arms, the squatting man stood up, with a thick body, dark skin, and a strong physique, he was not easy to mess with at first glance.

And the standing one is the person I met in the alley yesterday!

At the same time, they aimed at Lin Yan... Lin Xiaozhi in his arms.

Lin Yan's heart sank suddenly, and he embraced with both hands instead of one hand, and walked over as if nothing had happened.

The two people on the opposite side looked Lin Xiaozhi up and down with half smiles on their faces, their eyes were unscrupulous, as if they wanted to see Lin Xiaozhi from the inside out.

Lin Yan's whole body tensed up, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Fortunately, until he pushed open the door, entered the room and closed the door, neither of them made any other moves.

After inserting the wooden peg, cold sweat broke out on Lin Yan's forehead, and his back was soaked.

"gone."

"Let's go."

Two low footsteps outside the door, passed by his door from the end of the alley.

Lin Yan exhaled slowly.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, the wooden door shook violently, and they were hammering the door!
Lin Yan reached out and grabbed the thick wooden stick beside the door to hold it against the door.

"Hahahaha!"

But there was a burst of unscrupulous laughter outside, and people gradually walked away.

Lin Yan's heart has sunk to the bottom.

Oops, I'm really being watched!
These damn human traffickers have radar-like eyes, and Xiao Zhi's face is clearly covered with mud, how do they see it?

It's too late to say anything now.

Lin Yan was afraid and angry, her heart was pounding, what should I do?
Consoling the frightened Xiao Zhi, Lin Yan kept thinking while cooking.

Please help Mr. Li?
No, Mr. Li has a cold personality. The relationship between them is purely a transaction, and it is impossible to help him easily.What's more, he couldn't remember more articles in a short time.

Looking for Wu San and Lu Yan?
Not to mention that the three of them are just casual colleagues, the trafficker's target is Xiao Zhi, even if they run away once, they will still come!

unless……

A faint cold light slowly floated in his eyes.

"clang clang"

At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door, and Lin Yan tensed up all over.

"Xiaolin, it's us."

Lin Yan opened a gap, it was Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang next door.

Uncle Wang's face was slightly embarrassed, but when he saw Lin Yan, his expression couldn't help being suffocated, with a frightened look: "Xiao Lin, you..."

"Uncle Wang."

The cold light in Lin Yan's eyes suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that Lin Yan was back to normal, Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "There are two bastards who went door to door to inquire about you, and they will probably come tomorrow!"

"Uncle Wang, do you know who they are?"

"Who else could it be? Damn human traffickers! I know one of them, surnamed Hu, who used to be a kid from our alley, and everyone called him Da Biao. Then he joined the Black Tiger Gang, and people changed, abducted, robbed , It hurts nature and reason. Alas, in this world, a good child, how did you become like this..."

Aunt Wang beside him slapped Uncle Wang on the back: "Don't talk too much! Talk about business!"

Aunt Wang's tone was not very good, Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Uncle Wang murmured: "Xiao Lin, you also know that my grandson Tiger is only six years old this year. Who is this Hu Biao, a human trafficker, I heard that the Black Tiger Gang specializes in abducting boys and girls, and none of them are targeted by them. I can escape. I’m really scared.”

Lin Yan's face gradually turned cold: "Uncle Wang, I did not recruit the traffickers."

"Why didn't you invite it!" Aunt Wang spat in a low voice from behind.

Uncle Wang quickly gave Aunt Wang a hand.

"What do you want me to do? Am I wrong?" Aunt Wang suddenly became excited, "Xiao Lin, don't blame Aunt Wang for speaking badly, you recruited Hu Biao, you have to be responsible. If he hangs around here all day, What about my tiger? He is so cute, he is different from your sister, he is really a treasure in our hands, if Hu Biao targets him, what do you want us to do?"

Lin Yan was already as cold as ice: "What does Aunt Wang mean?"

"What is Hu Biao looking at your sister for? Isn't it just asking for money? I know Hu Biao's father, and I can help you build a bridge to make money and eliminate disasters!"

Uncle Wang also said, "It's best to save money and eliminate disasters. Xiao Lin, you are still young, and you can earn money at any time, so don't be arrogant."

"Then what if Hu Biao refuses to spend money to eliminate the disaster?"

Uncle Wang hesitated, but Aunt Wang waved her hand, "Xiao Lin, Aunt Wang is here, please don't be angry if you say something more.

"Isn't your sister only here for three months? How can there be any feelings.

"Besides, who knows if she is your real sister? So...

"Hey, what door are you closing! I'm your elder, what's wrong with talking to you! Bah! I'm not educated!"

After closing the door, Lin Yan took several deep breaths in a row to calm down the burning anger in his chest.

People's hearts are like ghosts, which is the way of the world.

"Pot pot..."

Lin Xiaozhi stood timidly by the door of the inner room, grabbed the crack of the door, and said in a low voice, "Guokuo, I'm really useless, have I gotten into trouble again..."

Lin Yan's heart trembled slightly.

I remember that in the first few days of her arrival, Lin Xiaozhi was very afraid of strangers, and she didn't know what she had experienced. She always said "I'm really useless", "It's all my fault", "It's all my fault".

After three months of getting along, and education, she has rarely said such words.

Unexpectedly, today, he heard this sentence again.

He rubbed Xiao Zhi's head: "Xiao Zhi, what are you thinking, it has nothing to do with you at all. Come, let's wash our faces and eat."

Hu Biao, the Black Tiger Gang...

Turning around, Lin Yan's hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and his face was dark and terrifying.

Ding'an City is ruled by the powerful, powerful families and gangs.

He never thought of making money with the advantages of the traversers, and it was also because the gang firmly controlled the bottom-level rule of Zhongwaifang.

As long as he makes a little money, these gangs will all surround him like greedy sharks, seeking money and killing him.

"No luck, no luck..."

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Lin Yan took out more than half of the family's savings, a total of more than 2000 Wen, and took care of it carefully.

After sending Xiaozhi to the study first, he rushed to Mihang to find Lao Chen.

"Uncle Chen, I have urgent matters at home today, so I need to ask for leave."

"You know the rules of asking for leave, thirty cents a day will be deducted."

Three hundred wen a month, and ten wen a day.

But rules are rules, Lin Yan is powerless to resist, so he can only nod silently.

Then go to Chengguangfang.

Starting with the word Cheng, it is exclusive to Jiufang in the inner city.

Different from Zhongfang, Jiufang in the inner city has a masonry wall about one foot high, which is isolated from the outside world.

After paying the entry fee of ten cents, Lin Yan went straight to Chengguangfang without caring about his heartache.

People from the outer square had to pay money to enter the inner city, so Lin Yan seldom came to the inner city.

Along the way, there are carved railings and jade bricks, smoked willows and painted bridges. The roads are clean and tidy.

Hewaifang and even Zhongfang belong to two worlds.

Lin Yan lowered his head, asked about the location of Chengguangfang, and rushed straight to Mingyulou.

After asking passers-by, Lin Yan knew that Mingyulou was a restaurant during the day and a brothel at night, and it belonged to the same business as Chunyulou in Waifang.

The difference is that the grade of Mingyu Tower is much higher, and it is only for the nobles in the inner city to play.

"Go, go, whoever is making trouble, hurry up!"

As soon as he approached Mingyu Tower, a young man with head held high chased after him, waving his hands, chasing Lin Yan away like a fly.

Although he is a servant, his clothes are finer than those of Lin Yan.

"My little brother, may I ask Ming Yulou, is there a person named Kuishan?"

"Master Kui? Master Kui is taking a rest today, is he here?"

"I don't know when Master Kui will be here?"

"What are you asking for? You can see Master Kui too? Go, go!"

Lin Yan took out ten coins in a timely manner, and quietly handed them to the boy: "Brother, help me, I really have something to do with Mrs. Kui."

The boy took the copper, and his attitude became a little better: "Master Kui rests for three days every ten days. Today is the second day, and he only comes in the afternoon. You can come back the day after tomorrow!"

After all, I went back.

In two days...

Lin Yan was slightly disappointed, it seemed that it was too late to take advantage of this momentum.

He made up his mind, went out of the inner city immediately, and rushed to the market in Chundufang.

He took out more than 2000 documents in his pocket, and decisively began to purchase in large quantities.

One knife loin, three sheep's feet, a handful of mushrooms, a handful of green vegetables, three jugs of green ant wine, two hemp cloths, a large bag of sawdust, a large bundle of rope...

After spending all the odds and zeros, and hiring a dandan to help protect and deliver the goods, there are only a few dozen pennies left on hand.

After transporting the things back home, Lin Yan knocked on the door of Uncle Wang's house next door.

"Xiao Lin?"

Lin Yan pretended to be helpless: "Uncle Wang, I figured it out, I can't handle it myself. Please ask Aunt Wang to invite both Hu Biao and I am willing to spend money to eliminate disasters."

"Got it figured out? Great!"

Aunt Wang turned around from the back, and said in a strange way: "I thought it was so tough, I couldn't make it through the night, and I kissed my sister."

Lin Yan pretended to be ashamed, took out a small piece of meat from behind, and handed it over: "Aunt Wang, if you forgive me, please go and invite Hu Biao immediately. Today I will be the host and settle this matter!"

Uncle Wang said in shame: "Xiao Lin, what else do you bring here, we..."

Aunt Wang snatched the meat strips from behind and said, "What do you bring? You can't bring anything when you ask me to do something? Xiao Lin is very good at doing things. Listen to your aunt and go to the oil bottle. Aunt will introduce you to someone!" "

"Then it's hard work, Aunt Wang!"

Seeing that Aunt Wang went out to invite someone immediately, Lin Yan just lowered his head to cover the cold light in his eyes, and returned to the room.

Cut the loin into strips, cut the shiitake mushrooms into pieces, pick the green vegetables clean, burn off the miscellaneous hairs of the sheep's hooves with charcoal fire and wash them...

After dealing with these, Lin Yan took out the wooden box of the red umbrella mushroom again.

He took out all four red umbrella mushrooms, and while carefully scraping off the red surface with a knife, he chanted softly in a low tone: "Red umbrella, white stem, after eating, lie down, lie down , sleep in coffins, and bury mountains and mountains together..."
