Chapter 30 The plan went wrong (please follow up)

At noon.

Chen Lin went out with a hatchet and a backpack, and then walked a few steps in the snow.

I heard the room next to me suddenly open.

Auntie poked her head out, as if expecting something.

After seeing it was him, he forced out another smile:
  "Alin is going into the mountains again today?"

"Well, go into the mountains to find something, you don't have to hunt." Chen Lin smiled back, then looked at the anxiety between his aunt's brows, and had an idea in his mind.

"Auntie is waiting for Uncle Ping?"

"Well," the aunt sighed, "it stands to reason that he should be back in the next few days."

"He told me before that if the logging goes well, he might be able to come back before the year..."

"Now I'm already in the second grade of junior high school!"

Chen Lin could understand his aunt's mood.

It was Uncle Ping's first time to go into the mountains to log wood with someone, and he had spent money to buy a place to go in. If something unexpected happened, this small family might not be able to afford it.

In my memory, Uncle Ping was a very good man. He repeatedly persuaded his father, a bad gambler, to stop.

"It's probably just because the wood was cut slowly and delayed. There are so many people in the logging team, so it's rare for anything to happen."

Chen Lin couldn't bring Uncle Ping back from the snow-capped mountains right away. He could only offer a few symbolic words of comfort and find an appropriate time to say goodbye.

Walk to the mountain pass.

First he looked up at the sky.

The sky is gray today and there is a chance of snow.

Although it is already the first month of the year, the cold winter in Xiaojinshan has not completely passed yet.

In my memory, it takes at least February before the snow in the mountains starts to melt.

"This trip is just for scraping tree bark. I'll probably be back in the afternoon. It shouldn't snow yet."

Chen Lin made a plan in his mind and kept walking through the mountain pass.

Looking up, I found a figure sitting on the big rock opposite.

A burly man like Chen Xiangyuan, with a beard and an old look, looked like a gangster with a knife stuck in his waist.

Just looking at this physique, for a moment, he thought it was Chen Xiangyuan who ran into the mountains to block him...

this person?
  Chen Lin's mind changed.

But the person opposite had already spoken first:
  "You must be Chen Lin!"

"The junior brother Xiangyuan mentioned is me. Hurry up and lead the way. First, take me to the place where the ghost-toothed pig was found. What is it called Beisong Ridge?"

"..."

Chen Lin didn't speak. He was wondering where he had offended that Chen Xiangyuan.

"Hey! Why are you so dazed? You don't want to earn three taels of silver anymore?"

The big man stared and jumped down from the stone, like a big bear landing on the ground, his two feet smashing two holes in the two inches of snow.

Snowflakes were flying for a while.

Chen Lin sighed secretly and said:

"Hero, didn't your senior brother say that you wanted to go to the Ice Cave? He also told me that I thought it was secluded there, and it might be the den of the Ghost-toothed Pig."

"Ah! Oh, I told my senior brother so, but now I want to go to that mountain first."

Hey!
  The stubborn Chen Xiangyuan actually found someone to go to the mountains to block me!

Chen Lin's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly said:

"It's better to go to the Ice Cave first, and then go to Beipong Ridge after going there. It's a convenient way."

"Okay, okay, listen to you, you are the guide!"

"Then let's walk along the north side first."

"Good good."

The strong man walked carelessly in front.

Behind him, Chen Lin held the hatchet and reached out to touch his arms.

……

……

county seat.

Chen Xiangyuan patted the door of Junior Brother Han's house, but there was no response for a long time. Apparently no one was home.

"This idiot!"

He couldn't help but curse angrily.

There is no use staying here any longer.

Chen Xiangyuan simply turned around and left, walking all the way towards his home. His mind was in chaos and he didn't know what to think.

"Get out of the way!" There was a sudden shout from the other side of the street, and the riding crop crackled in the air.

The sound of rolling wheels was mixed with the sound of people fleeing in fear.

Chen Xiangyuan looked up and found that it was the He family's carriage that he was familiar with.

The person sitting above should be Mr. He.

Because there was a sika deer and leopard cat hanging on the car.

I don’t know why this rich man suddenly fell in love with hunting.

But if this were not the case, I would not be able to climb up to these wealthy households...

I was thinking about it.

The carriage passed quickly and then slowly stopped.

The slave's shout came from the front of the car:

"Chen Xiangyuan, Master wants you to get in the car!"

"it is good!"

Chen Xiangyuan did not expect that the carriage would stop suddenly, so he quickly followed it.

Lower your head and board the luxurious carriage.

The decoration inside the carriage has been replaced with various animal skins.

The strange-looking young master of the He family held the two beauties in his arms and said carelessly: "Chen Xiangyuan, do you recognize Fan Yishi, the man who beat the ghost-toothed pig?"

"...It's considered acquaintance." Chen Xiangyuan was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Did Young Master come to him to ask about Ghost Yazhu?"

"Yes, he must have some kind of hunting secret. I plan to ask him for advice, and then go into the mountains to find the ghost-tusked pig."

"That would be his pleasure!"

"Stop talking about this. Since you know him, you can take me to see him after I go to Shanshi to deal with today's prey."

"Okay." Chen Xiangyuan did not dare to refuse at all.

At the same time, my heart couldn't help but sink.

He turned his head and looked outside, seeing the ugly faces of passers-by who were trying to avoid him in fear.

The various pavilions in the city also flashed by in the small windows.

The carriage is heading to the mountain city.

a month ago.

At that time, he was riding a tall horse, majestically leading the way in front of the carriage, and took Mr. He to Xiaojin Mountain for hunting.

At that time, I met Chen Lin at the mountain pass.

He casually said that Chen Lin usually had no money and lived a difficult life. As a result, Mr. He was so kind that he allocated ten taels of silver to give to Chen Lin.

Finally, when he returned to the county town, Mr. He bumped into Chen Lin buying this and that in the mountain market, carrying a bunch of things in his hand...

It took him a lot of effort and good words to get around this detour.

I thought things would just end like this.

The twelve taels of silver reward that was supposed to be given to Chen Lin, but the young master didn't take it back, so he swallowed it himself.

After all, he is just a woodcutter in the mountains.

There will never be a chance in this life to talk to someone as noble as Mr. He.

That's what he thought at the time.

But what he didn't expect was.

After that, Chen Lin went to the mountain market every day to sell snakes.

In just a few days, the reputation spread throughout the mountain city, and it shows no sign of dying down until now.

Even when people talk about snakes, they will mention Chen Lin's name.

If only that was it...

The key is--

This Mr. He not only likes hunting, but also goes to the mountain market to sell the prey he catches!

Moreover, recently this hunter often asked himself to find some famous hunters to meet him.

If this continues, sooner or later he will notice Chen Lin.

When the time comes, I will no longer be able to hide the fact that I pocketed ten taels of silver reward.

The more Chen Xiangyuan thought about it, the heavier he felt.

He thought of Junior Brother Han who he had arranged for, and he was probably blowing in the wind at the mountain pass.

"Make a new plan another day."

"Just blind him."

"This will make you a useless person. From now on, stay in the house and don't come out to harm others..."
