my unparalleled way

Chapter 40
There is a densely packed one-story house in the northeast area of ​​the Academy City. This is the civilian area in this area, and the nearby market, shops, and vegetable market are complete.It was evening, and the streets and alleys of this civilian area were filled with many people returning home after work, saying hello to acquaintances after a day of exhaustion, and talking about prices with shop vendors...

As night fell, lights began to light up in the houses beside the road, and smoke rose from the kitchen.

In this peaceful residential area, there is a very ordinary bungalow.The house is small, made of gray stone, with wooden beams and columns inside.Open the door and enter into a small living room. The first thing you see is a square table with a stool next to it.There are two chairs on the side wall, other than that, there is no other decoration in this living room, not even any calligraphy and painting on the gray stone wall.

There is a door on the left and right sides of the living room, which are two rooms.The furnishings in the room are still simple, apart from a big bed and a desk and chair, there is only one cabinet left.

This is Lin Si and Mu Zheping's "new home" in Academy City, but they are not in the room now, but in a small courtyard behind the living room.

Behind the living room of this house is the kitchen, and behind the kitchen is a small yard about three feet long and wide. In the Academy City, where every inch of land is expensive, it is very rare for a house in a civilian area to have such a yard.

The yard is surrounded by a mix of stones and bamboo fences, and is only four feet high. You can easily see some vegetables growing in the yards of the neighbors on the left and right.

The house rented by Lin Si and Lin Si was unoccupied for a long time, and there were no other things planted in the courtyard except for two big locust trees that could be hugged by one person. It was the weeds all over the ground that they had to clean up for a long time. .

At the moment Lin Si is drawing water from a well in the courtyard, while Mu Zheping is busy washing rice and vegetables.As for the little girl Fang Jiayun, she didn't run around, but sat obediently on a bluestone next to her and watched the two busy people.

After finally settling down, Mu Zheping felt like he had let go of a big rock in his heart. This kind of warm feeling of having a fixed residence and a family of three busy preparing dinner together made him feel that it would be good if he could live in peace like this all the time.

Although Lin Si is also a man...

Lin Si didn't think about this, he was worrying about the money in his pocket.In order to save Du Qi, his package with dozens of gold coins left has long been lost.After leaving Fang Yu, he took the dozens of gold coins in Fang Yu's package and rushed all the way to Qingchuan Liaocheng, and then traveled thousands of miles to the city of academy. There were only a dozen or so of the dozens of gold coins left along the way.

The tuition in Academy City cost four gold coins, and renting a house cost another five gold coins.At this time, he only had five gold coins left on him.

In Rongcheng, two gold coins are enough for a family of three to have enough food and clothing, but in places like Academy City, where prices are relatively high, perhaps five gold coins are enough to make ends meet.

For the first time, he began to worry about money.There wasn't any forest of monsters in the vicinity of Academy City for him to go hunting. Even if there were, now that he was a student and had to take care of Xiaoyun, he didn't have the time at all.

It seems that we have to find a way to make money, he thought silently while carrying the water.

From the moon to the middle of the sky, the noisy civilian area gradually quieted down, leaving only dots of lights.

Lin Si and Mu Zheping were lying in two rooms respectively.Xiaoyun and Mu Zheping slept together, there was no other way, the child was too young to be separated from her.

Lin Si was lying on the bed thinking about going to school tomorrow. He had already discussed with Mu Zheping at dinner time. He would go to school tomorrow, and Mu Zheping would take care of the children at home, and they would switch over the day after tomorrow.

Not knowing what tomorrow will look like, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.I have never been to school, unlike others, who have been educated at home or in nearby junior colleges since they were young.

But I have mysterious filaments to help endorse, ha, don't be afraid!It's just that the mysterious power of practice must be well hidden so that no one can discover it.Otherwise, once the imprint is revealed, facing an enemy of Fang Yu's level, he and Mu Zheping will have no way to resist now, and Xiaoyun will be helpless and even worse...

He shook his head, not daring to think about that scene any more, and secretly cheered himself up.Don't worry too much, there are so many people in Academy City, the only ones who know their own strength are the people in Rongcheng, but they just think that they are ordinary people or normal practitioners.The imprint they can't think of at all.

Besides, it was Du Rong. She also didn't know that her power was not spiritual power.

As long as you are careful and don't shoot, you should be fine.The top priority is to find a way to get some money first, otherwise if something happens to the family...

He was thinking about it, but suddenly he was awakened by Mu Zheping's crazy knock on the door.

Lin Si hurriedly turned over and opened the door, only to see Mu Zheping's anxious expression, "Xiaoyun is sick! His head is so hot and he is still coughing!"

Hearing Mu Zheping's hasty cry, Lin Si hurried into his room, stretched out his hand to touch the forehead of Xiaoyun who was lying on the bed crying, and then put his finger on her pulse door to feel it.

"Fortunately, it's just a common cold! I'll treat it!" Lin Si's expression eased, and it was really hard work for Xiaoyun to follow them all the way.

"That's good! You're really good at studying medicine!" Mu Zheping said happily.

"It's just that I need medicine, wait for me at home, I'll go buy medicine!" Lin Si put on his coat and opened the door while digging out the only gold coins left.

"En!" Mu Zheping felt relieved, he already had a father-daughter relationship with Xiaoyun along the way, even though he was still a child himself.After learning that Xiaoyun was ill, he was afraid that it was an incurable disease, and he almost went crazy at that moment.

Using the power of the imprint on his legs, Lin Si rushed across the empty streets and alleys. Although colds and colds are very common, accidents can happen if you delay.He passed through many houses, and with the reflection of the cold moonlight, his bright eyes scanned the signboards of the shops in front of him like falcons.

Pharmacy!Pharmacy!How the hell did I run so far and haven't seen a drugstore? What a lousy place!He didn't realize that he had just taken a few breaths on the street, as if he had been running all night, he was as anxious as he was.

Finally found!A store with a signboard of "Renji Pharmacy" appeared in front of him and appeared in his sight.Lin Si ran over as if seeing prey in the forest.

The pharmacy is closed!Without hesitation, he slapped the wooden gate frantically!

"Open the door! Open the door!" He yelled, not caring about whether his behavior would cause dissatisfaction among the surrounding residents who were already asleep!
Why don't you open the door!He just took two breaths, and he became impatient. He felt that the people in this store were really dawdling. Could it be that there was no one there?
It never occurred to him that even if the people in the shop heard about it, whether they were willing to open the door would be secondary.Even if you want to open the door, getting up from the bed and putting on your clothes is not something that can be done in two breaths!

It seems that there is no other way!He thought decisively, not realizing that he was already in chaos.

As the power of the imprint circulated, his legs suddenly pushed upwards, and with his long arms stretched, he grabbed the eaves two feet high above the store door.

With strength in his arms, his body climbed onto the roof like a dexterous monster.Tapping his toes on the roof a few times, he came to the backyard of the shop, and then fell directly into the courtyard.

Lin Si worked in Hua Susu's pharmacy for a while. Although this "Renji Pharmacy" is different, it is similar.He easily found the warehouse where the medicine was placed in the courtyard.

The door is locked again!unlucky!He cursed secretly.Don't even think about why people don't lock the door at night and wait for you to enter!
Holding the door lock in his hand, he twisted it hard without thinking, "Click!" The door lock and the hasp were twisted together.

There was no light in the warehouse, and it was originally pitch black. Lin Si was so anxious that he even forgot to close the door, but the bright moonlight came in instead.Under the hazy moonlight, he rummaged through the medicine cabinet in the warehouse.

After all, he had done it in a pharmacy and had memorized "Herbal Collection". After a while, he found the three medicines he needed. After carefully wrapping them up, he put a gold coin on a table in the warehouse.

Familiar with the market, he knows that these medicines are only worth a few silver coins, but there is no time to worry about this now!With the medicine in hand, he flashed out of the warehouse and prepared to go back.

But how could the people in the pharmacy not hear him knocking on the door so loudly.Before he moved too fast, others couldn't get up to check. Now he searched in the warehouse before coming out, and the lights of the houses around the courtyard were already on.

"who!"

"There are thieves!"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy and a clerk opened the door and saw Lin Si coming out of the warehouse with three packs of medicinal materials in his hands.

Lin Si knew that he was reckless, so he didn't step forward to explain, but kicked his legs on the ground again, and jumped onto the roof of a room in the courtyard.

The people living in the pharmacy are some doctors, buddies and shopkeepers, all of whom are ordinary people.Lin Si's method of a practitioner who floated up to the room left them with nothing to do but watch.

Stepping on the ridge of the roof, Lin Si came to the previous eaves again, and then turned around and shouted to the courtyard: "Sorry!"

Then it floated down the street and fled in the direction of his home.

He never imagined how much twists and turns this time stealing the medicine would bring to his future college life. The scene of him turning his head and apologizing under the moonlight had already been seen by a girl.

"Father? What's going on?" The girl is the daughter of the shopkeeper of this pharmacy. After hearing the noise, she opened the door and came out, only to see Lin Si's last look back.

"It should be a thief, go to the warehouse to check what's missing!" The shopkeeper of the pharmacy didn't answer his daughter's question, but directed the waiter, put on his clothes and hurried to the warehouse.

A moment later, in the brightly lit warehouse, a group of people stared blankly around the gold coin on the table.

"Just took some medicine for colds and put a gold coin? It's really generous!" The girl covered her mouth and smiled.

"You girl, why are you still talking for the thief!" The shopkeeper glared at her angrily, and then looked at the twisted door with a painful face and smacked his lips, "The door lock has been twisted!"

"Shopkeeper, do you want to report to the official?" A clerk asked cautiously.

"Forget it, he should be so anxious because some important relative is sick, and he also gave the money." The shopkeeper waved his hand.
