Chapter 10 Repayment of Debt, Justifiably

Chapter 10 Repayment of Debt, Justifiably
The next day, in the early morning hours, the wind was heavy and the snow was violent.

Yu Chen, who sent Mr. Zhao away, got up, lit a fire and cooked to fill the Wu Zang Temple.

Looking out the window, the wind and snow are blowing, and the room is also chilly.

However, Yu Chen has already been born, this bit of severe cold is nothing to him, he doesn't have to be like in previous years, only by hiding under the quilt can he feel the slightest warmth.

But everything has both good and bad sides.

Although the innate body has endless benefits, it also has some disadvantages.

For example... food intake.

Looking at the spotless yellowed porcelain bowl on the table, Yu Chen showed helplessness.

Since he was born, his appetite has been increasing day by day.

In just two meals, the rice for the past three or four days has been eaten, and meat is needed to supplement nutrition.

He calculated, the money that used to be enough for him to live for a month may only be enough for five or six days now.

If things go on like this, the money accumulated over the years probably won't last long.

While thinking about it, he looked at the saving scriptures in the inner scene.

I wonder if I can think of a way to make money?
Not to mention rich and powerful, but at least one must have enough food and drink.

And at this moment, Yu Chen's exceptionally sharp hearing allowed Yu Chen to hear the sound of mourning and joy coming from afar in the wind and snow.

He let go of his thoughts and opened the door to have a look.

In the snowstorm, a funeral procession came up the mountain.

It is no different from the previous funeral.

The Taoist priests opened the way, the big man carried the coffin, and the descendants wore hemp and filial piety.

It's just that Yu Chen took a second look at the young woman holding the portrait.

——He has some impressions of this woman, she is a vendor of a time-honored tofu shop in the Youfang North Street market, Yu Chen used to frequent it, and that woman also knows his miserable life experience, and often wipes off the odds for Yu Chen, she is considered a person My heart is kind.

But at this moment, even if the woman saw the young man looking at the grave, she didn't want to talk to him, she just held the portrait with a sad expression on her face.

On the Qingfeng Mausoleum, some poor people are buried.

So not surprisingly, after a simple burying ceremony, a group of people descended the mountain in a heavy snowstorm.

Only Yu Chen was left standing in front of the door, silent for a long time.

Because of that familiar dim light, permeating the tomb.

Yu Chen hooked his hand, and in the dim light, there was an illusory ghost coming slowly.

She was dressed in a shroud, her face was like bark, she was extremely thin, and she kept muttering,
"Two taels of money...Two taels of money..."

This is an eerie and frightening scene to ordinary people, but Yu Chen has long been used to it, closing the door to save others.

A golden light shot out, and immediately pulled the ghost to the bank of Huangquan River.

At the same time, the smoky gray characters reappeared at the beginning of the Durenjing.

【Nine Wishes】

【Debt repayment】

【Time limit: None】

【There is a reward after everything is done】

Immediately afterwards, a picture scroll like a revolving lantern appeared in front of Yu Chen.

The deceased's surname was Sun, who was over seventy years old. Because he couldn't bear the heavy snow and cold, he left without illness or disaster.

And Yu Chen, who has had several experiences, also knows that generally this kind of deceased will not leave any last wishes.

The old lady Sun who happened to be in front of her, but she didn't want to die in peace, the reason was also related to the gold and silver.

Let’s say Mrs. Sun’s life was simple. Since she was young, she has made a living selling tofu in the markets around Hanqiao.

She has a son who works as a porter in the Zhengde Chamber of Commerce in Tianqiao.

Later, her son married a woman from a neighbor's family, and they enjoyed themselves happily.

But the good times didn't last long. Last spring, Mrs. Sun's son was hit by an unfastened cargo in an accident and died.

As a result, Mrs. Sun lost her son, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun, lost her husband and became a widow.

It was also this year that Mrs. Sun was so sad that she couldn't afford to be ill. The tofu shop was managed by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun.

Fortunately, the Zhengde Chamber of Commerce was quite conscientious and compensated the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law two taels of silver.

But at the beginning of this year, for some reason, this matter was heard by a bully butcher in Youfang Street.

The pig butcher, surnamed Li, was tall and round, with a slender face. His real name was unknown, but he was generally called Li Er in the market.

It should be said that Li Er was not a kind person on weekdays, and he often used that butcher's knife to shout and drink in the market.

Whenever there is any small conflict, they will yell at others.

However, he is strong and strong, and because he has been slaughtering pigs for decades, ordinary people dare not provoke him easily.

What a rascal.

After learning that the neighbor's Mrs. Sun was awarded two taels of silver because of her son's death, this guy came to the door several times, saying that he wanted to repair the house, and borrowed the two taels of silver semi-forced.But it seemed that she was worried that Mrs. Sun would report to the official, and she still wrote the IOU in a decent manner.

This borrowing is more than half a year, and the deadline for the IOU has long passed.

During this period of time, the business of the tofu shop is not good, and the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun, is ill, and the money in the family is still short after collecting money.

Mrs. Sun and her daughter-in-law had no choice but to go to Li Er to pay back the money, but they didn't know that this guy not only refused to pay, but also snatched the IOU, tore it up, and drove the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the house.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are weak and sick, what can they do in the face of that bully Li Er, but accept their fate.

It's not over yet, what makes it worse is that it's freezing cold, and Mrs. Sun's body is already weak. After all, she didn't survive this cold winter, so she kicked her legs and left!

But before she died, she was still thinking about the two taels of silver.

It's not because of money, but because the daughter-in-law, Sun, is waiting for the two taels of silver to buy medicine and see a doctor!

So and so, it turned into a last wish, and I will die with regret.

After a while, the revolving lantern scene was watched.

Yu Chen opened his eyes and realized everything in his heart.

I can't help but sigh in this world, bullies are rampant, and good people can't be safe!
So he was going to go out at night to get back the two taels of silver for Mrs. Sun.

——If it was before, he would definitely have nothing to do with this bully Li Er.

But now, it is different.

It was dark at sunset, and the wind and snow remained.

Misty dome, no moon.

On the rare Qingfeng Mausoleum, a dark figure came down the mountain.

In Weishui County, north of Youfang Street, next to the market, there is a shop.

Heavy snow covered the dark red ground, but the smell of pig blood was still lingering.

Yu Chen walked to the deserted street and looked at the signboard of the shop that was stained black with oil - Li's Butcher Shop!
Well, right here, right place!
After thinking for a while, Yu Chen, who covered Sen Luo's face and was dressed in black, did not break into the butcher shop directly, but took out the paper figure of Mrs. Sun that he had prepared during the day, and knocked on the door.

From time to time, loud voices came from the shop.

"Who? Don't sleep most of the night!"

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and Li Er, with big arms and round waist, came out with fierce eyes, his face was flushed, his body smelled of wine, and he was steaming hot.

But when he opened the door, Li Er didn't see any figure. He frowned and cursed, "That bastard pretending to be a ghost! Grandpa Li found out and cut you up with a butcher's knife!"

After all, the door slammed shut.

Sitting on the table in the center of the shop, he started drinking again.

"Li Er..."

Li Er took a gulp of strong wine, and picked up two cold pork ears dripping with chopsticks. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he heard someone calling his name from the shop!

Li Er's expression changed, he stood up, picked up the heavy butcher's knife on the cutting board of the booth, and looked around.

"Li Er..."

Suddenly, the voice sounded again, like weeping and complaining, extremely penetrating!

Li Er turned his head and looked!
Behind the two hanging pork doors, a hunched figure slowly walked out!
This figure didn't touch the ground, its face was blue and white, it was wearing a shroud, its eyes were dull, and it didn't see any movement from her, just floating towards itself like that!

Li Er shuddered, and he clenched the butcher's knife tightly in his hand!

Then I heard the figure continue,

"Li Er... Li Er... Li Er..."

Sen Sen chanted, as if from the Nine Nether Purgatory, coupled with the whistling wind and snow outside the shop, it was even more infiltrating!
Even Li Er, who has been slaughtering pigs and sheep all year round, couldn't help but feel cold hands and feet, and his whole body was stiff!
