Chapter 13: Winning five taels of silver ingots
After negotiating with the stall owner for a long time, Lin Chunniang bought eight chicks for [-] yuan. The stall owner also gave her a small basket covered with straw.

When she got up, her ear was pulled by Xi Bao. Following the direction of her little finger, Lin Chunniang saw several sheep grazing with their heads down. One of them was a ewe, and a lamb was drinking milk under the ewe's belly.

Lin Chunniang lowered her head and met the little milk baby's big, jewel-like eyes. She suddenly felt blessed and said, "Xibao, do you want to drink goat's milk?"

Lin Xi: "Yeah." Yes.

Milk-producing cows are hard to find, but isn’t there a milk-producing sheep right in front of us?After buying it back, she can have milk to drink every day like a lamb.

Lin Chunniang stepped forward and asked about the price of the ewe.

"If you want it, girl, I'll sell it to you cheaply, just give me two taels of silver."

Just give me two taels of silver!It sounds like two taels of silver are very cheap.

Lin Chunniang turned around and left.

A flash of silver flashed out of the corner of his eye.

As a "nouveau riche" who had only earned two taels of silver, she couldn't be more sensitive to the color of silver, so she subconsciously looked at it.

I found out that it was really a piece of silver!
Unfortunately, it was not the prize that fell to the ground, but the prize that was placed on the ring trap stall.

It looks like there are five taels, which is a huge amount of money for many people.

Many people gathered in front of the stall, all wanting to try their luck by making a trap to see if they could pocket the five taels of silver ingots.

Lin Chunniang was also moved.

Xibao had brought so much good luck to her family, but she couldn't even afford a milk-producing ewe so that she could drink milk. She felt a little guilty.

If you can win that five tael silver ingot, you will have money to buy a ewe!

Lin Chunniang sent the things she was carrying to the boat first, letting her younger brother watch, then returned to the stall and squeezed in.

I watched others setting traps for a while, thinking silently in my mind not to get caught in the silver ingots.

I don't know whether it was too difficult to set up the trap, or whether her silent recitation had an effect, but the ingot of silver was indeed never taken away by anyone.

Always staying quietly in the corner, exuding an alluring light.

Lin Chunniang endured the pain in her body and spent three cents to buy three rings.

If she fails to hit the trap three times, it means she is out of luck and might as well give up.

Thinking this way, when it was her turn to trap her, she still couldn't calm down. Her heart was beating nervously, hoping that she could trap him.

It turned out that I really got it, but unfortunately it was not a silver ingot, but a wooden comb.

The price of the wooden comb must be more than a penny, so I made a profit this time.

Although Lin Chunniang was disappointed, she was still very happy.

The second lap fell through.

Now only one last lap remains.

Lin Chunniang was about to throw it out when a small hand grabbed the ring and took it from her hand.

She was anxious: "Xibao, this is not for you to play with. Give it to me quickly."

If Xibao accidentally loses the ferrule, wouldn't it be a waste of a penny!
Lin Xi did not return the ring to her, but threw it out.

The movement looked very casual, just like any child throwing something.

But the ferrule happened to fall on the head of the silver ingot, right in the frame.

Lin Chunniang: "..."

Onlookers: "..."

"Ah! This kid is so lucky. He just threw it away and actually hit that silver ingot!"

"This little baby looks like the boy in the painting that year. He is lucky at first glance." Lin Chunniang reacted and was ecstatic. That was five taels of silver ingots!
However, at this time the stall owner said: "Girl, your child has crossed the line and cannot be counted."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water being poured down her face. Lin Chunniang smiled and subconsciously looked at the red line in front of her.

The red line is the dividing line, and the person making the circle must stand outside the red line.

"Where did I cross the line? Am I not standing outside the red line properly?"

Stall owner: "You haven't crossed the line. The child in your arms has."

Lin Xi was tied to Lin Chunniang's chest, and her little feet were hanging just above the red line. If I had to say it, she had indeed crossed that line.

On the second floor of Deyue Tower, by the window.

Several dishes were placed in front of Lin Wushang and Song Xingyi, including fish head stewed with tofu, fish breasts, steamed fish tails... If it weren't for a pork elbow mixed in, it would have been a full fish feast.

These fish dishes are made from the big black grass carp. Of course, the restaurant's chef did not cook them for free, Song Xingyi paid a processing fee.

Song Xingyi scooped a bowl of fish head and tofu soup for his cousin and told him: "Be careful of the thorns."

Lin Wushang nodded.

Just after taking a sip of the soup, a chopstick of pork elbows with rich red sauce was brought to me from the other side.

The elbow was so crispy that it swayed like sauce-colored curds with the slightest touch of the chopsticks.

Lin Wushang: "Cousin, you can eat it yourself. Don't worry about me. I will pick it up myself."

Song Xingyi stopped caring about him and started to enjoy the meal himself.

Lin Wushang looked at the elbow meat in the bowl, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and ate it. The taste was unexpectedly delicious, and it did not cause any discomfort to his gastrointestinal tract.

In his last life, he was hit by a poisonous arrow on the battlefield. After recovering from the injury, there were still residual toxins in his body. After that, his health deteriorated and he couldn't eat any food with strong taste.

Now reborn as six years old, although his body is not as healthy as his peers, he can at least eat and sleep.

After tasting the delicacy of the pork elbow, his appetite was whetted, and he picked up a piece of fish meat as thin as a piece of paper. The skylight from the window filtered in, illuminating the fish meat like a crystal white butterfly.

I dipped it in the vinegar dish and put it in my mouth. The fish meat was sour and fresh with a hint of sweetness, and it was extremely delicious.

Although the food was delicious, one should not be greedy for too much. Lin Wushang put down his chopsticks when he was about half full, picked up the tea cup and took two sips to relieve his fatigue.

Song Xingyi across from him was still engrossed in eating. Lin Wushang looked out the window, watching the boats passing by in the river, as well as the pedestrians and vendors on the opposite bank. He didn't feel noisy, but liked the atmosphere of fireworks in this peaceful world.

Only after experiencing war can we cherish the current peace more.

As for those who try to destroy this peace, let them report to the Palace of Hell.

Thinking like this, a trace of murderous intent faintly leaked out of him.

Song Xingyi suddenly felt a chill on his body. He thought it was the cool breeze of early spring blowing in from outside the window, so he stood up to close the window.

My cousin has been sick and in trouble since he was a child, but now his health is finally better, but he can't catch the cold.

Just as the window was about to close, the scene of Lin Xi throwing out the silver ingot in the trap flashed before Lin Wushang's eyes.

How could such a young child win the farthest silver ingot on the stall?

Is it a coincidence or just good luck?
Lin Wushang reached out and pressed the window, "Cousin, I want to take a look again."

Song Xingyi had always felt very sorry for this little cousin whose mother died early and whose real father was unreliable. Thinking that he would rarely have the opportunity to come outside, he couldn't bear it, so he stopped insisting on closing the window.

He just said uneasily: "Let me know if it gets cold."

When he brought the person out, he couldn't let him catch a cold.

Otherwise my grandfather would have to whip him.
