Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 25: 25: A fruitful harvest
(Critical Tuesday, please bookmark and read.)
Slanting wind and drizzle, mule cart and dog.

It's winter.

Chen Jin had lunch in the city and then hired a mule cart to return to Chenze Township.

After the killing of Ou Hu and Jia Gong last night, I thought the whole city would be under martial law and a large-scale manhunt would be launched. But now it seems that the county magistrate Song in the government office is a wise man.

Chen Jin did not feel complacent. To him, doing these things was nothing.

In fact, except for the man in black who knows some unconventional techniques, the rest are just ordinary people who are not up to par.

Perhaps for others, daring to kill people in the government, or even officials, is simply shocking and treasonous.

But in Chen Jin's eyes, powerful officials are no different from ordinary people. Regardless of their status, they all have only one life.

Those who are unkind should be punished.

The atmosphere in the city is relaxed and Chen Jin can come and go freely.

Before going back, he made another big purchase.

But he didn't have that much cash on hand, and the five silver notes were too large to use, so he pretended to be a fool and sold and pawned all the valuables he had obtained from Liu Laoer and his men.

These things are quite hot to handle, and when you handle them, you may attract attention.

Of course Chen Jin is not afraid of those troubles, but he can't kill everyone who comes.

He's not a born killer.

However, when pawning the item, he got an unexpected surprise: he actually found the scholar's family heirloom inkstone.

It was probably Liu Laoer who sold it here.

After asking the price, Chen Jin bought it back directly, returning the jade to its rightful owner and fulfilling his wish.

After I had money, I started shopping and filled almost half of the car. It can be said that I returned home with a full load.

In addition to various things, there was also a dog in the carriage.

This is a stray dog without an owner. It looks quite shabby and miserable, with a thin body, scabby skin, bald tail, and a gap on its right ear.

But its eyes were black and bright, flashing with a very human look.

From the moment Chen Jin picked it up on the street, it was no longer a stray dog, but became a "god".

Yes, it is the dog-like household god in Jia Gong’s house.

But now the shape has undergone tremendous changes. The carrier has changed from a statue with a human body and a dog head to a living dog.

Such magical powers made the god terrified, yet convinced, and he immediately chose to surrender.

In its eyes, Chen Jinzhi was like a true immortal.

If you follow a true immortal, your family and friends will ascend to heaven. This is a rare opportunity that can only be encountered by chance.

The only drawback is that this stray dog has a very bad appearance. It is dirty and smelly and needs to be cleaned up.

Moreover, the name given by the True Immortal Master is a bit vulgar.

It's called "Wangcai."

You can tell he is a veteran actor as soon as you hear him.

But on second thought, the word "cai" can be pronounced as "cai", and "wangcai" can also be understood as "wangcai", which means the abundant talent of the owner, and it immediately becomes elegant.

Then its mood became happy, and it shook its head and wagged its tail.

Chen Jin glanced at it and said, "Sit down."

Wangcai sat down quickly, not daring to move, for fear of upsetting his master and having him thrown away.

Chen Jin was quite satisfied with this dog. Otherwise, he would not have resorted to such means to take it out of the statue.

As for the statue, it lost its divine aura and soon broke into pieces. It was buried in a pit and disposed of cleanly.

"Sir, Chen Zexiang is here."

At this time, the coachman reported.

Chen Jin stuck his head out and gave directions to the other party, all the way to the door of his uncle Chen Abu's house, and then stopped.

Because it was raining, Chen Abu was at home and was very happy to see Chen Jin coming back. "Ajin, why did you buy so many things again?"

Chen Abu felt a little dizzy.

My nephew is so lavish with his money that even the village head Chen Jiande and other gentry and landlords feel ashamed of themselves.

This is no longer being extravagant, but can be called "wasteful".

In the simple concept of the villagers, if they have money, they will not buy this or that, but build a house and buy land.

Otherwise, you can just get married.

That is the foundation for survival and the real thing that can be passed down from generation to generation.

When it comes to eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, just make do with what you have, there's no need to be so particular.

So when Chen Abu saw Chen Jin spending money recklessly, he felt really distressed.

Chen Jin laughed, holding a large bundle of paper bags in his hand, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Uncle, I got a prescription from a friend called 'Rejuvenation Soup', and I heard it's quite effective. So I gave you a course of medicine, boil it and take it, and see how it works."

This interruption really drew Chen Abu's attention. He blinked and asked, "Rejuvenation Soup?"

As the name suggests, hearing this name is enough to make people imagine a lot.

Chen Jin added: "Uncle, this medicine is really good. You can boil a packet every night, boil it into a bowl of water, and drink it. The specific effect varies from person to person. But if you insist on drinking it, after seven days, you will be full of vigor and vitality."

Chen Abu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. His face turned red and he asked hurriedly, "How much is the medicine? I'll give it to you."

It has to be said that Chen Jin's move hit his soft spot, and he couldn't even say no.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "We are a family, no need to be polite."

At this time, Chen Li came over and asked, "What are you mumbling about here?"

Chen Abu quickly pulled her into the house and started muttering.

After a while, the two came out, their faces a little red.

This scene made Chen Min curious, but the girl's eyes were quickly attracted by the dog: "Brother, why did you bring a dog back? This dog is so ugly."

Wangcai: "..."

Feeling hurt and aggrieved.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "This is a stray dog. It's very pitiful. It has nothing to eat and was beaten. I fed it something and it followed me back. Don't look at its ugly appearance, but it has a good temper and is very obedient."

Chen Min asked again: "How obedient are you?"

Chen Jin pointed his finger and ordered, "Wangcai, go kowtow to your uncle and aunt."

Hearing this, Wangcai no longer cared about being wronged, and immediately ran to Chen Abu and Chen Li, bent his hind legs, used his front legs as hands, and kowtowed to the ground with his head, respectfully.

He was still barking, as if saying, "Uncle and aunt, I kowtow to you."

Seeing this, Chen Abu and his wife were stunned.

It is very common for rural families to keep dogs, because dogs can guard the house. Some dogs, if well-raised, can be equivalent to half a labor force.

Once you have trained the dog well, it will naturally be obedient, wagging its tail and coming when you call it.

However, it is really novel to see someone kowtow to others like Wangcai.

Chen Min exclaimed in surprise: "What else can it do?"

Chen Jin replied: "As long as it can do it, it can basically do it."

"for example?"

"Hmm? Wangcai, go get me some water from the water tank so I can wash my hands."

After a while, it was seen biting the handle of the ladle with its mouth and bringing a full ladle of water to Chen Jin.

Chen Abu and his family looked at each other and thought the same thing:

This dog has become a genius...
