Chapter 10 Letters and Chicken Soup

The little carpenter looked up and found a girl in blue shirt standing outside the wall, but it was Miss Xiaoya from the Liu family.

After not seeing her for a few days, she was even more outstanding, wearing a big, shiny braid, and looking at him in surprise.

The little carpenter was naturally worried and angry about the Liu family. After all, his master was plotted against him, but it was because of the Liu family. However, the Liu family not only did not stand up to help, but also took advantage of the situation and drove him away. He also confiscated all his money, causing him to wander on the streets and eventually "fall" into Wu Banxian's hands.

However, the little carpenter did not have much negative emotions about the girl in front of him. After getting along these days, he learned more about the Liu family, a illegitimate lady, and knew that her status in the Liu family was not high, and she was not liked by Master Liu, and no one was in charge of him. She was more like a wild girl.

Such Liu Xiaoya will only make people feel distressed.

The little carpenter replied: "Do you have something to do with me?"

Liu Xiaoya said: "After something happened in Xinzhai construction site, I couldn't find you. I asked around, but they refused to tell me, but I knew that the county's public servants would not let you go, you must be still in the town - they all said that the person who killed Erniu and Laoma was your master, but I think they were talking nonsense, your master is such a good person and has the ability, how could he do whatever he could do? Children all know about this, why don't they know? They are all talking lies with their eyes open. I'm afraid you are wronged and want to apologize to you..."

A good word warms three winters, and a bad word hurts people in June. After the incident that day, the little carpenter suffered all the grievances. At this moment, when he heard Liu Xiaoya's words, his eyes suddenly turned red.

However, what she said only represents her position and has nothing to do with the Liu family. The little carpenter was worried about her situation. The anger had long been resolved, so she said in response. When Liu Xiaoya saw the little carpenter, she was sincerely happy. After apologizing, she asked the little carpenter, saying, do you live with Wu Banxian?

The little carpenter said right, and Liu Xiaoya said, "Wu Banxian, a figure like a god, people say that he is very accurate in fortune telling. The first five hundred years and the next five hundred years are all in calculations and have a high prestige. If you are here, Dayong and the others will not cause trouble for you, okay."

The little carpenter couldn't help but snorted in his heart, thinking about what was good. If he couldn't escape, he would soon become a mute and a cripple.

If that were the case, what's the difference between him and he was alive and dead?

However, the next second, he came up with an idea.

The county's officials could not trust it, but the Liu family could not trust it, but there was someone he trusted the most in this world.

If he can be informed, with his intelligence, he will definitely be able to find a way.

I just hope that the address he left before could be contacted.

The little carpenter asked Liu Xiaoya, "Can you help me, can you send me a letter?"

Liu Xiaoya was surprised and said, "What kind of letter should I send?"

The little carpenter said that I have a friend who has a good relationship. I always communicate with each other every once in a while and tell me if there is any other reason. But now my master and I have been collected by your Liu family. I don’t have postage, so I can only ask you to send it out.

Liu Xiaoya asked, "Are you still able to read? Where can I send it? Men and women?"

The little carpenter replied: "I send it to Canton, it's a man."

Liu Xiaoya nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I can help you. But there is no post office in the town, so I can only ask someone to go to the county. Moreover, the world is not peaceful now, and the postal route to Guangzhou may not be able to be accessible, I am afraid you may not be able to send it there."

The little carpenter said helplessly: "It's not an urgent matter. Whether it can be received is left to fate."

Liu Xiaoya no longer said that, the little carpenter immediately returned to the cottage and found paper and pen on the table where Wu Banxian approved the documents. He grindled ink and wrote the article - he learned to read, which was taught by his master Lu University. Because Lu University often needed to draw talismans, he wrote very well. The cursive script was passed on to the little carpenter.

The above letter naturally did not dare to entrust them all and explain the reason. Instead, he briefly talked about his current situation, as if he was talking about depression and complaining. Even if others saw it, they would not see too many problems.

But at the end, he said two greetings that were not related to the main text, and these two sentences were the code words agreed upon by the two.

The meaning inside is "I am in trouble, I hope to save me."

After writing the letter, the little carpenter gave the money and handed it to Liu Xiaoya. Liu Xiaoya took it, blew the ink traces, then looked at it, and said, "Why are the words you wrote like ghost-drawing talismans, it is messy and not neat at all."

The little carpenter did not explain much to her and gave it to her. He repeatedly reminded him that this is very important to him and please be sure to mail it out.

Seeing that he was so serious, Liu Xiaoya promised him that he would find someone to do it when he went back.

The little carpenter remembered Dayong's prejudice against him and told him in a specific way: "You must find someone who can trust this matter, don't let Dayong know about it, otherwise he will definitely be in trouble."

Liu Xiaoya said yes, I'll leave it to my uncle to do it. Don't worry, he will never miss the situation.

Hearing this, the little carpenter breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xiaoya was still waiting to say something to the little carpenter, but the little carpenter was anxious to send the letter, because it was not just a letter, but a hope.

But he was not easy to drive people away. After thinking about it, he returned to the house and took out the wooden sculpture he used to pass the time these days, that is, the statue of the child, and handed it to Liu Xiaoya, saying, "Didn't you do last time? I gave it to you. Although it was not polished, it also represents my wish."

Liu Xiaoya was a childish person. After all, she was very happy to get this thing. She took it and looked it up and left happily.

After seeing Liu Xiaoya away, the little carpenter returned to the room and went to see the mute again. Seeing that he had been working in the kitchen, boiling water, and plucking the feathers for the caught chicken, he felt relieved.

At noon, the mute stewed chicken soup. When it was served on the table, it was strong and fragrant, and there was a sweet Chinese herbal smell.

The mute pointed to the casserole and asked the little carpenter to eat. The little carpenter invited him to join him, but the mute shook his head and picked up the corn rice and pickled vegetables next to him.

Obviously, this pot of chicken soup was for the little carpenter to eat, and the mute had no share.

If the carpenter refused on weekdays, he would accept it happily and eat it. However, when he heard the conversation between Wu Banxian and the man last night, he couldn't help but become scared, afraid that the medicinal materials in the chicken soup might be poison that hoarse his throat.

So he insisted on giving the mute food, but the mute seemed very resistant and even moved his job directly to the yard.

The little carpenter was confused and didn't know what to do.

If you eat it, you may be poisoned and dumb.

If the mute tells Wu Banxian, the old fox will probably realize that he has been exposed. If you find a helper at that time, it will be a dead end.

Can you escape?

At that time, the little carpenter Gan Shisan felt the difficulty of life and the difficulty of choice for the first time.

For the first time, he had no appetite for a pot of fragrant and oily chicken soup.

After hesitating for half a minute, the little carpenter finally made a bold decision - he took out a pottery basin from the cupboard, poured most of the chicken soup into it, and then removed the bones from the chicken inside, put the bones on the table, and threw the chicken into the pottery basin, making it so much that he applied some oil on his mouth, hid the pottery basin, and scooped half a bowl of corn rice under his belly.

When the little carpenter was doing these things, he kept paying attention to the outside. Fortunately, the mute seemed to have not come in and found out.

After a quarter of an hour, the mute came in. The little carpenter pretended to be overeating and walked out of the house in front of the mute. Then he came back quietly, but saw the mute walking to the table, picking up the remaining chicken soup, drinking it whisperingly, picking up the chicken bones on the ground, putting them in his mouth and chewing them.

Obviously, he thought it was a waste for the little carpenter to eat.

Seeing his behavior, the little carpenter was even more confused and became a little suspicious - was there no mute medicine in this chicken soup, and it was really Wu Banxian who nourished him?

Or, the mute is unaware?

The little carpenter was full of questions, but he didn't dare to say much. When the mute finished it, he took out the hidden pottery basin when he went out to collect firewood. Looking at the fragrant chicken and oil soup inside, he swallowed his saliva. In the end, he didn't dare to eat it. Instead, he poured it into the medicine garden in the backyard and hid it with soil.

After finishing all this, there was no one at home. The little carpenter thought it was a good opportunity, and couldn't help but thrive. Then he went out by a tragic act.

He didn't know whether Wu Banxian had coaxed him. If the old fox had really gone to the county town, he would have escaped and might have escaped from the clutches of his enemies.

As for Lin Yimin's explanation that he cannot leave the three hurdles, it seems less important in front of his life.

This chaos is a chaotic young man, who will pay attention to him, an irrelevant young man?

The little carpenter left the cottage and walked up the street. He walked for a while, trying to find an opportunity to leave the town and leave here, but after a while, he stopped again.

He felt someone following him, so he found an opportunity, and inadvertently turned around and saw a fierce and burly young man following him from afar. Although there was not much evidence, the little carpenter still felt that this person was probably the apprentice mentioned by his cheap uncle.

That guy was a habitual criminal of murder, and even Wu Banxian was a little scared.

He must have been worried about his uncle who came here, so he specially found him to follow him. It can be imagined that if he ran away, the person would follow him and get rid of him.

Thinking about it this way, rather than losing his life, it is better to be with Wu Banxian.
