Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 177 Jade Ring

Only then did Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin realize that the items escorted this time were all medicinal materials.

Although this medicinal material is not the precious ginseng and Ganoderma, it is currently in short supply in Guihua Prefecture. These four carts of medicinal materials are mixed into prescriptions to make medicine, which can be regarded as an urgent solution to the epidemic of dysentery in Guihua Prefecture.

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin watched them unload the truck, count the money, settle the money, and watch them treat a few injured people...

If all the escort money for this trip was given to Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin, they would undoubtedly lose money.

Xiao Luoyi was not short of money. After discussing with Chen Huaijin, he only took one hundred taels, and the other one hundred taels were used to treat their injuries and comfort the families of the deceased.

Tu Bao warmly invited: "Brother Chen, you are so young, but you are so powerful in martial arts; Mrs. Xiao looks frail, but she says it straight! I respect you two very much!"

"I wonder how many days you two will stay in Guihua Mansion? May I treat you two to a casual meal?"

Although Chen Huaijin felt that Tu Bao was an upright person, Tu Bao was very responsible for those brothers with evil intentions.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before Tu Bao is implicated.

If you don't want to be implicated by Tu Bao's brothers, it's better to have less contact with Tu Bao.

So Chen Huaijin waved her hand and refused: "I still have something to do. You and I will just say goodbye. Let's go first."

Tu Bao watched Chen Huaijin drive away with a little disappointment in his eyes: Such a hero puts his wife first in everything, what a pity...

After finding an inn to stay, Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin found a noisy restaurant for dinner out of curiosity about the female chieftain.

The storyteller in the restaurant was spitting, telling the story of Mrs. Hua who endured hardships, humiliation and heavy burdens and returned to the Hua family with her young son, and became the head of the Hua family.

The guests in the restaurant applauded and cheered when they heard the wonderful part.

Xiao Luoyi heard nothing different from what Tu Bao said, and after thinking about it again, he understood.

In the Hua family's territory, even if someone wants to say something bad about the Hua family, they have to avoid them. How can an outsider like me hear it?

That's it. It seems I can't hear anything else. Let's go back to the inn.

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin ate in silence, packed some food, and prepared to return to the inn.

The streets that were still lively when we arrived were now much quieter, with not many people on the streets.

Chen Huaijin had a good sense of direction and led Xiao Luoyi to take a shortcut towards the inn. He stopped before taking a few steps.

The sound of people talking in low voices came from the quiet alley.

One voice was hoarse: "I've been telling this story for months, but it's of no use?"

The other one said in a lower tone: "My lord asked you to arrange for someone to talk to you. That's all you say. Whether it's useful or not is your concern."

Hoarse voice: "That's the truth, but you are an official of the imperial court, but Mrs. Hua just ignores it. This is too disrespectful to the imperial court..."

There was a crisp "pop" sound, which was the sound of a slap in the face.

"Why did you hit me?" the hoarse voice said angrily.

"What kind of place is this? Can you say anything?" a low voice warned.

As expected, the hoarse voice became softer: "Isn't it because I don't see anyone..."

"roll!"

The two of them whispered a few more words in low voices before leaving.

When there was no movement ahead, Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi returned to the inn side by side.

After entering the room, there was no sign of the little fox. Xiao Luoyi put down the oil paper bag and called out repeatedly: "Ali? Ahli?"

After some inspection, Xiao Luoyi determined that the little fox had gone somewhere. The window that was originally bolted was opened and was now ajar.

Xiao Luoyi glanced at Chen Huaijin: "The little fox ran away? What should I do?"

Chen Huaijin didn't care: "If it wants to follow us, it will naturally come back. If it wants to leave, just leave."

Except for his wife and two brothers, he didn't care whether anyone else stayed or left.

Xiao Luoyi: "It has to be like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ajar window was suddenly pushed open, and a stuffed ball that was white with a hint of black rolled in.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." the little fox chirped, stretched out his paws and grabbed the hem of Xiao Luoyi's skirt, and hid behind Xiao Luoyi.

Xiao Luoyi was confused for a while: "Where did you go? I can't find you when I come back."

Before the little fox could say anything, the knife on Chen Huaijin's waist was unsheathed: "There are several people coming." Xiao Luoyi was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat: "Who are they?"

Before Chen Huaijin could answer, he heard a conversation outside the window: "What about the fox?"

"Go in."

"Go in and search! We must catch that beast, otherwise Mrs. Hua will blame it and we won't get anything good to eat!"

Seeing that the window was about to be pushed open again, Chen Huaijin walked over helplessly, pushed open the window directly, and looked at the four pairs of stunned eyes outside the window: "What do you want?"

The four men were dumbfounded. When they met Chen Huaijin's calm eyes, their courage suddenly disappeared.

In the end, it was the leader who continued: "A fox entered the Hua Mansion. The fox stole something from our house. We came after the fox."

"What?" Chen Huaijin asked.

"It's...a jade ring." The man gestured with the size.

"Wait a minute." Chen Huaijin said, turning around to call the little fox over: "Ali, did you take someone else's things?"

The little fox's eyes are very intelligent, and his two little paws are also gesticulating: "Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

After saying that, the little fox raised his little paw, and there was indeed a green thumb on the paw.

"Yes, yes! That's the thumb ring!" the leader shouted immediately.

"Give it back! When did you get into the habit of stealing?!" Chen Huaijin scolded with a frown.

"Zhizhizhi..." The little fox shook his head and stepped back, his little paw covering the ring on the other paw.

This time there was no need for translation, the four men and Chen Huaijin all understood.

Chen Huaijin: "You took other people's things, how could you not return them? Return them to them now!"

"Ouch, let me tell you, this fox is so understanding of human nature, I'm afraid it was trained to steal people's things!" A short and fat man said in a strange tone.

But Xiao Luoyi understood: "Ali, you mean, there is a soul inside this finger?"

The little fox nodded wildly: "Zhizhizhi..."

That's it!

Fairy still understands me!

"You're talking nonsense!" the leading man was angry, "This is the ring that Mrs. Hua wears every day. How can it have any soul?"

"Give me the ring. Let me take a look." Xiao Luoyi stretched out his hand, and this time the little fox obediently handed the ring to Xiao Luoyi.

As soon as he got the thing, Xiao Luoyi was sure that the little fox was right: there was indeed a soul inside the finger.

However, this soul has no resentment or evil thoughts, and is actually a heroic spirit.

Xiao Luoyi was extremely surprised: How could this happen? !

　Please vote for me monthly!

　　Please feed chicken legs.

　　A few words: Because I usually just write articles and don’t care about asking for monthly votes.

　　Occasionally, I react and add a few sentences to the end of all chapters like crazy.

　　After adding twenty or thirty chapters of a vote-seeking manifesto, I will soon feel that it is troublesome and I don’t want to do it anymore, so I will slack off in the vote-seeking work.

　　Until next time I go crazy again…

　　No, it's the end of the year, and during the double monthly pass period, I'll give myself a shot of blood and ask for another monthly pass.

　　Monthly votes affect rankings, rankings affect income, income affects mood, and mood affects the quality of articles...

　　So I went crazy again.

　　Asking for a monthly ticket!

　　Thank you all for your support!

　　What a group!
