Chapter 257: It’s You!
Sending away the big bull father and son, Wang Lin sat by the fireplace, suddenly quite emotional inside, ten taels of gold, for mortals, is a large sum of money, but for cultivators, is like dirt, will not even look at a glance.
He quietly sat in the store, picked up a piece of wood, right hand carving knife swing, carving up.
Time is in a hurry, another three years past, big cattle family store, expanded more than doubled, business is really as big cattle mother thought, than before a lot better, but this business once good, big cattle leisure time will be less up, the whole day to follow his father iron.
Only after closing the store, Da Niu had time to drag his tired body, carrying a pot of fruit wine, to Wang Lin here, to watch him making wood carvings.
Da Niu’s body, probably because of these years of iron working, more and more strong up, seventeen years old young man, even if it is a big winter, but also just wearing a thin shirt, do not feel the slightest bit of cold.
Just his parents, face wrinkles, gradually more and more.
Wang Lin’s appearance, also changed from six years ago, he didn’t look like a youth anymore, but rather he was entering middle age, and his face gradually had more and more wrinkles.
This is he deliberately to spell for, after all, if a person six years appearance did not have a little change, then for the surrounding these kind and simple neighbors, will be an incredible thing.
In this after three years, Xu Tao to this number of times, gradually more, almost every month, have to come over once, offer a lot of gold and silver things as well as wine, pulling together the intention is self-evident, from time to time in the words, pointing out that these things, are His Highness’s filial piety.
For this son, Wang Lin does not have half interest, the reason why he stayed in Kyoto, the purpose is only one, that is to experience the feelings of mortals, so that their own cultivation, get a breakthrough.
The power struggles of the mortal world. With his status. He was too lazy to get involved.
This year late fall. A few willow trees on both sides of the street. Leaves were blown by the wind. Slowly fall off in the clattering sound, sent far away by the wind. Became a rootless leaf.
The whole street. Falling leaves could be seen everywhere. Wang Lin walked out of the store. He was wearing thick clothing. On his head was a leather hat. At this moment, if someone from Zhao or Chu saw Wang Lin. They would definitely not be able to recognize him. This person was Wang Lin, who had reigned supreme, killed countless people, and had his hands full of blood.
Even some of the cultivators who had killed with him would definitely not be able to recognize him.
At this moment, he. It didn’t look any different from a mortal. It wasn’t a similarity in appearance, but a divine resemblance, and even in his bones, there wasn’t any difference.
After six years of transforming into a mortal. Wang Lin had completely become a mortal. The current him. The face was slightly older. Although his body was still upright. But it looked like a middle-aged mortal who had been busy all his life. There wasn’t any difference.
There was just one thing that was slightly different between him and mortals, and that was his eyes, which were black and white, without any mixed colors, and had a hint of bright aura, making his entire person look extraordinary.
This after three years, Wang Lin did not meditate once, did not cultivate once, even outside the body of the red mist, but also as early as two years ago, it was unknowingly condensed by him to complete, turned into a blood-colored bead, was included in his storage bag.
After leaving the store, a gust of wind hit his face, carrying the chill of autumn, Wang Lin tightened his collar and closed the store door, then slowly walked towards the distance.
At this time, the opposite side of the iron store came out of a rather strong young man, he was carrying a bucket of waste charcoal in his hand, and immediately saw Wang Lin after he came out of the store, so he grinned and said, “Uncle Wang, going to the theater again?”
Wang Lin turned around and smiled, “Da Niu, bring me a jug of wine.”
The young man answered, and after dumping the charcoal in his hand aside, he hurriedly walked into the store, and before long, he ran over with a jug of wine, his eyes showing concern, and said, “Uncle Wang, you’re old, this wine, ah, drink less, just drink to warm up your body.”
Wang Lin nodded with a smile, took the wine pot, patted Da Niu’s shoulder, turned around and slowly left.
Da Niu looked at Wang Lin’s back, there was a bitter taste in his heart, these six years, the omnipotent Uncle Wang in his eyes, had aged a lot, he still remembered that six years ago, Uncle Wang, that full of heroic face and eyes as if stars.
One by one, lifelike and vivid wood carvings took shape in his hands.
He always remembered that Uncle Wang once said that when he made a lot of money, he would go back to marry and wait for his daughter-in-law, but in the blink of an eye six years have passed, Da Niu never saw Wang Lin’s daughter-in-law, for which he did not ask again.
Da Niu sighed, turned around and returned to the store, his father is also a little old, the main work of the store, now he is working, even after closing the store, there are a lot of things to do, juvenile developed the habit of often go to see Wang Lin making wood carvings, has been unable to continue.
It was just a matter of taking some time out every few days and running to accompany this lonely Uncle Wang.
Late autumn season, the wind penetrates the cold, Wang Lin walks slowly all the way, after a little, finally came to the street within an inn, just went in, the shopkeeper in the inn, a shoulder with a towel, quite a witty boy said, “Ho yo, Wang Boss is here, quickly please come in.”
Wang Lin entered the room, took off his leather hat and laughed, “I don’t have any silver to reward me, it’s useless for you to be more enthusiastic.”
The store assistant hemmed and hawed and said, “See what you say, the shopkeeper has ordered, the first place by the window at the east end, will always be reserved for you.” Saying that, he quickly walked a few steps, came to the east first position by the window, swept the towel in his hand on it, bent down and retreated.
Wang Lin sat on the bench, and in a short time, the store assistant served a few plates of small dishes, and in addition served a small charcoal pot with boiling water in it. Wang Lin placed the wine pot in his hand in the small pot and began to warm the wine.
From time to time, he poured out a cup and drank it. Wang Lin just sat here and watched as people entered the inn one after another. Gradually, there were more and more people in the inn, and after about half an hour, a few opera singers who played the zither came out from the back room, and as soon as the few people appeared, there were shouts of applause from within the inn, which made the inn quite lively.
These opera singers, there is a woman, looks quite a bit of posture, most of the people in the inn, in fact, is to see her and come.
This woman’s beautiful eyes flowed, her water sleeves danced, and she began to chant.
The woman’s voice was quite melodious, causing the drinkers in the inn to shout and praise her, and for a moment, the atmosphere reached a climax.
Wang Lin smiled as he watched the woman rapping and drank fruit wine, such days, he had already lasted for more than a year.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, wearing a thick cloth Zoroastrian, hurriedly walked out from the back room and quickly came to Wang Lin’s side, after sitting down, the store assistant hurriedly and respectfully served a pot of wine.
That middle aged fat man immediately poured the cup and drank it all in one gulp, looked at Wang Lin and said awkwardly, “Mr. Wang, this ……”
Wang Lin picked up the jug of wine and took a sip before laughing, “Counselor Li, today I’m not here to collect rent, just don’t worry.”
The middle-aged fat man immediately sighed in relief and smiled, “Business is not good ah, you don’t see that I have a lot of people here now, but inviting this troupe to come cost me a large amount of silver, alas, this world, the business is not good ah.”
Wang Lin smiled, did not say anything, but quietly watched the opera, this middle-aged fat man surnamed Li, what is called Wang Lin until now do not know, this person in two years ago to find Wang Lin, take this store collateral, the painstakingly borrowed twenty two gold, has been to the present this money has not yet returned. This store has now become owned by Wang Lin.
Recently this year, he saw Wang Lin almost every day to come, heart apprehensive, from time to time to come over to explore the wind.
Between that opera singer’s beautiful eyes turning, these men inside the inn, they applauded, just then, from outside the inn came a rather obscene voice: “Yo, this little lady sings well, hooked me from the north of the city, good!”
The moment the voice came, in walked an old man wearing a gray cotton robe, this old man’s hair was disheveled, his face was green and purple, and on his chest lapel, there were several large footprints.
As soon as he came in, he immediately shouted loudly, the store assistant frowned, reprimanded: “Where to come the beggar, go away, no money today!” Said, he went forward to push.
The old man’s eyes glared and said, “You touch! If you dare to touch me, I will not get up! I came here today to listen to the theater!”
The moment Wang Lin saw the old man, his eyes suddenly flashed with an aura that hadn’t been there for many years, this old man was no one else, it was the person who had cheated Wang Lin out of a meal six or seven years ago.
The innkeeper sitting opposite Wang Lin, that middle-aged fat man, immediately frowned, stood up, quickly stepped to the doorway, flipped his pockets, touched half a day, and finally took out a copper coin, threw it to the old man and said, “Here’s money for you, go away, it’s really bad luck.”
The old man took the copper money, bit it with his teeth, sticking a mouthful of rust, grinned at the shopkeeper and laughed: “En, it’s real, harder than gold, see, or your shopkeeper’s real face, humph.” Said, he threw the copper money in his hand, landed in the store assistant’s hand, said proudly, “A pot of tea!”
Then his gaze swept and landed on Wang Lin and walked over, it wasn’t that he recognized Wang Lin, but at this moment in the inn, there was only Wang Lin’s table, just one person.
The store assistant flinched for a moment, looked at the copper money in his hand, and then looked at the shopkeeper, he had seen a lot of beggars, but seeing the copper money and biting it, and getting the money to buy tea to drink, this was the first one.
The middle-aged fat man’s face twitched for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go up and throw the old man out, but just at this time, Wang Lin raised his hand and said, “Forget it.”
The middle-aged fat man immediately lurched, hesitated, muttered a few words, and turned around to walk towards the back room.
The old man hemmed and hawed, looked at Wang Lin, and said, “You ……” just said a word, he suddenly froze, stared straight at Wang Lin, looked carefully for a moment, and only then did his face show an odd color, and said in surprise, “It’s you! “
