I have a book of salvation

Chapter 10 Repaying debts is a matter of course

The next day, in the early morning, there was heavy wind and heavy snow.

After seeing Mr. Zhao off, Yu Chen got up, made a fire and cooked to fill the temple of the five internal organs.

Looking out the window, the wind and snow are blowing, and it is also chilly inside the house.

However, Yu Chen has already entered the congenital state, and this severe cold is nothing to him. He no longer has to be like in previous years, and can only feel the slightest warmth when he hides under the quilt.

But there are good and bad sides to everything.

Although the innate body has endless benefits, it also has some disadvantages.

For example... food intake.

Looking at the clean yellowed porcelain bowls on the table, Yu Chen looked helpless.

Since his birth, his appetite has increased day by day.

In just two meals, he had eaten the rice he had eaten for the past three or four days, and he needed meat to supplement his nutrition.

He calculated that the money that could last him a month in the past was now only enough for five or six days.

If this continues, the money accumulated over the years may not last long.

While thinking, he looked at the scroll in the interior scene.

Wondering if you can think of some way to make money?

Not to mention rich and powerful, but at least enough to eat and drink.

At this moment, Yu Chen's unusually keen hearing allowed him to hear the sounds of sorrow and joy coming from far away in the wind and snow.

He put down his thoughts and opened the door to take a look.

Amidst the wind and snow, a funeral procession came up the mountain.

It was no different from funerals in the past.

Taoist priests opened the way, big men carried coffins, and descendants wore sackcloth and mourned.

It was just the young woman holding the portrait that made Yu Chen take a second look.

——He had some impression of this woman. She was a vendor at a time-honored tofu shop in the Youfang North Street Market. Yu Chen used to frequent it. The woman also knew about his miserable life experience and often wiped out the change for Yu Chen. She was considered a human being. Kindhearted.

But at this moment, even if the woman saw the young man looking at the grave, she had no intention of talking to him. She just held the portrait in her hands with a sad look on her face.

Some poor people are buried in Qingfeng Mausoleum.

So not surprisingly, after a simple burial ceremony, the group went down the mountain in a heavy snowstorm.

Yu Chen was left standing in front of the door, silent for a long time.

Because the familiar dim light filled the grave.

Yu Chen hooked his hand, and in the dim light, there was an illusory ghost figure, slowly approaching.

She was wearing a shroud, her face was like tree bark, she was extremely thin, and she kept mumbling,

"Two taels of money...Two taels of money..."

This scene, which may seem eerie and terrifying to ordinary people, was something that Yu Chen had long been used to seeing. He closed the door and saved others.

A golden light shot out and immediately pulled the ghost figure to the bank of Huangquan River.

At the same time, at the beginning of the volume of the Book of Duren, the smoky gray characters reappeared.

【Nine levels of wishes】

[Pay back debts]

[Time limit: None]

[There will be a reward at the end of the matter]

Immediately afterwards, pictures like a revolving lantern appeared in front of Yu Chen's eyes.

The deceased's surname was Sun. He was over seventy years old. Because he could not bear the heavy snow and severe cold, he left without any illness or disaster. It was considered a happy mourning.

And Yu Chen, who has had several experiences, also knows that generally such deceased people will not leave any last wishes.

The old lady Sun in front of her did not close her eyes, and the reason was related to the gold and silver.

Let's say that Mrs. Sun had a simple life. She made a living selling tofu in the market around Hanqiao since she was young.

She has a son who works as a porter at the Zhengde Chamber of Commerce in Tianqiao.

Later, her son married a neighbor's girl and they were happy.

But the good times didn't last long. Last spring, Mrs. Sun's son died in an accident when he was hit by untied cargo.

As a result, Mrs. Sun lost her son, and her daughter-in-law Mrs. Sun lost her husband and became a widow.

It was also this year that Mrs. Sun suffered from grief and became ill. The tofu shop was managed by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun.

Fortunately, the Zhengde Chamber of Commerce still had a conscience and compensated the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law twenty taels of silver.

But at the beginning of this year, I don’t know why this matter was heard by the pig butcher who was the tyrant of Youfang Street.

This pig butcher's surname is Li. He is tall and round-waisted, with a sinewy face. His real name is unknown, but he is generally called Li Er in the market.

It should be said that Li Er is not a kind person on weekdays. He often shouts and shouts in the market with his butcher knife.

As soon as there is any minor conflict, he will yell at others.

However, he was strong and had an evil aura from killing pigs for decades, so ordinary people would not dare to provoke him easily.

Really a scoundrel.

After learning that his neighbor's old lady Sun had received two taels of silver as compensation for her son's death, this guy came to her door several times, saying that she wanted to repair the house, and half-forced to borrow the two taels of silver. But she seemed to be worried about Mrs. Sun reporting to the official, and even wrote an IOU in a decent manner.

This loan lasted for more than half a year, and the deadline for the IOU has long passed.

During this time, the business of the tofu shop was not good, and my daughter-in-law, Sun, suffered from an illness. After collecting the money at home, there was still a little bit left.

Mrs. Sun and her daughter-in-law had no choice but to go to Li Er to repay the money. However, this guy was so cruel that he not only refused to repay the money, but also snatched the IOU, tore it up, and drove the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out of the house.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are weak and sickly. Facing the bully Li Er, there is nothing they can do other than accept their fate.

This wasn't over yet. To make matters worse, the weather was freezing and Mrs. Sun was already weak. After all, she couldn't survive the cold winter. She kicked off her legs and left!

But before she died, she was still thinking about the two taels of silver.

It's not because I care about money, but because my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun, is waiting for the two taels of silver to buy medicine and see a doctor!

In this way, it turns into a last wish, and I will never die in peace.

After a while, the revolving lantern was finished scene by scene.

Yu Chen opened his eyes and understood everything clearly in his heart.

I can’t help but lament that in this world, bullies are rampant and good people are in trouble!

Then he planned to go out at night to collect the two taels of silver for Mrs. Sun.

——If it had been before, he would have been unable to do anything against the bully Li Er.

But now, it is different.

It's dark at sunset, but the wind and snow are still there.

The dome is misty and the moon is not visible.

On the inaccessible Qingfeng Mausoleum, a dark figure descended the mountain.

In Weishui County, on the north side of Youfang Street, there is a shop next to the market.

Heavy snow covered the dark red ground, but the smell of pig blood was still there.

Yu Chen walked to the deserted street and looked at the oil-stained black sign on the shop front - Li's Butcher Shop!

Yes, it’s right here, you’re in the right place!

After thinking for a moment, Yu Chen, who was facing Sen Luo and dressed in black, did not break into the butcher shop directly. Instead, he took out the paper figurine of Mrs. Sun that he had prepared during the day and knocked on the door.

From time to time, a loud voice came from the shop.

"Who is it? You're up so late at night!"

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and Li Er, who was tall and round and with fierce eyebrows, came out, his face was red, his ears were red, his body was full of wine, and he was steaming.

But after opening the door, Li Er didn't see anyone. He frowned and cursed: "That stupid pretender! Grandpa Li found out and cut you open with a butcher's knife!"

After that, the door closed with a bang.

Sitting on the table in the center of the shop, he started drinking again.

"Li Er..."

Li Er took a sip of strong wine and picked up two chopsticks of cold pig ears dripping with oil. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he heard someone calling his name from inside the shop!

Li Er's expression changed, he stood up, lifted the heavy butcher's knife on the cutting board of the stall, and looked around.

"Li Er..."

Suddenly, the voice sounded again, like weeping and complaining, very penetrating!

Li Er turned around and took a look!

I saw a rickety figure slowly walking out from behind the two hanging fans of pork!

This figure's feet did not touch the ground, her complexion was green and white, she was wearing a shroud, her eyes were dull, and she did not see any movement, she just floated towards her!

Li Er shuddered and clenched the butcher knife in his hand!

Then I heard the figure continue,

"Li Er...Li Er...Li Er..."

The moaning sounds were like coming from the Nine Nether Purgatory, and the howling wind and snow outside the shop made it even more breathtaking!

Even Li Er, who kills pigs and sheep all year round, can't help but feel his hands and feet are cold and his whole body is stiff!
