The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 472 The Shopkeeper's Letter

"Boss, what's going on? Linshan Village is clearly in front of us, why can't we get in?"

"That's weird, try it again!"

At the entrance of Linshan Village, the owner and the waiter of Fulin Restaurant took a step towards Linshan Village, but their feet stopped in the air again, as if there was an invisible wall in front of them, preventing them from moving forward.

"Boss, we haven't encountered a ghost, have we? I heard from the storyteller that some people encounter ghosts, just like us now."

The waiter shuddered all over, retracted his foot, looked around fearfully, hunched his shoulders and moved closer to the shopkeeper and said.

"Look up at the sun. Even if there is a ghost, how dare it come out in the daytime?"

The shopkeeper was also feeling uneasy. He patted the waiter's shoulder hard, pointed at the sun above his head, and said with forced calmness.

"Who are you and who are you looking for in this mountain village?"

Just when the two were at a loss, Chen Yan's father came out of the village, looked at them and asked.

Just now he came out of the house and saw two people wandering at the entrance of the village, so he came out to ask.

"I'm the owner of Fulin Restaurant. I've been to your village several times. Don't you know me, brother? Eh? I don't think I've seen you before either. Are you from Linshan Village?"

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming out, he was happy at first, but then he saw Chen Dawei, who looked unfamiliar and strong, and couldn't help but worry about the people in Linshan Village, so he asked with some caution.

"So you're the shopkeeper. I'm Chen Yan's father. I haven't been in the village for a few years and just came back recently. Are you here to buy the dried meat? I'll take you in."

As Chen Dawei spoke, he circulated his spiritual power to wrap them and the carriage, and secretly made hand gestures, signaling the two of them to follow.

"So you are Chen Yan's father. Chen Yan is a very smart boy. Brother Chen, you really gave birth to a good son. I am here to collect dried meat today and visit Brother Dayong by the way."

Hearing Chen Dawei's words, the shopkeeper relaxed, patted Chen Dawei on the shoulder and said with a smile.

After saying this, he turned around and told the waiter to lead the carriage and follow them.

"We got in so easily? What happened just now? We tried many times but couldn't get in! Wow! The last time I came here, most of the houses in your village were old. How come in such a short time..."

Chen Dawei led them into the village easily. The waiter looked back at the way they came in, and then looked at the new houses with a look of shock. The smallest of these houses had two entrances. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper.

"Stop talking nonsense, and quickly drive the carriage to the meat jerky workshop and ask the villagers to weigh the meat jerky!"

Receiving the warning look from the shopkeeper, the waiter realized that he had talked too much. He touched his nose, agreed, and drove the carriage to the dried meat workshop.

"Brother Chen, thank you for bringing us in. I know Brother Dayong's home. You go and do your work. I can go there by myself."

The shopkeeper suppressed his shock and politely said to Chen Dawei with a fist salute.

"Okay, then I'll go to the meat jerky workshop to help pack the meat jerky. Bye, boss."

Chen Dawei didn't bother to be polite with him. He clasped his fists towards him and then strode away.

"Is the shopkeeper here to collect the dried meat?"

"Boss, why don't you come to my house and have a seat, drink some tea and take a rest, then you can go and pack the dried meat."

......

The shopkeeper walked along the village road towards Lin Xi's home. The villagers he met on the way greeted him enthusiastically.

He responded with a smile, explaining that he had something to do at Lin Xi's house, and the waiter had already gone to the workshop to pack the dried meat.

"Boss, I want this desk!"

"Boss, I like this bed. It's perfect for my room."

"This dagger suits me."

"I'll choose this set of tables and chairs. It will fit perfectly in the main living room of my house."

......

The open space in front of Lin Xi's house was extremely lively at this moment.

It turned out that many items looted from the bandits were put into the boundary bead by Lin Xi at that time. She just remembered it today, so she called her friends together here and let them choose.

The little ones were very happy. They nimbly moved among these things, as excited as if they were treasure hunts. They moved aside whatever they liked.

Although the scene was lively, it was not chaotic. The kids did not fight for things. When they saw someone take away something they liked quickly, they did not get angry but continued to look for other things happily.

They think this is very fun.

This was the lively scene the shopkeeper saw when he was not far from Lin Xi's house.

"Boss, how come you have time to come to my house today? Have you run out of chili peppers in the restaurant?"

Lin Xi was originally sitting on a big rock, happily watching his friends picking things up. When he saw the shopkeeper standing there in a daze, he jumped down from the rock, came up to him and asked.

Hearing Lin Xi's voice, the shopkeeper withdrew his gaze from the valuable items casually placed on the ground, bowed to Lin Xi, and whispered: "The young master has a letter for the young lady, and asked me to hand it to the young lady personally. If there are chili peppers, that would be even better. I can take some back with me."

After saying that, he took out a letter sealed tightly with wax from his arms and handed it to Lin Xi with both hands.

"Boss, please have lunch at my house today."

Lin Xi took the letter, looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon, and smiled at him.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. You don't need to have dinner. I need to go back quickly. If you need to write a letter to the young master, you can send it to Fulin Restaurant."

The restaurant's business was so good that he couldn't stay outside for too long.

Hearing this, Lin Xi saw that he was in a hurry to go back, so he stopped inviting him and said, "Then wait a moment, shopkeeper. I'll go get the peppers."

Although those kids were picking things, after such a long period of training, they had already developed the habit of always paying attention to the surrounding environment. They noticed Lin Xi as soon as he left the stone, and they also saw the shopkeeper who was talking to Lin Xi.

Seeing Lin Xi leave and enter the yard, the kids came over and greeted the shopkeeper politely.

He even took out some snacks he had brought with him and offered them to him. The shopkeeper took them with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, thank you very much. Everyone, go back to your work. Don't worry about me. I'll be leaving soon."

"Shopkeeper, please take a seat. Then we will continue to choose things."

Xiao An'er took a rosewood chair in one hand and a huanghuali square table in the other, placed them next to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, young master."

The shopkeeper clasped his fists and thanked Lin An. Ever since he knew the relationship between his master and this family, he started to address the Lin Xi sisters as "Miss" and "Master".

Seeing the shopkeeper sitting down, the kids started to pick out the treasures again. Because the village was protected by a formation, and Lin Xi said that the shopkeeper was trustworthy, they did not avoid him.

The shopkeeper put the things in his arms on the square table, and while eating, he carefully looked at the newly built houses next to Lin Xi's house, as well as the pile of things that the kids were picking, and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.
