Chapter Eleven Hope for Retaliation

After asking the doctor back, the doctor simply prescribed a prescription, then received a few hundred medical treatment fees from Li Xin, and left.

In fact, the charcoal seller was not seriously injured, but only some skin trauma. There was no need to drink medicine for this kind of skin trauma. However, the wooden house that the old man worked hard to make was burned and he couldn't get over it, so the doctor prescribed a prescription for Ningshen.

The next morning, in the backyard of the inn, Li Xin was thinking about what happened yesterday while boiling medicine.

First of all, one thing that is certain is that the people from the Marquis' Mansion did not intend to take their own lives. If they wanted to die by themselves, it would be easier.

Judging from the big man's words today, they probably just wanted to get out of the capital.

Li Xin closed his eyes and thoughts in his heart.

To be honest, he is not a person with a bad temper. If the person from the Marquis of Pingnan came to him and told him in a good voice, giving him another sum of money, maybe he would leave the capital with the money. After all, in this era, you will live the same life in any city. If you leave the capital, you might be more comfortable.

However, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion... chose to force it.

Li Xin opened his eyes and murmured to himself while adding firewood under the medicine jar.

"You guys have done too much..."

Li Xin could understand that he stopped the business of Deyi Building, but it was too much to burn the wooden house. This wooden house was not Li Xin's. The father-in-law just took in Li Xin and ended up like this.

Something has to be done.

But the most important thing now is to find a house to live in. Otherwise, living in the inn every day is not a problem after Li Xin boiled the medicine and asked the charcoal seller to take it to his father-in-law. Then he walked out of the inn and started looking for a house.

As the capital of the Jin Dynasty, the land price in Jiankang City was very not cheap, so the houses were naturally very expensive. When the house prices rose, renting a house would not be cheap.

With the help of Yashang, Li Xin successfully found a small yard in Datongfang, Chengnan, Beijing. It was said that it was a yard, but in fact there were only three houses, and the items inside were very simple. Fortunately, the house was still complete and there was no air leakage, so it was also a place to survive the winter.

Rent is two stale and one month.

To be honest, Datongfang is located in the southern city of Jiankang, and is also one of the several buildings farthest from the imperial city. It is not close to the Qinhuai River and is considered a "suburb" of the capital. The rent actually caused the landlord to bully Li Xin's foreign accent, which raised him a little.

However, Li Xin urgently needed a place to live, and he didn't care about the money, so he simply agreed. After paying the rent for two months, Li Xin moved in with his father-in-law and little girl.

Although this small yard is not big, it still has one advantage, that is, the previous tenant has just moved out, and the things in the yard are still complete, so Li Xin doesn’t have to buy too many things.

However, the iron pots and wooden basins in the kitchen were taken away. Iron tools in this era are still very expensive. Even if the pot is leaked, the people will make up for it. They will not think about changing to a new one. When moving, they will even carry the iron pot on their backs.

After settled down the grandparents and grandchildren, Li Xin first bought some food, then squatted down, patted the little girl on the shoulder, and whispered: "You are here to take care of grandpa, brother comes out to buy some things, we just came here, you must not go out."

The little girl suffered a big change and was also a little timid at this time. She nodded obediently when she heard this.

"Brother, be careful, too."

Li Xin nodded with a smile and walked out of the yard. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, but locked the gate.

He was not sure if the people from the Marquis of Pingnan found that he had entered the capital, but as long as the door was locked, even if the people from the Marquis of Pingnan found this place, they would probably think that there was no one in the house.

Besides, even if the people from the Marquis of Pingnan found this place, they would not dare to burn houses in the capital.

Li Xin walked all the way from Datongfang to the North City. Since the imperial city faced north and south, the more prosperous it went north, it became. When he arrived on Desheng Street, it was already a bustling scene. Li Xin first went to the blacksmith shop to buy an iron pot, then bought some things like firewood, rice, oil and salt, and then went to the cotton cloth shop to buy two quilts, and then carried a large cloth bag and began to walk towards the south of the city.

This cloth bag weighs dozens of pounds together, and it seems very difficult to carry it on the back.

It was already afternoon, and there were many people on the streets, and there were only some children who had finished school playing and playing on the streets. A group of little babies were singing nursery rhymes in groups.

"Drink Laba porridge for a few days, Lililala twenty-three."

...

"Twenty-nine, steam buns, stay up for a night at 30, walk all over the streets on the first and second day..."

It is the twelfth lunar month, and the end of the year is approaching. What children most look forward to in the year is to eat meat during the New Year, so they naturally start singing nursery rhymes that are about to celebrate the New Year.

Li Xin once sang this kind of song when he was a child. At first he didn't care about it, but as he listened, he suddenly stopped and focused his attention on these children.

The wooden house he lived in was burned for someone, and the person who started was Jingzhao Mansion in the capital. This matter was nowhere to be discussed because the highest yamen he could contact, namely Jingzhao Mansion, could not allow him, a commoner, to sue the official with the people. This was undoubtedly a mortal act.

Now, he seemed to see some hope of revenge on the Marquis’ Mansion of Pingnan.

But now is definitely not the time. After all, the little girl is still waiting at home. Li Xin tightened the cloth on his back and continued to walk towards the south of the city with his steps.

The old man kindly saved Li Xin and then took him in, but in the end he made himself homeless. In any case, Li Xin had to settle the two grandparents and grandchildren, at least to make them live better than before.

It was almost evening when Li Xin finally returned to the small yard. He first went to the kitchen and put the iron pot that he had purchased at a huge amount of money on the stove. Then he waved to the little girl and smiled and said, "Girl, come and burn the fire. Brother, make some delicious food for you."

The little girl nodded happily and quickly started to make a fire in the stove.

She would have helped her grandfather burn charcoal. Making fire was her best skill. After a while, a strong flame emerged from the stove. The little girl looked up at Li Xin and found that Li Xin had poured half a bowl of oil into the pot in one breath.

The charcoal seller's eyes widened.

She used to have a bad life, and it would be nice to have a meal. Usually it was sorghum noodles or some coarse rice, and she could not see any oil. Now this big brother actually poured so much oil in one breath...

There is no saying in this world that stir-frying is usually "cooking" and then dropping a few drops of oil into it.

So, when the charcoal girl ate the first stir-fry, tears were almost flowing out.

The little girl served a bowl of rice and filled the dishes. She excitedly brought it to her grandfather.
