Xiao Lingling's words were so straightforward, without any concealment.
Everyone looked at the old man's miserable condition and couldn't help but sympathize with him for a moment...
Seeing that no one was talking, Xiao Lingling looked down at the old man who was still pretending to be unconscious. She thought that no one believed him, so she squatted down angrily and checked the old man from head to toe.
After discovering that the old man seemed to have sprained his waist, he secretly curled up a wicked smile.
She slowly approached and reached out her hand towards the old man's head. Everyone thought he was also injured on the head, so they looked over curiously.
Even Old Man Jiang, who was pretending to be fainted, thought that the child wanted to check his head, and he felt quite relieved.
But the next second, "Ah~~~~ My old waist!!!"
Old man Jiang's scream cut through the darkness, and everyone around was startled by the shout. The timid Lin Wu was so scared that he burst into tears and turned around and threw himself into Li's arms.
Xiao Lingling quickly stood up and pretended to be innocent. "See, I told you he was just pretending~~~"
No one noticed her little action just now, and everyone looked at Old Man Jiang with a bit of sarcasm in their eyes.
But Chen Shuxu was so close just now that he could see it very clearly.
Originally, Xiao Lingling pretended to check her head, but when no one was paying attention, she secretly kicked the old man on the waist, which was why he felt so much pain that he couldn't pretend anymore.
Chen Shuxu was a little surprised. He originally thought that although Xiao Lingling was a little brave, she was very simple and cute.
Looking at it now, wow, it's still innocent and cute, but a little more cunning, which is quite interesting.
Old man Jiang finally reacted at this moment, and for a moment he didn't know whether to continue pretending to be unconscious or to say something. He was so embarrassed that his ears turned red.
Seeing that the situation was too chaotic, Lin Changshu quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, we only found out about you giving the money later. It was all a misunderstanding, please don't mind it. How are you? Are you seriously injured? Are you okay?"
Hearing Lin Changshu's words, Old Man Jiang almost cried, but in order to save his face, he could only pretend to be magnanimous.
"It's okay, it's okay. I, I didn't explain myself clearly. The injuries are just superficial. I just accidentally sprained my waist. I might need you to take me to the nearest town or county."
Lin Ran quickly stepped forward, his tone very unfriendly, "No way! You're clearly forcing a sale. Your injury is your own fault, why should we send you off? This will cost money, unless..."
When Fang heard this, she gave him a hard time. She was really troubled by her son's obsession with money.
However, Old Man Jiang was not an unreasonable person. "I'll give you money. I did something wrong, so I'm sorry to bother you. I don't have much money on me, so please don't be mean to me."
He took out a small piece of silver from his pocket. It looked much bigger than the one just now. It was estimated to be at least two taels.
Xiao Lingdang grabbed it and stuffed the silver into Zhao's hand. She put her hands on her hips and looked at him fiercely.
"First, tell us why you want to steal our roast chicken. If you agree, we'll take you. If you don't, we won't take you. But you can't return the money. This is to compensate us for our roast chicken, and our roast chicken is very expensive."
Fang: Very good, now there is one more money-grubber!
Old man Jiang's face was a little stiff. He didn't forget the kick the little girl had given him just now. The kick was very accurate. She was a good kicker.
But speaking of this, it's a bit embarrassing. "Ahem, actually, it's also my fault. I'm a doctor, and I've been wandering in the mountains for several days looking for medicinal herbs.
As you know, this mountain is extremely poor now. I didn't even encounter a pheasant. The dry food I brought with me was also finished. I was really hungry.
No, I smelled the fragrance and felt a little greedy for a moment, but I didn't want to reveal my whereabouts, so...
This is indeed my fault, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
Of course, this is an exaggeration. He was not afraid of exposing his whereabouts, but was clearly afraid that others would not want to sell it to him, so he did this.
Unexpectedly, I met a capable person and ended up in this situation. I feel a little guilty about it.
How should I put it, it's kind of funny.
At the very least, the group of people gathered around wanted to laugh.
Who would have thought that an old man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s would have to pretend to be unconscious because of his stuttering?
However, seeing that he admitted his mistake so sincerely, they couldn't bear to be too demanding of the old man.
Lin Changshu also sighed, "It's okay, now that we've talked about it, let's just forget about it.
"You all should go away. It's time to eat. You little ones should also go eat. Don't gather here. Old man, please serve some food and a bowl of chicken soup."
After hearing what Lin Changshu said, the family immediately dispersed and went about their own business. They hadn't even finished their meal yet. Fortunately, Mrs. Sun had been keeping the pot warm, so it didn't get cold.
Seeing them come back listlessly, Sun couldn't help but feel curious. "What happened? Why do they all look like they've been hit by frost?"
Zhao sighed, "It's nothing. I just spent half a day waiting for that roast chicken and still couldn't eat it. Jin Bei is so powerful. I can catch him tomorrow when I have time."
Besides, isn’t there chicken soup? I don’t know why these kids are so greedy! "
As she spoke, she poured out a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Li, "Here, take it to your father!"
Sun was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Second brother isn't eating here?"
"No, that man is seriously injured and hasn't eaten for several days. Changshu asked me to bring him a bowl."
"What? A chicken thief stole the chicken and not only did he not say anything, but he was also given chicken soup to drink?" Sun was completely confused.
Lin Ran seemed to have thought of something and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hey, if he wants to drink, just give it to him. Just treat it as if he paid for it. It's best to make him want more after drinking it. Hey, it's good to make money. Little sister, let's go catch it again tomorrow.
I think he should have some money. Let's catch a pheasant tomorrow, roast it, and sell it to him at a high price!"
"No, no! If I don't sell it to him, I haven't even eaten it yet. Let's eat it and let him watch! Let's see if he dares to steal other people's roast chicken again in the future."
Lin Ran glanced at Lin Wu with an inexplicable expression, "Tsk tsk tsk, if we're talking about damage, it's you, Little Fourth!"
Little Bell glanced at his brothers with disdain. They all only saw the surface. This old man's greatest value is not here~~~
The reason why she dared to kick him just now was because she saw that he was not a bad person.
Not only does he know Kung Fu, he also has money, and most importantly, he knows medicine. Such a talented old man must be exploited hard, right?
It's just this kind of squeezing, we still have to think of a way~
