Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 228 Lan Xin

Because Luo Shaokun didn't believe in evil, when he took his first step, he happened to step on a cotton plant, and he broke it very cleanly. Song Chunlin couldn't stop screaming.

Luo Shaokun looked at Song Chunlin who was glaring at him, then looked down at the cotton under his feet, and realized belatedly that he seemed to be in trouble.

Lu Jiming was sleeping when Wu Ke rushed out. He heard Song Chunlin's cry in the tent and thought that something had happened to Song Chunlin. When he arrived at the location, he found that a cotton plant had been trampled to death. No wonder Song Chunlin screamed.

"Luo Shaokun! Do you want to die?" Song Chunlin pulled out a knife from somewhere with a ferocious look, and chased after Luo Shaokun to chop him. Wu Ke was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurried forward to hug him.

Wu Ke was quite dramatic. While hugging Song Chunlin's waist, he shouted, "Sir, calm down. He is just a commoner. Sir, please don't do anything stupid!"

The moment Song Chunlin drew out the knife, Luo Shaokun was so frightened that his legs went limp. He fell to the ground with one butt, sitting very accurately on two cotton plants. Wu Ke's eyes widened, and he felt Song Chunlin's body pause, and a strong murderous aura burst out from him.

Yes, burst. Wu Ke's mind went blank and only this word remained. It can be seen how angry Song Chunlin was at this moment.

Luo Shaokun, who was at the center of the storm, felt a chill on his back. Oh my God, who could tell him why a teenager could have such a murderous aura? He was almost fainted by the murderous aura that seemed to be real.

Song Chunlin spoke word by word: "Boss Luo, have you thought about how you want to die?"

Luo Shaokun shuddered and shook his head. He felt a warm sensation under his body and it turned out that he had peed!

He, a grown man, was actually scared to death by a child!

This fact made Luo Shaokun look dejected and feel desperate.

Song Chunlin and Wu Ke both wrinkled their noses in disgust, and Wu Ke couldn't stand it anymore and reminded them.

"Why are you still sitting there? Why don't you run away?"

Luo Shaokun thought, is it because I don't want to run? My legs are so weak that I can't run!

Wu Ke rolled his eyes at the person sitting on the ground and said, "Our young master has killed many barbarians. He has killed them in all kinds of ways, such as slit their stomachs, cut their bodies into pieces, and separated their heads. If you still want to live, you'd better go home quickly and prepare some money to pay for these cotton plants. Maybe you can still keep your body intact."

hiss~

Luo Shaokun was so shocked by Wu Kede's description that he took a breath, but his words also reminded him that this man's IQ had finally risen briefly. He crawled to his knees in front of Song Chunlin, kowtowed to Song Chunlin and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes.

"Young Master Song, please be kind. I have old people above me and young children below me. Since both of my sons work for you, I am willing to give you half of my family property. I only ask Young Master Song to spare my life!"

When Song Chunlin heard that it was only one and a half family properties, he wanted to continue his attack, but when he smelled the urine smell, he felt like vomiting. He took a few steps back in disgust, and Song Chunlin quickly waved his hand.

Wu Ke understood immediately: "Our master has agreed, why don't you go back and prepare the money?"

When Luo Shaokun heard Wu Ke say that Song Chunlin agreed, he was so excited that he burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly to thank Song Chunlin for not killing him.

Song Chunlin didn't want to pay any more attention to him, but he still gave a cold order: "I'll give you three days. I need cash. Maybe you know my relationship with General Gu. If you are slow, you don't have to keep the shop."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will go back and prepare now."

After Luo Shaokun stumbled away and Song Chunlin ran away, when he walked into the tent, Lu Jiming had woken up and was looking at the two of them in confusion. He was far away and couldn't hear clearly what the three of them had just said.

Song Chunlin reached out and fanned his nose. Great, the urine smell was gone.

"It stinks. What did Luo Shaokun eat? It stinks."

Seeing his disgusted look, Wu Ke laughed out loud: "It's hard for you, Young Master Song. You can still recite so many words even though you stink so badly that you want to vomit."

Song Chunlin snorted: "Your acting skills are pretty good, you must have done a lot of bad things, right?"

Wu Ke was shocked: "It's unfair, this is the first time I've done this, please don't misunderstand me, I am usually serious and upright."

Lu Jiming: “…”

Serious and upright? Who?

After Wu Ke's explanation, Lu Jiming finally understood what had just happened.

"So the young master deliberately tricked him just now?"

Song Chunlin nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, who made him so annoying, plotting to make Fang Shumo divorce him and robbing her of her ancestral shop? I was just asking Fang Shumo for a small change."

"What about the cotton that he killed?"

Song Chunlin wrinkled his nose, as if he could still smell the unpleasant odor, and said with disgust: "Just shovel it away, it won't make much difference if a few less trees are removed, and he peed on that piece of land, I hate it."

Wu Ke and Lu Jiming looked at each other. It turned out that you were the one with the best acting skills. No wonder Fang shouted so loudly and with such murderous intent that even Wu Ke was frightened.

Of course Wu Ke didn't know that Song Chunlin really wanted to kill someone at that moment. He didn't care about the life he had on his hands anyway. It was just broad daylight now, and the other party was just crushing a few cotton plants of his. If he really killed Luo Shaokun, it would probably cause trouble for Gu Fengyue. That's why he had to endure it and followed Wu Ke's words to extort money from Luo Shaokun. If it was a dark night and a strong wind now, how could Song Chunlin let such a villain leave alive.

It was precisely because Song Chunlin really wanted to kill him that Luo Shaokun, who was staring directly at him, felt fear from the bottom of his heart. He really believed that if he did not agree to Wu Ke's request, Song Chunlin would really kill him. At that time, the way Song Chunlin looked at him was really as if he was looking at a dead person.

For a long time afterwards, Luo Shaokun woke up in the middle of the night, and all he dreamed of was the look in Song Chunlin's eyes when he was about to kill him. It was like an evil ghost crawling out of the Avici Hell, haunting him. He couldn't sleep at night or during the day, and he kept his eyes open every day and dared not close them, for fear that the evil ghost in his dream would really come out to take his life.

Fang Siyi's family had no idea that Luo Shaokun had actually found the field, and they had no idea that Luo Shaokun had been severely beaten up by Song Chunlin. When Song Chunlin handed Fang Siyi the money that Luo Shaokun had compensated him, Fang Siyi was so surprised that he was speechless.

Luo Chen was incredulous and said, "Is this the money given by Luo Shaokun? Can he give us money willingly?"

Song Chunlin rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Well, actually I got this by blackmailing him. Hehe, I didn't expect this guy to be quite rich. Didn't they say that his shop wasn't doing very well?"

Luo Chen and Luo Yi were silent. Although they didn't know how Song Chunlin blackmailed the other party, they would rather accept the free money. However, this money was Luo Shaokun's compensation to Song Chunlin after all, and Fang Siyi refused to accept it no matter what.

Song Chunlin said helplessly: "Uncle Fang, I will be leaving here next month. This money can be regarded as my advance payment to you. The money for hiring workers is also included in it."

As Song Chunlin spoke, he took out a basic booklet. During this period of time, the Luo brothers had already learned Arabic numerals. Both brothers had spiritual roots and learned much faster than ordinary people.

"Here, this is the account book. Your family's monthly allowance is two taels, including food and lodging, so the food expenses will be charged to my account. Remember, when you hire workers, you will also be provided with a meal, and the money will be paid from the general ledger. I have listed the standards. Even if you don't eat enough, you still have to spend this much money every day. This is fixed, so you don't have to save money for me. Eat when you need to, and drink when you need to. The little girl is still growing, so she needs to eat her fill."

Luo Chen and Luo Yi looked at the stipulated food allowance for three meals a day. Song Chunlin gave them a lot. In the past, their family of four only spent ten cents on food every day. They ate the cheapest rice and flour, and the vegetables were grown in their own yard. The oil was lard refined from the lard cut during the New Year every year. A small can could last for a year. The only thing that could not be saved was salt. Without salt, one would have no strength in the body. So the daily allowance was about ten cents, just enough to avoid starvation.

Now Song Chunlin set the fee for each person and meal at ten cents, which means a family of four needs one hundred and twenty cents a day for food. With so much money, even if they eat meat at every meal, they still can't finish so much, let alone being full.

Seeing Fang Siyi wanted to say something, Song Chunlin interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Uncle Fang, I know what you want to say, but don't worry, I still have this little money, and by then you will understand how valuable the things I grow are. Don't worry, follow me and you will definitely make a fortune."

The little girl seemed to be amused by Song Chunlin's money-obsessed look, and she also said, "Make a fortune!"

Song Chunlin was also happy. He squatted down and hugged the little girl with a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "Sister is really smart. She is right. We will definitely make a fortune!"

The little girl smiled and repeated: "Make a fortune!"

This made everyone in the room burst into laughter. After they finished laughing, Song Chunlin returned the child to Fang Siyi.

"Okay, these are the account books at home. When I return to Beijing, I will give them to you for safekeeping. Luo Shaokun's money will be used as start-up capital. When the crops in the fields are harvested, the people from the Ministry of Agriculture will come and take away what they want. They will pay for it, and you can keep the rest for eating or planting. They said that the fields outside the city are at my disposal, so they will be left for you to farm in the future."

After explaining everything, Song Chunlin instructed Luo Chen and Luo Yi: "The small courtyard next to you is inhabited by some girls and boys. I'm sure you have guessed where they came from. If you need help in the fields, just go find them next door. The wages are the same as those of temporary workers. If they find a better place to work, don't stop them. Just give them some money and let them leave on their own."

Song Chunlin talked with the Luo family for quite a while, until his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, but he always felt that he had not explained it carefully enough, and kept asking Luo Chen and Luo Yi if there was anything else he did not understand.

Luo Chen and Luo Yi did not say anything. Instead, Fang Siyi held her daughter and asked Song Chunlin if she could give the child a name.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, but this child has had no name since birth. I've been in a daze all these years and never thought of naming the child. Today, I'm shamelessly asking you to give me a name so that I can register the child."

"Registered? She's six years old?"

Fang Siyi shook her head: "No, my daughter is five years old this year."

In ancient times, a child's real age had to be calculated by subtracting at least two years from their virtual age. Song Chunlin pinched the little girl's face, which had just grown some flesh. The little girl grinned at him, which warmed Song Chunlin's heart.

"What a coincidence! I recently saw a saying, 'As fragrant as orchids, as flourishing as pines'. Why not call her Lan Xin? I hope she can be as famous as orchids, pines and cypresses, and flourish forever."

"Lan Xin? Since you are a talented writer, let's call you Lan Xin, Fang Lan Xin."

"Fang Lanxin? Uncle Fang is planning to change their surnames?"

Fang Siyi nodded: "Yes, I plan to change the surname of the children to Fang. In fact, it should have been changed a long time ago. The children don't want to have anything to do with that person anymore, so it's better to change it."

Song Chunlin expressed his understanding: "Okay, I'll ask the county magistrate to help you when the time comes."

When Fang Siyi heard about this benefit, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

After dealing with the matters at the Fang family, Song Chunlin returned to his room. Gu Fengyue had not come back yet. There were also a lot of things going on in the military camp. In recent days, Gu Fengyue had been busier than Song Chunlin.

It was not until the early morning that Gu Fengyue came back in the moonlight. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the man who was concentrating on writing. He walked to the man, bent down and kissed him on the top of his head. Song Chunlin tilted his head and smiled at him. All the fatigue in Gu Fengyue's body was dispelled by this smile.

After bending down and kissing his cheek again, Gu Fengyue sat down next to Song Chunlin. The two of them sat tightly together, not even feeling hot.

"Still copying?"

Song Chunlin put down his pen, and Gu Fengyue reached out, held his wrist and gave him a massage.

"There are still many things I haven't finished copying. There are many modern words in it. I'm afraid they won't understand it, so I have to translate it for them. Oh, it's exhausting."

Gu Fengyue chuckled: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Young Master Song. How about I copy some for you?"

"No, you've been busy all day, you should go take a shower and go to bed. I'm going to sleep too."

Gu Fengyue looked at the faint blue color under his eyes and felt a little distressed. She quickly washed up under Song Chunlin's constant urging. Soon, the two of them lay on the bed, chatting casually.

As they were talking, the sounds from the bed gradually died down. Song Chunlin looked over and saw that the person beside him had indeed fallen asleep.

After Gu Fengyue fell asleep, Song Chunlin entered the space and continued his unfinished work.

Thanks to Song Chunlin's instructions, the county magistrate quickly helped the Fang family to complete the new household registration. Holding the new household registration, the Luo brothers officially changed their surname to Fang from today, and the youngest sister finally had a name.

"Fang Lanxin, this name is really nice."

"As fragrant as orchids, as flourishing as pines, this sentence is really beautiful. I don't know where you heard it from."
