Chapter 13 The wooden hairpin

Lin Su left the entanglements on his body and did not do anything else. There were too many tragic things in the world that he could not control. The drought in the three counties of Liangzhou and the locust disaster had caused too many people to be displaced. How could they survive in panic?

Going down is a gift. They are luckier than those who died.

Anyang County is not too prosperous, Lin Su could feel it as he walked on the street, and it was still as boring and lifeless as before. Originally, he planned to go home immediately, but he met an acquaintance in the downtown area, who was also one of Lin Su's family members.

In front of the Meiyu Building that sells jewelry, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old argued angrily with a charming woman, "Sun Jiaojiao, that's the hosta I'm interested in, why do you cross your fingers?"

Sun Jiaojiao chuckled and said: "Lin Ying, the rules of Meiyulou are not whoever likes them. If that's the case, I like all the good things in Meiyulou, so no one can buy them? Shopkeeper Qian, I

The price offered by the lady is higher than hers, does this hairpin belong to me?"

"Of course it is." Shopkeeper Qian rubbed his hands. A hosta was also a very common thing, but it was sold for double the price. He had no reason not to make a profit. Furthermore, the Lin family was already declining. For the so-called justice and fairness, he offended Sun Yat-sen, who was at the height of his power.

Family, I understand that no one would do such stupid things.

"You, you guys..." Lin Ying's face turned red, and her eyes were red with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Sun Jiaojiao took the opportunity to sarcastically say, "Lin Ying, your Lin family is not the Lin family it used to be. The jewelry in Meiyulou is too expensive. How can you deserve it? Well, aren't there jewelry out there? It's most appropriate for you to wear those tattered things."

The jewelry outside is naturally the stuff of street vendors.

Lin Ying was angry and unwilling to give in, but he was short of money. Even the money he originally prepared had to be saved for a long time. Unexpectedly, as soon as the angry Sun Jiaojiao intervened, shopkeeper Qian immediately changed his mind. They were so shameless.

"Yingmei, why are you here?" Lin Ying was about to leave, but stopped and looked at the place where the voice was. When he saw the person, he said in surprise: "Brother Su, you are back."

Lin Su said: "Yes, I'm back."

He had been away for five years, and Lin Ying recognized him at a glance. This was a family relationship in the blood. He was only thirteen years old at that time, and Lin Ying was still a ten-year-old girl.

Lin Su glanced at the jade hairpin on the hand of the charming woman, touched Lin Ying's head, and said: "So you are here to buy jewelry, right? I have prepared a very good hairpin here specially for you.

"

After that, he took out a black wooden hairpin. Although it was not very beautiful, it had a deep luster.

Sun Jiaojiao sarcastically said: "I thought that a brother would be so powerful if he came here. He even had the nerve to hand out a wooden hairpin. The Lin family is really in decline. This kind of thing is really suitable for you. Lin Ying, from now on you

Just wear this hairpin when you go out."

Shopkeeper Qian was very knowledgeable. When he saw the wooden hairpin, his eyes lit up and he grinned, "Excuse me, can I have a look at that hairpin?"

Lin Ying took the wooden hairpin, said thank you to Brother Su and ignored the money shopkeeper, then took Lin Su's arm and left. She would not pay attention to such a derogatory thing.

Sun Jiaojiao said: "Shopkeeper Qian, how can something of that level fall into your eyes? Only the Lin family is down and out playing with wood. It's unsightly."

Shopkeeper Qian sighed, now he had offended someone.

Lin Ying is a smart girl. When she saw Shopkeeper Qian's fiery gaze, she knew that this wooden hairpin was a precious thing. She didn't ask Lin Su what it was, so she accepted it happily and put it on her head, as a way to repay Sun Jiaojiao and Sun Jiaojiao.

Shopkeeper Qian is rude.

"Brother Su, shopkeeper Qian seems to be very concerned about what material this wooden hairpin is made of." Lin Ying asked on the way back. She was also a curious baby.

Lin Su said: "The material of the hairpin is common ebony, there is nothing strange about it..."

Lin Ying's excited little face fell down. Didn't such words not shock Sun Jiaojiao?

"However, a precious rune is engraved on the whole ebony wood. This wooden hairpin has been separated from the scope of jewelry and can be regarded as a simple magic weapon." Lin Su added.

This wooden hairpin was made by a Shaolin senior who liked to study various formations and runes. He was the only one in the Shaolin Temple who played with this thing. Lin Su used the refined grass and wood pills to trade with him for a few gadgets.

"Magical weapon?" Lin Ying's eyes lit up, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This thing is very precious, how about you take it back and give it to your aunt."

Lin Su touched this sensible girl's head and said, "Brother, I have a few more here. It's okay. You are my Lin Su's sister. Why don't I give you a gadget?"

"Thank you, Brother Su." Lin Ying smiled sweetly.



The Lin family was in a gloomy mood. As the Sihai Gang accepted the Sun family's "court service", the Lin family's business became increasingly difficult. The caravan was robbed several times and suffered heavy losses. Even the original property in Anyang was inexplicably affected.

attack.

Although there is no evidence that the Sun family did anything, everyone knows who else besides the Sun family has such courage. There is no other way, just sue, the Sihai Gang will ignore you, and outsiders say that people in the Sihai Gang

The son-in-law of the Sun family is in charge of affairs. Do you still want someone to exterminate your relatives in a just and righteous way?

"Brother, are we going to just watch and surrender the Lin family to others without doing anything?" Lin Qingquan, the second eldest son of the Lin family, was furious and slapped the table.

"You can give your daughter to the Sihai Gang like a commodity. If you have the ability, give one as a try." The boss, Lin Qingliu, also slapped the table and retorted: "The daughters of our Lin family are not that cheap. If you really dare to imitate the Sun family,

If you look like this, I will chop you into pieces."

Lin Qingquan sighed.

"Dad, uncle, the second brother is back." Lin Ying's voice rang outside Lin's house. She was very happy today. The second brother gave her a magic weapon as soon as he came back.

"Lin Su is back?" Lin Qingquan couldn't help but was startled. This nephew had been away for so long that he almost forgot that there was another nephew outside. He patted his forehead and said to Lin Qingliu: "Brother, Su'er is back, these bad guys

Just put your mind at ease in advance, I’ve been to Shaolin for five years and I don’t know what I’ll look like anymore.”

"Come back as soon as you come back." Lin Qingliu said lightly. Although he looked indifferent, anyone could see that his expression was very excited.

Lin Qingquan felt helpless towards the pretentious Lin Qingliu. The eldest brother was good at everything, but he just liked to hide himself. He clearly cared but looked as if nothing had happened. The head of the family was too majestic.

As soon as Lin Su entered the door, he bowed to Lin Qingliu and Lin Qingquan: "Meet my father and my second uncle."

"Just come back and meet your mother. She has been talking about you these past few years." Lin Qingliu said.

Lin Qingquan patted Lin Su's thick chest and said, "Yes, your body is very strong and you don't look as sick as before."

Lin Ying took Lin Qingquan's hand and said, "Dad, do you think this hairpin of mine is beautiful?"

Lin Qingquan didn't have the intention to watch anything, so he said something perfunctory about how beautiful it was. As a result, Lin Ying was unhappy and pouted: "Humph, you didn't watch it at all, you're lying."

Lin Qingliu came to the rescue with a smile, "Ying'er, your wooden hairpin is so unique. Didn't you buy it from Meiyulou?"
