Facing everyone’s surprised eyes, Chen Liejiu fearlessly stopped, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and looked at everyone: “What are you all doing around my house?”

Maybe because he had just killed a wolf, so he still had a lot of hostility in him, and his eyes were so sharp that they were frightening. When he looked over, many villagers were frightened and took a step back.

Xu Huaiqian hurried forward to explain: “They are all here to pay their debts.”

At the end, seeing some villagers who had appeared outside the yard at some point, he added: “There are also people who come to watch the fun.”

Chen Liejiu can understand those who come to watch the fun, but those who come to pay their debts, Chen Liejiu can’t quite understand.

In this day and age, there are still people who come to pay their debts on their own initiative?

Since they are so self-conscious, why do they need him to come?

 Before he could ask his doubts, Xu Huaiqian, who had come back to his senses from his handsome appearance, had calmed down. Looking at his body covered in blood and dirt, he asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”

Even Chen Xiaomei squeezed out of the crowd, looking anxious, “Brother! Are you okay? Are you injured?!”

Being stared at nervously by Xu Huaiqian and checked over and over by Chen Xiaomei, Chen Liejiu simply turned around in front of them, “Do you think I look like someone hurt?”

Xu Huaiqian and Chen Xiaomei shook their heads at the same time.

 “That’s how it is.” Chen Liejiu’s tongue swept across his gums that were bleeding from biting too hard, and threw the raft tied with straw ropes to the two big men Chen Xiaomei had found. He pulled out the blood-stained dagger from his waist, wiped it with his skirt, and called Xu Huaiqian and Chen Xiaomei into the house, “Come on, go in. Change clothes, and follow big brother to sell wolves.”

“But those are wolves——” Chen Xiaomei was still a little worried. There were not one or two wolves, but five or six wolves. Big brother went alone, could he really be unscathed?

But big brother appeared in front of her intact. She doubted big brother like this, as if she thought her big brother was incapable.

Xu Huaiqian was as worried as Chen Xiaomei, but he didn’t say anything. He just looked at Chen Liejiu’s face full of scratches and bloodstains to see if he was lying.

“I’m really okay.” Chen Liejiu waved his hand, intending to let them not worry, but he didn’t know what he was talking about when his expression twitched, and he groaned in pain.

“You still say it’s okay?” Xu Huaiqian looked down.

When he was not angry, he was a very easy-going person, but if he was angry and looked scary.

Chen Liejiu grinned at him with his teeth bared: “It’s really okay, maybe when fighting with the wolf, I hit the tree and scratched it. I’ll just apply some medicinal wine.”

Xu Huaiqian subconsciously said: “Then I’ll help you wipe it.”

After saying that, he realized that something seemed wrong. Here, men and women are strictly prohibited from touching. They are just a couple in name only. Their relationship has not yet progressed to the point where they can help each other apply medicine.

 Chen Liejiu had no such scruples. He was just worrying about where to find someone to help him apply the medicine. When Xu Huaiqian offered, he hurriedly agreed: “Okay.”

Xu Huaiqian couldn’t regret it.

After helping the people in the yard to pay the debt, Xu Huaiqian looked at the group of people who were still watching the excitement outside the yard and bowed to them: “Everyone can see that we have a lot of family affairs today, so we won’t entertain you. If you have nothing to do, please go away.”

He was polite and easy-going, and spoke clearly. He clearly heard everyone whispering about him being sickly, but he didn’t care.

The group of uncles and aunts watching the excitement outside couldn’t stay any longer. No matter how thick-skinned they were, the left one after another, leaving only a few ignorant children who were still playing.

Xu Huaiqian didn’t drive them away. He called Chen Xiaomei over and asked her to mix lime powder with water and sprinkle it around the yard.

 It’s not that Xu Huaiqian has any opinion on the villagers, but there are too many people coming today, and it is inevitable that some people have lice and fleas on their bodies. Once these things are contaminated, they will be all over the body if they are not treated.

He doesn’t want to have such things on his body. He remembered that when he repaired the toilet last time, he saw Chen Liejiu taking out lime powder, so he did this.

Chen Xiaomei did as she was told. Xu Huaiqian washed his hands and made sure that there was nothing dirty on his body. Then he pushed the door open and entered the house.

In the house, Chen Liejiu’s hair was loose after washing, covering his back without any clothes.

When Xu Huaiqian pushed the door in, he looked sideways and saw that it was Xu Huaiqian who turned his head back and wiped the bruises in front of him that were visible and within reach with medicinal wine.

 Xu Huaiqian closed the door and approached. He saw his black hair hanging down his back, revealing a piece of delicate white skin. He was not nervous in front of so many people just now, but he suddenly felt nervous.

“I have wiped all the visible places. You just need to help me wipe my back.” Chen Liejiu saw that Xu Huaiqian had not moved for a long time after he came in. He wiped the bruises from the collision and handed the bottle of medicinal wine to Xu Huaiqian.

“Okay.” Xu Huaiqian took the bottle of medicinal wine he handed over, and slowly lifted the wet hair on his back with his fingertips. The hair that had just been washed was still steamy, but the temperature that touched his palm was like encountering an open flame, burning and smoking in an instant.

But the scorching temperature only lasted for a moment, and then it cooled down at an extremely fast temperature.

 There was no charming scene under the black hair, only bruises that were crisscrossed and looked like the skin was bursting and painful.

The tension in his heart disappeared immediately. Xu Huaiqian put his hair on his shoulders, poured medicinal wine on his palm, rubbed it warm, and gently rubbed along his bruises. He asked him gently: “Does it hurt?”

“… Hiss, it’s okay.” As soon as the medicinal wine was applied, Chen Liejiu took a deep breath in pain, and then he exhaled again when the temperature of Xu Huaiqian’s palm warmed him.

“Why did you think of killing wolves?” Xu Huaiqian moved lightly, wondering why he ran to do such a dangerous thing and came back with injuries.

Chen Liejiu raised his head and looked at Xu Huaiqian who was standing behind him and applying medicine for him. He spit out a reason with confidence: “Revenge for you.”

“For me…” Revenge for what?

 Xu Huaiqian uttered two words, and suddenly remembered that the original owner’s parents were bitten to death by wolves. While swallowing his words, his hand movements also paused.

A feeling of unknown taste grew in his heart.

“Of course, it’s not just to avenge you,” Chen Liejiu did not hide it from Xu Huaiqian, “Wolf skin is quite valuable, so I thought of trying my luck at the place where your parents were killed. Maybe they haven’t left yet.”

It’s April now. When Xu Huaiqian’s parents were killed, it was the season of spring when everything revived. At that time, the wolves were so hungry that their eyes turned green. Not to mention people, even if it was a living thing, they would bite it to see if they could eat it.

Chen Liejiu thought that the wolves might not change places immediately after eating, especially since they bit people to death and didn’t suffer any revenge, they would probably stay for a while.

 As expected, not long after he entered the mountain, he encountered them foraging everywhere. This group of wolves that ran out of the deep mountains due to hunger had become sleek and strong after three months of training.

It was really hard to deal with them. He was thrown onto the tree trunks dozens of times. Fortunately, animals were animals. No matter how smart they were, they could only rely on brute force. After all, they were not as smart as humans.

In the end, relying on the terrain, he killed them one by one.

It not only avenged Xu Huaiqian, but also allowed him to make a fortune. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!

Chen Liejiu’s eyes sparkled when he talked about it. He was so proud. How could he be so powerful!

“Don’t move. The medicine has spilled.” Xu Huaiqian had to put medicine on him while enduring his finger-pointing and moving around. He had to stretch out a hand to hold his waist and let him be honest.

 Unexpectedly, when he pressed his hand over, his thumb pressed into the hollow of his waist. It was round and soft, just enough for the thumb. Xu Huaiqian looked down and saw that there was also one on his right waist.

If he pressed it with both hands…

Xu Huaiqian immediately realized that this idea was wrong, and hurriedly pulled back his hand. He pressed Chen Liejiu’s shoulder, and reminded him: “Apply the medicine.”

“Oh, okay.” After being reminded twice, Chen Liejiu realized that he was a little too proud, and hurriedly sat down honestly.

After calming down his excited mood, he remembered the group of people gathered in the yard when he came back, and asked again: “You said earlier that those people in the yard were here to pay their debts.”

“Mm.” Xu Huaiqian coughed lightly, moistened his throat, and told him about what happened today, including the way he thought of for the villagers to pay back the money in installments.

“This is good.” After applying the medicine and putting on his clothes, Chen Liejiu punched his fist. His eyes lit up, “If it is changed to monthly repayment, wouldn’t I have endless work to do every month.”

You should know that he has to take a commission for every account he asks for, but there are no accounts to ask for every month. More often, he can only ask for debts according to the date on the loan note.

 Sometimes there are several payments in a month, and sometimes there is none. The monthly payment system increases the workload, and the commission will also increase. Moreover, the pressure on the payer is not that great, which is much easier than asking for a large sum of money at one time.

“But you can’t do this alone. You have to discuss it with your superiors.” Chen Liejiu was in high spirits, and Xu Huaiqian didn’t mean to pour cold water on him.

Today, he wrote IOUs for the villagers for a day. From the IOUs, he knew that Chen Liejiu was not only helping the big families in the village to collect debts, but also helping the money houses, rich families, and government officials to collect debts. His influence was not small.

It’s good to lean on a big tree for shade. Since there is such a big tree behind him, why not discuss it with the big tree? If there is any trouble in the future, he can also borrow their influence.

After Xu Huaiqian’s point, Chen Liejiu immediately came to his senses. They are a small family, and it is too easy for others to copy them. It is better to unite the forces behind him.

 This will not only strengthen himself, but also make the forces behind him take notice of him.

After all, he is not the only one doing debt collection business in this countryside.

“Hey,” Chen Liejiu figured it out. He looked at Xu Huaiqian with sparkling eyes until he almost blushed, and then he said, “I really stole a good husband.”

After killing the wolf, he was still worried about where to make a fortune in the future, but as soon as he got home, his little husband solved it for him.

How could he be so lucky.

Husband.

Xu Huaiqian’s fingertips trembled. He was called husband by his wife, right?

 “We just happened to be going to the county to sell wolves,” Chen Liejiu flirted with someone without realizing what he had done, “Let’s go together to solve this matter. We can’t let them get away with our tricks. We have to ask them for some compensation.”

As he spoke, Chen Liejiu touched the closet where his clothes were stored and chose some clothes: “But you’d better dress up before going out to meet people. Your face makes people think you’re going to die soon, which is not good.”

Xu Huaiqian had raised his hand to go out and wash off the smell of medicinal wine on his hands, but when he heard Chen Liejiu’s words, his hand froze when it touched the door.

His face? ? ?

–Shown in front of many people today!!!
