The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 65 - Forest Beetles
"Looks like beetles, Chen."
Xin Chen gave a small laugh, showing off a beetle that he placed in a small clear box.The boxes were deliberately brought along to collect the captured beetles and store them in the space ring.
In the White Fog Valley itself, only a beetle can be valued at high value, depending on the beauty and rarity of the species sold.
"In this forest beetles roam freely, it seems rarely caught, huh?"
Youji looks like a friendly young man in general, not only is he nice, but he also has an innocent attitude. Because of his innocence, Xin Chen was surprised to hear the young man's words.
"You didn't know the beetle was poisonous ? Especially if touched, maybe the poison powder on his wings can get into your nose, the poison will make you..."
Brukh
Xin Chen had already fainted first before Youji managed to finish his words.
"Fainting. Well, I fainted first." Youji responded lightly, he carried Xin Chen's body over his shoulder and carried the child through the fence behind their house.
Youji went inside the room where Xin Chen was laid, the morning was already starting to blister out there making the sunlight enter through the cracks of the house. Making the originally cold air gradually warm up, he placed some herbs and smeared them on Xin Chen's nose.
To reduce the poison effect of the beetle earlier with the aroma of herbal plants. At least make Xin Chen's state a little better than before.
Jin Sakai's voice made Xin Chen open his eyes, awakening to realize he was in a foreign place.
Seeing Youji and Jin Sakai in this place Xin Chen was sure he was in their home.
"Ah... I didn't know you were coming this early, Chen." Jin Sakai slightly drew a smile as Xin Chen stared at him, the boy scratching behind his non-itchy ears.
"The beetle poison made me faint in the forest, Youji didn't tell me the beetle was poisonous."
Jin Sakai turned to his son, wanting to reprimand his son so that it would not be like that anymore. "You should have told the beetles in this place dangerous, Youji."
Youji shook his shoulders as he carried the captured eel into the place, "Dad, the beetle is not very poisonous. They only made Xin Chen faint. No need to worry like that either."
Jin Sakai shrugged his shoulders indifferently, returning to take care of his work in the forging room. "Chen, when you're ready let's hurry. We're gonna forge your sword now."
"Eh, but... I have to finish something first." He jumped up from the bed and stood right in front of the door, "I'll be back in half an hour. Can you just wait a minute?"
Jin Sakai thought for a while before finally agreeing.
"It's okay, go. We'll wait for you."
Xin Chen nodded slowly, he immediately dashed towards Wei Feng's house. When he was about to make a sound to call Wei Feng, Xin Chen hurriedly silenced his mouth. Frowning until it doubled, it seemed that Wei Feng was in trouble at the moment.
"Who asked you to help me that day? And what the fuck is this? It's not your own initiative that's willing to help me out and now it's asking for money."
The two sisters clearly did not receive any reply back by Wei Feng, "Obviously that day you saw that the price of the medicine was not cheap. You know our family also needs money instead of helping people like you?"
"Ah... I don't want to take care of it. Come, Chen. We better get out of here," Wei Feng asked as he grieved. Upset to see the faces of the two women for a long time.
"You're-! Don't know thank you!'
"How much debt? Maybe I can pay for it?"
"Fifty pieces of gold!"
"Chen, what are you paying them for. I don't owe you at all, come on..." Wei Feng started to grumble, he glanced at the two women with the tails of his eyes. It is not unusual anymore that people come to his house for reasons of debt.
Having no job and being lazy to farm like the rest of the population Wei Feng had absolutely no income to survive.
He can only eat game animals, several times fell ill due to drinking dirty well water and living all short.
It was this state of Wei Feng that attracted the pity of the people but the man's temper was bad in responding to it. He would rather behave rather than respect the good attitude of others.
In the end Xin Chen took out 25 pieces of gold, handing them to the two women. "Sorry, I just have this. I hope you can free him from debt."
"Huh, it's better than not being paid at all," he slandered Wei Feng. He smiled gently at Xin Chen. "You're still a kid anyway, there's no way you can pay for everything. Unless you're an adult and don't have a job like this guy next to you. I guarantee your life will be miserable until the end."
Xin Chen almost laughed hearing that, in fact he still had mountains of gold within the space ring. Only a few were issued just in case.
Besides because it should be a child of Xin Chen's age does not have much money like adults, for this matter Xin Chen did not want to spend his money continuously. Ren Yuan always taught him to skimp. So he got used to not spending his money.
Xin Chen had never felt himself stingy because compared to him, Xin Zhan was much stingier. Therefore Ren Yuan often told him when he wanted to buy anything, his son was good at bidding for goods and with his handsome face was able to make any woman would give him the cheapest price possible when he came.
On the other hand Xin Chen was curious as to what his family was doing in the White Fog Valley. Whether everything was fine or not he did not know either. For sure he was sure that Xin Zhan would not be silent, his twin would definitely be training desperately in order to become the successor of the second Demon Sword.
'Zhan Gege, just look. Coming home from here you will be surprised when I return.' Xin Chen's determination was already unanimous. He had to prove to anyone that he wasn't as weak as he used to be. He would snatch the title of Demon Sword at any cost. Being preoccupied with his own thoughts, suddenly Wei Feng's high voice deafened his ears.
"Wait... That you're insinuating is me, isn't it!?" Wei Feng could not bear the woman's words. The quarrel of the three people in front of him began, Xin Chen did not even have time to invite Wei Feng to hand over their hunting results yesterday to Gu Long.
After a long conversation, it turned out that these two brothers were Wan Yi and Wan Ming. The faces of both are equally beautiful and well-groomed, perhaps including a rich person if in this village.
Moreover, their beautiful nails are perfectly maintained. Any man will surely see twice as these two flowers pass by. Merely, a person like Wei Feng was not interested in female affairs. He prefers archery to seducing women.
