Chapter 138: Cai and Chi are Back in Forest Town

It took Chen Xiao Cai and Shen Chi half a month to finally arrive at Forest Town.

After entering Forest Town the two of them didn't go back to the village directly. Instead, they found an inn in the town to stay.

Chen Xiao Mi had sold their house in the village a long time ago, Shen Chi still had a country house from Granny Shen. However, the house had been empty for years, it was inhabitable without a thorough cleaning.

Over the years, Shen Chi had been accompanying Chen Xiao Cai wherever he went. Sometimes, he would get nostalgia and recalled the quite days when they were back in the village.

For Chen Xiao Cai, life in the village was indeed not good. In fact, Shen Chi was similar. Shen Chi's parents died early, and his relatives became estranged with him and Granny Shen for fear that they he would borrow money.

However, Shen Chi was slightly better than Chen Xiao Cai. When Granny Shen was alive, she had a few friends in the village and they all had offered her help.

Sometimes, when Shen Chi recalled the days in the village, he would live to go back to the village and have a look. However, when he was really back, Shen Chi felt rather bewildered.

"Forest Town has not changed in the past few years!" Shen Chi said.

In Shen Chi's impression, Forest Town should be much more prosperous than Sha County. Back then, when Shen Chi and Chen Xiao Cai had just arrived at Sha County, Shen Chi thought that Sha County could not compare to Forest Town. And within a few years' time, Sha County now had progressed in leaps and bounds.

Many villagers obtained wealth by hard work. In comparison, Forest Town looked rather plain.

Chen Xiao Cai walked on the street with his hands clasped behind his back, "We have witnessed Sha County's fast development. Lin Ge is so capable."

In comparison, Forest Town's County Magistrate was useless. It had been many years since they had left and there had been no change in town at all. However, an official would be considered as a good official as long as they don't take bribes.

Chen Xiao Cai nodded, "Yeah, Sha County people should really thank Lin Ge!"

"Second Master Chen," Yang Heng Zhi greeted Chen Xiao Cai warmly. "My servants said that they saw you. I thought they saw wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true, what a nice surprise!"

"Master Yang! Long time no see," Chen Xiao Cai cupped his hands to Yang Heng Zhi.

"Long time no see, Second Master Chen, you look great!" Yang Heng Zhi thought to himself, 'A few years ago, Chen Xiao Cai was already a big shot, and now he looks even more imposing!'

"Master Yang, you are flattering me."

"Don't be so modest. I heard that you went to the capital two years ago?"

Chen Xiao Cai nodded and said, "Yes, me and a friend just tried our luck."

After Chen Xiao Cai came back, Ji Yun An seemed to have reprinted the story a few more times and soon Chen Xiao Cai had received more than 1,000 taels of dividends from Ji Yun An.

Yang Heng Zhi smiled and said, "Second Master Yang, you are like the old times, always so humble."

From what Butcher Zhang had said, Chen Xiao Cai stayed in the capital city for less than two months, and he had earned a few hundred taels of silver. The silver was not the most important thing, apparently Chen Xiao Cai had associated with people in the Ministry of War.
