Assassin Farmer

EXTRA 6-10

Special 6: Marriage Line (1)

Tomorrow was the semi-annual meeting of the Brother's League.

After Lin Xiao finished inspecting Cui Yu Zhai Restaurant, he locked the doors and walked home.

It takes three hours to walk to He Yuan, but he would rather walk slowly in the dense night every day. The quiet environment can relieve his fatigue during the day.

The streets were silent during the late autumn time. In addition to the occasional barking of dogs, the regular chirping intertwined to break the silence of the entire Dashi.

Passing through Fan Luo City Gate, one will find the main street leading to He Yuan.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street have closed, except for a few workshops in their rush period; they were ramping up production with the little time they had left. 

Huh? What's that? Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, and through the misty twilight, his sharp eyes swept to the strange bulge at the entrance of an incense shop.

Wrinkling his eyebrows, with a single leap, he appeared in front of the door of the incense workshop, which was several dozen meters away. It turned out to be a woman curled up and sleeping.

He reached out and probed her forehead, to find it hot. No wonder she did not respond to his arrival.

Knocking on the door of the incense workshop, he didn't have time to pay attention to the surprised expression of the servant who came to open the door, and carried her into the incense shop.

"Eldest Young Master, she... I mean this girl was here to look for relatives. We have told her clearly during the day that the person she was looking for is not here. However, for some reason, she just stood by the door and refused to leave." Uncle Xiang, the chief steward of the incense shop, was an old incense craftsman that was specially recruited by his mother from the imperial capital. His personality has always been calm and reserved. Therefore, now that his mother seldom comes to the store, Uncle Xiang acts as the main manager.

"Hmm, maybe she has just been in the cold for too long, so she'll be fine after taking a few prescriptions." The doctor on duty at Qingyang Clinic, who was urgently summoned by Lin Xiao, prescribed her antipyretic and cold expelling medicine. He then motioned the servant to take it to the kitchen to brew before turning back to Lin Xiao's gloomy face. He smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Don't worry about it, Young Master. Uncle Xiang didn't mean to let the girl catch the cold. He just did not notice."

Lin Xiao nodded, he didn't mean to take out his anger at Uncle Xiang, but felt that if he didn't pay attention tonight. This girl was very likely to be frozen by the cold dew of late autumn, or even freeze to death. 

At that time, the incense shop will be affected a little, but a person's life was a big deal.

"Eldest Young Master, it's late now. Please head back to rest first. With me here, the arrangements will be made properly. I'll ask Xiao Cui to come and take care of this girl." Uncle Xiang was a little embarrassed. How could he not know what Lin Xiao was thinking? He had the desire to remedy the situation.
