BXBX NOVEL Chapter 489 - 489 Didn’t Buy It?
It wasn’t until Shao Shuting finished writing the letter and gave it to Xue Yan that Xue Yan said, “My brother will set up a stall in town tomorrow. I’ll ask him to deliver it to Quanping Inn.”
“Many thanks, comrade.” Shao Shuting lay back again. It was more comfortable to lie down like this, but the wound still hurt.
He didn’t know which doctor was so cruel that when he saw the pus, he directly cut off the rotten flesh, which would probably leave a big scar. However, he had many scars on his body, so he didn’t care about this one.

Looking at this shabby room, he looked at the two basins of ice beside the bed, which had already melted. He raised his eyebrows and said, “You guys spent a lot of money trying to save my life. You even bought ice from town and brought it back.”
He had heard that there was someone selling ice in this town before he had even arrived in the county. He didn’t know which family was so capable that they could actually make ice. He had wanted to have a bowl of ice before leaving.
Xue Yan was just about to put away the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone when he heard this, he said lightly, “I didn’t buy the ice.”
“You didn’t?” Shao Shuting was surprised. “Then where did it come from… Wait…” he suddenly thought of something and suddenly became serious. “Your name is Xue Yan, and your surname is Xue… I heard that the stall that sells ice in the town is called something like Xue’s Stall or something. So, your family is the one who can make ice?”
“Yes.” Xue Yan answered calmly, and then went to the river to wash the brush and inkstone.
Jiang Yue went with him.
Shao Shuting’s wound hurt badly, but he was also bored and panicked when he saw them leave. He looked at the beam above his head and unconsciously smiled. “Jiang Yue… Xue Yan… These two kids… Interesting…”
…
Xue Dagui returned in the evening. The moment he entered the house, he thought he had gone to the wrong house. He looked around his house several times. After confirming that it was really his house, he went back in and checked his room. Seeing that his room was the same as before, he patted himself and said to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan with a relieved expression, “Good, good, you guys didn’t clean up my room. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night. About that kitchen, do you guys still want me to use it?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
Since Xue Dagui was back, this meant that Sifu must have come back from town as well. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan planned to go home, but when they came out of Xue Dagui’s house, they saw Wufu learning how to ride a horse again.
He had been learning for a few days. Ever since they had horses at home, Wufu would take the time to properly ride a horse. Wufu had already learned how to sit on one, but he did not dare to let the horse run.
Wufu was afraid that he would fall down. Yesterday, it was Sanfu who accompanied him, and today it was Erfu’s turn.
Sifu was in the central room counting how much money he had earned today. When he saw them return, he immediately stopped counting and asked, “How’s the person you picked up?”
Without waiting for their reply, Sifu continued, “Not long after you came back today, a lot of bailiffs came from the county office. Apparently someone was killed in the alley not far from our stall. Two people died.”
