Chapter 33: Chen Huaian was kidnapped?

Chapter 33 Chen Huaian was kidnapped?

Chen Huaian saw the changes in the system and silently entered the River God Temple again.

When he burned three incense sticks again, he didn't feel anything strange this time.

Chen Huaian said with a hint of regret: "What a pity, it's only once, it would be great if it could happen a few more times."

Chen Huaian shook his head slightly and walked out of the River God Temple.

When Chen Huaian walked out of the river god temple, Lao Niu asked him why he wanted to burn three incense sticks again. Chen Huaian replied, "I hope the river god can make you give up beef."

"Moo." (You might as well wish for your eyes to come back. That's more reliable.)

"It's not even reliable."

Chen Huaian said, he and Lao Niu returned to the city gate guard post, he said to the guard: "I have finished burning incense, can I go in?"

"Yes, yes, this way please."

After the guard guessed that Chen Huaian was an immortal, he even changed his address from "you" to "you".

"By the way, do you know what your river god looks like?"

Chen Huaian heard Lao Niu say that the statues in the temple had no faces, so Chen Huaian asked curiously.

The guard shook his head slightly and said, "Our river god has a strange personality. It seems that no one has seen his true appearance so far."

"However, since last year, the river god has stopped caring about us and only wants us to burn incense."

"I don't care about you anymore, but I still want you to burn incense."

Chen Huaian said in his heart, and finally concluded with one sentence, "It's pure freeloading."

Therefore, the river god of Heshui County has a new name in Chen Huaian's eyes: "Freeloader Monster."

At this moment, the river god lying on the bed twitched and thought to himself, "Who is scolding me?"

Although he really wanted to find this person, he was too weak to even give orders, let alone find the person who scolded him.

The person who cursed him had already entered the city.

"Old Cow, it looks like I'll have to stay here for a short time. I don't have money to buy anything."

"Moo." (Then why don't you go make money quickly.)

"Okay, then you should stay home and learn how to read a map and cook."

"I don't want to spend half a month on a detour when I could have taken three days to get there next time."

Lao Niu said that this was an accident and it would definitely not happen again next time.

Chen Huaian found a house. Fortunately, he still had money to rent a house, otherwise he would have to find a dilapidated temple to sleep in.

After renting a house, Chen Huaian found a place with a lot of people and started playing "Wu Gui Lai". As soon as the song started, a large number of people stopped.

The beautiful melody, the clear sound of the flute, and everyone has different feelings when listening to the song, so more and more people came to listen to Chen Huaian's music, until in the end there were people standing around him.

Chen Huaian was delighted when he heard the bang bang bang sounds.

"It seems that we don't need to stay long. We can leave after blowing for two or three days."

This time, Chen Huaian mainly wanted to buy salt. He felt that food without salt was too unpalatable. Although what he bought was basically coarse salt, he knew how to purify it.

There is also fine salt, but it is very expensive and not as good as what he suggested, so all in all, buying coarse salt is the most cost-effective.

After the song was over, there was a burst of applause, and many people asked Chen Huaian to play another song. Chen Huaian did not spoil the fun, he put the flute to his lips and played Wugui again.

"Dad, what's going on over there? Why are there so many people?"

In a carriage, a young girl asked the bloated man next to her. "I'll send someone to check it out." The bloated man said, and then he sent someone to investigate the stall where Chen Huaian played the music.

Not long after, the man came back and said, "I want to tell you, sir, it was a blind man playing the flute, and the sound was very melodious and pleasant."

The man in the carriage was the county magistrate, Zhang Cheng, and the girl next to him was his daughter, Zhang Xin.

After hearing the news, Zhang Cheng lost all interest, but the girl next to him hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, I want to listen, I want to listen, take me to listen."

Zhang Chengke couldn't stand the girl's coquettish behavior towards him, so he patted Zhang Shu's hand gently and said, "Okay, Dad will take you there."

"Someone, clear the way."

Following Zhang Cheng's order, the guards in front of him rushed into the crowd and shouted, "Thank you, Master, for coming to listen to the music. Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

"Here comes that Zhang Bapi again. Go away, go away."

"That's right! Hurry up and leave. If you have daughters, take them away quickly."

Many people whispered bad things about Zhang Cheng, and then silently gave way. Chen Huaian listened to their words and frowned, "There are really few good officials in troubled times."

"And you, blind man, hurry up and take the money you earned. Otherwise, you won't have a penny left in a while."

"Yeah, put it away quickly."

Reminding Chen Huaian to put away the money he earned, Chen Huaian did not hesitate at all and quickly put the money in the bowl.

After he collected the money, the number of people who originally listened to him decreased to a handful.

At this time, the carriage carrying Zhang Cheng also arrived in front of Chen Huaian.

"A blind man?" Zhang Cheng said with disdain, "It seems he doesn't have much money." Zhang Cheng said in his heart.

Zhang Shu was different. She looked at Chen Huaian with great interest. "My servant said that you play very well. Can you play another one for me?"

"of course can."

After Chen Huaian finished speaking, he put the flute to his lips and played Wugui. Chen Huaian was not afraid of Zhang Cheng. He played the tune, and it was up to those people whether to reward him or not. He did not force them to do so.

Moreover, he felt that he had made enough money today, and he didn't want to get into trouble, so it wouldn't hurt for him to play one more song.

After the song, Zhang Xin clapped his hands happily, "It sounds good, really good. I didn't expect a blind person like you could play such a beautiful song."

Zhang Xin's eyes lit up, but her next words made Chen Huaian unhappy, "Dad, I want this person to be my slave and play music for me all his life."

Chen Huaian frowned slightly, holding the flute and clasping his fists, he said, "My lady, I sell my art but not my body, so please don't have this idea."

Zhang Xin was immediately unhappy when she heard this, "Dad, I want it."

Zhang Cheng had no resistance to Zhang Xin's coquettish behavior. He waved his hand and said to his men, "Come here, tie him up and take him back."

Chen Huaian secretly thought that this was not good. Could Chen Huaian surrender to them? This was obviously unlikely.

He assumed a fighting stance, ready to knock them out and get the hell out of here.

Zhang Cheng laughed disdainfully at this scene, and his guards also sneered.

The battle was about to break out. Zhang Cheng's guards rushed towards Chen Huaian, and Chen Huaian also rushed towards them.

The scene changed, and Chen Huaian was tied up and carried to Zhang Cheng's house. It was not that Chen Huaian did not want to resist, but this would bring unnecessary trouble. It would be better for him to obey them and find a chance to sneak away at night.

However, what Chen Huaian didn't know was that this would be the decision he would regret the most.
