Chapter 1478 Wedding
After reading the note for a while, Chen Lin came to the stone platform.
He picked up a piece of ore to look at it.
This ore is called explosive stone. When burned by fire, it will make crackling sounds and can produce extremely high temperatures. It is an important fuel for refining high-end weapons in this world.
The things he wants to make have very high material requirements, and this fuel must be used to refine them.
Otherwise, even if he has the blessing of innate ability, it will not work.
After getting ready, Chen Lin began to act.
Although he has two or three thousand years of memory and rich experience in all aspects, this body is only ten years old and does not have extraordinary energy. His strength is really limited, and he did not make much progress in an afternoon.
At dinner time, he could only return home.
The next morning, he went to the cave to refine materials in the name of catching birds in the mountains.
Spring goes and autumn comes.
Five years have passed in a blink of an eye.
The small village is peaceful and peaceful, and what Chen Lin worried about did not happen.
In the past five years, his mother has been farming and weaving without showing any abnormality, and no enemies have come to the door.
The only change is that Uncle Han next door saw that there was no hope of marrying the beauty, so he married someone else and moved to the county town.
His material channel was interrupted.
But he had grown up and was no longer controlled so tightly. If he lacked any materials, he could go to the county town to buy them himself.
With his means, it was easy to secretly earn some money to buy materials, and he had accumulated a little over the years.
And with his innate ability, he also refined a few small gadgets and had a certain self-protection power.
But these were not what he wanted.
Chen Lin stood in the yard and looked at the sky in the distance.
He came to this world not to develop technology or to change this place, but to comprehend the laws of fate and reincarnation.
Mainly the law of fate.
Because he needed the law of fate to be perfect, and then go to the drifting bottle scene to pick up bottles and strive to get treasures that can resolve the dilemma of not being able to leave the fiefdom.
But according to the current process, let alone making the law of fate perfect, it is a problem whether he can leave here.
"If it doesn't work, I have to go to the outside world to take a look."
Chen Lin made a decision.
After waiting here for fifteen years, there was no change. It is very likely that the woman in the underworld gave him the petals simply to let him retain his memory, and there was no other trick.
He needed to find the remaining answers himself.
"March 15, lanterns, window paper, reflecting people's shadows, face to face, can't see clearly..."
At this time, a group of naughty children passed by the front of the yard, singing the ballad that generations of children in the village would sing.
Chen Lin's eyes fell on these children, and he kept watching them until their figures disappeared.
Then he showed a thoughtful look.
This ballad is widely sung. Not only the children in their village sing it, but also the children in the surrounding villages and the county town.
There is nothing special about it, just these few sentences over and over again.
No one knows what it means specifically, as if it suddenly appeared one day.
He once suspected that this ballad contained some secrets, and tried hard to check and crack it, but he did not get any results.
Almost every March 15th, he would hold a lantern and shine on the window paper, not only on his own home, but also on other people's homes, and even went to other villages to shine, and was beaten several times for this.
After letting his thoughts fly for a while, Chen Lin suppressed his irritability and turned to walk into the house.
If he wanted to go out and make a living, he had to ask his mother for permission.
And he had to find a way to make more money to save for his mother's living, because he might never come back after he left.
"Drip, drip, dong, dong, drip..."
At this time, a cheerful drum sound sounded.
Then a group of people appeared at the turn of the intersection.
There was also a red sedan.
The group of naughty children who had just run over followed the sedan, jumping and singing ballads.
"March 15th, holding lanterns, window paper, shining on people, face to face, can't see clearly..."
With a noisy sound, the sedan got closer and closer.
Finally, it stopped in front of the Han family courtyard next to it.
Chen Lin looked over in surprise.
When the drums and music stopped, someone performed some simple rituals at the gate of the courtyard, then opened the gate and carried the sedan into the courtyard.
The two houses were separated by a low wall, and it was clear that after the sedan came down, an embroidered shoe first poked out from the curtain, and then a slender figure came out.
But she was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly.
The maid next to her hurried forward, helped the woman down, and walked into the room through the opened door.
"Have they moved in? The speed is fast enough, and the pomp is also very grand!"
Chen's mother came out of the house and sighed.
"Does mother know them? Are they relatives of Uncle Han?"
Hearing Chen's mother's words, Chen Lin spoke in surprise.
Chen's mother shook her head, "No, your uncle Han sold the house. When you were not at home yesterday, someone came to clean it. I didn't expect that they moved in today."
"Do you know where they moved from? They look rich. Why did they buy Uncle Han's small yard?"
Chen Lin asked again after hearing this.
Although this village is close to the county town, many people from the county come to buy houses, but they are all small families who can't afford to buy houses in the county.
This person looks like a high-ranking person at first glance. Logically speaking, he shouldn't buy such a small house. There are so many people and it will be crowded.
"Who knows, come from wherever you like."
Mother Chen withdrew her gaze and returned to the house.
Then he said to Chen Lin, who entered the house later: "You have grown up now. You can't stay at home all the time. Go to the county to find something to make a living. Do you want to learn some crafts or do some small business?"
Chen Lin's eyes flashed.
When he wanted to go out before, the other party was strongly opposed and just wanted him to live a stable life in the village.
Now she took the initiative to let him go. It was obvious that there was a reason, probably because of the new neighbor.
"Don't worry, mother, I want to stay with you for another year or two before going out."
The appearance of the strange neighbor made Chen Lin temporarily give up the idea of leaving.
He needs to find out first whether that woman is the change he has been waiting for.
Even if she wasn't coming for him, she was definitely coming for her mother. He had to resolve the matter before he could leave with peace of mind.
"If you don't want to leave, then I'll arrange a marriage for you. It's not bad to just farm at home."
After hearing Chen Lin's words, Chen's mother didn't force herself any further.
Chen Lin didn't care either.
Naturally, he won't say kiss, but there is no need to refute. After a year and a half, he will settle the matters here and leave directly.
However, Chen Lin didn't expect that within a few days, Chen's mother would find a candidate for him.
Moreover, it was bought from the county town and brought directly to the home without even a chance to object.
The girl's name is Xiaolian.
He is also fifteen years old, fairly handsome, but very thin. It is said that his parents have died and he has been living at his uncle's house.
When things got to this point, Chen Lin had no objection.
If he left, her mother would be very lonely, so it would be nice to have her daughter-in-law by her side.
There is another reason.
The name Xiaolian, with the word "lotus" in it, gave him some associations, and he wanted to see if it was related to the Immortal Soul Lotus.
Chen's mother Li Lei was popular, and the wedding was held the day after Xiaolian was brought back.
It's very simple, just invite some villagers and ask the village elder to be a witness.
"Congratulations to the Chen family on your marriage. This is a congratulatory gift from my young lady. Please don't blame me if it's not convenient for her to show up in public."
In the middle of the wedding, a middle-aged housekeeper came over from the yard next door and presented a gift box.
Mother Chen exchanged pleasantries with the other party, and then the other party said goodbye and left without even having a glass of wedding wine.
Seeing this, Chen Lin stepped forward to take the gift box and opened it to check.
Then his eyes flashed.
Inside the box is a small and exquisite lantern, shaped like a snow-white lotus!
Lanterns!
Chen Lin suddenly remembered that nursery rhyme.
And today happens to be March 15th!
Obviously, the nursery rhyme has a moral.
It was most likely a secret code left for him by the woman in the underworld, but he still couldn't figure out what it pointed to and what the purpose was.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Chen Lin simply stopped making random guesses.
After Bingke left, he took the firearm he made, climbed over the wall, and entered the lady's yard.
He was extremely familiar with this courtyard, so he rushed directly into the room without pausing or covering up.
But what shocked Chen Lin was that there was no one in the room!
No matter it was the young lady, the housekeeper or the maid, they all disappeared completely.
I searched around, including the front yard, back yard, and side rooms.
Not a soul was to be seen, not a thing was left behind.
Chen Lin became suspicious.
Although he was holding a wedding, he had been paying attention to this place since receiving the lanterns. With so many people trying to leave, it was impossible not to be discovered.
It's even less likely that there won't be any traces at all.
unless.
Chen Lin frowned deeply.
Unless this world is not what he knows, there is no extraordinary power, but there are cultivators, but they practice in different ways and in small numbers, so he didn't understand it.
In this case, his safety in this world will be greatly reduced.
You should consider carefully when traveling abroad.
There is another possibility.
That is, this woman is a woman from the underworld, and she came here specifically to give him guidance.
But no matter what it is, this feeling of being led by the nose is uncomfortable.
"There's no need to look, she's gone. That woman is Alan, the number one in Wuzhen Tower in Fucheng. She's not suitable for you. You'd better live a good life with Xiaolian!"
As the sound rang, Mother Chen walked in from outside.
"Wuzhen Building?"
"Alan?"
Chen Lin stood stunned on the spot.
But he immediately reacted and asked doubtfully: "Fucheng is more than a thousand miles away from us, what is she doing here?"
Chen Lin was not surprised that his mother knew the identity of the other party. After all, the mother's identity was not simple.
But the appearance of the two names Wuzhenlou and Alan here gave him a strong sense of dissonance.
"Haha, who knows, a brothel girl, no matter what she does, just come home with me!"
Chen's mother had no intention of explaining and took Chen Lin back to her home.
"How did they leave? Why didn't I see them? Are they the kind of martial arts masters who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth?"
This matter must be clarified. After returning to his yard, Chen Lin asked again.
"What a master!"
Mother Chen curled her lips.
Then he said, "Your uncle Han used to be a big thief. There is a secret passage in his room that leads directly to the back mountain. The exit is not far from your secret cave."
Chen Lin's face darkened.
It turned out that his every move was under the watchful eyes of his mother and Uncle Han.
He thought he was doing it secretly.
But it's normal to think about it.
After all, he is just a child. No matter how careful he is, he has been running to the back mountain for more than ten years and often buying ore. It is impossible not to arouse suspicion.
He had thought that he would be discovered, so he only placed some materials for refining in the cave. The finished products and important things were hidden more secretly.
Even if the cave was discovered, people would only think that he was refining steel and wanted to make weapons, and would not think of anything else.
It is probably because of this that his mother asked him if he wanted to go to the county to learn a craft.
The cave is nothing.
But he didn't notice such a secret passage for so many years. He really relied on extraordinary means for too long. Once he lost energy, he became worse than ordinary people.
This is a serious omission, and we must find a way to make up for it.
Chen Lin was secretly alert.
This kind of situation where he completely lost his extraordinary means might not happen again in the future, and he couldn't lose the initiative one after another.
"So, that Alan knew Uncle Han and came for Uncle Han's things?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
He immediately said: "Then Uncle Han is in danger, should we notify him?"
"You don't have to worry about that, just take care of the bridal chamber."
Chen's mother still didn't answer, and sent Chen Lin directly to the bridal chamber, and took away the gift box with the lantern.
Now Chen Lin wanted to test according to the nursery rhyme, but he couldn't do it. He could only test his wife Xiaolian to see if she was related to the woman in the underworld.
But Xiaolian didn't say a word after testing for a whole night.
After the wedding.
Chen's mother did nothing every day, just staring at Chen Lin, asking him to keep having bridal chambers.
She wished she could not stop day and night.
The result was that Xiaolian was pregnant in less than two months.
Chen Lin was helpless about this.
This was definitely not what he wanted. It was hard to say whether leaving offspring in this world would have any impact on his future.
But he couldn't resist.
His mother had a secret pill. Once he took it, he couldn't control himself. Even with his state of mind, he couldn't resolve it.
He could only obey.
After ten months of pregnancy, he gave birth.
Xiaolian gave birth to a boy.
Named Chen Fan.
What Chen Lin didn't expect was that after Chen Fan was born, he was not loved by his mother.
Even Xiaolian was neglected.
Then, his mother caught the top girl Alan from Wuzhen Tower.
She said she wanted to be his concubine.
Then she continued to force-feed him medicine and started a crazy bridal chamber.
