Chapter 48 - 46 The Effects of Medicinal Baths
Having left Mr. Lu’s small courtyard, Lin Yan went straight to his elder brother’s home.
But the person who came to meet him was a stout young man.
This was his sister-in-law’s brother, named He Zhi, who was now the head official of the sixth street of Linjiang Square, and he was quite influential in this area.
Originally, Lin Yan had been able to work at the slaughterhouse because of his relationship with He Zhi.
"Flames! Where have you been these past two days? I haven’t seen you around."
"These last two days, the city has been haunted by an evil spirit, so I didn’t dare to go out."
"You’re not a weakling, and you’ve slaughtered your fair share of pigs, yet your courage is still so small. You need to toughen up. One of these days, I’ll take you to move a dead body."
He Zhi burst into laughter and said, "The older generation says that butchers have an Evil Qi. If an evil spirit sees you, it’s more likely to be scared of you! They say that evil spirits are afraid of wicked people, so what evil do you have to fear?"
"With the evil spirit causing trouble in the city these past days, the slaughterhouse has been requisitioned by the authorities from outside the city. You guys can take a break for two or three days. I was thinking you’ve had no work lately, so I was going to have you do some odd jobs to earn a few dozen Copper Coins."
He approached Lin Yan, ready to chat leisurely for a while.
At that moment, he saw a teenager hurrying over.
