My Abilities Come with Special Effects-Chapter 5: Vigilantes Tour (1)

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yan carried Lin Xiaozhi out.

There was no one outside the door and it was cold. Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Perhaps he had overreacted yesterday.

After sending Lin Xiaozhi to the Muqing Book House, Lin Yan ran all the way.

After eating four poisonous mushrooms last night, Lin Yan clearly felt that his endurance had increased a lot. He arrived at the rice store without much effort.

His job could be considered a cashier of the rice house.

The Fugui Rice Shop not only sold rice to individuals, but also delivered rice to many rich families and shops in nearby districts. Therefore, the daily accounts were extremely frequent.

After he sat in the narrow cubicle for a while, people began to come in and out to hand over the list.

Time passed quickly as he buried his head in his work. By the time he finished clearing the accounts in his hands, it was already noon.

Lin Yan pressed his slightly hot eyebrows and took out the shriveled sesame seed cake he had bought in the morning. He also got a bowl of water. He didn't want to sit in the narrow cubicle anymore, so he sat on the stone steps in the corner of the courtyard and ate the sesame seed cake from time to time. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝒏𝙤𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

The sesame seed cake was dry and hard, and could only be swallowed with water.

Fortunately, Xiaozhi stayed at Muqing Book House and had lunch provided. Otherwise, he might not have been able to take care of her.

At this moment, Wu San and Lu Yan also came over and sat beside him.

Lu Yan was the same as Wu San. They were both laborers, but he was introverted and did not talk much.

Lin Yan was the accountant, and his status was slightly higher than Lu Yan and Wu San.

However, he did not sign a contract and could not pee in the same pot as the other accountants, so he was familiar with Lu Yan and Wu San.

As soon as he sat down, Wu San leaned closer and whispered, "Hey, do you still remember Liu Quan?"

"The one guarding the rice in the warehouse? I heard he's Guard Geng's brother-in-law?"

"Yes, he was captured by Tiger Camp last night!"

"What!"

Lin Yan recalled the scene of the Tiger Camp capturing people yesterday. Clearly, the Tiger Camp was capturing people in more than one place.

Wu San gloated. "This Liu Quan is arrogant and despotic just because he's Geng Bing's brother-in-law. He's used to tyrannizing others. Great, this is definitely the Dingdeng Battle. If he goes up, he'll die. He probably won't be able to come back!"

Geng Bing was Guard Geng.

Lu Yan asked carefully, "Isn't Guard Geng a martial artist? Why didn't he plead for leniency?"

Wu San rolled his eyes. "Tsk! Plead for leniency? What kind of place is the Tiger Camp? Geng Bing is only arrogant in front of us. He's nothing in front of the Tiger Camp…"

"Shh, someone's coming!"

Lin Yan saw it from the corner of his eye and quickly stopped Wu San.

It was Geng Bing who walked in. His fierce face was so dark that water was about to drip from it. Without saying a word, he walked straight into the inner hall.

After he entered, Wu San laughed softly and said, "Look at him. His face has turned green! I heard that his wife cried and made a fuss yesterday. She even scratched him with her nails and insisted that he beg someone to save Liu Quan. Hehe, what kind of bullsh*t martial artist is he? He's being controlled by his wife!"

Lu Yan whispered, "Why did he go to the inner hall?"

Lin Yan said softly, "The big boss came to the shop today. He's in the inner hall."

"Big boss!"

Wu San and Lu Yan paused. The big boss of the rice shop was surnamed Zhang. He had always been high and mighty in the rice shop. They had only heard of his name and never seen him.

It was said that he had six or seven businesses similar to the Fugui Rice Shop. Even the Inner Circle had his businesses.

To the few of them, Guard Geng was already considered a big shot. They could not even imagine the power and status of a noble like Boss Zhang.

Wu San subconsciously lowered his voice. "So, Geng Bing went to beg the big boss? Do you think he can succeed?"

Lu Yan guessed in a low voice, "Guard Geng is a martial artist after all. Big Boss should help, right?"

Wu San cursed in a low voice. "The big boss is so powerful. Once he makes a move, won't Liu Quan be able to return safely? F*ck, a scourge will live for a thousand years!"

Lin Yan shook his head. "I'll go back to work first."

What he was thinking was, what would Xiaozhi do if he was caught?

After the accounting in the afternoon ended, Lin Yan immediately went out. He was very careful along the way, afraid that he would be bumped into by the Tiger Camp. He arrived at the Muqing Book House as soon as possible.

He fetched water again. When he was done, it was just in time for the Muqing Book House's class to start.

After the children ran out, Lin Yan first instructed Xiaozhi to sit at the side and rest before respectfully walking to Elder Li, who was sitting in the courtyard to rest.

Old Man Li sat in front of the stone table and glanced at him. Suddenly, he looked a little surprised. "Huh?"

Lin Yan didn't understand. "Elder Li?"

Elder Li sized Lin Yan up twice and said, "What special thing did you eat yesterday?"

Lin Yan was shocked. Elder Li had seen through the change in his blood essence!

His mind raced as he pretended not to understand. "Elder Li, what do you mean?"

"Previously, your eyes were dull and your face was dark, but today, your eyes are full of spirit and red light. You seem to have abundant blood energy. Did you eat something nourishing yesterday?"

Lin Yan quickly came up with an idea. "Could it be that fruit? Yesterday, when I was buying firewood from a villager, he gave me a red fruit. It looked ordinary. After I ate it, I felt my body heat up and thought I was poisoned."

Li Muqing clicked his tongue and sighed. "Red. It looks ordinary. Is it the size of a fist? It should be the Red Cloud Fruit. This is a good medicinal fruit. One is worth two taels of silver. The villagers don't know how to appreciate good things. You've benefited."

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to be pleasantly surprised. Then, he looked vexed. "Two taels? So expensive? If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten it!"

"Be content. The Red Cloud Fruit can nourish your blood energy. It can make you energetic for a few days. There are many benefits."
