Chapter 257: The Second Son’s Gift Was...

The old man’s muddy eyes looked at the people in front of him and saw that it was the village head who was accompanying them. That man had an extraordinary aura and was dressed luxuriously. He looked like a noble.

The old man’s grayish-white face panicked. “I should… I should die. Cough, cough…” The old man couldn’t help but cough loudly. “My house collapsed. It injured a noble… a noble… Cough, cough…”

The old man was already sick and weak. When he was smashed by the collapsed house, his face turned green and black!

When the village head, Li Yue, saw this old man, he knew that he was Old Man Gou from the village. His family was long gone, and he was the only one left. He was one of the few lonely old men in the village who had the hardest time.

It was already very difficult for him to endure this winter. He was very sick. After the wild beasts attacked the village, they shared the meat. The Guan family got someone to go over and cook meat soup for Old Man Gou and even some porridge with white rice. They also asked the village doctor to go over.

However, Old Man Gou’s body had been suffering from losses all year round. Furthermore, he was already old, so he could not hold on any longer. In the end, a sudden disaster happened today. His house had been damaged for many years and was very old. Furthermore, it suddenly collapsed!

Old Man Gou was lying in the house, so he was naturally smashed and it was very serious. Lin Yuchen, who was walking outside, was also implicated!

When Lin Yuchen, his guard, and followers saw Old Man Gou, how could they suspect that he was trying to murder them? This was an accident—and not a light one at that.

“Old Uncle Gou!” Li Yue shouted. He wanted to help Old Man Gou up but looked at Lin Yuchen in fear. Lin Yuchen covered his wound and called his followers, “Hurry and help the old man up!”

The officials and the village head went over to help Old Man Gou up, but the predestined fate could not be changed. It was already destined that today would be a nightmare. Old Man Gou’s body was already at the end of its rope. With a house like this collapsing, even young adults would be injured, let alone the seriously ill Old Man Gou…

Old Man Gou was helped up. His face was ashen as he looked at Lin Yuchen anxiously. He wanted to say something but did not say it. He panted heavily… and soon, he left.

Lin Yuchen did not even have the time to care about the injury on his forehead. He held his head and looked at this tragedy in silence.

Of course, Li Yue did not feel good, but this tragic accident coincidentally happened in front of the county magistrate… He was shocked and looked up at Lin Yuchen’s expression.

Lin Yuchen was silent for a moment. He asked the officials to help bury Old Man Gou. Of course, he did not mind that he was injured and even asked someone to resolve the situation.

Li Yue was secretly shocked… This County Magistrate Lin from Yuan City was so magnanimous and tolerant of the commoners?

When the second son saw Lin Yuchen, he did not want to approach him as he immediately felt that his luck was bad…

In the end, this happened.

The news that the county magistrate had come to the village had already spread throughout the entire village. The villagers in the mountains naturally shivered in fear and reverence toward the county magistrate. All of them came out trembling and wanted to kowtow to Lin Yuchen!

Fortunately, Lin Yuchen got someone to stop them.

The news of Lin Yuchen being smashed and Old Man Gou’s death in the village also spread. As a modern person, Ye Lulu did not fear the officials much and naturally did not go out to kowtow. When she heard about Lin Yuchen’s accident at home, she was shocked…

Oh, her second son had just despised the county magistrate so much and he immediately got unlucky?

Ye Lulu did not know about the second baby’s gift and only treated it as a joke. It was a coincidence. Perhaps babies were more sensitive. As the entire village was out, Ye Lulu did not want to stand out and carried her second son out the door.

What was even stranger this time was…

When the second son saw Lin Yuchen, he did not avoid him with all his might. Instead, he leaned in Ye Lulu’s arms and glanced at Lin Yuchen in disdain.

Then, he turned around again.

Lin Yuchen was speechless.

Lin Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he looked at this baby strangely. He was now certain that this child had some strange thoughts about him.

Guan Chibei watched from the side, his eyes dark.

Lin Yuchen’s wound was temporarily treated by his guard, Luo Xiu. He took Doctor Zheng’s medicine and treated Lin Yuchen briefly. It turned out that he knew some simple medical skills and was worried about Doctor Zheng outside. Luo Xiu’s expression was cold and he decided to treat Lin Yuchen himself.

Lin Yuchen cleaned up simply and insisted on investigating the matter about wild beasts leaving the mountain.

The village head, Li Yue, told Lin Yuchen about that night in detail and introduced Guan Chibei to Lin Yuchen. “That night, it was Guan Chibei who killed the wild beasts as he was skilled in archery. That was how the village was spared from greater disasters.”

“Oh?” Lin Yuchen looked at Guan Chibei.

He wanted to know which skilled archer was hidden in the mountains. Were there extraordinary people everywhere in the world? What was so special about this man in the mountains? Where did he get his skills from?

Lin Yuchen’s gaze was filled with admiration. It was a habit for people of extraordinary status to look at anyone outstanding in this manner.

Lin Yuchen was born into a noble family. It was not intentional, but it was a habit.

Guan Chibei was called over to show his face in front of the county magistrate.

He walked over calmly.

Lin Yuchen glanced at him and recognized that he was standing together with the woman carrying the child. When he found out that the baby was his, he was suddenly surprised and said to Guan Chibei:

“That person with superb archery who killed the wild beasts was you?”

“That beautiful child is yours too?”

Lin Yuchen sized Guan Chibei up with admiration in his eyes. “Your appearance is indeed outstanding. It’s not surprising that the child is yours.”

Faced with the county magistrate’s attitude, Guan Chibei only nodded calmly and did not show any surprise.

However, Lin Yuchen was interested in him. “Your archery skills are so extraordinary? Where did you learn this from? Who did you learn from? Or where did you practice your skills?”

“Clearly, from the way you killed the wild beasts, not only are your archery skills superb, but you can also go to the battlefield. Ordinary commoners rarely learn archery skills like this. Where did you learn this from?”

Lin Yuchen asked Guan Chibei curiously.

Li Yue’s expression changed as well. That’s right. How did Guan Chibei learn such a level of archery?

Guan Chibei said calmly, “I had been working outside the city for a long time previously in order to save money to prepare for my wife’s labor. During this time, I encountered a foreign merchant who taught me. I often went up the mountain to hunt and I learned this after practicing. However, it should be because of my gift as well. The person who taught me said that my first arrow hit the mark percectly.”
