90.

"Lad, how did you fall into that water?" Lin Jin asked.

Chu Ming stared blankly for a moment before recalling what happened before he fell into the water. He couldn't help but reveal an ugly and pained expression.

Seeing this, Lin Jin knew that Chu Ming must have experienced a lot of things, so he laughed, "Forget it, you also have something that you don't want to say. Uncle, I, in the past, also had a lot of things that made me feel uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, I am still alive, so even if I don't live for myself, I must live for someone important. "Look at me, now that I'm working during the day and have come back at night, I'm extremely happy. What can be better than this?"

When Chu Ming heard this, he looked at the sloppy middle-aged man in front of him. It could be seen that his face was filled with vicissitudes of life. From top to bottom, he looked like an old hand.

Chu Ming asked, "Has Uncle Lin ever encountered anything that makes you wish you were dead?"

He stretched out three fingers and said, "I experienced three things in my life that made me wish I was dead, but in the end, I still survived. At that time, I thought that God had abandoned me, but the truth is that God was just too harsh on me.

"Is it really good to be alive?" Chu Ming smiled helplessly and said, "I don't feel that way right now." I don't know who my parents are, and they caused the death of many of the people I loved and loved.

When Lin Jin heard this, he sat down and patted Chu Ming's shoulder, "Young man, the rainbow will only appear after the rain and wind is over, the worms will become a butterfly after being cocooned, and life will only truly grow after experiencing many things. When you are the same age as me, you can proudly tell your son, your father, I did not live in vain, and when I am a hundred years old, I can also tell my grandson that I live in glory."

Chu Ming looked at Lin Jin who seemed to be very reasonable. It didn't matter if what he said was true or not, to Chu Ming's current feelings, it was a very effective consolation.

Lin Jin paused for a moment and continued, "From the looks of it, you are also someone who roamed the Jianghu, right? I, Uncle Lin, know all the hardships and sorrows that come with us in the martial arts world, so I won't advise you to do anything right now. However, if you ever feel that you want to lead an ordinary life, you can come to this Haikou Village to live as if you are a normal person.

Chu Ming nodded his head and said, "Actually, I've always liked the lives of common people since I was young. But in this world, I don't commit crimes, and people do offend me. I have no choice but to walk another path that I loathe."

"It's impossible for life to be a flat road. There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that something bad will happen." Lin Jin stood up and patted his butt. "So, you have to learn to overcome it. That is the goal of living alone in this world."

Chu Ming was silent.

Lin Jin looked at Chu Ming's sword again and said, "This sword is not simple at all."

"Do you know?" Chu Ming looked at this old man who was dressed like a peasant and looked a little surprised.

Lin Jin waved his hand and said, "It's just that its shape is a bit strange. I've seen it before, swords don't look like swords, and they don't have sharp points."

Chu Ming turned around and said, "En."

Lin Jin said with a smile, "Aren't you hungry after talking so much, young man?" Come out for dinner. "

Chu Ming waved his hand and said, "Just now, I ate some porridge."

"What's so good about the porridge being drained of all the water after soaking in it?" Lin Jin pointed outside and said, "Do you smell something? Although my daughter is not a chef, her cooking skills are not bad. Today's cooking was very sumptuous, so it's good to pay for it."

Chu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "There's really no need for that. I'm full, so I can't eat."

"Why are you blabbering so much?" Lin Jin pulled Chu Ming up and supported him on his back. As they walked, he said, "Man man, if you eat that little bit of porridge, you'll be full. You'll make people laugh."

Chu Ming was helpless and could only be pulled out.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Lin Jin put down Chu Ming. Chu Ming also sat down quietly, but he couldn't muster up all his strength. His sitting posture was also a bit strange as he half leaned on the table.

When Lin Xue'er saw Chu Ming, she snorted and said, "How could some people be willing to come and eat? I didn't seem to be too happy when I sent something in just now!"

When Chu Ming heard this, he could only smile bitterly in embarrassment.

Lin Jin rolled his eyes at Lin Xue'er and said, "You little girl, you're the only one who can talk so much!"

"Why did I say too much?" Lin Xue'er pointed at Chu Ming and said, "Don't you see how fierce he was just now? He seemed to view me as an enemy, don't you think so?"

Chu Ming felt his scalp tingle. He was indeed being rude just now when he acted on impulse.

Liu Shui pulled Xue'er and said, "You child, you're really rude. Hurry and apologize!"

"Apologize?" Lin Xue'er was somewhat unwilling and said, "He should apologize to me, right?"

When Chu Ming heard this, he could only endure the pain and forced himself to stand up. He bowed towards Lin Xue'er and almost fell down, saying, "Please forgive me, Miss Lin. It was Chu Ming's fault. I was too rude earlier."

When Lin Xue'er saw Chu Ming's funny expression, she laughed, "You, by yourself, are truly a little crazy."

Lin Jin said somewhat angrily, "You little girl, how can you say that!"

"That's what I said. If someone does not offend me, I will not offend them. If someone offends me, I will pay them back double." Lin Xue'er was extremely stubborn.

Liu Shui quickly apologized to Chu Ming, "Little bro, don't mind me. I'm too used to this baby, it's just this bad temper of mine."

Chu Ming gave an embarrassed smile and said, "It's fine, it's my fault anyway. I should have let Miss Lin scold me."

"You man!" Hearing that, Lin Xue'er became a bit angry: "Do you like being scolded? "No manliness at all, hmph!"

Chu Ming wasn't a person, so he could only shut his mouth.

Lin Jin was furious. "Xue'er, if you keep making trouble here, I won't be polite anymore!"

When Lin Xue'er heard this, she coldly snorted and sat down. She scooped a bowl of rice for Er Wazi, then another for Lin Jin and Liu Shuishui. She ignored Chu Ming and placed an empty bowl in front of him.

Er Wazi was very confused.

Lin Jin slapped the table and said, "Are you done yet?"

Lin Xue'er angrily said, "What am I doing!?"

"Why didn't you serve Chu Ming a bowl!" Lin Jin said angrily.

"He doesn't know how to flourish!" Lin Xue'er was not to be outdone.

Chu Ming saw that the couple was about to start a fight over him, so he quickly said: "I can enjoy the meal by myself, Uncle Lin don't blame Miss Lin."

Lin Jin rolled his eyes at Lin Xue'er before turning back to Chu Ming, "I'll apologize to you on behalf of my daughter. Young man, don't take it to heart."

"Not at all." Chu Ming smiled and then picked up the bowl. Just as he was about to fill the rice bucket with the rice, his arm suddenly lost all of its strength and the bowl fell to the ground with a 'peng' sound, breaking into several pieces.

When Lin Xue'er saw this, she frowned and said, "You did it on purpose!"

Chu Ming immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lin Jin immediately ran over and said to Chu Ming, "Let me help you serve it."

As he spoke, he took a new bowl and helped Chu Ming scoop up the rice and put it in front of Chu Ming.

Lin Xue'er turned her head away and ate her own food.

Liu Shuishui was also a bit angry. She nudged Lin Xue'er and whispered, "What happened to you? Be a bit more polite."

"Hmph."

Chu Ming embarrassedly picked up his chopsticks and stirred the rice. The rice didn't move at all. Chu Ming pushed with all his might and finally stirred up the rice. However, due to using too much strength, he spilled a pinch of rice onto Lin Xue'er's face.

Chu Ming immediately felt his scalp tingle.

Lin Xue'er slammed the table, wiped the rice off her face and looked angrily at Chu Ming.

Lin Jin acted like a peacemaker again and said, "Xue'er, Chu Ming didn't do it on purpose, don't look for trouble!"

Lin Xue'er gritted her teeth in anger. Finally, she glared at Chu Ming and threw her chopsticks and said, "I'm full!"

Then he quickly left the table and entered the room, slamming the door shut.

Chu Ming was dumbfounded.

Lin Jin didn't know what to say. This kind of scene was suffocating.

Chu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm full too, so I'll be leaving first. I'm sorry."

Liu He said, "Don't. You haven't eaten anything yet."

Chu Ming waved his hand and used all the strength he had in his body to stand up. Then, he slowly walked back to his room.
