Chapter 592 Preparations Before the Escape

When Lin Zhenshan appeared on the path in front of the house, the sharp-eyed Little Duck Egg jumped up immediately.

"Mother, Father is back! Father is back!"

Little Duck Egg ran towards Lin Zhenshan, who squatted down and hugged her.

"Duck Egg, have you been a good boy/girl today?"

"Daddy, I was a good boy. I even helped Mommy cook."

The villagers all say, "You don't want me anymore? I don't believe it."

I knew Father would come back.

Lin Zhenshan pinched the duck egg's little face.

"Our duck egg understands Dad best."

"Father loves duck eggs the most, how could he not come back?"

The little girl happily kissed Lin Zhenshan on the cheek.

Wang Guixiang also ran out of the door to greet Lin Zhenshan.

She clutched her clothes and said, "Dashan, you're back."

She was genuinely afraid that Lin Zhenshan would simply leave.

She was overjoyed that Lin Zhenshan was back.

Lin Zhenshan nodded, put his left arm around Wang Guixiang, and carried the little duck egg into the courtyard with his right hand.

Today's meal was quite plentiful, including a dish of wild mushrooms stewed with wild boar.

Even the little duck egg knew to serve meat to Lin Zhenshan.

"Daddy, eat meat, meat is delicious."

Lin Zhenshan also put a few pieces of meat on Xiaoyadan's plate.

"Duck eggs also eat meat, and eating meat helps them grow bigger."

Lin Zhenshan lent Wang Guixiang two more pieces of meat.

"Gui Xiang, have some too, we'll be busy tonight."

After a long day, Little Duck Egg was a bit tired and went to sleep after dinner.

Wang Guixiang sat there, fidgeting with her hands, looking somewhat nervous.

She was worried that Lin Zhenshan would ask her about her background.

Lin Zhenshan sat down next to Wang Guixiang.

He picked up Wang Guixiang and placed her on his lap.

"Gui Xiang, don't overthink what happened today."

I definitely won't abandon you two.

You saved my life, we've been together for so long, and now you're pregnant with my child.

No matter who I am, I will never abandon you and your child.

Wang Guixiang leaned on Lin Zhenshan's shoulder and cried softly.

"Waaah, Dashan, thank you."

But how are we going to get by?

The money I had saved for two years was taken away by the creditors.

All the money I earn in the future will belong to my creditors.

Are we, as a family, destined to be poor our whole lives?

"Being poor is one thing, but I'm afraid they'll make us pay with duck eggs."

Lin Zhenshan said, "Of course not."

What do you think I went out to do?

I lay in ambush on the road and killed the three creditors.

Lin Zhenshan threw the package on the bed, revealing more than two hundred taels of silver inside.

Wang Guixiang's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, almost gasping out in surprise.

“That creditor is someone important. If you kill him, you’ll definitely get into big trouble.”

“Even if we don’t kill him, we’ll still be in big trouble.”

Let's get out of here while we can still move.

I heard that a Martial God Hall has been established in the Sword Sect, and it takes special care of the common people.

The lives of the people there have improved.

Even on the road leading to the Sword Sect's territory, there were fewer wild beasts and thieves.

"We're not far from the Sword Sect's territory. Let's take Duck Egg and go live with them there."

Wang Guixiang said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Wherever you go, I'll go. I'm sticking with you for the rest of my life.

When are we leaving?"

"Leaving tonight."

"So urgent!"

"I can't help but be anxious; I've already asked around."

That creditor has connections with the city guards.

"The city guards might come storming in tomorrow morning."

Wang Guixiang said, "Then let's leave tonight."

Today I borrowed one tael of silver each from Brother Zhu and the village chief.

Lin Zhenshan said, "I will return the money right now."

Pack your things at home, just take some valuables, nothing else.

Lin Zhenshan walked to the door and said, "By the way, has that old woman Zhao given you trouble again?"

Wang Guixiang nodded. "Old Zhao's wife led the way by saying a few sarcastic things to me, but she didn't do anything else."

"Okay, I see."

Lin Zhenshan took his bow and arrows and went out.

He first went to the blacksmith Old Zhu's house.

Old Zhu, the blacksmith, had just finished eating and was cleaning up the dishes.

For dinner, he cooked himself two sweet potatoes.

Although Old Zhu was a blacksmith, he usually only did things like repairing hoes and mending iron pots, and didn't earn much money.

Lin Zhenshan walked over, and the blacksmith, Old Zhu, immediately smiled.

"Big Mountain, you've come."

I knew you wouldn't abandon Guixiang and her daughter and leave alone.

Lin Zhenshan said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, I'm here to return the money."

Today I went to town and sold some furs, and made quite a bit of money.”

Lin Zhenshan took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the blacksmith, Old Zhu.

"Brother Zhu, please take this silver."

You'd better find a wife quickly, so you can at least carry on the Zhu family line."

Old Zhu, the blacksmith, shook his head.

I don't care whether or not we leave our offspring.

He got married and had a child.

I have to work myself to the bone for my wife and kids.

It doesn't matter if it's tough or tiring; we're here to suffer.

But seeing his wife and children suffer alongside him is truly heartbreaking.

That's all the skill I have, and I'm not destined for wealth and status.

"I'm destined to be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

When the blacksmith, Old Zhu, saw the silver that Lin Zhenshan handed him, his pupils contracted.

He saw the silver he had lent to Wang Guixiang.

I've been playing with that piece of silver for a long time, and I can recognize it at a glance.

Wang Guixiang immediately gave the silver to the creditor.

Now this piece of silver has fallen into Lin Zhenshan's hands again.

The result is self-evident.

Old Zhu, the blacksmith, trembled slightly.

"I know that you and Guixiang are both good people, Brother Dashan, and neither of you wants to owe anyone anything."

I, Old Zhu, am the same; I only take my one or two taels of silver.

You should put the rest away quickly.

Brother Dashan, are you going on a long trip?

Lin Zhenshan smiled and nodded.

"From the first time I met you, Brother Dashan, I knew you were a man of courage and integrity."

Living in this little stone village, you'll inevitably face this day someday.

"You'll definitely take them with you when you leave, right?"

Lin Zhenshan nodded again, "Yes, I can never let go of them, mother and daughter, in this lifetime."

Old Zhu the blacksmith said with a smile, "Then you can spend a dozen or so taels of silver to buy Gou Shengzi's donkey cart at the east end of the village."

It's also convenient to travel by donkey cart.

Lin Zhenshan thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a good idea. Thank you, Brother Zhu."

Old Zhu the blacksmith said again, "You'd better head towards the Sword Sect."

I heard that the people there are living better lives now.

"That's what I meant."

"There's no time to lose, you should get ready right away."

Lin Zhenshan got up and left. As he walked to the courtyard gate, he turned back and said, "Brother Zhu, I will come to see you again in the future."

Old Zhu the blacksmith waved his hand, "Brother, I appreciate the thought, but I don't need it."

Once you leave, never come back.

After finishing his sentence, Old Zhu the blacksmith closed the courtyard gate tightly.

Of all the people in the village, he was the only one who got along well with Lin Zhenshan.

After Lin Zhenshan left, he had no one left to talk to.

......

Lin Zhenshan went out, intending to buy a donkey cart from Gou Shengzi's house.

He stopped in front of Old Zhao's house.

He planned to deal with this woman first.

That old Zhao woman is wicked; she deliberately bullies her daughter-in-law, Guixiang.

Gui Xiang said she didn't care, but she was definitely uncomfortable inside. She just didn't want to cause trouble.

Since I'm leaving anyway, I might as well take care of this old woman while I'm at it.

Lin Zhenshan sneaked into Old Zhao's wife's yard and heard noises coming from inside the house.

A young man's voice seemed to mention Wang Guixiang.

Old Zhao's wife's voice rang out, "If you're so capable, go find that Wang Guixiang."

The man added, "That Wang Dashan is a ruthless character. His eyes are terrifying. I wouldn't dare touch his woman."

If he really leaves, I'll go find Wang Guixiang.

Lin Zhenshan recognized the man's voice.

Isn't this Gou Shengzi from the east end of the village?

It seems we won't have to spend money to buy this donkey cart.

That old Zhao woman is really mean; even at this moment, she didn't forget to say a few words to Wang Guixiang.

The two inside were engrossed in their battle and paid no attention to Lin Zhenshan outside.

Lin Zhenshan moistened his finger with saliva and poked a hole in the window paper, through which he could see the two people inside the room.

He slowly drew two arrows from the quiver behind him.
