Chapter 591 Lin Zhenshan ambushes them halfway
Wang Guixiang and her daughter went back to cook, waiting for Lin Zhenshan to come home.
……
After leaving the village, Lin Zhenshan circled around and went to scout out the location on the main road to the east of the village.
He has difficulty walking, and if he doesn't come out in advance to ambush them, he might not be able to catch up with the three creditors.
Finally, he stopped on an uphill section of the road.
This location offers a commanding view, making it ideal for an ambush.
Shooting arrows downhill is less strenuous and more accurate.
Moreover, the area below the slope is all grassland, with no cover to hide in.
Lin Zhenshan found some vines, branches, and grass leaves to make a headband and wore it on his head. He also stuck some branches into his body to disguise himself.
He squatted on the hillside by the roadside, and several groups of people passed by without seeing him.
He chatted briefly with Wang Guixiang's creditors.
I knew that the creditor was no kind person and would never let the matter rest.
This money was owed by Wang Guixiang's ex-husband, so Wang Guixiang shouldn't have to pay it back.
When the creditor was at his house, he would occasionally glance at the little duck egg.
Lin Zhenshan is also a person who has experienced many ups and downs.
Lin Zhenshan knew these loan sharks in the countryside all too well.
He had already realized it.
Even if the family pays the interest on time, the creditor will not let it go.
When the ducklings grow up, the creditor will definitely make them pay off the debt.
If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.
This matter cannot be delayed. If I get too old to draw the bow, my family will be at the mercy of others.
Let's take advantage of this and resolve this matter now.
At worst, we can take Wang Guixiang and her daughter and run away together.
Although Lin Zhenshan's leg has become lame over the years, his family's six-shot hunting bow technique has made breakthroughs.
He has mastered the Six-Shot Hunting Bow technique, firing four arrows at a time, all of which accurately hit their targets.
He ate some dried meat, took out his water bag, drank some water, and then sat on the hillside waiting.
He figured the three creditors wouldn't leave until dusk.
......
Sure enough, it was dusk.
The three creditors swayed and walked over from a distance.
Lin Zhenshan glanced at the three men and confirmed that they were the three creditors who had come to his house.
Then, Lin Zhenshan suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and only glanced at the three of them out of the corner of his eye.
The number of animals that died at Lin Zhenshan's hands must be at least eight or ten thousand.
Lin Zhenshan's eyes held a murderous intent; if he stared at someone for a long time, the person being stared at would definitely feel their scalp tingle.
Fearing that the other party would notice beforehand, he tried his best to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes and only glanced at the three of them out of the corner of his eye.
When the three men walked to within forty paces of him.
Lin Zhenshan drew four arrows from the quiver behind him, nocked them on the bowstring, and drew the bow and shot the arrows in one smooth motion.
Whoosh! Four arrows shot straight toward the three of them.
The two arrows were aimed at the hearts of the two bodyguards.
The other two arrows, one aimed at the creditor's heart and the other at his dantian.
When hunting, Lin Zhenshan would shoot the eyes in order to get a complete pelt.
However, this time it wasn't a hunting trip, and the other party was skilled in martial arts.
Lin Zhenshan sought to avoid mistakes rather than achieve merit, and thus chose a rather conservative position.
At such close range, even if the enemy manages to avoid the vital point in their heart, they will inevitably be hit elsewhere by the arrow.
Once the enemy is hit by an arrow, victory is assured.
The bodyguard on the creditor's left heard the sound of the bowstring being plucked and his expression changed.
He shouted, "Watch out! Someone's shooting at us from the shadows!"
As he shouted, he also shoved the creditor next to him.
Those who come to the countryside to bully old farmers are not exactly experts.
Although the group sensed the approaching arrows beforehand, they were unable to dodge them.
Puff puff puff puff.
The sound of arrows piercing flesh rang out; all four arrows hit their mark.
The arrow that Lin Zhenshan shot was very powerful.
The bodyguard who was pushing the debtor was shot through the lung, with half of the arrow protruding from his back.
Another bodyguard was shot through the heart and died instantly.
With a whoosh, Lin Zhenshan fired another arrow, killing the bodyguard who had pushed the man.
The creditor lay on the ground shouting, "Hero, spare my life! I have money!"
"As long as you spare my life, no amount of silver is a problem."
Lin Zhenshan emerged from his hiding place.
The creditor was surprised to see that the person who came was Wang Guixiang's husband.
He quickly said, "So it's Brother Wang. Let's talk this out."
I don't want the money Wang Guixiang owes me.
I'll return the interest I received today to you, and I'll give you an additional twenty taels.
Brother Wang, you're so magnanimous, please forgive me this time.
"If you let me go, you'll be my brother from now on."
A cold smile appeared on Lin Zhenshan's face.
"If you don't drive our family to the brink of despair..."
I wouldn't resort to such a drastic measure.
If you want to live, then tell me where you came from.
If you have some powerful background, I might spare your life.
The man poured out his story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
This person's brother-in-law was actually a general in the city guard.
Compared to ordinary farmers, his connections were incredibly powerful.
Lin Zhenshan said, "Given your status..."
Why are you so fixated on these few taels of silver from my family?
The creditor told the truth.
Brother Wang, you don't know this.
We loan sharks target honest, simple people like your family.
Your family doesn't owe me much money.
But there are thousands of farmers like you who owe me money.
In the past, I would never have gone to the countryside myself.
On a whim today, I decided to go to the countryside for a visit.
I never expected to run into you, Brother Wang.
I also have the surname Wang, so we're from the same clan.
This is truly a case of "the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple," meaning that even family members no longer recognize each other.
Lin Zhenshan thought to himself that he might not actually be surnamed Wang.
Wang Dashan is just the name of Wang Guixiang's ex-husband.
Lin Zhenshan nocked an arrow onto the large bow.
The creditor was so frightened that he wet his pants. He waved his hands and kicked his legs hard on the ground.
"Brother Wang, please don't do this."
Soon I'll have an eighty-year-old mother, and children...
Lin Zhenshan interrupted him.
"Don't you like collecting debts?"
"Then go down there and find that old Wang Dashan to collect your debts."
With a whoosh, Lin Zhenshan shot an arrow that pierced the forehead of the mustachioed creditor.
The creditor lay on the ground with his eyes open.
Lin Zhenshan dragged the three men to the woods by the roadside and cleaned up the bloodstains on the road.
He searched the three men.
The mustachioed creditor actually had over two hundred taels of silver on him. This guy was really a miser; even on his deathbed, he was only willing to give himself twenty more taels.
In truth, no matter how much silver he was willing to give Lin Zhenshan, he was destined to die.
Lin Zhenshan asked about his background only to handle the aftermath based on it.
From the moment Lin Zhenshan fired the first arrow, it was already a dead end.
Under no circumstances should the three creditors be let go, otherwise the city guards will come to the village tonight.
Lin Zhenshan then searched the two bodyguards.
Only five taels of silver were found on the two bodyguards.
Lin Zhenshan sighed.
"Is it worth risking your life for such a small amount of money?"
Lin Zhenshan carefully pocketed the silver, then circled around again and arrived at the west end of the village.
He planned to enter the village from the west end to go home.
……
At Wang Guixiang's home, the food had already been reheated twice.
The little duck refused to eat first; she sat at the gate of the courtyard, insisting on waiting for her father to come back so they could eat together.
