Chapter 4 [Connecting Two Bridges to the East and West]



The clue was simple and clear. Lin Han instructed the old village chief to manage the village affairs while he was away, and then left alone.

Lin Han was in Lujiang County, not far from Wan County, and could be reached in half a day by horseback riding.

Now Huang Rang has started an uprising in the southwest of Lujiang County, and chaos is spreading everywhere. Many refugees have left their homes to escape the war.

On the way, Lin Han saw many refugees and players who were in a hurry to complete their tasks, and they turned a blind eye to them.

This kind of thing was common in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

It’s about thirty miles southwest of Wan County, almost here.

Lin Han looked around. This was a desolate place with only refugees around. Every woman passing by was pale and thin and malnourished, not to mention the peerless beauties Daqiao and Xiaoqiao.

Suddenly, there was movement in front, and a team of carriages and horses came into Lin Han's sight. There were dozens of people in the team, which was very different from the fleeing civilians. It was obvious from their appearance that they were from a wealthy family.

There were also servants following the side of the caravan, distributing steamed buns to the passing refugees.

"Father-in-law, whose family is that of the convoy behind?" Lin Han dismounted and asked his father-in-law who was fleeing with his grandson on the side of the road.

"They are from the Qiao family. During the war in the southwest, despite their usual good deeds, the bandits targeted them, so they had to move away. I heard that my wife is about to give birth, and they still have to leave. It's really unfair."

"Okay, thank you, old man."

Lin Han took out some dry food from his backpack and handed it to his father-in-law.

Mr. Qiao, your wife is about to give birth, but Erqiao is not born yet. Lin Han was speechless for a moment. How can he give away the Bronze Sparrow Lock?

Want to cultivate a loli?

"Master, something bad has happened. The lady is about to give birth." An old lady hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and shouted at the carriage in front.

The team stopped immediately and the whole team became panicked. A midwife who followed the team was sent into the carriage, and the other servants built a fire and boiled water on the spot.

Lin Han saw this scene and his eyes rolled around.

"Father-in-law, can you sell me this beard?" Lin Han took out ten strings of cash.

"Okay, okay, okay."

The old man took the copper coin with surprise, and used the knife handed to him by Lin Han to cut off his beard and presented it to him respectfully. Fearing that Lin Han would regret it, he quickly left with his grandson.

Lin Han entered the forest for a while, and when he reappeared, he was an old man with a white beard. A piece of white cloth was hanging from a spear, with the words "Calculating the Secrets of Heaven" written on it.

He looks like an old charlatan.

While everyone in the Qiao family was in a hurry, Lin Han walked towards Qiao Gong slowly.

"Sir, are you Mr. Qiao?"

"Master?" A middle-aged man in his forties, who was anxiously waiting outside the carriage, looked Lin Han up and down. "What can I do for you, Master? Do you need any money?"

As he spoke, Mr. Qiao searched his body, wanting to give Lin Han some money.

"No, no, no, I am Tianjizi, who knows all the secrets of heaven. Today I came here for the immortal fate of Tianji." Lin Han said seriously.

"Heaven's secret?"

"Last night I dreamed of two phoenixes flying side by side, playing on the beams, and landing in a virtuous and kind family. Today I followed the scent of the phoenix and came here to meet Mr. Qiao. Seeing that your wife is about to give birth, I know that it is the reincarnation of the phoenix. I would like to wish Mr. Qiao the happiness of having two daughters." Lin Han touched his beard, looking very serious.

"Two? Daughters of gold?" Mr. Qiao was shocked and looked at the Taoist in front of him with disbelief.

"Yes, the two daughters." Lin Han stroked his beard confidently: "The two daughters are the fate of the phoenix, and they will definitely be invaluable in the future."

"Are you serious, sir?"

"Of course I take it seriously. It's absolutely true." Lin Han nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, crying was heard from inside the carriage, which made Qiao Gong, who was waiting anxiously, shiver.

Before he could be surprised, another cry was heard.

"Master, the lady has given birth to two daughters, both mother and daughter are safe."

The maid brought two swaddling clothes to Mr. Qiao, and saw that the two babies were looking at Lin Han and smiling. Their eyes were like black pearls, without any impurities, and they already had the potential to be beautiful.

"Good, great good."

Mr. Qiao had daughters in his old age, and they were worth two daughters. According to the Taoist priest, they were the reincarnation of a phoenix, priceless. He burst into tears at that time.

"The Taoist priest has the ability of an immortal."

"Mr. Qiao, there's no need to be polite. People who practice Taoism pay attention to the law of fate. Mr. Qiao is from a family that has accumulated good deeds, so he is naturally blessed. I am just trying to make a good connection with him."

Then, Lin Han took out two bronze sparrow locks from his backpack and handed them to Qiao Gong.

"This is the Bronze Sparrow Lock, a protective device. It connects two bridges, east and west, like magpies in the vast sky. Wear this lock with you for a long time, and the two daughters will be united in the future, turning misfortune into good fortune."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest."

The bridge master carefully took the bronze sparrow lock and placed it in the cradle of the big bridge and the small bridge.

As soon as the Bronze Sparrow Lock was put down, Erqiao grabbed the Bronze Sparrow Lock with her little hands and laughed at Qiao Gong, the sound of her laughter making people feel happy.

Seeing this, Mr. Qiao almost cried with joy and was extremely convinced of Lin Han.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the Tongquetai bond mission [Connecting the Two Bridges in the East and West]"
