"Actually, I'm already very content with the happiness I've had for the past few years. Why don't we go back?"
Shuxin was terrified, afraid that she would not be able to escape from the hellish place she had finally managed to escape from.
Her body was destined to be a burden, and her sister refused to give up on her.
Lin the Blind is a highly skilled person, but he is blind, and his apprentice is still a child...
Shuxin could no longer recall what her parents looked like, but she knew how despicable they were, and that if they dared to come back, they would never let them go.
Six years ago, she had been thinking of marrying them off to make money. If her sister hadn't helped her run away, she would have been married off long ago.
While alive, they'll be married off for money; and even after death, they might be arranged into a ghost marriage for money.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Those who have nothing to lose have nothing to fear. I have a way out, so don't worry. They'd love for us to go far away and never come back."
Shu Wan squeezed Shu Xin's hand and comforted her.
She dared to bring her younger sister back, so she must have been prepared for the worst.
She came prepared to either succeed or die.
Anyone who dares to stop her is her enemy; she has no scruples when she goes berserk.
"Let's go," Lin the Blind said calmly.
In his view, this was a trivial matter. His disciple had already overthrown the Ancient Jade Sect, so what was a small mountain village?
And he's not one to be trifled with either.
Besides, this old woman has a terrible temper.
This is a piece of cake.
Bai Meng squatted on Su Tiantian's shoulder, her eyelids fluttering open before closing again.
Shu Wan carried Shu Xin on her back and began to descend the mountain road into the village.
Su Tiantian held Lin the Blind's hand, reminding him from time to time to watch his step.
Bai Meng was very angry and kept hitting Lin Xiazi's hand with her claws, of course, when Su Tiantian couldn't see it.
Lin the Blind Man remained silent, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
What's the point of slapping this old woman twice? She wouldn't dare hurt herself anyway.
The path down the mountain was difficult, so they walked slowly until they finally reached flat ground, where they stopped to rest.
A village woman passing by saw Shuxin and Shuwan and exclaimed in surprise, "You two, you must be Wang's eldest daughter and second daughter! You haven't been back for so many years, and you've grown even more beautiful."
Shu Wan and Shu Xin's surname is Wang. Wang Daya and Wang Erya were their former names.
Upon hearing this long-standing name, both Shu Wan and Shu Xin remained calm.
"Do you still remember me? I'm your Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang smiled and sized up Shu Wan and Shu Xin, not caring that they looked indifferent. She then looked at Blind Lin and Su Tiantian and asked, "Who are these two to you?"
Shu Wan remained silent, as did Shu Xin.
Lin the Blind and Su Tiantian remained silent.
Aunt Zhang, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, said with a smile, "Your parents don't know you're back yet. I'll go tell them; they'll be overjoyed."
After saying that, Aunt Zhang walked away quickly.
Shu Xin glanced at Shu Wan, her lips turning pale with nervousness.
"Don't worry, it's good for them to know. They were going to come back to find them anyway."
Shu Wan patted Shu Xin's hand and said.
Lin the Blind looked around, his brows furrowing slightly. Though he couldn't see, his senses were sharper. Something was off about this village; the air was thick with yin energy.
Even in broad daylight, it feels extremely cold and damp.
This place must be quite cold and damp even in the height of summer.
It's winter now. Y City has four distinct seasons. It gets very cold in winter when it snows, frosts, and freezes. It gets even colder when the yin energy is strong.
Lin the Blind looked at Shu Wan and asked, "In your memory, did many people die in your village before? Or were there any people who died abnormally, or any strange things that happened?"
"Never heard of it."
Shu Wan shook her head.
She didn't know why Blind Lin asked that question. She thought about it and really couldn't remember. Maybe it was because she was young and there were some things she couldn't understand.
Lin the Blind didn't ask any more questions, but simply said, "Let's go, let's go to your house to rest first."
Traveling by car is tiring, so whatever strange things happen, we'll deal with them later.
Some evil spirits, nourished by yin energy, take decades to emerge, and one may not necessarily encounter them.
Shu Wan carried Shu Xin on her back and led the way.
Su Tiantian led Lin the Blind Man behind them.
As they passed by, many people stared at them.
After they walked away, people whispered among themselves.
"Wang Jia's eldest daughter actually married an old man and gave birth to such a big girl. It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Wang Gui and Niu Juanhua are definitely going to be furious..."
"This old man is blind, he'll probably get beaten to a pulp by those two and all his teeth will fall out..."
"She couldn't make it outside and wanted to come back. The Wang family is in for a good show. That old man's plan is going to fail. This little girl is fair-skinned and cute. If she's sold outside and a rich family takes a liking to her, she could fetch a lot of money..."
Shu Wan and Shu Xin couldn't hear these words.
But Lin the Blind, Su Tiantian, and Bai Meng all heard it.
Blind Lin frowned. These gossipy women!
Bai Meng jumped off Su Tiantian. Compared to this incompetent blind woman, she could do many things.
She had only been gone a short while when screams erupted throughout the village.
"Ah—a snake—"
"Oh no, a five-step snake—"
Startled by the venomous snake, they had no time to gossip behind people's backs.
Bai Meng quickly jumped back onto Su Tiantian's shoulder and continued to hit Lin the Blind.
While Bai Meng was playing with great enthusiasm.
A man and a woman came running over, shouting.
"Da Ya, Er Ya, it really is you!"
"You're back! I thought Aunt Zhang was lying to me. It really is my daughter who's back."
Niu Chunhua didn't believe it at first. If her two daughters could leave so resolutely for so many years without a word, they definitely wouldn't come back.
But I didn't expect them to come back. This is wonderful! I was just worried that my son didn't have enough money to get married.
Thank God, her son Yaozu is just lucky. God will not let him remain a bachelor. Even when he is broke, God will automatically send him money.
"Chunhua, I told you I wasn't lying, these are your Da Ya and Er Ya. You two are really lucky now."
Aunt Zhang smiled broadly, knowing that she, as the messenger, might even reap some benefits later.
"Thank you. I'll invite you to my wedding banquet another day, and I'll ask your grandson to roll around on my son's wedding bed."
Niu Chunhua said with a smile, "Now that my two daughters are back, my son's marriage is a done deal."
Aunt Zhang has a grandson, so she'd be willing to let him sleep with her in bed with her.
"Alright, alright, then I'll wait to attend the wedding banquet. I'll go home first and teach my grandson to say auspicious words to bring you good luck. I guarantee your daughter-in-law will give birth to boys every time!"
Aunt Zhang was all smiles as she went home, beaming with joy.
As soon as Aunt Zhang left, Wang Gui and Niu Chunhua immediately went to take the things Shuxin was carrying.
"Here, Mom and Dad will help you carry it."
Niu Chunhua laughed as she said she wanted to take Lin the Blind's backpack, while reaching out to pinch Su Tiantian's cheek, saying with disdain, "Why raise a girl so well? So much good food for her, what a waste... ah—"
