“I am more familiar with that area, and I hope there is a school where I can find a job and raise my grandson. But I am old and frail and have no strength to walk. My grandson is too young. I have stumbled all the way to this place, Thirty Li Pu, and all my savings over the years have been used up.”
"There are still many wildernesses between here and Jingnan, and I really dare not walk there by myself! So I can only stay here at Thirty Li Pu, planning to do odd jobs for others and save some divine coins. As long as I have enough for the cost of the journey, I will immediately head to Jingnan."
"But I'm useless. The boss is right. I can't lift anything with my hands or carry anything on my shoulders. I can't even make enough to live on."
"My poor grandson has been hungry for two days and is about to have to flee again. Even if we travel as fast as we can, it will take three to five days to get from here to Liusha City. How can I let him go on the road on an empty stomach!" The old man said, tears streaming down his face, and the divine soldier's expression also darkened.
"In the end, it's all because we're useless!" the divine weapon sighed.
"Sir, I'm not trying to be nosy, but how many families in the Divine Realm haven't lost someone these days? If you ask me, the old man's studying is a sin! He should have learned martial arts like his son and fought those demon bastards to the death. That would have been much more satisfying than him crying and begging for pity here."
“My husband was a fierce and valiant man who died in battle at Guangyuan Ferry thirteen years ago. I had to shoulder the burden of both the household and the outside world. My eldest son joined the army as soon as he was promoted to the rank of War God. If I had gone to school like him and become a delicate and timid young lady, my bones would probably have rotted away by now. How could I be here today?”
The female boss, however, stood aside and disdainfully criticized.
"My mother passed away a long time ago. Stop yelling at me like that and trying to take advantage of me!" Shenbing rolled his eyes at the female boss. "Both martial and literary skills are the decree of the God Lord. If you have any objections, go and raise them with the God Lord!"
"Old... what kind of deity am I looking for? I don't do business, who will feed me and give me drinks?" The female boss puffed out her chest, but she wasn't intimidated by any deity.
"Then save your breath and hurry up and feed this old man and his grandson. Use the remaining money to give them some dry food to take on their journey. There are still nearly a hundred miles of wasteland to Liusha City. Even with money, there's nowhere to find food." The divine soldier rolled his eyes at the female shopkeeper.
"You think you're so kind-hearted? The divine realm is ruined by people like you who have a conscience!" The female shopkeeper seemed quite unconvinced by the divine soldier's kindness towards the old man, but she didn't argue with him anymore. Instead, she grumbled and went back to work in the porridge stall.
The divine soldier helped the old man into the porridge stall. Wang Yao nodded slightly, then gently tossed a red thread in his hand. One end of the thread was quietly tied to the female boss's ankle. The other end then reached out slightly, about to wrap around the divine soldier's foot, but then stopped.
After listening for a while, it was still uncertain whether this divine weapon had a wife. If it were in the underworld, Wang Yao would just take her and that would be fine. But here, they were all people struggling to survive, and Wang Yao didn't want to force them to have a wife and add more spice to their suffering.
With a sudden thought, he abandoned the divine weapon at the other end of the red thread and quickly wrapped it around the old man's foot.
"Oh, sit down! I can't stand the way you scholars dawdle..."
The old man was still wiping away his tears and being polite to the divine soldier when the female boss brought over a bowl of porridge. She put the porridge on the table, reached out and pulled the old man down, intending to make him sit down quickly. However, the moment their bodies touched, their expressions instantly became extremely complicated.
"You..." The female boss glanced at the old man's grandson on the other side of the table. The child had already finished a bowl of thin porridge and two fried cakes, but he was still staring at the bowl of porridge in front of the old man with his big, hungry eyes.
"Give this bowl to your grandfather first. You've only been hungry for two days, but your grandfather might have been hungry for several more. I'll get you some more later." With that, the female shop owner hurriedly ran away, but the old man kept staring at her retreating figure, completely forgetting the thin porridge in front of him.
Since there was no system and no one notified Wang Yao that he had finally found another marriage, Wang Yao judged that the marriage was successful based on the faintly disappearing spiritual power in his body, the female boss's flustered expression, and the old man's rekindled longing for a new life.
With a thought, Wang Yao withdrew the red thread, his heart filled with mixed emotions. After so long, he could finally tie the knot again! So this is what "pulling and dragging" really means. Although he had consumed some spiritual energy as a result, his understanding of the red thread had become much deeper.
Then... what is the purpose of "pulling strings"? The other end of the red thread in his hand shot out rapidly, and the divine weapon beside the old man, who had inexplicably lost a marriage but was completely unaware, was instantly hit. However, after observing for a while, Wang Yao realized that "pulling strings" did not seem to have any effect on the divine weapon.
The divine soldier did not change his attitude as Wang Yao had expected, nor did he treat Wang Yao as his lifelong enemy and seek him out to fight to the death. His expression remained unchanged, still looking at the old man and child with pity, without even glancing at Wang Yao.
What's going on? Wang Yao's mind raced and he immediately thought of a possibility. After he obtained the system, the first system skills he mastered, besides being related to marriage, were "good people". Could this "rambling" be "good people"?
As soon as Wang Yao thought of this, the explanation of "rambling on and on" immediately came to mind.
"Banding up" and using red lines to create hostility, causing the target of the red line to feel a great increase in aversion to the host, to the point that they can no longer get along and are irreconcilable enemies.
Does "unable to get along, irreconcilable" mean that the other party cannot have any contact with him? Not even through divine power or spiritual power? Wang Yao frowned and pondered. In fact, he could guess some clues from the skill name "rambling".
