Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 547 Gains and Losses
Fang Yilin's house is in a relatively remote place in the east of the town. There is a river with a width of three or four feet more than twenty feet away from her house. The river is not shallow and the current is fast.

It was this river that took the life of Fang Yilin's father and became the source of her miserable life.

There is a suspension bridge over the river, and across the bridge is a rather large forest, in which there are many cicadas, which sing continuously every day, so it is named "Cicada Singing Forest".

Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing followed Fang Yilin through the streets and alleys. After a few minutes, they finally arrived at their destination. This was the edge of the town, and it was relatively quiet with few people coming.

Fang Yilin's home is very simple, with two thatched-roofed wooden houses at the front and back, and a small courtyard less than ten square meters in the middle.

There is a vegetable field on the left side of the small courtyard, where some vegetables are planted, and on the right side is a hut and a chicken coop. There is only one half-sized rooster and two laying hens in the hen coop.

Fang Yilin's mother, Mrs. Fang, earns a meager income by helping people wash clothes and sewing.

She is less than 30 years old, which is the most prosperous time in a woman's life in future generations. From Fang Yilin's appearance, it can be seen that she is not bad at all.

But the hard life in this era made her look ten years older than her actual age, with a rigid and mean face.

At this time, she was washing the sheets and quilt covers in the yard, repeatedly beating with a hammer to hammer out the dirt inside, when she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, her face sank suddenly, and she looked up at the front door and the back door.

Sure enough, Fang Yilin quickly walked out of the house, and just as she called out "Mom", before she could say anything else, Mrs. Fang yelled angrily: "You short-lived ghost knows how to play all day long. How long has it been since you went to buy some salt? Why didn’t you die outside?”

Fang Yilin clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with her hands, bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and hung her head in silence. When Mrs. Fang got angry, she didn't dare to speak, let alone argue.

But Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing who were waiting in the front room were very dissatisfied. They had never seen a mother cursing their daughter with such vicious words.

Just now, after they followed Fang Yilin into the house, Fang Yilin asked them to sit down for a while, and went to the back room to call her mother. Who knew that they heard such words that made them feel very uncomfortable, and the two of them got up together at the same time. , go to the backyard.

After cursing a few words, Sister-in-Law Fang saw that Fang Yilin was empty-handed and the salt she asked her to buy was gone, she couldn't help but glared and asked, "Where's the salt you bought?"

"I... I haven't bought it yet." Fang Yilin originally went out to buy salt, but they met Ergou and the others on the street, and they surrounded Fang Yilin as soon as they saw her.

Fang Yilin had no choice but to run away, but Ergou and the others were relentless, chasing and intercepting her, and finally got trapped not far from the tailor's shop. If it wasn't for Luo Changfeng, she wouldn't be able to escape now.

When Sister-in-law Fang heard Fang Yilin's words, she couldn't help becoming even more angry. She stood up abruptly and raised her hammer to beat Fang Yilin, "You useless thing, what can I expect from you? I'll beat you to death... ..."

"Qiang..."

"pat"

After a crisp sound of gold and iron rubbing against each other, Mrs. Fang felt light in her hand, and the upper half of the hammering stick broke out of thin air and fell to the ground. Mrs. Fang was stunned, and Fang Yilin was also stunned.

Fang Yilin suddenly turned around, and saw Ah Qing standing there with a sullen face in front of the front house and the back door. The gorgeous long sword had been unsheathed, and she was holding it in her slender and slender hand, pointing obliquely to the right. It is filled with mysterious and noble purple air.

Luo Changfeng stood on her left, also frowning, with a worried expression on his face.

Sister-in-law Fang looked at the half hammered stick in her hand, and was stunned for a moment, then looked at the door, her pupils shrank suddenly, and subconsciously threw away half of the hammered stick, she took a few steps back, and trembled in horror: "You... who are you? What do you want to do?"

At this time, Ah Qing was more than ten feet away from her. Even though she was just a village woman who didn't understand anything, she knew that the ones who could cut through the hammer stick with a single sword were definitely not the ordinary Lianjiazi in the town, but Is a real martial arts master.

Ah Qing put the sword back into its sheath silently, stepped forward a few steps, pulled Fang Yilin to her side, embraced her in her arms, and caressed her shoulders.

Fang Yilin felt an unprecedented sense of maternal love and security in Ah Qing's arms. Ah Qing's gentle movements made her grievances accumulated over the years burst out, and she burst into tears.

It is precisely because she has suffered countless grievances that she longs for the hero to save her. Fortunately, she waited.

Luo Changfeng took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice, "Is this how you become a mother?"

Sister-in-law Fang involuntarily took another two steps back, her lips trembling, but she didn't know what to say. Ever since her husband died to save Fang Yilin, she had always held a grudge against her daughter in her heart, so she naturally didn't have a good face towards her.

It's not that she didn't know that the residents of the town privately said that Fang Yilin was a bastard, but she didn't refute it, because even she thought so.

But looking at the situation now, this short-lived ghost has a relationship with a martial arts master and has a backing.

Hmph, so what if you have a backer?These so-called knights of the rivers and lakes are just self-proclaimed justice and meddling in other people's affairs. In the end, they will leave. At that time, I will see who else can stand up for you.

Unexpectedly, Luo Changfeng's next sentence surprised her inexplicably.

"Originally, I wanted to tell you carefully, and I will take care of you more for Yilin's sake in the future, but now it seems that it is unnecessary."

Luo Changfeng reached into his bosom, took out a few ingots of gold, and threw them at Mrs. Fang's feet, saying, "Yilin has decided to learn martial arts with us. You won't be able to earn this money in ten lifetimes. Just treat it as me." Repaid your kindness of upbringing for her."

After speaking, he turned around and left the yard, as if he didn't want to see Mrs. Fang again.

Ah Qing stroked Fang Yilin's hair, and said softly, "Yilin, let's go!"

Fang Yilin left Ah Qing's embrace, wiped away her tears, and looked at Mrs. Fang, only to see that she was staring at the gold on the ground, and the last trace of hope in her eyes disappeared.

Fang Yilin knelt down facing Sister-in-law Fang, kowtowed twice, and said flatly, "Mother, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

After speaking, he got up, turned around, took Ah Qing's hand, and walked away without a trace of nostalgia.

Sister-in-law Fang finally raised her head and looked at Fang Yilin's back. What she thought in her heart was that her daughter belonged to someone else after all. Even if she was raised until she was 16 and married off, she would not be able to get so much dowry.

Now that she is favored by martial arts masters and accepted as his disciple, but she gets so much money, this is the best result for both her and Fang Yilin.

This is the so-called woman's opinion, she still didn't understand what she lost after getting the money that she couldn't earn in ten lifetimes.

In the eyes of some people, there may be no such thing as kinship, but in the eyes of others, kinship is a priceless treasure that no amount of money can buy.

It's just that Mrs. Fang or Fang Yilin doesn't have much family affection at all, and she can get so much money with something she doesn't have. From Mrs. Fang's point of view, she has indeed made a lot of money.
