693 The Sword Is Really My Life (3)
“The Confucian Dao on our Jinnan Star is prosperous and its prosperity is on par with the Immortal Source World, but it’s too far away from here. Its inheritance can’t flourish here.
“This sword cultivator cultivates Confucianism. It’s a good idea.
“If it really succeeds, the Confucian Dao inheritance of our Jinnan Star will definitely be able to sweep through the myriad worlds.
The old man whispered, and the child nodded, not fully understanding.
The driver of the cart in front had a fanatical look on his face. He swung his bullwhip and the bullock-cart sped away.
Zeng Daniu identified the direction by the side of the road and ran excitedly with the new bedding and those big and small items.
After running for seven to eight miles, he saw the shadow of an inlet in front of him. The smoke from the water stronghold rose, and he took a deep breath.
His face was full of smiles.
After resting for a while, he quietly reached out and pinched the corner of his shirt.
The hard spiritual pearl was still there.
Spiritual pearl!
With this spiritual pearl, his entire family would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
When he returned, he would hand the spiritual pearl to his wife and ask her to find a bigger village. The entire family would move there.
The two children had to be nurtured well. Even if they could not become cultivators, they had to be literate and become servants of cultivators.
It would be even better if they grew up and took over as servants for his shopkeeper when he was old.
Zeng Daniu knew that the shopkeeper was a great immortal and a cultivator. He had a long lifespan. He, his own children, and his children’s children might help the shopkeeper as servants.
As long as the shopkeeper was willing to accept them.
When he thought of this, Zeng Daniu stood up impatiently.
Carrying the blanket, he ran out of the water village.
However, the children who usually played outside the water village were nowhere to be seen.
This was a little strange.
When he walked towards the water village, he did not see anyone on the way.
He was a little flustered.
He quickly ran into the water village and finally saw someone in front of his low wooden house.
There was some noise ahead.
“Daniu!”
Someone exclaimed.
Some of the people in front turned around and hurriedly called out, “Daniu!”
“Daniu is back!”
Zeng Daniu grinned and tightened the blanket on his back.
“Daniu, your father-in-law wants to bring your wife back. Hurry up and take a look!”
Someone shouted.
Pull my wife back?
At first, Zeng Daniu did not understand. After taking a few steps, he was suddenly stunned.
His expression changed and he quickly ran forward.
When the people in front saw him coming, they made way for him.
When they arrived at the short wooden house, Zeng Daniu could already hear his two children crying.
“Father, if you want to take me away, let me take Shitou and Qingshui with me.”
“Bring them along? Sis, how are you going to get married with these two burdens?”
A conversation came from the wooden house.
Zeng Daniu rushed into the wooden house and sighed when he saw his old parents sitting by the stove.
The two children tugged at his wifes’ clothes and cried loudly.
The woman sitting on the edge of the bed hugged the two children with one hand and wiped her tears with the other.
His father-in-law sat beside the broken table at home while his brother-in-law stood beside his wife and reached out to push the two children.
When Zeng Daniu returned, everyone in the room was stunned.
Zeng Daniu took a step forward and threw the bedding and those items onto the bed. He grabbed the collar of his stunned brother-in-law and slapped him twice.
“Bam!”
“Bam!”
After slapping his mouth, he kicked his brother-in-law to the ground. Then he clenched his fists and stared.
“Do you think I’m dead?”
Over the past few days in the Imperial View Sword Shop, Zeng Daniu had been eating and drinking well, and he had developed a lot of strength.
In addition, he seemed to have become much stronger after cultivating with Shao Tianyi although he hadn’t succeeded in learning.
The two slaps stunned his brother-in-law. Another kick almost crippled him.
Zeng Daniu clenched his fists and growled. His brother-in-law grimaced with pain as he wailed, “You, aren’t you dead?”
Hearing his words, Zeng Daniu was furious. He stepped forward and punched his brother-in-law’s shoulder, causing him to roll around.
Zeng Daniu threw two more punches. His brother-in-law held his head and screamed miserably on the ground.
“Um, you, don’t…” His father-in-law, who was sitting at the table, came forward to pull him back, but he was flung away by Zeng Daniu and fell to the ground.
Zeng Daniu raised his fist. Behind him, his wife exclaimed, “Daniu, that’s my father—”
When Zeng Daniu heard this, he punched the wooden table beside him.
“Bang!”
The wooden table shattered into pieces.
This punch reduced his anger a little.
“Oh my, even if you’re angry, you can’t vent it on things…” Daniu’s father, who was beside the stove, muttered shakily.
Outside the house, the neighbors in the water village quickly dispersed and stood where they were, discussing in low voices.
Previously, Zeng Daniu had arrived in a hurry, so no one paid much attention to him. Now that they were discussing, they realized that something was wrong.
Zeng Daniu’s strength had increased.
The material of Zeng Daniu’s clothes was excellent.
When Zeng Daniu returned, he was carrying a new blanket.
…
In the room, Zeng Daniu sat on a wooden stool with half of its legs broken. He glared fiercely at his father-in-law and brother-in-Law who couldn’t get up.
“Tell me clearly what happened today.
“If you don’t make it clear, you won’t be able to leave this door today.”
He had been in the sword shop for half a month, and his aura was no longer that of a fisherman.
When he sat there and shouted fiercely, his brother-in-law and father-in-Law trembled.
“Brother-in-law, Brother-in-Law, I-I’m doing this for my sister’s own good…” The brother-in- law, whose face was swollen on both sides, said in fear.
“Bah, now you know that you have a brother-in-law like me?” Daniu shouted. “Didn’t you just say that I was dead?”
The brother-in-law shrank back and said in a low voice, “Yes, it’s a letter from Cao Erwa in your village…”
The matter was very simple. Someone had seen what happened when Zeng Daniu met the cultivator that day.
After Zeng Daniu left, there were rumors in the stronghold that he was going to be sacrificed.
The two elders of the Zeng family only knew how to wipe their tears. Zeng Daniu’s wife was capable of managing things, but the entire family had made her unable to deal with the rumors.
The more rumors spread in the stronghold, the more true they became. Then everyone said that Zeng Daniu was already dead.
Cao Erwa had ulterior motives towards Zeng Daniu’s wife, so he went to Zeng Daniu’s in-laws’ house in the neighboring village to report.
Unexpectedly, this matter spread in the neighboring village. The youngest son of the Head Fisherman’s family came to propose marriage, saying that he did not mind that Cao Daniu’s wife was a widow. He even said that he would give her a thousand jade shells as a betrothal gift.
One thousand jade shells was enough for Zeng Daniu’s brother-in-law to get married.
“You were going to sell your sister for a thousand jade shells?” Daniu clenched his fists again.
If he hadn’t returned in time, his family would have been torn apart!
