Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 143 We can't let the children suffer, no matter how hard life gets.

"Brother Fan, the carriage ahead is already moving. What should we say?"

Chen Ergou gripped the reins tightly.

They returned to the caravan safely. The head constable who conducted the search took the shopkeeper's money, went through the motions, and left. It wasn't just Lin Fan and his group who went out that night; the constable wasn't diligent enough to search everyone.

But after Sun Ruolan woke up, she spoke a few words with Niu Dadan, then took the Ruyi Jinli and the iron sword and left.

Niu Dadan jumped out of the car. "Doctor, Brother Lin, you go first. I'll find Ruolan and then come after you."

Lin Fan and Doctor Lei nodded to him, and Chen Ergou cracked his whip, and the carriage started moving.

Niu Dadan had only taken two steps in the direction Sun Ruolan had gone when he saw the figure of a woman dressed in plain clothes walking towards him in the distance.

She wore gloves on both hands and carried a large object wrapped in black cloth, almost as tall as herself, on her back.

She wore a gold plum blossom hairpin, which clashed terribly with her clothes.

Niu Dadan's face lit up with joy. He ran quickly towards her, picked up Sun Ruolan, and ran back.

The caravan's horses weren't going very fast, but Niu Dadan, carrying his wife, caught up in no time. Lin Fan reached out and pulled them onto the carriage.

After greeting the three of them, the two of them became inseparable and started cuddling together, oblivious to everyone else. Niu Dadan hadn't even put Sun Ruolan down from the very beginning.

"Ruolan, have all the issues at home been resolved?"

Sun Ruolan buried her face in Niu Dadan's arms, "Yes, Dadan, everything is arranged. Don't worry, no one will use my name to suppress you again."

Lin Fan looked thoughtfully at the faint bloodstains on Sun Ruolan's clothes.

Sun Ruolan continued, "I asked them about the whereabouts of their third sister and went to the butcher's house to look for her, but the neighbors said they had already moved."

Niu Dadan comforted her, saying, "Third Sister should be living a happy life somewhere else."

Sun Ruolan nodded.

Niu Dadan looked at the plum blossom hairpin in her hair and said, "Ruolan, you look really good in this."

Sun Ruolan removed the bloodstained hairpin from her head. "Yes, but it's too conspicuous. Let's put it away for now. From now on, you'll be my only family."

Niu Dadan also said, "You are my only family."

Sun Ruolan touched her belly, "No, there's also our child."

Sun Ruolan took out the Ruyi Golden Glass, "This thing is truly magical."

Chen Ergou turned around from the front and interjected, "It's a pity we can't use it too much."

Niu Dadan then realized what was happening and quickly took it from Sun Ruolan's hand. "Ruolan, you only need to use this once. Don't use it again."

Chen Ergou said to the person behind him in a cheeky tone, "Brother Niu, what are you worried about? Your wife doesn't have that thing, what's there to be afraid of? I'm saying, it's perfect for your wife to use."

Niu Dadan suddenly realized what was happening and shoved the Ruyi Golden Glass into Sun Ruolan's hand. Indeed, Ruolan didn't have one. Was it perhaps a little shorter? That wouldn't seem like a side effect, would it?

Knowing the truth, Lin Fan couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his voice and said, "Old Niu, no, it's different for girls."

Niu Dadan asked curiously, "How is it different?"

Lin Fan didn't know how to explain, so he glanced at Niu Dadan's chest three times in a row, and Niu Dadan finally understood.

He stared intently at Sun Ruolan's chest, making her uncomfortable. "You rascal, I'll show you when it's just the two of us."

Niu Dadan shook his head repeatedly and then lowered his head to bite Sun Ruolan's ear.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruolan's face turned pale, and she quickly stuffed the Ruyi Golden Glass back into Niu Dadan's hand.

However, Sun Ruolan thought about it again and said, "Adan, will it make it smaller if you use it?"

Niu Dadan didn't know how to speak, but Chen Ergou, who was always eager for a good show, blurted out, "It's not a little smaller, it's a little shorter!"

Sun Ruolan pondered for a moment, then took the Ruyi Golden Glass back from Niu Dadan's hand. "No, I'll use it. Dadan, you're my boss, I can't let you be looked down upon!"

Niu Dadan gritted his teeth and snatched it back, saying, "No, we can't let our children suffer."

Sun Ruolan snatched it back, saying, "No, it's okay for the child to suffer a little, but we can't let the head of the household lose face!"

The two of them fought over it for quite a while.

Dr. Lei couldn't bear to watch any longer and coughed twice, "You should try to use it as little as possible."

Lin Fan chimed in, "Yeah, yeah."

Dr. Lei turned to Lin Fan, "You're still the same, yeah, look at what you've become, your hair's all white. You're the one who's most reckless. My dear brother, you look older than me now, how many more years do you have to live if you keep going like this?"

Lin Fan said earnestly, "But doctor, I can't do without it."

Dr. Lei said, "My dear brother, if you use this again, you'll lose your life. This is no good stuff!"

Lin Fan shook his head. "Doctor, I'm still alive. The person who wanted to kill me is dead. How can that not be a good thing?"

Dr. Lei was speechless. "Sigh, I can't argue with you. Anyway, you know what's going on."

After this back and forth, Niu Dadan and the other man stopped arguing, and the Ruyi Golden Glass was put away by someone, no one knew.

Sun Ruolan finally caught her breath, got off Niu Dadan, and gracefully stepped forward to give Lin Fan a deep bow. "Brother Lin, you have saved us again. You are our savior. We have no way to repay your kindness."

“Lin…” Niu Dadan hurriedly stepped forward, uttered one word, and then quickly corrected himself, saying, “Brother Fan, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”

Lin Fan scratched his head. "There's no need for me to go through fire and water, but I do have something I need your help with."

The two said in unison, "Please speak."

"Can you lend me some money?"

"what?"

"what?"

Doctor Lei came out and explained, "This is what happened. In order to save you in the wetlands, I took all the money that everyone in the carriage had with me and had Chen Ergou buy all sorts of things. It's all gone now."

Upon hearing this, Niu Dadan smiled and turned to look for his silver in his bundle. "Hey, where's my silver?"

Dr. Lei stroked his beard sheepishly, "I told you, all the money in the carriage is gone. I don't know if you have any left."

Niu Dadan and Sun Ruolan both shook their heads with bitter faces, only managing to pull out a few copper coins and Sun Ruolan's golden hairpin.

Dr. Lei clicked his tongue. This couple was really carefree; they even left all their money in the carriage after getting off.

However, the two of them didn't have much money to begin with. Niu Dadan had almost no savings, and most of Sun Ruolan's money was paid to the caravan.

Dr. Lei has earned a lot of money practicing medicine over the years, but he spent 90% of it on the search portal in Bailin Village, and now it's all gone.

The three looked at Lin Fan, and Doctor Lei said, "Brother, you didn't get off the train without any money, did you? You don't have much silver in your bag."

Lin Fan naturally brought most of the money with him, leaving only some inconvenient items in the carriage.

However, he scratched his cheek sheepishly, "I had spent it all by the time I got off the bus."
