Two Worlds: Beginning from Becoming an Ancestral Spirit

Chapter 14 Account
"Brother Shi! Hurry up and absorb the incense first!"

Jiang Linger didn't say much, but urged Zhao Shi to absorb the incense from the incense sticks first.

Where is Zhao Yan?
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.

After looking at his daughter for two or three days, although she still didn't call him dad, he could feel the change in her attitude.

If you are from this world, you won't call me? I won't bother to pay attention to you, not to mention that a girl is not taken seriously in another world.

He is different after all.

From the Blue Star, from Daxia, from a modern world where daughters are more favored than sons.

"Yan'er, remember, our family has been very conspicuous recently. If we really encounter bad guys, at the critical moment, money and other things are not important and can be abandoned. If Dad wants, he can gather millions of wealth in an instant. Even if Dad is only an ancestral spirit now, money has never been a problem for our family!"

"My children, remember this: life is more important than money. No amount of money can be as important as your safety!"

"If you gain people and lose money, you gain both people and money. If you lose people and gain money, you lose both people and money. People are always the most important. Without people, what's the point of having so much money? They are cold and can't resist food or drink!"

After Zhao Shi absorbed half of the incense, he began to preach to his daughter.

He fears!!

I was afraid that my daughter would think money was important and would rather give up her life than money.

These teachings should have been told to her when she was a child, but Zhao Shi missed the child's childhood and can only preach to her now.

"Oh I see."

When Zhao Yan heard these words, she didn't know why she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

care!

For the first time, she felt the care from her father.

This kind of concern is different from her mother's concern. Her mother cares about her food, drink and health, but her father explains things to her.

Although she thought what her father said was unreasonable, she did not refute it.

Lost money?

How many people have lost their lives because of a few cents. Even the strongest man will hold on to his money before dying and is unwilling to lose a single cent.

She has seen a lot of things like this.

Except for those wealthy families, she had never seen anyone who didn't value money.

Their lives were worthless, even she herself was not worth a single ingot of silver.

She remembered that one year during a disaster, girls of her age could exchange it for just a few kilograms of grain.

When Zhao Shi saw his daughter's expression, he knew that she didn't listen. This was caused by her living environment. There was nothing he could do but guide her slowly.

Zhao Shi did not preach again, but smiled and reached out to touch his daughter's head. Although he could not touch it, it did not prevent him from expressing his concern.

It doesn’t even matter whether you can touch it or not, what matters is the thought behind it.

Zhao Yan, the girl who had been strong since childhood, rarely showed a hint of shyness.

Jiang Linger watched the interaction between the father and daughter, let out a long sigh, and her tense expression finally relaxed.

"Ling'er, Yan'er, here are two silver ingots and two crossbows. Exchange the silver for incense and gold, and use the crossbows for self-defense!"

Zhao Shi looked at the few remaining incense sticks, took out the crossbow and silver ingots and placed them on the table. He pondered for a moment and continued, "If someone is against you, you must take action first, then don't do anything else and return home quickly. As long as you are at home, I can protect your safety!"

If it were yesterday, Zhao Shi would not have the confidence to say this, but it was different from today. At least a dozen big men could not threaten him.

This is a county town. Even though the world is in chaos now, they dare not send out dozens of people. Gang fights are not counted. Do dozens of people attack ordinary people together? And the purpose of the attack is just for a few ingots of silver? How is it possible? Doing so is tantamount to rebellion.

"Don't exchange silver in one place. If it's hard to exchange, exchange it directly for incense. You can wait for gold, or use the silver to buy some jade directly! This way, it won't be obvious."

The mother and daughter were shocked when they saw the crossbow that Zhao Shi placed on the table.

Even now, bows and crossbows are still banned by the imperial court. Catching anyone using them would be punished with confiscation of property and death. Especially the hand crossbow that Zhao Shi took out, which was small and exquisite, made entirely of steel. The crossbow arrows were also made of steel, and the arrow tip was polished to a very sharp edge. Just by looking at it from a distance, you could feel a faint light flashing at the arrow tip, emitting a bone-chilling chill.

Without waiting for Zhao Shi to speak, Jiang Ling'er looked outside and hurriedly closed the door of the ancestral hall.

There was no other way. If someone saw it and told on them, their family would be destroyed in an instant. After closing the door, Jiang Linger took the crossbow and experimented with it. She held it in her hand, and her sleeves just covered it, so it was not visible from the outside. Then she handed the crossbow to Zhao Yan and said, "Yan'er, take it. Remember what your father said. If someone kidnaps you, give your money first. If the other party refuses to leave, don't hesitate, just use the crossbow!"

Jiang Ling'er has experienced more than Zhao Yan.

In this world, human life is worthless, especially the lives of ordinary people are like weeds. In this county, countless people die every day, and outside the city, bones are exposed in the wild. Who cares?

Without money and background, no one will claim their bodies after they die, and they will be thrown directly into a mass grave.

Even if she had the Song family martial arts school to support her, she would not be able to survive unless she was ruthless.

As for confiscating property and exterminating the clan?
If something happens to my daughter, it will be no different from confiscating the family property and exterminating the clan.

Moreover, although bows and crossbows are banned items, the chaotic world today has caused many large families to privately store weapons and armor.

Zhao Shi explained to them how to use the crossbow. This crossbow is a product of modern industry and is very different from ordinary crossbows. Zhao Shi had to explain it clearly one by one, such as how to aim, how to install it, and so on.

By the time the two of them had mastered the incense, there was only a little bit left. Zhao Shi hurriedly said, "Let's change to six sticks of incense this time. I plan to upgrade the ancestral spirit barrier to the next level!" After saying that, Zhao Shi's figure disappeared.

On the sofa, Zhao Shi slowly opened his eyes.

With the bows and crossbows, the mother and daughter finally had some ability to protect themselves as long as no warriors attacked them.

This allowed his tense mind to relax for a moment.

It was the first time in nearly three days that Zhao Shi felt his tense mind relax. As soon as he relaxed, he felt sleepy.

I slept until nine o'clock the next morning.

When Zhao Shi woke up, he was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he hurried to see the situation in the other world.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

However, there were more people crowding into the ancestral hall than before.

People sat on the ground without even enough space to move their bodies.

Jiang Ling'er and Zhao Yan, each holding a child and wrapped in a quilt, leaned against the corner of the ancestral hall.

The dim candlelight casts shadows in the silent ancestral hall, making people feel depressed.

No one speaks.

No one dared to speak.

Firstly, this was the ancestral hall where the spirits of the Zhao family’s ancestors were present. Secondly, the atmosphere was truly depressing, especially with the occasional screams coming from outside.

It even made many people tremble.

Evil!

There is an evil spirit in someone's house.

The sound seems to be not far away.

But no one dared to look.

The Demon Suppression Division?

Ha ha!

Just one exorcist cannot handle it all.

Even if he were to take charge, the first thing he would do would be to protect the rich and powerful in the county.

By the time it’s their turn, I wonder how many people will be left in this area.

Ever since the evil spirit appeared, the tavern's business has been declining. No one dares to come. If you accidentally provoke the evil spirit, it will be a disaster that will wipe out the whole family. Would you put your whole family in danger for a glass of wine? How is it possible?

Although Zhao Shi did not hear the screams, he could see the people in the ancestral hall trembling from time to time, and the mother and daughter also had ugly expressions.

"There is a situation!"

Although everyone was in a bad state in the past two days, it was not like this now. In an instant, Zhao Shi understood that something had happened over there.
