System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

Lin Miao practiced for several days in a row. When he was tired, he practiced magic techniques, trying to become proficient in each one.

At night, people in the village often heard various noises coming from the back mountain. They were so scared that they stayed at home and dared not go out. They all said: The back mountain is haunted.

Lin Miao: ...hiding his merits and fame.

There was chaos in Mrs. Zhang's house.

She wanted to come to the main room several times, but every time she went out, she either fell down or got hit by something!

Every time you come here, you get unlucky.

Never walked to the door of the main room once!

Old Mrs. Zhang murmured in her heart: Did Lin Dahua do something to me?

How could I be so unlucky?

Finally, he broke his leg and became afraid, so he stopped coming.

But every day at home he cursed Lin Miao: unlucky star, ungrateful wolf...

If she stopped making trouble, Lin Miao would no longer pay attention to them.

A few days later, Magistrate Wu sent a yamen runner to deliver a letter, which read: "I heard from a close friend in the city that there was a circus troupe that performed everywhere a few years ago and came to Lianhua Town. There was a young man in the troupe who looked like the eldest son of Lin Xianchang."

Lin Miao was extremely anxious when she received the letter.

Zhang Jinyan also wanted to take the imperial examination, so the two of them took their money and hired a ox cart to go to Qingcheng Prefecture.

It took 5 days on the journey, and we arrived at the provincial capital on this day.

The three of them had no time to rest and went to the residence of the circus troupe in a dusty manner.

From a distance, a sour and stinky smell came out.

This area is inhabited by the poorest people in the city.

The circus troupe rented a house here.

Lin Miao didn't care that the stench was making her feel nauseous, and she just wanted to find Zhang Lai Jin.

Every time she thought about the child's disability and the unknown life he was having outside, her heart ached.

This may be the blood relationship.

A little child saw a few well-dressed people coming into the alley, so he cried out and ran inside.

Lin Miao grabbed him and said, "Kid, why are you running?"

The child couldn't break free, so he could only say, "The owner of the circus here said that a distinguished person is coming, and whoever reports it will be given a copper coin."

Lin Miao gave him a copper coin and asked him to lead the way.

The alleys became increasingly crowded, with sewage flowing everywhere.

Lin Miao and the others felt their hearts tighten.

I finally found the owner.

The owner of the horse troupe thought that business had come to him: "Madam, I greet you, but which family has a wedding and wants us to perform acrobatics?"

Lin Miao looked at his face. His eyes were shrewd but his expression was gloomy. He might be in trouble in the near future.

But it has nothing to do with her.

He said, "Boss, did you buy a disabled young man named Zhang more than 20 years ago? Is he in the team now?"

The boss was a little disappointed when he saw that there was no business.

But people who do business always make money through harmony.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, he is, but he is not disabled. He was beaten by someone."

Lin Miao actually already sensed that she was no longer the eldest son, but she didn't feel anything at all.

If it was Zhang Lai Jin, who was so close, she should be able to sense it through the blood of Zhang Jinyan and Zhang Lai Jin.

She said, "Thank you for taking us to see him. If he is the person we are looking for, we will reward him handsomely."

As soon as she saw the young man, she shook her head in disappointment.

Monks are the most accurate in judging blood relationships.

But Lin Miao still gave the troupe owner two taels of silver as a thank you gift, and hinted to him: "The troupe owner may have a bloody disaster recently, so you must be careful."

After hearing this, the class owner did not comment, but just smiled and thanked him. In his heart, he was still a little unhappy that Lin Miao said such an unlucky thing.

Lin Miao shook her head: You see, good intentions do not necessarily bring good rewards.

They rented a small courtyard not far from the examination venue and lived there. They didn't mind the price, as long as it was comfortable and quiet.

Qian Gui was responsible for running errands for his brother-in-law and mother-in-law, while Lin Miao went around. What if she could find the eldest son?

One day, she just arrived at the door of her house and bumped into a child head-on: "Ouch."

The child fell on his butt.

Lin Miao hurriedly helped him up, and when she looked, hey, isn't this the child who led her in the alley? Just as she was about to speak, the child cried out, "Master, Immortal, help me, please save Master Ma."

Lin Miao frowned and did not take him home, for fear of disturbing Zhang Jinyan from studying.

He took the child to the tea shop next door and bought him some snacks: "Tell me, what horse owner are you saving?"

The child wiped his nose and said, "Master, I don't know either. It's just that the elder brother of the horse team owner asked me to come to you. He said that you went there to look for him two days ago. He couldn't move around easily, so he asked me to ask you to go there."

Lin Miao thought about it and decided to go find the young man herself. Although he was not her eldest son, they were destined to be together, so it would not be a big deal for her to go and see him.

He gave the child 10 copper coins, asked him to go back and tell the young man that he would be there in a while, and then went home.

Lin Miao returned to the rental house and said to Zhang Jinyan, "Son, I have to go out to help someone with some problems today. I don't know if I can come back home. Just focus on studying and don't worry about me."

Zhang Jinyan said, "Mom, is it dangerous? This city is not like our countryside. We are unfamiliar with the place. If you are not sure, it is okay to refuse. Please take care of yourself."

Lin Miao waved her hand: "Mom doesn't need you to worry about anything. Just focus on studying. I know what to do."

Even if there is danger, you can still get out of it by yourself.

It is already afternoon, the heat has passed, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going.

Various buildings stand on both sides of the street, including teahouses, restaurants, inns, shops, etc.

Some people on the street are walking in a hurry, while others are leisurely.

Children were playing on the streets, and their hard-working parents looked at their children with a glimmer of hope on their faces.

Lin Miao thought about the world she lived in, where there were only people and vehicles rushing to and fro on the streets.

But, that's where my heart is.

She soon arrived at where the owner of the horse team lived and met the young man.

The young man had a leg injury, and when he saw Lin Miao coming, he hurriedly saluted: "Master, I am sorry for offending you last time. I apologize here."

Lin Miao sat down, looked at the young man and said, "Young man, you don't have to be so polite. You asked that kid to look for me, what's the matter?"

The young man said with shame: "This matter has nothing to do with the immortal, but this matter is strange, and I don't know where to ask for help. The immortal told the class owner about the bloody disaster last time, so I shamelessly came to you for help."

Lin Miao: "We cultivators pay attention to fate. I have reminded the class leader last time. He didn't believe me, which means our fate has been broken. If I interfere in other people's affairs again, it will be disadvantageous to me. Please don't make it difficult for me."

The young man thought for a moment and said, "Our class leader is a kind person. He saved my life in the past. I know the rules of monks. I will take this as a thank you gift and ask the immortal to help me."

As he spoke, the young man took out a piece of stone with strange patterns engraved on it from his arms!!!

Lin Miao! Good stuff!

The system suddenly called out in Lin Miao's mind: "Yes, yes ...

Lin Miao: .....

What does it have to do with you whether it’s good or not!

Lin Miao pretended to be calm as she took the stone and put it into her own space: "Okay, I'll take this order. If I can't solve the problem, I'll return the stone to you."

System: Give it to me, give it to me...

Lin Miao: Shut up, stop making noise.

Lin Miao: "Tell me, what happened?"

The young man said, "This story started many years ago. There was a rich man in this city, and outsiders gave him the nickname: Qian Baiwan. He had one wife and three concubines. Only his wife Wang and concubine Sun had children. The other two concubines had no children."

Lin Miao frowned and listened: Qian, Fucheng, so familiar.

The young man continued, "Many years ago, my master led his troupe to perform acrobatics at the Qian family's home and discovered a secret of the Qian family. He was afraid of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly took his troupe to another province to make a living."

"He mentioned this to me vaguely, but he didn't say it was a secret. Many years have passed, and he thought it was all in the past, and no one would remember a nobody like him, so he returned to his hometown."

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Qian invited our troupe to his birthday party. We were going to perform for three consecutive days, so the troupe owner and his brothers and sisters stayed at the Qian residence."

He took a breath and said, "Because I was not feeling well, and I was afraid that the master would be jealous of my disability, I did not go."

"This morning, a servant from the Qian Mansion came to me and handed me a note. The master only said that he was haunted by an evil spirit and was afraid that he would not be able to return home today. He also tried to leave the mansion, but was always blocked by ghosts. However, the servants and servants were able to come and go freely, and so were the outsiders."

Lin Miao said: "No more specific instructions? Then how can I enter the Qian Mansion?"

Young man: "The Qian Mansion has recently hired a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts. You can recommend yourself to the mansion."

Lin Miao chuckled: "The Qian Mansion is haunted, and you can still have a party? Do you believe this?"

The young man said anxiously, "Indeed, we have invited dinner. Most people in this city know about it. I can't lie to you about it. But if the master hadn't written a note back, I wouldn't have known about the Qian family being haunted. No one outside knows about it."

Lin Miao: "The Qian family's own house is haunted, and they invited others to go. It's too unkind."

Young man: "Master, it is written on the paper that the master of the Qian family cannot leave the house, but the servants and outsiders can. The Qian family invited us to ask for help. Master cannot come out because he may be...involved."

Lin Miao: "The truth cannot be hidden. How could others not know that he invited a Taoist priest to come to his house? Are there any guests who dare to come to his house?"

Young man: "The Qian family just told the outside world that the eldest young master was ill, and asked relatives and friends to invite a Taoist priest to cure the young master and exorcise evil spirits. It is common for wealthy families to invite Taoist priests to visit when they are ill."

Lin Miao: "I'm afraid the Qian family didn't hire a Taoist priest? Wouldn't this arouse suspicion?"

Young man: "The guests have all left, and now, the news has spread."

Lin Miao: "What about the Taoist priests who went in? Has anyone come out?"

The young man shook his head: "Only those who went in, I haven't heard of anyone coming out."

Lin Miao: "In but no out?"

There is no such thing as an easy advantage!

Won’t this business be a loss?
