Chapter 3

Hope (2)

“Oh? There’s someone here!”

In the alley, a person walked out casually and met Lin Yan.

This person looked fierce and was half a head taller than Lin Yan. Lin Yan quickly avoided him.

That person didn’t mind.

However, just as the two of them were about to brush past each other.

“Eh?”

That person’s bell-like eyes looked at Lin Xiaozhi, who was in Lin Yan’s arms.

Lin Yan’s heart tightened. He protected Lin Xiaozhi and entered the alley.

He could feel a burning gaze on his back. It was only when he opened the door and closed the wooden bolt that the gaze disappeared.

“Brother, that person kept staring at me just now!”

Lin Xiaozhi suddenly whispered.

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat, but he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. The door is closed. No one can come in.”

He put Xiaozhi down and let her go to rest. He began to start a fire and cook, but he kept thinking about the look in that person’s eyes just now and felt uneasy.

Was that person a human trafficker?

Could his broken door stop those crazy human traffickers?

His eyelids drooped, and the work in his hands became more urgent.

“Xiaozhi, come and eat. I’ll wash your face first.”

Xiaozhi replied with an “oh” and hopped over with small steps. She closed her eyes and raised her head.

Lin Yan dipped the towel in water and wiped her carefully. As the mud faded, a fair and delicate face appeared.

She had jade-like skin, large eyes that were filled with spiritual energy, and a delicate nose and mouth. She was as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

Her eyes and eyebrows were vaguely similar to Lin Yan’s. It was obvious that they were siblings, but one grew in the sky and the other in the human world.

He wondered how beautiful a woman could cause his father Lin Mo’s ordinary genes to undergo such a huge mutation.

Yes, Xiaozhi’s mother was not Lin Yan’s mother. Although they were biological siblings, they had different mothers.

The room was very small and there was no empty s.p.a.ce for the dining table. The food was placed directly on the stove.

Lin Yan moved a bar stool over and carried Xiaozhi to sit by the stove.

The rough rice was paired with pickled vegetables and tofu. There was a small bowl of white rice. Xiaozhi ate it with relish, but Lin Yan’s heart ached.

As he ate, he took out a letter from a small drawer beside the stove and pulled out the letter.

This was his father’s will.

In this life, he was born into a commoner family. His mother died when he was seven years old, leaving him and his father, Lin Mo, to rely on each other.

Four years ago, when he was thirteen, he fell seriously ill.

In order to raise the medical fees, his father, Lin Mo, had no choice but to partic.i.p.ate in the Dingdeng Battle back then in exchange for the family expenses.

Later on, Lin Yan’s illness was cured, but his father disappeared on the battlefield and was never heard from again.

Three months ago, a group of bodyguards came to deliver Lin Xiaozhi and a note. Not only did it stimulate him to awaken the memories of his previous life, but it also let him know that his father did not die back then. Moreover, he had extraordinary encounters and had given birth to another daughter!

Opening the letter, Lin Yan browsed through it again.

“Lin Yan, my son, I hope that you will see me when you read these words.

“By the time you see this, I should be dead. For the past four years, there was not a moment when I didn’t want to go home to see you. Unfortunately, unfortunately…

“Lin Xiaozhi is your half-sister. Although I don’t like her, I can’t bear to see her die innocently. I had no choice but to send her back quietly. You won’t blame me, right?

“Remember, don’t try to find me. Don’t investigate anything about me.

“I only want you to live a peaceful life. If anything happens to you, I won’t die in peace!

“I can’t accompany you anymore. I just wish I could see you one last time. My son, take care, take care…”

His words were sincere.

Lin Yan had read this letter many times. The handwriting in the letter was very fast. It was obvious that he had written it in a hurry.

Lin Yan couldn’t be sure if this letter was written by his father, because four years ago, his father, Lin Mo, was still an illiterate gangster.

However, the similarity between Lin Xiaozhi’s eyes and his could not be faked.

What had his father experienced?

With Lin Yan’s understanding of Lin Mo, it was impossible for him to say that he didn’t like his biological daughter, unless this daughter wasn’t what he wanted to give birth to.

Why did his father tell him not to investigate? What kind of danger was involved?

“Dad, dad, you’ve really left me with a huge problem…”

After dinner, Lin Xiaozhi yawned repeatedly. Lin Yan wiped her face and coaxed her to sleep before coming out of the room.

This room was left behind by his father, Lin Mo. There were only two rooms. One was the kitchen for cooking, and the other was the sleeping room. The two beds, one big and one small, were next to each other and were extremely narrow.

Recalling the kidnapping at the Tiger Camp today and the evil man he met at the entrance of the alley, Lin Yan could not help but feel a strong sense of urgency.

He stood on the stove and brought down a wooden box from the black smoke vent.

The wooden box was filled with rotten wood. Seven or eight mushrooms with red umbrellas and white poles were growing freely among the broken wood.

Seeing that the mushroom was growing well and looking healthy, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

Poisons in this world were controlled products. Ordinary people had nowhere to buy them.

These were red umbrella mushrooms that he had bought from a mountain villager. In order to prevent Xiaozhi from accidentally touching or eating these poisonous mushrooms, he could only place the wooden box at the smoke vent to cultivate them, creating a warm and damp environment.

He reached out and pinched off a mushroom. It was bright red and looked delicious.

He reached out to touch the soil on the mushroom and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Red Umbrella, white pole. After eating it, you’ll be lying on a slab. This is a highly poisonous thing…”

Gritting his teeth, he stuffed the finger-long poisonous mushroom into his mouth and chewed and swallowed it.
