Chapter 6 Revenge
Gu Shihan searched again and found that a bed board at the foot of the bed was a little different. She carefully lifted it and found a long wooden box inside.

Upon opening it, wow, there was quite a lot of stuff: five fifty-tael silver notes, eight ten-tael silver notes, and some loose silver.

There was also a gold bracelet and a gold-inlaid jade hairpin, with a small "Wan" character on it. These things clearly belonged to Liu's mother.

Gu Shihan took out a handkerchief, wrapped everything up, and put it in her bosom. After thinking for a moment, she used the handkerchief to wipe the box again to remove any traces.

He wiped everything he had turned over before quickly leaving the Shi family's old house and heading to the town five miles away.

With money, things became much easier. First, I went to the fabric store and bought two bolts of fine blue cotton cloth and two bolts of coarse gray cloth.

Gu Shihan thought for a moment and bought two more bolts of white coarse cloth, intending to use them as an undergarment; she didn't want to compromise her health.

I bought small items like needles, thread, and scissors. When I saw shoes, I bought two pairs. I also bought two sets of men's and two sets of women's clothing that suited me.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed; this was a big sale. He happily gave away two pairs of socks and a bundle of embroidery thread.

Gu Shihan's next stop was a general store, where she bought oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, earthenware pots, several rough porcelain bowls, and a pair of bamboo chopsticks. She also bought a wood-fired stove.

After wandering around the town for about an hour and buying all the necessities, I was about to leave when I spotted a bamboo ware shop.

Gu Shihan went inside. Not bad, there were tables, chairs, cabinets, and bamboo beds, etc.

"Young lady, what would you like to buy?" the shopkeeper, a man in his fifties, asked with a smile.

"Uncle, I want to buy this, this, and those other items. Can you deliver them?" Gu Shihan asked.

The man sized Shi Han up and down, then smiled and said, "Delivery is no problem, young lady. Didn't your parents come?"

"They're here. They went to the cattle market to buy cattle? Uncle, could you help me deliver these things to Tongzipo outside the town? My dad will pick them up there," Gu Shihan said, making up a story without even blinking.

"Alright, these things together cost 360 coins."

Gu Shihan paid the money and left with the deliveryman. On the way, she bought twenty steamed buns and ten mantou from a steamed bun shop, and then bought two jin of braised meat from a braised meat shop before leaving the town satisfied.

The waiter unloaded the goods at the designated place, drove the oxcart away, and Gu Shihan checked that no one was around. With a wave of her hand, she packed up the things and leisurely returned to the cave.

To keep it hidden, Gu Shihan transplanted several shrubs at the entrance of the cave, so that no one would discover it.

Take out the bamboo bed, bamboo table and bamboo chair and place them in one of the ear holes. Put the cotton quilt you bought on top. Although the weather is not very cold, the cave is still quite cool.

Gu Shihan left some things in the space, but the cooking utensils had to be taken out. The kitchen was set up on the other side of the valley, because it was close to water and convenient for washing and cleaning.

Dinner consisted of steamed buns and a pot of pheasant stew with mushrooms. The pheasant was caught this morning, and the mushrooms were picked yesterday; these are all local specialties of Lingshan.

After eating and drinking his fill, Gu Shihan entered the space and began to meditate and cultivate. The first part was to guide Qi into the body.

When Gu Shihan went to choose a cultivation technique, this set of techniques automatically jumped into her hands. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a good technique. This technique was the Chaos Technique cultivated by Fairy Qingchen. It was a complete set of techniques, including the incantation for guiding qi into the body, mental cultivation method, footwork, and swordsmanship.

However, Gu Shihan hadn't made any progress after practicing for a few days. Upon investigation, she discovered that it was because her physical condition was too poor.

This can't be rushed; it can only be adjusted slowly. However, with the space around, it definitely won't be a problem. Gu Shihan has also picked up her kung fu from her previous life, and now she can easily move in and out of Ling Mountain.

Dealing with a few wolves is no problem, but it becomes dangerous with more than that, so she is very cautious when going in and out.

Life went on like this. One day, Gu Shihan, dressed as a boy, went out of the mountain and met the drunk Shi Peng about a mile away from Lingshan Village.

A surge of hatred rose in her heart. She glanced at Shi Peng and made a bold decision: to lure people to Wolf Valley. Since he liked to feed wolves, how could she not grant his wish?
However, it was still a bit troublesome to lure people there. After thinking for a while, she took out a silver ingot from her space and tossed it around as she walked. She didn't believe that Peng wouldn't fall for it.

As he passed by Shi Peng, the silver fell to the ground. Although Shi Peng was so drunk that he was staggering, his eyesight was still very good.

"Silver?" Shi Peng was a little unsteady on his feet and bent down to pick up the silver on the ground.

Gu Shihan quickly went up, picked up the silver, and left.

"Little... little brat, that's my money!"

"This is clearly my money, you shameless bastard!"

"Who says I'm shameless? Those who see it get a share, kid, give it to me!"

Gu Shihan waved the silver in her hand at Shi Peng and said with a smile, "Come and snatch it. If you manage to snatch it, it's yours. How about it?"

"Are you serious? Grandpa's coming right now!" Shi Peng's eyes were blurry with drunkenness, his gaze fixed only on the gleaming silver ingot in Gu Shihan's hand.

Stumbling and staggering, he followed behind Gu Shihan, and before he knew it, they had arrived at the foot of Mount Ling.

Few people usually come here. Gu Shihan decided to make her move here. She stepped forward and knocked the person down with a single chop to the neck. She then waved her hand and put the person into her spatial storage, heading towards Wolf Valley.

Upon reaching the edge of Wolf Valley, they released Shi Peng, and a basin of water was poured over him, instantly waking him up.

"You...who are you?" Shi Peng sobered up a bit and stared at Shi Han, who was eating a roasted chicken leg, as he asked.

"Fourth Uncle, don't you recognize Han'er? You left me and Mother here, and we were bitten by wolves. It hurt so much. Have you forgotten?" Gu Shihan said with a smile.

"You...are you a human or a ghost? I...I didn't..." Shi Peng got up and tried to run away.

Gu Shihan picked up a pebble and threw it, which hit Shi Peng right in the back of the knee, causing him to fall face-first into the mud with a thud.

A scream of agony shattered the tranquility of Ling Mountain.

"Fourth Uncle, we died so tragically, come down and join us!" Gu Shihan's sinister voice made Shi Peng even more frightened, and he trembled all over.

"You...you really are that...Han'er? No, she's been eaten by wolves. Who are you? We have no past grievances or recent feuds. Why did you bring me here? Murder is illegal. You'll go to jail...you'll be beheaded. Father, Mother, please save me. I don't want to be eaten by wolves..." Shi Peng said in a trembling voice.

"Shi Peng, you know that murder leads to imprisonment and beheading? When you killed me, when you killed my mother, didn't you think about that? You killed them, but you heartlessly sent them to feed the wolves. Are you even human?" Gu Shihan asked, her eyes blazing with anger.

"You...you really are Han...Han'er, Han'er, please forgive your fourth uncle. I promise I'll never do it again. Let's...let's go home, okay?" Shi Peng said hurriedly.
