New and dark light years

Chapter 202 Wait for me to find a way

At this time, Zhou Qingqing looked very ugly, but her crying voice was quite beautiful.

At this moment, the little boy named 'Xiao Hua' rushed over, spread his arms, and stood in front of Zhou Qingqing, then looked at Li Lin with frightened eyes.

He was trembling with fear, but he still stubbornly looked at Li Lin and stood in front of his mother.

Li Lin patted the other person's head and laughed, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your mother."

But the little boy didn't believe it.

Zhou Qingqing cried for a while, then wiped the dirt off her face with her sleeve and said, "Is Qin Donglai going to kill me so you can take Xiaohua away?"

"No, he just asked me to help look after his child, and in return, he would give me the five-colored bone."

"What if... I don't want to give it to you?"

Li Lin smiled but didn't say anything, but Zhou Qingqing understood what he meant.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Qingqing said, "I can give you that thing, but can you take my child and me away from here?"

Now, for some reason, Zhou Qingqing has been 'spread rumors' about her. Although it's not pornographic, it's much more damaging than that.

"Where do you want to go?" Li Lin asked.

"Anywhere is fine, as long as it allows my son and me to live a good life."

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "I can take you to Jin County. As for whether you can survive or which county you want to live in, that's none of my business."

"Can we go out?" Zhou Qingqing looked at Li Lin: "Last time I tried to go out through the city gate, I almost got caught by those martial arts people. They have many people guarding the women who try to leave the city."

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "There is a way, but it might be a bit troublesome."

"How to say?"

“Those江湖人 (jianghu people) tend to bully the weak and fear the strong,” Li Lin said with a smile. “If you go out disguised as an ordinary woman, they will certainly cause you trouble. But if you travel in a four-horse carriage with dozens of people, then no one will dare to investigate you.”

Zhou Qingqing said with distress, "But I can't do it. I'm not Qin Donglai's legal wife, and besides, Qin Donglai's legal wife and eldest son are already dead."

Li Lin nodded: "Qin Donglai guessed it. He knew his wife and children wouldn't survive, so he sought out the child you had."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingqing's face was filled with joy: "So, my Xiaohua will be the eldest son of the Qin family from now on?"

Li Lin looked at her with some surprise: "Now that Qin Donglai's branch of the family is finished, why do you still care whether he is the eldest son of the Qin family or not? You can say he is the eldest son of the Zhou family, which is also acceptable."

Zhou Qingqing replied, "A woman follows her husband after marriage... I was born a member of the Qin family, and I will die a member of the Qin family."

Li Lin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Seeing Li Lin's expression, Zhou Qingqing asked, "You seem to look down on me!"

"It's not that, it's that Qin Dong has misjudged you."

"What did he say?"

Li Lin told the truth: "He said you can only last three months at most. After you run out of money in three months, he will find another man and then abandon your son."

"How could he say that to me?" Zhou Qingqing trembled with anger. "Just because I used to be a prostitute? Was that something I wanted?"

"That's why I said he misjudged you," Li Lin said with a slight smile. "Keep the Five-Colored Bone for now. Give it to me when I'm ready to take you out."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Although my husband misjudged me, it seems he didn't misjudge you, sir."

Li Lin waved his hand: "He had no other choice."

Zhou Qingqing smiled subconsciously; she hadn't dared to smile for over a month.

"You all stay here for now. I'll come find you again when I'm almost ready."

After saying that, Li Lin left.

Zhou Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately closed the door.

Li Lin left decisively, but in fact, the two little paper figures on the roof had been watching them the whole time.

Moreover, more and more paper figures were arriving from the surrounding area.

It's safe to say that Zhou Qingqing's vicinity is completely under surveillance; she can't escape. Li Lin returned to the brothel, and the madam greeted him with great joy: "Oh, young master is back... Our sisters are all waiting for your favor."

Li Lin looked around and upstairs and noticed that many women were staring at him intently.

The way she looked made it seem like she wanted to strip him naked.

Li Lin smiled and said, "I'm here to check out."

"Young master, are you really here to sleep, or to have some fun?"

"There are too many martial arts practitioners in other places."

"Sigh!" The madam felt a little regretful.

Li Lin took his bundle from the brothel and led away his horse.

Behind him, the windows of the brothel were crowded with people.

Many women saw him off with sorrowful eyes.

Li Lin led his horse to the broker's shop.

The middle-aged broker respectfully asked, "Young master, would you like to buy a few maids or a few servants to do odd jobs?"

Li Lin said, "Do you have any secluded little houses for sale here, preferably with a yard?"

"Have!"

"Where is the property located, and how much does it cost?"

"Sixty taels of silver," the middle-aged broker said. "I'll take you to see it now."

"Row."

Li Lin then went to see the house with the middle-aged broker, was very satisfied, and bought it on the spot.

The extremely excited middle-aged broker asked, "Does the young master need any servants?"

"Need not."

The middle-aged broker presented the land deed and then left.

Li Lin tied his horse to the backyard of the house, then went to the market and bought a lot of cinnabar, inkstones, and white paper.

They also bought a lot of large sheets of yellow paper, the kind that weren't cut.

He hired laborers to move all these things into his yard, and after buying enough grain, he began to cut out paper figures.

A large paper figure, about the same size as a normal person.

That same evening, Zhou Qingqing was preparing to go to sleep as usual, because she was currently pretending to be an ugly and poor woman, so there weren't many candles available.

Most of the time, I go to sleep as soon as it gets dark.

At that moment, she suddenly screamed, because several pink and purple paper figures floated down from the roof.

Terrified, she hid in a corner, clutching her child tightly in her arms, and stared at the paper figures in horror.

Although she didn't understand what paper doll magic was, she knew that anyone who could do such things must be an extraordinary person in the martial arts world.

In other words... she was finally discovered.

Just as she was feeling scared, she saw two paper figures carrying a piece of white paper, which stopped in front of her.

One of the paper figures was gesturing for her to pick up a piece of white paper and open it.

Zhou Qingqing was hesitant at first, but the paper figure kept making this gesture.

As time passed, Zhou Qingqing felt less scared and picked up the white paper with trembling hands.

After reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at the little paper figures again and somehow felt that they seemed very proud and interesting.
