Chapter 2 — Young Woman Planting Fields And Elderly Cultivator Family

They went straight towards our house. My heart immediately skipped a beat. It's over, these creditors are too picky, collecting debt and even cosplaying! In a battle like this, do you want to level our whole family? I quickly rushed out of the room, lowered my voice and shouted to my father:

“Father! They're here! There are so many of them!”

My father had just finished practicing a boxing exercise, calmed down and wiped away his sweat. Hearing that, he just nodded faintly:

“Yes, it's here.”

"Dad, yes! Quickly think of a way!"

I stamped my feet impatiently.

“Let's run out the back door!”

“What are you running?”

My father brushed the dust off his body and adjusted his shirt.

“After hiding for so many years, it should end.”

After speaking, he clasped his hands behind his back and calmly walked towards the main gate. My mother and younger brother also followed, without any fear on their faces. My legs felt weak, wondering what my father was going to do? After breaking the vase, aren't you afraid of falling? Do you want to be tough with others? Even the machetes in our house are rusted, so how can we compete with those dozens of people? I gritted my teeth, grabbed the pickaxe from the corner of the wall, and followed. At worst, risk your life with them! If you want to arrest me, arrest me, don't touch my parents and younger brother! The four of us stood at the door, facing the group of ancient people from afar. When the old man in the lead saw my father, his whole body shook, his cloudy eyes immediately shot out stars, his lips trembled, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. The next second, he threw away the dragon-headed staff, knelt down with a "thump" sound. Dozens of people behind him also knelt to the ground at the same time, their movements were as neat as one, their momentum was majestic.

“My younger son, Lam Thi, welcomes my ancestors out of the mountains!”

That sound was like a loud bell resounding, shaking the whole mountain valley, the leaves on the trees also falling and rustling. I took the hoe and turned to stone on the spot. Old Ancestor? What old man? Isn't my father's name Lam Thuong Uyen? My mind was blank, the only thought was——these creditors not only play cosplay, but also role-play so deeply! As soon as I arrived, I recognized my ancestors. What new debt collection tactic is this? Want to play love cards? I regained my composure, quickly slammed the door, bolted it, turned around and shouted hoarsely to my father:

"Father! The creditor wearing a costume is coming to collect the debt, run quickly!"

3 Outside the door, the group of people were still shouting "welcome the ancestors to come out of the mountain". I leaned my back against the door panel, my heart pounding, feeling like the door could be broken at any moment.

"Father, mother, Lam Chu, why are you all so dumbfounded? Quickly run behind the mountain!"

I urge. But our family members seemed to have been hit with an acupuncture point, no one moved. My father, Lam Thuong Uyen, looked at me, with a complex expression on his face that I had never seen before, both happy and helpless.

"Tuc Tuc, don't be afraid, they are not creditors."

"What are you if you're not a creditor? Come to our house to organize a team building?"

I'm in such a hurry that I'm about to cry.

"Dad, don't be stupid anymore. People come to your door and even make such a big battle, it must be true!"

My mother, To Van Tinh, came over, patted my head, and said gently:

“Idiot, our family... has never owed anyone money.”

I was stunned. Don't owe money? So why did we have to hide in this deep forest and mountains for more than ten years? Why do we get up early and stay up late to plant fields? Because of life experience? My younger brother, Lam Chu, scratched his head and muttered in a low voice:

“Sister, I have wanted to say for a long time, our family is not avoiding debt, we are saving life.”

Death? What fate? I feel like my mind is completely useless. Our family's conversations seem to come from different dimensions.

“Okay, don't scare me anymore.”

My father sighed and walked towards me.

“Tuc Tuc, there are some things it's time to tell you.”

He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the door panel. The big wooden latch that took nine buffaloes and two tigers to install made a "crack" sound and popped out of the latch. The large door "creaked" open. Outside the door, dozens of people were still kneeling on the ground. Seeing the door open, the old man in the lead shed even more tears:

“Ancestor! You finally agreed to meet us!”

My father clasped his hands behind his back and walked out, an invisible aura of pressure radiated from his body. He was no longer the middle-aged father who drank tea every day, read the newspaper, and occasionally lamented my failed business, but seemed to have transformed into a different person, with deep eyes and a spirit like an abyss.

“Stand up.”

He gently opened his mouth, his voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.

“Thank you, old man!”

Everyone responded in unison, then respectfully stood up. I hid behind my mother, half my head sticking out, like a frightened ground squirrel. It's all so unreal. The old man in the lead, also the "Great Elder" in their mouth, walked forward and respectfully bowed to my father:

“Ancestor, after 13,000 years, we have finally found you!”

One thousand three thousand years? I pinched myself, it hurt. Not a dream. My father is only forty-five this year, where did he get thirteen thousand years? Was this old man's math taught by the gym teacher?

"I'm secluded here, I don't want to ask about worldly matters anymore."

My father's voice carried a bit of sadness.

“How did you find this place?”

The great elder said excitedly:

“A few days ago, we detected a strange lightning movement in the Dong Hoang mountain range, and electronic electricity wrapped around the roof, suspecting a great power to save us. We followed the trail and felt the unique chaotic aura of the ancestor, only now did we dare to confirm... Ancestor, you have suffered!"

Unusual lightning movement? Electronics wrapped around the roof? Didn't my mother use an iron pot to catch lightning? I sneaked a look at my mother. She felt guilty and turned away, whistling and looking at the clouds in the sky.

“Cough.”

My father cleared his throat, hiding his embarrassment.

"I'm very good here, you guys go home."

“Ancestor! Impossible!”

The great elder was impatient.

“Now the fairy world is shaking, all the great forces are preparing, all thinking that in the past, the person who fought a battle with Thien Dao fell. Our Lam family has been oppressed for ten thousand years! Now that you have returned, please ask our ancestors to take charge of the overall situation and lead us to restore the power of the Lam family!”

After he finished speaking, he was about to kneel down again. As soon as my father raised his hand, an invisible force caught him. Fighting a battle with Thien Dao? Fall down? Revitalize divine power? I hear my head getting bigger. We understand each word, but put it together and we don't understand it at all. I pulled the corner of my mother's shirt and asked in a low voice:

“Mom, what are they saying? What Heaven? What fairy world? Didn't you work in the grocery store before?"

My mother looked awkward and replied in a low voice:

“Well… your father's business is quite large, surpassing some circles.”

Before I could ask carefully, I saw the Great Elder's eyes fall on me. He was initially stunned, then A light flared in his eyes, a hundred times hotter than when he saw my father. He stared at me, his body shaking violently from excitement, pointing at me, his voice also changing:

“This person… this person is… could it be… in the legend…”

I felt my hair stand on end when he looked at me, so I instinctively retreated behind my mother. My parents' faces immediately became serious.
