The Injured suddenly appeared in their yard, and apart from the neighbor Brother Guo's family, the other villagers were unaware that they had rescued someone! The boy's appearance was very abrupt, as if he had materialized out of thin air. His clothes were tattered and covered in wounds, but the quality of the fabric suggested it was very fine. The only intact item was a pouch that was larger than Bao Xiruo's palm, but no matter what they did, they could not open it. The two of them felt even more awe towards the boy's identity; he must be someone extraordinary. This was also why Yang Tiexin secretly took in an Injured person at home—fearing that the boy's enemies might come looking for him and implicate them, while also hoping that if the boy's identity was indeed special, he might help their family.
Yang Tiexin fed the prepared medicine to the unconscious boy, although half of it was wasted. After dinner, Bao Xiruo sat under the lamp sewing a new shirt and pants for her husband. Yang Tiexin finished two pairs of straw sandals and hung them on the wall, remembering that he had broken the plow head while farming during the day. He said to Bao Xiruo: "The plow head is damaged; tomorrow I'll ask Zhang Mu'er from Dong Village to add a pound and a half of iron to fix it."
Bao Xiruo replied: "Okay!"
Yang Tiexin looked at his wife and said: "I have enough clothes! You are weak and pregnant; you should rest well and not make clothes for me anymore." Bao Xiruo turned her head and smiled but continued to sew.
Yang Tiexin walked over and gently took her needle and thread. Only then did Bao Xiruo stretch and go to bed after turning off the light. In the middle of the night, Bao Xiruo, half-asleep, suddenly heard her husband sit up abruptly, startling her awake. She could faintly hear the sound of hooves in the distance; it seemed to be coming from the west Donglai. After a while, hoofbeats could also be heard from the east, followed by sounds from both the north and south. Yang Tiexin pushed open the window to look outside and saw a large group of soldiers surrounding the village, with many Soldiers holding torches high, while several Generals rode back and forth on horseback.
One General shouted loudly: "Guo Xiao, Yang Tiexin, two traitors, come out quickly to be captured!"
Yang Tiexin was taken aback, and Bao Xiruo turned pale with fear. Yang Tiexin whispered: "The officials don't know what they're doing; they are harming innocent people. We can't reason with them. We have no choice but to escape. Don't panic; with my spear, I will surely protect you through this siege."
He took down an iron spear from the wall, held it in his hand, strapped on his quiver, took his wife's right hand, and suddenly thought of the boy in another room. He rushed into that room, bound the boy with cloth strips behind his back, and pulled his wife out through the door. At this moment, Guo Xiao had already engaged in battle with the officials; together they fought fiercely, causing dozens of casualties among the soldiers.
Yang Tiexin rushed beside a white horse ridden by a Military Officer, raised his spear, and knocked the officer off his horse. He pushed off against the ground with his spear and leaped onto the horse's back. With a squeeze of his legs, the horse neighed loudly and charged toward the door amidst the flames. Yang Tiexin thrust his spear into a nearby Soldier, bent down to lift Bao Xiruo onto the horse's back, and shouted: "Big brother, follow me!"
Guo Xiao wielded dual weapons to protect his wife Li Ping, fighting their way out of the crowd...
In this brutal fight and escape, Guo Xiao died in battle, while Li Ping was captured by soldiers. Although Yang Tiexin managed to escape with his wife and the boy, he decided to return to rescue his sister-in-law. He placed his wife and the boy on the ground and steeled himself to save Li Ping.
At that moment, Bao Xiruo, pushed aside by her husband, felt her heart ache like a knife wound. In an instant, soldiers caught up with them; as she tried to evade them, several soldiers surrounded her on horseback. A Military Officer raised a torch and scrutinized her face for a moment before nodding. He then looked at the boy on the ground and said to another soldier: "There's an extra one!"
Another armed official replied: "Sixth Master didn't mention this person; let's kill him! It will save us trouble and avenge our fallen brothers!"
"En." The first Military Officer nodded and said to his subordinate, "Kill him!"
As the subordinate raised his knife to strike, suddenly the boy on the ground opened his eyes, sprang up, and flew behind Bao Xiruo's horse, giving it a hard slap on the rear, taking Bao Xiruo away.
"Chase!" The two officers hurriedly led their men in pursuit, but unfortunately, the boy seemed to be an excellent rider and had already vanished with Bao Xiruo.
The horse ran slower and slower until it finally stopped. The boy rolled off the horse, and then Bao Xiruo struggled down from the horse and ran to the boy's side, asking, "Are you okay?"
The boy's face was pale as he shook his head slightly. The boy was Yi Qian, the obedient disciple Bai Tang had been searching for. He had been caught in the temporal turbulence of Haidong Island's sea and had only just managed to break free. Both his body and Divine Sense were severely injured and he was rescued by the Yang Family Couple. During his coma, he was aware of his surroundings but could not move due to his severe injuries. This time, when his life was threatened, he used the last bit of strength he had regained over these days to escape with Bao Xiruo.
...
A few months later, Yi Qian sat holding a newborn baby in a daze. The baby's mother died during childbirth and before she passed away, she handed a dagger to Yi Qian.
"This dagger was given by Qiu Daoshang to the child; it pairs with Brother Guo's family's dagger. My husband exchanged daggers with Brother Guo, agreeing that if both families had boys, they would become brothers; if one boy and one girl were born, they would become husband and wife..."
Yi Qian touched the character "Jing" engraved on the dagger, wanting to cry but unable to: it was at this moment that he realized the temporal turbulence had sent him into the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and unknowingly he had disrupted Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiruo's marriage, even causing Bao Xiruo's death! Now he also had to help Bao Xiruo raise her son; he had no experience at all!
The baby in his arms seemed to love Yi Qian's scent very much; it nestled against his chest and slept soundly, occasionally moving its mouth as drool soaked Yi Qian's clothes.
This child is actually the antagonist Yang Kang! Yi Qian thought. Such a cute child; how could he be allowed to have such a tragic fate as depicted in the original work? He had read The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which portrayed Yang Kang as a villain. However, in Yi Qian's view, Yang Kang was not inherently bad; rather, he was someone who valued emotions deeply. The many wrongdoings he committed were related to the pressures from his three elders: a so-called biological father devoid of feelings forced him to kill his adoptive father who loved him as his own son for eighteen years. How could a child who valued emotions do such a thing? Yet because of this, he was scolded by his elders and looked down upon by others—how could he not turn dark?
"Don't worry! I won't let you be scorned like in the original work. I won't let you become Qiu Chuji's disciple. I will teach you Cultivation so that you can be even more powerful than the Five Absolutes!" Yi Qian considered taking Yang Kang to find his biological father. Although Yang Tiexin in the story was not well-liked, during Yi Qian's coma, Yang Tiexin took care of him and he came to understand this man. He was somewhat patriarchal, believing that sons should obey their fathers and valuing brotherhood over wife and children. However, overall he was still a good person—loyal and responsible—a true man. Most importantly, Yang Tiexin saved him; he owed Yang Tiexin a debt that must be repaid. However, this world was vast; Yi Qian had not yet recovered his strength (his injuries were too severe, especially regarding Divine Sense; without effective medicine for treatment, it would take at least ten or twenty years for him to fully recover), and he was unfamiliar with this world and did not know how to find Yang Tiexin. According to the book, Yang Tiexin would come to Golden Capital with Mu Nianci for a martial arts contest in eighteen years; perhaps it would be best to wait there for an opportunity!
Yi Qian had a desire to find a mountain rich in Qi to heal and recover his strength, but he had to take care of Bao Xiruo before, and now he had to look after Yang Kang Baby, so Yi Qian could only give up living in the mountains. He brought Yang Kang Baby back to Niujia Village, where no one had seen him before, and the officials would no longer come. Yi Qian easily bought the Guo Family's house—he avoided buying the Yang Family's house out of concern that Wanyan Honglie would not give up and come looking for trouble. Yi Qian just wanted to quietly raise the child and cultivate without any disturbances—his storage bag contained several modern items, and after selling an inconspicuous one, Young Master Yi had accumulated over a thousand taels of silver, making him quite wealthy in Niujia Village.
Yi Qian couldn't take care of the child himself, so he reluctantly hired a wet nurse for Yang Kang Baby. This wet nurse was not an ordinary person; she was actually Qu San's wife, who had just given birth to a daughter. Given Qu San's hidden wealth and his public identity as the owner of a Wine Shop, his wife didn't need to work as a wet nurse at all. However, Consort Qu's maternal love was overwhelming; she felt particularly sympathetic towards Yang Kang Baby, who was an orphan. Thinking that one child is the same as two, she became Yang Kang Baby's wet nurse without asking for payment! Yi Qian didn't take advantage of them for free; he often sent good things to the Qu family.
Life passed by peacefully like this. When Yi Qian's injuries had healed halfway, Yang Kang turned seven. Yi Qian sent him to school during the day and began teaching him cultivation at night. Yang Kang was indeed clever; within a month, he had learned to draw Qi into his body and was now a first-layer Cultivator. During this time, while Yi Qian was guiding Yang Kang in his cultivation, he suddenly heard a series of clanging sounds coming from outside the village, faintly hearing several people shouting, "Where do you think you're going?" "Stop right there!"
Yi Qian's heart stirred as he recalled something: the book mentioned that Guo Jing and Huang Rong discovered Qu San dead in a secret chamber but did not specify the exact time of Qu San's death; at that time, Silly Aunt also didn't know. Could it be this time?
Thinking about Consort Qu's care for Yang Kang, Yi Qian decided to save Qu San this time and repay the Qu family's kindness.
A shadow moved as someone ran over from a distance; it was Qu San, the lame man who ran an inn at the village entrance, supporting himself with two crutches. He leaned down with one crutch on the ground with a clang and then leaped up, hiding behind a pine tree—his Lightness Skill was remarkably high. Of course, Young Master Yi couldn't see this because he didn't know any Lightness Skill at all!
