Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies

The Rong Family members who were brought before the Zheng Family house manager still looked quite miserable, as they had been involved in a chaotic three-way battle shortly after descending the mountain and had not yet managed to get to town for treatment.

When the house manager saw that three of them had leg injuries, he was instantly stunned.

All three were wounded in the leg, and the positions were roughly the same; could it be that they were caused by "Thirteenth Aunt"?

However, this was not what he should be concerned about at the moment.

He turned to Rong Zhimin, "Where is your niece? Where did she go? And her brother... don’t tell me the two of them have run away..."

Rong Zhimin had already guessed that the Zheng Family wouldn’t let this go so easily; they were sure to come back.

But he was still frightened by this display of force.

He was just a commoner, someone not used to such posturing.

He began to speak with a tremble, "...She ran away, carrying her brother towards the mountain... And her bow and arrows are formidable, my brother and I were both shot in the leg with a bloody hole..."

They hadn’t even seen a doctor yet, and the Zheng Family had already arrived.

The house manager, upon hearing this, glanced again at the brothers’ legs, still bleeding.

But with those people having run away, how was he to report back to Old Master Zheng?

Thinking about how he would be scolded once he got back, his tone became unpleasant.

"Which way up the mountain did she go? Find someone to lead the way for me. If she really ran away, then be prepared to face our Old Master Zheng’s wrath!"

"You took our Old Master Zheng’s money, yet the person is gone... The consequences are not something you can bear."

Upon hearing this, the faces of those from the third branch of the Rong Family looked very bad.

"...We had no choice, she was too formidable, her archery too accurate; ordinary folks are simply no match for her... She, she’s even tougher than my second brother."

Rong Zhimin spoke angrily of this, his second brother had a profound problem in his mind.

He treated a maid as if she were a treasure.

He had wanted the second brother to mentor his son, to teach him some skills.

But no matter how much he argued, the second brother did not agree, which infuriated him.

Now his nephews were not taught... Instead, all the skills were passed to his own daughter, who seemed so fragile that a gust of wind might blow her away.

Wasn’t this a case of severe folly?

Even if the maid was good looking, she would still need to marry, right? Although Old Master Zheng may be old, his family was the richest in town, wealthy as could be.

Being noticed by such a family... even if it meant being a concubine, wouldn’t she still be clothed in silk and satin, living a luxurious life, and meanwhile able to elevate her brothers?

What’s bad about that?

It led to a situation where their house was ruined, and their people destroyed.

The house manager had naturally witnessed the girl’s impressive abilities.

"Enough, don’t talk to me about this, who will lead us up the mountain?"

If they didn’t search even once, how would they explain themselves upon return?

Thinking about this matter, they had been somewhat careless.

If only they had secured the girl’s birth chart earlier and signed an indenture contract with her... Even if she fled to the ends of the earth it wouldn’t matter, her status would still be as Old Master Zheng’s concubine.

With that layer of constraint, they wouldn’t be having this trouble now.

Rong Zhimin glanced at his other nephews, seeing them all hiding far away, he felt furious.

He pointed at one of them casually, "You lead them."

The one he pointed to was the eldest son of the third branch of the Rong Family, who was just fourteen years old.

Naturally, the third brother and his wife were unwilling, but they had no choice since the two sons of the eldest brother had gone for compulsory service.

And the one at home had broken his leg and couldn’t move, laying at home.

Only their son was the eldest.

The named Rong Yuliang could only come out trembling with apprehension.

He really resented his eldest uncle in his heart.

The house manager glanced at him and without much ado, simply ordered, "Lead the way."

Rong Yuliang had previously pursued up the mountain and naturally knew the mountain path.

So he led these people toward the back mountain.

After they had walked a section of the mountain path, he said, "...We were shot with arrows by my cousin right here, and we didn’t go any further... Where my cousin went afterward, I really don’t know... She might have taken this mountain path..."

The house manager saw this mountain path and the few drops of blood on the nearby earth, it seemed the boy was telling the truth.

But they couldn’t just return like this.

"Keep going..."

When Rong Yuliang heard that they were to continue up the mountain, he was reluctant in his heart, but he dared not say no.

So, he hesitantly spoke up, "We can go a bit further, but once we reach the deep mountains there’ll be no path anymore, there are man-eating tigers in the deep mountains, and wolves..."

The deep mountains were only ventured into by his second uncle, other villagers dared not go.

In recent years, when some families had nothing to eat, they braved the deep mountains, and none who went came back, said to have been eaten by tigers.

Now, isn’t it the same for that formidable second uncle... wasn’t he killed by a tiger too?

He hoped they would abandon the idea.

Upon hearing of the tiger, the house manager thought of the previous rumors, but decided to let people search a bit more.

It made no sense that more than thirty grown men couldn’t surpass a girl.

"Keep moving up the mountain..."

At his command, the others immediately continued up the small path.

Rong Yuliang, having no other choice despite his unwillingness, had to go further up the mountain.

About half an hour later, there was no path ahead.

"...There’s no path," Rong Yuliang had just uttered these words when he heard the roar of a tiger.

All color drained from his face in an instant, "The, the tiger is coming..."

The house manager and his men naturally heard it too.

Their complexions changed drastically.

The more timid house servants immediately thought of running. He had elderly parents, and... he hadn’t even married yet! He hadn’t even experienced a woman’s touch, so why would he be willing to give up his life here?

So, he stutteringly spoke, "Man, manager, the tiger is coming, should we..."

The others naturally felt the same.

Especially as the roars of the tiger grew closer, their legs were already trembling uncontrollably.

The house manager was scared too!

Hearing the tiger’s roars, he stopped advancing, "Let’s go..."

What was the point of looking any further? To keep searching would just be delivering a meal to the tiger.

As soon as they heard his words, they immediately ran for their lives... fortunately, they were timely; otherwise, they would have been caught.

They descended the mountain in a very embarrassing manner.

The most unlucky was the house manager.

Amongist the group, he was the oldest and naturally the slowest runner.

Without being cautious, he even broke a leg.

If he hadn’t called out to a house servant in front, he would’ve probably been left on the mountain.
