TRANSMIGRATING TO THE ANCIENT TIMES WITH BUSINESS MIND Running away

Continuation***

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

*Looked down at Yuan Zi*

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Do you remember where my parents’ house was?

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Your grandparents?

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Nodded slowly*

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

In the mountain behind the village.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

But… it’s old. No one goes there anymore.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Is it still standing?

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

I think so. They said it’s haunted.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

*Almost laughed* Haunted. Perfect.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Clutched his sleeve tighter*

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

Father… are we going to go there?

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Yes... we're leaving.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

But… but Uncle will be mad... *whispered*

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

You’re the one who cooks. You clean everything. If we go…

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Then they can figure it out themselves.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

But—

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

*Knelt* *meeting his eyes*

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Listen to me. I am not staying here to be their servant. And I am not letting them sell me or touch you again.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Swallowed* But if they find us—

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Then I’ll make sure they regret it.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

You’re… different.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Well, I’m tired of being what they wanted me to be.

He stood, swaying a little from the pain in his head.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Gather what you can carry.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

We’re leaving before dawn.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Hesitated but nodded* Okay...

Yuan Yun looked around the dim, shabby room.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

💭 I’d rather live in a haunted ruin than be a servant in this place one more day.

Yuan Yun started rolling up the thin straw mat, checking for anything they could take.

As he lifted the corner, something clinked against the floor.

He frowned and peeled the mat back. A small cloth pouch lay hidden underneath. He picked it up and felt the weight—coins. Not many, but enough for a few meals.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

What’s this?

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Shifted nervously* I… I hid them.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

You hid them?

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Nodded* *staring at his bare toes*

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

You always gave Aunt the money when you sold things. So… I took a little each time. Just in case she didn’t feed us.

Yuan Yun looked at the pouch, then at the boy.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

You’ve been doing this all along?

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Voice was tiny* Only a little. So she wouldn’t notice.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

*A strange ache settled in Yuan Yun’s chest*

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Smart..

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Looked up and surprised*

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

We’ll use this to buy foods...

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

*He tied the pouch to his belt* If she wants it back, she can try to catch us.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*Eyes widened* Father… you’re really not afraid anymore?

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

I’m still afraid...

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

I just don’t care. I’d rather be scared and free.

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

*Ruffled the boy’s hair*

Yuan Yun [Omega] MC

Come on. Get your things. We leave as soon as it’s dark.

Yuan Zi [Unknown Gender|Son of Yuan Yun]

*nodded*
