Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 189 The Intuition of the Richest Man

The sun is shining.

Hearts stood dumbfounded in front of a two-person stone tablet.

The word "Tongyuan" is written on the stele, and there is a tall fence gate obliquely in front.It is the entrance to Tongyuan.

Although she had imagined countless possibilities, Heart never imagined that what would be presented in front of her would be such a scene.

Holding her nose and breathing carefully, she walked into Tongyuan step by step.

On the main street, there are scattered shops with open doors on both sides. The houses are low and simple, but most of the shops have closed doors. There is a pile of dust and stones in front of the door, obviously no one has lived there for a long time.

Along the main street all the way down, there are many arterial streets on the left and right, and more alleys and alleys on the main street, which are connected with each other, and houses or shops are located on them.

On both sides of the street, there is a ditch covered with stone slabs. Every hundred steps, there will be an opening. From this opening, you can see the ditch full of filth.

In some places, due to exposure to the sun, the ditches swelled, and the dirt overflowed into the streets. All the excrement of people, livestock and poultry, including dead rats, can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Stinks.

Heart couldn't think of any other words that could better describe the scene in front of her.She even felt that if she stayed any longer, she would suffocate to death.

The whole Tongyuan was permeated by this stench.Only now did she finally understand why the driver had to cover his face, and all the scattered pedestrians on the street were covered.

But the stench that came out of the ground, fermented for an unknown number of years, and exposed to high temperature, even if you pinch your nose, it seems to be able to penetrate the nasal cavity through the cracks in the skin.

Heart felt like he could not breathe.She tried her best to resist the urge to escape, and stood on the main street, looking at everything in sight.

A man was walking towards him, his face was covered, and he couldn't see clearly. He was leading a cow behind him. The cow stopped after walking a few steps, then plopped a pile of shit on the street, and then wagged its tail to relax. away.

Seeing the filth smoking, Hongtao couldn't hold it back, bent over and retched. After vomiting for a long time, she heard someone say, "Brother Zhang, are you taking pigs for breeding?"

Hongtao stood up, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at the source of the voice. A middle-aged man was leading a sow and replied with a smile, "Yes."

Another person said: "When the piggies are born, leave me a pair."

Brother Zhang responded with a smile again, and led the pig past Heart.

The heart stared at the round pig's butt like an evil spirit, swaying it until she was far away, then she looked back and sighed:
Tongyuan is indeed a place that can make people frightened.

Back at Tao Yaju, Hong Tao picked most of the flowers in the yard, soaked in the wooden barrel for more than half an hour, and then felt that her nose was comfortable, then dressed, and came to Qingyu dejectedly.

"Junior Sister Head, I may have to trust you." She couldn't stay in such a place for a moment, let alone be a housekeeper there, hehe~ For the first time, she felt that she had overestimated herself.

Zhuifeng was full of doubts when the hearts were in a hurry to pick flowers all over the yard as soon as the hearts came back. At this time, he was even more curious and surrounded him and asked, "What's wrong? That Tongyuan is so bad?"

Hongtao laughed stiffly, "It's bad enough to describe it. I would call it frightening, even scarier than the Devil's Den."

Seeing that she was really terrified, Shi An said, "I'll go see Zhang Dongli and ask him to come forward and change your place for you."

Qing Yu shook her head and said, "Zhang Dongli, I have other plans, and it is not appropriate to use him for the time being."

Then he said to Hongtao: "Second Senior Sister, in fact, I have already made a divination for you. 'Fire and Wind Cauldron', the rotten qi is dispersed by the wind, and the new qi is reborn when it meets the fire. This is the meaning of Dingxin.

That place looks like an orphaned rotting mouse, but in fact, it eliminates rot and regenerates, and it hides great opportunities. "

Heart's face collapsed, with a sad face, "I am such a beautiful and dignified girl, isn't this just 'a flower stuck in cow dung'?"

Qingyu huh. After a while, smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

At that time, in the Si family compound, Si Chaoren, who was checking the account books, was interrupted by the chief executive, Yuan.

"Master, you asked my little one to inquire about it the day before yesterday, and I have inquired clearly."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Si Chaoren temporarily put down the account books.

"The Taoyaju family came to Yinzhou two months ago. They were refugees fleeing famine in Shuzhou. Now they have settled in Jiuquli." After Si Yuan finished speaking, he paused, and then said solemnly. : "This family, from the adults to the eight-year-old child, is not easy."

Si Chaoren became a little curious, "Tell me in detail."

Si Yuan responded and told the news he had found out in detail.

"Their family has only been in Yinzhou for two months. They bought [-] acres of land, mortgaged eight houses, bought a house in Jiuquli, and built a sensational mountain pavilion."

Si Chaoren was suspicious, "Didn't you say they came here as a refugee? Where did they get the money?"

"This is what makes them so scary. The little ones still can't believe it." Si Yuan continued: "They bought [-] acres of land as soon as they came. Those lands are what is possible by that... My uncle, all the medicinal materials are planted.

The second daughter of their family is in her early ten years old, but she is quite good at Fengshui. At first, she built a private house for a wealthy family, and it should have earned some money. Then they built a mountain pavilion and took in twenty rich children. Everyone in the inner circle knows that each person repairs 30 taels, and this is 600 taels.

Afterwards, they mortgaged eight more houses, and they leased them out immediately after the mortgages were completed. The net income was more than [-] taels a year.And just got the news today, that girl actually became Fang Ya, but was assigned to Tongyuan. "

Si Chaoren was taken aback, "That little girl, is she so powerful?" She was in her early ten years, not as old as his youngest son.

"It's not enough." Si Yuan continued, "The eldest son of their family, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, has become famous in the inner city. It is said that many officials are waiting in line for his fortune-telling. Counting ten gold, even if you have money, you can't get it.

What's even more amazing is that the house that this family bought was originally the house of He Mengyou, the second eldest son of the He family. It was later haunted by ghosts, so they asked Fang Ya to sell it, but they bought it. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. "

Si Chaoren was really surprised. He thought it was only related to the He family, but now he heard something wrong, but he couldn't tell, so he thought about it, asked Si Yuan to step down, and then came to Si Denghan's house. study.

Si Denghan is practicing calligraphy.Si Chaoren knocked on the door, "Father."

Si Denghan didn't stop, "Have you read the account books? What's the problem?"

"It's not about the account books, it's another strange thing." Si Chaoren entered the room and told Si Denghan the news he just heard.

".I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell. Father, the man who ran away from the He family, is he really so powerful?"

After listening to his son's words, Si Denghan stopped writing, with a serious expression on his face, "Are you sure he is the missing dozen or so members of the He family?"

"It should be true. Wen Zhi heard it with his own ears, but he seems to have lost his memory. Anyway, hearing that tone, he has no plans to return to He's house. Wen Zhi also suggested that I take this person for my own use, so I let him Si Yuan went to inquire about it. I didn't expect such a result."

Si Denghan pondered for a long time before he frowned and sighed: "Yinzhou, there is a big trouble here."

"Big trouble?" Si Chaoren was confused.

Si Denghan said solemnly: "This family is playing a big game of chess. There are five members of the family, one is based on agriculture, one is based on wealth, one is based on the people, and one is based on officials. The remaining one , most likely the person who played this game of chess.

They probably want to swallow the entire Yinzhou. "
