Gou on the road of longevity

Chapter 4
Linquan City is located in the southernmost part of Liuzhou, and it got its name because there is a spring mountain in the territory.The city is not big, only tens of thousands of people.The terrain is surrounded by mountains and facing the sea, with undulating mountains in the territory.Because it faces the port, the economy is relatively developed.

In the Ruan's mansion and the living room,
Ruan Changping was sitting in the center, and on both sides of him were the old people who had worked in the Ruan family for many years and some of the main backbones of the family.

Today happened to be a family meeting.

Because of Ruan Houping's late return, the Ruan family sent their subordinates to sneak into Ye's house to find out.

Now, Ruan Changping and a group of people are anxiously waiting for the result.

"Will the uncle be in danger..."

"Yesterday, the man in black with the uncle didn't come back..."

"Now, it's going to change again..."

"I didn't see that the second master dared to sit on the seat, everything was kept silent..."

……

Ruan Changping looked at the people whispering, and he was not thinking about it, but he made some eye contact with his subordinates, and closed his eyes to rest.

At this time, the men who infiltrated came back, carrying Ruan Houping's body on their backs, and replied in a trembling voice: "The little one sneaked into Ye's house, and the Ye's house was empty. After searching in many ways, the young one found the master's body outside the study. And The younger one went into the study room and found the bodies of the Ye Family Patriarch, the guards and the Ruan Family Guards. Because of the limited ability of the young one, we had to bring the Patriarch's body back first."

"It must be the Ye family, the Ye family killed our Patriarch..." said a red-faced and white-haired old man next to him.

"According to my eyeliner, there are two groups of people in the Ye family, and they are going south and north respectively. We will send a team of elite soldiers to kill the remnants of the Ye family and avenge the old patriarch." A boy in bright clothes said bitterly Said.

"Before killing the remnants of the Ye family, we must choose the backbone. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a owner for a day. At present, I invite the second master to uphold justice." A tall man caught Ruan Changping's eyes Make a point, immediately stand up and say loudly.

"I support the second master. As the blood relative of the parents, the second master is also the uncle's younger brother. This seat must belong to the second master." The brightly dressed boy walked among the crowd and said excitedly.

The people present, looking around, had no interest in it, just bowed their heads in silence.

"Brother's revenge has not been avenged, how can I be in the mood to be the head of this family." Ruan Changping saw that no one expressed his opinion, and knew most of the attitudes, so he immediately evaded and said.

"Second Lord, you must be the head of this family. If anyone else is to be the master, I'm so brave!" The tall man immediately knelt down to show his loyalty.

"I support the second master!" A boy in bright clothes said, and immediately knelt down.

Looking at the current state, the others could only walk down the slope and kneel down to support Ruan Changping.

Ruan Changping cupped his hands, and said calmly: "Thanks to brothers, I am disrespectful. Now, pass on my order, divide the troops into two groups, hunt down the remnants of the Ye family, and avenge my elder brother."

In the past three days, the situation in Linquan City was turbulent, mainly because the whole family of the Ye family in the city was killed, causing a commotion.

During the three days, Linquan City seemed to have a lot of major events, and the sky changed, and it became the talk of the streets and alleys.

"The government colluded with the Ruan family to seek the Ye family's property, fields, and shops. That's why they posted a notice saying that the Ye family colluded with the bandits and killed the head of the Ruan family, so the family property can be seized openly..."

"My neighbor works in the government office, and recently got a lot of things from the Ye family. Now, I buy meat every meal, watching me die of envy..."

"It is said that the county magistrate is in full bloom, counting silver in the backyard every day..."

"Keep your voice down so that no one will hear you. The Patriarch of the Ye family is also a kind person, and he never expected to end up like this..."

……

But for three days, the Ye family was deserted and quiet, and also unusually empty.There was no one in the entire Ye family, and even the tables, chairs and benches were empty.

In the northeast corner of Ye's house, the servant's house basically remained the same.It turns out that those who are rich and powerful look down on them, and those who have no money and power can't get it.

After three days, Ye Mingqi opened the cellar from time to time to observe the situation outside.

In the dead of night, the lights of Ye's house had already been burned out, and the Ye's house under the moonlight looked even more eerie.

Ye Mingqi took the silver and dry food, because the clothes he wore at other times had the logo of the Ye family, only the clothes he wore during the Chinese New Year did not have the logo, and he would not let others see that he was from the Ye family.

Because the main entrance of the Ye family is for the big names of the Ye family, and servants such as Ye Mingqi can only go through the back door.In the back, Ye Mingqi found a hole in the corner, and sometimes sneaked out to buy some pastries and pancakes.Now, Ye Mingqi looked east and west, tiptoed, sneaked out of the dog hole, and slipped out of Ye's house.

After leaving Ye's house, the sound of small vendors buying and selling at night also made Ye Mingqi, who had been in the cellar for a long time, feel deeply cordial.

Now, in the past three days, Ye Mingqi has dark circles under his eyes, he has almost eaten all the dry food on his body, and with a few taels of silver in his pocket, looking at this city, he is so strange.

Now, Ye Mingqi feels that he has become a mouse in this city, unable to see the sun.He looked at the smell of fireworks in the long alleys of the city, envious, and more determined to find his parents.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingqi found a land temple that he often visited, and squatted in a corner of the temple, preparing to recharge his energy and escape here as soon as possible.Because, Ye Mingqi knew very well that the longer he stayed in the city, the more dangerous it would be. On the way out, he saw a notice from the government that read, "The Ye family colluded with bandits to kill the head of the Ruan family. Anyone with information who can provide clues to the government will be offered a reward." Seeing this reward order, Ye Mingqi deliberately avoided crowded places, picked small paths, and quickly slipped to the Earth Temple to hide.

However, Ye Mingqi looked at the Lord of the Earth and didn't know what to do next.Because his father Ye Weiyang didn't know if he could reach Xunyang City, so he hoped that Ye Mingqi would find a place to live and live well.

"The world is so big that there is no room for me; there is no time to reciprocate the love of parents." Ye Mingqi sighed unconsciously.

"Fuck, let fate!"

At this time, Ye Mingqi felt angry and thought of a solution that was not a solution.

While this might be an extremely bad idea, it's pretty unreliable!However, it is better than sitting in the earth temple and waiting to die.

Ye Mingqi knelt on the ground sincerely, and said in his mouth: "Disciple Ye Mingqi is now separated from his parents and has nowhere to go. I implore the Lord of the Land to show us the way..."

Afterwards, Ye Mingqi picked up the shoes on his feet, and said with his mouth: "Lord of the land, show me the way, let me find my parents..."

Then, Ye Mingqi threw the shoes into the air.

"Click!" One sound!
The shoe landed, and the toe pointed to a direction!
After Ye Mingqi knelt down and bowed three times, he thanked him sincerely.

The next day, the dawn broke and the breeze was intoxicating.

Ye Mingqi bought some steamed buns and other dry food for long-distance travel, and asked the hawker, and learned that there is a city in the south called Xunyang City.

As soon as the city gate opened, Ye Mingqi followed the flow of people and quickly left Linquan City, all the way south.
