Jinghong Tower

However, it didn’t take long for the little picture book in the eyes of the world to have an official name.

comic strip.

In order to let King Jin know what a comic book is, He Ran specially asked people to sell the comic strips to Pingshan and Zhending.

Not long after, the Zhending garrison sent the comic strip to Tang County as important information.

The King of Jin is now in Tang County. He has not been able to capture Baoding Prefecture so far, and the army has temporarily retreated to Tang County.

Seeing these two comic books, veins popped out on King Jin's forehead. What kind of bullshit is this? Ran Jun became the master of justice, and he and his Jin army became the villains in the comic strip!
There was even a close-up of him, where he was so angry that his nostrils breathed fire when he heard that Panjiakou had been lost.

I don’t know which artist painted his nose like a bull devil, with nostrils so big that they could pass a four-horse carriage side by side!

King Jin gritted his teeth and tore the two comic books into pieces.

But he didn't know that Yuan Gang was hiding in the corner and snickering, "The painting of my little flower basket is amazing!"
Hirayama and Shinada can also see these two comic books.

Comic books are easy to understand, so they can be bought in not only bookstores but also grocery stores.

It's a small book that can be tucked into your sleeve.

In order to popularize comic strips, He Ran set a very low price, only two cents.

Therefore, children can also use their pocket money to buy comic books.

He Mansion.

He Shuwei and He Shumei from the second room were also reading comic strips. The two brothers learned the moves and gestures on the comic strips while reading.

He Shuqiao looked at them enviously.

Finally, He Shuwei and He Shumei couldn't get enough of the drawings in the house. They put down their comics, one holding a wooden sword and the other holding a wooden knife, and hummed in the yard.

Seeing them going to the yard, He Shuqiao quickly took out a comic book and started reading.

Although the comic strips only cost two cents a copy, he couldn't afford them because he had no money.

The whereabouts of Mr. He and Mrs. Yan were both unknown. The old lady took the third room to the capital, leaving the second room to guard the old house, but the three children of the eldest room were left behind in Zhending.

The King of Jin occupied Zhending Mansion, and many families hid their gold and silver. The second wife found them and said it was not safe now, and asked them to give the eldest son's belongings to their second uncle for safekeeping.

The second sister He Shuting refused to hand it over, but the eldest brother He Shuming couldn't resist the earnest words of his second uncle and his second aunt, so he gave all the family money and the jewelry left by his mother to his second uncle for safekeeping.

The King of Jin did not burn, kill, and plunder as in the legend. Except for some big merchants, most people's money was saved.

However, when He Shuming went to the second master and his wife to ask for something, they refused to give it to them. Later, they simply said that in order to save the He family, all those things were sent to King Jin's men.

They knew they had been fooled, but what could they do?

He Shuting quietly went to find her maternal family, but was almost "sold" by her uncle and aunt.

They arranged a marriage for her, to be a concubine to an old man over fifty years old.

Over the years, Yan has provided a lot of support to her parents' family, but now, everything in the past seems like it never happened.

Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan forgot about Yan's help to them, and also forgot that He Shuting had not yet arrived. He Shuting escaped from her maternal home. She had nowhere to go and had no choice but to return to the He family.

At this time, they heard another shocking news. Grandma took Sanfang with her to follow the emperor to Jinling!
Everyone in the house is saying that the old lady and Sanfang will never return to Zhending. Jinling is so far away, how can they come back?
The disappearance of the eldest master had been reported to Zhending long ago.

He Shuming's last hope was shattered.

In the past, the family hired a teacher, and he had always studied with the teacher, but when the news of Mr. He's disappearance reached Zhending, the second master and his second wife, Mrs. Lin, resigned from the teacher, saying that the family was in trouble and could not afford a teacher.

He Shuwei and He Shumei both went to private school, as did He Shuming and He Shuqiao, but on the first day, they were bullied.

The students in the private school all knew that their mother was the abandoned concubine, and some even told the story that Yan entered the family during the period of filial piety.

When Yan was here, everyone only talked about these things secretly, but now that Yan is gone and Master He is gone, even the children know these things.

He Shuwei and He Shumei from the second room not only did not defend them, but instead started making noises with other students.

He Shuqiao, the youngest, ran home crying and refused to go to school again.

He Shuming didn't want to go either, he felt embarrassed, and he didn't even want to see anyone.

When He Shuting ran back from her uncle's house, she saw a dejected He Shuming and He Shuqiao who was peeking at comic books.

At this moment, He Shuwei ran over and snatched the comic strip from He Shuqiao's hand: "Shameless adulterer, who gave you the courage to peek at my comic strip? I'll beat you to death!"

He Shuwei was already twelve years old, and the eight-year-old He Shuqiao was no match for him. He Shuting rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. He Shuqiao had already been hit hard on the face.

"I'm not an adulterer, wuwuwu, I'm not."

He Shuqiao was changing his teeth. Before he could finish speaking, he spit out a bloody tooth.

When He Shuqiao saw the blood, he burst into tears.

Once, he was the youngest son of the eldest son. Apart from He Shuyuan, he was the one whom the Yan family loved the most.

He didn't know what an adulterer was, but he knew it was a curse word and he was not an adulterer.

He Shuting glared at He Shuwei: "Who do you think is the adulterer?"

"He is, and so are you. All of your eldest brothers are the sons of adulterers!" He Shuwei shouted.

The eldest uncle is a bad person. She always quarreled with her and bullied them because she was an official. She took away all the benefits of the family. Now it’s better. Both the eldest uncle and the aunt’s mother are missing. In this family, they are no longer there. No one can bully them anymore.

He Shuting slapped He Shuwei: "Listen, only He Shuyuan is the child of an adulterer, and none of us are. If you dare to say that we are the children of an adulterer again, I will..."

He Shuwei didn't expect that He Shuting would dare to hit him. He picked up the wooden sword and slashed at He Shuting. He Shuting dodged sideways, and a shadow suddenly appeared in his mind: "If you dare to bully us, I will tell my eldest sister, my dear eldest sister!"

She saw the comic strip that He Shuwei had taken away and thrown aside. Although she had never read it, she had heard people talking about it on the street and she knew what it was about.

She mustered up her courage: "Don't you know, the He Xiulong in the comic strip is my eldest sister's subordinate! As long as I tell her, she can kill you and throw you to the mountain to feed the wild wolves!"

"Bah! My mother said that your eldest sister has gone to prison and will never come out in this life." He Shuwei said. (End of chapter)
