Chapter 20 Are you crazy?

"I'm going to move the bullock cart away." Yang Jiye said hurriedly.

Ke Muqing only remembered when he mentioned the ox cart, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten everything on the ox cart."

He turned to direct his family, "You all go and help bring in the things you brought to grandpa."

Ke Muqing really forgot, but Yang Jiye and the others didn't. However, they saw that Ke Muqing had forgotten but deliberately didn't mention it. They wished that Ke Muqing didn't remember it until he got home.

The cart was full of things, things they took from home, plus things bought in the town, which made their hearts ache.

"It's all right when you come back, why do you have to bring things with you? Life in the countryside is hard, why do you kid spend money randomly?" The old lady took Ke Muqing's hand and said, "Tell them not to take it, and you can take it back by yourselves later."

"This rebellious girl has an easy life in the Yang family." Ke Xiucai answered, "She lives a happier life than the two of us, so don't worry about her. It's rare for a daughter to return to her parents' home empty-handed. What do you mean?"

Ke Xiucai was afraid that his eldest daughter would be told by his old wife, so he climbed up the pole and brought back a lot of things.

A rebellious girl is already difficult to discipline, but he doesn't want to spoil her anymore.

If it were the other two daughters who often return to their parents' homes, Ke Xiucai would never say these words. He is not the kind of person who cares about his daughters sending things to their parents' homes.

He simply couldn't stand the eldest daughter's virtue.

"Life is indeed not hard." Ke Muqing admitted frankly and smiled at Ke Xiucai. He happened to see Yang Shuangshuang coming in holding a wooden box, so Ke Muqing took it and handed it to the old lady.

"Mom, logically speaking, I shouldn't send back the things I've touched, but this ginseng is too precious." Ke Muqing said, "I originally wanted to send it back as it was yesterday, but something unexpected happened yesterday, so I had no choice but to cut some ginseng for Yang Sanqing. ”

"I wanted to buy a good one and send it to you, but ginseng with such good quality is rare. I asked Dr. Zhou, and he couldn't find such good ginseng at Mr. Zhou's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic for the time being."

"Furthermore, good ginseng can save lives at critical times, so my daughter shamelessly sent the rest back first. You two elders are getting older. If you don't worry about anything, just worry about 10,000 yuan. If you have it at home, I can feel more at ease."

"I think we're all part of the same family, so I'll explain it to your elders. Your elders won't blame me for being rude. I have to leave things in your hands for emergencies."

The old lady smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and her heart felt warm, "No wonder, no wonder, the one I gave you was originally yours, I just hope you can take good care of yourself, but you are a real child, so I sent it back again."

"How can I use such a good thing with my little injury? Isn't it overkill?" Ke Muqing didn't know the situation of the Ke family before he came, so he didn't prepare gifts according to each person.

Fortunately, the Ke family has not been divided yet, and the things sent to the house belong to everyone.

Ke Xiucai was just happy that the rebellious girl finally became sensible and stopped doing stupid things. When he suddenly heard that Yang Sanqing had used ginseng, he immediately became nervous.

"What happened to the fifth child of the Yang family?"

Because he married such a rebellious girl into the Yang family, Ke Xiucai felt guilty towards the Yang family.

Although he has not been in contact with Ke Muqing's daughter in these years, he always asks Ke Huanzhang to give gifts to the fifth child of the Yang family during holidays, which means that even if Ke Muqing remarries, in his eyes, the Yang family is his in-laws.

Yang Sanqing would return the gift every time.

In Ke Xiucai's eyes, although Yang Sanqing has no talent, he is also a good son with high quality.

Hearing Ke Muqing talk about the dangerous situation Yang Sanqing encountered last night, Ke Xiucai's heart skipped a beat, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing that your conscience is not darkened. You finally did something good." Ke Xiucai stroked his beard and finally showed a good face to this rebellious girl.

Ke Muqing smiled and said nothing. In the original owner’s memory, Ke Xiucai learned that his eldest daughter’s family had refused to save Yang Sanqing and his daughter. Ke Xiucai became so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Ke Xiucai's vitality was severely weakened, and he was facing famine and drought before he could cultivate himself well. In addition, he was old. Ke Xiucai died within a few days of the Ke family leaving Wangshan Town.

This is why Ke Muqing insisted on sending the ginseng back.

To be prepared, Ke Xiucai's body must not be as strong as it was at his age.

Finally getting a smile from Ke Xiucai, and taking advantage of his good mood, Ke Muqing said, "Dad, there is something I want to tell you alone."

Ke Xiucai nodded, "Come to the study with me."

Ke Xiucai's study was not big, with a window on one side and a bookcase in front of the window. On one side of the bookcase was a pot of white tea vying to be filled.

In front of the other two walls are two towering bookshelves, which are already filled with books. The small study room is very tidy.

After entering the study, Ke Xiucai poured himself a cup of tea first, as if to calm down his shock first, anticipating what the eldest daughter might say that would shock the world.

Ke Muqing also specially waited for Ke Xiucai to finish drinking water before speaking.

"Dad, didn't I go to the underworld this time? When Yang Daniu begged Lord Hell to kick me back, he even said something to me."

The tea cup in Ke Xiucai's hand shook, and he raised his eyes to glance at Ke Muqing, with something written in his eyes.

Let me see what else you can make up!

Ke Muqing really continued to make up stories for him with a serious and sincere face.

"Daniu said that Wangshan Town cannot stay here. Our county will be hit by a locust plague in June. There will be no rain in the entire county this year, and the people will not even be able to drink a sip of water."

"At that time, there will be turmoil everywhere, wars will continue, internal strife in the court and foreign invasions, vassal kings in various places will rise up, arrest young men everywhere and force them to serve as soldiers, and force the people in the jurisdiction to perform military service. There will be one bandit in ten miles and one bandit in ten mountains. The people will suffer unspeakably."

"Daniu said that if he wanted to find a chance to survive in these troubled times, he went south to Linzhou, Lingnan."

After Ke Muqing finished speaking, he quietly looked at the tea cup that made a clanging sound in Ke Xiucai's hand.

Look at this scholar, he is so shocked.

There were many things that Ke Muqing didn't dare to say. After all, this was an era of imperial power, and she didn't dare to discuss it randomly.

"Dad, I plan to sell the land at home, collect the money, and take the whole family south as soon as possible." Ke Muqing said, "Tell your mother to sort out the things at home as soon as possible, and exchange those that can be exchanged for money as soon as possible. We have to take advantage of the current period when food prices are not too high to secretly save more food."

"Selling land?" Ke Xiucai put the teacup on the table, "Are you crazy?"

"If you don't sell the land and have no money, how can a family go south? If you don't sell it at this time, those land deeds will become the most worthless waste paper in a short time."

Ke Muqing said, "Even if the father thinks that the daughter is crazy, the daughter will definitely do this. I also hope that the father can listen to the daughter's advice, make plans early, and go south with her."

Ke Xiucai sat stiff in his chair. He felt that his daughter's words were crazy, but he did not dare to dwell on the news he had overheard recently.
