As soon as the voice fell, a thick male voice came from nowhere, "Do I owe you anything? Take my medicinal bath every time you come here. Can you buy the medicinal materials for free?"

After a while, a lean old man stooped out of a low house.

There was still smoke rising from the house, and as soon as the door was opened, the smoke followed it out of the house.

"Hey, I'm making some medicinal ingredients. It seems I've saved a lot this year. Just in time, give me a drink. My body is getting worse and worse. I'm old."

They were all born with the same status, and naturally they all had some family skills.

The man in front of me, whose surname is Li, is a descendant of the line of imperial doctors.

They have grown up together since childhood, and they all know what each family is capable of.

She came here mainly to find him.

"What kind of relationship do we have? How do we say we owe something? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. Based on our relationship, taking a medicinal bath is nothing. Just give me some of your Rong Yang Pill." Grandma Shang is so shameless.

It really needs to be as thick as it needs to be.

Lao Li was almost angered to death by her words.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

"Get out." With a long roar, Lao Li walked out of the house: "You can't change your shameless temper, right?"

Seeing the lean old man coming out, Grandma Shang came to him like Tao Feng.

"Oh, don't be stingy. We are all good friends who have experienced life and death. We have to help each other, otherwise one of us will die."

At this time, a figure came rushing from the back mountain, and there was the sound of dragging objects while walking.

"It's over."

Seeing this, the two hurriedly ran out.

It's impossible not to run. The person coming down the mountain is a fierce beast. If you don't pay attention, you may hurt yourself.

As the two of them expected, no, as soon as they ran out of the backyard door, there was a loud bang at the foot of the back hill.

"Why are you two running away? I have never seen anyone more cowardly than you two." The angry voice of an old man with flowing white hair was full of dissatisfaction.

Grandma Shang is naturally afraid of this guy.

He has been indifferent since he was a child, and nothing good will happen as long as he is with him.

You can always get into a fight with others when you go out.

"Hey, savage, you are going up the mountain again." That's right, Grandma Shang called people savages.

"What will everyone eat if I don't go up the mountain? Can I just rely on the black market at the foot of the mountain to exchange for the three melons and two dates? It's not enough for me to stuff my teeth."

"Then the gap between your teeth is quite big." Lao Li looked disgusted.

There are only four of them here, and their monthly rice consumption is equivalent to that of a family of more than a dozen.

"What did you say?" The white-haired old man Zhang rubbed his hands, his finger bones making a crackling sound.

The voice seemed to be saying, say it again if you dare.

"nothing."

Grandma Shang didn't care about their conversation for a long time. She focused all her attention on the animal carcasses that Old Man Zhang brought down the mountain.

"What a good thing. I haven't eaten this high-quality sika deer for some years. We don't have this stuff in the back mountains, right? Are you going into the mountains again this time?"

After a few tugs, Grandma Shang's voice sounded just as the two were about to fight.

Lao Li was the first to bend down and run to Grandma Shang's side.

Why can four men and one woman get along so well with each other? It's because none of them regard Grandma Shang as a woman.

In their hearts, she is more terrifying than men.

Although, there is no talent, no martial arts, and no virtue.

But it was because of such a person that he defeated all of them when he was young.

Maybe she doesn't have any brothers to support her at home, so everyone can understand her being so savage.

I understand, but no one proposed to marry her.

The five families complement each other, and no one without them would be able to survive the situation alone.

Passed down from generation to generation, their relationship is closer than that of biological brothers.

No one can bully them into going.

"That's right, if you don't go to the deep mountains, you won't be able to get the best goods." The old savage man looked proud and began to brag about his great achievements in the mountains.

I don't know if the two people surrounding the sika deer are listening, but there is obvious moisture at the corners of their mouths.

It was the old master who came over and the three of them were able to stay away from the sika deer carcass.

"Clean up and don't attract wild beasts."

The five of them get together every three months.

One is to see if everyone is okay, and the other is to exchange personal information.

Although they live in seclusion here, they naturally have their influence outside.

The Shang family is one of the chefs.

Naturally, the job of cooking was left in the hands of Grandma Shang. A sika deer, except for the parts she wanted to keep, made one-third of the meal.

This shows how amazing the food intake is.

"Is there anything going on outside this time?" At the dinner table, five people sat together. When they were almost done eating, the white-haired old man Zhang started to ask.

Among the five people, only his family was least affected, and his family also had the most prosperous people.

But just in the past two years, many of his peers or juniors were implicated.

Whatever the reason, a lot of things go wrong.

He is here just because he was the young head of the Zhang family. After his parents died, he was elected to take over the affairs of the family.

When the war broke out, if he hadn't decisively joined the domestic factions and selected the right personnel, the Zhang family would not know what would have happened under the war.

After donating all the family property, the huge Zhang family was dissolved.

Now there are only a few main lines that are connected together.

"No, it's getting worse and worse. My grandson's wife's parents were killed, which is comparable to the Qing government back then." There was some inexplicable light flowing in Grandma Shang's eyes.

"Do you think this is long-term or short-term?" Old Li also had a look of worry on his face.

Only the old man was calm, as if he knew such an incident would happen.

Grandma Shang sighed, "I also hope it was someone's action, but now it seems that that person may not be able to suppress the jumping of those people. I heard that the person in charge is his wife."

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

If it's something else, don't talk about it, they won't feel so uncomfortable.

If it was that person, they wouldn't feel so good about it.

Back then, they put everything on him personally, but in the end he did not disappoint everyone and led everyone to drive out the invaders.

But how long has it been now? He...
This result is something they are unwilling to accept, or in other words, they are unwilling to hear or see.

"He's old, he's old. He suffered a lot of injuries back then. I'm afraid he's powerless now. I just don't know if the others will come forward." Mr. Li picked up the wine glass in front of him and put a sip of wine in his mouth. , letting the wine irritate his throat.

"Who is it? They are all the people who followed him all the way. They have to look at the Buddha's face even if they don't look at the monk's face. His wife is among them. How can they control it? How can they overthrow it?"

Lao Zhang is not a reckless man, he is naturally wise.

Otherwise, the Zhang family's huge family business would not be preserved.

The old Taoist also sighed.

"I'm afraid it's going to be more difficult than you think. They eliminated dissidents and consolidated their power. Now they have begun to slowly exclude that person." The news given by the old Taoist was even more frightening.

"How dare they?" the four asked in unison.

Naturally, I was also shocked by the news.

"Why don't you dare? Money and power touch people's hearts."

The old Taoist ate the dishes with a nonchalant expression. They could only enjoy this kind of craftsmanship for a few days in three months.

Unlike before, you can eat as much as you have money.

"Seeing that the world is getting better and better, but their power has been divided, and the money belongs to everyone, not to any one person. The country is so huge, who can define the wealth?"

Once you have settled down, you will naturally shift from the general to the personal.

They are just puppets pushed out by money and power, and there are thousands of people with this idea standing behind them.

Some are in high positions, some are among the people, etc.

Such people are definitely not unique.

"All we have to do is wait. There is one person I still believe in. If he can stand up, or if he can withstand their suppression, then we will welcome the light, the real light."

The old Taoist's words were very fantasy, but they also believed in his words.

"Who?"

The old man didn't say anything, but dipped his finger in wine and wrote the person's last name on the table.

Seeing this word, the four of them were shocked, "I know him, I came with him back then."

"Yes, he is the only one who has no selfish motives. His selfishness is deep, but he is different. He only cares about the people."

"Did you see it back then?"

Listening to the old Taoist's words, Grandma Shang had a look of confusion on her face, "But if you can see it, why do you want to put all the treasure on that person?"

If it were her, she would naturally vote for the person she was more optimistic about.

"He needs to grow, he needs someone to step forward, he can't succeed alone." Lao Dao understood her thoughts.

"If there wasn't someone standing in front of him, given his character, do you think he could survive until now?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was not stupid and understood them all.

"Yeah, he can't play with those people."

"Well, it seems that as the old Taoist said, we can only live a hard life for a few more years." Lao Litou looked unhappy.

They are all children from rich families, and life is indeed hard for them now.

The meal was tasteless till the end.

Fortunately, everyone had to fill their stomachs before talking.

Grandma Shang asked Lao Litou to take medicine and take a bath.

After a good sleep, you can have the energy to replenish their bodies the next day, right?

the other side.

Jian Qianqian's childhood life was not so good.

Although her grandma was not at home, she did a big thing, but after the incident, her excited heart slowly calmed down.

As soon as she calmed down, she realized how hard her life was since her grandmother was not at home.

First, the food is not to my liking.

What did you eat?
Pig food?
Secondly, there was no one to argue with, and the house was too quiet, which made her a little uncomfortable.

"Grandma, when will you come back?"

In his hand, he was playing with some knobs that he had found out somewhere, and his eyes were looking at the blue sky through the branches and leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus.

Even though there were white clouds chasing her in the sky, changing in various shapes, she still felt empty in her heart.

After just a few days together, she had already regarded her grandmother as her spiritual support.

She didn't know how long she had been chanting, but her stomach made a growling sound.

The jade hand that was playing with it paused, and then she stroked her belly.

"I'm hungry, oooh, I'm hungry again."

She doesn't want to eat the pig food she made, she wants to eat the delicious food made by her grandma.

Even clear porridge has a different taste. Unlike her, clear porridge is really clear porridge, except that it tastes like rice and water.

She also wanted to eat outside, but the food outside was not only more delicious than what she cooked, but it couldn't compare with her grandma's.

Wow, grandma, don’t you miss your dear grandson-in-law?

No amount of wealth can soothe Jian Qianqian's sad belly now.

When she was hungry, she had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen to feed her stomach.

If she didn't fool him, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

Just as she entered the kitchen, two sneaky figures flashed outside the wall of her house.

"There are people living here. Don't go in. Let's go to the back alley. No one lives there." An inaudible female voice stopped the man who was about to climb over the wall.

"What are you afraid of? It's such a big yard. How can we just find a room and be discovered? Even if we are discovered, so what, she's just an old woman."

The man's words are so powerful, but don't stop.

Why stop?

It’s not that I’m afraid of death.

"I'm not afraid of the dead old woman inside, but I'm afraid that you will be worried. Let's go, we don't have much time. Your ghost will come back later." The man's voice was full of obscenity, and his restless hands were also full of vulgarity. Making trouble in women.

Jian Qianqian didn't notice it at first, but she was such a powerful person. It was only because those two people's words disgusted her that she paid attention to them.

"Is this a melon to eat?" Jian Qianqian picked up a sweet potato that had been cold for a long time and looked for it.

After a while, she found the two people who had just spoken.

They were so courageous that they actually went to the small forest behind her house.

Afraid that she could not hear or see clearly, Jian Qianqian moved her position, and soon she occupied a high position. Not only could she hide her figure, but her sight could also be unobstructed to see the two people in the small forest.

"My dear, let me kiss you. I've missed you so much that I finally waited until that damn old lady of yours went to visit relatives."

The man sealed the woman's small mouth with his disgusting mouth.

Soon I found the sound of gurgling water.

Jian Qianqian was shocked when she saw it.

She had seen that woman before. She lived in this alley. Her family was in good condition and she lived in the front yard of a second-entry courtyard.

She had seen her at the entrance of the courtyard before when she went out. She was sitting alone at the entrance of the courtyard doing needlework.

"It smells so good, so sweet." After the man had kissed her enough, he let go of the woman, and then smacked his lips, "It would have been nice if we had left before, but it's a pity that your parents don't like my family."

When the man dealt with the woman, he was still muttering dissatisfied.

"Then who's to blame? Who told you not to put away the things the master gave you back then and use them for gambling? If you can't come up with the betrothal gift, my family won't marry me to you." There was resentment in the woman's eyes.

If he hadn't gambled away all the money back then, she wouldn't have been sold to such a family by her family.

Well now, she is married, but he actually dares to come to her.

Naturally, she didn't agree with it at first. She wanted to live a good life with her man.

But that family didn't treat her as a human being, so she embarked on this path of no return.

"It's not bad now. His family is not good to you, but they are good to our sons. If you follow me, you may not have the life we ​​have now. You don't know my family's identity." (End of Chapter)
