The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The two of them were killed, and the two were killed.

Gu Liang never thought that before he could even think of how to retaliate, the Guanjia Kiln Factory suffered such retribution, and they really deserved it.

After this incident, Gu Liang became more cautious and no longer dared to go out alone. He could find a chance to escape this time, but what about next time?

Gu Liang was too weak to fight against several people even with a crossbow in his hand. If other people also had weapons in their hands, he would be very good if he could exchange one for one.

So, Gu Liang asked Old Master Xu to find some capable people who knew him well to ensure the safety of himself and his family. Although they were safe in the village, their family could not stay at home all their lives, and someone had to protect them when they left the village. Moreover, given their family's conditions, it would be no problem to support more people.

After almost a month, Old Master Xu sent a message saying that he had someone who was very suitable for Gu Liang's needs, and asked him to go over and check it out in person. It was okay if he was not suitable.

For this reason, Gu Liang made a special trip to Xu's house, only to find out why he was asked to come over first. You know, Gu Liang had not left Lanxi Village for a month.

The people that Xu's house wanted Gu Liang to see were a pair of brothers. They were asked by an old friend of the rich man Xu. They had joined the army and fought in wars before. They were strong and very suitable for protecting the family. The reason why Gu Liang was asked to come in person was that these two people had committed crimes and been in jail before.

After learning this, Gu Liang was also very surprised. Although he lacked protection, he did not dare to use this person who had been in jail. In ancient times, unlike modern times, those who could be imprisoned by the government were generally those who committed serious crimes, and they were too lazy to care about ordinary trivial matters.

Later, Old Master Xu also explained that these two people were imprisoned for killing people, but there were also reasons. The two brothers had some savings after joining the army, and they wanted to go home to honor their mother and marry a wife. But when they got home, they found out that their mother had been drained of water from the family's fields by the village head a few days ago, so they went to the village head's house to argue. But the village head's family saw that she was an old woman alone at home, and her son was not around, so they not only refused to admit it, but also insulted her.

Since the two brothers were not at home, their mother could only endure this filthiness. But enduring once does not mean peace, and taking a step back will not make the world wider. In the following days, the village head's family not only continued to drain the water from their fields, but also used a hoe today and a shovel tomorrow. In half a year, one-third of his family's field was gone.

Their mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to the village head's house to make a scene, but was beaten out of the house by the village head's family, and her clothes were torn on the spot by the village head's wife. That night, their mother couldn't stand this humiliation, thinking that her son didn't know when he would come back, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she hanged herself at home. It wasn't until a week later when her body was smelly that it was discovered.

When the brothers came back, only the dilapidated house and the inconspicuous grave on the roadside were left.

After learning the truth, the two brothers went to the village head to argue, but the arrogant words and unapologetic attitude of the village head annoyed them, and they killed the village head in anger.

Later, the village head's family used their connections to make them go to jail, compensate for their land, and become slaves.

After listening to them, Gu Liang accepted the two brothers without saying a word. Such two men with blood were exactly what he needed.

After negotiating the conditions and monthly wages, Gu Liang took the two back home. The eldest of them was called Jiang Lei and the second was called Jiang Sen. They were only one year apart and looked not much different.

Because they had just arrived home, Gu Liang could not let them live in the stone cave, so he could only let them live in the east courtyard of their home.

The east courtyard was originally arranged for Li Donghua and her two daughters to live together. But since the two Jiang brothers moved in, it would be difficult for Li Donghua to live here. First, the brothers were considered lowly, and he let her live with them, fearing that Li Donghua would worry that her family would look down on them. Second, it was not easy for two daughters to live together.

So Gu Liang arranged Li Donghua to live in a row of houses under the stone cave. Since it was repaired, it has been used as a warehouse to store food and wine jars. Li Donghua was not easy to come to the stone cave before because the most important things of the Gu family were in the stone cave. Since Li Donghua helped Gu Liang escape and was injured and almost lost her life, the Gu family has regarded her as a family member. The people of the Gu family are relieved to live here, and there are people from the Gu family in the stone cave no matter day or night, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

When the Jiang brothers came, Gu Liang asked them to follow

He went to Guanyao Town with his own hands. He still had some things to deal with, and he also wanted to make some weapons for them to use.

After spending a few days with the Jiang brothers, Gu Liang felt that they were still very reliable. They did not have the violent temper of being a soldier and the decadence after being imprisoned as he had imagined. On the contrary, the two brothers were very easy-going and often made Erni and Chunni laugh.

When he arrived in Guanyao Town, the first thing Gu Liang did was to go to Fengkelai for a meal. Fengkelai saved his life, allowing him to be sure that he was in the Guanjia Kiln Factory and escape from death.

Gu Liang ate the roast chicken in the store and felt that this roast chicken was more delicious than all the ones he had eaten before. Gu Liang leaned against the window of Fengkelai and looked quietly in the direction of the Guanjia Kiln Factory.

At a glance, the largest area burned was the key area of ​​the kiln factory, followed by the place where Gu Liang was imprisoned, which had begun to be partially rebuilt.

During this period, Gu Liang told the truth to Old Master Xu and made some connections through the Xu family. Although he could not bring the housekeeper to justice, at least he could prevent them from acting rashly again. However, Gu Liang did not guess that there was someone else behind the housekeeper's kiln factory.

"Master Liang, long time no see. I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!"

Just when Gu Liang was thinking about what happened recently, Deng, the owner of Tianqing Kiln, came to him. Recently, Deng, the owner of the kiln, has had many happy events. With Gu Liang as a big customer, his kiln factory has had a lot of good business and its reputation has also grown.

Since the housekeeper's kiln factory caught fire, it has brought hope to these shops that have been living under the shadow of the housekeeper's kiln factory. Since the housekeeper cannot take orders for the time being, the sales of other pottery shops have also increased rapidly, and they are very busy.

According to Deng, the housekeeper's kiln factory was severely affected by the disaster this time, and several kilns were destroyed. If it wants to recover as before, it will take a year or two to recover.

Gu Liang specifically asked Wang, the steward of the Guanjia Kiln Factory. After hearing that the fire started in his place, the Guanjia Master also held him accountable without hesitation and put him in jail.

Gu Liang came this time mainly to discuss a big order with the kiln owner Deng. Seeing that there was only half a year left, Gu Liang always felt that the things he stockpiled were not enough, and there were more and more people in his family, so he wanted to get some more large jars to store water.

As for the Guanjia Kiln Factory, Gu Liang had no time and energy to deal with them. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even the Xu family could not easily destroy their family, let alone the Gu family. Gu Liang could only take advantage of the Guanjia Kiln Factory's serious injury this time and cooperate with the Tianqing Kiln Factory to squeeze out the market of the Guanjia Kiln Factory.

After cooperating for so long, Gu Liang also knew that the quality of pottery from other families in Guanyao Town was no worse than that of the Guanjia Kiln Factory, and even in many places it was better than theirs, but it had always been covered by the reputation of the Guanjia Kiln Factory and was not known to others. Gu Liang used his identity as the biggest customer of Deng Kiln Master to hope that Tianqing Kiln would make a move. Deng Kiln Master also readily agreed. After all, his family was originally a rival of Guanjia Kiln Factory, and it would be a hundred benefits for him to take over Guanjia Kiln Factory.
