Chapter 4: The Little Things in the County
Before you know it, it's the end of the year again, and the leaves of some trees begin to turn yellow, and some trees change their leaves directly, and a pile falls on the ground, and the branches soon reappear green.
These are common sights in and around the county.
However, at the end of the year in Annam-gun, the weather was particularly strange.
Normally, the rainy season is in June and July, and it rains continuously every now and then, but when the time enters August, the weather becomes extremely sunny.
Then, in August, September, and October, the last three months of the year, even if there was rain, it was only one or two at most, and it soon ceased to restore the cloudless sky.
But this year, it didn't rain in August, but in September, the rain that shouldn't have happened began to fall suddenly, and it didn't stop.
In the beginning, the people in the county town were still strange.
"Hey, it's raining at this time?"
"Good rain!"
Because it is suitable for relaxation, for leisure, for laziness, it is not excluded that some people spend all day in bed, like a sick man.
If Juxing Tower is not closed, it will definitely reach a higher level of popularity in rainy weather. Because rain can be relaxing, but it can also be lonely.
Do lonely people instinctively huddle together?
But the largest gathering place in the county town Juxinglou was closed, and in the past few years, although there are other places to replace the Juxinglou, but the pattern is not big in the end, and it is scattered around the county, here and there, and there is no longer the scene of the former Juxinglou "dominating the world".
As a result, many old customers of Juxinglou are often in high spirits in these new meeting places, and they can't raise their energy.
But it's okay.
Without them, there would be no less excitement.
A generation of new people replaces the old, which is an unchanging human scene.
For example, the original Qingshui City Zhuang family who recently moved into the county town, as well as the Ming family and the Shui family, who are in-laws with the banker, at this time there is a situation where the three families are mixed into one, especially among the juniors, this situation is very obvious.
As a newly emerging force in the county, it is particularly urgent for them to get to know the county as soon as possible and integrate into the county.
Therefore, they are often indispensable in various activity venues.
Of course, the juniors have been told by the elders again and again, low-key, low-key, you must remember to be low-key and low-key!
Which one dares to cause trouble casually, discount his legs, and close the firewood room.
Seriously, go back to your hometown in Qingshui City.
If it's more serious, you will be expelled from the family directly!
Those who can be allowed to enter the county town are already very few people, and under the strict orders of the elders at all levels, they are naturally honest and obedient, and the people in the other forces in the county town are also warned by the elders that the new family is better to provoke less.
Provoke them, no matter who suffers at that time, anyway, when you come back, there is no good fruit to eat, and I will be locked up for ten years, twenty years, Chinese New Year's Eve, and thirty years.
Just do you have enough energy?
Then go and cultivate!
Therefore, under the tacit understanding between the old and new forces, the dealer seems to have integrated into the county town without wind and waves.
For the dealer, it is not only the juniors who will come out to hang out, but also the elders, and they also have to wait and see.
And on this day, Zhuang Zhiqing, the elder of the Zhuang family, that is, the grandfather of Zhuang Mingtang and Zhuang Mingxuan, accidentally heard a person's name from Ersanxin friends.
Xu Tonghui.
This name only appeared once, and since then, it has been replaced by "Lord Xu".
And before that, Zhuang Zhiqing had heard of this "Lord Xu" many times, and also knew a lot of anecdotes about him, such as the earliest, he appeared in the county as the junior brother of the previous county guard, and later, the thing that I don't know if it's true or not, but it seems to have caused a sensation in the major forces of the entire county.
That's the matter of the four bigwigs of the county town being promoted to the heavenly rank at the same time.
This news didn't come out of nowhere in the first place, and anyone who knew anything about the practice knew that it was outrageous, and it didn't have any credibility at all.
But no one has ever come out to refute the rumors.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing involves both the former county guard, the Lanshui Sect, and the Medicine Master Hall, even if the people who are bold enough to the sky do not dare to spread anything false, they are looking for death by themselves, and they are afraid of a long life.
But now, this anecdote has been circulating, but no one has come out to stop it, what is the situation?
False?
It doesn't make sense that no one stops.
True?
That's!
Who can believe it!
If this kind of thing can be believed, then is it that I can sleep casually, and tomorrow I will wake up and be the heavenly step?
Therefore, in this extremely unreliable anecdote, a more reliable underground conclusion is that there are indeed one or two people among these people who have been promoted to the heavenly rank, such as the previous county guard Lord Xu.
The others, on the other hand, were shrouded in an aura by Lord Xu.
Anyway, these people have left the county town now, and it is estimated that they will not come to the county town again, and all they left for the county town is anecdotes.
"Xu Tonghui?"
How does this name sound so familiar to me?
Old man Zhuang Zhiqing thought with a frown.
He was now a cultivator of the Tongmai Realm, and there was no problem of memory loss and confusion, so he thought desperately, thought about it and thought about it, and finally remembered where he had heard of this name when he almost spread out his entire head and thought about it.
His unscrupulous grandson, when he left home, the family entourage he brought with him seemed to be called Xu Tonghui.
Back at home, Zhuang Zhiqing found someone to confirm again.
That's right, that entourage is called Xu Tonghui.
The coincidence of a name, there are more people in the world who have the same surname and the same name!
But Zhuang Zhiqing was somewhat interested in the "Lord Xu" named Xu Tonghui, and when he heard people talking about "Lord Xu" in the future, he paid attention attentively.
Then, one day, he heard another piece of news about the adult.
From beginning to end, the people of the county town did not know where he came from, but when he first appeared in the county town, there was a young man by his side, and the young man was said to be his nephew.
There was nothing in the first place, and no one could hear anything else.
But Zhuang Zhiqing is different.
All the clan elders of the dealer will not be the same if they hear this news. Hot e-books
They don't have preconceived notions that this is all there is to it, after all, the difference between the two is too great, and there is nothing else to stand on the side except for the two similarities of the name and "there is a boy by his side".
But at least there will be a very strange feeling in the heart, and that weirdness is like a small flame in the wind, which has been shaking and shaking, but it has always been extremely stubborn and refuses to extinguish.
Out of such a feeling and such a thought, in the days to come, Zhuang Zhiqing not only paid attention, but also took the initiative to inquire about the news about that Lord Xu.
But he didn't ask any more.
He didn't even know the name of the young man next to Master Xu.
"If you don't have a bad grandson, you don't know where you died!" Finally, thinking of the inexplicable eldest grandson, he was so angry.
If it was in the early years, as early as when the inferior grandson had not left the banker's house, he would be 100% angry and scolding, and there would be no other at all, let alone the feelings between grandparents and grandchildren.
But time is such a thing as a really wonderful thing.
After all these years, the awkwardness and competition between him and the inferior grandson at the beginning gradually passed, and what came to mind again was a lot of details when he and the inferior grandson got along.
The kid, for example, doesn't seem to be so bad.
In addition to talking less, Aixian, obviously a little bit and insisting on being a little adult, obviously he is his own grandfather, but he is not close to him, but with several other old relatives......
Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything else bad?
On the contrary, I vaguely remembered that the inferior grandson had also said something to him before and after.
And those words, it seems...... Seem...... Possible......
It inspired and helped him to enter the Tongmai later?
Cut!
Bah!
How could it be!
The old man is really old and confused to think like this!
But thinking of the great elder Zhuang Zhihe and the promotion level, the patriarch Zhuang Zhiyuan was promoted to the ground level, and the clan elder Zhuang Zhixin was promoted to the ground level, these three were all close to the inferior grandson at that time.
And the inferior grandson seemed to be only the closest to these three at that time, and there was no fourth!
He remembers this very well!
And now, it is these three old guys in the clan who have broken through the Enlightenment Realm and advanced to the ground level one after another.
Why do you shock people's jaws?
Because for many years, there has been no such precedent in the clan!
And except for these three people, no one else has advanced to the ground level, and there is not even a little sign of promotion, which is far from it!
Could it be that the inferior grandson was inexplicably able to see early on which person would be able to make a big breakthrough in his cultivation in the future, and then deliberately got close?
That's not right.
If he remembers correctly, it wasn't the bad grandson who took the initiative to get close to these people at all, but these old guys shamelessly took the initiative to get close to the bad grandson!
I thought about the old, and then I thought about the small.
His good grandson is better than the bad grandson, I don't know how many or how many good grandsons, if he remembers correctly, his good grandson is very close to the bad grandson, even closer than his grandfather!
It doesn't seem too strange that they are brothers after all.
His good grandson is now practicing in the spiritual realm.
In addition to a few juniors who practiced in the spiritual realm, there was also one person, Zhuang Zaiyao.
If he remembers correctly, Zhuang Zaiyao seems to be the only one who was close to their door in the early years, well, close to the mother of the inferior grandson!
That's right, the mother of the inferior grandson.
His son-in-law.
He didn't have much to say about his son's wife, neither good nor bad anyway, looking for an ordinary woman, in the past few years in the family, she didn't have any criticism or praise.
Anyway, like most other women, that's it.
But when the family arrived in the county town, inexplicably, she was accepted by the Lanshui Sect and began to enter the path of cultivation.
Funny!
A woman who has lived half her life, a woman who has never known what cultivation is, was taken by the Lanshui Sect, a powerful force in the county, and taught to practice?
Before, Zhuang Zhiqing's opinion on this, Lan Shuizong just looked at his good grandson, so he deliberately thought of a way to please.
But the junior of the dealer who has entered the spiritual realm to practice is not the only one who is his good grandson?
Why didn't I see which other junior's family, whether it was my father or my mother, being accepted by which sect?
Zhuang Zhihe, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Zhuang Zhixin.
Zhuang Zaiyao.
His good grandson, his son-in-law.
These were people who were close to his inferior grandson.
And himself.
He and the inferior grandson are naturally not close, but a relationship cannot be erased, he is the inferior grandson's own grandfather!
All these recollections do not prove anything.
Nothing can be proven!
But Zhuang Zhiqing's heart was weird, and he couldn't believe that the changes in these people over the years had anything to do with the inferior grandson, but on the contrary, these people had a lot to do with the inferior grandson.
Including himself.
"If you don't have a bad grandson, you don't know where you died!"
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any clue, and in the end, Zhuang Zhiqing could only spit like this again.
If that bad grandson comes back, he will definitely slap him in the face.
He was then punished to kneel for at least half a day.
As soon as I left home, it was so many years, and then I didn't say paper letters, and I didn't even send half a message to my family.
Not a bad grandson!
