Chapter 248: The Future Land Lord
"No, I've been here for decades, and I'm used to it, but I won't be used to it if I change places. ”
The seventh uncle waved his hand and rejected the kindness of Su Jun and others.
Su Jun still had to persuade, because although the seventh uncle found an old wife after he came out, but under his conditions at that time, it was impossible for the daughter of an ordinary family to marry him, and the seventh aunt was a widow who had been married, so she would not have children at that time, and the two old men still did not have a real offspring.
Two old people who are not particularly sharp in their actions, plus a fool, they are really not at ease living in this kind of place, in case the old man gets sick or falls down one day, this will kill him if he is not sent to the hospital in time.
The old man, in fact, is supported by a spirit of energy, and it will be difficult to get up if he falls down all of a sudden.
The three brothers of the Soviet Army have not seen some old people in the village, and they look very energetic, but once they get sick or fall, they will have nothing left, and they will die in a short time.
The old man is so fragile.
"Uncle, I think let's let Uncle Seven stay here, Uncle Seven has been here for so many years, and he is already familiar with the environment here, and he may not be able to adapt to a new place. ”
Su Chen spoke, he said this not because he didn't want to support an old man at home, but because he knew that it was not a good choice to let Uncle Seven leave here.
The elderly, especially the eighty-year-old like Uncle Seven, are very sensitive to the surrounding living environment, and if they change to an unfamiliar environment, there will be no familiar people, but it will make the elderly uncomfortable.
In addition to these reasons, Su Chen did not recommend letting the Seventh Uncle leave here, there was another very important reason, that is, if the Seventh Uncle was here, he could live for many more years.
When he first saw this seventh uncle, Su Chen had seen the face of this seventh uncle, and he found that he couldn't even see the qi of this seventh uncle, what does this mean, either this seventh uncle is also a cultivator, and his strength is stronger than him, or if this seventh uncle is according to Yangshou, he should have died a long time ago.
Su Chen didn't think that the Seventh Uncle Guild was the former, even if a strong person hid himself, it was impossible for him to make his life so miserable, this was not concealment, this was masochism.
So there is only one possibility, the reason why I can't see through the seventh uncle's qi is because the seventh uncle's yang life has been used up, but a person who has run out of yang shou can still live, with the condition of the seventh uncle, there is only one possibility, that is, the local land lord will give him another life.
The Lord of the Land, protecting the safety of the people, but the strength is not very strong, and many folk tales even have stories of spirits occupying the throne of the Lord of the Land, or killing the Lord of the Land and slaughtering the entire village, some of these stories are indeed true.
The strength of the land lord is indeed not strong, because the land lord is not canonized above, but a local person with outstanding prestige served after his death, so the land lord has a power, that is, to choose the next land lord.
Each land lord will leave after a certain number of years, but before leaving, the next heir will be selected, and as the heir selected by the land lord, you can get a benefit, that is, to increase the longevity of a few years, so that he can spend a few more years with his family.
The seventh uncle is already the future heir of the land lord in this Lingshan Town, so it is impossible to leave Lingshan Town, once he leaves, the increased Yangshou will dissipate immediately, this is the rule, no one is allowed to destroy it.
Thinking of this, Su Chen was glad that he went back to his hometown this time and followed his father here, otherwise, with the guilt of the uncle and his father towards the seventh uncle, even if the seventh uncle was unwilling to leave Lingshan, he would persuade the seventh uncle to stay at home for a few days, which would be tantamount to harming the seventh uncle.
"It's still your son who is right, I'm an old bone, I don't want to toss anymore, I'm already very happy that you can come to see me. ”
The seventh uncle said this to Su Chen's father, and when the seventh uncle said so, the Su Jun brothers couldn't persuade anything anymore, but Su Chen's father secretly glared at Su Chen.
Everyone sat in the courtyard and chatted, and several of Su Chen's cousins also went to the kitchen to help, and a steaming meal was ready in a while.
"Our mountains are not like the city, there are not so many good vegetables, these are all picked in the fields, this is the bacon made during the wax moon last year, you can taste it." ”
The seventh uncle naturally doesn't drink alcohol at this age, but the old man also has wine at home, which was given by the people in the village, and when he chatted before, Su Chen also knew that the seventh uncle had a high prestige in the village.
The reason is also very simple, the seventh uncle has been in prison for seven years, and after coming out, he came here, after all, he has read and can write, at that time, many children in the village followed him to practice calligraphy, and even whose children applied for what university, the people in the village would come to ask the seventh uncle's opinion.
It is no exaggeration to say that those children who have come out of the village and have a future have to come to the door with gifts every year when they come back for the New Year, and the old people can't eat or drink, and these things are finally distributed by the seventh uncle to some poor families in the village.
The Su family came a lot this time, and one table definitely couldn't sit at one table, the main table was the Eight Immortals Table, that is, the seventh uncle and his wife, plus the three Su Jun brothers and Zhao Yiyi's father, and their juniors were sitting at another table.
"Brother Su Chen...... Brother. ”
Zhao Yiyi looked at Su Chen, this title was a little embarrassed to say, according to the generation, she and Su Chen are the same generation, she is three years older than Su Chen in terms of age, so she should call Su Chen her younger brother.
can think of the younger brother in front of him, who scolded himself for being a fool in the hospital, and he was also willing, feeling that the other party was not wrong, and even she felt that the other party should be older than herself.
But now that she knows that the person in front of her will only be a senior at the beginning of the next semester and is younger than herself, she is a little embarrassed in her heart.
"What's the matter with Sister Yiyi?"
Su Chen is very calm, sister, sister, the other party is indeed older than himself, although his brain is a little stupid, but that is also because he has not seen the world.
"I hope you don't tell grandpa about my affairs in the city, I'm afraid that grandpa will worry about me again when the time comes. ”
Seeing Zhao Yiyi's worried eyes, Su Chen understood what Zhao Yiyi was thinking, she was afraid that she would tell her seventh uncle that the seventh uncle would be in a bad mood because he was worried about her, and if the old man at this age was in a bad mood, it would be over.
"I see, take me to your house after dinner. ”
"Ah...... Good. ”
Although Zhao Yiyi didn't know why this younger brother wanted to see it for herself, but thinking that Boss Liu, who was so powerful, could only turn himself in in front of this younger brother, as well as those gangsters who suddenly fell to the ground, she knew that the younger brother in front of her was not just an ordinary college student as those uncles and uncles said.
The main table was naturally eating very slowly, but young people wouldn't eat for so long, and soon Su Chen was full, and he walked out of the courtyard when he found a reason to go to the village.
After a while, Zhao Yiyi also walked out of the yard, holding a key with a red rope in her hand, which was the key to open her door, and she hung the key around her father's neck on weekdays, so that her father could easily open it when he went home to sleep at night.
The door lock of Zhao Yiyi's house is relatively old, there are two iron rings on the door, and in the middle is an iron pin with a hole punched, and an ordinary cowhide lock is locked on the hole of the iron pin.
This kind of lock is easy to open, sometimes it is enough to use iron wire, and even the stronger ones can be unscrewed directly, but it is enough for Zhao Yiyi's family, and there is nothing in their home worthy of being patronized by thieves.
Unlocking the lock, Zhao Yiyi walked in first, the door was not closed, and Su Chen walked around the village after a while before entering.
"Take me to your father's room first. ”
The style of this room is very simple, after entering the door, there are two small doors on the left and right, these are two rooms, in front of which is a table, behind the table is a wooden wall, on which are hung images of leaders that would only hang in the 90s and early 21st century, which are already a little yellowed.
On either side are two passages, the size of a door, which are cut out of the wooden wall, and through these two passages are the back of the wooden wall, where is the kitchen, and on either side the wings are also open, and some miscellaneous items are placed in them.
Although the house is a little dark and dilapidated, it is very clean, and there are no insects or anything like that, obviously Zhao Yiyi has cleaned it after he came back.
Su Chen walked around Zhao Yiyi's house, although Zhao Yiyi didn't know what Su Chen was going to do, she still suppressed her doubts and didn't ask.
"Your father became like this, not by accident, but by someone on purpose. ”
After half a ring, Su Chen walked back to the lobby and said something that made Zhao Yiyi's face pale.
Zhao Yiyi's face would be pale, not only because she heard that her father's illness was harmed, but more importantly, she thought of the person who harmed her father.
His father has no grievances with other people in the village, and no one will harm his father, there is only one person, and that is his mother who wants to leave home.
Su Chen glanced at Zhao Yiyi, he knew that this truth might make Zhao Yiyi's heart even more uncomfortable, but he couldn't comfort him, because he only knew that Zhao Yiyi's father's current situation was murdered, but he wasn't sure if Zhao Yiyi's mother did it.
"Bring your dad home, I think I can get your dad back to normal. ”
Hearing Su Chen's words, the expression on Zhao Yiyi's face changed from pale to excited, she didn't doubt the authenticity of Su Chen's words, even if her father was ill, even many experts and professors were helpless.
"I'm going to bring my dad right now. ”
Zhao Yiyi was very excited, and ran directly towards the door, looking at the back of Zhao Yiyi leaving, Su Chen was a little helpless, he originally wanted to keep it secret in front of his father, but as soon as Zhao Yiyi went like this, it was estimated that it would not be Zhao Yiyi and her father who would come in a while.
