After a while, I heard the man in the small boat answer, "Is it my uncle?" I, Zhou Duo. ”

Zhou Kui took Zhou Jian and Zhou Zhong to Jiading to recognize the genealogy, while Zhou Duo stayed with his second son Zhou Jing, nephews Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Ming to take care of business.

"How did they end up here? It's broken, something really happened. Thinking as fast as lightning, Zhou Kui asked with luck: "Zhou Duo, what are you doing?" ”

Zhou Duo didn't care about speaking, they all moved together, rowed over with all their might, and Zhou Jian and Zhou Zhong hurriedly pulled them to the big boat.

After this delay, the boat behind was approaching, and the shouts of "catch the murderer" could be heard clearly.

Zhou Duo said in a panic: "Go, go quickly, they are reversed!" ”

Zhou Jing, Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Ming all looked frightened and echoed one after another.

Zhou Jian and Zhou Zhong said angrily: "It's the other way around? Hmph, just by them? How dare you? Catch them up and kill them! “

Zhou Kui glared at the two of them and said, "The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, turn around, and avoid them first." ”

How easy is it to avoid? The people on the boat behind found the small boat abandoned by Zhou Duo and others, and only paused slightly, and then chased after it.

Rao is the boat that Zhou Kui and the others were on, and the nephews rowed together, but they still tossed for most of the night, risked turning into a fork in the road, and finally got rid of them.

Zhou Kui breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it. ”

Zhou Duo said without fear: "After my uncle left, the four of us rushed to the tooth shop to take care of business, and the tooth shop was actually deserted, and we were wondering when the deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Kui and saw that he was listening carefully, and then said: "Fuck, those little tooth shops that closed the door have all reopened their doors; Those little foot gangs, those cloth merchants, and grain merchants completely ignored the existence of our Zhou family and swaggered to negotiate business with them.

What's even more infuriating is that those farmers actually go to the town to set up stalls and trade unscrupulously; And the toothymen and guys we hired actually ran away.

Of course, the four of us can't let them do anything, so we wanted to catch one or two small shrimps to shock them, but Zhao Liu's grandson bumped into him, and he actually went to the door of our tooth store to set up a stall to sell, hum! ”

Zhou Kui sighed: "This kind of second-class goods are used to dogs and people. ”

Zhou Duo hurriedly echoed: "What my uncle said is very true, but it's a pity that these two silver-like wax gun heads are useless, Brother Zhou Jing picked him up and threw him to the ground, and his head happened to hit the sharp stone and died."

There have been such things before, but just give the two of them money, this time it doesn't work, those cats and dogs actually came together to besiege us, we had to return to the tooth line, the tooth line has been occupied by them, we had to retreat to the house, they still don't let go. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Duo looked frightened, but seeing that Zhou Kui was pondering and not speaking, he continued: "It's thanks to Uncle Master that he got the secret passage in advance, otherwise, I'm afraid that the four of us brothers will never see you Uncle again." ”

Zhou Kui patted him lightly on the shoulder, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where is your aunt?" ”

Zhou Duo glanced at Zhou Kui timidly and cried.

Zhou Kuideng understood and said, "Your aunt has been ill for a long time, how can she withstand such a fright?" ”

When Zhou Duo heard this, his "fear" was lighter, and he cried: "We were going to take our aunt with us, but helplessly, they had already premeditated, and soon rushed into the house and found the entrance to the secret passage, and chased after it, the four of us had to let the aunt enter the ground first, even so, if it wasn't for the chance to meet my uncle, we would ......"

Zhou Kui said: "How could this suddenly happen? Isn't there anyone secretly doing evil, right? ”

Zhou Duo said: "It must be Tian Sanbao's dog thing, I saw that this dog thing is not authentic a few days ago." ”

Zhou Kui looked at Zhou Jing, Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Ming, and when he saw that they all nodded, he said, "As expected, he turned around and looked in the direction of Loutang Town.

Zhou Duo and the others didn't know what they were thinking, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Kui suddenly said again: "So, our teeth are gone, and our home is gone?" ”

Zhou Jian and Zhou Zhong had never seen that formation, and said unconvinced: "How can you let it be said that it will be gone?" Hmph, just grab it back. ”

Zhou Kui snorted coldly, and said, "Grab it back?" What you said is light, they are now huddled, you say, how to rob? Alas, don't say it's back, I'm afraid we won't even be able to go back. ”

As he spoke, seeing that Zhou Duo and the others were puzzled, he continued: "The reason why they dare to do this must have been planned for a long time, and they want to fight with us if they go out, as long as we go back, I'm afraid we won't even know how to die." ”

Zhou Duo and the others were used to being obedient, so they didn't have many ideas, and when they heard him say this, they couldn't help but look at him together.

He pondered: "It seems that we can't go back to Loutang Town." ”

Zhou Duo hurriedly said: "What can I do?" Our industry has all stayed in Loutang Town. ”

Zhou Kui didn't answer, turned to Zhou Jian and them, and saw that they all nodded, and said reproachfully: "Hmph, industry? It's all at this time, and you still take care of the industry? Yes, industry is important, but compared to life, what is industry? ”

Zhou Jian and the others didn't dare to squeak anymore and secretly went to look at Zhou Duo. Zhou Duo understood what they meant, and plucked up the courage to say: "What Uncle taught me is that it's just that if we don't try to get our property back, where else can we go?" ”

Zhou Kui said a little pretentiously: "You, oh, think I'm as brainless as you? Let's go, two months ago, I bought a house at the entrance of the inner city of Fengmen, let's go there for the time being. A few of you have memorized it for me, and you will all clamp your tail and be a man for me in the future, so as not to attract them and the government, and lose your life in vain without knowing it. ”

Zhou Duo was unconvinced: "The government? They didn't eat less and take less of us, so didn't they talk about it at all? ”

Zhou Kui snorted coldly, thought about it, and then said, "Official? Count on them, hmph, stop dreaming!

There's no way, people's hearts are sinister, let's look at the front first, otherwise, if they smell the smell and find it, there will be a way for our men to live? ”

Zhou Duo and the others wanted to say more, but Zhou Jian had already answered: "Li'er is such a reason, but with this little silver in our hands, how many comfortable days can such a large family live?" ”

Zhou Duo and the others obviously thought the same, Zhou Kui was too lazy to bother to speak, got up and pressed Zhou Jian's head with his hand, and said angrily: "You know how to live a comfortable life?" Yes, it's right to want to live a comfortable life, but you don't want to think about it, when is the time now, hum, it would be nice to be able to save your life, and you still want to live a comfortable life? ”

Zhou Duo said: "Even if we don't want to live a comfortable life, we have to live, we just have such a little silver in our hands, there will always be a day when we spend it, how can we live?" We people have no strengths, so we have to find some reason to make money, and we won't go to open our teeth again. ”

Zhou Kui said: "We have opened the tooth shop, we know the twists and turns in it, the tooth shop is not something that can be opened casually, this place is not comparable to Loutang Town, of course we can't open the tooth shop again, and we must hide ourselves, even if we can open it, we can't open it again." ”

Hearing what he said resolutely, Zhou Duo asked again: "Then, what should we do?" ”

Zhou Kui said: "There is no way, I can only return to the ancestral business." ”

"Back to the ancestral business? So what? Brother Zhou Duo was puzzled and looked at him suspiciously.

"You children." Zhou Kui sighed and said solemnly: "What did my father, that is, your grandfather, do before?" ”

Zhou Xuan, Zhou Jing and a few other little ones didn't know, but Zhou Duo knew, and he almost exclaimed: "Uncle doesn't want the brothers to be Tulangzhong, right?" Not to mention the hard work, and more importantly, our brothers have not studied seriously, so how can we do it? ”

Zhou Kui said helplessly: "It's not your fault, it's my fault, I was too loose with you when I was rich." ”

As he spoke, seeing that Brother Zhou Duo's face was still very disdainful, he said in an aggravated tone: "It's a shame that I learned a little bit from your grandfather when I was young, so let's do the work of seeing a doctor."

Your brothers are divided into two groups, one of which is to set up a herb stall in the cave of Fengmen Castle on the east side of our new home, and sell some herbs. The knowledge of herbs is studious, I will teach you; The other group runs errands with me, and you can also walk around the village to earn some extra money. Although it is a little harder, we can at least have a way to live. ”

Although the Zhou Duo brothers were unwilling, they had no other way to think about it, so they lowered their heads and stopped talking.
