Woof! Woof! Woof!

Hearing the barking of dogs, Li Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the wolves from the jungle fled in panic.

Soon after, an old man with a dragon bell appeared, and four black earth dogs were playing around the old man, and the old man was smoking dry cigarettes.

"Second Uncle......"

Li Chen saw the old man running over quickly, this old man was Li Chen's second uncle, the patriarch of Lijia Village, he had three sons under his knees, and the two sons moved to the town to do business, leaving only the youngest son to live in Lijia Village.

"It's Chenzi back, it's so late, why don't you stay at your eldest brother's house for one night."

Li Chengye is over 50 years old this year, and he still likes to drill into the mountains, and his son and daughter-in-law have persuaded him countless times, but he still can't change this bad problem.

Fortunately, there are still a few mountain dogs at home, and unless they encounter tigers and bears blind, even wolves dare not compete with mountain dogs.

"The sun hasn't set yet, I want to come back early to see your ......"

"What are you yelling about, hurry up and lead the way, and cook your ...... in a few more days"

Li Chengye waved his pipe, and the mountain guard dogs that were originally whining at Li Chen fled in a swarm and ran towards Lijia Village.

It is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, Li Chengye has been a hunter since before the liberation, and has a special love for the mountains and forests, just like Li Chen's grandfather, who has been dealing with water all his life, and there are still more than ten acres of fish ponds left at home.

"Second uncle, what are you biting in your mouth?"

The thing in Li Chengye's mouth was very similar to the medicinal herbs that Li Chen had seen on the Internet before.

"This is Cordyceps, I heard that this thing is quite valuable, last year there were a few drug dealers into the mountain to buy, I usually go into the mountain to pick up some and come back......"

There are a lot of wild medicinal materials on Shilipo, such as Cordyceps, star anise maple, gastrodia, stone chips and other Chinese herbal medicines, but the amount is not much, and there were professional medicine pickers in Lijia Village in the past.

With the continuous development of society and the underdeveloped transportation in Lijia Village, there are fewer and fewer dealers who enter the mountains to buy mountain goods.

"Chenzi, why didn't your daughter-in-law come back?"

Li Chengye met Wang Yingying once, and that time Wang Yingying came back very Li Chen and behaved decently, and Li Chen's uncle was also quite satisfied with Wang Yingying.

"We've split up and I want to come back for a while."

When talking about Wang Yingying, Li Chen's mood was a little lost, the five-year relationship was not a positive result, it was enough to part ways.

"It's good to come back, the outside world is colorful, it's better to come back, your old house is still there, but the ancestral house is in disrepair, I'm afraid it's ......"

The ancestral house of the Li family is built of green bricks and green tiles, and a large courtyard is more than 800 square meters.

After Li Chen's grandfather died, Li Chengye temporarily kept the family tree, why did he say that it was temporarily kept, because Li Chen was the descendant of the Li family, and this ancestral house was still Li Chen's in the end.

"Second uncle, go back, I'm such a big person, I can take care of myself."

The ancestral house of the Li family is the first in the village, Li Chen has lived in the ancestral house since he was born, except for the family members of the patriarchs of the previous dynasties, others rarely enter the ancestral house, the hall is full of spirit cards, and few people are willing to come in.

"Parents, grandfathers, grandmothers, the ancestors of the Li family, the one hundred and thirty-fifth generation descendant Li Chen, greet you!"

Li Chen put down his backpack and lit incense to incense the hundreds of spiritual seats in the hall.

The ancestral house is still taken care of, except for some cobwebs in the corners, there is no dust on the tables, and the whole hall looks simple.

Li Chen, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, and when he was having dinner at the second uncle's house at night, he heard the third brother say that his grandfather left a will before he died, so that Li Chen stayed and guarded the ancestral house.

"Should I leave?"

Li Chen originally just wanted to go home for a few days, and then set off to the north to break through, but the third brother's words made him hesitate.

I have nothing to worry about, and I am a home wherever I go, but people will eventually return to their roots, and Lijia Village is their roots.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen stayed in Lijia Village for three days, and Li Chen lived very comfortably during these three days, rising from sunrise to sunset.

If you have nothing to do, you can go into the mountains with Li Chengye, and you can tease the third brother and a pair of children in your spare time, and there is no breathless rhythm in the city at all.

Early morning.

Li Chen opened the old study room of the ancestral house, in addition to a family tree, there were many ancient calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, these things are old objects, and they have been locked in this room all the time.

Except for Li Chen and Li Chengye, no one else had the key to the ancestral house, and Li Chen wanted to take advantage of the time to clean the ancestral house.

"It's ......"

When cleaning the wall clock on the wall, he found that there was a dark grid behind the wall clock, and after taking out the green bricks, several boxes were revealed, and Li Chen took them out one by one.

The Li family tree, the first box contained a thread-bound ancient book, and Li Chen barely recognized the words on it.

In the second box was a medicinal herb, due to the age, the red rope on it broke with a slight pull, and Li Chen could guess that it was a ginseng.

The third box contained a set of teacups, although Li Chen didn't understand antiques, he could store everything with the family tree in the dark grid, it was definitely not an ordinary product.

The fourth box contained gold ingots, and Li Chen didn't know which dynasty left them over, and more than a dozen gold ingots weighed five kilograms.

There are a total of eight boxes in the dark grid, in addition to the genealogy, there is also a volume of ancient paintings preserved, as well as more than a dozen gold ingots and jade ornaments, as well as a few old ginseng plants of unknown age.

"Before my grandfather died, I always told my third brother to come back to inherit the ancestral house, it should be for these things!"

Li Chen looked at the several wooden boxes on the table, and couldn't help but think of when he was a child, he and a few cousins always liked to play hide and seek in the ancestral house, and every time he was found by his grandfather and entered the study, he would be scolded.

"Chenzi, are you at home?"

Hearing the voice of the third brother Li Shaohua, Li Chen covered the wooden box and walked out.

"At home, what's the matter with the third brother looking for me?"

Li Chen walked out of the study and met Li Shaohua who was coming to him.

"Chenzi, what are you still sweeping, your daughter-in-law has come into the mountains to find you......"

Li Shaohua pulled Li Chen out, Li Chen was confused by Li Shaohua, where did he come from?

When I ran to the second uncle's house, I saw that it was Wang Yingying, and the eldest brother Li Shaoming, who lived outside the town.

"Brother Chen!"

Wang Yingying saw Li Chen's tears flowing out, she stayed alone in Shenzhen for the past few days, and her heart suddenly became empty, and her five-year relationship said that she could break up.

"Yingying, you ......"

Li Chen didn't know what to say, it had only been three days since he returned home, and Wang Yingying chased after him, could it be that he also sent Wang Yingying back?

"I'm coming to you, are you unhappy, if you're unhappy, I'll just go back......"

Wang Yingying made a coquettish at this time, causing Li Chen to be defeated by the second uncle and second aunt, and after a while, she led Wang Yingying to flee.
