"Why can't I complain, I was still too young and soft-hearted. Xi Xushui took the pocket watch to meet the light, there was no pattern on its surface, it couldn't be more simple, but he liked it tightly, every time the minute and second hands moved, it seemed to move on his heartstrings.

"From the waterway to the outside, less than half an hour is enough, from the mountain road to Shangzhuang Village, which is the closest to us, it takes three mountains, two days and one night, but I have not been able to get out completely for most of my life. ”

"You, too, are thinking about going outside when you're old. ”

Xi Xushui was too lazy to talk to his wife, if you want to say outside, it's really good, a few years ago he took the herbs in the mountains to sell outside, and the changes were so big that people were dazzled.

Especially the rich and noble families, they all wore leather boots and hats that were handed down from the west, and they hid pocket watches in their pockets, and they went out to ride the source car, which was full of style.

At that moment, as if he had been fascinated, he used all the silver coins he had exchanged for herbs to buy himself a fashionable outfit.

But he didn't dare not come back, he was afraid that he would lose the days that were more than enough to be better than the previous ones, and he was afraid that his partners and grandsons who remained in the clan would suffer because of him.

But now he can't help but think, he is now a family of two origin masters, and he is still afraid of the rules and customs of the clan?

The current situation described by Xi Qiongdong is called ..... There's a hint of heartbeat.

Xi Jieshui jumped up, ran back to the house, put on a new robe, took out his treasured leather shoes, arranged his appearance in front of the mirror, and finally put on a wide-brimmed top hat, and hung the chain of his pocket watch on the button, at this time he was extremely glad that his source technique was water, and he would not destroy his image when he entered the water hole.

"Why are you going!" shouted his wife from behind.

His back stiffened for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "I'll go to the Scorching Sun Mansion and see if I can invite a four-star source master." ”

Xi Xushui couldn't invite anyone, but he was sick, and he was choked in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable.

He saw the scenery of the source master of the Scorching Sun Mansion and no one in his eyes, and he also saw the opportunity in the troubled times, he had to admit that his grandson was right, and there was fame and fortune everywhere outside.

But he thinks differently from his grandson, he thinks that there is no way out by fighting alone or joining the army, and if you want to do it, you can make it big, such as pulling up the flag and doing it yourself.

The clan asked the source master to stay and protect them, why couldn't he take the Xi family out and become his own dog.

Xi Xushui thought about it for several days and nights, and the tea and rice were tasteless.

Half a year later, the turning point came-

The demon that killed people did not appear again, Xijia Village had a safe and smooth life for half a year, but people always had to eat and drink, and at the strong request of the clansmen, the clan withdrew the order prohibiting leaving the village, announcing that it was okay to go into the mountains to hunt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xi Xushui hurriedly led the clan elder to the Canggu family to divide the family property, so as to accumulate his own heritage.

Because of this incident, Xi Huanyan also came down from the mountain, and she and Gu Jianxuan stood by the door of the east wing, watching the clan elders search the courtyard inch by inch.

Xi Canggu's things were all piled up in the courtyard, the bundles of wood, piles of minerals, boxes of books, and tools made Xi Huanyan feel moved and distressed, but Xi Qiongdong's eyes kept following the money bag - he had long lost his identity as a craftsman, his master was a fool, he had such a good hole card as the source master, and he went to work for others.

The clan elders in charge of the inventory sang one by one, and when they sang about the money, everyone pricked up their ears—

"One hundred and twenty bronze coins, twenty-one thousand and three silver coins, and fifty gold coins!"

This family background has made the clan elders tremble with excitement, and Xi Xushui and Xi Qiongdong showed disappointment in their eyes, in their opinion, Xi Canggu, as a source master, is definitely more than this money.

Xi Xushui gave a look to an old man of the same generation named Xi Xuniu, who hesitated for a while, walked up to Gu Jianxuan and asked, "There are only Canggu things here, what about you and the child?"

"Naturally, our stuff was moved to a new house. ”

"Take me somewhat. ”

Gu Jianxuan didn't move, and the momentum of the two-star martial artist suddenly rose, "Do you suspect that I have hidden Canggu's things?"

"Where is the matter, it's just that you live with Canggu, some things can't be distinguished, you think it's your things, and there may be a part of Canggu in it. ”

"The patriarch's words are funny. Gu Jianxuan pointed to the house, "When I first built the house, I didn't make a lot of efforts, and I lived in it for more than ten years, so it stands to reason that it is also mine, should we calculate it clearly?"

A clan elder who swore an oath noticed the solidified atmosphere here, and hurriedly came over to ask about the reason, and after understanding it clearly, he reprimanded Xi Xue Niu, and secretly said that these lack of heart, Gu Jianxuan is a two-star martial artist, how can she be offended to death, even if she really hides the ancient things and does not hand them over, what can they do.

Xi Xue Niu also lost his temper, "It's better to figure it out, it's refreshing and refreshing, no one owes anyone, otherwise it's a pimple." ”

"Who thinks it's a pimple, you, or you?" Gu Jianxuan's eyes locked on the pair of ancestors and grandchildren.

Xi Xushui wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but her gaze was like a needle, "They all do things according to the rules, even if it is between partners, they must be clearly distinguished." ”

"If you have a clear distinction, then first distinguish what is present. Gu Jian broke the pillar next to him, and half of the eaves immediately collapsed, "The wood for this pillar was found and brought down from the mountain. ”

She stepped down the stairs, and when she stepped down, the cross-shaped brick path in the courtyard was all cracked, and the objects piled up on it were scattered all over the ground, "I laid this brick on it." ”

"Slowly, slowly!"

"If you have something to say, talk about it!"

When she walked towards the pile of objects, the elders of the clan came back to their senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, Xi Xulan glanced at Xi Huanyan, "You quickly persuade your mother, how can there be such a disagreement and a tantrum." ”

Xi Huanyan dusted off the sawdust on his shoulders and pretended to be innocent, "Although I was born with my father and mother, I didn't enter the family tree, and the one that belonged to my father has been buried with my father, so I don't need to divide it, and people can't cut it in half." ”

The clans are angry, isn't this adding fuel to the fire.

After all, this matter was accompanied by Gu Jianxuan's madness.

The scene was a little embarrassing, Xi Xushui was criticized by several clan elders openly and secretly, but Xi Xushui was very comfortable and squeezed Gu Jianxuan, he was the number one master in the village, and he was one step closer to completely mastering the village.

I also have to think of a way to replace the elders of the older generation, which is too much of a hindrance.

Gu Jianxuan took Xi Huanyan to the newly built single house on the edge of the village, she picked two handfuls of vegetables, boiled a pot of vegetable porridge, cut a plate of barbecue, and sandwiched a few slices for Xi Huanyan.

Xi Huanyan ate happily and was very attentive.

Gu Jianxuan manipulated the old mother's heart, regarded her concentration as silence, raised his hand and touched her head, and said with relief, "People's hearts are very complicated, kind people also have fangs to show their fangs, and vicious people may also exist somewhere soft, between this, there is only one thought, unfortunately, we touched the evil side of the villagers."

This is not simply evil, we are influenced by customs, concepts, and positions, and we who change our position, and perhaps act differently from them, are evil to them. ”

Gu Jianxuan didn't want Xi Huanyan's memory to be buried in the dark, so he said it extremely lightly, trying to save the image of the elders in Xi Huanyan's heart and reduce the damage of these things to her soul.

But Gu Jianxuan didn't know that Xi Huanyan was not uncomfortable at all, even if it was the villagers who were once very close to them who were targeting them now.
