After the master finished speaking, the woman continued: "Because of a chance, the ancestors of the family found out that the contents of that book were all related to the dragon search point. It was through this book that our old Su family started to search for the dragon's lair and rob the ancient tomb. ”

First a smuggler of salt, then a horse, then a thief, and finally a tomb robber, I heard her say this, their family has not done anything serious since the Yuan Dynasty.

But didn't the master say that during the Ming Dynasty, the old Huang family often had business dealings with us, according to the time calculation, the old Huang family in the Northeast at that time was still the old Su family in Hebei, and the Su family at that time was still a thief wandering in the market.

The question is, how can we get together with such a family of thieves?

The woman continued: "Throughout the Manchu era, the Su family was a group of thieves wandering in the northeast, all the way to ...... Probably during the Guangxu period, the old Su family found a dragon vein in an old forest. As for where this dragon vein is and what it looks like, only the old lady at home knows now. What I know is that after the appearance of the dragon vein, the old Su family became the old Huang family, and the Northeast thieves of the year also became the participating merchants who relied on the mountains to eat the mountains. ”

At this point, the woman is finished, and then concentrates on driving.

I felt strange in my heart, according to her, the old Huang family had already whitewashed themselves in the last years of the Qing Dynasty and became serious businessmen, and the business they did after that had nothing to do with the past.

Then why did she tell me about the Huang family's past from the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, although she didn't say it too carefully, but I always felt that those words were very redundant, after all, the past from a salt seller to a thief didn't seem to be very glorious, right?

At this time, my master spoke: "The heads of our previous dynasties who are upright are all the supervisors of the old Huang family, and they have been since the Ming Dynasty. For the past of the old Huang family, you will have to understand it in detail in the future. ”

Hearing Master's words, I was still puzzled, "Supervisor? What is a supervisor? ”

Master looked back at me and said, "It's too early to tell you this, and you'll know these things when you take over my stall." But now I can tell you that there are six major families in our industry, the old Huang family is one of them, and each family has a supervisor, the Huang family is me now, and you will be in the future. ”

After my master finished speaking, the woman who was driving also continued: "Actually, none of our so-called families are from your business. But between us, the family and the supervisor, it is a relationship between Meng Bujiao and Meng Jiao. We can't do without you, and if you don't have us, we can't do the same. If it weren't for our old Huang family, the treasures in the door would be at least half less than now. ”

Less than half?

I am very skeptical of women's words.

You must know that the door is in the door, but it has been since the appearance of the ghost market. "The Walking Dead" said that the establishment time of the ghost market operated by our Soul Village is actually not examinable. Although there are several classics in the door that say that the ghost market was established in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the earliest account books of the ghost market appeared in the first year of the Sui Dynasty.

In other words, the ghost market should have existed in the first year of the Sui Dynasty at the latest, and the door and foot line also appeared in that era at the latest, but the history of the old Huang family only existed during the Yuan Dynasty.

I have to say more here that although I had already studied ancient Chinese history at that time, I only studied history to prepare for the exam, and it was far from being able to apply what I had learned. As for how many years passed between the first year of the Sui Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, it is difficult for me to calculate based on the knowledge I learned from textbooks, which is not not not in textbooks, but after a summer vacation, I have forgotten all about it.

But I can't remember anything in the book, but I remember very clearly what Master wrote in The Walking Dead.

"The Walking Corpse Examination" said that in the opening of the Sui Dynasty and the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a major event in the Soul Village.

Three years after the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the head of the Tunmeng lineage had speculated that there would be a catastrophe in the Soul Village thirty-five years later, and he also predicted that the Soul Village would be "burned" and collapse in the next fifty years. In the second year of Emperor Gong of Sui's ascension to the throne, a fire from the Shiquan Dao people almost burned down the entire Jisoul Village, which was in line with the speculation of the head of Tunmeng thirty-five years ago.

Next to the incident of the burning of the Soul Village by the Shiquan Dao people, the master specially marked a year: 618 AD, and 35 years forward is 583 AD. According to the "Examination of the Walking Dead", "Kaihuang" is the first era name of the Sui Dynasty, and the first year of the Sui Dynasty is the first year of the Kaihuang: 581 AD.

In the Southern Song Dynasty in the Battle of Yashan was destroyed by the Mongolian army in the same year, Shouzheng Yimai had gone deep into Yashan to find the body of Song Huaizong, unfortunately found by the Mongolian army stationed there, the contemporary Shouzheng head was captured by the Mongolian army in order to cover the escape of the doorman, in order to prevent the doorman from risking to rescue him, he hanged himself on the day of imprisonment. This happened at the end of 1279 C.E.

As a descendant, I have no right to judge anything, and the reason why I have re-opened this old story is just to show that I have calculated the time between the first year of the Sui Dynasty and the fall of the Song Dynasty through these two events.

From 581 A.D. to 1279 A.D., a full 698 years.

The woman who drove the car said that the history of their old Huang family began in the Yuan Dynasty, and the entire Yuan Dynasty was less than a hundred years, even if the history of their family began with the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, to now, that is, more than 700 years.

She said that if it weren't for their Huang family, the inventory in the door would be less than half, but our door and foot shop have been hoarding strange goods since the ghost market was built. From the appearance of the door to the appearance of the old Huang family, seven hundred years, from the appearance of the old Huang family to the present, another seven hundred years.

Does that mean that since their old Huang family appeared on the rivers and lakes, our upright people no longer look for strange goods by themselves, and all the goods hoarded in the door are all provided by the Huang family?

But after a while, I suddenly remembered that Master said that it was only during the Ming Dynasty that we started to do business with the Huang family.

That is to say, from the Ming Dynasty to the present, the strange goods provided to us by the old Huang family are more than the total amount accumulated by the people of the Shouzheng Yimaimen through several dynasties!

And the strange goods hoarded in the door, each of them, can be said to be priceless.

Salt dealers, ringing horses, thieves, thieves, these words keep coming to my mind, and no matter which words I put together, they cannot be associated with the priceless treasures of Mendingjiao City.

While I was thinking about these things, the woman had already driven into a remote road outside the city.

The road was in poor condition, and after the car walked on it, it began to jolt violently.

In fact, it was okay at first, although the road conditions were poor, but after all, it was still a cement road, but then the woman actually drove the car onto the mountain road, which was not a winding mountain road, but a real mountain road.

It looked like the road hadn't been walked for a long time, not to mention overgrown with weeds, and under the weeds, there were a lot of broken stones.

To say that this woman's car is also capable of carrying, she didn't fall apart all the way.

The bumps along the way lasted about an hour or so, and finally the woman finally got the car back on the normal road. On the left side of the road I saw a waterhole reflecting the moonlight, and not far on the right side of the road was a small village.

The woman eventually drove the car to the entrance of an ancestral hall in the middle of the village.

When I got out of the car, my legs and feet were still a little weak, and Master came up to me and said, "Take out the sign." ”

I took a handful of it from my pocket, and I pulled out the six-sided sign that the woman had thrown at me.

It wasn't until I had recovered my strength that Master led me to the gate of the ancestral hall.

But before my feet crossed the threshold, I heard someone shouting not far away: "Master Chai, Master Chai, wait a minute." ”

I looked in the direction from which the voice came, and I saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest hurrying over, it was so dark that I couldn't see his face clearly, I could only see that his figure was round, short and fat.

My master smiled and hugged his fist at him: "Daochang Li." ”

When the man walked up to my master, he turned his face to me and Liang Houzai, but he was obviously not interested in the two of us, and after only a brief glance at us, he turned his head and said to my master, "Don't go in yet, Old Lady Huang is discussing with Changrong and Changsheng." ”

As he spoke, the woman in the car also came over, and she also smiled at the Taoist priest and shouted, "Daoist Li." ”

Li Daochang nodded: "Oh, it's Yulian, you're back too?" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to my master again and said, "The matter of the old Huang family this time is very troublesome!" ”

My master nodded: "I know, Old Lady Huang has said it in the letter. ”

Daochang Li said "hi", and said with a little irritability: "Master Chai, you only know one thing and don't know the other, just last night, the old Huang family had an accident again!" ”

My master asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Daochang responded: "The second dragon horn is also cracked, and another bone has fallen out of it. Bao Yong has seen it in the past and said that the dragon horn was blown open by gunpowder. ”

What dragon horns, what different bones, I didn't know what happened to the Huang family, and of course I didn't understand what Li Daochang meant by these words.

But I heard him mention Senior Brother Bao, since Senior Brother Bao is really here, is Liu Shanang also ......

As I was thinking this, someone walked out of the door of the ancestral hall and shouted to Daochang Li: "Daochang Li, Old Lady Huang, please go in." ”

At that time, the moonlight happened to fall in front of the ancestral hall, and I could see the person shouting at a glance, this person was lean, wearing a camouflage uniform that was too fat for him, he had a flat head, although his body stood straight, but his whole body exuded a very obscene temperament, coupled with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, looking like a mouse-like face, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Shangang?
