Chapter 4 Flying Messengers
After this paragraph, Uncle Qi was already in tears, as if he remembered his father who had passed away for many years, his grandfather and grandmother who had never met, and the two aunts.
Shu Huo and Ling Heng were also shocked to hear it, about the disaster in the eighth year of Chengping, they had only seen it in books in the past, or heard others mention it, they never thought that that disaster would be so cruel.
"What about your family, if you find your family, the life of the three sisters and brothers should be much better. Shu Huo suddenly thought.
Uncle Qi's expression was very stunned.
"My father said that after arriving in Yicheng, my eldest aunt has been trying to find her family, after all, if the family is willing to accept it, life will be much better. However, the eldest aunt searched the entire Yi City, and no one heard from her family. ”
"It wasn't until later that a group of warriors who entered the city later got news of their own family. The team, because of the large number of people and the number of good players, attracted many high-level demon beasts, and in the end, the whole army was wiped out. ”
"What?!" That's a family, a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, how can it be so easy to perish?
"This should be true. ”
Ling Heng sighed, "Before that disaster, Yicheng was actually more than just the Du family and the Ling family. ”
"At that time, Yuezhou was one of the best in the entire Daning Dynasty. Because it is backed by the Yueyang Mountain Range and rich in resources, the warriors also have a good place to practice martial arts and sharpen their battles. Therefore, Yuezhou is known to everyone to produce capable people. ”
"And Yicheng, as the second largest city in Yuezhou and the county seat of Xingyang County, is naturally the stronghold of many families. It is said that in addition to the Du family, there are also medium-sized families. It's just that most of these families' ancestral homes are built elsewhere. ”
When the disaster came, the ancestral house was destroyed, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and they all withdrew from the ranks of the family, and some even completely destroyed. ”
"And the Ling family, because the ancestral house is in Yicheng, escaped the catastrophe. ”
"As for the Du family, it is the most mysterious family in Yuezhou, even the Chen family, the head of the Yuezhou family, does not dare to underestimate him, and it is not surprising that he can be preserved. ”
Speaking of the Chen family, Ling Heng glanced at Shu Huo. The Chen family is Shu Hui's maternal grandfather's family. His mother is the second daughter of the current head of the Chen family. Back then, the story of Shu Hui's father and mother was very lively.
"In addition," Ling Heng said again, "that medium-sized family back then..."
"It's the Yang family. Shu Hui sighed. The Yang family is the maiden family of Shu Hui's aunt.
Shu Tingkai, the ancestor of the Shu family, arrived in Yicheng precisely because of the beast tide.
Shu Tingkai was Shu Hui's great-grandfather. was just from an ordinary family before, but Shu Tingkai was bold and righteous, seemingly rude, but in fact he was quite thoughtful, and he laid a world in Yicheng with his bare hands. Although it is also because of the disaster that there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, this opportunity should not be underestimated.
After several generations of development, to the fourth generation, the Shu family has stepped into the threshold of the family with half a foot. When the fourth generation grows up, the Shu family can become a family as a matter of course.
It's just that the Shu family's heritage is lacking, so these things, Shu Huo is indeed not clearer than Ling Heng, who is a side of the Ling family. Of course, it was also because he didn't care about these things, otherwise most of the elders of the Shu family would know about such trivial matters that were not secrets.
"I didn't expect this beast tide to be so terrifying, so what you said Uncle Qi said has reached the most critical moment, is that what I think?"
I never thought that this beast tide could be so serious that it would destroy the family. Shu Huo in the previous life was busy cultivating all day long, so how could he have time to care about these things. In this life, he has taken the old way.
"Before the disaster broke out, the old man's father had a neighbor who had been a hunter for decades. He once discovered the abnormality of the demon beast in Donglin Mountain first, and even reported it to the county order to know, but unfortunately it was not taken seriously. ”
It wasn't until the disaster broke out that the old man's grandfather remembered the words of the old neighbor and regretted that he didn't pay attention to them. It's a pity that even if my grandfather told my family, my family might not pay attention to the news. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Qi said angrily: "When the disaster just ended, my father said that people from the imperial court often came down to find out if there was anything abnormal in the demon beasts in the Yueyang Mountain Range. But when the old man grew up, he rarely saw these people. Before, Li Zheng came to ask about the situation, but later, Li Zheng no longer cared about this. ”
"After all, it is now the thirteenth year of Yongtai, and it has been one hundred and fourteen years since the eighth year of Chengping. Shu Hui sighed. After so many years, there has been nothing unusual, and it is long overdue to slack off.
"They forgot the painful lesson of the beginning, but the old man's father did not!"
"Over the years, my father has been observing the situation of demon beasts in Donglin Mountain and has made a record. After his father died, it was the old man who did it. Now there are several volumes in that notebook, and the records of each year are clear. ”
"The reason why the old man feels that something is wrong is because the situation of the inexplicable riot of this demon beast group is almost exactly the same as that of Chengping in the eighth year!
"Old man, what you said is true?!" I only thought there was something abnormal in this mountain before, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, if it was true, then I am afraid it would really be a disaster, and no one would be spared.
"Every sentence is true, there is no falsehood!" Uncle Qi swore to the sky, and his voice became a little hoarse.
Shu Huo and Ling Heng glanced at each other, and Ling Heng said, "I'm afraid this really depends on you, my words, few people in the Ling family will believe it." ”
Shu Hui said: "I know. I'll tell my uncle about this as it is, and I'm sure he will have a solution. In addition, Uncle Qi, where is this record? With this, I believe that it will be more convincing to the people of the imperial court. ”
Uncle Qi hurriedly said: "It's all in the old man's house, and it's well preserved." ”
"Okay, I'll send a message to tell my uncle everything here, we must leave immediately, go to Uncle Qi's house to get the record book, and then hurry up and rush to Donglin Town to hand over the book to my uncle. Shu Huo said.
Immediately, he flipped his wrist and took out a small jade plaque the size of a baby's palm, glowing with a shining light. I saw him tap a few times, and then explained the whole thing in detail in a hurried tone.
After a while, the jade plaque lit up, and I heard a gentle but rather calm voice say: "I already know about this matter, Brother Hui'er, get the booklet as soon as possible, and give me the rest." ”
The tone was extremely calm and unhurried, which calmed down the people who seemed a little flustered because of this conversation.
"Yes, uncle, I'll go. ”
Then Shu Huo tapped a few more times, and said to the jade plate, "Chen Wu, prepare the horse!" and then he looked up at Uncle Qi.
Only then did Uncle Qi react and hurriedly said, "Oh, only me and Su'er are going to this one, and the others have to stay in Donglin Town to sell the goods." ”
Shu Hui continued to the jade plate: "Prepare five horses, I have an emergency, I will go out immediately." ”
"Five horses?" Everyone was puzzled, but they were suddenly startled when they saw a slightly old middle-aged man beside Shu Hui.
Shu Huo and Ling Heng glanced at each other, and they all looked at Uncle Qi deeply.
Shu Huo said: "Uncle Qi, if everything goes well, your and Zunjun's actions are equivalent to saving the people of the entire Yuezhou, and we are not qualified to represent the people of the entire Yuezhou, but I still thank you here." ”
Uncle Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said, "There is no need to do this, the old man is just to fulfill his father's last wish, and he doesn't want such a tragedy to happen again." ”
"The situation is urgent, there is no need to say anything more, let's get out of here quickly. Ling Heng said solemnly.
The group left in a hurry, because of the presence of Grandpa Jing, there were few demon beasts along the way, and they soon left Donglin Mountain.
