When the refugees poured into Cangshui County, it was just in time for several days of heavy snowfall, and the surface of the Nucang River began to freeze.

Under the call of the county government, porridge sheds have been set up in all parts of the county, large and small, nearly 200 places.

In particular, the shed built by the Yamen Catcher himself, from the riverside every other section, a cooking smoke floated up, extending to the downtown of the county.

Porridge is given during the day, hot water is boiled and distributed at night, and the fire on the stove is continuous day and night, and it can also be used for heating at night.

After 10 days of raising, the refugees who arrived first were all arranged to work in exchange for food rations, cloth farms, fish ponds, carpentry, shipyards, firewood, charcoal, bags, carts and stones, and so on.

In addition to these hard workers, there are many people who originally had a skill before fleeing, and almost all of them can find a temporary livelihood in Cangshui County.

Many of the refugees who came in later came with things in their hands and wrapped in their bodies, which may have been made by the refugees who came first.

Gao Wenzhong is confident that he will deal with a large number of refugees, not only because he raided the homes of the two big clans, but also because the foundation of Cangshui County is strong enough.

All kinds of shops are thriving and prosperous, and they are ranked in the entire Xueling County and the land of thousands of miles.

In the past, as a county official who was transferred, it was difficult for him to speak alone, and many people in the county, even if they gave him face on the surface, when it was time to move seriously, they might not be able to share their hearts with him.

And now, the Huang and Liu families have been raided, the Feiwang Martial Arts Pavilion has been scattered, and the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion and the Wind Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion are all his solid allies.

With such a momentum, looking at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there is still a rich family in any place that dares not to buy it.

However, when all the small and medium-sized families in the local area bowed their heads, now the entire Cangshui, the only big family that is smooth sailing, has changed a little.

"Four uncles, what does this mean?"

In the lobby of the Lei family, Lei Dongtian sat on the main seat, with a faint angry face, his arms pressed on the armrest, and his voice was like rolling thunder.

"Now the wealthy families in Cangshui County, all families are putting grain, and even more than 100 people from the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion are helping to take advantage of the winter fishing, breaking through the thick ice on the surface of the river and lake, going deep into the water, tracking the fish, and cooking fish in a large number of stewed soup at the fastest speed, and buying winter clothes, distributing them, and appeasing the refugees."

"Our Lei family's financial savings are better than the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion, I don't know how many times it is better, but our porridge shack has only been open for so many days, and you told me that you want to close the porridge shack, what do you mean?"

His eyes were like electricity, scanning everyone, in the hall, the stewards and eldest sons of the clan's various rooms, all of them were swept by his eyes, and they all felt that their backs were tight, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Do you want to tell me that the more than 20 warehouses and cellars of our Lei family have been secretly emptied by you over the years, and you can't get food and clothes, right?!"

The four clan elders of the Lei family, seeing that some of the stewards have begun to tremble, it is no longer good to stand idly by.

"Big nephew, don't say it so ugly."

The second elder of the Lei family, who was eight feet tall, had hair like silver, and his face was full of red light, and he only wore a light brocade robe in the snowy weather outside the hall, which was full of energy.

This is not only because of his profound skills, but also because in the greenhouses on both sides of the lobby, the blazing charcoal basins bake the walls warmly, and there are flues passing through the ground, and the temperature in the entire hall is much higher than outside.

"Of course, there are still things in our warehouse, even if someone takes advantage of some small advantages, it is impossible to have big hands and feet in the account, after all, there are still a few housekeepers you personally assigned to keep an eye on, they are all loyal."

"But our Lei family's money, food, and clothes are not blown by the wind, so we can't really cut the expenses of our family at the end of the year and scatter them to those poor ghosts from other places."

"The surname Gao wants us to support him, we have already put on a posture more than ten days ago, and now the porridge shed is closed, and it is not easy to say anything there with the surname Gao, we are still allies."

Lei Baishi laughed: "It turns out that several uncles and uncles think that we are completely forced to open this porridge shed and distribute these clothes because of the county order, so do you want to make a show?" ”

He said with a smile, "I think you guys are really comfortable, as soon as the gate is closed, the two worlds are right, have you ever been outside to see ......?"

"Shiraishi!"

Lei Dongtian raised his hand to stop his son's words, and said in a deep voice, "Four uncles, I don't know if you have ever thought that refugees are different from beggars. ”

"The number of local beggars is also limited, and the government will not take care of anything, but the number of these refugees is really enough, and there is a guarantee from the imperial court that once the fields are cultivated, they will be exempt from tax for three years."

"If they settle here, they will all be the people of our Xueling Cangshui in the future, and we are now giving porridge and grain, and distributing clothes and hot water, what a good opportunity to invite and buy fame?"

"The fame and prestige of a large family operating in the local area for 50 years may not be as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as what has been shown in this great migration of refugees."

Seeing the four old things, his face was still disapproving, and a trace of fierceness flashed in Lei Dongtian's eyes.

"The position of the regimental training defense envoy, although we may not be able to compete with the uncle and nephew of the Su family, but the position of the team general, we will definitely be able to share the profits."

"That is to say, there are only 500 people in the group training, but in fact, when the time comes, as long as we have enough people and the local support can be supported, even if we run thousands of people, or even make the surrounding neighboring counties all in the same breath, we may not be able to do it."

"Four uncles, look at the situation in the world, don't we plan for the future?"

The second elder of the Lei family said: "Fame is false in the end, financial resources and food, but these are all real things in our family, and these can really be transformed into strength." We have not lost our duty, we are still allies on the county government, and it should be our opportunity when the time comes, and we will naturally be able to ......."

Lei Dongtian lost patience and stood up.

The second elder suddenly became vigilant: "Nephew, what are you going to do?" ”

The four elders all stood up, and the Great Elder, who usually spoke the least, took a step forward.

"Moving, have you forgotten what your father said when he was seriously ill, he called you and us to the bed and took your hand?"

The Great Elder's tone was gentle, with the meaning of persuasion, "Your father knows you best, and knows that you are short-tempered, and many things are sometimes not well understood, so you still have to listen to our opinions in order to grow old and be serious." ”

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

"What did my grandfather say? I don't think I've heard of it. ”

Everyone looked out the door and saw a young woman in a silver crown and blue robe walking in.

She had no extra accessories with thick black hair on her head, which hung back between the silver crowns, a knife at her waist, a hilt in her left hand, and an openwork bracelet on her wrist.

Lei Baishi jumped up from the chair: "Sister, you're back!" ”

Lei Dongtian's anger eased slightly, and he called: "Yuzhu." ”

"Daddy!"

Lei Yuzhu stepped forward to give a salute, "I encountered something on the way, and I came back late, but the goods were delivered, and there was no one less to bring them out." ”

Lei Dongtian helped her up: "Good, good!" ”

"Yuzhu, you're back well."

The second elder of the Lei family also said, "It's quite chaotic outside now, it's good for you to come back, since today is the day when everyone comes back safely, let's not talk about some vain things, according to the usual practice, let's celebrate everyone first." ”

Several elders of the Lei family nodded one after another, and they were happy, as if the tense atmosphere just now had disappeared, and they were ready to end.

"Second grandfather, don't worry."

Lei Yuzhu turned around and smiled, his voice was lazy and soft, "I also heard some of what happened just now, I think what the second grandfather said is quite right, this matter, just settle it today, don't delay it any longer." ”

The eyes of the second elder of the Lei family lit up: "Oh, you agree with what I mean?" ”

"yes."

Lei Yuzhu's white fingers combed the broken hair in his ear, and said, "Fame is false, strength is real, I think it's right." ”

"That's it, the four uncles and ancestors combined, if you can get my trick, I will help you persuade my father, and you will discuss and decide on major matters in the future, otherwise, ......"

She chuckled, and the rest of the words didn't seem to have to go on.

When everyone in the Lei family heard this, their faces changed.

"Yuzhu, you're a little rude!" "Are you going to do it with your elders?" "Lei Dongtian, that's how you discipline your daughter?"

Lei Yuzhu turned a deaf ear to the voices of these clan elders, slowly raised his right hand, and said in a low voice, "Pay attention." ”

The Great Elder of the Lei Family couldn't help it, his body shook, and there was a faint white glow flickering at the joints of his body, and he shouted: "You girl, you have probably broken through the Heavenly Ladder realm outside, and you feel that your wings are stiff." ”

"But even if it's a ladder, you shouldn't talk to your elders like this, we'll take you today, and spread it out in the future, so that the world can judge you, an unfilial girl, and see how you can get married?!"

The older generation of the Lei family is actually far more than these four, and the reason why only the four of them are clan elders is because three of them are all capable of achieving more than the sea of qi.

As for the Great Elder, he already had the realm of Qi Sea Consummation ten years ago, but he was too old and there was no hope of breaking through the Heavenly Ladder.

In terms of superb skills alone, Huang Sanwen of the Huang family or Lei Yuzhu before going out should be inferior to him.

Even if you are a Heavenly Ladder master, it will be a little difficult to defeat the Great Elder within one move.

If you want to defeat the four of them at the same time in one move, even Lei Dongtian can't do it.

The Lei family's heart was towards the patriarch, and they all felt that the eldest lady was a little reckless, and they were secretly anxious.

Lei Yuzhu's bet is really a bit excessive, but she just wants to go too far, if it is not too much, how can she make the whole clan completely obey.

"Are you ready?"

Lei Yuzhu said, "If you feel that empty hands are not safe enough, I can wait for you to dress yourself and take your weapons before coming." ”

The four elders were all furious and reprimanded: "You make a move, we want to see how you can defeat the four of us in one move." ”

Lei Yuzhu didn't pull out the knife, but just interlocked his raised right hand with his thumb and index finger.

In an instant, the hair of the four elders suddenly stood up and became fluffy.

Before they could react, Lei Yuzhu's fingers flicked forward.

Rumble!!!!

The dazzling electric light and deafening thunder made everyone subconsciously close their eyes and turn their heads.

At that moment, four lightning bolts exploded in the lobby, and the snow and water between the roof tiles were shaken and trembled.

When they turned around, they saw the four elders standing in place, their bodies charred and their hair standing on end.

"What is this—What?"

The Great Elder struggled to spit out four words, as his lips trembled and his beard turned to ashes.

Then, the four elders all fell hard.

"The fire in the sky, the thunder in the sun, the thunder of our Lei family, you don't know each other, how can you point fingers at the orders of the patriarch?"

Lei Yuzhu shook his fingers, "Take the four elders down to recuperate." ”

Lei Rulong and the others looked at each other, and hurriedly came up, wanting to help the four elders.

However, just as they approached, there was a crackling sound between their clothes and skin, as if they had been pricked by needles, which made them suspicious, and they hurriedly withdrew their hands to protect themselves.

Seeing that no one had made a move against them, everyone hesitated and took the four elders down.

Lei Baishi couldn't help but look at the roof.

There are no holes in the roof, how did the four heavenly thunders come from just now?

It must be known that although the thunder and fire qi of the thunder moving sky also has the power of thunder and fire, in terms of speed, it is the speed at which the qi of a normal ladder martial artist explodes.

It is impossible to be like the four heavenly thunders and lightning just now, so that everyone does not react.

That's clearly the speed of real lightning.

"Yuzhu, have you comprehended the true meaning of the general outline of the Thunder Fire Rushing Technique?"

Lei Dongtian said in surprise, "That hand just now is not the thunder and lightning that fell from the sky, but it is the truth of the real heavenly thunder and lightning?" ”

In fact, the electric field in the world is divided into two types: yin and yang, and lightning will only appear when the yin and yang electric fields meet.

During thunderstorms, thunderclouds often have yin electricity at the bottom and yang electricity at the top, so sometimes lightning bursts from inside the clouds.

The scene of the thunder falling from the sky is actually because there is a positive electric field on the ground, and the negative electric field at the bottom of the thundercloud attract each other, and when the two are not far apart, they will run in both directions to form lightning.

Although Lei Dongtian has cultivated to the Heavenly Ladder realm for a long time, his skill is not sharp enough to divide the yin and yang electric fields.

But just now, Lei Yuzhu clearly shrouded the negative electric field on the four elders first, and then burst out the positive electric field with a flick of his fingers, creating the power of lightning.

Therefore, when the four elders were still talking nonsense, they had already been destined for this trick and were doomed to failure.

"I met a lot of spirits outside, and I was almost slapped off my neck by a beaver, and I realized this hand."

Lei Yuzhu turned his face sideways, let his father and younger brother look at the three scars on their necks, and said with a smile, "No matter how fast it is, as long as it breaks into the range shrouded by yin electricity, it can't escape this lightning." ”

Those three scars, I'm afraid they were just a little close, and they scratched the blood vessels in her neck.

There was no surprise on Lei Baishi's face, only fear: "How could you meet such a powerful spirit?" ”

"The spirits raised by the nine counties of King Liang, the number and strength are not comparable to those spirits we encountered in the past, and with the migration of refugees, of course they entered the snow ridge."

Lei Yuzhu said, "I heard that the five-way guerrilla generals are going around to encircle and suppress, otherwise we may have to face more spirits and chaos." ”

Lei Dongtian bowed slightly, and said: "The five-way guerrilla general is Situ Yuntao's person, and Gao Wenzhong is also a person over there, if there is chaos in the future, such a person is really worth taking refuge into, so I said, our Lei family should not be stingy with these grains." ”

"Yuzhu, your road is hard, go back and rest first, and your brother and I will arrange these things."

Lei Yuzhu nodded, left the lobby, returned to his small courtyard, refused the maid's proposal to send soup, went directly into the room, untied the knife, and then sat on the bed alone.

"These four old men, they can't even bear the superficial thunder method that you have realized, if you use the knife moves I taught you, ten of them can be killed in one move."

The arrogant woman's voice, which was inaudible to outsiders, sounded in Lei Yuzhu's ears.

Lei Yuzhu pulled the sleeve of his right hand up, revealing the other bracelet in his right hand.

The silver bracelet was an object given to her by her mother when she was alive, and the black jade bracelet on her right hand was something that collapsed out of the beaver after she was chopped to death.

It was obviously like a jade texture, but it was struck by lightning and bounced into the air, but there was not a trace of filth or crack.

Lei Yuzhu was curious at the time and picked it up in his hand, but the blood and thunder fire internal force on his body were swallowed up by the bracelet, awakening this senior who claimed to be once famous.

"Yes, yes, we're just a small place here after all, how can we have the opportunity to see such a powerful sword technique?"

Lei Yuzhu smiled in his tone, and gently flicked the black jade bracelet with his fingertips, "I am wronged that you have absorbed my blood, otherwise, you can find a more powerful host." ”

"Hmph, you can also do it, you are mainly in a bad environment, I will know as soon as I see your father, the person with the highest martial arts in your family, the martial arts have been comprehended so roughly, it is strange that it can suit you!"

The voice in the jade bracelet said, "But on the way back, the kid who fried fish on the other side of the river felt like he broke through the ladder with the Qi Sea Extreme Realm, you said at the time that it was the person from the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion, why didn't you go up to say hello, did you have a grudge against his family?" ”

"It's not enough to have a grudge, I used to be quite familiar."

Lei Yuzhu recalled, "There are three people in their family, a pedantic uncle, a second uncle who is bound by human affection, and a child who loves to pretend to be an adult, but as long as he is praised, he will be very happy and hardworking." ”

"It's a pity, that's all in the past, I haven't seen you for five years, I'm in a hurry to go home, and there's no need to go out of my way to say hello."

She exhaled, "Qi Sea Extreme Realm, the genius who was in everyone's attention back then can really do what everyone can't do." ”

The voice of the jade bracelet: "The Qi Sea Extreme Realm, that is, in the Heavenly Ladder Realm, it is more advantageous to beat people, the cultivation is particularly smooth, and the probability of breaking through the true form is greater, and it is useless for the realm in the future." ”

"You have my guidance, you will not be worse than anyone else, and I have become this machine spirit inexplicably now, and I have the same heart as you, even if I am a person with the same realm as me when I was alive, I can't guide my disciples, I can't be as detailed as my induction, and the guidance I give is so clear."

"When you cultivate to the true form realm, you will be able to access the true advantages of my lineage inheritance, and when the time comes, let my sword technique regain its reputation in heaven and earth."

Lei Yuzhu smiled: "If I have a chance, of course I don't want to lose to anyone." ”

"Well, but your previous foundation still needs to be re-polished."

The voice of the jade bracelet said, "The Shenwei Banquet is coming again, it's a good opportunity, you practice the sword well, if you enter the top three, you can choose a pill in the treasure house of the Shenwei Mansion, get a bottle of Jingyuan Dan, and refine the foundation." ”

Lei Yuzhu said: "The first three...... When my father went, he didn't even touch the top ten, so he only got a hundred taels of gold as a gift. ”

"It's really not easy, although you have my guidance, but after all, the time is short, and the inheritance of the Northland Counties still has some powerful characters."

Jade Bracelet's voice was not so determined, "Anyway, go and try it, this is also a good opportunity to open your eyes, for those who practice martial arts, vision is extremely important!" ”
