Chapter 337: The Situ Family's Abnormality
Compared with the relatively barren Western Regions and Saibei, although Lingnan is not as beautiful as Daqian Zhong Lingyu, it can also be regarded as a place of wind and rain.
At least the grain output is still guaranteed, and Wu Hao has rarely heard of any place in Yue Guo that has starved to death because of famine.
But this does not mean that the people of Yue must live well.
The miscellaneous taxes of the Yue Imperial Court, coupled with the apportionment of the local government and the price reduction of grain merchants, made the people who relied on the land to earn a living only struggle to make ends meet.
has no free body, and his life is not as good as that of a slave of a large family.
This makes some farmers think of other ways to subsidize their families in addition to farming. For example, when the farm is busy, take care of the work in the field, and go to the big family to do some things to help the idle when the farm is not working.
Of course, this is not the only form, the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water. In order to live, they can always find a way that suits them.
For the mountain people who rely on the Situ family's huge gold mines, their way is to become miners and work for the Situ family during the slack time.
These guys who came to Wu Hao's mansion to deceive were the mountain people who originally belonged to the Situ family's territory.
The two guys who were knocked out by Wu Hao seem to be small leaders among the miners, so they seem to have a little knowledge.
Of course, for the mountain people who have never left Jinsha County, where the Situ family is located, even if they have limited knowledge, so they make this kind of joke about making trouble in the Wu Mansion.
Speaking of which, these people used to be Wu Hao's co-workers, but they were not in the same mine, so they hadn't met.
It's just that these people are different from Wu Hao, Wu Hao has other plans for mining, and people are eating with this cause.
As long as there is a little way out, no one wants to leave their hometown to earn a living, and there is no way for them to come south to the side of Autumn Wind City.
Just a month ago, there was a sudden change in the Situ family's gold mine.
What happened is not very clear to the two villagers.
Some say there was a mining disaster, others say that a great bonanza was discovered, and others say that evil was dug up. There are all kinds of rumors, and the only thing that is certain is that many people died.
At that time, the two villagers did not go to the mine because of something at home, so they were able to escape.
However, because the place where they lived was not far from the gold mines of the Situ family, they were able to see some visions.
The night was full of red light, and it didn't stop all night......
The next day, the Situ family sealed the gold mine tightly, strictly prohibiting people who were not inside the Situ family from entering again.
Naturally, these villagers, who begged for a living from the Situ family, also lost their livelihood.
If that's all it takes, it won't leave them home.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and then I don't know what happened, everything near the Situ family's gold mine near the land seemed to have been evil, and the crops in the field withered and died before the harvest season, almost no harvest.
Having lost their earning livelihood and the most important guarantee of food and clothing, these villagers had no choice but to go south to pan for gold in line with the idea of moving the dead and the living.
Although they didn't know much about the forces of the cultivation world, they had also heard from the merchants in the past that there was a big city called Autumn Wind City thousands of miles south of Jinsha County, and it was a place that was even richer than Jinsha County.
So they traveled several times and came to Autumn Wind City thousands of miles away.
In the end, he ran to Wu Hao and sent the head.
Wu Hao still has a simple sense of identity with the working people at the bottom, if it weren't for the other party's insistence on provoking him, he would rarely take the initiative to harm such people.
Nothing oily.
It's not interesting.
However, the other party really has to come up to die, and Wu Hao will not be sympathetic to the overflowing food due to choking.
killed these two people, and there was no fluctuation in his heart. But Wu Hao was still very interested in the mutation of the Situ family's mine cave that they mentioned before they died.
According to the description of this villager, the Situ family is so cautious about sealing the mine, something must have happened there. And this matter is something that the Situ family doesn't want others to know.
For the Situ family, Wu Hao was unsettling at the beginning. But Situ Xiaoming has been Wu Hao's younger brother for so long, and even Wu Hao's prejudice against the Situ family has decreased a lot.
It's a pity that Situ Xiaoming is only the concubine of the Situ family, and it is because of the unfair treatment he encountered at home that he hopes to get ahead in the Red Lotus Sect.
He also doesn't have much sense of belonging to the family. The Situ family is about a thousand miles away from the Red Lotus Sect. Such a long distance may require ordinary people to trek for several days, but for Situ Xiaoming's existence in the Qi refining period, he can basically return home within a day.
However, after Wu Hao came to the Red Lotus Sect, he rarely saw him go back. This is true even during the Chinese New Year.
His affection for the family can be imagined.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Hao wrote off the festival of that girl just because of Situ Xiaoming's relationship.
As for the rest of the festivals except for the sisters, he still remembers them vividly.
Well, he's just stubborn!
The Situ family was the first major setback he encountered after discovering Akr. So I was deeply impressed in his heart.
Speaking of which, people didn't mess with him, and they didn't get in the way of him.
But he just has such a hurdle in his heart.
There is a way...... The thief does not go empty.
It's not a nice word, but that's what it means.
So he kept thinking about it, thinking that one day he would be able to get the field back.
This kind of longing is not as unforgettable as hatred, nor is it at all to the extent that midnight dreams come back to the heart.
It was only when he occasionally heard someone mention the Situ family that he suddenly realized: "Damn, I still have something to do?"
Just like after meeting Qian Bao'er, Wu Hao rarely remembered the affairs of the Situ family, but now that these two miners and villagers mentioned it, he once again remembered his experience of being deflated in the Situ family.
I didn't get any benefits, and I dug the mine for three days in vain.
Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice......
Hearing these two mention the matter of the Situ family, Wu Hao suddenly smelled an opportunity and asked.
It is rumored that when the treasure of heaven and earth is born, there must be something abnormal, and it seems to be similar to the current situation of the Situ family......
As a subsidiary family of the Red Lotus Sect, the Situ family does not seem to have any abnormal situation reported to the Red Lotus Sect recently.
And it is impossible for ordinary people who have fallen into the Taoist Technique to lie, so it should be that they blocked the news.
There's probably something wrong with that......
It's not far away anyway. Moreover, Wu Hao will go to Shu next month, and it will be difficult to go to the Situ family when the time comes.
Why don't you take this opportunity to explore and see if there are any opportunities......
him!
