Chapter 12: Ancient Heaven
Ishihara County is located in the northwest of the remote Huangzhou, and Woniu Town is located at the edge of Ishihara County.
This town is called Shizhong Town, and because of Ishihara Prefecture alone, it is more than ten times richer than Woniu Town.
The four members of the Wu family, dressed in simple clothes, walked into a teahouse, ready to eat something, and even cultivators were a little overwhelmed by running all night.
While the four of them were gobbling up, a noisy and scolding sound came from outside the store.
"You have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and you don't even look at whose territory this is, and you dare to go wild here?!"
"Bang", with a scolding, a figure fell into the store from outside the door, and the four members of the Wu family happened to be sitting at the table near the door, and the figure was knocked away and fell straight on the table of the four members of the Wu family.
The food flew and splashed the four members of the Wu family, and Wu Laosan was about to have a seizure, but was secretly stopped by Wu Kun.
"You kid, you actually came to my Shizhong Town to make a fool!
There was another shout, and a group of thug-looking people surrounded a strong man of five big and three thick into the store.
The figure of the four members of the Wu family who fell on the table at this time, dressed in a white robe, looked like a weak scholar, struggled to get up from the table, and stood on the corner of the table, his face pale.
"Help me... I am from the ancient family in Ishihara County, and when I return to the county seat, I will be thanked!"
The man in white looked at Wu Tian and the others, and said weakly.
"God, don't bother with such idle things!"
Wu Kun whispered to Wu Tian, for fear that Wu Tian's mind would be hot and he would take care of this idle matter.
With the current situation of the Wu family, it is really not suitable to manage.
The man in white also heard what Wu Kun said, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes.
"Big brother and slow, how much silver taels does this son owe you?"
Wu Tian didn't pay attention to Wu Kun's words, but walked straight forward and protected the man in white behind him, and a hint of surprise flashed in the man in white's eyes.
"Hmph! This kid is out of my Wanguan Casino, and he wants to chop off his hands according to the rules."
The strong man paused and continued: "If you can take out a thousand taels of silver, you will spare this kid!"
When the strong man at the head saw Wu Tian stand up, he didn't continue to persecute him, after all, chopping off his hands was not as good as taking money.
"Okay! I'll pay this thousand taels for this son!"
Wu Tianyan agreed without blinking, and turned his head to look at Wu Lao Er, who kept the money.
"Oh my God, we didn't bring much with us this time, this..."
"Shaoxia, as long as you save me, when I return to Ishihara County, I will be repaid!"
The man in white seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, grabbed the corner of Wu Tian's clothes and said quickly.
"Second uncle, this person is destined for me, so let's save him once!"
Wu Tian looked at Wu Lao Er directly, Wu Lao Er had no choice, so he could only untie the package, take out five thousand taels of white eyes and hand it to the strong man.
"Hmph! Count you kid lucky today! Return to the ancient family in Ishihara County, just like you?" haha..."
The strong man took the silver, joked a few words, laughed and walked away.
"In Xia Gutian, thank you Shaoxia for your help! When I return to Ishihara County, I will definitely repay you!"
The man in white named Gu Tian hugged his fist towards Wu Tian.
"Hehe, I'll just say that the two of us are destined, my name is Wu Tian. ”
Wu Tian smiled and looked at Gu Tian again.
This Gu Tian was dressed in white, although it looked very simple, but Wu Tian could see at a glance that the clothes on this Wu Tian were all fine ice silk, and ordinary people could not afford this kind of high-end clothing.
"When we go out this time, we are going to the county seat, why don't we go on the road with Brother Gu?"
"This is very good! I also want to go back to the county seat and go with Brother Wu, and I just want to repay Brother Wu for saving me today!"
Wu Kun also saw Gu Tian's clothes, and roughly guessed Wu Tian's intentions, so he acquiesced to Gu Tian's fellow travelers.
With the footsteps of the four members of the Wu family, it will take at most two hours to reach Ishihara County, but now there is a weak Gu Tian, and the speed has been slowed down a lot, Wu Tian is not in a hurry, and there is no stubble chatting with Gu Tian.
The ancient family was originally a wealthy gentry family in this Shiyuan County, and the ancestors once produced a master of the Jindan period, and no one in the entire Shiyuan County was unsurpassed, and even the county order had to be polite when he saw it, and he was the guest of honor of the governor of Huangzhou.
But since the death of this ancestor of the Jindan period, the family has never produced a master of the Jindan period, and the family has gradually declined, and in the generation of Gutian's father, even the master of the foundation building period has not appeared, originally Brother Gutian is very likely to break through the foundation building period, but when he went out, he died in the wilderness inexplicably.
Since then, the Gu family has completely declined, and the business has basically been lost, and in time, the Gu family is likely to be driven out of the ranks of the gentry and become an ordinary family.
And Gu Tian himself, who does not like cultivation by nature, is obsessed with poetry and songs, and drinks and composes poems all day long.
When Brother Gu Tian was still there, the family didn't pay much attention to Gu Tian, so they let him go.
And after the unexpected death of Brother Gu Tian, the burden of the entire Gu family fell on Gu Tian's shoulders, but he was used to being idle since he was a child, and the cultivation tasks set by the family could not be completed at all, and over time, he also let it go and gave up.
This time, Gu Tian secretly came to this Shizhong Town for the sake of his sweetheart.
Gu Tian and Xiqin were originally a master-servant relationship, Xiqin followed Gu Tian to serve left and right since he was a child, and then the family was in the middle of the road and couldn't afford to raise too many servants, so the Gu family sold the unpopular Gu Tian's maid Xiqin to the servant dealers, and finally Xiqin was sold to Shizhong Town.
And Gu Tian had no money to redeem Xiqin, so he went to Wanguan Casino to fight, but he was kicked out by the evil man and extorted a thousand taels of silver.
After Gu Tian finished speaking, he sighed, and he was endlessly lonely.
Wu Tian didn't speak when he listened, the way of the world is like this, the weak eat the strong, no matter how brilliant you once were, if there is no one who can support the family in future generations, the Haogin clan will also decline into an ordinary family, or even an ordinary family.
"I don't know where Brother Wu's family lives, why did you come to this Shiyuan County?"
"I have a similar experience with my ancient brother, my Wu family itself is also a wealthy gentry in Shiqu County, but unfortunately it has also fallen, and I was cornered by the enemy, and finally escaped with my father and two uncles, looking for a livelihood in this Shiyuan County, hoping to repeat the glory of the ancestors!"
Wu Tian made up a reason, which made Gu Tian suddenly feel that he hated to see each other late and felt a sense of sympathy.
"In that case, why don't you go to my Gu family to settle down first, and then make plans in the future? No matter how much my Gu family declines, it will still make a living!"
Gu Tian looked at Wu Tian expectantly, with a simple expression.
"Then it's going to bother Brother Gu!"
Wu Tian politely hugged his fists.
The three elders of the Wu family who were walking in front also heard the conversation between the two, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of Wu Kun's mouth.
Heaven has grown up!
