Chapter 32: The Black Panther and the Boy (22)
After the Liu family left the mountain village from Liukongqing's ancestor to study medicine, they arrived in Liukongqing and were already the fifth generation.
Grandpa Gao married his master's only daughter and got the Yue family's property, a medical center.
Grandpa Gao and his wife had two sons, the eldest son inherited his mantle as a physician, but the younger son liked business, and expanded his own medical clinic to five restaurants, not to mention, and mixed it into the business of medicinal materials.
But when he went out to sell medicine, he met a mountain bandit, and left at a young age, leaving no son and half a daughter, and let the old father send the black-haired man to the old father, heartbroken.
Therefore, Grandpa Gao left a testament, and the descendants of the Liu family will either inherit his mantle as a doctor, or open a medical clinic honestly, and they will never be allowed to go out to run business, let alone fall into the eyes of money.
Later people are quite obedient, just be honest, anyway, it's quite profitable to open a medical center.
When Liu Kongqing's grandfather took charge, although the number of medical centers at home has not increased, it is very famous.
Not to mention that later Old Man Liu was recruited into the palace by the monarch of Xia Guoguo to become the imperial doctor, and the reputation of the Liu family and the name of "Pingkangtang" reached its peak.
It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
First of all, when the only son of the Liu family, Master Liu, took his daughter-in-law back to his mother's house in Fengguo to visit relatives, he encountered banditry and both of them were gone;
The old couple of the Liu family finally cheered up because of their grandson and wanted to raise their grandson well, but the old man Liu was framed again.
The reason why the grandfather and grandson of the Liu family left the national capital at the beginning, in addition to the reason that Grandma Liu died of illness, was that among his group of apprentices, someone actually colluded with the people who framed him, and wanted to take the opportunity to change the master of Pingkangtang.
Old Man Liu was a tough man, so he simply took off the signboard of his own medical hall, sold all the industries in the capital cheaply, and then left with his grandson.
But in addition to having an industry in the country, their family also has mountains, land, and Zhuangzi elsewhere, all of which are managed by faithful and reliable old servants.
In addition, the dowries of the four generations of daughters-in-law of the Liu family are also worth a lot of money, all of which were sealed by the old man Liu, the title deed, and some gold and silver in the Chase Money Village that opened all over the Seven Kingdoms, and can only be taken out through specific tokens.
And the reason why Old Man Liu took his grandson back to Gaozu's hometown like a lost dog was not only because there was the Liu clan here, but also because he wanted to confuse those who harmed him and leave a way for his grandson to live.
And after he felt that his body could not support the next spring, he began to sell the "family property" he brought on a large scale.
But in fact, this is just Old Man Liu's strategy, lest after he goes, those improper eating and drinking decorations and floating wealth will harm his grandson.
And with his grandson's ability, even if he doesn't have these "family businesses", he will never starve to death.
I have to say that in terms of preparing for a rainy day, Liu Kongqing is very similar to his grandfather.
It's just that what Old Man Liu and Liu Kongqing didn't expect was that although Liu Kongqing was not starved to death, his life was not as easy as he imagined.
He even fell into an abandoned trap pit in search of food.
If it weren't for the immortality, I'm afraid that the grass on the graves of the two of them would be the same height.
......
Now that we know that this winter will be colder than last year, we naturally need to store more food.
After harvesting the grain again, the clan elders were ready to start organizing the clansmen into the mountains.
It can be said that except for those who can't walk and those who can't walk, the entire Liujia Village went out collectively.
And before that, Liu Kongqing had already reminded Changsheng that she should avoid the clansmen at that time and never appear in front of the clansmen.
Liu Kongqing, who is twelve years old, is no longer as ignorant as he was when he first met Changsheng.
Changsheng's delicate appearance doesn't look like a lynx in the forest at all.
Although Changsheng was able to ensure that he would not be discovered by the people of Liujia Village, under the worried eyes of the child, he still agreed.
However, Changsheng also put forward a condition, asking the child to play with her all day in the future.
The child wished that Changsheng would always be with him, so he naturally agreed happily.
The sphere of influence divided by the ancestors of Liujia Village and the beasts is roughly bounded by the water source in the middle of the mountainside.
Generally speaking, whether it is a human or a beast, it is passed down from generation to generation, and this boundary is rarely broken.
Except for the fifty-yearly cold season.
Humans have to store more food, fur and firewood for warmth, and the same goes for animals.
However, the beasts will migrate deeper into the forest in the harsh winter, partly because the temperature here is higher than the outside world, and partly because they don't want to run into humans.
This is definitely a lesson in blood, engraved in the bones.
Wild beasts will bite people when they are in a hurry, and humans will not only bite back when they are in a hurry, but they may also do even more terrible things.
I don't know how many years ago, in order to survive the cold season, the beasts had a narrow encounter with humans, and no one wanted to be humble.
After killing an unknown number of people and beasts, humans finally couldn't help but go crazy, and they set fire to the mountain.
It is not known how many animals died in that fire, but the forest where people and animals came from was destroyed.
Later, before the harsh winter sets in, the beasts will head to the deeper mountains and forests, where humans do not set foot.
The day when Liujia Village entered the mountains was not a blind choice, after three or four explorations by Orion, it was determined that the beasts in the mountains and forests had begun to migrate to the deep mountains.
And Changsheng didn't pay much attention to this, after all, she didn't lack food or drink, and there was no need to confront those big beasts.
It was still the child who gossiped about her and reminded her to store more food, and Changsheng remembered that there had indeed been less wolf howling at night recently.
And then there's shame.
She, the king of Jiming Mountain, really failed too much, she actually learned such important news from the mouth of a human being, failure, failure.
But the cold season?
Once every fifty years, for five years?
As soon as Changsheng's mind turned, he knew how this cold season came about.
The formation that separates the land and sea from the outside world has been opened.
However, it is obvious that the cultivation of the people who came here is not high, at most they are foundation building monks, so it takes five years to go back and forth from the "Tianhai Sea Curtain" to the sea and land.
And the supply island between the two is supposed to be for these people.
Immortals could even guess why these people had come—to test the Spiritual Root.
But Liu Kongqing didn't know about this news, the people in Liujia Village didn't know, and even Old Man Liu didn't know.
It is thought that it is controlled within a certain range, and most likely only the members of the major royal families know about it.
I have to say that most smart people can understand it a little, and Changsheng's guess is that the truth can be described as accurate.
It's just a foundation building monk, and Changsheng doesn't bother to care, and what she is thinking about now is that the child's birthday is approaching.
The child had told her everything about himself, including his birthday, which was the last day of October.
On her birthday last year, the child and she didn't know each other.
I met this year, and it was her first birthday with her children, so she naturally had to plan carefully.
But in fact, the conditions are limited and there are too many restrictions, even if she asked Xiaolu to make a birthday cake, she had to rack her brains to think of a less abrupt reason.
It's really sad for her.
