Chapter 268 Head of Household
"Two old men, step back!"
Lin Shu's mind regained clarity and she slammed the spear in her hand.
'Buzz~'
He picked up the iron spear and shook it, then joined the battle immediately.
'Boom~boom~boom~'
"Moo~moo~moo~"
"Roar~Roar~"
‘Ouch~woo~’
The shopkeeper, who was ready to fight to the death, heard Shuwawa's childish voice.
There was a gleam of light in his eyes. He was the only one who knew how many attackers had come outside the courtyard.
In order to ensure the safety of the two brothers and the livestock, most of the attackers were deliberately lured to the front yard.
"Old Hu, it's time for us to take a break." The shopkeeper said with relief.
He is an old man who listens to advice, and he hates people who say one thing in front of you and another behind your back.
Old Hu, the shopkeeper and the waiter all retreated to a safe area with their weapons.
If anyone wants to escape, they can always finish them off.
...
After the six joined in, there was a huge earthquake and screams.
The last three people standing had blood dripping from their bodies.
At this point, they were at the end of their strength and had no courage to resist at all.
'choke~'
Just as they were about to throw away their weapons and weapons, the gate of the inn was opened.
The people held torches, lighting up the inside and outside of the inn as bright as day.
...
The shopkeeper had injuries all over his body and his face was as pale as paper.
Lin Hongyi bandaged him and helped him sit on a stool.
“Thank you, little brother.
I cannot repay you for saving my life, so I am willing to help you take the saddle off your horse." The shopkeeper said sincerely.
Lin Shu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and almost thought that he wanted to pledge himself to her.
Fortunately, I wasn’t so confused that I couldn’t hear clearly.
The mysterious shopkeeper completely shattered her three views.
This is a great master who lives in seclusion in the city. I don’t know why he is guarding here.
"Let's talk about it later. We have other things to deal with right now." The shopkeeper said as he looked at the crowd outside the yard.
Lin Shu understood immediately and called back the six, and stood behind the two old men with Lin Hongyi, acting as a background.
...
An hour later, the inn was cleaned.
Knife marks could be seen everywhere in the house, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.
There was reluctance and sadness in everyone's eyes, and some people even wiped away tears in public.
After a rustling sound, dozens of bundles appeared at the door of the inn.
"Boss, I want to go with you." Changshan brought his family and stood in front of the crowd and said.
"I'll go with the shopkeeper too." Liu Qingshan followed his friend's steps.
"And I!"
"And I!"
The people carrying the bags expressed their opinions one after another. The tranquility of Qingwei Town was broken and those who stayed behind would never have peace.
On the one hand, there is the strict management of the government that does not allow people to leave the county, and on the other hand, there are the revenge of bandits and pirates.
Those who stay can only leave Qingwei Town as they wish by squeezing out every last drop of oil from their bodies.
"You have to think carefully, you will be a refugee if you go there.
We all have families to support, so we need to think clearly before doing anything and never act impulsively.
I am an old man, I can be buried anywhere." The shopkeeper looked at the crowd and consoled them.
“It is the Qing family that has protected Qingwei Town for generations and given us a peaceful and happy life.
After so many years of comfortable life, it is time for us to make some contribution to the Qing family." Chen Minglang raised his right hand.
"We should not forget our roots. Don't forget that we are servants of the Qing family."
After these words were spoken, many people fell into deep thought, especially the younger generation.
Some people have forgotten their roots.
Most people don't want to talk about their days as slaves.
When someone mentioned the past, they remembered the real reason for staying in Qingwei Town.
'Protect the head of the family, defend Qingwei Town, and resist the invasion of foreign tribes.'
If they can't even protect the head of the family, how can they resist the invasion of foreign invaders from the south?
The government is inactive, people are living in poverty, and people in all places are suffering.
They are almost unable to survive, so how can they defend Qingwei Town?
"Okay, go back and pack your luggage and gather at the town gate in an hour." Shopkeeper Qing nodded.
"Thank you, Master!"
After the unanimous shouts, only a few people who were well prepared were left on the scene.
Without the owner's permission, no one dared to enter the inn to wait.
...
"Shuwawa, come and give the old man a hand." Shopkeeper Qing stretched out his hand and said weakly.
Those who had been confused for a long time finally understood.
The plain-looking old man in front of him was the head of the clan.
It seems like the family is dwindling, without even any offspring.
What use is there for this owner to come here!
Lin Shu didn’t understand what the meaning of a family guarding here was.
She was from a poor family, how could she understand these profound issues?
It is better to take care of your own little piece of land.
Worrying too much will not make you grow taller, but will also cause you to lose hair.
She doesn't want to become a bald old lady at such a young age.
...
Shopkeeper Qing lay on Niu Yi's broad back and looked at the dark sky.
Smelling the blood in the air, he said calmly.
“Two hundred years ago, the head of the Qing family received a great opportunity because of a good deed.
Leave a message when you leave.
'The Qing family has protected Qingwei Town for generations.'
By our generation, my brother and I are the only direct descendants of the Qing family.
My elder brother is naturally intelligent and has a good physique, and is deeply loved by the head of the family.
In order to give him a better future, the Qing family spent all their money to find a famous teacher for him.
Since then, my brother never came back.
And I am just a useless person who does nothing but tease cats and dogs.
Later, he simply took over his brother's position as the head of the family and stayed to become a local emperor.
In order to repay their gratitude, Qingwei Town trapped the Qing family for more than two hundred years.
In order to prevent things from going any further, I became a loner.”
'Ge~Ding~'
Lin Shu's heart sank. She didn't expect the whole thing to turn out like this.
Just because of a word from the elders of the Qing family, the entire family has been guarding here for hundreds of years.
The so-called Qingwei Town is probably that person’s hometown!
Maybe it was just a joke, but the head of the Qing family is too sentimental.
They have imprisoned their descendants in this remote corner.
...
Under the guidance of Shopkeeper Qing, Lin Shu moved the horse trough stone from the empty yard.
Lin Shu easily lifted the stone slab weighing five or six hundred kilograms.
Revealing a black hole underneath.
Shopkeeper Qing threw down a torch and said sadly.
“Back then, when my brother left home, he told me to protect the Qing family’s property.
Before my parents passed away, they asked me to take good care of the Qing family's property.
I haven't opened it once since my brother left home.
Now that we are leaving, it is time to expose the Qing family's wealth."
Shopkeeper Qing was somewhat excited, for he also wanted to know what kind of property there was.
Due to poor management, he never touched his property when he was in dire straits.
I just hope that one day I can personally hand all these things over to my brother.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
He only understood this sentence when he got old.
His family waited for him all his life, but no one remembered him.
Lin Shu tied the rope and slowly slid down the cave.
The stone chamber of about ten square meters was filled with dust as thick as a finger.
An old black wooden box lay in the corner, waiting lonely.
Lin Shu searched carefully and found no other caves.
She carefully picked up the black wooden box, the padlock hanging loosely on it.
She was afraid that her breathing would be too strong and the padlock would be blown away.
