Chapter 19
Jiang Laoxiucai returned to his hometown and opened a private school. The family lived a comfortable life. However, after Jiang Da was born, Jiang Laoxiucai's parents fell seriously ill one after another. In order to treat the two elderly people, the family savings were spent a lot, and Jiang Laoxiucai did not have much money left.
Although the money was spent, the two elderly people's illnesses were not cured, and the two elderly people passed away one after another.
Later, when Jiang Er grew up to three years old, Jiang Laoxiucai finally had some money left, but at this time, the old scholar also fell ill. In order to treat the old scholar, all the money in the family was spent, and even owed a lot of foreign debts.
The illness of Mr. Jiang Lao Xiucai came suddenly and worsened quickly. Soon Mr. Jiang Lao Xiucai also died.
Until the old scholar died of illness, neither Jiang Da nor Jiang Er had official names.
Jiang Da lost his mother when he was young, and he helped the old scholar raise his younger sister. Although he had a lot of control at home and outside, he was still a child after all. After losing his parents, life was difficult.
In order to treat Jiang Laoxiucai, his family borrowed a lot of money.
After the old scholar Jiang died of illness, these people were afraid that the debt would not be returned. Almost as soon as the old scholar Jiang was buried, they came to ask for the debt one after another.
As a three-year-old girl, Jiang Er, even though she was an adult inside, was still frightened by these debt collectors and could only hide behind the six-year-old Jiang Da without saying a word.
Jiang Da was a silent person. When faced with the villagers asking for debts, he said nothing. He just cleared out all the valuable items in his home, converted them into silver, and paid off all the debts.
Jiang Laoxiucai was a private school teacher after all. He paid off most of the debts with the pens, ink, paper, and inkstone he bought when he was studying, as well as the tuition fees he received from teaching students over the years. However, the two little kids had a hard time.
The old scholar was an only child. When the two elders of the Jiang family passed away, the family's fields were rented to the Jiang family of the same village and clan.
According to the relationship of seniority, Jiang Da had to call people Jiang Erye.
After the old scholar passed away, the Jiang family wanted to bully the two little kids, Jiang Da and Jiang Er, but they didn't pay the rent. On the day of rent payment, they dragged their feet and didn't send food to the two little kids.
Although Jiang Da was young, he was not easy to fool.
The next day, he went directly to Jiang Erye's house to ask for food.
Jiang Erye had four sons. When Jiang Da came to the house, the laborers in the family went to work in the fields, leaving only Mrs. Jiang with several children at home.
Mrs. Jiang cried and begged for the little kid Jiang Da to come and ask for rent. She said that Jiang Laoxiucai did rent the land to her family at the beginning, but later the Jiang family lived in poverty, so Jiang Laoxiucai sold the land to her family.
Last year, his family was kind and sent some food to Jiang family to help them through the difficult times when old scholar Jiang was seriously ill. Who knew that Jiang Da would be so ungrateful and come to ask for rent this year?
Old Mrs. Jiang made a big scene and attracted many people in the village to watch. Some people called the men of Jiang family from the fields and told them about this matter.
Although Jiang Da was only six years old at the time, he looked calm and composed, not like a six-year-old child.
When old Mrs. Jiang cried, he said nothing. After someone else, Jiang Erye, called him home, Jiang Da looked at Jiang Erye and asked coldly whether what old Mrs. Jiang said was true and whether he, as the head of the family, also said the same thing.
The six-year-old boy, who was only half the height of a man, still spoke in a childish voice, but his words were clear and coherent, comparable to those of an adult.
In response to Jiang Da's question, Jiang Erye remained silent. He wanted to agree immediately, but when he saw the cold eyes of the six-year-old boy, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Jiang Da was not in a hurry, but waited for the old man to answer.
After Jiang Erye nodded and agreed with what Old Lady Jiang said, Jiang Da took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it out in front of everyone.
"This is the lease contract my father signed with your family. It clearly states that the land of my Jiang family is leased to your family. Today you have insulted my Jiang family for having no elders and want to turn against me. Then I can only sue the government and let the old man of the county government judge."
Jiang Da's words directly stunned everyone present.
The expression of Jiang Erye became very ugly.
After Jiang Da finished speaking, he folded the papers in his hand and put them back in his arms.
Mrs. Jiang, who was still pretending to be crazy and stupid, turned pale with fear at Jiang Da's words of suing the government, and the crowd of onlookers, looking at the faces of the Jiang family, almost understood what was going on.
In the end, Jiang Da not only successfully got the food back from Jiang Erye, but because of this incident, no one in the entire Huaihua Village dared to look down on him anymore.
However, with two half-grown children and no other income, the food that Jiang Da got from Jiang Erye's house was not much left after paying taxes. No matter how thrifty Jiang Da was, the two of them still lived a tight life.
That winter, there was really not much food left at home. Jiang Da gritted his teeth and sneaked into the deep mountains behind Huaihua Village.
No one knew what Jiang Da encountered in the deep mountains. They only knew that three days later, Jiang Da came back from the deep mountains, covered in blood, dragging a wild roe deer.
Jiang Er has been following a system since he was born.
The system only told her that she had traveled to a melodramatic novel and that she had to complete the plot mission before she could return, and Jiang Da was the villain boss in the plot.
Before Jiang Er was five years old, although she learned from the system that she was the villain boss, the vicious female supporting role Jiang Da, she did not feel much. It was not until Jiang Da, covered in blood, took Jiang Er, who was fostered, home from the aunt next door, that Jiang Er clearly felt why the villain boss was the villain boss. The news
that Jiang Da, who was eight years old, went into the mountains in winter and killed a wild roe deer spread throughout the Huaihua Village within a day.
Jiang Da not only brought back the wild roe deer, but also dug up a lot of medicinal herbs, which successfully allowed the two siblings to barely survive the winter.
Jiang Er didn't dare to ask about the things Jiang Da brought back from the mountains.
The Jiang family had never had any hunters, except for the farmers who worked in the fields and the scholar Jiang Lao Xiucai.
Hunting and digging herbs.
None of them seemed like something that Jiang Da, who was only eight years old, would know.
Jiang Er didn't dare to say anything, but from then on, he looked at Jiang Da with a hint of fear.
After the New Year, Jiang Er was six years old and Jiang Da was nine years old.
A wandering immortal appeared in Huaihua Village.
The immortal took a liking to Jiang Da at first sight and thought that he had excellent physique and was a good candidate for cultivating immortality. He wanted to accept him as his apprentice and bring him back to the sect to cultivate immortality.
Jiang Er looked at Jiang Da with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, he was shocked that the world he traveled to was not a world of ancient stories, but a world of immortals. On the other hand, he was impressed that Jiang Da was indeed invincible as the villain boss. Many young and strong youths in the village would die in the deep mountains. At the age of eight, he could not only enter the mountains in winter and come out alive, but also make mountain products to support himself and himself.
Of course, the most important thing was that he was still a little worried.
After all, cultivating immortality! What kind of future would there be in their small, broken village of Huaihua Village? There was no doubt that Jiang Da would follow the immortal!
The immortal did not mention Jiang Er's heel bone talent, and he was definitely planning to take Jiang Da alone.
Jiang Er didn't know whether he should cry and hug Jiang Da's legs to beg him not to abandon him, or cry and hug the immortal's legs, asking the immortal to carry him back to the immortal gate.
However, before Jiang Er could think more, Jiang Da rejected the immortal with two words: "No."
The immortal was also very surprised that Jiang Da rejected him so quickly, and looked at Jiang Da with a bit of anger on his face.
But he still valued the talent, so the immortal quickly calmed down and promised Jiang Da again: "You don't have to answer me now. I'll give you three days to think about it. Three days later, I'll come here to find you at si. When you have considered it clearly, tell me whether you want to become my disciple and return to Xixianmen with me."
When the immortal left, he rode a fairy crane in front of all the villagers of Huaihua Village.
As soon as the immortal left, a group of people from the village gathered at the door of Jiang's house to watch the excitement.
This was the first time that the villagers looked at the two little kids of the Jiang family with envy after the death of old scholar Jiang.
But Jiang Da seemed to be a person who had nothing to do. Every day, he did what he had to do as before.
Fetching water, washing clothes, cooking, going up the mountain to dig herbs, and selling them at the town clinic.
Three days passed in a flash.
The immortal who had said he would take Jiang Da with him did not show up until the afternoon. The villagers first surrounded the Jiang family and watched the excitement with envy, then whispered and speculated that the immortal had angered Jiang Da and would no longer show up. Then, when everyone dispersed, they spit on Jiang Da for being ignorant and being hated by the immortal.
However, the villagers' discussion only lasted one day.
That evening, the clouds in the sky were unusually red.
The immortal, who was originally dressed in a snow-white robe and looked like an immortal, was dyed red by blood.
He fell from the clouds, his eyes were red, and behind him were a group of huge beasts with equally red pupils.
Jiang Er didn't remember much of what happened after that evening.
She only remembered that she traveled to Huaihua Village, an ordinary little village where she had lived for six years, and in just a moment, it became a purgatory, and those uncles, aunts, and uncles she was familiar with on weekdays became food for the beasts.
Jiang Da was trapped by the magic weapon in the hands of the immortal, and watched coldly as the group of strange beasts following behind him devoured the villagers and then killed each other again.
Jiang Er was also one of those hunted people.
In the six years since he came here, Jiang Er has been well taken care of by Jiang Da. Although the family has been living in poverty since the death of Jiang Lao, Jiang Da would always leave a bite of food for Jiang Er to eat. If Jiang Er couldn't do the housework well, Jiang Da would simply not let her do it.
So, when these beasts attacked, Jiang Er was frightened and paralyzed. She sat on the ground, watching the beasts in front of her open their bloody mouths.
Before the beasts' smelly saliva dripped on her face, Jiang Er fainted.
