In her previous life, Zhao Qingyan grew up in an orphanage. She unexpectedly activated a pocket dimension and began hoarding supplies. After spending all her savings, an accident transported her to...
The shopkeepers were already sweating bullets because of Zhao Qianci's unconventional behavior, and they were wondering to themselves, "How did this old guy plant spies among us?"
This is terrifying. Before I could even figure out the first part, the second part, "He comes from the village of heroes," came up too.
This is outrageous! No wonder this family dares to say anything; they've killed people and seen blood.
Thousands of refugees entered the village, and they were all wiped out. Not to mention Wufang Town, there is only one village in the entire Qingyang County that is so brave.
It is said that everyone in Zhao Family Village, regardless of gender, can wield a knife and kill someone as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Originally, they planned to take advantage of Tian Shun Lou's success to coerce the Zhao family into selling their mala tang recipe to them cheaply.
Now, touching my head, I realize that staying alive is the most important thing.
Therefore, the managers of several restaurants in Qingyang, such as Haiyan Restaurant and Anshun Restaurant, who were more sensible, quickly got up to take their leave.
Hao Xiang was also extremely uneasy. He thought it was a sure thing, but somehow he ran into such a tough opponent.
It seems that none of my previous ideas can be used.
No matter what strategy is used, it's impossible to take down the Zhao family in one fell swoop, especially since they come from Yingyong Village.
The result is that even one fish that escapes the net can wipe out one's entire family.
Sweat poured down his forehead without stopping. In the end, Hao Xiang chose life over face.
He stood up, bowed, and apologized before quickly leaving the Zhao family's backyard.
They ran away as if being chased by a dog.
Hao Xiang was already a slightly overweight person.
As a result, after managing the restaurant for so many years, he ate a lot of good food and drinks himself, and somehow managed to turn a 150-pound fat man into a 200-pound fat man.
From Zhao Jia Tian Shun Lou, it takes at least 45 minutes and less than 30 minutes on foot.
Hao Xiang had completely forgotten about taking the carriage, so he ran all the way home. In less than a quarter of an hour, he ran back to Tianshun Tower.
Once he arrived at his private room, he plopped down on the rocking chair.
He was panting heavily, "ha-ha-ha," and anyone who didn't know better would think that a wild boar had come to life.
After catching my breath, I finally had time to reflect on what had happened that day, and I felt a deep sense of lingering fear.
That's why people say that overthinking is a disease; Hao Xiang was so frightened by his own overthinking that he developed a serious illness.
By the time he recovered, he had lost a full twenty pounds, but that's another story.
As for Zhao Qianci, he sat leisurely in his armchair, watching everyone run off like they were on fire, but he was also in a panic.
In the past, my wife handled all the big and small matters at home. This was the first time something happened, so I had to step in. If I didn't handle it well, my wife would definitely complain that I was incompetent when she came back.
The old man was really conflicted. He was afraid of making a fool of himself if he didn't handle it well.
After everyone had left, the three Zhao brothers gave Zhao Qianci a thumbs-up with great admiration.
"Father, you're amazing. I never realized you were such a good talker before. You drove the enemy away without firing a single shot."
Zhao Yonggeng was the first to flatter him.
Zhao Changgeng and Zhao Minggeng also spared no effort in flattering him.
It's almost as if I'm saying, "My admiration for you is as boundless as a surging river."
This is also Zhao Qingyan's fault for not telling her fathers the story of "The Deer Chronicle".
Zhao Qianci sat down in the chair, quickly composed himself, and tried to calm his pounding heart as soon as possible.
He said, feigning profundity,
"These are all child's play. When facing external enemies, the first thing to do is to remain calm."
Only by remaining calm can one discover the opponent's flaws and find their weaknesses.
Zhao Minggeng, that simpleton, almost killed Zhao Qianci with his question: "Then, Father, what did you discover about their weaknesses?"
A single word, "Get out," ended the sycophantic frenzy in the Zhao family's main room.
The Zhao family thus avoided a crisis of varying degrees. It's always good to let their strength shine a little.
At this moment, Huang, who was being thought of by the old man, was sweeping the grass in front of her with a stick in her left hand, a large machete in her right hand, and a large basket on her back.
It contained a wild goat.
Originally, the Huang family followed a fixed route to the valley.
But fearing that always taking the same route would make their whereabouts easily discovered, they took a slightly different path.
Because of a small deviation in her eyes, she ended up in a place that resembled a wild ranch.
This is a large basin with wild goats, wild deer, wild horses, and wild buffalo.
Such a good natural pasture must be surrounded by wild animals.
Just then, a tiger came along hunting, which disrupted the herd of goats.
A wild goat, in a panic, ran towards the direction of the Huang family.
It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.
Huang acted decisively, knocking the goat unconscious with a single slap.
Without lingering, they quickly tied the goat's hooves and mouth with rope, threw it into their basket, and left.
"Hehe, this is great! Such a wonderful place! We won't need to buy livestock anymore."
"If you need cattle or horses, just come and catch them; that would save you so much money!"
People with great strength are just that awesome; in Huang's world, there is no such thing as "impossible".
If the animals in that natural pasture knew what Huang was thinking, they would definitely curse him three times.
If you go astray, you have to correct it quickly. Fortunately, Mr. Huang has a good sense of direction.
We finally arrived at the valley before sunset.
"Ah, Grandma, what brings you here?" Zhao Qingyan exclaimed excitedly.
God knows how lonely she must have been all alone during this time, with nothing but the sounds of chickens, ducks, and geese.
To get more sound, I repeatedly watched the movies and TV series I downloaded in my past life.
If this continues, she'll probably memorize all the lines.
Seeing her granddaughter's enthusiastic welcome, Mrs. Huang felt very pleased.
"My dear, Grandma missed you so much that I came to see you."
Look at my granddaughter, she seems to have lost weight. Is she missing her milk? Now that the milk is here, I'll have to make you lots of delicious food.
As he spoke, he didn't forget to unload the basket from his back.
"Look, Grandma has discovered a big basin with lots of wild sheep, deer, cattle, horses, and the like."
From now on, our family won't need to spend money buying livestock anymore; we can just catch them and they'll be ready to work. The problem of eating beef is also solved.
These are all wild animals; they can be slaughtered without reporting to the government.
Huang's mind was filled with thoughts of exchanging silver for wild animals.
Zhao Qingyan didn't offer any opinions, but just listened quietly to Huang Shi's rambling.
Humans are social creatures, and Huang's constant chatter made Zhao Qingyan feel the warmth of human presence.
After Huang finished rambling on, she went to her private room.
"Hey, this room of mine looks like it's been cleaned. How did you know Grandma would be coming, sweetie?"
Zhao Qingyan chuckled.
"I was thinking that Grandma misses me and will definitely come to see me."
So I clean every day and also take the blankets outside to air them out.
