Chapter 340 Origin
Rong Cang didn't expect Grandpa Hai to agree. After all, whenever he mentioned that he wanted to leave the village, he would refuse and was unwilling to leave the village no matter what.
Seeing that he agreed, Rong Cang immediately began to pack up.
As for why he agreed, he was too lazy to think about it.
The so-called cleaning was nothing more than a torn quilt, a pot with a missing opening, and two bowls.
After packing the luggage and putting it on his back, Rong Cang supported Rong Hai and slowly walked out of the village.
Hearing the coughing sound coming from beside his ear, Rong Cang felt particularly heavy in his heart.
Grandpa Hai’s condition is getting worse and worse, and we can’t delay any longer.
He must make money as soon as possible and then hire a doctor for Grandpa Hai.
But he had not walked far when he was stopped by someone.
Looking at the person who stopped him, he pursed his lips:
"What's up?"
…
Lin Mo is very busy.
Building a town, no matter how ordinary and simple it is, is by no means an ordinary matter.
What's more, they were targeted as soon as they arrived here.
Xu Feng brought news that a group of bandits nearby had targeted them and were planning to attack them tonight.
So she also had to be busy setting up defenses.
If they want to gain a foothold here, they must fight this battle beautifully.
So at this moment, she found Qi Zhengfei.
Qi Zhengfei has experience in leading troops in battle, so there will be no problem asking him for advice.
The two studied the map and finally decided on a plan.
Lin Mo thought carefully about each link and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems.
"Qi Zhengfei, there's still time. Tell everyone to take a break. I'm afraid it's going to be a fierce battle tonight."
Lin Mo was a little worried.
She had no experience in this area, especially when Old Xu was not around, she always felt like something was missing.
Qi Zhengfei nodded, “Madam Lin, I know.
Don't worry, if this group of bandits only has about a hundred people, they will definitely not be our opponents."
Qi Zhengfei is very confident about this.
Even though they are disabled, it doesn't mean they are useless.
It’s more than enough to deal with some bandits!
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded.
After Qi Zhengfei went downstairs, she called Xu Ping'an and asked him to prepare more food, especially meat.
Only when you are full can you have the strength to kill the enemy.
Only after giving all the instructions did Lin Mo come out of the tent.
As soon as she came out, Xu Qing came back with the boy named Rong Cang.
"Young Madam, the person has been brought here." Xu Qing looked respectful!
Lin Mo nodded, "Well, thank you for your hard work."
Then her eyes fell on Rong Cang, who was supporting an old man.
"Ready to leave Beijia Village?"
Judging from the way he helped the old man, you can tell that he has a good character.
Rong Cang nodded, "Yes.
The people in Beijia Village do not welcome us. If we, the grandparents and I, stay here, we will definitely be bullied by them.
It would be better to live in another village, where you can feel more at ease."
He is quite self-aware.
Lin Mo took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it over:
“You are too young for this hard work.
Although I can't keep you working here, I can lend you money.
You must remember, when you turn eighteen, you must pay me back double!"
After saying that, she stuffed the banknote in her hand into Rong Cang's hand.
Rong Cang looked at the amount on the banknote, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart beat faster.
One hundred taels!
He suddenly felt that the silver note was extremely hot. He wanted to return it, but when he thought of Grandpa Hai's situation, he slowly withdrew his outstretched hand.
He looked up at Lin Mo, his expression becoming serious:
"Why did you lend me so much money? You're not afraid that I'll take the money and run away, are you?"
"You won't return it?" Lin Mo shook his head:
“You’re not that kind of person.
Besides, a hundred taels is a good thing for me to know that I don’t have the ability to judge people, so that I won’t make the same mistake again in the future.
Rong Cang pursed his lips, his expression serious:
"I will pay it back. When I turn eighteen, I will return it with two hundred taels of silver."
"I know, but there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself." Lin Mo smiled:
"I'm just betting a hundred taels on your bright future. If you succeed, you'll owe me a favor.
This is much more valuable than one hundred taels.
If you feel guilty, then work hard and make a name for yourself."
"Yes." Rong Cang nodded solemnly, "I will!"
There is still a blood feud waiting for him to avenge in his Rong family.
Also, he will repay this favor!
"Okay, if you want to leave Beijia Village, you should leave quickly while there is still time. It will be dark if you don't leave." Lin Mo asked him to leave quickly.
This child is definitely not an ordinary person, and the old man next to him is also not an ordinary person at first glance.
So it’s worth betting one hundred taels on his future possibilities!
Rong Cang nodded at her and supported Rong Hai, who had been silent, as they walked out of the village.
And he had already hidden the banknote close to his body.
Rong Hai turned around and glanced behind him:
"Master, you must remember the other party's great kindness.
At this time, the person who is willing to lend you money is a good person."
He had eaten rice for decades longer than the young master, and he saw through the other party's purpose at a glance.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
This lady is a smart person.
When she lent the young master the money, she never thought that he would return it, and she said this just because she didn't want him to have the idea of getting something for nothing.
"Well, Grandpa Hai, I will remember the great kindness of the Xu family." Rong Cang said with a serious face.
Although the Rong family fell into hardship, they knew how to repay kindness.
The other person was exiled here, but he was willing to help me, which showed that he was a good person.
Unlike the other two families I met last night, they didn't treat me well at all and even pushed me down because I was blocking their way.
"What, Xu family?" Rong Hai stopped and nervously grasped Rong Cang's arm:
"Quick, tell me which Xu it is?"
Rong Hai's voice was filled with excitement.
Rong Cang was puzzled, but shook his head:
"Grandpa Hai, they didn't raise a banner, so I don't know which Xu it was."
Seeing his anxious look, Rong Cang quickly continued:
"Grandpa Hai, don't worry, I'll go ask."
"Hurry, go!" Rong Hai released his hand and urged him to go and ask.
He looked at Rong Cang running forward, and Rong Hai's eyes turned red. Because of excitement, he started coughing heart-wrenchingly again.
Rong Cang came back soon.
And brought back the news that Rong Hai wanted to hear.
Rong Hai suppressed the cough that was about to come out of his mouth. He now finally understood why the head of the family asked him to stay here with the young master.
Xu family!
The Prince of Anping's Palace also suffered disaster!
The master had long guessed that the Xu family would be exiled to Beijia Village, so he asked them to wait here.
The Xu family knows their identities and will definitely not ignore the young master.
Very good!
Holding Rong Cang's arm, Rong Hai couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing Rong Hai crying, Rong Cang was surprised and quickly tried to persuade him:
"Grandpa Hai, don't get excited. You'll start coughing if you get excited."
He didn't understand why Grandpa Hai was so excited when he heard about the Xu family of Anping Palace.
But he was worried that Grandpa Hai would get too excited and something might happen.
Rong Hai took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then he grabbed Rong Cang's hand and walked forward:
"Let's go find the head of the Xu family!
Young Master, I finally understand why the Patriarch asked us to come here.
One reason was to escape pursuit, and the other was to wait for the people from Anping Palace."
Rong Cang was puzzled and frowned:
"Grandpa Hai, why did my grandfather ask us to come here to wait for people from Anping Palace?
Does our Rong family know anyone from the Xu family of Anping Palace?
Why have I never heard of this?”
Rong Hai suppressed his excitement, his eyes becoming deep and distant:
“Master, it’s not surprising that you don’t know.
Because only the master of the family can know this secret. I have been with the master since I was a child and have worked for him, so I know some of it."
Rong Hai paused for a moment before continuing:
“In fact, the Rong family is also a descendant of the Xu family. When the ancestor of the Xu family was first named King of Anping, his wife gave birth to twins.
The two knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. For the sake of the Xu family's bloodline, they announced to the outside world that they had only one son. The younger son took his mother's surname Rong and inherited everything from the Rong family.
Moreover, this secret is only known to the heads of the two families. The two families, one open and one secret, complement each other.
These are only verbally communicated by the head of the family when passing on the throne."
It’s a pity that the accident happened before the head of the family had the chance to tell the young master!
Rong Hai's eyes turned red.
Rong Cang never thought that he was a descendant of the Xu family of Anping Palace. For a moment, he was stunned.
Rong Hai looked at Rong Cang seriously:
"Now do you know why those people failed to find any money in the Rong family, which was known as the richest family in Jiangnan, when the tragedy happened?
That's because the Rong family used most of their earnings to support the Anping Palace, so they don't have much money at all."
When the Rong family was in trouble, he asked the head of the family why he didn't ask the Anping Palace for help, and why he didn't let him take the young master to the Anping Palace for refuge. At that time, the head of the family just gave him a bitter smile and let him take the young master and quietly leave the Rong family.
He thought that the Prince of Anping's Mansion had betrayed and abandoned the Rong family, and he even hated the Prince of Anping's Mansion for a while.
Now, all the doubts have been answered.
It turned out that the head of the family guessed that if something happened to the Rong family, something would definitely happen to the Anping Palace as well, so he asked him to bring the young master to Beijia Village.
Beijia Village is the closest village to Beiling. Soldiers from Beiling often sneak here to plunder, and bandits are even more rampant.
It seems that the head of the family guessed the Emperor Daye's thoughts.
The Anping Prince's Mansion had made great military achievements and had never rebelled.
Emperor Daye took the people into consideration and did not dare to directly cut off the bloodline of the Anping Palace.
So, they were exiled here, hoping to use Beiling to eliminate the bloodline of the Anping Palace. How cruel!
Rong Hai took a deep breath:
"Come on, Master, let's go over there!"
