Chapter 362 Rong Family Past
"Young Madam, Jia Jie did this on purpose." Xu Ping'an glanced behind him.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes quickly.
"Well, I know, because of Jia Dashan." Lin Mo was very calm.
Jia Dashan is his nephew, so it is impossible for him not to know everything Jia Dashan does.
But Jia Jie never stepped forward to stop it, and it was obvious that he also wanted to benefit from it.
Now that he has not gotten any benefits and his nephew Jia Dashan is injured, Jia Jie must be very angry.
In addition, he is the village chief. In this village, most people have to please him. He is used to being high and mighty, and without the flattery from their side, they will naturally feel dissatisfied.
"Young Madam, why didn't you buy those fields just now?" Xu Ping'an was puzzled:
"It doesn't matter if we don't have those wastelands, but we can have those fields that are close to us."
"Why?" Lin Mo asked back:
“We didn’t buy these fields to farm them ourselves.
Instead, the land was given to the families brought by Qi Zhengfei and his companions to cultivate. If the cultivated land was far away from where they lived, it would be troublesome for them.
I have to buy one anyway, so why not buy one closer to where they live so it’s more convenient for them to work?”
At this point, Lin Mo's mouth curled up in a mocking tone:
“Besides, this Jia Jie is actually a villain.
Even if we were to buy those fields, do you believe it?
As soon as we asked to buy something, he would make things difficult for us with all kinds of excuses and then make all kinds of unreasonable demands.
So, there’s no need for us to waste time on this.”
Xu Ping'an nodded, his expression cold:
"Young Madam, how about changing the head of Beijia Village?
Jia Jie is the village chief. If he makes things difficult for us, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
Changing the village chief will solve the problem once and for all and will also be good for us.
I think Jia Kun can be nominated as the village chief."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you." Lin Mo agreed.
There is no need to stay in their territory if you don't share the same beliefs with them.
Xu Ping'an nodded, "Young Madam, what should we do now?
Do you still want to buy land?"
Lin Mo looked towards the village entrance and said, "Let's go to the village entrance first."
…
Rong Cang finally met Xu Wuyan.
The first time he saw the other person, a feeling of intimacy surged in his heart, making him want to get closer.
But the coldness and alienation from the other party made him stop.
Xu Wuyan glanced at him, his eyes fell on Rong Hai, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"Rong family?"
He adjusted his sitting position and shook his head:
“As far as I know, all the members of the Rong family died in that tragic incident.
You say you are members of the Rong family, so you are?
Where is the evidence?
Without evidence, I won't believe you are a member of the Rong family."
Xu Wuyan held his left hand with his right hand, and the tip of his right thumb gently rubbed the base of his left hand, hiding his nervousness.
He hoped more than anyone else that he was really a member of the Rong family.
Although I hope, I am also cautious because I am afraid of being cheated.
He received the news the day before the incident happened in the Rong family.
He immediately arranged for people to rescue, but it was still too late.
When others arrived at Rong's house, it had been reduced to ashes by the fire, and only dozens of charred bodies were found.
The number of burnt bodies was consistent with the registered number of the Rong family members.
He originally wanted to investigate the matter himself, but at this time news came out that his father had an accident, so he did not go there in person, but sent a reliable person to investigate.
He didn't believe that the Rong family would be destroyed just like that. Old Master Rong was a wise man and he would definitely have other arrangements.
Rong Hai knew that he would not believe it easily, nor was he angry.
If it were him, he wouldn't trust anyone easily.
Moreover, if he believed it as soon as it was spoken, he would have doubted the other party's intentions.
Rong Hai looked at Rong Cang who was standing beside him and said, "Master, take off your shirt."
Rong Cang didn't say anything, but obediently took off his shirt, revealing his slightly strong and smooth back.
Rong Hai looked at Xu Wuyan seriously:
"After the Rong family's descendants are born, the head of the family will personally tattoo their backs to prove their identity. This is a secret, and no one knows except the head of the family.
Because of the special materials used, this tattoo will disappear after it is tattooed and will only appear when it comes into contact with alcohol.
Moreover, only the heads of the two families know what the pattern of the tattoo looks like.
The head of the family told me this personally when I took the young master away, and this is also the proof of recognition between the two families."
Having said that, he took out a wine bag from his arms and handed it to Xu Wuyan, then turned around and was about to leave.
This is a secret between the two families and he cannot be present.
"Grandpa Hai!" Rong Cang was a little worried.
Rong Hai turned around, his eyes kind, "Master, this is a secret between the Rong and Xu families, and it's not for others to know."
"Grandpa Hai is not an outsider. I believe in Grandpa Hai."
"No!" Rong Hai interrupted him:
“Some things are no longer secrets if one more person knows them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the tent decisively.
Rong Cang was silent.
Xu Wuyan shook his head and stood up, "He did the right thing.
The reason why a secret is a secret is that the fewer people know it.
Do you know why the Rong family was engulfed in fire? Do you think it was set by someone who was going to kill your family?"
Rong Cang frowned, "Isn't it?"
For some reason, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.
"Of course not!" Xu Wuyan shook his head with a touch of respect on his face:
“The fire was set by your grandfather.
Your grandfather was a brilliant and remarkable man.
He had prepared a lot of kerosene at home long ago, so when the Rong family was attacked and almost all the casualties were reported, he set fire to the entire Rong family.
When he could no longer delay, he jumped into the sea of fire and let the fire burn him to death.
He did this to protect you and to prevent the secrets behind your back from being revealed."
Most people can't do this, so Xu Wuyan respects him very much.
The Rong family had been a single-line family for generations. He sent his grandson away early, and then bought a seriously ill child from outside to replace him.
But even so, it is not necessarily safe.
The Rong family was destroyed because their secret was leaked.
The other party naturally also knew the secret hidden on their backs, so the death of the person had no effect on them. What they wanted was the corpse.
The secret is hidden on the corpse. It doesn't matter to them whether the person is dead or alive. They just need to bring the corpse back intact.
That's why Old Man Rong set fire to the Rong family's house and burned the bodies of all the people in the Rong family. Only by seeing the bodies of everyone would these people believe that all the members of the Rong family were dead.
Only Rong Cang, who left secretly early, would be safe.
Therefore, Rong Cang's way of survival was bought by Old Man Rong with his own life.
Rong Cang was shocked.
Soon, his eyes turned red and his body began to shake uncontrollably.
grandfather……
He didn't even know there were so many secrets behind it.
How painful it must have been for his grandfather when he was burned alive.
Hatred rose in Rong Cang's heart.
Xu Wuyan ignored him, unscrewed the lid of the wine bag in his hand, threw a pill into it, and chuckled:
"You know what? Your grandfather still has a trick up his sleeve.
The pattern on your body won't appear with just wine. You need the Xu family's medicine. Your grandfather has made great plans for you!"
After saying that, under Rong Cang's astonished gaze, he took a sip of wine, held it in his mouth, and then sprayed it directly on his back.
The cold wine sprayed on Rong Cang's back, stimulating him so much that his whole body shivered.
So cold!
But as the wine flowed down his back, a blood-red map appeared on his back.
Xu Wuyan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the map.
He didn't move, and Rong Cang didn't dare to move either.
She just straightened her back and let him look at her.
After a long time, Xu Wuyan finally looked away and said, "You can put on your clothes now."
After saying that, he turned and walked back to the table.
Then he picked up the brush beside him, took a piece of white paper, and started painting in unison.
When he stopped writing, she picked up the picture she had drawn, blew on it, and then handed it to him, saying with a serious face:
“This is the picture on your back, you memorize it and it’s imprinted in your mind.
If this map is not found, you will also tattoo it on your child's back.
You memorize it first, and then burn this picture after you have memorized it."
Rong Cang took the map and pursed his lips:
"May I ask, what's hidden in this map?"
His voice was a little hoarse when he said this.
Because of this, his entire family died.
"The roots of the Xu and Rong families." Xu Wuyan said seriously, "and the treasures left by the ancestors of the Xu and Rong families to their descendants.
Our ancestors left a will that neither the grandfather nor the grandson of the two families should attempt to seize the treasure unless it was absolutely necessary."
Rong Cang nodded, then lowered his head and looked at the map carefully.
Xu Wuyan glanced at him and turned to look at the drawings on the desk.
Rong Cang is not a stupid person.
It's just a map, it won't take him too much time.
The blueprint in his hand was a preliminary drawing made by the master craftsman Zhang Deping he invited based on Lin Mo's oral description.
I have to say, this drawing is really exquisite.
And the design and layout are very good.
The shops are all on the first floor and face the street. Xu Wuyan has nothing to complain about this.
As for the house they were going to live in.
He pondered for a moment, then picked up his pen and began to make revisions.
He put down his pen only after the drawing was covered with traces of revisions.
He looked up and saw Rong Cang staring at him. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you make a note of it?"
Rong Cang nodded.
Xu Wuyan reached out and took the picture from his hand, then took out a tinderbox and lit the picture.
Soon there was a smell of burning paper in the tent.
"Remember, don't tell others the secrets on your back easily."
Seeing him nod and look at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Xu Wuyan raised an eyebrow, "Are you curious about me? Or do you doubt my identity?"
Then, without waiting for him to speak, Xu Wuyan took off his clothes, revealing his burly and strong back covered with various scars.
As the smell of alcohol dissipated in the tent.
There was also a picture on Xu Wuyan's back.
But when Rong Cang saw this picture, his eyes widened in horror and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Xu Wuyan glanced at Rong Cang, then slowly put on his clothes.
After getting dressed, he turned and looked at Rong Cang:
“Scared?
Remember, I forgot the map after I read it. Don't tell anyone, or many people will die!"
