"Master, the people living here should be the servants of the Shentu family. Look, there are more than a dozen families living in one courtyard!"
"Master, the kitchen should be on the west side. Would you like to go and have something to eat?"
Of course Xia Chujian would not run to the kitchen to steal food now.
She just wanted to leave here quickly and return to the storage room where A Ce and Xiao Mo lived.
When she came back, the whole village was quiet and everyone was still asleep.
Xia Chujian quietly returned to the guest room which also served as a storage room.
After putting Shao Siming's black and silver mecha into the necklace of the red spider lily, she fell asleep.
After a tiring whole day, she wanted to have a good rest.
She was not afraid of any danger here. With the level of technology here, she would have Shao Siming's black and silver armor covering her entire body again in less than a second.
…
The next day before dawn, the old doorman of the Shentu family was the first to get up as usual.
After washing up, he put on a coat and went out to open the door.
The gate of the city wall he was responsible for was the main gate.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
This old doorman has been running the Shentu family for fifty years and is highly praised by the head of the family.
Every day when he opened the two heavy doors, he stood very straight.
Today is no exception.
He directed two of his subordinates to open the heavy door, and then walked out first.
Looking at the vast grassland outside the city wall and then at the tall city wall behind me, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.
Although this manor surrounded by a huge wall did not belong to him and he was just a gatekeeper, he could not help but regard the wall as his own property.
So when he turned around and squinted his eyes to admire the tall city wall again, his face suddenly froze.
What did he see?!
Eight people were hung above the main gate of the city wall!
Looking at their clothes and appearance, they are not ordinary people at all!
The old gatekeeper's heart skipped a beat and he hurried to the bottom of the city gate and looked up to take a closer look.
"Ah?! Isn't this Master Shentu?!"
"There are also the young masters of the Helian family and the Sima family!"
Looking at the expressions of the eight people, his heart couldn't help but sink. His legs were shaking with fear. He staggered and fell to the ground, unable to stand steadily!
The old doorman was furious. He raised his hands from the ground and shouted, "Quick! Call the master of the house!"
Half an hour later, the head of the Shentu family finally arrived.
At this time, the sun had already risen from the horizon.
The early morning sunlight shines right on the main gate of Shentu’s city wall.
The eight bodies were also clearly visible.
The head of the Shentu family suddenly widened his eyes.
"What's going on?!"
"Why are these people hanging at the main gate of my Shentu family's city wall?!"
“Who are they?!”
The head of the Shentu family did not recognize any of the people hanging above the main gate of the city wall.
The old doorman hunched his back and jogged behind the head of the Shentu family.
He said cautiously, "Master, these eight people are all from our Shentu, Sima, and Helian families."
"The one in the middle is our Shentu family's son..."
The head of the Shentu family's face darkened: "How come I don't know the young master of our Shentu family?!"
The old doorman twitched his lips and lowered his voice a bit. He said, "The master is very busy, and the Shentu family is a large family. It is understandable that the master does not know this young man from a distant branch."
The head of the Shentu family snorted and said, "I thought so! If he is really my son, Shentu Xiong, how could I not recognize him?!"
After hearing this, the old doorman couldn't help but complain in his heart, even if he was your master's biological son, you might not be able to recognize him at first glance.
Because Patriarch Shentu has too many sons...
These descendants of a distant branch may never see the head of the Shentu family in their entire lives, let alone know him.
However, the old gatekeeper also knew that even if the person being hung on the main gate of the city wall was not a direct descendant of the Shentu family, as long as he was hung there, it would be a shame for the Shentu family!
It was obvious that the head of the Shentu family had also come to his senses.
Because he was not his biological son, nor even a descendant of the direct line and main branch of the Shentu family. He was just a descendant of a distant branch, bearing the surname Shentu.
He was not sad, but felt ashamed and angry at being humiliated.
He put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly, "Even the cats and dogs of our Shentu family will not tolerate being humiliated like this!"
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
"Who did this?! I want his whole family to pay with their lives!"
The old doorman then said, "Master, do you want to notify the masters of the Sima and Helian families?"
The head of the Shentu family asked, "Are these people from the Sima and Helian families direct descendants or branches?"
The old doorman said: "They are not direct descendants..."
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
Of course, the son of a distant branch of the Shentu family can only make friends with the sons of distant branches of the Sima and Helian families.
