"Patriarch, the Shen and Gan families sent a letter saying that if we don't abide by the rules set by the four major families, then they will not abide by them either."
"?"
Shi Chenghong's expression was slightly sluggish.
After Yong'an City was initially settled, only the four major families were left. In order to ensure this stability, the four major families also established rules among themselves.
For example, the four major families cannot openly attack other families, otherwise they will be boycotted by the other three major families. In addition, if there is something that the four major families need, they must compete fairly, and there are many other rules.
Although there is constant secret fighting between families, they have never crossed this line. This is why the four major families can still live in peace.
Recently, the family has been focusing on the Chen family's affairs and has not had any conflicts with the two families, so what does this mean?
"Go check and find out what happened recently."
As the order was issued, the clan quickly received the news.
After hearing the whole story, Shi Chenghong's face became very gloomy.
The reason why his Shi family didn't go was because the family had already taken action against the Chen family, and the Chen family also most likely knew that it was the family that took action. If he went again this time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Besides, the little blood rice sold by the Chen family is not of much help to the family.
This is the reason why the family did not go, but the Xie family did not go either. There must be a secret deal involved.
It seems that the Xie family wanted to keep the blood rice for themselves, which led to misunderstandings among the other two families.
Shi Chenghong, who knew the reason, immediately asked his clansmen to pass on a message to inform them of the true situation.
But the elder of the Shi family suddenly said:
"Clan leader, I think this matter can be discussed. According to the time, Xie Yanmo has already come out of seclusion, but the family has not received any corresponding news, and the Xie family has been silent recently."
After hearing this, Shi Chenghong thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded solemnly.
The family has been busy with the Chen family's affairs recently, and if it weren't for the reminder from the family members, he would have almost forgotten about this matter.
You must know that the biggest enemy of his Shi family is not the small Chen family, but the Xie family, which is much stronger than the Shi family.
It is really hard to feel at ease without finding out the situation of the Xie family.
Coincidentally, this is an opportunity to join forces with the other two major families to test the Xie family.
Thinking of this, Shi Chenghong hurriedly called back his clansmen and changed his story.
…
"Qing Meng, what is this called?"
In the mass grave mountain, Chen Qinghe pointed at a purple plant on the ground and asked puzzledly.
Although he usually studies seriously, that's all pretend. In this regard, Chen Qingmeng is more talented than him.
Hearing Chen Qinghe's question, Chen Qingmeng also leaned over and looked carefully at the plants in front of him.
The plant is not tall, only as long as an arm, and its entire body is purple. The roots that grow on it are also curved and formed a circle.
After watching for a while, Chen Qingmeng said seriously:
"I read in a book that this is called Placenta. Look at these roots. Don't they look like wheels?"
"It does look alike. OK, I'll write it down!"
"But there's actually a mountain of placenta here. I don't know if it's worth the money."
On the treetop, Chen Qingyu, who had been indifferent, heard the conversation between the two and then opened a book in his hand and found the explanation of placenta in it.
After reading the explanation, Chen Qingyu cast a complicated look at the two of them.
Forget it. There are not many members in the tribe now, and every young member is a treasure of the tribe. However, he should go and see the situation of other members of the tribe first.
While Chen Qinghe and the other man were still carefully observing the plants underground, Chen Qingyu had already disappeared silently among the treetops.
Although the family wants to give their members experience, in order to ensure their safety, they still need to keep an eye on them in secret.
Now that Chen Tianyu and Chen Tianjing are fully devoted to cultivation, he is the only one who has the strength and time.
"Come on, Qing Meng, let's go to another place!"
After finishing the recording, Chen Qinghe stood up quickly and spoke while continuing to move forward.
But after he finished speaking, there was no response from behind him.
This made Chen Qinghe a little confused, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look.
But when he looked around, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and then he shouted:
"Qing Meng, where have you been?"
"Qing Meng, come out quickly, don't scare me!"
The echo echoed all around, but no sound was heard at all, which made Chen Qinghe look a little ugly, and he hurriedly looked around.
…
In the mass grave mountain, a man in plain clothes slowly walked towards Chen’s market.
The market is quite lively. After the road to the mass grave mountain was opened, many outsiders came here. What attracted them here was not other things, but the grains planted in the fields on the mass grave mountain.
This is because these grains are affected by the natural blood spring. Although they do not have the same uses as blood rice, the taste of the grains has become better, and eating more can even increase your strength.
And when they came over, they found that in addition to grains, there were many other valuable things in the mass grave. Because of this, the market became crowded, and many villages had more strangers living in this place.
The man in plain clothes walked around in the market, not buying anything, just strolling around.
The villagers who sell sundries here seem to be accustomed to this and don't pay too much attention to it. Now they know the purpose of jade coins and everything they sell is traded with jade coins.
Even if it was just a feather, it would cost two jade coins to take it away.
Don’t ask why, the reason is that someone has bought this feather for a jade coin!
How could a feather that could be purchased for just one jade coin be an ordinary thing?
Although the price was a bit high, outsiders who learned about it found it quite curious and came to the market specifically to take a look at this special feather worth two jade coins.
The man in plain clothes also stopped at the stall selling feathers for a moment, then took out two jade coins and bought a three-color feather.
"Um?"
"Hiss, here comes another sucker!"
"This feather is so popular? Why can't I sell mine?"
"Xiang Lao San, you are lucky again!"
There were whispers and teasing voices coming from the side from many familiar villagers.
The stall owner, known as Xiang Lao San, just grinned, his face full of simplicity.
After the man in plain clothes bought the feathers, he quickly disappeared.
But just as the market was over and Xiang Laosan was pushing his cart to return to the village, the figure of the man in plain clothes appeared again and stopped Xiang Laosan's cart.
Seeing that the person who came was a sucker who bought his feathers, he smiled sincerely at the third brother and asked hurriedly:
"Do you still want to buy feathers? I have plenty!"
"I'll buy you a feather in exchange for you answering a few questions."
Xiang Lao San was stunned after hearing this, but looking at the jade coin in the plain-clothed man's hand, he nodded repeatedly:
"Guest, feel free to ask me anything I know!"
