Jiangjia Village is located in Taihu County, Hengyang Commandery, Yunhua State. It is famous for being adjacent to the 3,000-li Taihu Lake.
Jiangjia Village is located in the north of Taihu County, an ordinary rice-growing mountain village, a quiet and remote village.
The village is located on fertile land, surrounded by lush farmland and dense forests. The village has simple but sturdy houses, mostly built of earth and wood.
At this time, on a small road outside the village, a young man in green clothes with a white mink on his shoulder was slowly walking towards the village.
This is Jiang Yun returning to Jiangjia Village. This small dirt slope near Jiangjia Village is planted with bamboo. It's where Jiang Yun and his friends often played.
Jiang Yun controlled the Iron Leaf Boat and landed directly in the bamboo forest. Then he slowly walked towards the village.
Jiangjia Village has a main street, and Jiang Yun's home is at the end of this street. Jiang Yun's father is also the patriarch of Jiangjia Village.
When Jiang Yun stepped onto the main road in the village, it happened to be a day when the villagers were busy in the fields. Groups of women in simple clothes were holding wooden basins and washing clothes in the Qingshui River beside the village.
At this time, a villager wearing short clothes and carrying a hoe was about to go to the rice field to weed. Seeing Jiang Yun walking alone, he immediately asked curiously:
"Hey! Who is this young man looking for in Jiangjia Village?"
Jiang Yun took one look and a name popped up in his memory. He immediately said, "Uncle Qian, I haven't seen you for a few years. Don't you recognize me? I'm Jiang Yun."
Jiang Yun had indeed changed a lot. Originally a 15-year-old village boy, he had been away for four years, and upon his return, he had become a distinguished figure. Cultivating immortals could indeed significantly improve one's temperament.
"Jiang Yun? From Jiang Ze's family?"
When Jiang Qian heard this, he dropped his hoe and asked in confusion:
"Yeah, Uncle Qian, I won't say anymore. I'm going home to see my father first."
Jiang Yun said this with a smile and prepared to continue walking home.
But Jiang Qian just stood there in a daze.
"Ah! Jiang Ze's family is back! Jiang Ze's family is back!"
When Jiang Qian saw Jiang Yun walking straight towards his home, he suddenly shouted and ran towards the center of the village.
At the heart of Jiangjia Village lies the Jiang family ancestral hall, where villagers worship their ancestors. At the entrance stands a stone tablet inscribed with the village's history and the teachings of their ancestors. Villagers often gather in the hall to pray for peace and a good harvest.
At that moment, the ancestral hall was occupied by the usually lazy villagers, basking in the sun and gossiping about their daily lives. Suddenly, upon seeing Jiang Qian running towards them, everyone started shouting. Soon, the entire Jiangjia Village community was running towards Jiang Yun's home.
At this time, Jiang Yun also came to the place that left the deepest impression on the original owner, the home where the original owner had lived for 15 years.
"Father, my unfilial son is back."
Jiang Yun knelt in front of the red wooden door of the Jiang family mansion according to the original owner's memory.
"This is my way of thanking you for raising me."
Jiang Yun thought silently in his heart that if he inherited the body of the original owner, he would be able to solve the original owner's problems.
At this time, many villagers came to the Jiang family's house one by one, looking at Jiang Yun who was kneeling on the ground in front of them with complicated expressions.
"Creaky!" The wooden door opened. Jiang Yun looked up and immediately frowned, then slowly stood up.
"Why you?"
When Jiang Yun saw the other person coming out, he was suddenly shocked.
"Damn it! Something unexpected happened again."
This man was a distant cousin of his, Jiang Chen. He was the son of Jiang Minghui, another branch of the Jiang family. In Jiangjia Village, the Jiang family ancestor had two sons, and thus two branches were passed down.
His father belonged to the first branch of the family, and Jiang Chen was the son of the second branch. Jiang Yun remembered that his entire family lived in Taihu County and rarely returned to the village.
"Who are you to pretend to be the son of the former Jiang family patriarch? Everyone in Taihu County knows that the patriarch's son has passed away long ago."
Jiang Chen didn't wait for Jiang Yun to speak. He spoke harshly to Jiang Yun, then said sinisterly to Jiang Qian behind Jiang Yun:
"You just tell everyone you meet that they are my cousin Jiang Yun, but my cousin is dead and buried next to the Jiang family's ancestral tomb. This was decided by the county magistrate himself. Are you trying to go against the county magistrate's decision? Are you trying to rebel?"
"Uh, Jiang... this little brother, you'd better leave early,"
Jiang Qian was so scared that he stammered as he finished speaking to Jiang Yun. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He cried bitterly and said:
"I was wrong. I didn't disobey the magistrate. I shouldn't have spoken nonsense just because he looked like me. I was out of my mind."
"Haha, I'm dead!"
Jiang Yun laughed in anger. He had originally thought that this obsession would be the easiest to resolve, but he hadn't expected this result. The original owner's obsession was also churning in his mind.
Jiang Yun was instantly enraged. He grabbed Jiang Chen, who was standing outside the door looking down at him, and lifted him into the air.
"I don't want to play you any tricks. Tell me where my parents are!"
"Ah! Ah! Spare my life! Uncle Jiang Ze is buried next to the ancestral grave in the back mountain!"
Jiang Chen was completely stunned. He hadn't expected this to happen. He was so frightened that urine dripped down his trouser legs.
"How did my parents die!"
"They died of illness! It wasn't my fault. Uncle Jiang Ze and Aunt Jiang Ze died of illness! Woohoo! Spare me, it was my father who made me live here, saying that I would be the clan leader in the future and that he wanted me to stay here! It's none of my business!"
Jiang Yun saw Jiang Chen struggling in mid-air, utterly terrified and incoherent, and he kept shouting for mercy.
At this moment, all the villagers behind him were stunned. Jiang Qian also stared at Jiang Chen in mid-air with his mouth open.
