After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

Zhuang Ran opened his eyes and saw several uniformed policemen guarding him, including Yan Shi and Song Tong. He understood that he had fallen into Lin Xi's hands again.

"I want to see Lin Xi."

"You can just tell us if you have anything to say."

"I will only tell Lin Xi."

"Zhuang Ran, please stop playing tricks. This is not the overseas island you used to be."

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If I don't see Lin Xi, I won't say anything and you won't get anything."

Zhuang Ran closed his eyes and Yan Shi went out to make a call.

After a while, Lin Xi walked into the ward.

"You all go out, I want to talk to Lin Xi alone." Zhuang Ran opened his eyes.

"Impossible, we will not ignore Lin Xi's safety." Yan Shi flatly refused.

"You all go out, I also want to talk to him alone." Lin Xi spoke.

"No, he is just an old fox." Yan Shi was worried.

"Is there anything more dangerous than being in the vice principal's office? Don't waste any more time." Lin Xi showed displeasure.

"Then I have to ask my superiors for instructions." Yan Shi took out his mobile phone.

"No, I'll take the responsibility if something happens. Everyone, please go out. Lin Xi, please call me anytime if anything happens." Song Tong was the first to walk out of the ward.

After everyone walked out of the ward, Lin Xi sat on a chair next to the bed and asked Zhuang Ran: "Did you dream about Grandpa Zhuang, Grandma Xi and Brother Yan when you were asleep?"

Zhuang Ran stared at Lin Xi and did not answer immediately. After a while, he asked Lin Xi: "How did my brother leave? Did he leave a message for me?"

Although Lin Xi was sitting by the bed, she did not look at Zhuang Ran. She looked at a magnolia outside the window with a sad expression.

The magnolia is in bud, and its white buds are spotless, so white that they will not cause any evil thoughts.

"After Grandpa Zhuang made arrangements for Grandma Xi's funeral, he sat on the steps at the entrance of Lin's ancestral hall and left melancholy."

"How do you know that my brother passed away in depression? Maybe time is not forgiving and he passed away at the end of his life?"

"End of life? Which one of the Ningzhou bankers died of old age? A pair of twin brothers escaped by luck, but the younger brother ruined the elder brother's family and even caused the elder brother to die without a burial place."

"You mean that I harmed my brother? Caused my brother's family to be ruined? Without me, can my brother's family win so much glory? Can Xiao Yan become the most concerned person in the whole Shuishi Prefecture? Also, can those barefoot guys in Qingshui Bay suddenly become the most concerned person?" Get rich? Why don’t they give my brother a piece of geomantic land? Why don’t they all wear sackcloth and mourning for my brother’s funeral?”

"Glory? That is shame, infinite shame. Whether it is the Ningzhou banker or the Qingshuiwan banker, because of you, generations will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever. If you don't show up, Grandpa Zhuang will live a long life. , winning the respect from beginning to end in Clear Water Bay. If you don’t show up, Brother Yan will lead the folks to grow sweet potatoes with peace of mind. If you don’t show up, the red color in Clear Water Bay will be even brighter. Haven’t you had a little bit of it yet? A sense of awakening? A sense of repentance?"

"I'm trying to make money in every way, just because I want to come back and rectify the name of the Ningzhou banker. As long as you don't send me in, Qingshui Bay will definitely be the Qingshui Bay of infinite glory, and the Ningzhou banker will definitely be the banker of infinite glory."

"Shut up for me!"

"Don't think that you can yell at me if you catch me twice. Let me tell you, my power is still very strong. As long as I am willing, it will be a matter of minutes before I come back."

"Humph, you still want to make a comeback? Just daydream!"

"I won't argue with you, a little girl. I only ask that you hand over all the things my brother gave you to me. From now on, we will not be in conflict with each other."

"Are you still qualified to bargain with me?"

"Hahaha, I will always be qualified to trample you ants under my feet. Believe it or not, in a few hours, someone will come to take me to a more advanced hospital and a more advanced ward." "Zhuang Ran, you are asleep. Didn't you dream about your twin brother? Your white-haired wife? Your only nephew? You have to take out your banker's shameful card to wake up? "

"What kind of shame does our banker have? Didn't you just say clearly that both the Ningzhou banker and the Qingshuiwan banker are worthy of the word 'righteousness'?"

"Go and see for yourself!"

Lin Xi took out a wooden sign from his arms and threw it on the bedside. Zhuang Ran stood up, grabbed the wooden sign and looked at it carefully.

The wooden sign is black and shiny, and it is estimated to be many years old. The front is engraved with the word "Zhuang" in capital letters. Next to the word "Zhuang" there is a line of small characters: All descendants of the Zhuang family in Ningzhou saw this wooden sign and knelt down to read the words on the back.

Zhuang Ran hesitated for a while and sat upright, but did not kneel down. He turned over the wooden sign and read the text on the back.

The words on the back of the wooden sign are densely packed like countless ants crawling on it. If you don't look closely, you will just think they are small black pits.

[Zhuang, Tianshui County.The surname is Mi.After King Zhuang of Chu, he took his posthumous surname as his surname.Later there were Zhuang Zhou and Zhuang Qi, and in Qi there was Zhuang Jia. 】

After describing the origin of the Zhuang family, there are written records: At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a Zhuang family who was a partial general. He accompanied the general surnamed Lin on an expedition to quell the rebellion. When they arrived at Qingshui Bay at the foot of Daming Mountain, the partial general Zhuang colluded with the rebels and burned the military camp. General Lin was lucky enough to save the people. Rescue was able to escape.General Zhuang massacred all the villagers left in Qingshuiwan and took Ningzhou to fight against the imperial court.General Lin went out to exterminate the rebels again, killing only one general named Zhuang and exempting all descendants of Ningzhou Zhuang.

"Does this mean that the Lin family of Qingshui Bay is benevolent to our Ningzhou banker?"

"It doesn't matter whether you are kind or not. What is important is that the Ningzhou bankers have always adhered to the word 'righteousness' and put morality first. From generation to generation, there has never been anyone who commits crimes or is ungrateful. There is no such thing as a treacherous person.”

"Besides this wooden sign, what else did my brother give you?"

"And this." Lin Xi took out a small embroidered cloth bag from his arms and gave it to Zhuang Ran.

"He, he, he gave this to you?" Zhuang Ran looked gloomy as he held the small cloth bag in his hand.

"Grandpa Zhuang said that he had no shame in taking this to the underground to meet his parents and ancestors, because he couldn't even support his twin brother."

"Brother, is the word 'virtue' really that important? Why are you so hard on yourself?"

"Grandpa Zhuang is not at odds with himself, but you force him to be at odds with all your ancestors and all the folks in Clearwater Bay. Is the word 'virtue' important? You will know after you open the little cloth bag and take a look!"

"Is there anything else in the little cloth bag? Isn't it just the word '德' embroidered on it?"

"I remember when you and Grandpa Zhuang met on the Qingshui Bridge, you also took out such a small embroidered cloth bag. Is it still there?"

"Of course, I will not lose this little embroidered cloth bag no matter what, because it was given to us brothers by my grandfather."

"Then don't you know there's something in the little embroidered cloth bag?"

"I don't know. It doesn't have a bag opening. You can't touch anything with your hands."

"Put virtue first. Can you tear off the first part of the word 'virtue' and take a look?"

"Can it be torn off? Can it be torn off?"

Zhuang Ran's trembling hands took out an identical small embroidered cloth bag from his personal pocket, and put it together with the small embroidered cloth bag left by Zhuang Su. He stared at it for a long time, then stretched out his hand to tear off the top of his own small embroidered cloth bag. The first part of the word "virtue".

As soon as Zhuang Ran picked up a thread with his fingernail, the first stroke of the word "德" spread out, revealing a small hole like an eye.

Putting his finger into the small opening, Zhuang Ran touched a pinch of powder.

Lin Xi saw Zhuang Ran's fingers dipped in powder and brought them to her nostrils to inhale, and asked Zhuang Ran, "Do you know what this is? Have you done this action countless times in your life?"

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Ran raised his head, his eyes fixed on Lin Xi, and his fingers dipped in powder were still under the tip of his nose.
