dawn of dynasty

Chapter 242 A miserable life, the question of who is first and who is second
Shen Guanye (whether it was his predecessor or himself) had cared a lot about Huang Xianggong before because he knew that Huang Xianggong had a miserable life experience.

"According to Huang Datou, his mother got him a wife some time ago."

The villager continued, and then couldn't help but look at Shen Guanye again.

In fact, the main reason why Huang Xianggong was able to find his wife was Shen Guanye.

Because of Shen Guanye's small favor for Huang Xianggong, Qingxi Medical Center valued Xianggong Huang more, and his salary and so on were improved a lot, so that he could save money to marry a wife.

Otherwise, from Huang Xianggong's family, which girl would jump into this pit of fire?
The so-called "one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" is nothing more than that.

Mr. Huang is not a family member or friend of Shen Guanye. He only knows Shen Guanye and has been taken care of by Shen Guanye. They all benefit from it.

This shows Shen Guanye's momentum now.

Our Hongdong County is about to have a high-ranking official again!

This Hongdong County villager couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.

Having a big official in your hometown is a great thing for the entire hometown. Everyone can take advantage of it, right?
Shen Guanye waited for the other party's next words.

"But haven't there been more exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes during this time? The Huang family's life was already difficult, but the relationship with you, Director Shen, has gotten better. Now that these exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been imposed, life has become difficult again."

"Perhaps Huang Datou's mother was afraid of dragging him down, so she quietly got up in the middle of the night and sank into the pond. What a sin! She had suffered all her life, and in the end she had to commit suicide for the sake of her son."

"You also know about Huang Datou's mother's health. She has been bedridden all year round. She usually has to work for a while to boil water and cook a meal and rest for a long time. Walking several miles to sink into the pond in the middle of the night is really difficult for her."

"It is said that Huang Datou crawled over the last few hundred meters bit by bit."

Shen Guanye's heart suddenly tightened, and for a moment he didn't know what it felt like.

"This happened a week ago. Huang Datou buried his mother. When I came back, I felt uncomfortable looking at people. But at that time, I thought it was normal for people to be in a trance after suffering such a big blow, so there wasn't much think."

"If I had known better, I would have paid more attention, oops!"

As he spoke, the villager couldn't help but clap his thigh regretfully.

At this moment, Shen Guanye didn't even know what expression he should make, but he kept a deep voice and patted his son on the shoulder.

"Come on, go up and have a look."

The villagers took the initiative to make way for Shen Guanye and the others, so Shen Guanye quickly walked to the river.

Huang Xianggong has been fished ashore. Like his mother, he must have been thrown into the river in the middle of the night. After being soaked in the water for half the night and half the day, he looked like hair that had been soaked in hair, a little changed. Take shape.

Shen Guanye looked at Huang Xianggong's stiff, wet body and his iconic big head. Somehow, he remembered in his mind that every day at dawn, Huang Xianggong was emptying the urinal and cleaning by the river. The urinal scene.

As an apprentice at Qingxi Medical Center, he has a lot to do. Filling and cleaning urinals for other people in Qingxi Medical Center is also something he must do every day.

From emptying the urinal at four or five in the morning to closing the hospital at eleven or twelve in the evening, Mr. Huang rarely had any free time except for meals.

Day after day, year after year, he worked like this from morning to night, working hard without complaining, and enjoying it. He believed that if he worked hard every day, his life would get better one day.

"Director Shen, you are here."

The shopkeeper of Qingxi Medical Center saw Shen Guanye coming forward hurriedly. He seemed to be afraid that Shen Guanye would misunderstand, so he said hurriedly:
"Huang Xianggong's mother died a few days ago. He was in a daze after he came back. I was a little worried and gave him a holiday. Who would have thought that he would be so obsessed with it that he would just leave with his mother?"

"It's my fault too, if I had known I should have been stared at!"

The shopkeeper looked very remorseful, but couldn't help but secretly look at Shen Guanye's expression, fearing that he would be angry.

Shen Guanye's heart felt so empty that it was hard to describe for a moment.

For him, Huang Xianggong's death was certainly not as devastating as the death of a close relative.

Although he had a good impression of Huang Xianggong and the two had a lot of interactions, in the final analysis it was just a chance encounter.

But there is still sadness, and besides the sadness, a thought becomes stronger and stronger in my mind: Why can't people like Huang Xianggong or his mother, who work so hard to live, have a way out? ? ?

"Does Xianggong Huang still have anyone in his family? Distant relatives or something like that?"

Shen Guanye only heard himself say this.

"No, his parents are refugees from other places and are foreigners. Otherwise, with the help of the clan, Huang Xianggong's mother wouldn't have been so difficult back then."

"I'd like you to take care of Xianggong Huang's funeral. Find a place with better feng shui and help bury his mother and brother together. I'll pay for it."

"No way, no way. Mr. Huang is an apprentice at our Qingxi Medical Center. How can Director Shen pay for his funeral?"

The shopkeeper in front of him nodded hurriedly, but behind him he waved his hands.

Shen Guanye glanced at him and insisted:
"I'll be the one to pay for it. Please do your best to handle the funeral."

Mr. Huang has no relatives. Logically speaking, his funeral must be paid for by the Qingxi Medical Clinic. But if the Qingxi Medical Clinic pays, they can give Mr. Huang a thin coffin and take it to a mass grave outside the city. That would be good.

Since it was he who proposed that Qingxi Medical Center organize a decent funeral for Huang Xianggong and dig out Huang Xianggong's mother and eldest brother to bury them together, then this is an extra price and he should pay for it.

He does not have the habit of being generous to others in his own name.

"Hey, don't worry."

Seeing Shen Guanye's firm tone, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say any more.

"Does Xianggong Huang have any last wishes?"

"what?"

"Or has he ever said anything about his wishes?"

"If you have a wish, I have it. I just want to learn the skills of identifying medicine, grabbing medicine, cutting medicine and kneading pills. In the future, when I make money, I can bring his mother to the city and then marry a daughter-in-law. Director Shen, are you want……"

"Nothing? By the way, what's Mr. Huang's name?"

"My name is Huang Niansheng."

Huang Niansheng.

Shen Guanye silently repeated the name in his heart, and suddenly felt a burst of sadness and sadness: Until today, he didn't know what Huang Xianggong was called.

Because of Huang Xianggong's death, Shen Guanye was not in high spirits on the way back.

When I got home, my eldest sister was there, but my mother was in the countryside with my second sister to raise the baby.

Although he was not in high spirits, Shen Guanye took a short rest and had something to eat before he immediately left for Shenjiawu.

Because now the great god Shen Guanye is protecting him, the storm in the Bilong Clan cannot affect Shenjiawu for the time being. Shenjiawu still looks the same as before, with endless traffic, chickens and dogs smelling each other, and the days are getting better and better. It has always been much better, and it feels a bit like a paradise.

There are just more people begging. In the past, beggars would come door to door only during the New Year and holidays. Now, beggars also come to the door during the holidays, which shows that life outside is not easy.

Other than that, nothing has changed in Shenjiawu.

The tribesmen are living well, and even bucking the trend in these troubled times, they are thriving.Logically speaking, Shen Guanye should feel relieved and accomplished, but on the contrary, his mood was even worse.

Of course he didn't dislike the good life of his people.

However, putting aside his identity as a member of the Shen clan, the difference between the internal and external scenes made Shen Guanye experience the cruel side of the world.

When the wave of disillusionment comes, the people at the bottom have the worst ability to resist risks, and then there are the ordinary people. These people fall one after another, like weeds in the wasteland that no one cares about.

But the rich and powerful can still enjoy peace and harmony, and create "paradise paradises" amidst the chaos of war, natural and man-made disasters, and even make huge war fortunes.

Just protecting the Shen family was not what he wanted.

But now his strength is too weak. His little strength is of little use in troubled times. It is simply wishful thinking to protect thousands of people.

As strong as the National Salvation Association, it can only survive in the cracks for so many years!
They are commanded by powerful men at the national level!

He must be stronger!
However, although Shen Guanye was in a bad mood, he still cheered up in front of his parents, eldest sister, and second sister, and explained Shen Guanyu's situation.

Night, Hongdong County, Shen family.

The lights in Shen Guanye's study did not dim for a long time.

He was thinking about where to get the second level 5 lair.

In fact, he has always had a ready-made way in front of him, which is to buy from the National Salvation Association.

The National Salvation Association also has Lord Apocalypse, and they have mastered up to eight levels of lairs, and there are more than one.

This is only on the surface. Who knows if there is a higher-level lair hidden secretly?After all, no one puts all their cards on the table, right?
With the strength and number of members of the Salvation Council, it is not surprising to find lairs of level 9, level 10 or even higher levels.

There must be a level 5 lair in the Salvation Council. If he wants to buy it, Lord Tianqi of the Salvation Council can transfer the lair to him, just like Hong Canghai gave the lair of the carp spirit, the lair of the Beiwei warrior, the lair of the rat demon and the lair of the ghost. The nest gifted him that.

However, Shen Guanye didn't want it to be difficult for Su Yuan.

No matter how good or close his relationship with the National Salvation Association is, they are still two families.

Besides, even if they are a family, can he say this?
Every Lord of Apocalypse attaches great importance to the lair under his command. It would be fine if it was a low-level lair, but a fifth-level lair?
Even for the two Apocalypse Lords of the National Salvation Association who have mastered the eighth-level lair, it is an important asset, and it is difficult for them to be willing to cede it for trade.

Anyway, if it were Shen Guanye who was the other party, he would definitely be reluctant.

This is one of the reasons.

Another reason is: Who do you listen to?

He has such a good relationship with the National Salvation Association, but he has never thought of joining the National Salvation Association. The most critical obstacle is this.

When the two merge, who is more important and who is less important?

This is a crucial issue. If it is not resolved, even if they merge today, problems will definitely break out in the future, and when the problems break out, it may cause serious damage to both parties.

Although the positions and opinions of the National Salvation Association and his had a large overlap, they still had many differences after all. He did not agree with some of the National National Salvation Association's ideas and propositions.

And this is only at this stage. In the future, when the situation changes and major events happen one after another, there may be more differences. Who will we listen to?

If he joins the National Salvation Association now, then he must listen to the National Salvation Association?

I have never heard of a weak branch being able to command the trunk.

Therefore, although he had been friends with the National Salvation Association for a long time, he never mentioned joining the National Salvation Association.

The National Salvation Association may have guessed what he was thinking, or maybe they didn't.

In short, there was a very tacit understanding that this issue was not raised.

Otherwise, he would have been promoted to level 6 long ago, and could even go all the way to level 9 - as long as the merit and money are enough, there is no need to worry about level 6, level 7, and level 8 lairs.

But now, Shen Guanye's thoughts were slightly wavered.

If you just trade a level 5 lair, it should still be possible, right?

Shen Guanye thought to himself.

A level 5 nest is not enough for him to join the National Salvation Association, but it will just make it a little difficult for Su Yuan.

Thinking of this, Shen Guanye hesitated again.

"Young Master, it's late at night. I brought you a bowl of chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot."

Wu Ma knocked on the door and walked in.

The aroma of chicken soup wafted into his nose, and Shen Guanye really felt a little hungry.

Wu Ma’s chicken soup is a specialty. The chicken soup she makes has her own exclusive secret recipe, which contains various spices and tonics.

Strictly controlling the heat and the time of adding spices and supplements, the chicken soup is fat but not greasy, with full color, flavor and flavor. The whole Shen family loves to eat it.

Drinking chicken soup and recalling the familiar taste from childhood to now, Shen Guanye felt better.

"Young Master, let me sit with you for a while."

After the chicken soup was brought, Mother Wu did not leave, but took out the needle and thread and said.

Shen Guanye was a little surprised, but recalling that when their siblings were doing homework when they were young, Wu's mother also liked to sit aside and do needlework.

Zhi put it down after a while, looked at the siblings, and then laughed.

So after being surprised, Shen Guanye quickly said: "Of course."

Wu Ma moved a stool and sat down, knitting a sweater by the light.

Seeing this warm scene, Shen Guanye couldn't help but recall the scene in Shen Guanye's mind of grandma, Wu Ma, and Zhao Ma, doing needlework and chatting under the sweet-scented osmanthus. From time to time, she would raise her head to glance at their siblings. , He Tingzhang was also there at that time.

In a blink of an eye, this happened almost ten years ago.

Shen Guanye smiled and looked back.

Wu Ma went back to her hometown in the countryside a few days ago and just came back today, so she didn't stay in Shenjiawu.

She has a son in the country who is married and has a son and a daughter. The daughter is three or four years old and the son is over one year old. Life is considered easy.

It seems that her fate is somewhat similar to that of Huang Xianggong's mother. She also lost her husband at an early age and worked hard to raise her son.

However, compared to Huang Xianggong's mother, Wu's mother was much luckier. When she was young, she was spotted by his grandmother and hired into the Shen family.

Because of the relationship with the Shen family, his son was brought up smoothly.
