Most of the people from those days are gone, and only the old man still tells the legendary story to the younger generations again and again.

"This Yue City... But old man, I brought down a group of bandit brothers about four or fifty years ago... At that time, this Yue City was in a mess, with people from all religions and five classes there, and troubles were everywhere. ...A group of bandit brothers and I didn't even have iron weapons back then, so we used some sticks and axes to beat down Yuecheng and suppress the unyielding chaos one by one... Only then did Yuecheng have the peace it has now... …”

As soon as the emperor who was far away in the capital heard the news that Yuecheng was suppressed, he immediately sent an imperial envoy to inquire. He wanted to use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to regain the old man under the capital, but he ended in failure.As time went by, the private soldiers in Yue City became stronger and stronger, and the huge city developed into the prosperous place it is today. The weak and incompetent emperor above was increasingly unable to regain Yue City, so he could only give up the original plan and reach an agreement with Yue City. In the current cooperative relationship, in order to please the lord of Yuecheng, the emperor's aides in the capital even proposed to escort the exiled prisoners to Yuecheng to work as cheap labor, thus maintaining the superficial peace.

Mu Yunchao sat obediently beside the old man, listening to him nostalgicly ramble on about the stories of those years. The two of them seemed like real grandparents, talking harmoniously and warmly. if.

When the old man finished talking about the past events of that year, he couldn't help but lower his head. A few tears overflowed from his sharp and calm eyes. He could only let the tears fall slowly, and the old man quietly said nothing. He wiped away his tears in memory of his companions who conquered this city with him.

Yue City is now a prosperous scene, but the people from back then are no longer there, and nothing can be seen. He can only wait a hundred years later, and then go underground to tell the story one by one to the people back then, telling this story that has been said countless times. story.

Before the decline of the Mu family, Mu Yunchao liked to listen to the storytellers on the streets of the capital telling the legendary stories of emperors and generals. Now that the old man told his own story, it became more real, and Mu Yunchao Chao was almost entranced by what he heard, and it took him a while to calm down.

Mu Yunchao glanced sideways at the old man who was weeping secretly. A sincere smile appeared on his lips, and he couldn't help but praise: "Old man... you are really amazing. You can achieve what you are now in Yuecheng. That's it." It was all founded by you.”

The young man's sincere smile was contagious, which eased the old man's originally sentimental mood. He smiled kindly, sighed with emotion, shook his head, and retorted:

"No, it's not just me...it's the result of the joint efforts of everyone in Yuecheng. I just made a start for everyone."

The old man took out a piece of handkerchief and wiped away the remaining tears on his face. He stood up on the ground with relief, exhaled a long breath, and said openly: "Come on! Get up and do it." Live, old man, I will clear up all this field before dark, so that you juniors can see that I still have a long time before I lie in the coffin!"

Regarding matters such as the passage of time or life and death, this old man takes it quite naturally and doesn't care much about when he will die. He just occasionally feels a little dissatisfied with his old age and wishes that all the younger generations should do more work. Son, to prove that his body is very strong.

Especially when he was in the city lord's mansion, his city lord's son sent people to pay attention to his every move every day, for fear that his old man would be injured or tired somewhere, and he would be regarded as an old man with limited mobility. The heavy filial piety made this old man's life very uncomfortable.This is also the reason why he likes to run to small and secluded places like the Exile Village when he has nothing to do. It is much more comfortable than being in the City Lord's Mansion, and there is no need for a large group of servants and maids to surround him, for fear that he will bump into an old man. .

"Work, work!" The old man stood up, stood casually on the side of the farmland, stretched out his two arms comfortably, then directly raised the hoe leaning on the side, and happily Concentrating on the farmland, he looked completely different from the sentimental look just now.

Therefore, the Mu family The business of the grocery store is getting more and more prosperous, making Tong Guixiang's store become more and more deserted. For a few days, there is not even a customer. As a result, Tong Guixiang is too lazy to open the door and directly closes the door of the grocery store.

Angrily returning to her store all the way, Tong Guixiang looked at her deserted store with almost no one, and her face became more and more resentful.

Tong Guixiang closed the door in frustration, her gloomy face was full of resentment, her slender eyes showed a bit of meanness, and there was a bit of sinisterness in her eyes. She was already thinking about how to destroy Mu's groceries. store business.

She thought about it for several days, but could not think of a good idea for the time being. She could only sit on the stool sullenly, sadly and resentfully, thinking with her eyes wandering, already looking like she was in a state of wandering mind.

While she was angry, thinking about ways to deal with Mu's grocery store, she didn't even notice that there was a muffled sound coming from the small courtyard next to her, and then a dull sound of footsteps came from behind her. Before she could wait, When Tong Guixiang reacted, a rough big hand had already been placed on her arm affectionately. (End of chapter)
