Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

"This kind of immortality is completely putting the cart before the horse!" Zhang Yingyin shook his head.

"Old Zhou, according to you, the Zhang family really achieved immortality with the help of the meteorite jade?" As he spoke, Old Hu took out a pack of special-purpose cigarettes, spread them around, then lit them up and took a long puff.

It can be seen that Lao Hu was really shocked, so he lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

Although he himself could live for more than two hundred years, that was only possible with the help of traditional Chinese martial arts, longevity pills, bone-strengthening pills, and Zhu Jiuyin's flesh and blood essence.

Even so, it only extended his life by more than 210 years.

"That's not right. If he really achieved immortality, how come there are only my brother and the adjutant Zhang Foye from the Old Nine Gates left in such a large family?"

Lao Hu took a puff of his cigarette, and suddenly realized that something seemed wrong, so he continued to ask.

"I think something else must have been discovered in the middle."

"Just look at the young man and you'll know that the Zhang family has special bloodlines, and every one of them is a master. What on earth could have caused the Zhang family to be ruined like this?"

"Even if we encounter military forces, can we not escape if we can't defeat them?"

"Is it a family internal conflict???"

Shirley Yang's brain was working frantically, making guesses based on the few clues she had.

This time it was Zhou Xun's turn to be surprised.

Shirley Yang's IQ is really high. Every time she analyzes and guesses, she can often find the truth of the matter.

But that is history, and there are traces to follow. Not many people know about what happened to the Zhang family during the military and war-torn period.

This is why Zhou Xun was surprised.

"That's right. During the military war, there was internal strife in the family and many people died. It was also during that time that the population of the Zhang family dropped sharply and entered a period of decline, which has lasted until now..."

Zhou Xun told the story of the Zhang family’s civil war in detail.

"So that's how it is. What a pity for the Zhang family. If it had survived until now, it would definitely be one of the most mysterious families, a great hidden family that has been in existence for a thousand years!"

Yingzi supported her head with both hands and said with regret on her face.

"Of course, this is the main reason. The longevity of the Zhang family is actually relative to ordinary people, but it has not yet reached the point of immortality..."

"Although life span has increased a lot, it can only last for a few hundred years at most."

That's all? That's right, Zhou Xun said with a hint of disdain.

In Zhou Xun's eyes, all of these are his younger brothers.

He is a person who possesses the bloodline of the sacred beast Azure Dragon. Although he cannot achieve immortality, he can still achieve longevity.

"Uncle Zhou, how old is that boy now?" the fat man asked curiously.

Zhou Xun did not answer immediately, but started counting on his fingers.

Come to think of it, Zhou Xun really didn’t know how old the young man was.

Ten seconds later, Zhou Xun opened his eyes: "My brother was born in 1883, and he is exactly 120 years old this year!"

"One hundred and twenty?"

"How long have you lived?"

The fat man stood up instantly, his face full of disbelief.

When the young man celebrated his 100th birthday, the brothers had only known each other for a few years!

"The young man looks like he is only in his early twenties. Who would have thought that he has lived for 120 years? He is indeed worthy of being from a family of immortality with a thousand-year heritage!"

Shirley Yang exclaimed.

“Well, we were right to call him brother!” Zhou Xun hadn’t expected that the little brother actually lived for one hundred and twenty-two years. What a pity. His success was due to his perfect bloodline, but his failure was also due to his perfect bloodline!

Because of his perfect bloodline, the young man will live longer than anyone else in the Zhang family.

Also because of his perfect bloodline, this young man lives a more miserable life than anyone else in the Zhang family!

At least, he is not as carefree as Adjutant Zhang! ! !

Chapter 754: Changes in Tang and Song Antique City

time flies!

The whole afternoon was spent chatting with the brothers.

As the sun sets, the brothers get up and say goodbye, preparing to go back home to be with their wives and children.

Sitting under the pavilion (because it was snowing, so we sat under the pavilion to chat. If there was no rain or snow, we would drink tea at the open-air stone table. The backyard of the palace is very large, which can be understood as a small garden!)

(This palace is the largest palace that can be owned by a private individual, except for Prince Gong's Palace!)

Looking at the backs of his brothers, Zhou Xun suddenly recalled his past life.

In the past life, except for the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, etc., gatherings of friends like Zhou Xun who drank tea and chatted every day, especially drinking tea, were very rare.

In particular, it reminded Zhou Xun of his childhood life in the countryside.

At that time, time was very slow!

In this life, even if he could live forever, Zhou Xun would not let the rapid development of future technology and economy affect him in the slightest!

(Here, the author wishes all readers, all book friends, including everyone’s family, as well as the author himself and the author’s family, to live a slower life!!!)

........................................

The next day, noon!

After Zhou Xun had lunch at the palace, he brought Shirley Yang, Yingzi and the four fierce beasts to the Tang and Song Antique City.

After parking the car, several people strolled along the streets of the Tang and Song Antique City.

After a year of development, the number of tourists and customers who like to collect antiques in Tang and Song Antique City has increased!

Zhou Xun looked at the ancient buildings around him and felt very proud.

At present, in the Tang and Song Antique City, not only the shops but even the stalls are fully occupied.

Many shop owners have signed contracts with the property management of Tang and Song Antique City for ten or twenty years.

Of course, the contract also states that the annual rent is determined based on the market conditions of that year.

This item was added by Zhou Xun himself.

Others may not know how terrible the housing prices in Kyoto, the Third Ring Road, and the Second Ring Road will be in the future, but he knows it very clearly!

In recent years, the real estate companies under the Oriental Group and Lao Hu's real estate company have both acquired a lot of land early on and started development!

In this way, Zhou Xun even spared no effort to acquire land in Las Vegas and Hong Kong.

The group walked for about half an hour.

During the visit, we also saw a patrol car from the security department of the Tang and Song Antique City on patrol!

Apart from anything else, the security of Tang and Song Antique City has been absolutely excellent over the past twenty years. For twenty whole years, not a single case of petty theft or robbery has occurred in the market.

It's not that everyone has turned over a new leaf, but the security department of the Tang and Song Antique City is really great, making people afraid to take action.

Of course, the twenty armed Qinglong security guards stationed here also gave a great deterrent effect!!!

.........

"Hey, Sister Yang, look, there are candied haws over there. Let's go buy some. I haven't eaten them in years!"

Yingzi pointed at a candied haws stall in front of her and pulled Shirley Yang's arm and started shouting.

"How old are you? Why do you still like to eat children's snacks!" Shirley Yang stretched out her white jade fingers and gently touched Yingzi's white forehead!

"Who said that only children can eat candied haws? Look, the people buying them are all adults, and there are quite a few of them!"

Yingzi pointed at a few young men and women buying candied haws in front and said.

Zhou Xun smiled at Yingzi and Shirley Yang and said, "It's okay, eat whatever you want. We have plenty of money. If you like to eat these, I'll ask Dongfang to invite a master of making candied haws to the palace. You can eat them whenever you want in the future!"

"Aren't you afraid of eating her teeth?" Shirley Yang rolled her eyes at Zhou Xun.

"No need to go through so much trouble, I just want to eat it occasionally!" Yingzi felt sweet in her heart after hearing Zhou Xun's words, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Then let's go. It happens that I haven't been to the snack street of Tang and Song Antique City for a long time. I have heard that the snack street of Tang and Song Antique City is unique!"

This is not a random statement, Shirley Yang has actually heard people mention it, and even read an article in the newspaper describing the snack street in the Tang and Song Antique City!

A group of seven people slowly came to the stall selling candied haws.

The man selling the candied haws is a middle-aged man in his forties, and the prop he uses to sell the candied haws is not a futuristic car, but a wooden stick tied with straw from ancient times.

On the top of the wooden stick where straw was tied, red candied haws were inserted.

It is noon now. The boss of 200 should have just set up the stall not long ago. There are still a lot of candied haws on the stall, but not many have been sold yet.

"Boss, how many years have you been selling candied haws here?" Thinking like a boss in this life, Zhou Xun subconsciously started a market research.

"Hello, I have been selling here for ten years. Don't worry, the reputation and taste of my candied haws are absolutely top-notch!"

The boss thought Zhou Xun was afraid that he had bought a lot of food, so he quickly began to introduce it to them.

"So, you've been setting up a stall here for the past ten years. How's your business? Are there many people buying from you?" Zhou Xun didn't pay attention to the boss's introduction, but instead inquired about the business situation of the snack street.

Don’t underestimate the business of vendors and small shops in the snack street, as this often best reflects the true situation of the snack street in Tang and Song Antique City!

"Boss, I see you don't look familiar to me. You probably don't come here often. Doing business here will bring you much more profit than doing business outside."

"Why? Just look at the flow of people around here and you will know!"

"Don't worry, this is a ten-year-old shop, the taste is absolutely unique!"

The boss was not impatient and started chatting with Zhou Xun with a smile.

Chapter 755: Sanshi Teahouse

"Okay, give me seven skewers!" After saying that, Zhou Xun turned to the four fierce beasts and said, "I've never brought you guys to eat this candied haws before. It's just right. You can try it this time. If you like it, tell Dongfang to buy it for you in the future!"

After the four ferocious beasts came out of the system, they have been following Zhou Xun. Although they have tasted countless delicacies from land and sea and home-cooked dishes, they have never eaten these snacks!

The four ferocious beasts nodded slightly and looked at the bunches of red fruits on the wooden sticks curiously!

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away, or do you want to choose it yourself?" the boss asked with a smile.

Zhou Xun looked at Yingzi, who happily raised her hand: "I want to get it myself!"

Having said that, she began to select carefully. After a while, Yingzi picked out the seven best-looking candied haws and distributed them to everyone.

After Zhou Xun took the candied haws and paid the bill with the boss, the few of them continued to stroll on the snack street.

Smelling the aroma coming from the many famous shops in the snack street, several people ate candied haws while swallowing their saliva.

So delicious!

"Wow! The mutton skewers here smell so good!" Yingzi smelled the aroma, moved her nose, and moved towards the mutton kebab shop inadvertently.

Several people followed Yingzi and came to the door of a small shop selling lamb skewers.

Looking at the golden lamb skewers on the grill, Yingzi said with regret: "Oh, if I had known I wouldn't have eaten so much before going out!"

"You've been in Kyoto all the time. Don't you come over to play sometimes?" Shirley Yang couldn't help asking when she saw Yingzi was almost drooling.

"No, usually when you are not around, I run back and forth between the company and home, and rarely come to the antique city¨‖!" Yingzi said with a pout.

If Yingzi didn't say anything, Shirley Yang would have never thought that Yingzi would live such a homebody life: "Then don't you have any sisters to go shopping with you outside, except Peacock, Oriental Rose and the others!"

"Hmm...it seems there is nothing left!" Yingzi thought carefully for a while, but couldn't think of any answer.

Zhou Xun touched Yingzi's little head distressedly: "Yingzi, you should make more friends in the future, okay? Don't put all your efforts on your career."

"Our family and company have grown quite big, and we are not short of money, so remember to enjoy life and don't work so hard."

"Yeah!" Yingzi nodded vigorously.

"Look at you, how did you take care of Yingzi when I wasn't at home!" Shirley Yang was so angry at Zhou Xun that she was speechless. She pinched Zhou Xun's waist fiercely for ten seconds before letting him go.
