This old lady!
Su Daoshan was helpless. He could only say sternly: "My father didn't say this when he punished me yesterday. Maybe my grandmother heard wrongly."
"I heard that right!" Mother Su said with a long face, "I heard clearly that I was going to break your legs! Humph, if you dare to run away from home, what are you still doing with these legs? Beat them as soon as possible Good break!"
Su Daoshan snorted and looked away.
"Okay!" Mother Su was furious, "You are scorning me again!"
Pfft. Su Yu couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. Su Wan poked her finger on the waist and quickly stood up together. One of them was beating Mother Su's shoulders, the other was serving tea, and with Xi Xi's hugs in her arms, Mother Su's face couldn't be tense.
She gave Su Daoshan a hard look, then gave up, and said to the three women, "Okay, okay, my old bones can't stand your rubbing."
Su Daoshan's cheeks twitched.
In the Su family, Su Daoshan and the old lady had always been at odds with each other and had quite a lot of resentment.
This is not surprising, after all, how many elders can a stubborn, tough-talking tough guy like?
Besides, this old lady is also fun-loving and honorable. Among the grandchildren, the eldest grandson Su Daoyu has outstanding talent and is praised by everyone. Su Wan, Su and her two granddaughters were considerate and sensible, making her smile. Even Xi Xi was well-behaved in her arms.
Compared with them, this second grandson is just a stinky piece of shit. Others didn't dare to talk back to Su's mother, but he did. I can't even hold my neck back. Anyway, the greatest truth in heaven and earth is the greatest.
Even grandma can’t be unreasonable!
When grandfather and grandson meet, it is unusual for them not to quarrel.
However, Su Daoshan knew very well in his heart that despite the cold words of the old lady, her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes when she saw him, but she was soft-hearted...
"Mom, look, the third child and his wife have spoiled him," Su Xianwen said angrily at the side, "Now it's getting more and more outrageous. Not only did he run away from home, but he also behaved willfully outside, causing harm to the family. Ten carts of food were lost, and now this winter..."
Su Daoshan lowered his head and curled his lips.
To say that this unsophisticated and untimely gene obviously did not appear out of thin air. In the final analysis, it is still inherited from the ancestors of the Su family...
Sure enough, Su's mother's firepower shifted instantly and she said angrily to Su Xianwen: "As a grandmother, I'm trying to teach my grandson a lesson. Why are you interrupting me? Why, Mr. Su, the head of the family, blames my old lady?"
Su Xianwen was a little confused and stammered: "Isn't my son just talking about Daoshan? You still didn't see that yesterday, the City Lord's Mansion..."
"What's wrong with the City Lord's Mansion?" Mother Su looked at him sideways and said coldly, "Isn't it the Yue family or the Zhou family's boys who have been in the limelight? It doesn't matter what you say, they have already shown off to me. .Do you want to do it again?"
All the juniors in the room lowered their heads at the same time. Su Xianwen was secretly poked by Qian, his neck shrank, and he fell silent.
The inner residences of several major aristocratic families in Yishan City often move around each other. You could tell with your toes that Mother Su might have been angered by another proud old sister. Any more words now will add fuel to the fire.
After Su's mother scolded her, she waved her hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't we still have Daoyu at home? He is now the head of the Mohu Sword Sect. He is not comparable to the boys from those families. Just worry about the castle." Everything will be fine. Live peacefully for two years, and when Daoyu comes back, you will naturally feel proud as a father."
Su Xianwen and Mrs. Qian couldn't help but straighten their bodies when the old lady praised their son, and smiles appeared on their faces again.
Su's mother glared at Su Daoshan fiercely and said angrily: "You don't know how to learn from your elder brother! You are a saint and a gentleman all day long, but you have learned a lot, but you have become famous? If you have the ability, let the old lady do the same. I'll follow you and get some glory!"
After saying that, he saw Su Daoshan's neck was stiff and he was about to speak again, and hurriedly chased people away: "Okay, okay, your mother is still waiting for you to eat. Go quickly."
Seeing this, Su Daoshan could only take Su Xixi and leave.
After returning to Mrs. Jiang's courtyard in the east courtyard, after breakfast, it was time to go to school.
"Go out through the small door in the backyard," Mrs. Jiang warned. "Mr. Qiu and the others have been waiting for you in front of you early in the morning. They said they would teach you a lesson. If they catch you, you will be rewarded." "
"I'm not afraid of them!" Su Daoshan walked out the door with his head held high and walked out through the small door in the backyard. Sure enough, his companion Wang Tong was already waiting in his car.
Wang Tong was originally the boy beside Su Xianyi and was ten years older than Su Daoshan. Since Su Daoshan was born, he has been Su Daoshan's companion. He has an ordinary appearance, a taciturn character, but is steady and orderly in his work.
The carriage avoided the front yard and took a small road out of Sujiapu. Su Daoshan could hear several energetic voices chirping in the distance.
"When I see that kid soon, I have to spit in his face!"
"This little prodigal thing is going to carry a crazy puppet? He doesn't care about his own weight. With his small body..."
"How could someone from the Su family produce such a fool? He's acting stupid every day! I don't care, if you dare to short my family's rations this winter, I'll go to his family to eat!"
"..."
Su Daoshan was sitting in the swaying carriage, his heart beating fast.
Actually, he wasn't too worried. It wasn’t just once or twice that the original person stabbed Lou Zi. Anyway, in the end, someone at home naturally came out to wipe the butt. Dad, Mom, including the old lady with a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes...
Besides, Su Daoshan was very clear-minded.
These old monsters in the castle are just trying to scare nerds like the original self. Do they really want to catch me and teach me a lesson?
They have grown up looking at him as a fool. Not to mention scolding, even a beating will not solve the problem - these old guys are just taking the opportunity to tell the people who should listen.
However, if he got into trouble, he would be like a rat on the street and attract people's attention for a few days. At least we have to wait until someone's deficit of ten carts of food is made up, so that these people can feel at ease.
The carriage traveled along the main road, all the way to the center of Yishan City.
The climate in Yishan City is cold, windy and sandy, and the land is barren. In many places there are rocks three feet down. There is only a thin layer of soil. Because it was already early winter, the fields in the city were bare and looked even more desolate.
There were quite a few pedestrians on the street. Most of them go to nearby workshops to work. This is the system that Yishan City has formed over the years. In ordinary times, no industry can compete with time and land for growing grain. But when there is slack farming or when there is no more food to plow in the fields, other industries will start to operate quickly.
The woven cloth needs to be made into thick cotton clothes, the harvested grain and vegetables need to be stored in cellars, farm tools need to be repaired, weapons and armor in the warehouse need to be prepared, houses need to be repaired, dried medicine needs to be made into pills, drains need to be cleaned, The militia needs to be trained...
Nowadays, the most common people on the road are convoys leaving the city to cut wood and burn charcoal. In the cold winter, no matter how thick the wall in your home is, it can be blown through by the white hair wind. If there is no charcoal burning, it will really freeze people to death.
Su Daoshan looked thoughtfully.
The memories in the original body's mind are being digested bit by bit through this kind of personal contact, gradually expanding into an intuitive understanding of the world.
Su Daoshan felt that after experiencing the catastrophe of the apocalypse and being forced by crazy blockades and attacks in the wild for a long time, Yishan City already had some shadows of the early industrialization and organization of towns in its previous life.
With six forts and twelve squares, tens of thousands of people, a system has been formed about what to do at what time, how to distribute food, how to organize defense, and how many production tasks each industry should complete. This system may not be developed, but it is the basis for ensuring the long-term survival of the people in Yishan City during the siege.
only……
Su Daoshan stared out the window and tapped his fingers lightly on the windowsill. He knew that the real Yishan City was not as harmonious as the peaceful and busy scene under the early morning sun seemed.
This is a cruel world. Just outside the city, there are countless refugees struggling on the edge of hunger and death every day. There are countless people who face threats from crazy puppets and alien species at any time. There are many children who don't even have time to grow up.
Not only do crazy puppets eat people, they also eat people!
And why can the people in the city enjoy the protection of the city walls and the army? Why can they have a full bowl of food, live in warm houses, and live a life that is like paradise in the eyes of the refugees?
This is certainly not the result of everyone being humble to each other and the teachings of saints and gentlemen.
This system is based on the law of the jungle. It is based on life-and-death struggle and bloody killing.
The entire system is ruthless and cold-blooded from top to bottom.
And this cruelty and cold-bloodedness will not be blocked by the boundaries of a city wall. The same people's hearts, the same social structure, the world outside the city is cruel, but the struggle in the city is also bloody.
Not to mention anything else, in the past hundred years, the aristocratic families in the city have changed three times.
The first group was the dozens of forces that took root in Yishan City at the end of the world-destroying catastrophe, relying on the force they had at their disposal. They built the city together to resist the You tribe and the crazy puppets, and they also killed each other to compete for land and a morsel of food to survive. In the end, the ones that were exterminated were exterminated, and the ones that were annexed were annexed, leaving only ten.
The second group of aristocratic families was when the Xi Kingdom was established. Some families who could not see the situation clearly and chose the wrong path eventually became fans under the iron heel of the army.
The new rich need a share of profits, the court needs rewards, and the bottom line is their blood and heads.
Only if they die can a new order emerge.
It was at that time that the Su family jumped from a small family. The current structure of the six major families was also established at that time.
The third time was a major case that swept the entire Xi Kingdom more than ten years ago. Countless aristocratic families were killed in this major case. Two of the six major families in Yishan City have changed. The Zhu family also became the city lords at that time.
The Ye family, the original city owner, had a family of sixty-three, and it was said that not a single one was left. There were nearly two thousand people in Yejiabao, and they were either dying or running away. Even if he saved his life, he was reduced to a homeless man in the wilderness.
Su Daoshan sighed.
There are many memories in the original body's mind. The original person never thought about these memories, or even paid attention to them. But Su Daoshan was able to see through these memories some things that he was blind to.
In an unfamiliar world, it is important to have comprehensive information. But if you think too much, you will not only get tired, but you will also age quickly.
What was especially frustrating was that the carriage vibrated again, and a faint fragrance that seemed to have been there before came.
Sure enough she came.
