Strange World Survival Manual

It was late at night in a blink of an eye. By this time, the heavy rain had stopped, and only some scattered dripping sounds could be heard. It should be the sound of water falling from the eaves and hitting puddles.

At this moment, many people had fallen asleep, and there were only two servants left in the palace who were keeping vigil by the bonfire.

In order to cheer up the night, the two servants started chatting.

"If you ask me, that scholar doesn't look like a human being at all. When a group of us went up, this guy just spent a few tricks to make us afraid to go up again."

"No, Wang Feng was hit by the scholar's punch and passed out immediately. He didn't know how the scholar could have so much power if he looked so thin."

As they spoke, the two of them secretly looked in Li Si's direction. Seeing that Li Si was still sleeping, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time they lowered their voices to speak.

"It's really scary to say that. When we passed by him, I laughed at him." A middle-aged servant said with a sigh.

The other servant was much more relaxed than the younger servant, and said in a teasing tone: "Fortunately, this man doesn't care about the faults of others, otherwise our convoy would be in great trouble, and my poor old mother would be in trouble." She lost a son to die with."

It's just that although this person has a teasing tone, there is still a feeling of surviving a disaster in his tone.

The middle-aged servant sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that your mother has given birth to four or five children. She is still the same without you. If she really cared about you, she wouldn't have sold you to the Zhou Mansion. .”

Upon hearing what the middle-aged man said, the young servant became a little unhappy and snorted: "My family is like that. If my mother doesn't sell me to the Zhou family, my family won't be able to survive."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. His family was indeed almost unable to support him anymore, so his mother gritted her teeth and sold him to Zhou Fuzhong, and then used the money from selling him to support his four younger brothers and sisters.

In fact, he didn't have any hatred towards his parents. After all, under the circumstances at that time, if he hadn't been sold, they didn't know how many people in their family would have survived.

But just because his mother gritted her teeth and sold him, they all survived. For this, he admired his mother very much, and every time he paid monthly money, he would bring a little to the family to subsidize the family expenses.

When the middle-aged servant saw what he said, he didn't know how to answer the question. He also knew the situation in this man's family, so he changed the subject.

"Do you know why our master went to Zetian Mansion in such a hurry this time? I'm still confused."

Hearing his question, the young servant chuckled, then looked around, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "You don't know this, do you? This time, the master is going back to his ancestral land to worship his ancestors."

"Ancestral land?" A look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged servant's face, and he immediately said: "Didn't our master always start his business in Mengting County? Why is his ancestral land in Zetian Mansion?"

When the young servant saw his surprised look, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, obviously he was extremely satisfied with the middle-aged servant's performance.

There was a proud look on his face, and he said mysteriously: "It's not surprising if you don't know. Many people in this mansion don't know."

"That is to say, I have stayed in the mansion for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't know. I overheard this when I overheard the conversation between the master and the others. If we say that our master's ancestors have a lot of background."

"Oh? Then tell me." The middle-aged servant looked expectant, obviously very curious about this matter.

"Actually, our grandfather's generation made his fortune in Zetian Mansion. Our grandfather was a great man. He was a Jinshi in the 31st year of Yonglong and became a Jinshi in the Beiqing Mansion in the second year of Tongsheng. The prefect is here.”

Upon hearing the young servant's words, the middle-aged servant whispered: "How is this possible?"

The middle-aged servant's call startled the young servant, and he shouted in a low voice: "What's your name? Can you bear the responsibility for waking up the master?"

As he said this, the young servant looked towards the officer and saw that the officer was still sleeping peacefully, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The middle-aged servant also showed an embarrassed look on his face, scratched his head and said: "Aren't I frightened by this? And your words are too false. Our members are not very powerful even in Mengting County. He Why is grandpa the prefect?"

Seeing that the middle-aged servant doubted his words, the young servant showed an angry look on his face, but after thinking about it he still said: "This matter is more private, and I can't talk about it everywhere."

When the middle-aged servant heard this, the curiosity on his face suddenly became more intense. He rolled his eyes and said in a joking tone: "Isn't this just something you made up? Why do you bring this?" Lied to me."

This young servant was a little annoyed before. He became even more angry when he heard the middle-aged servant's joking tone. He said angrily: "You have been in Zhou Mansion for a few years. Don't you know who I am? How can I be? A pompous person.”

Hearing the young servant's words, the middle-aged servant felt happy, knowing that this man had taken the bait, and secretly sighed in his heart that this man was indeed still young.

But the middle-aged servant's face did not change, and he still said in a playful tone: "You also know that I have only been in Zhou Mansion for a few years. How do I know that you are not an exaggerated person in such a short time? After all, you have just been It’s too far-fetched to say.”

Hearing the middle-aged servant's words, the young servant's face became a little ugly, and then he hesitated a little. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he snorted and said: "Don't look down on me, I really have to tell you today. .”

"But you'd better not spread these things randomly and don't say it was me who said it, otherwise you won't know when you die."

When the middle-aged servant heard this, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable, but he was still a little curious in his heart, just like a kitten tickling his heart. If he didn't figure it out, he would probably die of discomfort.

"Actually, my grandfather's generation was indeed rich at the time. But he did something that caused a sensation at the time and plunged him into eternal disaster."

Seeing that the middle-aged servant still wanted to listen, the young servant spoke helplessly.

"It can be said that the old man at that time was considered to be perfect, and his governance ability was also very strong. Under his rule, Beiqing Mansion was getting better and better, but this old man had a problem, and that was greedy!"

"Actually, corruption has nothing to do with it. Who is not greedy in this officialdom? Three years to clear the magistrate's office, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, this is not just a casual talk. But the old man's corruption really caused a big problem."
