In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

Lord He looked at the piles of medicinal materials in front of him and was speechless in surprise. He had known that the Shen family was rich and well-established, but he didn't expect that besides food, there were so many medicinal materials.

It seems that I thought that their family was rich before, but I was wrong. Not only did their family have money, they also had the ability to obtain such hard-to-obtain medicinal materials.

Even the medicinal materials have been stored in so much. This is just money. No, in this era, medicinal materials are much more useful than silver, and they are as hard currency as gold.

Mr. He took out a large bag from his horse and poured out an ingot of silver. Someone asked him to bring the banknote before, but he firmly disagreed.

After all, silver notes are far less useful than silver ingots and gold. Since the Shen family and the villagers have helped them so much, there is no need to cheat them.

Although the money is not as valuable as before, it is much more reliable than banknotes. Giving them money gives me peace of mind, at least I am not doing anything wrong.

After Master He settled the payment, he immediately returned to the military camp with this batch of medicinal materials.

With this batch of medicinal materials, the wounded soldiers at least had hope of survival, and the remaining soldiers worked harder to resist the barbarians.

Another half month passed and the two sides were still fighting inseparably.

Master He came again, and this time he was accompanied by the husband of the fat lady before and an old man.

The old man seemed to be in a bad state of mind, his face was sallow, and he looked like he was sick.

"Master He, who is this?" Shen Nan asked curiously.

The old man's eyes looked at Xiaoye beside Shen Nan, his eyes burning brightly.

"Miss Shen, this is the owner of the jade pendant I told you last time. I didn't expect that I would find him this time, so I brought him back to you," the soldier said.

Shen Nan and Xiaoye looked at each other, but they didn't expect that he would actually be found. This old man was now surrounded by people, and Xiaoye would definitely not ignore him.

So she asked Xiaoye to take the old man to the Shen family's house first, and then she got some medicinal materials for Mr. He, and then returned to the house.

When she arrived at the house, the old man had been helped to a chair and sat down. At this time, he was wolfing down the porridge and some side dishes on the table.

This is also Nian's order. Before you know the other person's background, don't reveal the details of your family to him.

Moreover, there is no similarity between the old man and Xiao Ye Meiyu, which makes people doubt his origin even more.

When Shen Nan came back, she quietly sat opposite Xiao Ye and waited for the old man to finish his meal.

Everyone was standing by the windows and doorways to inquire about the situation, very curious.

This old man's skin was sallow, his figure was thin, and his eyes were cloudy. At first glance, it was the result of long-term malnutrition and starvation. After finally eating enough, he fell in love with Ono again.

"May I ask how old this young master is and who is in his family." Hearing him ask this question, several people in the room began to worry.

"Why did the old man ask like this?" Shen Nan did not answer his words, but asked her own doubts.

"My lord, please don't blame me. I just saw that this young master's eyebrows are somewhat similar to my elder brother's, so I asked. If it offends you, please don't blame me. Thank you for your hospitality today."

The old man seemed to have been treated unfairly. Shen Nan's words made him panic and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Nian quickly helped him up. If this person was really a member of Xiaoye's family, then if he knelt down, wouldn't his daughter have messed up her seniority?

The old man was helped up by Nian, but he was still looking around in fear. Everyone had different thoughts when they saw this scene.

"Old man, do you recognize this jade pendant?" Shen Nan handed the jade pendant he had obtained before to the old man.

The old man took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. After a few glances, he recognized that it was his jade pendant.

"Girl, this is indeed my jade pendant, but in order to fill my stomach, I had already exchanged it for a passing official."

"Well, that man gave me this jade pendant again, so I asked him to help find you."

"Does anyone else in your family also have this jade pendant?"

"That's right!" The old man looked at the servant who was looking at the door.

Hesitating and not knowing where to start, Shen Nan saw this scene and waved them all to leave, then closed the door, and then took a liking to the old man.

The old man looked deeply at Xiaoye and said, "If the eldest brother's child could live to this day, he would definitely be as old as this young master. This young master's features are very similar to the old eldest brother."

Having said this, Shen Nan naturally wouldn't think that there are people who look similar for no reason in the world, but this kind of thing should not be taken carelessly, so she asked one more question.

"But I see that the old man and Xiaoye don't look alike. What's the explanation?"

The old man nodded and said, "This is because the eldest brother and I are not related at all. I am just a child picked up by the madam and fostered in the name of the old man."

"Since you can raise someone who is not your biological son in your name, then why not your eldest brother's biological son!"

When Nian said this, he couldn't help but increase his tone.

If the wolves hadn't sent Xiaoye over at that time, or their family simply couldn't accept Xiaoye, a wolf cub. That Xiaoye might live in the mountains all his life, thinking that he is a wolf, never having children of his own, and being alone all his life.

The old man didn't know, but he remembered something and his mottled face was filled with tears.

When everyone saw this scene, they didn't know whether to step forward to comfort him or wait until he finished crying.

The old man also knew that he had lost his composure. He wiped the tears on his face and watched Xiaoye reveal the past decades.

"Although this young master doesn't have any status symbols on his body, just by looking at your eyebrows, I know that you must be my eldest brother's biological child."

"May I ask if this young master has been close to wild animals in the mountains and forests since he was a child?"

The three people in the room looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

The old man knew he was right as soon as he saw the three people's reactions.

"Young Master is the only heir of our Ji family now. Your parents, grandparents, and grandparents have all passed away."

Ono was not surprised when he heard these words. After all, he had never met them, so it must be a lie to say he was sad.

The old man paused, not knowing how to continue. After thinking for a while, he continued: "The young master is the only son of the Ji family. However, the Ji family has magical powers and is coveted by others. This is why you are still an infant. Stolen by unscrupulous people.”

"My wife, who just gave birth, lost her beloved son, and the disease developed during her confinement. After that, she and her eldest brother searched for you for five years, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed away."
