So What If You've Been Reborn?

Something happened to the Shi family's caravan!

As if to fulfill the principle of "Walk along the river without getting your shoes wet", Shi Cang failed. The caravan of dozens of people did not arrive in Anyang on time, and it dragged on for another two days. The mark of the Shijia shop was found on the wheel track mark and the brand mark of the horse corpse.

When the news was sent back to Wucheng, Shi's family fell into panic and mourning like the sky was collapsing.

Shi Cang is 32 years old. Apart from being an embarrassing role in Master Fei's stupid story, the people of Wucheng still have a good impression of him. He is handsome and heroic. The whole Dongning County wants to pick out a man who is more handsome than him. are difficult.

Shi Feng had been ill for many years, never going out, and compared to his brother, he was more like his mother, far less heroic than Shi Cang.After becoming an adult, Shi Cang has added a restrained and mature charm. Not only is he superb in martial arts, he is also in charge of the business of Shi's family.

In the minds of the manager and the shop assistants of Shi's shop, the eldest young master is much better than the young young master who can only read books and is in poor health.The Shi family will always rely on Shi Cang in the future, and now something happened to Shi Cang, what should we do?

Merchants in Wucheng were watching the excitement, anxious for the Shi family, and trying to seize the Shi family's business in the chaos, everywhere.

After such a big incident happened, Shi Feng naturally couldn't leave.

The release member hurriedly inquired about the news, and his wife stopped reading Buddhist scriptures, and she cried with her daughter-in-law every day.Shi Cang has been married for many years, but has no children.The etiquette is different, and Shi Feng has not seen this sister-in-law a few times in these years.

Things are far worse than expected.

The caravan of the Shi family was ransacked, but no body was found. The other party may want to ask for a ransom.Shi's shop did not receive such extortion letters at all, and dozens of people disappeared without a trace, probably because the other party used some kind of poisonous method.

Sure enough, within half a month, news came that a body had been dug up on the river beach not far away, and Shi Cang had died unexpectedly.

Shi Yuanwai immediately fell ill, Shi Feng's sister-in-law hanged herself, Shi Feng's mother knew nothing about business, and those with ulterior motives took advantage of the opportunity to strike.The Shi family fell into decline in an instant, the shop was sold, the steward Juanyin ran away, and Wucheng Ling took a fancy to the Shi family's house again.

"When I was 17 years old, I suddenly realized that no matter how much I was ignored in the Shi family, in the eyes of outsiders, I was still from the Shi family. This tree fell and everyone scattered. The desolate decline happened too fast and too terrible."

Shi Feng spoke calmly, but Chen Ho could hear a faint sarcasm in it.

Chen He asked cautiously: "At that time, it was not easy..."

Of course it was difficult. When Shi Feng was young, he had never been in contact with family business and affairs. He had no chance before, but then the mess came to him.He doesn't understand at all, and he can't do it. He is in a state of desperation, and every day is bad news.

The owed goods are flying like a snowflake of IOUs, some are real, most of them are fake, leaving only an empty shell of the Shi family, when a servant of the family blatantly carries things and sneaks away every day, what else is there? Can you hold on?

The house of the Shi family was mortgaged in the end, and Wucheng Ling got the garden without spending a penny. When he was happy, he let go of his hand, signaling that enough is enough for the Wucheng family and merchants. It's a different matter when people die.

With such "compassion", Shi Feng was finally able to keep 20 taels of silver, and together with a few loyal old servants of the Shi family, hired a carriage, and took his parents to prepare to leave.

Wucheng, this sad place, they are never planning to come back.

"...I was lying on the bumpy carriage, looking at the dark night, everything in the past was like a big dream. I once wanted to run away from home, and the complaints to my parents and elder brothers seemed so naive and ridiculous. A real disaster can destroy everything. The sinister intentions of outsiders are to step you into the abyss, and even the way of life is given by them arrogantly, compared with it, being ignored and ignored is nothing."

Shi Feng fell into the long memory and sighed in a daze.

That night he comforted his parents, left Dongning County, went to the remote countryside, first bought a few acres of land and house to settle down, and then settled other matters step by step, so that he could support Shi's family in the future.

The pain of loss will always exist, but the future is not without hope.

Unfortunately, when he woke up the next day, his parents were gone.

Shi Feng dragged his sick body, took his wife and his loyal old servants, took away all the money, and left only an old nanny who couldn't move well for Shi Feng, and just set out on the road.

"The master said that the body of the young master is still lying in the yizhuang in Anyang." The old mother told Shi Feng the whereabouts of Shi Yuanwai.

"The Anyang case is still pending, brother... Didn't everyone in the caravan be buried by the government? How could it be possible to lie in Yizhuang?"

"That's a mass grave, how could the young master suffer that kind of grievance."

"..."

After a long time, Shi Feng recovered his voice: "Are they going to Anyang?"

"Yes, the master and wife have said that they don't want to go to the countryside to buy fields and live a poor life. They will live by the young master's side for the rest of their lives. The young master is gone, and there is no one to burn paper money for food during the festivals. What's the matter!"

Shi Feng's whole body was stiff, and for a moment, he suspected that even his sister-in-law didn't hang herself, but her mother "sent" her down to accompany his brother to relieve boredom.

Shi Yuanwai and his wife took their preference for the eldest son for granted, even to the point that Shi Feng couldn't understand.

——Is it difficult to tell Shi Feng face to face that they are going to Anyang?

No, they didn't say a word, just like before, they didn't care or care what the youngest son thought.They took away the silver carriage, not forgetting even the servants, but left Shi Feng behind.

The remaining old servants of the Shi family were all served by their side when they migrated to Wucheng 17 years ago. It is said that they were brought here from their hometown in Guanzhong.This old nanny is no exception. She is used to the master's attitude towards the youngest son, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. She even said in a babbling voice: "The young master's revenge has not been reported, the case is not over, and the murderer has not been punished! The Shi family can't Forget it, young master, how can you say such things as running to the countryside to hide, the master was so angry that he couldn't sleep last night, so he left all night!"

"..."

How to report?How can you get through the government's connections without money?Have they forgotten that the Shi family's house was blackmailed by Wucheng Ling, a small magistrate, with nothing to do? With the imprint of the yamen, who gave the Shi family down to this point?

Shi Cang died unjustly, but if he wanted revenge, he had to live well first.

It’s okay for Mammy to be an old woman, even the release staff—

"Young master, I am old and can't walk anymore. The master is merciful and gave me some money as a retirement pension. Don't make the master angry, just catch up quickly. The master and wife will forgive you."

Mammy was chanting, but Shi Feng's eyes were fixed and he didn't want to listen.

He fell ill again on the same day. After recovering from a serious illness, his body was weak, and he caught up with the great changes in the Shi family. During these days, he was exhausted, worried, and frightened. He finally left Wucheng, and suffered such a blow. .

After he experienced the heat and cold of the world, he just felt that he was a member of the Shi family, and his blood and family ties were endless.

After all, the five fingers still have different lengths. It is human nature for parents to prefer their children. If they are too biased, they are still parents who have the grace of giving birth.When the family closes their doors, the biggest conflict is only an inch. When outsiders want to destroy Shi's family, no matter who is good at talking at home, and who is Shi's favorite son, they will be bullied and oppressed in the same way.

"I thought I'd come to my senses. I no longer had the spirit of a teenager. I wanted to settle down my parents, let the Shi family get back together, and spent a long time and a lot of effort to investigate my brother's death and take revenge on those greedy guys in Wucheng. The road ahead is bumpy. , but I’m still young, I can learn what I don’t understand, I can think about what I don’t know, in ten or eight years, there will always be a day…”

"Senior brother." Chen He held Shi Feng's hand nervously, not daring to let him continue.

Just thinking about it, Chen Ho felt a chill in his bones.

Heart disease is the most difficult to cure in the world. At the age of 17, Shi Feng was physically and mentally exhausted, filled with despair and resentment. This time he collapsed, he was probably even more ill than before.

Shi Feng's high fever persisted, and he was in a daze.

Shi Yuanwai took all the silver away, leaving only a few hundred copper coins, which was enough for Shi Feng to use for three months.Now that I am seriously ill, I asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription to buy medicine, and it took me only a few days to completely use it up.

The innkeeper was afraid that it would be unlucky for someone to die inside, and seeing that he couldn't pay, he drove Shi Feng and the old mother out without any explanation.

The old nanny was stupid and talkative, but she was not a villain. She didn't leave Shi Feng behind, she spent all the valuables on her body, begged along the street, and begged the doctor in the medicine hall for mercy.

Shi Feng's appearance was seen by others, and no need to say much, passers-by would believe the saying that "the master's family suffered an accident and fell, and the young master can't afford to be seriously ill".

Even if you are a young master, it is rare to be born with such an appearance.

They had just left Wucheng, and the incident in Shi's family caused a lot of trouble, and it spread to nearby villages and towns. Others thought about the rumors that the young master of Shi's family was weak and sick, so they didn't understand. Give alms.

This little thing can't starve a beggar to death, but it's as difficult as going to heaven to treat Shi Feng's illness.

Just when he was desperate, seeing that he was dying of illness on the street, and both master and servant were dragged into Yizhuang to be buried in a mass grave, a passing Taoist stopped in his tracks.

"Master?"

"Yes."

Shi Feng lowered his head and touched Chen Ho's nervous and worried face: "If I hadn't met Master, I would have died a long time ago."

Nan Hongzi was traveling all over the world, and happened to hear the news that there were some rare elixir in Dongning County, so he passed by here.

This year, Nan Hongzi was only over 40 years old, and he was already at the late stage of Yuanying. The Jin state was not considered the fastest in the cultivation world, but thinking that he was a general in the frontier before the age of [-], he had never learned Any practice method, this is very remarkable.

After seeing through the world and becoming a monk, he joined the Beixuan School by chance, but he was unruly by nature and could not stay in one place for long, so he was used to traveling everywhere. He entered the Tao with martial arts, and his own strength was strong. Except for the great sect and those venerable demons, no one can stop him.

Nan Hongzi glanced at Shi Feng, first realized that his life was not worth dying, so he didn't mind reaching out to save him.

Ordinary people are suffering, and the misfortune of the Shi family spread to Nan Hongzi's ears from the mouths of passers-by. He didn't care at first, but when he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, he found that Shi Feng was terminally ill, but there was an unwillingness to die in his heart to support him.

Nan Hongzi was not a Taoist of the Heluo sect, and he was not that proficient in face-to-face. It took him a while to find out that Shi Feng's bones were good, and it was only a few days later that he discovered that this was the rumored number of three calamities and nine fatalities.

At that time Shi Feng had already woken up, staring blankly at the mice running on the beams of the ruined temple.

Sitting in front of him was a weeping and red-eyed old lady, and a Taoist with white beard and hair, dressed in blue clothes and cloud shoes, with cold eyes and dignified dignity.

"My name is Nan Hongzi, would you like to leave with me?"

"release…"

"The matter of your family is nothing. I can kill the Anyang bandit with a single sword. The prefect of Dongning County is noble and clean, and Wucheng has left a lot of evidence. Ling must be dismissed from office, and all merchants will hand over your family's wealth in order to get rid of crimes. Although it is not perfect and not short of a penny, it is still a considerable amount of wealth."

Nan Hongzi asked resolutely: "Are you going to be a son of a rich family in the mortal world, or leave with me?"

"Where is the Taoist priest's immortal residence?"

"The Great Snow Mountain outside the pass."

"What can I learn?"

"Explore the mystic and enlighten the senses, forget the feelings and separate from the vulgar, the spirit of the heaven and the earth, the reason of all metaphors, the invincible courage, the unpredictable skills of gods and ghosts." Nan Hongzi added at the end, "Your family's wealth, It is more than enough to make your parents have no worries in Anyang."

"…it is good."
