When Old Man Yunhe mentioned Sangou's father, Old Man Yunhe's third son, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
This comment is not actually very insulting, but it is quite harmful.
Sangou actually knew that his parents might not be reliable since he was a child, but after receiving this comment from his respected grandfather, Sangou was still a little depressed.
But he didn't get angry with his grandfather. After all, his father was his grandfather's son. It was only natural for him to scold his son, not to mention that his grandfather would definitely not say that for no reason.
Sangou was frustrated, while Jiang Yue was surprised.
The estrangement between father and son that grandpa mentioned was something Jiang Yue had never imagined.
My father has always been an easy-going, elegant and aloof character, and he has always been very deferential to his elders. How could there be a gap between him and his grandfather?
Where does this really start?
However, being so disturbed by Sangou, Jiang Yue couldn't ask in detail. After all, it involved his parents' secrets, and Jiang Yue didn't want to talk too much about it on such an occasion.
It's not that I can't trust Sangou, but it's just that there's no need.
Fortunately, the three of us had a tacit understanding and did not continue on these issues.
"Xiaoyue, Sangou, as the descendants of the Lao Jiang family, Grandpa can't say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe it is not fair to say this, but we, the children of the Lao Jiang family, may be destined to bear responsibilities that others do not need to bear.
I hope that one day when you face a difficult decision, you can remember this. Some people may be destined to carry a heavy burden and move forward. And we, the children of the Lao Jiang family, may be born with this fate."
Sangou suddenly asked: "Grandpa, is my dad unwilling to accept this? So he became a deserter?"
It can be heard that Sangou's tone is somewhat uncomfortable when he talks about this.
At his age, who doesn’t want his father to be an unparalleled hero? Who wants his father to be a coward who runs away from battle?
Old Yunhe sighed: "It can't be said that he is a deserter. Maybe your grandma and I spoiled him. He has been rebellious since he was a child, with great ambitions but little talent. His temperament is not suitable for inheriting the inheritance of our old Jiang family. Strong.
If you drag him in, you can only harm him."
Sangou heard that his grandfather was vague and didn't say it clearly, but he could guess. Grandpa's remarks were relatively reserved. He didn't want to criticize his father in front of his son, and it also saved some face for his father.
That’s all.
To put it mildly, isn’t it just that the mud cannot support the wall?
Old Yun He deliberately changed the subject: "Xiao Yue, we are already trying our best to find clues. When you are unable to break the situation in Star City, I suggest you go outside. Especially to find out where the other nearest stronghold is.
The Weird Tree has twenty-eight points on the planet Gaia. In our country, there must be several. Calculated based on the proportion of the land, there are as few as three or four, as many as five or six.
It's possible. What you have to do is not to let these strongholds be connected, let alone their roots. Otherwise, the country of Dazhang will never have peace."
This is exactly what Jiang Yue is thinking about right now.
Star City cannot break the situation, does that mean we can start from somewhere else?
"Grandpa, I will pay attention to inquire. However, now that everything is scattered and communication is interrupted, even the central government will find it difficult to coordinate."
"You don't need to worry about this. The central government will definitely have a solution. Compared with other countries and regions, our biggest advantage is the central government's coordination ability. Our way of thinking about concentrating our efforts on big things is unmatched by other places."
"Sir, what do you mean, we still have to take the upper-class route?"
"Xiao Yue, when you reach a certain level, if you don't want to take the upper-level route, the upper-level route will find you. There are no absolute pros and cons. Human beings are on the verge of critical survival, and there is no need to stick to these rules."
Old Yunhe enlightened Jiang Yue.
He knew very well that his grandson's thinking and way of doing things were greatly influenced by him.
Old Yunhe had little contact with official people at first. He lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, far away from the center of power, and did not have much contact with power.
To put it bluntly, this is because Old Man Yunhe is upright and upright and does not want his extraordinary abilities to interfere with the operation of secular power agencies.
These principles are extremely respectable virtues in the Sunshine Age.
After all, power is a very alluring thing. There are many people who claim to be indifferent to fame and wealth, but only few can actually achieve it.
Elder Yunhe's words and deeds are consistent, he truly stays away from the center of power, does not have contact with secular officials, and does not even show his face in the secular world unless necessary.
His thinking was definitely a model in the Sunshine Era.
But he also knew that in a strange era, if Jiang Yue still had this kind of thinking, it would inevitably be a little inappropriate.
Jiang Yue nodded thoughtfully.
He has never joined the Action Bureau or the official government. It is absolutely false to say that there is no influence from his grandfather.
To say that his grandfather's influence on him may be greater than that of his parents to a certain extent.
After all, when Jiang Yue was young, his mother was a busy business person. His father spent more time running the house, took good care of their siblings, and taught them many principles of life. However, in terms of shaping their temperament,
Jiang Yue asked himself whether his grandfather played a greater role.
The father in my memory was a maniac who doted on his wife. It could even be said that he acted as both father and mother in order to support his mother's work.
"Xiao Yue, are you listening?" Old Yunhe asked after receiving no response from Jiang Yue.
"exist."
"Xiao Yue, grandpa stayed away from the center of power because he didn't want to disrupt the order of power in the sunshine era. But now is a strange era, and the order itself has been shaken, so a stronger force is needed to correct it and protect it. You have to remember
Remember, you must learn to change with the times and assess the situation."
"Yes, I listen to grandpa." Jiang Yue nodded and said seriously.
Sangou said with a smile: "Grandpa, my eldest sister joined the military, and I also joined the Star City Operations Bureau. Our old Jiang family is now considered a proud ancestor. My second brother is even more ruthless. The leader of Star City desperately wants to recruit him as his son-in-law.
!I heard that there is a sister Li Yue, who is the daughter of the boss of the center. She and her second brother have also been friends for many years..."
The taste of whatever words come into Sangou's mouth will always change.
This guy's ability to deflect the topic is absolutely top-notch.
Old Yunhe laughed: "Xiao Yue, I know you are popular with girls, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. Yes, it should be the style of our Lao Jiang family. In this regard, it is different from your father and your third uncle.
, they don’t have much potential.”
I don’t know if the old man was joking or sighing from the bottom of his heart.
It sounds like the old man is dissatisfied with both his second son and his third son, and is a bit embarrassed by the old man?
Sangou was stunned and asked stupidly: "Master, what do you mean? Second brother, is this a big carrot, okay?"
Old Yunhe smiled and said: "What's the point? There will always be many girls chasing after excellent men. If you hang yourself from a tree, it will appear that you are incompetent and not good enough. Sangouzi, you have to learn more.
Be careful with your second brother. Don’t be as hopeless as your father in the future."
"What's wrong with my dad?"
"Your dad, he was tricked not long after he left school. He wanted to be a father, and he almost didn't get sent to jail."
"What?" Sangou was stunned, "I want to be your father? Is it me?"
"You're still early. It will be your turn to be born several years later."
"Sir, you mean, my father has other sons?" When Sangou heard this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy. He felt the pain of being betrayed.
"Haha, where are the other sons? Your father is a big scapegoat who takes the blame. The child is not his at all, they are just blackmailing him."
Sangou became even more angry when he heard this: "There is still such a thing. Master, they did this to your son, and you didn't show them any color?"
"Your second uncle is handling this matter. If he dares to come back to see me, I won't break his legs?" Old Yunhe said about his third son, obviously with a lot of resentment.
Jiang Yue was a little speechless. He didn't realize it when he was a child, but now he realizes that his grandfather's temperament also seems to be a bit restless.
He and Sangou actually had a lively conversation on this topic.
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, it would be difficult to equate Jiang Yue with the grandfather he remembered from his childhood.
It sounds like the pair of girls surrounding them are the descendants of the old Jiang family that grandpa admires.
Being played around by women, such as your third uncle, or being played around in front of your wife, such as your father, doesn't seem to attract Grandpa's eyes very much?
Is grandpa more harsh on the next generation, or is he more harsh on the next generation?
Jiang Yue was a little hard to distinguish for a while.
Fortunately, this inappropriate topic did not last too long. The topic was finally changed by grandpa.
After a detailed exchange, both Jiang Yue and Sangou learned a lot.
What's strange is that this time grandpa didn't mention their cultivation at all, nor did he mention the specific details of the family inheritance.
It wasn't until this magical exchange ended that the strange layer of smoke slowly dissipated.
The two brothers seemed to have returned to this world again.
Sangou looked surprised: "Second brother, weren't you just dreaming?"
"Be a big-headed idiot." Jiang Yue slapped him in the face, "Who asked you to talk nonsense just now? What kind of daughter is in charge, what is the daughter of the central government..."
The three dogs frowned and said: "That's right, second brother, you can't pressure me to tell the truth, can you?"
While the two brothers were talking, footsteps and calls came from outside the ancestral hall, but it was my sister-in-law, Han Jingjing and others who came nearby.
Jiang Yue and Sangou walked out of the ancestral hall. My sister-in-law complained: "Where have you two boys been for so long? I can't find you anywhere!"
Sangou looked innocent: "We are just at the ancestral hall, we haven't gone anywhere. It's only been a while, and we are not three-year-olds."
Jiang Yue looked at his watch, looking a little stunned.
Almost three hours have passed.
In that kind of communication atmosphere, it seemed like only half an hour had passed.
The feeling of time passing is completely different from the real world.
Moreover, my sister-in-law and the others had obviously gone into the ancestral hall to look for them. Why didn’t they find them when they entered the ancestral hall?
All this is self-evident.
In other words, during the communication stage, they seemed to be in the ancestral hall, but in fact they were not in the ancestral hall?
My sister-in-law cursed loudly, holding Sangou's ears and saying: "Young dog hasn't been beaten for a while, is your skin itchy? How dare you lie to your aunt?"
Sangou grinned in pain and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Yue.
"Girl, it's not Sangou's fault. I took him to the back mountain for a tour. In this weird world, we want to see if grandpa left any clues for us."
My sister-in-law hummed and said: "On this matter, what can't be said? You are so arrogant. It makes everyone worried about you."
Sangou stroked his ears and curled his lips: "Girl, you really treat us like three-year-old children. In Panshiling, the people who can touch our two brothers have not yet been reincarnated."
Jiang Yue, however, waved his hand to signal Sangou to say less, then turned around and revealed everything.
It's not that I can't trust these people, but the fact that grandpa faked his death is of great importance and it is necessary to keep it a secret.
Back at his old house, his sister-in-law asked him if he had found any useful clues. Jiang Yue only said that the situation was not very clear at the moment.
"Girl, we have to return to Star City tomorrow to deal with the Geocentric Clan. Maybe the battlefield cannot be limited to Star City."
My sister-in-law was stunned and looked a little disappointed: "You just came and you're leaving now?"
In her opinion, it was necessary to stay there for only three to five days so that everyone could have a good time together.
She didn't care whether cooking was tiring or not. She had always liked liveliness. Such lively scenes were doubly rare in today's world, and she very much hoped they could last longer.
"Girl, time waits for no one. The strange tree will not wait for us for three or five days." Jiang Yue also wanted to lie down, but the current situation made it impossible for him to lie down.
Originally, he was thinking about whether to go over Dajin Mountain to the other side of Dajin Mountain, visit the military, see what the situation was like there, and check out his sister Jiang Ying.
Now it seems that this time may not be available.
The group chatted for a while, and then my sister-in-law began to prepare dinner.
Others tidy the house, make the bed, etc.
There are so many people tonight, so there is no need to stay at the ancestral hall.
The old house has two floors and a lot of rooms. Even laying floors is not a problem this season.
It's not difficult to have boys in one room, girls in one room, and my sister-in-law's family in one room.
After a while, several rooms were sorted out.
Girls like Han Jingjing rarely spend the night outside, especially in a mountain village like Panshiling, so the novelty is naturally great.
At this moment, Mao Doudou outside suddenly hurried into the house.
"Brother Yue, I was wandering at the entrance of the village just now, and I seemed to see figures walking in the distance at Dajin Mountain. It looked like they were coming this way."
"How many people?" Jiang Yue was slightly surprised.
"There aren't many people, but they look a little sneaky, as if they're probing for something. I'm worried that the people who come here are bad. Do you want to intercept and kill them?"
Mao Doudou was eager to give it a try. Even if he came to a mountain village like this, he couldn't wait to find someone to fight.
"Don't rush into fighting and killing, let's take a look at the situation first," Jiang Yue said.
My sister-in-law said, "Then I won't cook the food first?"
"Keep cooking, let's do whatever we need to do, don't let the rhythm be disrupted."
Jiang Yue knew that his sister-in-law was worried about being discovered by intruders due to too much smoke. However, if the other party was really serious, he should have discovered the smoke long ago, and it was too late to stop cooking now.
