Chapter 248 Future Land Lord
"No, I've been here for decades and I've been used to it. If I change the place, I won't be used to it."
Uncle Qi waved his hand and rejected the kindness of Su Jun and others.
The Soviet army also wanted to persuade him, because although Uncle Qi found a wife after he came out, his conditions at that time were impossible for the daughter of an ordinary family to marry him. Aunt Qi was a widow who had married a wife and would not have children at that time. The two old men still have no real descendants.
Two elderly people who did not act very well, plus a fool, they were really worried about living in such places. If the elderly get sick or fall one day, they will die if they are not sent to the hospital in time.
As for the old man, he actually relies on his energy to support himself. It will be difficult to fall down immediately.
The three brothers of Su Jun have never seen some elderly people in the village. They look very energetic, but once they get sick or fall, they will lose nothing and will die soon.
The old man is so fragile.
"Uncle, I think I'll let Uncle Qi stay here. Uncle Qi has been here for so many years and is already familiar with the environment here. You may not necessarily adapt to a new place."
Su Chen spoke. He said this not because he didn't want the family to support an elderly person more and more burdens, but because he knew that letting Uncle Qi leave here was not a good choice.
Older people, especially those in their 80s like Uncle Qi, are very sensitive to the surrounding living environment. If you change to a strange environment, you will not feel comfortable with the elderly without familiar people.
In addition to these reasons, Su Chen did not recommend that Uncle Qi leave here. There is another very important reason, that is, Uncle Qi could live longer if he was here.
When he first saw this Seventh Uncle, Su Chen had seen the face of this Seventh Uncle. He found that he could not see the aura of this Seventh Uncle. What does this mean? Either this Seventh Uncle is also a cultivator and is even stronger than him, or if this Seventh Uncle had long been dead, he would have died of it.
Su Chen did not think that Uncle Qi was the former. Even if a strong man hides himself, he would not be able to make his life so hard. This is not hiding, but self-abuse.
So there is only one possibility that the reason why I can’t see through Uncle Seven’s energy is because Uncle Seven’s life has been used up, but a person who has used up his life can still live. With Uncle Seven’s situation, there is only one possibility that the local landlord will prolong his life.
The Land Lord protects the safety of the people, but his strength is not very strong. In many folk stories, there are even stories of monsters occupying the position of the Land Lord, or killing the Land Lord and slaughtering the entire village. Some of these stories are indeed true.
The strength of the Land Lord is indeed not strong, because the Land Lord was not enthroned by the above, but was held by a local person with outstanding prestige after his death. Therefore, the Land Lord has a power, that is, to choose the next Land Lord.
Each of the Lord of Land will leave after a certain period of time, but before leaving, they will choose the next heir. As the heir selected by the Lord of Land, one benefit can be obtained, which is to increase his life and allow him to spend more years with his family.
Uncle Qi is already the future heir of the Land Lord of Lingshan Town, so it is impossible to leave Lingshan Town. Once he leaves, the increased life span will immediately disappear. This is the rule and no one is allowed to destroy it.
Thinking of this, Su Chen was glad that he went back to his hometown and followed his father to come here. Otherwise, with the guilt of uncle and his father towards Uncle Seven, even if Uncle Seven was unwilling to leave Lingshan, he would persuade Uncle Seven to stay at home for a few days, which would be equivalent to harming Uncle Seven.
"Your son is right. I'm so old that I don't want to make trouble anymore. I'm already very happy that you can come to see me."
Uncle Seven said this to Su Chen's father. Uncle Seven said this, and the Su Jun and his brothers couldn't persuade him any more, but Su Chen's father glared at Su Chen in secret.
Everyone sat in the yard and chatted. Su Chen's cousins also went to the kitchen to help. In a short while, a table of steaming food was ready.
"We are not like the city in the mountains. There are not so many good dishes. These are picked from the fields. This is the bacon made in the twelfth lunar month last year. You can try it."
Uncle Qi naturally doesn't drink alcohol at this age, but the old man also has alcohol at home, which is given by people from the village. When he was chatting, Su Chen also knew that Uncle Qi has a high prestige in the village.
The reason is very simple. Uncle Qi was in prison for seven years, and after he came out, he came here. After all, he had studied and learned to write. At that time, many children in the village practiced calligraphy with him. Even if someone's child applied for a university, people in the village would come to ask Uncle Qi for his opinions.
It is no exaggeration to say that those children who have made a promising career in the village come to pay New Year's greetings every year after the Chinese New Year. The elderly cannot eat or drink anything. These things are finally assigned to some poor families in the village by Uncle Qi.
There are many people coming to the Su family this time, and they will definitely not be able to sit at a table. The main table is the Eight Immortals Table, namely the Seventh Uncle and his wife, the three brothers of Su Jun and Zhao Yiyi's father, while the younger generations are sitting at another table.
"Brother Su Chen...brother."
Zhao Yiyi looked at Su Chen, and she felt embarrassed to say this title. By generation, she and Su Chen are of the same generation. She is three years older than Su Chen, so she should be called Su Chen as her younger brother.
But when I thought of the scene where the younger brother in front of me was a fool in the hospital, I was willing to accept it, thinking that the other party was not wrong, and she even felt that the other party should be older than her.
But now she knows that the person in front of her is only in her senior year at the start of next semester and is younger than herself, so she feels a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong with Sister Yiyi?"
Su Chen was very calm, just be sister, the other party is indeed more old than himself. Although he is a little stupid, it is because he has never seen the world.
"I hope you don't tell my grandfather about my affairs in the city. I'm afraid that my grandfather will worry about me again then."
Seeing Zhao Yiyi's worried eyes, Su Chen understood what Zhao Yiyi was thinking. She was afraid that she would tell Uncle Seven that Uncle Seven was in a bad mood because she was worried about her. If an old man at this age was in a bad mood, it would be over.
"I understand. After dinner, take me to your house to see."
"Ah... OK."
Although Zhao Yiyi didn't know why this younger brother wanted to see her, she thought that such a powerful boss Liu could only surrender in front of her younger brother, and those gangsters who suddenly fell to the ground, she knew that the younger brother in front of her was not just an ordinary college student like the uncles and uncles said.
The main table was naturally very slow to eat, but young people couldn't eat for so long. Soon Su Chen got full and found a reason to go to the village and walked out of the yard.
After a while, Zhao Yiyi also walked out of the yard, holding a key running with a red rope in her hand. This was the key to open her door. On weekdays, she hung the key around her father's neck so that her father could easily open it when he went home to sleep at night.
The door lock of Zhao Yiyi's house is a relatively old type. There are two iron rings on the door, and an iron pin with a hole in the middle, and an ordinary cowhide lock is locked on the hole of the iron pin.
This kind of lock is easy to open. Sometimes it can be used with iron wire, or even if it is more powerful, it can be opened directly. However, it is enough for Zhao Yiyi's family. There is nothing in their home worth thieves.
After unlocking the lock, Zhao Yiyi walked in first, but the door was not closed. Su Chen went in after a while, after walking around the village and walked back.
"Take me to your dad's room first."
The style of this kind of house is very simple. After entering the door, there are two small doors on the left and right. These are two houses. In front is a table, and behind the table is a wooden wall. On it is hung with images of leaders that were only hung in the 1990s and early 21st century, which is already a little yellowed.
There are two passages on both sides, the same size as the door, and are taken out from the wooden wall. Through these two passages is the back of the wooden wall, where is the kitchen, and the wing rooms on both sides are also open, with some debris inside.
Although the house is a bit dark and dilapidated, it is cleaned very clean and there are no bugs or anything like that. It is obvious that Zhao Yiyi has cleaned it after she came back.
Su Chen took a walk around Zhao Yiyi's house. Although Zhao Yiyi didn't know what Su Chen was going to do, she still kept her doubts and didn't ask.
"It was not an accident that your father would become like this, but someone did it on purpose."
After a while, Su Chen walked back to the lobby and said something that made Zhao Yiyi look pale.
Zhao Yiyi's face would be pale, not only because she heard that her father's illness was harmed, but more importantly, she thought of the person who harmed her father.
My father has no grievances and grudges with others in the village, and no one will harm his father. There is only one person, that is, his mother who wants to leave home.
Su Chen glanced at Zhao Yiyi. He knew that the truth might make Zhao Yiyi feel even more uncomfortable, but he couldn't comfort him, because he only knew that Zhao Yiyi's father's current situation was harmed, but he was not sure whether it was done by Zhao Yiyi's mother.
"Take your dad home, I think I can get your dad back to normal."
When Zhao Yiyi heard Su Chen's words, the expression on her face changed from pale to excitement. She did not doubt the authenticity of Su Chen's words. Even if her father was sick, many experts and professors were helpless.
"I'll bring my dad here now."
