The carriage in Chi Shi was not obvious on the outside but was extremely gorgeous inside. It was already autumn and quite cold. When he left the palace, Zhou Xian specially gave her a wool blanket from Fanbang, for fear that she would fall asleep in the car after she hangover.

The old man Gao stood at the entrance of the carriage, looked at his ragged straw sandals awkwardly, and hesitated not to get in the car.

"Nine...Jiu Master..."

Chi Shi raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand at him, "Why is it funny that I made it like I made a fortune in the capital? Isn't I wearing gold and silver when I was in Youhai? Is the carriage more luxurious than this?"

"Is it possible? Do you want to ask you to sit on a donkey?"

Old Man Gao was shocked and jumped into the car like a monkey, dragging his wife up. He sat in the carriage a little crampedly, with only half of his butt sitting, "That's a magic donkey. The old man dared not sit. If he sat, he would have to lose his life."

Who doesn’t know about Youhai? It’s a magic donkey that can find corpses. If you sit down today, who knows whether it will run to your ancestral grave tomorrow and dig out all your ancestors!

When the carriage moved, Chi Shi glanced at Old Man Gao and looked at the old woman beside him, "You can't come from Youhai in straw sandals. Dongshan is quite close to Youhai County. Although our Yongzhou is saying that poor mountains and bad waters are coming out of troublemakers, it is not like you even go out like this."

Although the people are not rich, as long as the family is diligent and wears cloth shoes with a thousand-layer sole, there is definitely no problem.

What's more, it's the city that is far away from home.

People are all good-looking. In this case, if there is no new clothes at home, if you wear the shroud in advance, you will have to go out with a bright and beautiful look. How could Old Man Gao wear straw sandals?

The old woman shrank her feet back and looked at Old Man Gao.

Old Man Gao sighed and tears surged up again, "Jiu Master is very clear. I have given birth to three sons in total, and Xinming is my youngest son. Our family is not well-off. When the eldest and second brother got married, they emptied the family."

"At that moment, my unscrupulous old woman got a fever and was about to die. I really had no choice at that time. She married me for so many years and suffered so much that she could not save her. "

"There is a distant second brother in my clan named Gao Changyuan. He came to the capital to do business in his early years. He had no children at home and wanted to adopt one from the clan. I gritted my teeth and adopted Xinmin to him as his son. His departure lasted for ten years..."

"Xinmin resents us. He has never contacted us for so many years. However, my second brother is a kind and righteous person. Although he doesn't contact us very much, when Xinmin got married and had children, he quietly wrote to us."

"It is said that he married a wife and the family runs a shop named Luo Qiugui. Qiugui gave birth to three children. The eldest daughter is Gao Lingling, who is seven years old this year, and the second daughter is Gao Mimi, who is six years old. The younger one is a son named Gao Wen, who is three years old this year."

Old Man Gao spoke smoothly. Seeing the old woman beside him wiping her tears, she stretched out her rough big hand, and patted the back of her hand, "Although my old wife saved her life back then, she was so hot that she couldn't speak anymore, she could hear it."

"Gao Changyuan fell seriously ill three years ago and died. The couple had a deep relationship. Not long after, my second sister-in-law also went there. It was this year that Xinmin contacted us again."

"After receiving his letter, we came over. The family was about to harvest autumn, and my two sons couldn't leave, so we asked my little daughter to come with her. It was also selfish. My little daughter was named Gao Xinxue. She was an old girl. When she was a child, Xinmin took her the most."

"We thought that even though we were adopted, we were not so shameless to come back. But it would be great if we could walk around as relatives and give us some news from time to time."

"Xinmin had a knot in his heart. He asked us to bring Xinxue, and we brought it."

Chi Shi frowned and pointed at his shoes, "You haven't talked about this shoes yet."

Old man Gao blushed and looked at Chi Shi with a little embarrassed look, "When I came, I was wearing a pair of new shoes, but when I woke up in the morning, not only my shoes, but my new clothes were gone."

"We were frightened in the morning, so I just found a pair of straw sandals at the corner of his house, and ran out in it."

"Yeah," Chi Shi said softly, "What does Gao Xinmin make a living in the capital? Why did he suddenly say that he is well-off?"

Old Man Gao shook his head, "I don't know this. Xinmin didn't say it in detail to us. I didn't dare to ask."

While speaking, the carriage stopped and came out of the city gate near the coffin shop. It was not far from Shangtang Village. Chi Shi estimated in his mind that he jumped off the carriage first.

What caught my eye was a row of tiled houses. At about noon, smoke from cooking fires had already emerged from the chimneys of many people.

The door of the Gao family was closed tightly. On the threshold, there was a girl wearing a blue flower skirt and braided hair. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and sat there with her knees in her eyes, her eyes full of confusion.

Around her, there were several people from the village, pointing fingers, but no one stepped forward.

Seeing that the pond was dressed in luxury and came in a carriage, the villagers became even more curious. A woman in the middle of a maroon and white flowers came over and said with a smile, "Do you come to this village to Tujia cuisine? The Tujia cuisine in my house is delicious! Everyone in the village knows it."

Chi Shi raised his hand and pointed to the Gao family's door, "Does Gao Changyuan's family also sell Tujia cuisine?"

When the woman heard this, she immediately stopped smiling and spat, "I look at the young master who is a talented person. Don't be deceived by the person named Gao. There is no Tujia food in his family. The woman is too lazy to die and only cares about applying makeup all day long..."

"Where can she cook Tujia cuisine? She just treats herself as a pot dish!"

When the neighbors around him heard this, they all laughed.

Chi Shi glanced at Gao Xinxue sitting at the door. It was strange that the people in the village still didn't know that the Gao family had been wiped out.

The woman seemed to have hit a joke and started to wink at everyone. Seeing a man standing in the crowd, she immediately became excited, "Hehe, Luo Dashu, don't leave! The young man asked the wife of the Gao family what kind of dishes they had. We can't answer, why don't you tell me?"

When the village man named Luo Dashu heard this, he raised the thick head in his hand, "You woman, you gossip, and you are not afraid of your tongue rotting."

He said, turning around and leaving angrily.

The woman was scolded by him, spitted, and turned around and walked towards the yard on the left side of the Gao family.

Chi Shi looked, withdrew his gaze and walked to Gao Xinxue, "After the incident, you have been here, have you never left? But have anyone else been in?"

Gao Xinxue shook her head, and she looked at Chi Shi in surprise:

"My father asked me to stay here. They went to report to the officials. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move a little, so I sat at the door and waited. I kept sitting here and didn't see anyone in."
