Aunt Fang shook her head, with a hint of ridicule in her emotion.
"In the past, I heard people say that when people get older, they will always think of the past. It's hard for you, a kid, to listen to the nagging of an old woman like me."
Lin Mengya smiled and put her chin on Aunt Fang's shoulder.
"Aunt Fang is not old at all. I think if I can stay in your condition for another twenty years, then I will be satisfied."
After saying that, she sighed in a pretentious manner, "Well, I have to worry about my life. People say that people who worry age quickly. I'm afraid that in another ten years, I will have wrinkles all over my face and all my teeth will fall out."
My words are leaking, and I can’t even walk in a straight line.”
She deliberately pursed her lips to act like a toothless old lady.
Aunt Fang nodded her forehead happily, and the sadness in her heart floated away with her laughter.
Lin Mengya couldn't help it and laughed with Aunt Fang.
She has never been one to dwell on the past.
Don't dwell on the past, the most important thing is to cherish the present.
Due to the craze of clan meetings, all the inns in Yuehu City are already overcrowded.
This is a very realistic world.
Those with money and power can swagger around Yuehu City to eat, drink, and even have some special pastimes.
But for those families that have completely declined, or are just unlucky, the dependent families only want money and people, and don't care about the lives of their vassals.
Or the kind of family that has more than enough ambition but not enough strength, and is still struggling to support itself amidst the gazes of those big families, can only set up a rather shabby tent outside Yuehu City and endure the ridicule of passers-by.
.
They always come full of hope, but leave unsurprisingly disappointed.
They always feel that their hard work in the past year will definitely be rewarded with more and better rewards, but little do they know that they are just hard-working worker bees, constantly and blindly supporting those quasi-king bees who can make further progress at any time.
And once a family can stand out, the small families who support them will not receive the benefits of one person achieving enlightenment, chickens, dogs, and ascension to heaven.
They will exploit them deeper and plunder all the resources of those small families until they are drained into worthless dregs.
By then, the useless small family will no longer be able to support the huge ambitions and selfish desires of those people.
But those small families don't know that they will not be thrown away casually after being drained of their value.
They will continue to become the blood-sucking target of the big family in another form.
This is real bone-breaking and marrow-sucking, with not even a little residue left. Those big families understand the beauty of making the best use of things, so they will leave no room for control and enslave the smaller families that automatically come to them.
As for those small families that are still struggling to remain neutral, they will become the targets of their attacks.
Once this group of hyenas needs more fresh blood and flesh to nourish them, they will swarm in, fabricate various crimes, and carve up those "disobedient" families.
Over the years, there have been many small families that have been persecuted overtly and covertly by them, causing their families to be destroyed.
Perhaps in their view, those small family members are so insignificant that they are not worth mentioning at all.
But if there are too many ants, they will kill the elephant.
Freedom is a characteristic deeply embedded in human DNA.
If it were not for the yearning for self-existence, human beings would not break through the limitations of nature and human beings again and again, and challenge the unknown one after another.
What they call "domestication" is just to transform various conditions into shackles and long whips, trying to make those people forget their nature of freedom and become slaves without dignity.
In the long-term oppression, there is already an unyielding fire burning.
They gather together little by little, and in the end, they will surely become a giant flame that will set off a prairie fire and burn the entire ancient tribe to death.
On a hillside outside the city.
This place is nicknamed "Golden Slope" by people in the city, but the people staying here are ancient tribesmen who cannot afford expensive accommodation and have no place to stay in Yuehu City.
This is not the first time for most of them here.
Various tents are set up, and when it's meal time, the aroma of food from each family will waft out.
Compared to Yuehu City, where every inch of land is precious, there is more of a human atmosphere here.
And at the top of Golden Slope, stationed here this time are a few very vague-looking ancient tribesmen.
Of course it's not that they don't look good, it's that they either have big beards or pockmarks on their faces.
And they often hide in the tent. Even when cooking, a very beautiful woman is doing the work by herself.
There were kind-hearted neighbors who wanted to help, but the woman politely refused every time.
Today, she cooked another large pot of cornmeal batter, added a few steamed buns that were reheated until they were dry and cracked, and added a large amount of soup made from wild vegetables and salt.
Not to mention the two staple foods in the front, the color of the large pot of vegetable soup in the back is just amazing.
Very weird.
After the woman hurriedly finished it, she covered it with a dirty rag and carried it back to the tent together.
Although their tents don't look very impressive, they are very sturdy.
As soon as the woman came in, she saw her companions inside, gathering around the table to eat the food and wine they had packed and brought back from the city.
At that moment, the thing in her hand was placed directly at the door, and she rushed over with shining eyes.
"You didn't even call me when there was something delicious to eat. Your conscience is really bad!"
When the woman spoke, her voice was slightly neutral and deep.
Unfortunately, when her companions saw her coming, apart from silently isolating her, they only complained.
"Isn't it because the food you cook is too unpalatable? If we continue to eat, I guess we will starve to death without anyone else chasing us!"
Obviously, this man's complaint aroused the approval of other companions.
The woman looked at them a little aggrievedly and complained in a low voice.
"If it weren't for you guys, I would have sneaked in to find my wife!"
"Bah, you have hindered my romance with my wife, and you still want me to cook delicious food for you? Delusion!"
The woman's eyes widened, and she was not weak at all.
And "she" is not a woman, but Li Wushuang, who dresses in women's clothing!
The story probably begins when Bai Su was worried about Lin Mengya, so he left him at Li's house and sneaked out.
Before Li Ao returned to the Li family to report the news, Li Wushuang discovered that there were always people snooping around the Li family in those days.
After their relationship with the Gan family eased, the two families would send someone to the woods every day to exchange news.
After learning that the Gan family had also discovered this situation, Li Wushuang immediately decided to run away together with the family!
As big as he is, what he did this time was the most outrageous and the most resolute at the same time.
Fortunately, before Lin Mengya and the others left, they told the Li family and the Gan family to clean up their belongings as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
In such a situation, they can move quietly.
Until halfway, I met Li Ao who was looking for him anxiously.
There are quite a few people in these two families, and there are also many old, weak, women and children who need protection.
Therefore, they urgently contacted the branch of the Chamber of Commerce.
With the help of the other party, they moved most of the clan members to a safe area, and then the smart young people among them, regardless of gender, secretly went out to inquire for information.
It can be said , they knew very well what Lin Mengya did after that, but apart from being secretly worried about her, they couldn't do anything to help her.
Until news of the clan meeting came.
Originally, some elders of the two families still had unrealistic illusions.
They thought they could plead their case at the clan meeting and expose the crimes committed by those people, including the Presbyterian Church, who coerced them through coercion and inducement.
But these young people, headed by Li Ao, saw it quite clearly.
The ancient tribe has begun to decay from within.
The reason why the Presbyterian Church's behavior has become more and more arrogant in recent years is because of the connivance towards them within the ancient tribe.
So what if they tell everything in the clan meeting?
Didn't they collude in the end and annex the Li family and the Gan family before giving up?
But Li Ao and the others still came.
It's just that they didn't come in the name of the Li family and the Gan family, nor did they want to seek justice for themselves at the clan meeting.
They actually have another purpose.
"Okay, brother, please stop saying a few words."
Li Ao, who had a full beard on his face, had to speak out.
But the guys didn't really complain about Li Wushuang. Soon, Li Wushuang also came to the table and grabbed the delicious food on the table with his companions.
"Hey, that bowl is mine!"
"Fart! It's obviously mine!"
"Bah, bah, bah, I'm spitting on it, it's mine!"
"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"
Several neighboring old women outside heard the movement in their tent and couldn't help but shook their heads with regret.
What a bunch of poor kids!
They were so excited to grab something that even pigs wouldn't eat. Alas! The whole-grain steamed buns in their hands suddenly felt extremely sweet.
After eating, Li Wushuang followed the old rules and poured the food to the horses in the backyard.
Fortunately, although people don't like to eat those things, the horses are still very considerate of them and eat them very deliciously with their heads down.
Li Wushuang touched the horses' shiny manes with satisfaction. Oh, he actually gave them food. Look, they are all smooth and smooth after eating!
After washing the dishes and hands, he returned to the tent.
At this time, everyone was no longer as lively as they were fighting for food. Instead, they were standing or sitting, looking at Li Ao with serious faces.
Li Wushuang found a corner at the door, sat down, and skillfully took out the half-embroidered sachet he had embroidered. While carefully embroidering the pattern of parallel lotus flowers, he pricked his ears and listened to what was going on outside.
