After attending the haircut ceremony, Ling Xiao took some time to watch.
These are the relevant local chronicles that she has sent people to collect over the years.
With local chronicles, Ling Xiao can know when a famine occurs.
In the past, she had no data and could only guess, but now she has empirical evidence and can make inferences.
For this purpose, a form was made, and all the disasters recorded in the local chronicles were filled in on the form.
After filling in all the years and months in the local chronicle, the situation can be seen very clearly, which surprised Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao has never been to the Tao family's place. According to the memory of the original owner, there is a big river not far from the family's place.
It's not that far away, but the reason why the tribe's land was flooded was because the river's embankment finally collapsed after the river surged, causing the flood.
But what is very strange is that except for this flood, there is no flood in the famines that can be found in local chronicles.
Ling Xiao felt that he had read it wrong, or that the local chronicles were wrong, but there were records of hail, freezing rain, drought, and the so-called locust plague.
There is only no flood disaster, which seems a bit strange. Are the flood control measures so good these days? That is why there has never been a flood disaster in the Tao family land.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and felt something was wrong. You must know that ancient dams were usually made of stone, without any cement or reinforced concrete reinforcement, so the river water would often have the opportunity to break through the embankment.
But there has never been one, which makes Ling Xiao a little distrustful of the local records. There has not been a single flood in so many years, but other natural disasters have been recorded. Is there any problem in this? Is there really no flood?
Then a question arose in Ling Xiao's mind, why was the Tao family land always safe and sound? Ling Xiao then started to organize the information. She also had people prepare a set of local chronicles for the counties near the Tao family land, and just picked them out bit by bit.
Relevant information.
Considering that no one else needs to know about this matter yet, Ling Xiao personally did the whole thing. He read the local chronicles for several days, made each form, and then compiled all the forms one by one.
Fill it out and put it into a larger form.
After waiting for her to look at the corresponding places one by one, she found that several counties near the Tao family had experienced floods in the past few years. The only exception was the place where the Tao family was located. This result made Ling Xiao
Some are curious and want to dig deeper.
Could it be that the place where the Tao family lives is a geomantic treasure? This means that every time a flood comes, it is possible that disaster will turn into good luck. Is this kind of speculation possible? Ling Xiao is a little unconvinced. She does not believe that that place will be like this.
good.
If there is such a good place in Feng Shui, then other problems such as famine, drought, hail, etc. should be avoided. But there is no such thing. It has always existed. The so-called Feng Shui treasure land can be completely ruled out.
So what is the situation? Ling Xiao thought about it, no matter how he looked at it, there was some connection? Ling Xiao thought about it for a while and had a bad guess in his mind. It was very fucked up.
If the guess is true, then it means that the Tao family, no, there should be something wrong with the leader of this clan, which may lead to the flood this time.
At this moment, she was a little unsure whether the outbreak of this flood was purely a natural disaster? Or was it mixed with man-made disasters in addition to the original natural disasters?
After thinking for a long time, there was no answer, so Ling Xiao planned to ask other members of the Tao family. The original owner was too young as a Tao family member, so many people didn't know.
After thinking about it, Ling Xiao came to mind that the oldest member of the Tao family still escaped because he was away from the clan to see his daughter.
Tao San, a tribesman, quickly replied to Ling Xiao's letter. He missed the past very much, so he told Ling Xiao what he already knew.
In fact, Tao San was also reminiscing about the past during this period, and Ling Xiao's letter touched his heart.
In the early years, the Tao family was the descendant of a certain high-ranking official in the early years, and after many years of development and growth.
When the Tao family became prosperous, they settled in the south and had a history of hundreds of years in their clan area.
The Tao family was not affected by the accidents in the north.
Later, after Yiguan moved south, the Tao family still had a lot of influence.
The Tao family holds the position of a local emperor in the clan.
As a result, the officials there had to visit Tao's house after taking office.
Ling Xiao was a little stunned when he saw this. It felt like visiting a pier.
Officials would naturally favor the Tao family in their daily lives, and Ling Xiao felt helpless about this.
This situation will cause people in the Tao family to have a somewhat inflated mentality, thinking that I am the best in the world.
The previous speculation has the possibility of coming true. Once it is discovered that there is a possibility of flooding, measures can be taken.
The operation is very selective. For example, you can make a hole in another place to release floods.
If you operate like this, you will definitely protect the Tao family's territory. Is this the idea? Ling Xiao murmured this idea in his heart.
If this is really the case, it can be considered that we understand the confidence of the Tao family. We thought that the Tao family was still at its peak, but in fact, the Tao family had begun to decline.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao felt his head hurt. If this was really the case, the Tao family was bullying others, and at some point, the Tao family deserved their death.
But Ling Xiao feels that if there is a flood discharge, people who may live in the flood discharge area should be notified in advance and asked to leave the danger zone early. This is what should be done.
After Ling Xiao read Tao San's letter, she found that this person's letter only mentioned the glorious past of the Tao family and did not talk about the questions Ling Xiao asked. He just said that he also wanted to ask about the situation, so she would wait.
the other party’s reply.
After waiting for another half month, Ling Xiao felt a little anxious. What was going on? Was this flood disaster a natural disaster? Or had the Tao family received so-called retribution?
A month later, a heavy package arrived. After receiving it, Ling Xiao took a closer look and realized that the Tao family had discovered a problem not long after they moved to the clan area.
Because as long as the Tao family's land is mainly used for agriculture, water is a very important resource. If there is no water, how can we farm? There will be no food to eat.
The Tao family found that it was good or bad to live close to water. The good thing was that they could grow crops when there was water, but the bad thing was that there would be floods.
After some thought, the Tao family made a rule. Every winter, the Tao family would pay a large sum of money to hire someone to repair the river embankment next to the property.
This incident continued, and eventually the Tao family was not troubled by floods for a long time. Ling Xiao was very surprised when he saw it.
In addition to the letter, there was also a ledger. Ling Xiao opened it and saw that it was filled with money spent every winter.
Then Ling Xiao overturned the original guess. There was nothing to blame the Tao family for the flood.
Those who died in the flood died very grievously. The Tao family thought that there was absolutely no problem with the dam.
They probably feel the same as they have for hundreds of years and have no intention of leaving.
I never thought that floods would one day submerge my home.
They must have thought that nothing was wrong with the Jedi and that they would be fine.
After Ling Xiao thought about it clearly, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Now she feels that there is something big wrong with the flood.
Among natural disasters there are also man-made disasters. The Tao family's dam has been repaired over the years.
It can be said that it has been well renovated, but has it turned into dregs in the past few years?
It's unlikely, because the Tao family built it for their own home, so the possibility of a shoddy project is low.
Then it is very likely that someone took advantage of the weather to implement a plan and wanted to destroy the entire Tao family.
If someone really did this, it would be very vicious, and it would destroy the entire Tao family, leaving only a few people alive.
There are bad people in the Tao family who died, but there is definitely no shortage of innocent people. Just because their surname is Tao, do they have to be buried with them?
Some people may think that different people have different feelings, and from the standpoint of the original owner, he absolutely does not agree with this idea.
Ling Xiao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside. She saw that the sky outside was very blue, and everything seemed like nothing had happened.
After thinking for a while, she thought: What would the original owner think if he were here? He should probably want to ask what was going on? The deceased must understand clearly.
Maybe the original owner didn't care about other Tao family members, but he naturally wanted to know who did it for his parents' death. If it was just a natural disaster, it would be more or less acceptable.
But if someone intervened and caused so many people to die, that would be another matter. But the question now is who to find out about the situation? Ling Xiao doesn't know how to find it now.
The known situation is unknown. In addition, if someone digs a river channel to release floods this time, it is necessary to save more lives, then it is understandable, and people can be evacuated early before taking action.
Then it is very likely that someone sent someone to do it privately, and there will be no clues. What a pity! Ling Xiao felt that if he had guessed this situation earlier, he could also go to the place where the breach was to see if he could find it.
What clues come out?
But it is too late to guess now. Several years have passed and it is already too late to look for it. All traces have probably disappeared completely. After all, some clues still need to be timed.
That river channel should have been repaired after the flood. Maybe go there and ask now, maybe there might be some clues. At this moment, Ling Xiao was thinking about how to investigate the matter.
In addition, she still had some doubts in her mind, would the gangster commit another crime again? Ling Xiao thought of this very important question because it was not safe.
At this moment, she was unable to determine what the other party would do. Maybe he would commit another crime, maybe not. The other party's thoughts were temporarily undeterminable.
This is because there is too little information about the other party, so many things are unknown, and it is impossible to judge this person's situation and thoughts.
The original owner's life was really difficult. Maybe she didn't know anything, so she could still live her life.
But there are too many things hidden behind the life of her and her brother, and it seems that the peaceful life is not easy.
Who knows if the possible mastermind behind the scenes will let the three siblings go? What if they want to kill them all?
Will they live well without any defense at all? They are not afraid of thieves, but they are worried about them.
In addition, will the person who plotted against the original owner’s step-grandmother also take action?
And is there any connection between the two? This is very troublesome.
Could these two attacks be two kinds of revenge carried out by one person?
Or are they each doing their own thing? Are they all targeting the Tao family?
All of these situations are possible.
So who is the person you really want to deal with? Is he dead?
Will the rest of the Tao family receive successive revenge?
Ling Xiao was somewhat vigilant about this, but still had to be careful.
If Ling Xiao's guess was correct, someone had planned the death of the Tao family this time.
This may be someone who has some grudge against the Tao family, or it may be someone else.
Maybe people who have offended the Tao family want to take the opportunity to retaliate, or they want the Tao family to be wiped out.
However, the Tao family did not know about the conspiracy and were used to think inertia. As a result, few of the entire Tao family survived.
After Ling Xiao thought about it clearly, he went to move his body. He wanted to bring up his own personal strength, as well as other people's safety issues.
Fortunately, Xia's mother is very qualified, and the most important places are Ling Xiao's own people, so safety issues can still be ensured.
But Ling Xiao still felt that she didn't have enough manpower, so she began to identify those people who had external intentions, and tried her best to get rid of such people.
She has no patience for psychological warfare. Some people are just on the opposite side. She doesn't need to do any ideological work. She can just tell them to get out of her territory.
During this period of time, someone wanted to take over the Tao family. Thanks to the help of the Eighteenth Niang, the Eighteenth Niang would often come to Ling Xiao these days, and the Eighteen Niang's unique aesthetics had changed.
This made the eldest princess very happy, so she specially said hello to others to prevent anyone from making trouble. Some people did not dare to make trouble again, so they stopped.
As a result, Ling Xiao gradually developed more genuine feelings for Shiba Niang. She had long discovered that Shiba Niang was not really stupid, but was just a protective color for her.
People must learn to protect themselves when they are alive. Ling Xiao later learned about the whole incident about Eighteen Niang, and she was also one of the unlucky ones.
Her biological father is a relatively weak person, and the eldest princess often favors this frail son.
But in the end one winter, the husband and wife died one after another, and the eldest princess had to protect her granddaughter and grandson.
Granddaughter Shiba Niang's health is not bad, but her grandson's health is very poor and he gets sick every now and then.
The eldest princess had neglected her granddaughter's education for a while, and waited until she had time to take care of her.
I found that the aesthetics of Shiba Niang are quite different, and they are fundamentally different from those of ordinary people.
It was already too late for the eldest princess to reverse the situation, so she naturally wanted to ask for the reason.
It was later found out that she had some relationship with her second son's wife.
The main reason is that she is jealous of the Eighteen Niang siblings for occupying the eldest princess's mind.
Her children and grandchildren did not receive the love of the eldest princess, so the second daughter-in-law took action.
After this incident came out, the eldest princess was furious, but the second son begged his mother not to get angry.
Because if what her wife did was revealed, the entire family would be humiliated.
In the end, the woman was sent to a nunnery for training. After that, the eldest princess directly divided the families between her sons.
When they separated, she felt a little sad and said: "I know some of you have always felt that I am partial to San'er Kang'er."
"But ask yourselves, have I ever treated you badly in the general direction? Have I ever been harsh when you were getting married one by one?"
