No way? Wang Shouzhe's heart skipped a beat. It was a bit confusing to travel without a golden finger. Then, Wang Shouzhe tried again and again, but there was no trace of the golden finger.
His heart is getting colder and colder. There are so many masters in this fantasy world, and ferocious beasts are rampant. How can you play without a golden finger?
"It seems that we can only take one step at a time." Wang Shouzhe's expression was a little solemn, but he soon felt relieved. Even without the golden finger, he still had some advantages.
At least after merging his memories, he found that although there are many experts in this world, they are not as good as the people on earth in terms of people's livelihood development and advanced thinking, even if he is just an office worker who graduated from an ordinary university...
Just when Wang Shouzhe was about to summarize his advantages.
Suddenly, Wang Gui, a young man from outside, rushed in in a panic: "Master, master, something bad has happened. The sixth master was beaten. He sent someone back to ask for help."
Sixth Master?
Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly as memories came back to him: "It's the sixth uncle Wang Dinghai."
Wang Dinghai is Wang Shouzhe's clan uncle, ranking sixth in the male generation. He has ordinary qualifications and average cultivation, but is good at water skills, so he is in charge of the fishing fleet, one of the family's industries.
Now that Wang Dinghai is being beaten, it should be because something has changed in the clan's fishing fleet, and it's a good opportunity to observe the world with his own eyes.
"Calm down, how can you be so flustered?" Wang Shouzhe thought about this and calmed down. After scolding him, he calmly said, "Prepare the carriage, let's go take a look."
"Yes, head of the family." Wang Gui responded hurriedly and ran away to prepare for the trip.
Wang Shouzhe walked out of the room according to his memory and walked slowly towards the main door of the main house. He observed the various building facilities and structures of the main house along the way and confirmed them one by one with the memories in his mind.
On the way, I happened to see my aunt Gongsun Hui leading several family generals with a solemn face and hurried towards the main gate.
Wang Shouzhe saluted Gongsun Hui: "I've met my aunt."
Wang Shouzhe, whose memory has been fused, already knows that he lost his mother when he was young, and that Gongsun Hui was the first wife of his late father, Wang Dingyue, and they had a legitimate daughter named Wang Luomiao, who is eight years old this year.
Therefore, although Gongsun Hui was Wang Shouzhe's aunt, she was not his biological mother. However, she had a kind and kind nature and always regarded Wang Shouzhe as her own child and took good care of him in all aspects.
This is quite different from the formula of ordinary fantasy novels.
As soon as Gongsun Hui saw Wang Shouzhe, he stepped forward and took his hand, with a look of concern on his face: "Zheer, why are you out? Have you had a meal? Are you feeling better?"
The other generals also hurriedly bowed their hands to Wang Shouzhe.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I've finished the spiritual meal you ordered me to prepare. I'll talk to you later in detail." Wang Shouzhe quietly broke away from her hand and said with a solemn expression, "Auntie led the general.
Could it be that you are going to support Uncle Six? I will go with my aunt."
Gongsun Hui's face darkened, and after a slight hesitation he said: "Zhe'er, since you have inherited the position of clan leader, you will face these things sooner or later. Since you are in good health, let's go and have a look together."
"Yes, ma'am."
The two of them walked out of the main entrance of the main house together. On the plaque at the main entrance were written the words "Ping'an Wang Family" with flying phoenixes. The momentum was extraordinary.
Coupled with the mottled painted pillars and the white lanterns with the word "Dian" written on them floating in the wind, it highlights the desolation of the Wang family's decline.
"Master, Madam Gongsun, the carriage is ready." Wang Gui, the personal servant, trotted over, "The sword and bow and arrow have been placed on the carriage."
After a brief discussion, Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui rode in a carriage together, and the other four generals rode yellow geldings to guard the left and right, and headed all the way to Dingpu Ferry in Anjiang.
On the way, Gongsun Hui will describe the causes and consequences one by one.
Wang Shouzhe, who was thinking about past and present life, quickly figured out the actual situation. Anjiang is a large river with a width of several hundred feet. The river has rich and unique aquatic products, and the fishing fleet can generate long-term economic benefits.
But where there are interests, there are often conflicts. Naturally, none of the three major families in Ping'an Town is willing to give up this piece of fat. After various battles and compromises, now the three major families in Ping'an have defined their own territories and do not cross each other's boundaries.
This Anjiang River stretches thirty miles from the right of Dingpu Ferry to the rocky beach, which is the water area of the Ping'an Wang family.
It's just that in recent years, the other two aristocratic families have continued to emerge in large numbers and their appetites have grown. However, given the limited overall territory, it is naturally easy to stick their chopsticks into other people's pots.
The cannibalization plan has been going on for a long time, and the family's territory and industry are shrinking year after year. The smaller the territory, the more scarce the resources will be, and it will be more difficult for the clan members to grow without resources, and they will fall into a vicious cycle.
What makes the situation even worse is that the ancestor of the Wang family, Dinghai Shen Zhenlongyan, seems to be getting worse every year. He has been in seclusion for the past few years. Even when such a big thing happened at home, he did not show up.
The outside world will inevitably speculate on whether she can still fight.
The situation is not optimistic, Wang Shouzhe frowned.
It is said that the main residence of the Wang family is built close to the mountains and rivers. It is only more than ten miles away from Dingpu Ferry. The roadbed is hard and maintained all year round. There are also outposts who will open the way. The road is smooth, and the carriage arrives in less than half an hour.
When Ping'an Town was first built, this ferry was already one of the outposts of Changning Guard. After more than a hundred years of development of Ping'an Town, Dingpu Ferry has become an important transportation thoroughfare connecting the north and the south.
Ping An Sanshijia has infrastructure such as docks, ferries, shops, etc. here.
There are some simple defense facilities at the ferry. The city walls are quite simple, only five or six meters high, and can only withstand the impact of small-scale ferocious beasts.
After Wang Shouzhe and his party entered the ferry, they headed straight for the deep-water pier. Under the long wooden structure trestle, there stood giant wooden pillars with arms surrounding each other. They lifted the trestle all the way to a depth of three to four feet. The deep water area
There are two more horizontal trestles, forming berths.
There are ships of different sizes docked at the berth, including ferries, merchant ships, and fishing boats.
Looking from a distance, I saw two groups of people confronting each other at the end of the trestle. Both sides were holding sticks, knives and forks, and their emotions were very violent.
"Wang Laoliu, you are so courageous. You dare to bring people to block your Yongzhou master. Do you think he didn't beat you hard enough?" A young man's joking and mocking voice sounded.
"You little brat of the Liu family." Another man roared with excitement and anger, "Aren't you just sneaking into the water for a sneak attack? If so, let's just rely on our own abilities and go into the water to fight with real swords and guns.
You, the sixth master of the Wang family, teach you, a bastard, how to behave."
"Wang Laoliu, don't blame me for looking down on you. You are a dog at your age and you don't have any brains." The young man sneered, "Underwater ambush is one of the tactics of war. Is it possible to fight?
Do we have to declare in advance that we are not allowed to use tactics? Haha, the more we live, the sooner we go back. Why not get out of Ping An Town as soon as possible to avoid wasting food."
A group of young people burst into laughter and followed the young people in hooting, get out of Ping An Town, get out of Ping An Town.
The Dingpu Ferry was crowded with people, and there were many passing tourists doing business. At this time, everyone had gathered around to watch the excitement, and there were constant discussions.
Today's conflict will inevitably spread to other places by word of mouth, following their footsteps and tongues. The Ping'an Wang family, as the loser in this conflict, will also become a laughing stock and a topic of conversation after dinner, which will undermine the power of the Wang family.
"You little brat from the Liu family." The man's face turned red and he was extremely angry. "You've gone too far to bully others. Your sixth master will fight with you!"
"Old dog of the Wang family, come here if you have the guts!"
The two sides were engaged in a fight with each other, just as strings and threads were about to collapse.
"Stop!" Seeing the urgency of the situation, Gongsun Hui hurriedly walked to the middle of the confrontation to stop him, "Wang Dinghai, Liu Yongzhou, please calm down first and talk to us if you have anything to say."
Wang Shouzhe was afraid that his aunt would suffer a loss, so he waved his hand, and four generals from the Wang family rushed forward to protect Gongsun Hui. He followed closely behind and continued to observe everything coldly.
On-site observation and memory told him that the young man who looked a little careless and dressed in a close-fitting water bag with a short blade hanging from his waist was called Liu Yongzhou, a member of the Liu family.
Rumor has it that this man is good at water fighting, especially water escape. He once dived with a short blade to hunt and kill a first-order ferocious beast, the red-scaled eel, which weighed more than two hundred kilograms. He became famous at the age of twenty-three or four, and was Ping'an Liu.
Shi Qianliju.
The other man was lean and dark-skinned, and he looked like a man who had been living on the water for a long time. However, his head and arms were stained, and he looked a little embarrassed with some linen wrapped around him.
That was Wang Shouzhe's clan uncle, Wang Dinghai, who was specifically responsible for the family's fishing operations in the waters of his influence. He was also very good at water warfare, fishing and hunting, and was also the main catcher of the red-tailed catfish that Wang Shouzhe ate earlier.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mrs. Gongsun of the Wang family." The young man named Liu Yongzhou casually handed over his hands with a smile. Then he mocked Wang Dinghai disdainfully, "Wang Laoliu, you and I, a junior, had some conflicts, and you actually moved out.
The clan sister-in-law came to support me. Yongzhou admires me and feels ashamed."
"You..." Wang Dinghai's dark face turned dark red.
