Jiang Jinshi folded the portrait and put it close to his body to avoid recognizing the wrong person later.

"Since that's the case, then I'll go first."

After saying this, Jiang Jinshi went down the mountain in a hurry, and suddenly patted his head when he reached the foot of the mountain.

"Finished! Forgot to ask Tang Lin if he wanted dead or alive!"

Then he thought, as long as the great revenge could be avenged, does it matter if it's dead or alive?

He had been out for a few days, fearing his family would worry, so he still had to go back.

At first, he had thought about bringing his family to the stronghold, but the Yangguang Stronghold hadn't really stood firm yet. If this matter wasn't handled well, the Yangguang Stronghold would instead be deeply implicated.

The simplest thing was, once your Yangguang Stronghold chose a side, would the remaining families watch indifferently?

Previously, five forces corresponded to five strongholds. Now, counting it all up, there were only four. The remaining one would never sit idly by and watch themselves be excluded.

But if another stronghold was supported, these four forces wouldn't allow it. It was hard to drive one out, and you want to come back in?

Dream on!

Jiang Jinshi had just left when Luo Feng was immediately surrounded by several people.

"How is it? Do you feel anything?"

"Do you feel especially hungry? Can you eat a pig!"

Luo Feng shook his head, an indescribable feeling spreading throughout his body, just like...

Reborn!

Luo Feng, born on the border, had been urged by his father to practice the knife since he was a child. Although they were all simple knife techniques used by soldiers, some movements had been engraved in his body after practicing for many years.

But at this moment, he held the knife in his hand, and his ideas and thoughts for moves were completely different from the past. He couldn't wait to find someone to practice with.

Coincidentally, Zhang Honghong wanted to try the power bestowed by the "God of Sunshine" in Jiang Jinshi's mouth, so the two hit it off and set up a posture outside the main hall.

Zhang Honghong hadn't learned any moves, just using brute force to do it, focusing on the miracle of great strength!

Although the few people watching the battle were laymen, they could still distinguish the difference between good and bad.

It is said that once an expert makes a move, you know if it's there. Compared with before, Luo Feng's moves and body techniques were not at the same level at all.

The fight with Zhang Honghong not only appeared to be at ease, but he even wanted to give the other party a few pointers.

In the end, the words of pointers were swallowed back into his stomach, fearing that everyone would think he was too showy.

At this moment, this scene made the few people full of longing for the "divine power" Jiang Jinshi spoke of, and they looked at Luo Feng with undisguised envy.

Yesterday everyone was at the same level, but today the teammate had jumped up. It would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

But this was just envy, after all, as long as they were loyal to the Yangguang Stronghold, they would eventually obtain "divine power".

Luo Feng spun the large knife in his hand, always feeling something was strange. If he had to describe it, it was probably that the knife...

Was a bit awkward!

Jiang Jinshi walked along the official road toward Jiang City. To prevent anyone with blind eyes on the road, he specifically took a firewood knife and tucked it at his waist.

It was mainly because holding the Ghost Head Knife was too eye-catching, and he was afraid of scaring passersby, so he simply left it in the stronghold.

By the time he reached Da Jiang Cun, it was near dusk. What was strange was that he didn't see any villagers at the entrance of the village, not even Granny Li with the big loudspeaker.

Jiang Jinshi didn't think too much and went straight to his door, feeling a bit incredible for a time.

His house was still the same house, but the fence he had taken to burn for firewood at the entrance of the small courtyard had been re-erected, and it was even neater and better-looking than before. There were also obvious traces of repairs on the eaves and walls.

He wasn't at home, so who did these things?

His mother's legs had just recovered, Little Pear would definitely not let her do these things, and Little Pear herself wouldn't do them either.

Then that left Li Xinyue. Unexpectedly, this girl was so diligent.

Jiang Jinshi thought secretly, tomorrow he would take Li Xinyue into the city to buy some cloth to make clothes, and buy some jewelry to give her, just as a reward for her hard work during this period.

Inside the house, Jiang Li was cooking, and suddenly heard the door being opened, shouting happily: "Sister-in-law, are you back? Did you win the scolding?"

Turning his head to see it was Jiang Jinshi, the two stared at each other. Jiang Li pouted and turned his head: "Oh! You're back!"

Jiang Jinshi didn't care about Jiang Li's attitude toward him; he was already used to it, just curious about what Jiang Li said.

"Where did your sister-in-law go? And what does winning the scolding mean?"

Jiang Li raised his head and thought. There were a lot of things that happened during this period, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only answer Jiang Jinshi's question first.

"Sister-in-law went to her grandfather's place, and brought a lot of people to scold together."

This made Jiang Jinshi even more confused, asking with a face full of doubt: "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

Jiang Li's small face wrinkled into a ball, and only after a moment did he finally sort out his thoughts.

"It's just that sister-in-law dug up wild ginseng on the mountain and took it to the city to sell for money. This matter was known by the people in the village, so Uncle Li Changjiu's family came to ask for money."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li's small face was excited and red. When digging the wild ginseng, he and his sister-in-law went up the mountain together, but he walked in front and didn't find the wild ginseng, instead, it was discovered by his sister-in-law who walked behind.

This must also be a gift from heaven to his sister-in-law, because that wild ginseng didn't even have mud on it, just like it fell from the sky.

It was just a pity that the medicine shop owner in the city didn't know the goods at all, saying that the medicinal properties and age were too different, and could only give half the price.

Jiang Jinshi discovered Jiang Li's expression and asked curiously: "Why don't you seem worried about your sister-in-law at all?"

Jiang Li put his hands on his hips: "Sister-in-law brought a lot of uncles and aunts to go together, so she won't suffer."

At the same time, he added secretly in his heart, sister-in-law is a person favored by heaven, even wild boars can't hurt her, what can happen in the village?

At this moment, Jiang Jinshi had too many doubts in his heart. Little Jiang Mountain couldn't be considered very big, and he had never heard of anyone digging up wild ginseng for so many years.

And Li Xinyue didn't like to talk on weekdays, how could she let the villagers stand up for her?

It is said that it is difficult for an honest official to judge housework, and most people wouldn't choose to intervene when facing other people's housework, but what Jiang Li said now didn't look like a lie.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jinshi decided to go and see the situation, so as not to let Li Xinyue be bullied.

Watching Jiang Jinshi go out without saying a word, Jiang Li couldn't be bothered to pay attention, just silently put two more handfuls of rice into the pot.

The entrance to Li Changjiu's house was crowded with people, and one could vaguely hear the arguing sound coming from it.

"Zhaodi was raised by us. Now that she has made money, is there any problem with her being filial to us?"

"Bah! You shameless thing, how could Da Jiang Cun produce such a thing as your family? It's a pity that I still have the same surname as you. It's embarrassing to say it out." Granny Li was firing on all cylinders, her left hand on her hip and her right index finger pointing at Li Changjiu's head.
