Chapter 4 Platform (4)

Of course, the second senior brother Zhu Youquan was not dead. In the even more noisy way of killing people, Zhu Youquan, who was temporarily unconscious, made a sound and his limbs bounced up. Seeing that it was not as lively as the excitement, the onlookers who were not afraid of the troubles all showed disappointment.

Huo Chong swept over the onlookers who stretched his neck to watch the fun, and his eyes fell on his master Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu looked full of grief and ordered to his sons around him: "Please him up! Help him up!"

Zhu Youquan was a bachelor, and he struggled to get up, pushing everyone away without looking back. Looking at Zhu Youquan's back, Huo Chong understood that he had formed a grudge with this guy.

Uncle Liu has four sons, the third one of them brought a chair. Uncle Liu, who was shaking and leaning against his son's support, sat down, gasped for a while, and said, "My fellow villagers, Zhu Youquan is not good at fighting and punching his brothers. I'm right that he can't take my position! Huo Chong, a child, will be my eldest disciple from now on. I'll leave everything to him."

Everyone whispered, but no one agreed with this. Uncle Liu ordered to his sons: "Go and get the account book and rank the ancestors incense!"

The matter was done very quickly. Uncle Liu's son came out with a plate that put the account book. Everyone in the yard stretched their necks to look at it. Huo Chong felt that something was wrong, and the big one was wrong. The eldest disciple died in the hands of the trough helper, and the second disciple fought with his junior brother in public. The master did not quickly rectify the internal department, but instead wanted to pass the throne to the young disciple who had been newly recruited for half a month.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the story. There may be only one who appears in reality. There must be a big conspiracy behind it. I still have a chance to leave at this time. I knelt down and shouted that I offended my second senior brother. I am sorry for my master. Then I turned around and left like my second senior brother. No one could stop me...

He raised his head to look at the master, and saw Uncle Liu's face full of grief, and his triangular eyes were still quite energetic. Seeing Huo Chong looking over, Uncle Liu also looked back at Huo Chong. The moment the two looked at each other, they understood the other's thoughts. Uncle Liu coughed a few more times and said, "Huo Chong, you fell at my door. What do you do to you after I save you?"

"Master is kind to me," Huo Chong replied.

"If you think I treat you well, just take up this family business. Zhu Youquan treats me like this. If you treat me like this, will you want me to die? Do you really want to see me die?!" Uncle Liu's tone was already very strict.

After hearing Uncle Liu's words, some of the people watching around could no longer bear it and said to Huo Chong: "Why are you so unaware of your master? Your master is so angry that you can't do it. What does he ask you to do? You should do it quickly!"

Finally someone took the lead, and many people made the same statement. Huo Chong called these people all stupid in his heart. Shouldn't he see that there was a big problem? But Huo Chong didn't dare to leave immediately. Uncle Liu said that he was going to die, but he was threatening Huo Chong.

Of course Uncle Liu can't die. The spirit in his eyes is fine. Uncle Liu will live for another twenty years. The problem is that Uncle Liu made such a big deal, but in the end Huo Chong escaped. What means will Uncle Liu use to deal with Huo Chong? This is not China in the 21st century. There are job opportunities everywhere. If it really doesn't work as a coolie on the construction site, you can survive.

During the epidemic at the beginning of the year, too many wanted criminals were caught due to the popularization of QR codes. A wanted criminal who ran away after killing and lived outside for more than ten years by working. However, there was no such opportunity in the Qing Dynasty in 1717.

Thinking of this, Huo Chong made up his mind and replied to his master Uncle Liu: "Master, I am willing to listen to you."

"Dad, the tablets are ready." Uncle Liu's eldest son came to tell us the latest progress.

Uncle Liu did not answer, but just looked at Huo Chong while coughing. After pondering for a while, Uncle Liu ordered, "Get the deed."

Uncle Liu's eldest son was shocked, and many of the onlookers stopped talking, but instead pricked up their ears and listened to the follow-up.

"Get the deed...cough cough...cough the deed." Uncle Liu ordered again.

Uncle Liu's eldest son turned around unwillingly to get it. Uncle Liu asked his third son to help him up and head straight to the main hall.

The ancestor's plaque that was invited was placed on the table facing the wall of the main hall, and incense was inserted into the copper incense burner placed in front.

Uncle Liu asked Huo Chong to enter the main hall. The main hall was full of people with serious expressions. Under the guidance of Uncle Liu, he bowed to the gods, the ancestors, and the masters.

He finished his whole life with three beatings and nine kowtows. Uncle Liu sat in the master's position and did not let Huo Chong get up. He stood up with the help of his sons and walked tremblingly in front of Huo Chong.

"Huo Chong, if you take my position, you have to be nice to everyone. Everyone has so much money to keep you here, so you can take care of the disaster year. If you let everyone down, you will have to hit you with lightning! Did you hear it?"

Huo Chong didn't have to look at everyone, just to know that everyone's eyes were focused on him at this time. He could only answer readily: "Master, I understand."

"Okay! This account book list records the names of the villagers participating. I give it to you, and I will treat everyone according to the name on it!" After saying that, Uncle Liu took the list from his son holding the plate next to him.

Huo Chong still didn't want to accept it. At this time, Uncle Liu's eldest son put the deed on the list. Uncle Liu continued, "This house was also passed to me from my master, and I gave it to you..."

Amid the amazement of the people in the house, Uncle Liu, who was holding the list and the deed, shaking his body, and then he began to have an uncomfortable cough. Uncle Liu covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he took it away, he saw that Uncle Liu's teeth were already red.

Uncle Liu's sons quickly supported the shaky Uncle Liu and exclaimed: "Dad, Dad! Why are you so angry that you vomited blood!"

Uncle Liu's hand softened and the list fell, falling in front of Huo Chong. Then his body fell backwards.

The crowd was shocked, and someone rushed up to see what Uncle Liu was like. Then Uncle Liu's son shouted: "Zhu Youquan made my father so angry that he vomited blood. I'll find this bear man to beat him to death!"

As he said that, he squeezed out. Another son shouted, "Everyone will call the doctor and ask the doctor to treat my father."

Everyone gave in. But Uncle Liu's sons carried Uncle Liu out. There were carriages and horses outside the house. Uncle Liu got off the carriage under his sons' escort and hurried out to the village.

Everyone followed him out and saw Uncle Liu's second son rushing back and teaching Huo Chong a bunch of keys, "Junior brother... Senior brother Huo Chong, this is the key to the warehouse. Take a good look at the house. When my father's illness is cured, we will come back."

After saying that, the man hurriedly chased the cart. As everyone watched, Uncle Liu and his family escorted Uncle Liu away in a hurry.

"Brother Huo, your master will be fine." Someone around him said to Huo Chong.

Huo Chong turned his head and saw that it was Wu Laowu who had asked his master Uncle Liu before. Wu Laowu said with a slight smile: "Brother Huo, congratulations on being the leader."

Knowing that Wu Laowu had no good intentions, Huo Chong just smiled but didn't answer. It took a few seconds to sort out his mood, Huo Chong finally put himself into the current situation. Turning back to the house, Huo Chong first called his junior brothers who were still here to the wing room next to him.

Master Uncle Liu has five sons and two daughters. At this time, the sons all followed Uncle Liu, and the daughters had long stopped living here. All the rest are Huo Chong, the senior brother of the head and four junior brothers.

Huo Chong is about to be thirty this year, and his junior brothers are all in his teens. His eldest brother Li Tieniu Xu is twenty years old. After asking about his junior brothers' age, Huo Chong continued to ask: "Did Master ask the chef to start the meal?"

Although I knew it was not possible, Huo Chong still asked. The junior brothers looked at each other, revealing the unique simplicity of this era.

He refused to pay for the last meal, and Master Uncle Liu really ate it! Huo Chong smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not dare to make it clear to his junior brothers.

"Tieniu, take your brothers and boil water quickly and make tea for everyone." Huo Chongming said.

The junior brothers were very obedient and went immediately. Huo Chong's heart was turbulent again. If he ran away at this time, Uncle Liu would still not be able to get rid of it. If he had fulfilled the next thing, he would have been the scapegoat and would have to bear all the previous ruins.
