But what Gong Shaoqing didn't know was that Uncle Cai, who had sent him to the mountains, had been called into the room by Ma San last night to explain many things in private.
It wasn't to harm him, but to change the old master's arrangements.
Uncle Cai was honest and dutiful, and because Third Ma was a disciple that the old master valued very much, he could be said to be half the master of the Gong family.
Therefore, Ma San had told Uncle Cai that the old master wanted to test the young master, so Uncle Cai did not suspect anything.
When he was finally ready to leave, his aunt was tidying up his clothes. Gong Shaoqing whispered,"Auntie, I'll definitely remember what I told you yesterday.”
"Also, you must remember that Ma San is not reliable. Don't ask why. Just be careful of him.”
"Even if you go to Beiping, don't let go of your family matters. I've brought those people with me to continue raising them, especially that Shuisheng. I've already entrusted him to Sixth Uncle to train in the army.”
"What big matter can't be decided? Get him to contact me. I'm worried about the others.”
Gong Ruomei recalled his instructions last night and nodded seriously.""Got it."
However, he couldn't understand why Gong Shaoqing was targeting Ma San.
In her opinion, Third Ma had lived in the Gong family since he was young. He was a little arrogant, but he was not a bad person.
Alright, have a safe journey. Don't be too playful!
Gong Shaoqing then followed Uncle Cai to the bus station.
After Fushun, they couldn't take the train anymore, so they could only hire a carriage to continue their journey.
It could be said that they had spent several days on the road but had not reached their destination.
They couldn't even sit in a carriage at the back, so they could only hire local donkeys to carry them.
When they arrived at the foot of a branch of the Changbai Mountains, they finally arrived at their destination.
This was a village located deep in the mountains of the Changbai Mountains.
"Uncle Cai, is this your hometown? It wasn't easy for you to walk out of here back then, right?”
When the two approached the village, Gong Shaoqing couldn't help but ask curiously.
It had to be said that this place looked very primitive and backward. It seemed that the population of the village was not many, at most a few dozen households.
How did Uncle Cai walk out of here and come to the Gong family to learn martial arts?
Chen Shoucai had a smile and pride on his face as he sighed,"Yes, it was really not easy to get out of here. If it wasn't for the old master taking me in later, I'm afraid I would have starved to death outside.”
"Our Chen Family Village doesn't seem big, but everyone is honest and hardworking, and it's easy to get along.”
At this point, Uncle Cai said helplessly and heartbroken,"Logically speaking, I shouldn't say anything bad about the old master, but he instructed the village to only guarantee you one meal. The rest is up to you.”
"You're still young. How can Old Master be so cruel?”
Hearing this, Gong Shaoqing's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
He knew that the old man had thrown him into the mountains to gain experience, not to torture him.
But Uncle Cai said that the village would only provide one meal, and the rest would depend on him?
There was probably something fishy going on!
He knew that Uncle Cai didn't dare to make decisions on his own. Someone must have secretly instructed him.
From Uncle Cai's reaction along the way, he didn't even know that he was being used.
Soon, someone in the village saw the two of them and immediately went to inform the elders in the village.
"Brother Shou Cai is here!" A middle-aged man who was about the same age as Wang Shoucai stepped forward and asked.
"Are you planning to stay for a few days?”That person could not help but ask curiously when he saw that they had brought a lot of luggage.
Usually, Chen Shoucai would only come back to visit his relatives and elders.
"Yes, I plan to stay and write down the date." Chen Shoucai smiled and nodded. He then introduced,"This is the young master of the Gong family. He will be living in the mountains for the next few days.”
"Living in the mountains?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.
? Chen Shoucai nodded." Tomorrow, ask Gou 'zi and the others to find a relatively safe place in the mountains and build a house for Young Master."”
"Ah?" The middle-aged man almost doubted his ears and asked in confusion,"Don't let the noble live in the village?"
Chen Shoucai smiled bitterly and looked apologetically at Gong Shaoqing before saying,"Yes, the old master has instructed the young master to come out and train. He told us not to disturb him.”
" This…" Chen Zhong was Uncle Cai's childhood friend. Every time he came back, he would talk about the outside world.
She talked about the Gong family's martial arts training the most, so she naturally knew some of the rules of martial arts training.
Hearing that it was Old Master Gong who instructed him, Chen Zhong nodded and said with a smile,"Alright, after dinner, I'll tell Gou 'zi and Dazhuang to bring Little Master into the mountains to repair the house.”
When everyone entered the village, a group of young and old men came. They helped carry things while asking Chen Shoucai about what he had seen outside.
As for Gong Shao Qing, this young master, although they were passionate, they were more respectful.
After all, this was the era.
They would feel that they were not qualified to talk to the young master of a big family.
Gong Shaoqing wasn't familiar with these people, so he also wanted to forcefully blend in.
Soon, the banquet was held in the village, and all the people in the village came.
Everyone gathered their food.
This was also a characteristic of this era. After all, resources were relatively scarce.
Even in the 1970s and 1980s, such a situation still existed in the countryside.
However, there was a lot of food in the village, but there were not many varieties.
Most of them were millet, miscellaneous grains, wild vegetables, and wild game hunted in the mountains.
Uncle Cai had brought back some wine, so there was no lack of wine. It was enough for everyone to have a good drink.
