It wasn't that he was angry with his daughter for making her own decisions, but she just stared at him with her moist eyes, and then looked at the innocent and carefree son, no amount of anger dissipated.

Mu Yangling was very curious, "Father, what agreement did our Mu family have with the village?"

Mu Shi glanced at his wobbly son, pointed to the small stool and said, "Come here and sit."

Mu Yangling ran over and brought two stools and sat in front of Mu Shi with his younger brother.

Mu Shi said sadly: "I wanted to wait until you grow up and then tell you, lest you have resentment in your hearts, but now it seems that you are worthy of the seed of my Mu family, kind-hearted and small. When I was young, I would think of ways to help others."

Mu Yangling was blushed by her father's cheeky face, and Shu Wanniang, who was sitting at the door making clothes, laughed out loud, only the innocent little Bowen looked at her father proudly.

"Speak honestly, don't teach the children bad." Shu Wanniang said, "Since you want to say it, make it clear together, so that the children will not have any doubts in the future."

Mu Shi knew that what she was talking about was about Mrs. Fang Liu, his auntie. His relationship with other relatives was okay, but he didn't even care about the relationship with Mrs. Fang Liu, the kind that he didn't give as gifts every New Year's Eve.

Mu Shi touched his son's head and said, "It's a long time to talk about it. You have to start with your grandfather." Mu Shi looked at his daughter carefully and said, "A Ling, you look good. There are seven points like your grandfather, can you imagine how handsome and handsome your grandfather is?"

Mu Yangling opened his mouth wide.

"When your grandfather settled in Linshan Village, it caused a sensation in the eight townships of ten miles and eight villages. Not to mention those big girls, even the married young daughters-in-law who saw your grandfather forgot to walk." Mu Shi looked at his daughter regretfully and said: " It's a pity that although your facial features resemble your grandfather's, your skin color doesn't inherit your grandfather's talent, you will get dark as soon as you tan, how do you know that your grandfather's face is as white as jade, even after the wind and the sun have been exposed to the sun for years, the skin color remains the same."

Mu Yangling: "..." She touched her face, is her complexion really that bad? She is only nine years old now. Although she is a little darker, her skin is delicate, her pores are invisible, and her face is smooth. She looks beautiful in the mirror every day.

Xiao Bowen looked at his sister, then at his father, and asked, "Dad, then you definitely don't look like your grandfather, do you look like your grandmother?"

Mu Shi's face darkened, "...I look like my grandfather."

In a word, Mu Yangling's grandfather, Mu Yan, is very handsome. When he came, the hearts of the girls in Linshan Village and the nearby villages fell on him, including Mu Yangling's grandmother Liu Erniang and his aunt. Mother Liu Sanniang.

In the end, Mu Yan proposed to Liu Erniang, which made Liu Sanniang very unhappy. Fortunately, Mu Yan was not without flaws.

Although he is handsome, he has no parents, no brothers and sisters, so he can be said to be alone. In addition, there is only a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, and he doesn't even have a share of the land. The Fang family that Liu Sanniang later decided can be regarded as a village. good family.

Liu Sanniang could only keep hinting at herself that she looked down on Mu Yan and Liu Erniang in this regard.

Therefore, although Liu Sanniang was jealous, she did not go too far, but it didn't take long for Mu Yan, whom she despised, to buy a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain, and then paid for five blue-brick and black-tiled houses. The dowry gift given is the first in Linshan Village.

Liu Sanniang's jealousy turned into hatred, not to mention that Liu Erniang had a wonderful life after marriage.

It is natural for Mu family men to love their wives, so Mu Yan didn't let Liu Erniang go to work in the fields any more.

When Liu Sanniang was twenty-five, she looked like she was thirty, but Liu Erniang, who was one year older than her, seemed to be in her early twenties. The two sisters lived in the same village day and night, and they met day and night. The jealousy gnawed at her all the time. heart of.

It wasn't until Mu Shi's birth that she pulled back a game.

When Mu Shi was first born, the characteristics of the Hu people were not strong, but he grew too fast. When he was five years old, he already had hands and feet like a seven-year-old child. At this time, his eyes already had some clues.

Liu Sanniang was the first to find out, so she spread rumors in the village. At first, she suspected that Liu Erniang was cheating and stealing people, because Mu Shi didn't look like his parents.

His father didn't want to say, she was a beautiful woman, and his mother was also a beautiful woman. As a result, the born Mu Shijun was handsome, but he was also too strong, and his facial features were deeper than that of children of the same age. The rumors spread.

Liu Erniang wanted to die, but Mu Yan knew everything, because his son looked too much like his father, and at this time he could only calmly be of Hu blood.

Because the Hu people and the Han people have been at war all the time, there have been many Hu and Han marriages in recent years. Although the Liu family was angry with Mu Yan for concealing it, but seeing the other party's good attitude in admitting his mistake, the matter was over.

But Liu Sanniang was unwilling to let it go, first instructing the children in the village to reject and beat Mu Shi, and then before the woman rejected Liu Erniang.

Mu Shi's force value is high, and few children in the village beat him, so it is all the children in the village who are beaten by him, and the children are beaten, and the parents naturally have opinions. I feel that Mu Shi has the blood of the Hu people, and he is cruel, and he always insults the children in the village.

And Mu Yan and Liu Erniang didn't take the children's slapstick to heart. By the time they found out, the Mu family had been excluded from the entire Linshan Village.

At that time, Mu Shi was only seven years old. Since then, he has no playmates. Most of them follow his father into the mountains to hunt, or squat in front of the house to play.

Liu Ting's cousins ??came to play with him from time to time, but every time they went back, they were ostracized by the children in the village.

Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian realized that something was wrong, and they secretly investigated, but they found the little sister Liu Sanniang. The Liu family was strife. They could only swallow the bitter fruit in their stomachs, except to call Mu Yan and his wife away and scolded Liu Sanniang. , there is no way to order her not to slander Mu's family.

Liu Sanniang did not restrain herself because she saw that her family was unwilling to make a big issue.

So the relationship between the Mu family and Linshan Village gradually became tense until the military disaster fifteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, in the winter of 15 years ago, there was a snowstorm in the north. A group of Hu people secretly crossed the border and headed south, looting all the way to the south. People fled to Linshan Village.

At that time, there were a lot of young people in the village, but very few people had the courage to pick up things and resist. The 48 households and 348 people in the village almost became lambs to be slaughtered. In the end, Mu Yan took a bow and shot arrows to protect the whole village. Young and old retreat to the mountains.

Mu Shi was familiar with the mountains and forests, and was assigned by Mu Yan to lead the way, and he led the young men from the village to resist.

But in fact, he was the only one who could contribute, or Liu Erniang, who was desperately slashing aside with a big knife, was finally carried back with a total of seventeen knives, and only one breath was left. He alone killed twenty-one people.

He only had time to look at his wife and children, and then closed his eyes. Liu Erniang was already injured, and at this time, she was even more grief-stricken. She died holding her husband that night.

Mu Shi lost his parents overnight, and it was a blow to him, so at that time he hated the cowardice and incompetence of the people of Linshan Village.
