Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Chengchuan bowed to Li Wu, who smiled knowingly and shouted: "Chengchuan, take the two children with you, let's go down the mountain and move the luggage!"

Wang Mei and Zhao Dezhang stayed behind to look after the house, while Zhao Chengchuan, his son and his two sons, and Li Wu went down the mountain and went home.

"Brother Li, thank you for helping me out today."

Li Wu said jokingly: "I didn't help you out for nothing, you have to work hard for me today!"

Zhao Chengchuan echoed the sentiment: "Of course, I have collected all my things."

After spending more than half a year together, Li Wu really regarded Zhao Chengchuan as a brother and was worried about his brother's family affairs. Now the outside world is changing, the prince is fighting for the throne, the government is changing rapidly, and there are natural disasters, and the country is turbulent. However, the brother is indecisive and has been hesitant to make up his mind to clean up the house. It is too late to take ruthless action after suffering a big loss.

"Brother Chengchuan, I'm going to say something you don't want to hear. Your family members often come to your old house to cause trouble. This is not a big deal, especially in this world. Food is so important. Why did you let them take away most of it? What are you going to do with your family's food in the future?"

Of course Zhao Chengchuan knew that Li Wu was thinking about him. Most people would not risk offending others by talking about their parents. Brother Li really cared about him, so he reminded him.

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? I'm not ungrateful. I'll tell you something, too. Before the temperature dropped, my daughter Qingya had foresight and bought some food and hid it. We don't have to worry about the food problem for now. Besides, the last time I asked for food was the last time I was soft-hearted. From now on, I will only fulfill my duty as a son to my parents and will not let them go any further and bully my wife and children."

Li Wu saw that his brothers were not foolishly filial people and did not listen to their parents in everything. They had already made arrangements in private, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, it's good that you think this way. If your parents are not kind, you don't have to be too filial. You still have a big family to support. I don't call you Brother Li for nothing. If they come to cause trouble again in the future, just call me and I will cooperate without saying a word."

Zhao Chengchuan was deeply moved. Compared to his biological brothers who only exploited him, his sworn brother who had no blood relationship with him cared for him wholeheartedly. From now on, Li Wu would be his real brother.

"Okay, our two families will help each other and overcome difficulties together in the future."

The two middle-aged men in the front had tears in their eyes. Zhao Deyan behind them secretly winked at Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing received the signal, slowed down and distanced himself from the two men in front.

Zhao Deyan discussed quietly, "Big sister, we have to teach the old house a lesson. He just keeps staring at our house every day. How about we go down the mountain and go to the old house to beat up Zhao Decheng?"

Zhao Qing nodded in agreement. Although they didn't get any advantage this time, they were like a toad lying on the back of one's foot. They couldn't hurt anyone but disgusted him. Zhao Qing was afraid that he couldn't control himself and would kill them. Then his father might be sad. It would be better to catch their weak spots and teach them a lesson so that they wouldn't dare to provoke him.

The four of them returned to the door of Li's house, and Li Heng was packing up his things at home.

"Qingya, Deyan, you two should stay and accompany Heng'er. There is no need for you two children to be busy."

Li Wu's original intention was not to exploit the labor of the two children. He called them down together to avoid being conscripted by the people in the old house.

The two of them nodded obediently. They had to go back to the old house later, so this was just right.

After the two adults left with their things, the two of them immediately put down what they were holding, looked at each other, and prepared to go out.

"What bad things are you two planning to do?" Li Heng's emotionless voice came from behind.

The two of them froze, recalling the fear of being dominated by Li Heng when they were studying at the Li family.

Zhao Deyan turned around and smiled flatteringly: "Brother Heng, my sister and I went out to see if anyone needed help. How could we do something bad?"

"So that's how it is. I misunderstood. It's my fault. When Uncle Zhao comes back, I will apologize to you in front of him."

Li Heng looked annoyed and guilty.

"Don't!" Zhao Deyan's expression of smugness froze, and he hurriedly shouted to stop her, "Brother Heng, it's just a small misunderstanding, it's not worth mentioning, why bother with so much trouble?"

Li Heng refused: "How can it be a small misunderstanding? Not only did I misunderstand the character of both of you, I also doubted Uncle Li's teachings. For such a serious mistake, of course I must solemnly apologize in front of all the victims."

"Is it that serious?" Zhao Deyan was puzzled.

Zhao Qing understood Li Heng's subtext, and if he didn't tell him the truth, he would complain.

"Okay, Brother Heng, stop teasing my brother. He's not smart to begin with. I'm telling you the truth. We're going to go to the old house and teach Zhao Decheng a lesson."

Li Heng frowned slightly: "What happened again?"

"Can't it be that we just don't like Zhao Decheng and want to beat him up?"

Zhao Qing was surprised. In ancient times, if a younger brother or sister had to beat his older brother, shouldn't a scholar who was well-read in the books of sages scold himself for being treasonous and disrespectful to his brother?

Li Heng tapped Zhao Qing's head lightly, and Zhao Qing dodged by quickly tilting his head as a conditioned reflex.

Li Heng knocked in vain, paused, and looked sad: "Sister Zhao Qing, this is really sad. In your heart, I am such a pedantic person who can't distinguish right from wrong and doesn't make sense?"

Zhao Qing knew that the person in front of her was pretending, but she couldn't bear to see the beautiful boy look sad, so she pinched her thigh hard as if she was coaxing a child, stretched her head in front of Li Heng, and signaled him to knock as he pleased.

Li Heng looked at the little girl with a fearless face and felt amused. She was obviously a cute little girl, but she usually acted like a mature and steady adult. Today, the little girl rarely showed her lively and cute side, and he couldn't miss it. Li Heng stretched out his hand and rubbed the clean and smooth black hair in front of him.

Zhao Qing looked up in disbelief with his messy hair. What's wrong with this guy? Long hair is hard to take care of, why does he have such a messy hairstyle?

Seeing the indignant look on the little girl's face, Li Heng moved his fingers slightly and suppressed the thought of doing it again. He couldn't afford the consequences of angering the little girl yet. Although his body had recovered, he couldn't withstand a punch from the little girl. Li Heng looked at Zhao Deyan as if nothing had happened and changed the subject.

"You are not the type to actively bully others. They must have angered you again. Tell me, how did they bully you again?"

Zhao Deyan clapped his hands together and said incessantly, "Hey! Brother Heng, even you know my relatives. Today, two aunts came over, probably to ask us for oilcloth. First of all, they wanted to thank your father and said that my father helped your family in exchange for benefits. Then, my younger sister was quick-witted and said that our oilcloth was the reward for helping your family move things. Later, when they saw that they couldn't get the oilcloth, they wanted me and my younger sister to work for them for free."
