Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

All the people in Yuehe Village, including the Qi family, thought that Qi Changgui was caught in a sea storm, and unfortunately he and his boat sank into the deep sea and died.

Little did he know that what Qi Changgui encountered when he went to sea was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

The matter starts from the year when Qi Changgui got married and had children. At that time, Qi Changgui had already accumulated a lot of wealth and became the richest man in Yuehe Village. His business was on the right track and getting bigger and bigger. scholar.

On weekdays, he is kind and generous, always willing to lend a helping hand to passers-by in times of crisis. Even though most of his goodwill is like a meat bun beating a dog without returning, he has remained the same and persisted for many years.

Xu Shi's kindness really has its rewards. In the year he got married, he helped a down-and-out poor kid, and received a sincere gift from the other party, which were several ancient books passed down for more than a hundred years.

Qi Changgui once declined the other party's thank you gift, because it was a small effort for him, but the other party's feedback was a family heirloom.

But that person is a scholar with good conduct, so he must express his gratitude with this, so Qi Changgui cherished and accepted it.

Although Qi Changgui did not study with his master seriously in the academy, he learned a lot of characters while urging his younger brother to study. He read the few ancient books, which recorded that this ancestor traveled to sea with the most powerful caravan of the previous dynasty. Foreign travel notes and journals.

The descriptions in the ancient books are slightly exaggerated, and many places seem extremely unreasonable, but Qi Changgui still saw business opportunities from them, and was also very tempted by the prosperity of foreign countries described in the ancient books. He had the idea of ​​going to Lingnan Road to do maritime trade.

He is a down-to-earth businessman with a long-term vision. After he had this idea, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he paid more attention to the business and friends in Lingnan Road. After making a lot of money, he really moved his mind and dragged his family to Lingnan Road to officially start maritime business.

He is a daredevil, he entrusted someone in Lingnan Road to handle the customs clearance procedures approved by the imperial court, bought two luxurious merchant ships, recruited local fishermen with rich experience in sailing, and prepared all kinds of rare goods , followed the original powerful caravan of Lingnan Road and went to sea to the neighboring foreign country Wa.

His luck was very good, and he returned to the land safely and safely after going to sea several times, and brought back a large amount of wealth and goods from the Wa country.

He transported one tenth of it back to Yuehe Village and handed it over to his younger brother, and the rest was used as the cost of the next trade. After going back and forth a few times, the wealth accumulated by Qi Changle alone was as much as a thousand gold, let alone that of Qi Changgui. The big head on the side.

Many successful experiences gave Qi Changgui confidence in his heart. He thought of the more prosperous foreign countries Europa and Dashi described in ancient books. That was the beginning of his dream. He was full of enthusiasm and made full preparations. Finally, he set off with a fleet of more than ten ships full of cargo.

Everyone in the fleet knew nothing about his destination at first, but after deviated from the established route, out of trust in Qi Changgui, they didn't raise too many objections.

However, the journey was too far away. Even though Qi Changgui had made enough preparations, he couldn't resist the collapse of people's hearts, so he had no choice but to stop at Tianzhu.

But even so, it also created a precedent for the Great Qi Kingdom, because of the hundred years of war before the Great Qi Kingdom, only the land Silk Road remained unimpeded, and the sea route had long been cut off. Many wealthy businessmen in Lingnan Road wanted to find it again. The waterway was full of difficulties, but unexpectedly, it was connected again by Qi Changgui.

The goods that Qi Changgui brought from the Great Qi State were warmly welcomed by the upper echelons of Tianzhu. They sold all the goods at high prices here, and returned with innumerable gold and silver treasures and foreign goods. Everyone in the team concealed the news, so they didn't cause too much trouble in Lingnan Road.

But the news still leaked out, and several wealthy businessmen who Qi Changgui knew close to him came to him to get a share of the pie.

Qi Changgui also didn't have the idea of ​​a single family being the only one. He reached a cooperative relationship with the Wu family, which has the longest inheritance and the greatest influence, and agreed on the next trip to Europa. The goods on board set off again.

But it was during this voyage that he encountered a man-made disaster. His confidants cooperated with the Japanese pirates to hijack the fleet and brutally killed other innocent crew members. Navigational route map of Europa.

You must know that maritime navigation is extremely dangerous. To do maritime trade, you must have a navigation route map in order to avoid dangers and obstacles at sea.

The rich merchant caravans in Lingnan Road all have different navigation route maps in their hands. It is a family heirloom handed down from the ancestors. It is the most important secret in the family and will not be leaked out easily.

The ancient books in Qi Changgui's hands, although not a complete navigation route map, are of great reference and practical value. If the exaggerated parts can be excluded, a complete navigation route map can be obtained. This map is extremely precious, almost equivalent to Countless wealth of gold and silver.

In fact, Qi Changgui did not hide the ancient books and the idea of ​​the navigation route map. If the other party came to negotiate a deal in an open and aboveboard manner, Qi Changgui would hand over the navigation route map generously. However, he was treated so cruelly. They were all killed and thrown into the sea, and his heart was aroused to resist.

While dealing with the opponent calmly, he thought of a way to escape smoothly, creating the illusion that he fell into the sea and died.

At that time, his legs had already been broken, and it was only through willpower and good luck, and this place was not too far from the mainland, that he was lucky enough to return to Lingnan Road alive.

But he went back too late, most of the wealth in the mansion disappeared without a trace, his wife had "died of serious illness", and his only son was also missing.

Fortunately, he knew the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and his family was poor when he was young, so he felt very insecure, so he settled the yard and some money elsewhere in advance.

Relying on the money, he inquired secretly for a long time, and finally learned of his son's whereabouts. He was in a dark dungeon, and he saw that he was abandoned in the depths of the dungeon.The body of the son who starved to death.

But any bloody man, being treated like this will also ignite the anger of revenge, so even though Qi Changgui knew that his younger brother had been looking for his son, he did not come forward to recognize him, but secretly plotted revenge for himself and his wife and children .

He knew very well in his heart that a single trusted servant who betrayed him would not be able to invite the Japanese pirates and deceive so many people. There must be other forces hiding behind him.

He had been lurking for more than ten years, and finally followed the vines and uprooted the enemy who plotted against him at the beginning, but he also became less human, ghosts less ghosts, and he no longer cared about anything external, and became the most ordinary lame man on the street. A beggar with disfigured legs, desperately wants to spend the rest of his life.

But at this time, Qi Changgui met a strange beggar named Zhong Yu who looked very similar to his wife...

"Zhong Yu."

Qi Zhongyu was brought back to her senses by the village chief's cry, she blinked, Qi Changle's worried voice came into her ears more clearly, and sighed: "Hey, it's my fault, I shouldn't mention your sad things .”

He thought that his nephew was feeling sad for his elder brother Qi Changgui. After all, when Qi Zhongyu was taken away by his elder brother's brother, he was still too young, and he had been wandering outside, busy learning his skills, so he didn't remember much about his biological parents.

The village chief felt uncomfortable, so the two fell silent.

What Qi Zhongyu was thinking at the moment was: she had received Qi Changgui's favor, and also took up the identity of the other party's son, so she had to bear the corresponding responsibility.

She has been looking for the sixteen-square Rubik's Cube. It was a toy that Qi Changgui made for his son in a foreign country when he went to sea. A treasure to be left to my son.

His son, the real Qi Zhongyu, is an extremely intelligent child. He likes this kind of educational toys very much. After getting the [-]-square Rubik's Cube, he started playing happily. They are all trying to convert all sides of the Rubik's Cube into place.

After Qi Changgui was plotted against, and he faked his death to escape back to the mansion, most of the things in the house were searched, and the Rubik's Cube disappeared together with his son.

During the more than ten years of revenge, Qi Changgui has always wanted to find this Rubik's Cube, because it was his son's favorite thing during his lifetime.

But the Rubik's Cube was originally a very popular foreign toy in Lingnan Road and even Daqi. There are thousands of similar [-]-block Rubik's Cubes, and it is extremely difficult to find, so until the other party died, they were never found.

Qi Zhongyu had no idea of ​​doing maritime trade, but simply wanted to find this Rubik's Cube. After all, it was something that Qi Changgui still remembered when he was dying. He always held her hand and recalled the good times of the family of three intermittently.

If he hadn't obtained those ancient books by accident, Qi Changgui would not have encountered such a catastrophe. The sixteen-square Rubik's Cube that ruined Qi Changgui's family should be the most suitable funeral objects for Qi Changgui's family.

Qi Zhongyu wanted to find this Rubik's Cube, and buried it with the bodies of the three members of Qi Changgui's family, which was considered his best effort.

She also knows very well in her heart that this matter is not that easy, and she can only say that she will do her best.

She won't tell Qi Changle about this, otherwise she can't explain why she knows so much, and can't explain her true origin, let him think that her brother died at sea, it's better than knowing that Qi Changgui spent the rest of his life in revenge many.

Moreover, her time in Yuehe Village was the most stable time since time travel. She had been wandering around like duckweed before. She had seen and experienced too many things. I want to settle down and live my own life.

What's more, she has married a wife and started a family now, and she is no longer alone, and Lu Dongfu is the most satisfying girl she has ever met since she grew up.

She should abandon those heavy past and live a simple and light life again.

She heard footsteps approaching from far to near, she glanced out of the window, and saw someone standing outside the door, a cook hired by the Qi family, and said: "Village chief, the meal is ready, Madam calls you and Qi Zhongyu went over to have dinner together."

The village head responded, and said to Qi Zhongyu, "Let's go and eat first."

Qi Zhongyu nodded, and the two of them opened the door and walked towards the main room. The main room of the village chief's house is the largest room in the area, and it looks very spacious and bright. The ink painting with a strong wild atmosphere, and freshly picked flowers are placed on the tables on both sides, which looks warm and comfortable.

There are two tables in the main room, one on the left and one on the right, with men sitting on one side and women and children sitting on the other.

There was already a table full of dishes on the dining table, and the aroma of the food filled the air, which made people move their index fingers.

Qi Zhongyu glanced at the table of the female relatives, and saw Lu Dongfu who was setting the table and chopsticks for the little girl beside him. The other party lowered his brows and eyes meekly, and talked patiently and gently with the little girl who was just a few years old. Sensing someone coming in, she raised her head, looked past the second uncle of the village chief, and landed directly on Qi Zhongyu, the corners of her mouth curled up to reveal a soft and peaceful smile, then she lowered her head again and continued talking to the little girl.

Qi Zhongyu unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled, followed Qi Changle and sat at the man's table, and had breakfast with everyone in the Qi family.

The four dishes prepared by Lu Dongfu were very eye-catching on the dinner table. They were much better than other dishes in terms of appearance alone. Qi Anhao also frequently picked up vegetables with his chopsticks.

A meal, eat with relish.

After everyone had their breakfast in silence, the cook and the Qi family's two sisters-in-law cleaned up the dishes, and Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu stepped forward to formally greet the village chief's second uncle and the others.
