Chapter 210 The old man passed away

Tianhe County.

In the past six years, the county has doubled in size, but the people in this city appear to be depressed and hopeful, and extremely contradictory.

"There is no locust plague this year, and food is finally available."

"No need to starve to death... no need to starve to death..."

"Thank you, General...Thank you, General..."

"..."

The occasional sounds on the side of the street revealed the reason for the strange atmosphere in the city.

Because the locust plague did not come this year, the southern border actually only encountered one locust plague, and Chen Nuo, a relatively conscientious feudal lord, helped, so the death of people was not actually too many.

But there are not only people from the south, there are also many people who have fled from the north, Liushui, Ouyue, or even giant rocks!

There are not even a few people who cross a large state and come to the far south just to beg for work!

As a result, the population of the southern border increased instead of falling due to the disaster. The population of Tianhe County increased from nearly 70,000 to 100,000.

Fengming County has also increased from 60,000 to 80,000. Even Panyu County, which has the least sense of existence, has reached 60,000 and has become a first-class county.

Chen Nuo did an inaccurate census and found that the population under his command had reached more than 300,000, maybe even more than 400,000.

The exact number cannot be counted. After all, it is too difficult to conduct a census in rural areas, and the Chen regime does not have the ability to mobilize personnel.

Such an increase in population brings not only troubles, but also opportunities.

Not to mention the increase in various types of technical talents, even those small aristocratic families and small sects have come, adding a lot of talents.

With someone available for the Chen family, the southern border becomes more stable than Mount Tai.

The reputation of Chen's Junwang Family is also getting wider and wider.

…

Chenjia Street.

A butcher's house.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

A baby cried, making everyone around the room sigh in relief.

Po Wen came out with the child.

"Come on, come on, this is a big fat boy."

"Be careful, don't touch it randomly, just take a look. It's written in the patriarch's medical manual that babies should not be exposed to the wind."

The butcher, that is, Chen Le, stretched out his trembling hands to hug the infant baby. He looked at the wrinkled and ugly child with an ugly smile on his face.

At this time.

Ahem!

Cough cough cough!

There was a violent coughing sound.

Chen Nuo, who was dressed in gold and white robes, helped his uncle and walked in.

At this time, my great-uncle was exhausted, his whole body was as skinny as a ghost, his eyes were concave and convex, and his ribs were clearly visible.

One glance tells you that you will not live long.

Seeing Chen Nuo and his uncle arriving, everyone around them moved out of the way and bowed their heads to show respect.

When Chen Le saw it, his whole body couldn't stop trembling, and he didn't dare to look at Chen Nuo and his grandfather.

Chen Nuo's eyes sank slightly, his true energy surged, and he lifted the child over.

The old man looked at the baby and smiled lightly.

It was such a relief.

That is blood inheritance.

That is living up to our ancestors.

That is a family responsibility.

It was the alternation of old and new.

That's family affection...

That's reluctance...

That is……

"Ahem, Arnold, no need, I have to leave. Don't pass death to your children."

There is a folk saying that a dying old man cannot see a newborn baby, because life and death are opposites, and the spirit of dying will be passed on to the baby, which is not good for the baby's future.

Chen Nuo was slightly silent and did not reply.

He just returned the child to Wen Po, who took the child back to the room knowingly.

Uncle patted Chen Nuo's hand, and Chen Nuo helped the old man walk back in tacit agreement.

At this time, Chen Le, who had been trembling and dared not look at Chen Nuo and the old man, suddenly raised his head and knelt on the ground, "Grandpa! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Tears streaming down my face.

But the old man didn't pause and just walked forward.

Chen Nuo helped the old man back home. Many people stopped here, including Chen Shuiwen, Chen Xiang, Chen Xiao, Chen Li, Chen Deng...

There is also a new generation of Taizi people...

The old man was lying on the bed, holding Chen Nuo's hand, "Arnold, my great-uncle has lived enough in this life."

"I was wanton in the first half of my life. I didn't care. I hung out with some rangers all day long and accomplished nothing. Only when I got frustrated and returned to my family did I realize what my roots are."

"The rest of my life was a failure. I didn't make the right decision, I didn't stop the family's decline, and I even almost brought the family to its demise. I'm ashamed of my ancestors."

"Fortunately, lucky to have you."

"It's like you came down from heaven to prosper our clan..."

Uncle touched Chen Nuo's face, full of heartache, "I'm sorry, Arnold."

"It's useless for me, uncle. I asked you to shoulder the burden when you were only fifteen years old. The fifteen-year-old clan leader, haha, I still feel ridiculous when I think about it. I, and the people of Shui Wen's generation should pay tribute to our ancestors after death. Lie Zong apologizes!”

"Arnold, if you are tired, just let it go. You have paid enough for the family."

In the eyes of my uncle.

Chen Nuo is a model worker, someone who is exploited by his family!

A fifteen-year-old boy was given the task of taking charge of a small, run-down clan, killing enemies, starting a business, saving the clan, and developing the country.

Along the way, he became a well-known county leader family in Yue Kingdom!

What an incredible thing!

And under this series of deeds, how much effort must be put in?

My uncle didn't understand this.

But he understands that if you gain something, you must pay something, especially for a family like theirs that has no backer.

Therefore, if Chen Nuo no longer wants to work and wants to give up his career, my great-uncle thinks it is appropriate because the family owes him.

After all, what kind of good life could a person with a strong internal organs state not want to live?

Chen Nuo didn't speak, just silent.

He didn't know what to say either.

Could it be that although I was tired, I enjoyed it?

Do you think that developing a family means strengthening oneself?

It's inappropriate no matter what.

Seeing this, my uncle said nothing more and just sighed.

"In the future, I don't know what the world will be like. I hope, I hope you can lead everyone to live well."

"Also, um, let's call that child Chen An. He's safe. Arnold, you, please take care of it."

Chen Nuo nodded.

The old man smiled, and his breathing became heavier and heavier, as if there was a broken fan in his chest.

Chen Nuo looked at it, but felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Even if he has made a breakthrough in opening pulses and becoming a famous doctor who can treat all kinds of terminal diseases in the world, there is still nothing he can do about birth, old age, illness and death.

The only thing he could do was to ease his uncle's pain.

In fact, his uncle's old illness when he was young has been solved by him, but it is already time to die. It's just that he has been holding on to his body and wants to see the emergence of future generations, which makes him endure it. This is what it looks like.

but……

Uncle suddenly opened his eyes again and looked at Chen Nuo, "Arnold."

"You have a conflict with Lazi?"

Chen Nuo shook his head.

"Then why haven't we seen any children yet?"

"..."

Chen Nuo looked embarrassed.

"How can you live without the continuation of your bloodline? Don't wait until later to regret it. You are the only one in our family!"

Uncle didn't want to see Chen Nuo's lineage cut off.

Chen Nuo nodded helplessly, "Uncle, I know, but for some reasons, I still need some time."

Although he didn't understand much, his uncle still didn't break the casserole and asked the truth.

Finished.

Uncle closed his eyes again and rested.

Just these two days... He had this hunch...

Many times, the elderly actually have a premonition of their own death.

The next day.

After receiving the news, Chen clan members from all over the country returned one after another.

In the past six years, the Chen clan has spread all over the southern border, and they can even be found in towns and villages.

And among the Tianhe mountains.

A group of people who had just won a big victory also got the news.

"Quick! Go back!"

"granduncle!"

"This is impossible. I, the Chen family, come from a medical family. How could it be possible so early..."

This is somewhat biased.

"Bang bang bang!"

Next to him, Chen Yong, who had been at the peak of the Muscle and Bone Realm for the past six years, was already running wildly, wanting to return to Tianhe County all the time.

soon.

People of the Chen clan returned to Tianhe County one after another.

In Tianhe County, all the people were shocked and inexplicable.

This unusual behavior even attracted the attention of many spies in the city, and for a while, various news began to be passed out.

There is no way, the Chen family today is very important and has this kind of weight.

soon.

They are back.

My uncle met a few more people.

"Ah Yong, it's time for you to get married. Do you really plan to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

"Aden, don't always eat those fresh foods. Wouldn't you like some fruit? Please help Brother Nuo more. You are the most outstanding talent of our Chen family."

"Tomang, don't be so extreme all the time. It's been a long time since your father's incident happened. It's time to let it go. Also, pay more attention to safety when charging."

"Aping, you need to change your temper. A true man in the world must at least let everyone think that you are a moral person on the surface. Otherwise, is the poisonous snake clearly extending its fangs outside and arousing people's vigilance?"

"Shui Wen, as an uncle, please help Arnold more and don't have other thoughts, understand?"

"Chen Li, back then..."

"Hongye, husband and wife are one, you have to be more considerate of Arnold..."

"Lazi, if my uncle is gone from now on, if Arnold bullies you, go find your mother and ask her to teach him a lesson."

"Chen Xiao..."

"Chen Xiang..."

"..."

My great-uncle met many people. Although some people just gave simple instructions, none of what they said showed that my great-uncle actually paid attention to many people.

the next day.

The uncle held Chen Nuo's hand and looked at the sunshine outside the window without focusing at all, as if he was watching someone picking him up.

"Arnold...well..."

"Okay..."

"Um."

The old palms in his hands gradually lost their strength.

The heart slowly stops beating.

A sad look flashed in Chen Nuo's eyes, and he opened his mouth on his silent face, but couldn't say anything.

Grief?

Fear?

He couldn't tell.

There was a strange pressure that seemed to clutch his heart.
