Chapter 3 What Is the Future Path of the Luo Family?
"Father, how did your ancestor look when you saw him today?"
After a moment of silence, Luo Chuan asked again.
"Ancestor's complexion?" Luo Ping thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Ancestor's complexion is worse than what I saw a week ago."
"I can even vaguely smell the smell of decay and death next to ancestor Changfeng."
"Perhaps it won't take a month for Ancestor Changfeng to know how to do it"
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Luo Chuan's brows, which were already slightly frowning, couldn't help but tighten.
The expression on his face gradually became more solemn as time passed.
"It seems that the Luo family's situation is more serious than I imagined!"
"Although our Luo family is called by outsiders, we are one of the four major families in Qingshi Town."
"Strong and powerful, possessing countless wealth."
"But within the family, the major factions all have different ideas about the future development of the family."
"Father, you are the head of the family and you need to take care of the overall situation."
"Second uncle Han Chuang studied hard for ten years. After failing to achieve any results, he switched from literature to business. He controls 70% or more of the family's wealth."
"The third uncle is strong and powerful. He is the strongest member of our Luo family."
"In his hands, he controls the strongest and most elite servant in the family."
"But he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind."
"If you are not careful, you will be deceived by outsiders. If you sell yourself, you will have to count the money for others."
"The reason why this huge Luo family has been able to maintain its current status."
"What we rely on is the majesty that Changfeng ancestors retained from the past."
"What if something unexpected happens to ancestor Changfeng at this critical moment?"
"Our Luo family is probably about to gradually fall apart and be gradually cannibalized by the other three major families in Qingshi Town and the extremely greedy officials in Qingshi Town."
As soon as Luochuan said this.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
"My son, is there really no other way to preserve the family?"
“It’s either that there’s no way or that”
"That's it. To put it bluntly, dad can handle it!" Luo Ping stared at his son Luo Chuan beside him and said with a slight tremor in his words.
Luo Chuan, who was in the room, slowly picked up a cup of tea next to him.
Put it to your mouth and drink it.
Glancing slightly at his father, whose breathing was a little disordered, he sighed slightly and said, "The Gale Dynasty has experienced several years of severe drought, and countless people have turned into bandits and risen up."
"Even though the legacy of the Gale Dynasty is still there, the emergence of this troubled world is unavoidable."
"In this troubled world, if our Luo family cannot work together."
"I think it would be better to find a deserted mountain and live in seclusion. This is also a way to continue the family bloodline."
"If our Luo family really wants to do this, I'm afraid we will have to give up the family business in Qingshi Town that has been painstakingly managed for two to three hundred years."
"At that time, the chaos will end, the Gale Dynasty has suppressed the unrest, or a new ruler will appear."
"It is already difficult for our Luo family to return to this Bluestone Town."
Although Luo Chuan's words were very calm.
But this kind of calmness made Luo Ping, the current head of the Luo family, feel extremely heavy.
"Guarantee the continuation of the family bloodline?"
"Chuan'er, what do you mean?"
After pondering for a long time, Luo Ping suddenly captured important information and quickly asked his son Luo Chuan beside him.
"Yes, even so, it is only to ensure the continuation of the family bloodline."
Luochuan poured himself a cup of tea again and drank it in one gulp.
He raised his head and looked at his father, the head of the family, with a somewhat helpless expression and whispered: "Father, you are not so naive as to think that if you decide to leave Qingshi Town and find a remote mountain to live in seclusion, what will happen to your second uncle and your third uncle?" The people around you will follow you obediently, right?”
"Second uncle's character is the most conservative."
"It must be impossible for him to give up the family business and leave Qingshi Town."
"The third uncle has a strong personality and always wants to take advantage of the troubled times to go out and make a fortune."
"If Patriarch Changfeng was not still here, Third Uncle would have taken his people and left this small town with a population of less than 100,000."
"So, even if you, father, listen to my words and don't get involved in this troubled world, the most you can do is ensure the continuation of the family bloodline."
"Is there really no way to have both?" Luo Ping was a little hesitant.
If possible, he naturally wouldn't want to leave this place where the Luo family has lived and developed for two to three hundred years.
"Father, you can't have your cake and eat it too."
"As the head of the Luo family, you must make a decision at a critical moment!"
After Luo Chuan finished speaking, he stood up silently and walked out of the room alone.
As Luo Chuan gradually left, the figure slowly disappeared from Luo Ping's sight.
Luo Ping slumped down on a wooden armchair with some weakness.
His eyes were staring into the distance somewhat aimlessly.
"Live in seclusion, or grit your teeth and stay."
"Of these two paths, which one should I choose?"
And just when Luo Ping, the head of the Luo family, was hesitant and wavering.
In the land of the Zhao family, one of the four major families in Qingshi Town.
Zhao Wu, the current head of the Zhao family, and the elders of the Zhao family.
At this time, they all gathered together.
"Doctor Wang, in your opinion, how long can the old man in the Luo family's land live?"
In the quiet and extremely bright hall.
Sitting quietly on the main seat, Zhao Wu suddenly asked the old man in front of him, who was wearing purple clothes, with wrinkles on his face and a long white beard.
Although he was very old, he was in very good spirits.
"In my opinion, within half a month, the old man in the Luo family's land will definitely die because of the exhaustion of his lifespan."
Doctor Wang smiled slightly, and said in a low voice while stroking his soft white beard confidently.
The old man called Doctor Wang is named Wang Kun.
Before, he was the best and most famous doctor in Qingshi Town.
Because Doctor Wang did not join any forces in Qingshi Town.
Therefore, people from all the major forces in Qingshi Town like to ask him to treat various diseases.
The ancestor of the Luo family was panicking because his life span was about to run out.
He also asked this old doctor Wang if there was any way to prolong his life.
However, the result was obvious.
Let’s not talk about whether there is any way. Even if there is, the price is not something that the small Luo family can afford.
