The hermitage was built across the mountain, and the houses of the four major families occupied halfway up the mountain.

Entering from the entrance, after walking for more than half an hour, Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng saw neat rows of courtyards.

The style and appearance of the courtyards are exactly the same, but judging from the size and format, they don't look like the courtyards of wealthy families.

Su Yao looked at each courtyard curiously. From the wide open door, he could see the general situation inside. The layout of the courtyard was similar to the courtyard outside, but strangely, there were almost no people in the courtyard.

Walking all the way, I only saw three or two old people, wearing slightly outdated clothes, looking at Su Yao and the others in surprise.

It is impossible for a village to have only old people, and looking at some clothes drying in the yard, there should be other people.But where did these people go?Why are people not at home and not closing the courtyard door?
Su Yao was curious, and waited until he walked past all the houses before asking: "There are so many houses in the village, are there no people living in them? Not a single young man has seen them all this way?"

After not hearing an answer for a long time, Su Yao looked back, and Director Yan was looking at a corner in a daze.

Following Director Yan's line of sight, Su Yao saw the house in the corner, which looked newer than other houses. In the vegetable field at the gate of the courtyard, there was an old man waving in this direction.

Yan Shoucheng also spotted the old man and asked, "It seems Director Yan is very familiar with that old man?"

Director Yan did not speak, and Jiang Wenzhou explained on his behalf: "That place is the old house of Jun Tao's family, and the old man is Jun Tao's grandfather. Jun Tao is busy with work and rarely comes back. It is rare to see each other once. People are naturally a little excited."

Su Yao understood, but she was still a little curious. Yan Juntao is now a well-known figure outside, and it is not a problem to raise a family. Since he misses his family so much, why doesn't he let the old man follow him.

However, each family has its own way of getting along. Su Yao was curious, but didn't ask.

He just said comfortingly: "When we are sent up the mountain, Director Yan can also go back and have a good meeting with his family and chat."

Yan Juntao also came back to his senses at this time, sorted out his mood, looked away, and answered Su Yao's question: "When the four major families lived in seclusion, they brought not only their own clansmen, but also some slaves. The dwelling at the foot was built by the descendants of those house slaves."

"You don't see people now because they usually go up the mountain to work for the four major families. They will not go home until sunset, and this place will become lively."

Looking up at the sky, the sun is still hanging in the center, and there is still a long time before evening. It seems that today I can't see this place becoming lively.

But I'm still here for a long time, so I'm not in a hurry.

Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng stopped talking, followed Yan Juntao silently, and walked up the mountain.

The way up the mountain is very steep steps, this is the first time for Su Yao to walk this kind of steps, looking back, she is still a little scared.

Fortunately, there are not many such steps. At the end, Su Yao officially saw the Yan family's mansion.

There is a plaque with black gold letters on the gate of Yan's house. The words are majestic and powerful, and it seems that the person who wrote the inscription is also a master.

Looking in from the door of Yan's house, all he could see was a screen wall engraved with a landscape painting.

Looking left and right, what caught the eye was the blue brick wall. Looking at the length of the wall, it could be deduced that the yard was not small.

At this moment, after Yan Juntao whispered a few words with the person guarding the door, Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng were finally allowed to go in.

The Yan family's house is divided into small yards one after another.

Yan Juntao led Su Yao and two people around the courtyard outside, all the way to the northwest corner.

The courtyard on the northwest corner is not big, and there are only two rooms after entering the door.

After leading Su Yao into the gate of the courtyard, Yan Juntao explained: "Today, the Patriarch has something to do and it is inconvenient to see others, so I can only take the two of you to settle down first. When the Patriarch has time to see you, I will take you to pay a visit. .”

"Although this yard is a bit out of the way, it's not far from the jade bed in Yan's mansion, and there are only two yards between the residence of Dr. Jiang and here, so it's more convenient to see a doctor for the child."

Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng read a lot of information about Yan's family, but they were unfamiliar with this place when they actually came to this place.Yan Juntao's arrangement was very appropriate, which made the two of them relax.

When they came to Yan Mansion's territory, they would have to meet the patriarch sooner or later. Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng were not worried about this aspect.

After thanking Yan Juntao for his care, Su Yao asked about Tuantuan's situation: "The child has been in a coma for a long time. Although Doctor Jiang said that there is no serious problem, as a mother, I still hope that I can see a healthy child. I don't know Jiang. Can the divine doctor heal my son first?"

Jiang Wenzhou shook the cattail fan in his hand: "The qi and blood in the child's body are in a peaceful state now. No matter what medicine is used, it will break the current balance. Without the warmth of the jade bed, I dare not do it casually."

"The former owner of the Yan family was in poor health, and this jade bed was specially built for him. Now that the owner has passed away, the jade bed has been temporarily put on hold, but it has always been regarded by the old lady of the Yan family as a sustenance for missing her son, so this The use of the jade bed has to be approved by the owner and the old lady, so you have to wait for a while."

Su Yao frowned after hearing this.

Since it is the emotional sustenance of others, it cannot be taken casually.Su Yao blamed the jade bed for appearing at an inappropriate time, causing trouble for herself.

But after thinking about it, I also blamed myself. When I first heard that the jade bed was useful, I was eager to talk about it. I never thought that in a place I was not familiar with, how could I use other people's things casually.

Yan Shoucheng didn't expect this, and asked back: "Then if the Patriarch is busy and I don't see anyone for a month and a half, won't my son's treatment be delayed for a month?"

Jiang Wenzhou didn't speak, but his expression said it all.

People under the eaves had to bow their heads, Yan Shoucheng was full of anger and was stopped by Su Yao.

"In this case, please trouble Director Yan to make a trip for us and explain the situation of our family to the Patriarch."

While talking, two people came from outside the yard.

It seems that they should be the descendants of the house slaves that Yan Juntao mentioned.

Holding some commonly used items in his hand, he entered the room and saluted respectfully.

"We were sent by the old lady to serve the two distinguished guests."

With someone to help, Yan Juntao didn't need to stay longer: "Since that's the case, if you have any questions, you can just ask the two of them. I will arrange a time as soon as possible for you to meet with the Patriarch."
