Chapter 2 Where Has the System Gone?

…

But after a while, there was no response.

No way? Wang Shouzhe's heart skipped a beat. Time traveling without a golden finger would be a bit confusing, wouldn't it? Later, Wang Shouzhe tried again and again, but there was no trace of the golden finger.

His heart was getting colder and colder. There were so many masters in this fantasy world, and ferocious beasts were so domineering. How could he play without a golden finger?

"It seems that we can only take one step at a time." Wang Shouzhe's expression was a little solemn, but he soon felt relieved. Even without the golden finger, he still had some advantages.

At least after merging his memories, he found that although there are many experts in this world, they are not as good as the people on earth in terms of people's livelihood development and advanced thinking, even if he is just an office worker who graduated from an ordinary university...

Just when Wang Shouzhe was about to summarize his advantages.

Suddenly, Wang Gui, the young man outside, rushed in in a panic: "Master, Master, something bad has happened. The Sixth Master was beaten. He sent someone back to ask for help."

Sixth Master?

Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, and memories came back: "It's the sixth uncle Wang Dinghai."

Wang Dinghai is Wang Shouzhe's clan uncle, ranking sixth among the male generation with the given name Ding. He has ordinary qualifications and average cultivation, but he is good at water skills, so he is in charge of the fishing fleet, one of the family businesses.

Now that Wang Dinghai was beaten, it should be that there were changes in the family-owned fishing fleet, and it was a good opportunity to observe the world with his own eyes.

"Calm down, how can you be so flustered?" Wang Shouzhe thought about this and calmed down. After scolding, he said calmly, "Prepare the carriage, let's go take a look."

"Yes, head of the family." Wang Gui responded hurriedly and ran away to prepare for the trip.

Wang Shouzhe walked out of the room according to his memory and walked slowly towards the main door of the main house. He observed the various building facilities and structures of the main house along the way and confirmed them one by one with the memories in his mind.

On the way, I happened to see my aunt Gongsun Hui leading several family generals with a solemn face and hurried towards the main gate.

Wang Shouzhe saluted Gongsun Hui: "I've met my aunt."

Wang Shouzhe, whose memory has been fused, already knows that he lost his mother when he was young. Gongsun Hui was the first wife of his late father, Wang Dingyue, and they had a legitimate daughter named Wang Luomiao, who is eight years old this year.

Therefore, although Gongsun Hui is Wang Shouzhe's biological mother, she is not his biological mother. However, she has a kind nature and always regards Wang Shouzhe as her own child and takes good care of him in all aspects.

This is quite different from the formula of ordinary fantasy novels.

As soon as Gongsun Hui saw Wang Shouzhe, she stepped forward and took his hand, with a look of concern on her face: "Zheer, why are you out? Have you had a meal? Are you feeling better?"

The other generals also hurriedly bowed to Wang Shouzhe.

"Auntie, I'm fine. I've finished the spiritual meal you ordered me to prepare. I'll talk to you later in detail." Wang Shouzhe calmly broke away from her hand and said solemnly, "Auntie leads the general. Could it be that you are going to support Uncle Six? I will go with my aunt."

Gongsun Hui's face darkened, and after a moment of hesitation he said, "Zhe'er, since you have inherited the position of clan leader, you will face these things sooner or later. Since you are fine, let's go and have a look together."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two of them walked out of the main entrance of the main house together. On the plaque at the main entrance were written the words "Ping'an Wang Family" with flying phoenixes. The momentum was extraordinary.

But with the mottled painted pillars and the white lanterns with the word "Dian" floating in the wind, it highlights the desolation of the Wang family's decline.

"Master, Madam Gongsun, the carriage is ready." Wang Gui, the personal servant, trotted over. "The sword and bow and arrow have been placed on the carriage."

After a brief discussion, Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui rode in a carriage together, and the other four generals each rode yellow geldings to guard them, heading all the way to Dingpu Ferry in Anjiang.

On the way, Gongsun Hui will describe the causes and consequences one by one.

Wang Shouzhe, who has a past and present thinking, quickly figured out the actual situation. Anjiang is a large river with a width of several hundred feet. The river has rich and unique aquatic products, and the fishing fleet can generate long-term economic benefits.

But where there are interests, there are often conflicts. Naturally, none of the three major families in Ping'an Town is willing to give up this piece of fat. After various battles and compromises, now the three major families in Ping'an have defined their own territories and do not cross each other's boundaries.

Thirty miles from the right of Dingpu Ferry to the rocky beach of Anjiang River is the water area of ​​​​the Ping'an Wang family.

It's just that in recent years, the talents of the other two aristocratic families have continued to rise in large numbers, and their appetites have grown. And with the overall territory limited, it is naturally easy to stick their chopsticks into other people's pots.

The cannibalization plan has been going on for a long time, and the family's territory and industry are shrinking year after year. The smaller the territory, the more scarce resources will be, and it will be more difficult for tribesmen to grow without resources, thus falling into a vicious cycle.

What makes the situation even worse is that the ancestor of the Wang family, the Dinghai God Zhen Longyan, seems to be getting worse every year. He has been in seclusion for the past few years. Even if such a big thing happened at home, he did not show up. The outside world will inevitably speculate on whether she can still fight.

The situation is not optimistic. Wang Shouzhe frowned.

It is said that the Wang family's main residence is built near mountains and rivers, only more than ten miles away from Dingpu Ferry. The roadbed is hard and maintained all year round. Another outpost general opened the way. The road was smooth and the carriage arrived in less than half an hour.

When this ferry was first built in Ping'an Town, it was already one of the outposts of the Changning Guard. After more than a hundred years of development in Pingan Town, Dingpu Ferry has become an important transportation artery connecting the north and the south.

Ping'an Sanshijia has infrastructure such as docks, ferries, and shops here.

There are some simple defense facilities at the ferry. The city wall is quite simple, only five or six meters high, and can only withstand the impact of small-scale ferocious beasts.

After Wang Shouzhe and his party entered the ferry, they went straight to the deep water pier. Under the long wooden structure trestle, there are giant wooden pillars surrounded by arms, which lift the trestle all the way to a depth of three to four feet. There are two more horizontal trestles in the deep water area, forming berths.

There are ships of different sizes docked at the berth, including ferries, merchant ships, and fishing boats.

Looking from a distance, I saw two groups of people confronting each other at the end of the trestle. Both sides were holding sticks, knives and forks, and their emotions were very violent.

"Wang Laoliu, you are very courageous. You dare to bring people to block your Yongzhou master. Do you think he didn't beat you hard enough?" A young man's joking and mocking voice sounded.

"You little brat of the Liu family." Another man roared with excitement and anger, "Aren't you just sneaking into the water for a sneak attack? If you are a man, let's just rely on our own abilities and go into the water to fight with real swords and guns. You, the sixth master of the Wang family, teach you, a bastard, how to behave."

"Wang Laoliu, don't blame me for looking down on you. You are a dog at this age and you don't have any brains." The young man's voice sneered, "Underwater ambush is one of the tactics of war. Is it possible to fight?" Do we have to declare in advance that we are not allowed to use tactics? Haha, the more we live, the more we go back. Why not get out of Ping'an Town early to avoid wasting food."

The group of young people burst into laughter, and followed the young people to boo, get out of Ping An Town, get out of Ping An Town.

Dingpu Ferry was crowded with people, and there were many travelers and merchants gathering there. At this time, everyone had gathered around to watch the excitement, and there were constant discussions.

Today's conflict will inevitably spread to other places with their feet and tongue. As the loser in this conflict, the Ping'an Wang family will also become a laughing stock and a topic of conversation after dinner, which will undermine the power of the Wang family.

"You little brat from the Liu family." The man's face turned red and he was extremely angry. "You've gone too far to bully others. Your sixth master will fight with you!"

"Old dog of the Wang family, come here if you have the guts!"

A battle between the two sides was about to break out.

"Stop!" Seeing the urgency of the situation, Gongsun Hui hurriedly walked to the middle of the confrontation to stop him, "Wang Dinghai, Liu Yongzhou, please calm down first and talk to us if you have anything to say."

Wang Shouzhe was afraid that his aunt would suffer a loss, so he waved his hand, and four generals from the Wang family rushed forward to protect Gongsun Hui. And he followed closely behind, continuing to observe everything coldly.

On-site observation and memory told him that the young man who looked a little careless and dressed in a close-fitting bodysuit with a short blade hanging on his waist was called Liu Yongzhou, a member of the Liu family.

Rumor has it that this boy is good at water fighting, especially the art of water escape. He once dived with a short blade to hunt and kill a first-order ferocious beast, the red-scaled eel, which weighed more than two hundred kilograms. He became famous at the age of twenty-three or four, and was Ping'an Liu. Shi Qianliju.

The other man was lean and dark-skinned, and he looked like he had been living on the water for a long time. It's just that his head and arms were stained, and he looked a little embarrassed with some linen wrapped around him.

That was Wang Shouzhe's clan uncle, Wang Dinghai, who was specifically responsible for the family's fishing operations in the waters of influence. He was also very good at water warfare, fishing and hunting, and was also the main catcher of the red-tailed griffon that Wang Shouzhe ate earlier.

"Oh, it turns out to be Mrs. Gongsun of the Wang family." The young man named Liu Yongzhou casually handed over his hand with a smile. Then he mocked Wang Dinghai with disdain, "Wang Laoliu, you and I, a junior, have some conflicts, and you even moved out the clan sister-in-law to support you. Yongzhou admires you and feels ashamed."

"You..." Wang Dinghai's dark face turned dark red.
