C1499 Fifth Uncle of the Artemisia Family

"Hao Family Town."2

After arriving at the town, Wendu began to feel suspicious. He noticed that the people here were all giving Hao Xiangxiang a kind smile and giving him a strange look.

"Xiangxiang, I feel like they're all looking at me strangely." Wendu couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry about it. There aren't many outsiders in this town, so they are suspicious of the people who suddenly show up." When she finished, Hao Xiangxiang raised her eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Wendu asked.

Hao Xiangxiang hesitated and said, "I just thought it was strange. Usually, there aren't many people in the town at this time of the day, but why are there so many?"

At this time, Pan Qiqi, who had been following the two of them silently, spoke up as well. "Aunt, I think something must have happened."

Hao Xiangxiang nodded. "I guess so. Let's not talk about it for now. We'll find out when we get to Fifth Uncle's place."

"Fifth Uncle?" Wendu was even more confused.

"I said it's the most senior person in this town. You'll know when you get there." Hao Xiangxiang didn't seem to want to explain.

"Fine." Wendu could only nod helplessly and quickly followed behind Hao Xiangxiang.

Along the way, Wendu saw a lot of people, if not 300, then at least 200. Although he still had many doubts, but he didn't choose to ask. He believed that Hao Xiangxiang would tell him at that time.

The three of them arrived at a shabby courtyard. Under the jujube tree, there sat an old man who looked to be in his fifties. Beside the old man were two young men who seemed to be talking about something.

"Fifth Grandpa, we've already done our best. Even if we've found some good doctors, they're still not willing to walk 80 miles into the deep mountains."

"Yeah, Fifth Grandpa, I think this system should be changed. After all, it would be inconvenient to let all the ancestors stay in the mountains without a single person to serve them. Do you want to bring Grandfather out?"

The old man on the chair did not even open his eyes, "That is our core. Without us there, we would not be here. This is a legacy that hasn't been changed for hundreds of years. It would be a bit too much of a joke if it were changed by just one person."

"But Great Grandfather …"

Before the young man could finish, the old man raised his hand and interrupted him, "There's no need for that. Since those quack doctors are unwilling, then let them leave."

At this moment, Hao Xiangxiang walked up to them. "Fifth Uncle, I've come back. I heard from my two cousins that Great Grandfather seems to be sick?"

Only then did the old man open his eyes and reveal a faint smile. "Xiangxiang is finally willing to come back. Oh, Qiqi, you've come to visit your grandfather."

He then turned to look at Wendu: "Who is this young man?"

"My name is Wendu, I'm Xiangxiang's colleague." Wendu touched his nose and said awkwardly.

"Incredible young man, I didn't think that you would be able to reach such a position at such a young age, that's great."

After praising Wendu, the old man finally answered Xiangxiang's question, "After all, your great-grandfather is too old. It's inevitable that he will get sick."

"What's the situation now? Have you gotten better? " Hao Xiangxiang asked hastily.

The old man shook his head gloomily. "He's already in bed. I don't think he'll be able to hold on much longer."

"That's right. "What is your purpose for coming back?"
