When Lan Cao'er and the clan leader arrived, the sky in the east was gradually getting brighter. Accompanying them was a silent middle-aged man, following closely behind the clan leader. When he saw me, the clan leader didn't say anything. I was too surprised. It seemed that Lan Cao'er had explained my identity in advance. Instead, he walked into Granny Liu's room with a solemn look and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma Liu has reallysigh." In the quiet room, we Everyone sat aside, and no one spoke for a long time. The patriarch was a little old man in his early fifties, dressed simply, but with a hint of majesty in his eyebrows. After a while, the patriarch looked at me: "Mr. Chuqi, you It means Luo Yepo from Fangzhaigou came here last night." Hearing this, the silent middle-aged man's face trembled, but he quickly lowered his head and stood silently behind the clan leader. , since he never said a word from beginning to end, I just assumed that he was the patriarch¡¯s follower. Luo Shishi opened his mouth at the right time and said: "Luo Yepo is the priest of Fangzhaigou. When she comes to us, she must be with us." "It has something to do with Granny Liu's death." "I never thought that at this time, the patriarch gave Luo Shishi a cold look, as if to indicate to him that he had no place to speak here, maybe because Luo Shishi was pursuing Lei Wa from Fangzhaigou. The clan leader lost face in front of the clan, so he didn't want to see Luo Shishi. So, I asked Lan Cao'er to inform the clan leader, which is considered to be the right thing to do. The clan leader didn't listen to Luo Shishi's words and simply frowned. He frowned: "The death of the priest is a major event in the village and requires a grand memorial ceremony. But Mr. Chuqi won't let us Wumanggou handle it. What does this mean?" I had expected that the clan leader would not be so easy to talk to. , nodded immediately: "The patriarch is right, the death of the priest cannot be concealed, but why did Granny Liu die in good condition, and why did Luo Yepo from Fangzhaigou visit for no reason? These the patriarch "Have you ever thought about it?" The clan leader opened his mouth and said, "Then what does Mr. Chu Qi think we should do now? If the clan leader knows that I, the clan leader, ignored the death of Granny Liu, where should I put my clan leader's face? , and also, the priest is the person who talks to Yousheng. If there is no priest in a village, it will not be able to pray for Yousheng's blessing. The memorial ceremony must be arranged on a different day, and then a new priest will be selected. If it is delayed ¡¡± ¡°Clan leader, clan leader.¡± As he was talking, there was an urgent cry from a distance outside the yard. It was the clan leader from Wumanggou who came looking for the clan leader. I looked closely and saw that the man¡¯s figure was just standing in the distance. On the hillside outside the courtyard gate, he did not take a step closer. It was obvious that he was afraid of the flowers and plants that harbored poisonous insects at the courtyard gate. The patriarch raised his head and glanced outside, and immediately ordered the middle-aged man behind him: "Go and see what's going on. " "Yes." The middle-aged man replied honestly and strode out of the door. Lan Cao'er and Luo Shishi looked at me hurriedly. I immediately became anxious and slowly looked at the patriarch, Granny Liu. The death cannot be known to the tribe for the time being. Now it depends on the decision of the tribe leader. The tribe leader looked around and sighed softly: "We will wait and see" After a while, the middle-aged man came back quickly and said With a look of horror on his face, he said anxiously as soon as he entered the door: "Clan leader, come out, something happened. " "What. "The patriarch's face changed, and he looked slightly angry: "What happened. " Luo Shishi also stood up and stared at the middle-aged man without blinking. The middle-aged man wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Shishi, and then lowered his head. The leader said: "Yes, it happened over there in Fangzhai Valley" When the clan leader heard this, his expression suddenly calmed down, and he couldn't help but glare at the middle-aged man: "Since it's not our village, why are you panicking?" "The middle-aged man's lips trembled: "Cocoabut it has something to do with Luo Shishi. " "It has something to do with me. "After Luo Shishi heard this, Lao Gao's eyelids suddenly rolled up. It seemed that he could not restrain his unruly character in front of the patriarch. Seeing the middle-aged man's panic expression, it showed that this matter was not a trivial matter. The patriarch calmed down. The look on his face was once again stirred up by the middle-aged man's words. Something happened in Fangzhaigou, and it was related to his son. As a father, he naturally couldn't sit still. Finally, the patriarch slapped the desk angrily. , shouted loudly: "Speak clearly what is going on." "The middle-aged man trembled all over and glanced at Luo Shishi beside him with extremely angry eyes. Compared with the previous honest and friendly attitude, it seemed that looking at Luo Shishi only brought him humiliation, "Fangzhaigou is now There is a rumor going viral, that is, Luo Shishi from Wumanggou and Leiwa, the daughter of Wuzi from Fangzhaigou, did something did Fangzhaigou's daughter despite the objections of the clan leaders and parents of both sides. The clansmen have tied Wuzi's daughter to the sacrificial platform and are preparing to deal with her according to clan rules. " "ah. "LuoShi almost collapsed on the ground, then quickly got up, grabbed the middle-aged man's collar with both hands and roared angrily: "What did you say, Rewashe was tied up by the tribe." "Bad boy, stop." The patriarch stood up and shouted loudly. Luo Shishi gritted his teeth with red eyes, pushed the middle-aged man aside, turned around quickly and shouted to the patriarch: "Rewa and I, what are you doing?" Nothing happened. I haven¡¯t seen her at all these days. Why do they punish her? Why?¡± The patriarch slapped Luo Shishi on the face and instantly saw a trace of blood slipping from the corner of Luo Shishi¡¯s mouth. But Luo Shishi still stood in front of the patriarch with stiff neck, glaring at the patriarch, his father, "I told you to shut up." The patriarch's anger was still there, pointing at Luo Shishi's red and swollen face. He scolded: "You, get out of the way." Luo Shishi curled his lips in frustration, then gritted his teeth and turned around to squat on the side. The sudden change not only overwhelmed them, but also made me at a loss. How could such a thing happen? Luo Shishi has been singing folk songs from a distance for these days and has not met Lei Wa, let alone having any sexual relations. Why do the people of Fangzhaigou believe that Luo Shishi and Lei Wa are not related to each other? The baby had a relationship, could it be Luo Yepo?, This is nothing more than a conspiracy, a conspiracy to frame Wumanggou, and the mastermind must be Luo Yepo. Now that Liu Popo is dead, Wumanggou has no backbone, She is trying to complicate the hatred between the two villages, just to completely suppress Wumanggou. In this way, Luo Yepo's reputation will only become more prosperous in the future, and who else can oppose her, But Luo Yepo How did Po convince their clan leader, and so vaguely believed that Rewa had humiliated the entire village? Why? Looking back, I accidentally saw the equally horrified Lan Cao'er. I suddenly realized that in a village, a sacrifice was being made. In a sense, the status of the master is higher than that of the clan leader. Although the clan leader has the final say on the surface, the clan leader can not listen to the facts told by any clan member, but he cannot disobey the priest's words. Once the priest said something, the patriarch could only listen and believe it, or even be afraid of it. The patriarch may not believe in the priest, but in the good weather and good harvest that the priest prayed for for the tribe. The patriarch glared at the aggrieved man on the side. Luo Shishi, then frowned and asked the middle-aged man: "How could such a thing happen? They can do whatever they want. Don't they take me as the patriarch in their eyes?" The middle-aged man has always been low-key. Nodding his head, even Luo Shishi pushed him without causing him to fight back, but his face was also extremely angry: "Chief, although this is their village's matter, we can't ignore it this time. If we pretend I don¡¯t know, and Wuzi¡¯s daughter was punished by the clan rules. Naluo Shishi naturally confirmed this crime in the hearts of our tribe. Therefore, they cannot be allowed to punish Wuzi¡¯s daughter. In any case, we must make it clear. This matter, otherwise our two villages will probably" After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the patriarch nodded immediately: "You are right. Since it didn't happen, we can't harm innocent children. , this is the grudge between our two villages, and it should be resolved openly and honestly. If the two children are involved, other villages will laugh at it. "The middle-aged man then showed a sad look on his face: "But Fangzhaigou has already taken action. There are more people in their village than ours. I'm afraid we can't solve the current problem even if we go head-on. Besides, such a thing involves punishment I'm afraid Wuzi's daughter won't survive today" "If they dare to hurt Rewa, I will fight them tooth and nail. "In an instant, Luo Shishi jumped up, clenched his fists with both hands and roared loudly. Seeing that he had lost his mind, the middle-aged man immediately strangled Luo Shishi's neck with both hands, preventing him from walking out of the door. "The patriarch did not He scolded Luo Shishi again, but sighed softly: "Aren't they just waiting for us to confront each other head-on? I won't let them do it yet. I will go alone. I will go alone to tell the people in Fangzhaigou that there is Come at me if anything happens, don't hurt innocent children, they are still young and still have a long way to go" The middle-aged man was shocked, even Luo Shishi stopped struggling, and both of them looked at the patriarch, They all said in unison: ¡°No. The clan leader glared: "If there's anything you can do, you two will come with me. Don't make any noise in the village for now, lest the clan members cause trouble. Cao'er will stay here." " "But" The middle-aged man still had a lot of worries. I suddenly stepped forward and said: "The decision of the patriarch is the only way to prevent the situation from getting worse. Although the other party has more people, they will definitely not win with more. The more we The less people there are, the less they dare to act recklessly. "The patriarch opened his eyes slightly: "Mr. Chuqi, youyou also want to"??. " I smiled weirdly: "I only have one purpose in going, which is to meet the elusive Luo Yepo again. When the well water and the river water are in trouble, no one can stop them. "
