"Qing-er! You're leading the right way! Why is it still here?" Jiu 'er touched the earthen wall by the roadside and glanced at Li Qing behind her.
"That's right! I usually take this path, but what's going on today? Something's wrong!" Li Qing scratched his head and looked strangely at the walls on both sides.
This road was the main route to the ancestral hall! Why was he walking so strangely now? Li Qing couldn't figure it out for a moment. Since the two of them walked forward together, they had been going back and forth in this place. Some of the roads in the village were built quite similarly. Even Li Qing could not figure out what was going on.
"Then how did you go to the ancestral hall before?”Ling Jiu had lived here for quite some time and had been to the ancestral hall before, but he had never been able to figure out the route before. Every time, a person with the surname Lu from the village was needed to bring it over. Li Qing's mother's surname was Lu, and her father had married into the family. Many people here were in the same situation. If they married into the family and gave birth to a daughter, they would take the father's surname. These children would marry elsewhere sooner or later. If the child was born, he would take his mother's surname and stay here to continue the family business. To put it simply, the boy had to be surnamed Lu, or else he would marry into the family. However, the rules became more and more lax. Now, not only did people with other surnames come here to settle down, but they also married and had children with the original villagers. However, in the hearts of those clansmen with the surname Lu, there was still a grudge.
Surnames were a very strange thing. When you developed to a certain stage, your own people would not be able to reproduce and could only intermarry with other races. Therefore, you had to accept these changes.
The so-called tolerance was probably the result of combining the two over and over again.
"I did it before! My mother told me a mantra,"Ze Ze Ping Ze Ping Ze, Ping Ze Ping Ze". Turn left at Ping and turn right at Ze." Li Qing fiddled with her small hands and hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Then, what went wrong?" When Jiu 'er heard this, she instantly figured it out. After her investigation, the construction of this village did have some tricks, which was why she could not find any patterns in her previous investigations. It seemed that this sentence was the key.
"I finished the first sentence, but before I could start the second sentence, I was stuck here.”
"Think about it again. Are there any mistakes?”
"No, the path we took just now followed the last sentence, but we ended up back here. It should be correct. As for why, I don't know.”Li Qing saw that Jiu 'er had asked, but he could not wave his hand at her.
Jiu 'er sighed when she saw this. She looked at the wall and slowly pondered in her mind. She touched the thing on her waist and then touched her neck. Then, she made up her mind and said, "Qing 'er, you said that you've never encountered such a situation before, right?”
Seeing Li Qing nod seriously, Jiu 'er continued," There's nothing that can be hidden from you now. Listen well. What happens next will affect the future of your village. You can say it like this! If you don't stop what your people are doing as soon as possible, not only will your village be reduced to hell, but the entire capital will be reduced to hell.”
"Listen, go to your ancestral hall now. He must not let them disturb the things below.。。。”Before he could finish, a deafening sound came from the depths of the village, like an explosion. When Jiu 'er heard this, she looked into the depths of the village in horror. Then, she hurriedly said to Li Qing," Look, Qing' er! Your clansmen are already starving to the point of madness. They were using explosives. Listen, listen to me."
Li Qing was also shocked by the explosion. She reached out and touched the two cans in her waist pocket. However, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Jiu 'er. She heard Jiu' er speak seriously and word by word. "Qing 'er, your village is very strange. The ancestral hall never allows outsiders to take half a step closer. I don't know how dangerous the things inside are. I need you to stop your Brother Song from opening the door below. I don't know what's inside. Take it. This jade can protect you in times of danger. Be careful."
Li Qing opened her palm, and the jade was tightly held by Jiu 'er. She looked at Jiu 'er blankly, but the latter was so flustered at the moment, but his eyes were very serious. Li Qing nodded blankly. She saw that Jiu 'er had already retreated to the side, but her eyes were still looking at her. After understanding what she meant, she lifted her feet and walked to the other end of the road. After a few steps, she did not forget to look back at Jiu' er. However, after turning a corner, her footsteps gradually quickened.
In the ancestral hall, the patriarch sat upright on the armchair. At this time, he tried his best to stand straight. Because he was going to use explosives, he moved to the door. Everyone stood behind him obediently. At this moment, a sturdy man walked up to him and stood in front of him with his head lowered."Chief, the explosives are buried."
"Yes, wide! It's all done! Tell everyone to come up! The explosion has begun." The clan leader held his walking stick in front of him with both hands. When he saw that this person had retreated to the side, he moved with the crowd and hid behind the pillar. During this time, two sensible young men supported him. When he hid behind the pillar, he heard a deafening explosion coming from under the ancestral hall. The entire ancestral hall shook, and the ground shook a little.
After a puff of thick smoke, everyone regained their calm. The clan leader sat back on the armchair. Seeing a strong man running from the direction of the explosion, he cupped his hands and said,"Chief, the door is open." There were indeed some rare treasures inside. Gold, silver, jade, and everything else.”
The people behind the clan leader widened their eyes when they heard this, and a look of ecstasy appeared on their faces. Hearing the commotion behind him, the tribe leader revealed a satisfied smile. The tribe leader cleared his throat and the commotion stopped. He slowly said,"Everyone! They all saw it! However, this was not enough. The village could not continue to be poor. Everyone, work hard. Come, take out all the food that you exchanged for a while ago.”The clan leader grinned and waved his hand behind him. Then, people carrying dustpans walked over from the surroundings and placed them in front of everyone. At this moment, they also happily picked up the bread and steamed buns and began to eat.
The clan leader let out a long sigh and said,"Everyone, do your best!" There were still many people in the village! Go! Go do your work! Heavy, heavy! Continue, continue."
Song Zhong glanced at Da Kuan, and the two of them looked at each other. Then, they stuffed the steamed buns in their hands into their mouths and drank a few mouthfuls of water. Then, they called for a few more people to take turns.
When he was packing up his tools, Song Zhong saw a middle-aged man in a gray cotton-padded jacket stuffing a bun into the hands of a child. When the two of them saw Song Zhong looking at them, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Song Zhong without moving. Song Zhong said," Niannian, you can't tell anyone about the bun your father gave you! Also, stop running around in the ancestral hall. It'll save your father the trouble of others poking at his backbone."
When the middle-aged man heard Song Zhong say that, he smiled embarrassedly. Then, he patted Niannian's back, and Niannian hid at the side with the steamed bun.
The middle-aged man picked up his tools and followed behind him. When he left, he did not forget to look back at the child. He wiped his tears and left without looking back.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, the clan leader gently turned his head to look outside the ancestral hall. He stood up again and looked at the earth wall built in the village from afar. He slowly said,"I hope this array that hasn't been built for many years can hold you guys back for a while!"”
A soft cry and shout could be heard coming from the mud wall. The sound slowly entered the clan leader's ears, and then he actually grinned.。。
On the road in the village, two young men in martial master uniforms quickly ran over from afar. One of the young men saw a woman squatting on the sword ground from afar. After getting closer to see her face, he could not wait to shout," Jiu 'er, Jiu' er!”
When Jiu 'er heard this familiar voice, she turned around and saw the young man. Then, she quickly jumped up and ran towards this person. Before she reached him, she fell into his arms. After a moment of joy, Jiu 'er stood beside this person. When she saw another young man looking at her, she said in embarrassment," Lord Marquis, I've made a fool of myself."”
On the contrary, this person pretended to be cold. When he saw Jiu 'er greeting him, he ignored her and only said coldly," Third Miss of the Lin family, speak! What was that explosion just now?"
Jiu 'er saw that her brother was also looking at her, so she said unclearly," I don't know either. It should be those people who opened the first door! However, I don't know what the outcome will be.”
"Then what are you doing here? Why aren't you watching?”
"Look at this road. The people in the village obviously don't want us to go over smoothly. It seems like they have made up their minds."
The three of them looked at the mud wall in the village. Li Pingluo slowly approached it and reached out to touch it. However, as soon as he touched it, he was shocked. He looked at the earth wall in disbelief, then took out his sword and stabbed it at the earth wall.
The originally dry wall slowly became moist, and a bright red liquid flowed out from the earthen wall. As the bright red liquid flowed out, cries and cries came from the wall. Bang! Bang!
The continuous wall of earth suddenly stretched out pale arms from within, and those arms waved to grab the three of them. Soon after, footsteps could be heard from afar. Li Pingluo raised his sword in front of him. From afar, it could be seen that the follow-up troops from both sides had arrived.
But at this moment, the dirt road was already covered by the bright red liquid that flowed down from the hole. Countless arms stretched out from the surrounding walls, but they didn't stop. The arms slowly broke free until pale walking corpses came out from the walls and walked towards these people.
Jiu 'er looked at this scene in disbelief. She shrank behind her brother. The latter was also frowning, not knowing what to do.
However, Li Pingluo had already recovered his composure. He was already prepared for such a situation. He shouted," General Shouluo's residence is here. All evil shall be killed!"!!”
