Chapter 26: Confrontation
If you want to talk about it seriously, the village chief of Lusi'e Village really didn't mean to say that he didn't know the cockscomb. The real situation is that the village elder doesn't know the young man in his own village in front of him!
The village chief does have the talent of recognizing people, and as long as he has shown his face in front of him, and has said his name and spoken a few words, he can remember it! However, this is a premise, you have to say your name and show your face in front of the village chief! To be honest, the village chief still thought about it for a long time, and found that he still couldn't remember the name, so he hurriedly asked.
"Ahem!" The village chief was a little embarrassed when he saw the cockscomb staring at him in disbelief, and then said: "The young man usually doesn't usually participate in the village gatherings, and he doesn't hunt with the others? I see that you really have some faces, as if you haven't spoken in front of the village chief, right?" If he were an adult, he, the village chief, would have spoken a few words to every adult child at the coming-of-age ceremony, asking for names, and noting who was who
"Yes, village chief! I'm still a few months old before I reach adulthood!" Cockscomb heard the village chief's words, and then he replied in a daze, and reacted. If you think about it, the village chief seems to have only seen a few glances from a distance in his impression, and when his parents were still there, he didn't go out much, and then his parents were gone, but he followed a few relatives everywhere and went out hunting. It's just that later he was tired because he hated hunting or something. After offending his relatives again, he became his own life.
Afterward. He hadn't participated in any of the big hunting events in the village, so naturally it was impossible for him to get in touch with the village chief, and if it weren't for this opportunity, if he had to show up in front of the village chief, it would probably have to wait until his coming-of-age ceremony a few months later
Come to think of it. The rooster comb quickly cheered up, thinking that he wanted to make a good impression by growing a long face in front of the village elder, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "It's the cockscomb's fault! The cockscomb rarely participates in group activities, and he has no chance to speak in front of the village elder, so the village chief is not familiar with the cockscomb."
"Well, I'll just say it! The village chief is not old enough to be like this, and he can't even remember the appearance and name of the children in his own village! Hahaha!" The village chief heard the words of the cockscomb. Hurriedly laughed dryly, then patted the cockscomb on the shoulder, and said to him: "When you go back and wait for your coming-of-age ceremony, the village chief will definitely give you a good blessing!"
"Thank you, village chief" As soon as Ji Guo heard this, he was instantly a little excited. Sure enough, it would be beneficial to show his face in front of the village chief! If he could get special care and blessing from the village chief at the coming-of-age ceremony, he would still be so unknown in the village in the future? It would be easier to say that he was a relative in the future, but not necessarily, and the village chief could introduce the girls of his relatives to him as his daughter-in-law
The cockscomb is wonderfully fantasizing about its future in his heart. He didn't notice at all that the old man next to him was already rolling his eyes in disdain.
"Alright, alright, cockscomb. Now let's make it clear what you just said!" The village elder probably also saw that the cockscomb was distracted, and quickly pulled his thoughts back, and said to him: "Our Lusi'e village is not unreasonable, and the distinguished guests are also here, if we have anything to say, make it clear in person." So as not to be troubled!"
"Yes, village elder" As soon as the cockscomb heard this, he instantly felt that his opportunity had come, so he quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man Qingmi and Ji Xiaoyan, and then turned his head to the other villagers and continued: "I guess everyone doesn't know!
"Oh!
"Downcast?"
"No wonder this kid can say something like that, he has known those distinguished guests for a long time, but why didn't he report it to the village elder?"
"That's right, why didn't he report it to the village chief, and there are people in the village?"
Many villagers immediately started talking.
When the village chief heard this, his face instantly turned a little bad! As the village chief, what he needs is to keep abreast of the situation in the village at all times, in case of emergency, isn't it? The result? This kid called the cockscomb in front of him actually dared to take in the living people for several days without reporting it! This kid doesn't seem to have a good mind!
The rooster couldn't hear the villagers' discussion at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the face of the village elder, and said smugly: "Hmph, you don't know what they were like when they first came! This elder who is said to be a bluestone gate is sitting at the door of my house like a beggar, no, worse than a beggar, and asks me to help As for them, what city lord, aren't they still squatting in the stone pile in despair, enduring the cold wind, and living on barbecue?" They're just a bunch of liars who make up lies to get a good idea of what they want to do in our village."
"What you said is true?" The village chief's face was already a little bad at the moment.
"Of course it's true! Village elder, you have to believe me, I have been with them for several days, one of them said what the elder of the Qingshi Gate, the other said what the city lord was, but they didn't have any ability at all! How could that be! It can only mean that they are all liars" The cockscomb raised his chin, and he stared at the village elder with a look that you must believe me, and what I said was true.
"Well, I can prove that!" said to the village elder with a smile, "This cockscomb is not wrong, when we first arrived here, we were not familiar with the place, and we were indeed wolves! Speaking of which, if we hadn't found his home, we really wouldn't have known that you Lusi'e people lived here."
"So, how many days have you really stayed at Roostercomb's house?" the village chief asked, looking at the old man.
"Well, I've helped him work for a few days" Qingmi said with a smile, and then he looked at the cockscomb and said to him with his eyes: Boy, you can stand it in a while. Didn't you hear what the villagers said? Didn't you see the face of the village elder? You secretly hid that we wanted to benefit ourselves, and the village chief could not ignore it
"Work?" Sure enough, when the village chief heard this, he immediately frowned.
"Yes, do you remember how we met?" The old man looked at the cockscomb as if he had reacted to what he had said, and his face began to turn pale, and then he continued to laugh: "To be honest, when we first came here, our eyes were really black, and we didn't know anything!" Village elder, you may not know, we arrived here, in fact, we are going to Xuanmen, we still have some friendship with the head of Xuanmen, this time I came to visit the results of old friends, who knows, we went wrong when we walked the teleportation array, and this is how we got here."
"You guys came here in the teleportation array?" The village elder's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words of the old man Qingmi. You must know that the biggest problem for the villagers of the Lusi'e tribe who have always lived here is that it is inconvenient to enter and exit. If they usually want to go out to the outside world, they have to go to the Xuanmen and ask someone to open a teleportation array before they can leave! Otherwise, they would have left this ghost place a long time ago!
If it weren't for the fact that the ancestors of their Lusi'e clan had a little favor for Xuanmen, the Xuanmen side promised to open a teleportation array for them several times a year, and it is estimated that the people of their Lusi'e tribe would have to be trapped under this mountain cliff for the rest of their lives.
"Of course!" said the old man nodded, "Otherwise, how do you think we got here, village elder?"
The village chief nodded silently in his heart! Not to mention, the outsiders they had seen before had really fallen from the cliff, but, thinking so in their hearts, the village chief did not have any expression on his face.
The old man Qingmi pulled the thunder kitten and put it in front of the village elder, and immediately said: "Speaking of which, he is still an outer disciple of the Xuanmen! We can come here because of the teleportation array he drew to send us, and we also plan to let him go back to the sect this time."
"Ah, this young man is still a disciple of Xuanmen, and he can also draw a teleportation array!!" The village elder and many villagers looked at the old man Qingmi at this time, and their eyes became even more adoring and fiery. Xuanmen is a very noble person for the people of their Lu Si'e tribe, and now the man in front of him is still a disciple of Xuanmen, and the most important thing is that he can also draw a teleportation array!
This is much more shocking to the villagers than the identity of the elder and the city lord of the bluestone gate.
"Village elder, don't listen to their nonsense! They are all liars!" When the rooster comb heard this, he quickly retorted: "When they came, they were covered in blood, weeds and mud, and they looked like they had fallen from the cliff, and they didn't come from the teleportation array at all! Village elder, I saw it with my own eyes, you have to believe me!"
"Then there is no way! Who let your house of the Lusi'e tribe be built on the cliff!" The old man shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the village chief: "Speaking of which, we did die at that time! I only know that there is a house on the cliff, and I want to ask you for help, and we can't use it if we catch a three-winged four-legged bird, so in the end we can only climb the cliff with both hands to ask for help!
"That cliff is indeed not easy to climb" The village chief smiled dryly, said a word to the old man Qingmi, and then aimed at the cockscomb, unable to tell what it meant in his eyes!
