Chapter 1316: Tanquan Night Visit
"Smack!"
Holding Ning Chuan in one hand, and lightning fast in the other, a slap was slapped on the face of the Great Elder, and the crisp voice was extremely loud in the cold and snow workers.
"How they died, don't you, the Great Elder, know best?"
Jiang Nu didn't know what happened last night, but needless to say, she also thought that it was those men in black who killed the two villagers.
As for what happened to Ning Chuan, she still has no way to know.
After speaking, Jiang Nu didn't look at him, helped Ning Chuan, and crashed straight forward.
"Hugh is rude!"
The Third Elder stood up and stood in front of the Great Elder, murderous.
"If you kill someone and want to leave, arrest the two of them!"
"Such a person, who knows if he will harm the patriarch!"
"That is, we must give justice to the dead, although our village is small, but it is definitely not something that anyone can provoke!"
Countless villagers began to crusade against the two, and as their voices increased, the murderous aura on Jiang Nu's body became more and more intense, and around her, there was already a red murderous aura lingering around her.
"Everyone, we believe that Ning Danshi and Miss Jiang will not kill people, what is the secret in this, we still need to investigate, don't slander good people!"
Tan Quan walked out from behind the Great Elder and spoke for Ning Chuan and the others, but unfortunately, their voices were quickly drowned out by the voices of the villagers, and now Tan Quan's words are too low and too low in the hearts of the villagers.
"Enough! Come in, I've got something to announce!"
The voice of the patriarch of Tantu sounded from the alchemy room, and the voices of the villagers outside gradually stopped.
After a night, Tan Tu's face was much haggard, and he didn't know how much worse than the complexion of the previous two days.
"Brother, are you alright?"
Seeing that Tan Tu was weakened again, Tan Quan also forgot the title of patriarch for the time being, and directly called his eldest brother.
One after another, the villagers outside also entered the alchemy room, which was originally very empty, but now it is very crowded.
"The death of the two children has nothing to do with Ning Chuan, don't embarrass him!"
Seeing that everyone was together, Patriarch Tantu said slowly.
"Then who killed my son? Could it be that we are from the village? Patriarch, you must be the master of us!"
As soon as the old woman heard that the patriarch wanted to exonerate Ning Chuan, she immediately knelt down, tears falling down her eyes, and she was heartbroken.
"Alas!"
Who's it? or anyone in this room!
It's just that this is something that can't be said, after the Tantu patriarch sighed, he continued: "It's the enemy who was outside before, they want to kill me, it's their resistance and Ning Chuan's help, I didn't die!"
"No, patriarch, it must be Ning Chuan's little boy who lied to you, he killed you, right?"
The old woman raised her head, her eyes flashing a little fiercely, obviously unwilling to believe Tantu's statement.
"I'm here today to announce something to you!"
Ignoring the old woman anymore, Tan Tu glanced at the surrounding villagers, and said with a heavy heart: "From today onwards, I will no longer hold the position of patriarch, as for who will be in the future, you can decide for yourself!"
"Patriarch, this must not be!"
When Tan Quan heard this, he immediately shouted.
No one in this village understood better than him what it meant for them and for the entire village that Tantu had stepped down as patriarch.
"Patriarch, this must not be!"
After a short period of calm, everyone in the alchemy room knelt down and pleaded.
Seeing so many people pleading, Tan Tu couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, but he also understood what the man in black said last night, if he didn't do what they said, Tan Le's girl would be lost.
"Think of it as the last thing I do for you, for you!"
Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Tantu continued: "Ning Chuan is powerless to heal me, and when this potion loses its medicinal properties, it will be the time of my death, so do you understand why I want to remove the position of patriarch?"
After a night of adjustment, the mood of the patriarch of Tantu has completely calmed down, and from his words, no one heard anything unusual, as if he really stepped down from the position of patriarch because of his short life.
What happened last night, Patriarch Tantu was reluctant to say, it was a matter between their elders, and he always hoped that in the hearts of the villagers, the village would always be so good, there would be no quarrels, no magnates.
"Patriarch!"
Tan Quan's eyes were filled with tears, he couldn't accept Tan Tu's resignation as patriarch, let alone the fact that his brother's life was not long.
"Let's disperse, bury those two children well, I'm tired and want to rest!"
Waving his hand, Tan Tu's voice was full of powerlessness, the words just now exhausted his life's strength, and now he is like ashes, and he no longer has the belief to live.
The people in the alchemy room gradually dispersed, leaving only Tan Quan inside, and it was not until a long, long time later that Tan Quan came out of it, and when he came out, Tan Quan's eyes were red, and in that house, no one knew how many tears he shed.
On this day, Tantu stepped down from the position of patriarch, and the great elder confessed and became the acting patriarch, of course, there was no ceremony, the whole village was hung with white flags, and a funeral was held for the two who died.
On the other side, Jiang Nu had already taken Ning Chuan back to the room, but Ning Chuan was still lying on the bed as if he had lost his soul, staring at the ceiling, and his brain had lost the ability to think, no matter how Jiang Nu called, she never paid attention to Ning Chuan.
"Smack!"
couldn't bear it, Jiang Nu couldn't bear it, and slapped Ning Chuan in the face, hoping to wake him up.
It's just that such a pain is nothing at all for Ning Chuan, the slap fell on Ning Chuan's face, and Ning Chuan didn't even blink his eyes.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Seeing that there was no effect, Jiang Nu completely collapsed, she lay on Ning Chuan's body and whimpered in a low voice.
At this time, she was even blaming herself for her sleep last night, if she had followed Ning Chuan out, maybe what happened now would not have happened.
It's a pity that there is no if, everything has already happened, he only hopes that Ning Chuan can cheer up now, and then leave the village, ignoring everything bad here.
"Tell me! What the hell happened! Didn't you say that you had something to carry together?"
Jiang Nu slapped Ning Chuan's chest while the pear blossoms brought rain, since she knew Ning Chuan, she had never seen Ning Chuan lose his soul now, and in the same way, she didn't cry so miserably.
At this moment, Jiang Nu knew how many positions Ning Chuan occupied in her heart.
I cried for a whole day, even if Jiang Nu was a ghost cultivator, she was tired of crying at this time, and before she knew it, she fainted from crying.
And the mourning joy in the village gradually stopped as night fell.
The village was restored to peace, but it could not dispel the gloom in everyone's hearts, and the old patriarch relieved himself of his heavy responsibilities and announced that he would die in the near future, which was even more difficult for them to accept.
Many people here have grown up under the watchful eye of the patriarch, and for them, Tantu is like an elder, and the elder is dying, who is not sad?
......
"Since you're here, let's come in!"
At night, Ning Chuan, who had been in a daze, suddenly spoke into the night, and soon after his voice fell, the door was pushed open.
"Who!"
Jiang Nu, who had fainted from crying, slowly woke up after hearing the voice, and the alertness in her heart made her stand up immediately.
"It's me, Miss Jiang!"
It was Tan Quan, his face was also a little haggard, and the silver threads on his head seemed to have increased a lot in a day.
"Elder Tanquan, is Tanle back?"
Without sitting up, Ning Chuan asked softly, after all, this Tanle was exchanged for the life of the Tantu patriarch.
"Uh-huh!
Tan Quan replied simply, and after a pause, he continued: "Ning Chuan, can I ask you to continue to heal the patriarch, just ...... I'm begging you!"
Saying that, Tanquan was about to kneel down, but Jiang Nu's eyes were quick and she held Tanquan up and didn't let him kneel.
They were indeed disgusted by the elders and others in the village, but Tan Quan was not disgusted, and Ning Chuan could not afford the kneeling of the elders.
During the day, when everyone left, Tan Quan stayed in the alchemy room, and talked to Tan Tu about all kinds of happy things in the past, and the more he told him, the more reluctant he became.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that the patriarch gave up!"
Taking a deep breath, Ning Chuan's eyes were red, and he gradually recovered from his sluggishness, but there was an extra layer of fog in his eyes.
"Gave up?"
Tan Quan asked suspiciously, nodded, and Ning Chuan told him what happened in the alchemy room last night.
"There is such a thing?"
Tan Quan trembled with anger, and he wondered why, as soon as he entered the door, Ning Chuan asked Tan Le if he had come back, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret in this.
At the same time, he also knew how heavy the sacrifice Tantu had made for him.
"The more this happens, the more I can't give up!"
Tan Quan's eyes flashed with a fine light, these people in black, although he was not sure of their identities, but he already had some guesses in his heart, after all, for more than a year, he had secretly gotten a lot of news!
"That's right! If we don't get these people out, there will be peace in the countryside in the future."
Jiang Nu also echoed on the side, in fact, she didn't think too much about the future of the village, she just wanted to find out those who had hurt Ning Chuan, and then let them pay the price of their lives.
"But what can we do with them watching in the dark?"
Shaking his head weakly, Ning Chuan smiled bitterly.
It's not that he didn't want to do it in secret, but the entire village is under the surveillance of the men in black, and their every move will be known, in this case, what can he do as an outsider?
"With my help, it's different!"
Tan Quan smiled slightly, obviously knowing what Ning Chuan was worried about, he leaned on Ning Chuan's ear and whispered something, and gradually, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up.
