Chapter 37 Every Second Counts
Mojia Council Hall.
Today, all the stewards of the Mo family, none of them are absent, except for the three Mo Xiao who are in the upper position, and the two rows below have a total of ten seats are all the real power elders of the Mo family.
"Patriarch, we have already dealt with all the compensation, except for the two people who were compensated 30,000 and 10,000 gold coins respectively, the rest were compensated according to three times the original price, a total of 150,000 gold coins. It was Mo Fubao, the head of the Mo family's account, who opened his mouth to report the results of the compensation to the man in black shirts above, and when he reported the final amount, he could clearly hear the slight tremor in his voice.
There were also many people here who gasped after hearing that the total amount of compensation was "150,000". Rao is the Mo family's great business, and it can't withstand such a huge loss.
Elder Mo Xiong of Yanwutang slammed a row of tables and snorted: "In my opinion, the two people before were relying on the fact that our clan was on the cusp at this moment, and they were sure that we would tolerate it everywhere, so they dared to open their mouths." If you hadn't stopped me just now, I wouldn't have beaten them so much that I wouldn't even recognize my own mother. ”
"The fault for letting the family suffer such humiliation is all mine. Mo Qian, ashamed of family cultivation. The apologetic handsome man clasped his knees tightly with his hands, his eyes lowered and his expression darkened, showing a haggard state. He is the steward of the Mojia temple fair, and the incident occurred in the area under his jurisdiction, and no matter what the reason, it must be difficult to escape the blame. At this time, his pressure and guilt are huge, you can imagine.
"There has been such a big mistake in the supervision of the temple fair, it's time for you to introspect. After being comfortable for so long, the blood is almost worn out, how lazy those wine bags and rice bags are, how perfunctory the inspection is, you know better than everyone here!" It is an elder of the Discipline Hall who has always regarded the rules of the clan as survival and cannot be crossed at all, and he abides by the rules.
"After this matter is settled, I will go to the Discipline Hall to be punished. The green tendons on the back of Mo Qian's hand burst out, but it was not because he was dissatisfied with the old man's mean words, but more because of self-blame and anger at the culprit's treacherous and obscene methods.
"Hmph. Conformist snorted coldly, and did not be aggressive anymore.
The rest of the elders looked at each other, that is, no one came forward to be a peacemaker to alleviate the gloomy and dull atmosphere at the moment, but no one added fuel to the fire. So there was silence in the hall.
"Ahem...... Mo Xiao coughed lightly twice and said, "The Mo family is everyone's Mo family, not the Mo family made up of every elder's jurisdiction. The foundation of our people's existence lies in the four words of 'solidarity and solidarity'. Therefore, if something happens, everyone has their own responsibilities, if once a disaster occurs, it is completely blamed on one person, how can we, who are big, pass on this concept to the clansmen below? Mo Qian bears the main responsibility, and all of us who sit here should also be vigilant, clear up the loose wind in their respective jurisdictions, and keep the lesson of this time firmly in our bones. This incident has given us a blow in the face, it's time to wake up, and take this opportunity to reorganize the Mo family's style and defend against the enemy!"
"Yes......" The ten people below said in unison, but the sound was different.
"What did Master Duan Tie say over there?" Mo Xiao asked as he looked at Mo Qian.
Master Duan Tie analyzed that the material structure of iron in the iron tool was destroyed, and at the same time, the iron ore pith contained in the iron tool was extracted by an extremely treacherous method, resulting in the passivation of the iron tool, just like the grass and trees were drained of water, and they would inevitably face depletion and dilapidation. Mo Qian replied.
"Is there a solution?" Mo Xiao asked.
"Master Duan Tie has been researching, and at present...... Not very smooth. After Mo Qian finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
Mo Gu couldn't help but scold: "Special Niang, this group of dogs, what kind of ghost and demon tricks are you!"
At this time, the man in the black shirt, who had not said a word from beginning to end, suddenly opened his eyes and closed his eyes, looking out of the hall, his eyebrows sank. The next moment, the girl appeared in his sight with a young man covered in blood. The man in the black shirt slammed to his feet.
The girl cried bitterly at this side of the hall: "Daddy, save Brother Mo Xiao, he ...... He's dying......"
Demon Beast Mountains.
Surrounded by jungle and shaded by trees. At this moment, in the dense forest, two figures leaped between the branches of the trees, one in front of the other, and from time to time observed the situation behind them with their peripheral vision, their breath was disordered, and their minds were low and tense.
"Qinghe, are you okay?" Mo Ling asked, as he spoke, the few blood marks crawling on Qingxiu's cheeks writhed in pain, not terrifying, only embarrassed. The clothes were in tatters, and when the torn brocade robe was blown up by the rushing wind, the blood under the brocade robe could be faintly seen.
The situation of Mo Qinghe behind him seemed to be a few points worse than him, his bloody right hand was constantly trembling, but he was still holding the jet-black cold spear tightly, and his eyebrows were tightly locked together because of the severe pain on his sharp and cold face.
"I'm fine. The indifferent boy replied stubbornly.
Mo Ling gritted his teeth, "A few sinister and cunning bugs, the ghosts are still lingering. ”
Behind them, several sounds of breaking wind came, and among the dense branches and leaves, five figures suddenly tore open the leaf curtain and burst out of the air.
The man at the head shouted at Mo Ling and the two in front of him: "Give up, the green mountains and green waters here, isn't it just right to dig a tomb and erect a monument?"
Mo Ling turned around and joked: "If you want to stand on your own, you have to be willing to be buried here, and I will come to your grave every year in the future, rain or shine." ”
"Count me in. Mo Qinghe echoed.
Mo Ling laughed even louder: "Did you hear it, even my family Qinghe said that he was going to give you a grave, and I don't know how much shit you stepped on in your last life, bastard, can have this good luck." ”
The angry man gritted his teeth and said with a hideous face: "You still have a hard mouth when you die, see if I don't pull out your tongue completely!"
Mo Ling made a frightened expression, "Qinghe, did you hear, he said that he was going to pull out my tongue, did you say that the people of the Mu family are so perverted? It seems that I can't be planted here, what if he is also interested in other parts of my body?"
"The yin-yang man I used to stab through with one shot also has this quirk. Mo Qinghe said.
Mo Ling laughed and said, "You mean he's also a yin and yang person?"
"It's going to rot ass. Mo Qinghe added.
Mo Ling showed a pitying expression and turned around and shouted behind him: "Did you hear it, my family Qinghe said that it will be rotten, I advise you to go back as soon as possible and ask the doctor of Cuichun Pavilion to take a look, otherwise it will be delayed for a long time, and even the old doctor Liu, who is terminally ill and rejuvenated, will not be able to save you." ”
The man's face was pale, and he almost didn't step on the trunk of the tree under his feet, and said angrily: "Don't run if you're brave enough, I'll try to see if it's the knife in my hand or your sharp teeth!"
"If you say don't run, don't run, then wouldn't I be very shameless?" Mo Ling pouted and said.
But the next moment, he really stepped on a tree trunk and stopped, and the joke on his face instantly froze.
Because not far ahead, a middle-aged man looked at the two of them with a smile on his hand, as if he had been waiting for the rabbit for a long time.
Mo Ling's Adam's apple rolled up and down with difficulty, and a drop of cold sweat hurriedly slipped down the corner of his forehead. Mo Qinghe stood beside Mo Ling with a spear, and his eyes were full of surging battle intent that looked at death as if he were at home.
"If the two most vivid seeds of the Mo family die here today, do you think Mo Liefeng and they will be so sad and indignant that they want to kill themselves?" The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth grinned at an exaggerated angle, and he was so excited that he almost forgot himself.
Mo Ling sneered, "The Mu family really looks up to the two of us, and even the second elder has personally stepped out?!"
——
"Old Liu, how is Xiao'er's situation?"
Mo Gu, the second elder of the Mo family, bent down, anxiously and gently, and asked Liu Chunfeng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. This Cuichun Pavilion Master, who had excellent medical skills, put one hand on the unconscious Mo Xiao's pulse on the bed, frowning from time to time, and stretching from time to time, this change has lasted for a long time.
Liu Chunfeng stroked his beard, slowly withdrew his hand, and said slowly: "There is damage to all the internal organs, and the most important thing is the dantian, which is almost broken. I'm afraid, nine deaths ......"
It came to an abrupt end.
What about a lifetime? Is there no life for nine deaths?
Mo Gu on the side was almost desperate, a few strands of blood oozed from his eyes, and his voice trembled and asked: "Liu Lao really has no other way?" You are the most skilled person in Yaobei City, if even you are helpless, then who else can save my family Xiao'er? Liu Lao, please think of another way, as long as you can save my child's life, even if he wants me to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, my Mo Gu will never frown!"
In the end, Mo Gu actually knelt down on one knee directly at Liu Chunfeng with his hands in fists, "I implore Liu Lao Miao to use the holy hand to save my son!"
Seeing this, the maids behind him immediately knelt down and said in unison: "I implore Elder Liu." ”
Liu Chunfeng's eyes flashed for a moment of uncertainty, and he quickly got up and helped Mo Gu up, "Elder Mo Gu Why is this, it is the duty of our doctors to save the dead and help the wounded, even if Elder Mo Gu doesn't say it, I will definitely do everything I have learned all my life to heal and save Mo Xiao Gongzi, why do you need to make this great gift and ask for it? You hurry up!"
Mo is incompetent, so he can only thank Liu Lao for his great kindness. Mo Xiao said sadly.
"If the old man can really save your son from the ghost gate, it will be too late for the second elder to thank me. Liu Chunfeng turned around and groaned, "But because I was too hasty when I came and didn't prepare properly, I also asked Elder Mogu to let me go back first, and after I have drawn up a perfect treatment plan, I will come to treat Moxiao Gongzi." There is no room for sloppiness in this matter, everything must be prepared. ”
Mo Gu's heartstrings relaxed slightly, since there was a way, there was still hope, and he immediately said: "It's still Liu Lao who is thoughtful, it's Mo who is anxious and confused, so Liu Lao has to worry a lot." In this case, I ordered someone to send Liu Lao back to the cabinet first, and if it is useful or needed during the period, you only need to send someone to the Mo family to tell you, and Mo will do his best to help you. ”
Liu Chunfeng said: "Without further ado, I'll go. ”
"I'll send Liu Lao. ”
Mojia Council Hall.
Except for Mo Gu and Mo Xiao, who left to take care of their son and daughter, respectively, the rest of the people were still sitting in their places. It's just that the atmosphere in the hall is more anxious.
At this time, Mo Xiao walked in, his face was terrifyingly dark.
Mo Qian took the lead in asking, "Great Elder, how is the situation with Qing Han and Mo Xiao?"
Mo Xiao sat down in his seat and said in a deep voice: "Xiao'er's situation is very bad, Liu Lao was frightened when he came over before, the people of the Mu family, the methods can be so cruel, it's outrageous!"
Mo Xiao slammed his fist on the table, shaking the teacup and splashing the tea.
After a moment, Mo Xiao adjusted her mood and continued, "Qinghan was just frightened and fainted, and her mother was taking care of her. ”
"I think the most important thing we should do at the moment is to send people to rescue Mo Ling and Mo Qinghe. The Elder of the Discipline Hall said conformistically.
Elder Mo Xiong of Yanwutang got up angrily and said to the black-shirted man in the middle: "Patriarch, let me lead the team, it just so happens that I haven't gone out to move my muscles for a long time! These bastards of the Mu family are very good at tricks and tricks, I want to try, is their ability to be equally passable!"
The black-shirted man's five fingers fell back and raised on the table, making a slight noise, he slowly opened his eyes, and said: "The terrain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range is complex and dangerous, we know very little about it, if we go rashly, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to save them, but we will also drag ourselves into danger." This matter still needs to be discussed again, and there is no urgency. ”
"But patriarch, where is there so much time left for us to think about the long term? stay here for a moment to deliberate, and the danger for the two of them will increase. My old bear is not afraid of death, I'll go!" Ink Bear thumped his chest hard and said.
Immediately after, several more people stood up, "Patriarch, I'm waiting too." Mo Ling and Qinghe are both the leaders of our clan, the hope of our clan, we can die, but they can't!"
Mo Xiao got up and reprimanded sharply: "Nonsense! Life and death are child's play, the lives of the two of them are important, but you are also the mainstay of our clan, and you can't afford to slip up." Haven't you thought that this is probably one of the Mu family's conspiracy, if you are damaged by the Demon Beast Mountain Range one by one, who will protect the children of the thousands of families in the city?!"
"But the Great Elder, there is no time to delay!" several people said in unison.
Mo Xiao was just about to continue to reprimand, but the black-shirted man on the side said loudly: "Okay, there is no foolproof solution, none of you will want to step out of the door of the Mo family." I've made up my mind, don't insist. With this strength, it is better to save it and think about countermeasures. ”
"Patriarch......" Several people's voices were sad and angry.
"That's enough!" The black-shirted man's expression suddenly turned cold, and a powerful spiritual power suddenly swept out, and above his head, a majestic mountain phantom rose into the sky.
Everyone, including Mo Xiao, was shocked, it was the first time they had seen such an angry patriarch. But soon they figured out the crux of the problem, one of the people who was deeply trapped in the predicament of the Demon Beast Mountain Range was the only son of the patriarch of the family.
The man in black slowly withdrew his spiritual power, and looked into the distance through the door, full of vicissitudes, "I believe in my son." ”
No one in the hall spoke again, so they obediently sat back in their respective places and thought about countermeasures.
It wasn't until another incense stick had passed, when everyone was still at a loss, that a middle-aged man's voice came in from outside the hall, breaking the deadlock, and everyone was overjoyed when they heard it.
It was as if a man who had fallen into the mire had grabbed a bamboo pole handed down from the shore.
"Patriarch Mo, where the Demon Beast Mountain Range is, my Thunder War Mercenary Regiment is very familiar!"
