Chapter 19: Enlightenment
"It's finally back!"
The moment he stepped into the foothills of Thundering Mountain, Lei Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, quite a few days without seeing him, such as the emotion of every three autumns, there has never been such a moment, Thundering Mountain and the people on the mountain made him feel particularly cordial.

This change is like pouring a scoop of boiling oil on his low-key and cold life, followed by a series of peaks and turns, making him dizzy for people who are used to seeing all kinds of bloody plots.
Fortunately, he managed to survive!
Although, life in the future must have scalded this scoop of "hot oil" beyond recognition.
"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom...... The Lei Clan's guards are indeed much tighter!"
After the "Great Philosopher" smashed the flowers with his hot hands, his voice became more and more cold, almost with a kind of demonic charm.
Lei Zhe followed his guidance, turned his head and glanced at a dense ancient pine on the hill a hundred steps away, and slowly walked up the mountain with his legs raised.
Under the snow-covered canopy of ancient pines, a short, thin Lei warrior was curled up and hidden, only a faint glimmer of light from his squinted eyes, revealing the gaps in the canopy, and throwing himself at Lei Zhe's back.
"Good boy, so alert! I didn't expect him to come back alive......"
……
The rough wooden wall twists and turns according to the mountain, stretches from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, including several mountains, even though the Lei clan has as many as 1,000 people, bustling, and never has a sense of crowding.
In all fairness, the specifications of this village are indeed a bit inflated, with the current manpower of the Lei clan, in addition to ensuring normal production, patrolling such a large village is obviously insufficient, and there is no lack of reasons for this to exploit the loopholes for Shanman.
In fact, according to Lei Zhe's reading of the family history classics, the Lei family has gone through several ups and downs, and the scale of the Lei family today is far from the largest scale of the Lei family's cottage.
About two hundred years ago, the Lei clan once multiplied to four or five thousand people, swallowed up nearly ten mountain barbarian tribes in succession, and turned all the flat and fertile soil within a radius of twenty or thirty miles into arable land and pastures, which can be described as a flourishing time.
At that time, the patriarch even made a bold statement that he would lead the clansmen to establish the first country in this wild land, a civilized country with the Lei clan people as the core, and call the king the establishment of the system, and be blessed for thousands of years!
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, a sudden plague caused the corpses of the Lei clan to accumulate like a mountain in January, nearly seventy percent of the families were full of households, and the aftermath caused a long period of continuous attrition......
Savage survival is like that!
When there are few people, they are precarious in the face of the threat of large groups of wild beasts and barbarian tribes; when there are many people, the internal friction caused by the uneven distribution of assets and power is secondary, and the most terrible thing is all kinds of disasters that fall from the sky, and the plague is one of them.
Even though the Lei clan has a mysterious origin and profound heritage, and the witch doctors, musicians, and hundreds of craftsmen have a relatively complete heritage, they are still so vulnerable in the face of many natural and man-made disasters.
"The mainstream of humanity, although there are endless battles and treacherous waves, but it is also not easy to live in isolation and avoid the wilderness!"
Lei Zhe sighed with emotion and stepped over the sturdy gate made of large ashlars.
As far as the eye can see, many families on and below the mountain have hung plain yarn white flags to mourn their relatives who have died, but unfortunately their sorrow is like as the plain yarn white flags have diluted the snow on the mountain, and there is not much left.
And so it is.
The harsh environment of frequent life and death, and the extreme atmosphere of martial arts and belligerence, have created a unique atmosphere in which most of the clansmen take life and death lightly and value inheritance.
"What should I do now, do I go home and take refuge, or do I go directly to the patriarch's mansion in the mountains to take refuge?"
Seeing that the fork in the road was not far away, Lei Zhe's eyes flashed, and he still muttered to himself.
Now that he knows that Lei Shu wants to kill himself, of course he has to be careful, with Lei Shu's eyes and ears, or in a moment and a half, the news of his return will reach Lei Shu's ears, and at that time, whether Lei Shu personally takes action or sends his generals again, he will be in a catastrophe.
The worst thing is that the location of his home is in the outermost seclusion of the residential complex, which is the best opportunity for people to take advantage of it.
If you talk about where the clan land is safest, there is no doubt that it is the patriarch's house!
Although it is true that the center of the whirlpool of power struggles in the clan deep in the patriarch's mansion is also the focus of the patriarch's lineage, and the ancestral shrine adjacent to it is even more important than the patriarch's mansion, and there are also elite tribes guarding it.
The patriarch has a large mansion but has an abnormality, not only will it be suppressed by the combined efforts of these two elites, but it will also attract the attention of the whole clan in an instant, which is enough to make anyone with bad intentions throw a mouse.
"The news of the attack on my uncle and cousin and the death of my cousin should not have come back yet, if I go to the patriarch's mansion now, how can I tell my aunt and cousin, and should I report their funeral in advance?"
"That's a thankless task! It's both hateful and suspicious, and if you end up being charged with murdering your uncle and cousin, then you're going to cry!"
The trumped-up crime has a long history, and Yue Fei is by no means the first victim, let alone the last!
Lei Zhe is lonely, and he is one of the best candidates for scapegoats, and he can't tell the truth.
"But if you go home now, it's fine during the day, but once it's night, it's not right to call the heavens and the earth...... That's it, when the time comes, it's just a move!"
At the fork in the road, Lei Zhe gritted his teeth and still set foot on the way home.
"Dingding! Dingding......"
After a while, the familiar sound of striking iron entered my ears.
"Huh, you kid can come back safely, it's not easy......"
The fire is blazing, and the iron house is warm.
The middle-aged strong man in front of the anvil hammered the iron embryo at will, and the white-bearded and white-haired old man lazily leaned on the corner pillar, holding a pot and sipping, and both of them looked at Lei Zhe in surprise.
"The kid has a big life, and he is lucky to save the day...... Let Ah Gong and Uncle Ingot worry!"
Lei Zhe touched the back of his head, looking like a fool and a fool, and he didn't show the slightest guilt, guilt, or flaw because he killed their granddaughter and daughter with his own hands last night.
Whoever kills, people will always kill him!
Lei Zhe doesn't care whether this is an unbreakable truth since ancient times, but he believes in his heart that life is equal and the greatest gift of the universe, whether rich or poor, there is only one time.
If there is one thing that is just in the world, it is that everyone dies!
Mo said that Lei Zhe was just self-defense and counter-killing this time, even if he took the initiative to kill people in the future, even if he was innocent, he would not have the slightest guilt, this has nothing to do with being cold-blooded or cold-blooded, ruthless or ruthless, and not a demonic will that treats human life as a mustard, but just a little realization that he is accustomed to seeing life and death in this life.
In the future, if he wants to kill someone and is killed, he will never have the slightest resentment.
"Ah Zhe...... Sure enough, it's you!"
Luo Ying, who heard the voice in the house, rushed out, and when he saw Lei Zhe, his face was full of surprise.
Lei Zhe's heart jumped, in the face of passers-by, he could kill their granddaughters and daughters and stop his heart, but in the face of Luoying, who had always cared for him, how could he kill her sister and make her heartbroken without a trace of unbearability?
"Dazhe" also rarely spoke in a heavy tone, "Kill all of them...... In the future, it will be better for Luoying!"
"Luoying......" Lei Zhe smiled at Luoying, but it was difficult to determine whether his smile was as relaxed and intimate as before, "It's all my fault for not being good at martial arts, so Luoying you are worried......"
Fortunately, Luo Ying was full of joy for a while, and did not notice his subtle abnormality, "It's good for you to come back!
Lei Zhe showed a trace of fatigue on his face, "I've been tossing for several days, and I can't eat or sleep well...... I'll go back and slow down first, and we'll talk another day!"
Luo Ying nodded again and again, watching his back slowly walk away.
Anvil Gong and Uncle Ingot also looked at his back, but the former's eyes narrowed slightly, and the latter's brows furrowed, compared to the simple Luoying, the father and son knew more, and they also thought more, and their thoughts at the moment were the same: Lei Zhe boy, hide very deeply!
……
The wooden bridge is short, and the stream is murmuring.
On both sides of the fertile soil, sparse herbs of various colors have emerged from the residual snow, and a simple two-story bamboo building sits lonely on the other side of the stream, under the cliff.
"Small bridges and flowing water...... Elegant is elegant, but this defense is too bad!"
Lei Zhe looked at his own bamboo building, and secretly spat on his cheap father who chose the site and designed the bamboo building.
If someone hides at the edge of the cliff, they can condescendingly take in all the movements near the bamboo building......
It's insecure to think about!
"There is a ...... on the top of the cliff"
As soon as Lei Zhe stepped on the bamboo building, a reminder of "Dazhe" sounded in his head, which immediately made him speechless.
"Lei Shu is too anxious, isn't he?" "Da Zhe" hehe sneered: "It seems that Uncle Cheap is indeed more auspicious, otherwise Lei Shu would not be so anxious to get rid of our ......"
It's no wonder that Lei Shu is so uncomposed, it is really the Lei family, if there is still a patriarch and a male in the lineage, then the rest of the descendants inherit the position of the patriarch, which seems to be unjustifiable.
The patriarch of the Lei clan, not so much the patriarch, is the head of the family, or the monarch, who combines the military and political power of a clan, and its inheritance has always been strictly in accordance with the primogeniture inheritance system, rather than what is highly respected, the highest in lineage, and the expectations of the public.
As for the decisive victory in the competition, the strong are respected, and it is even more impossible to mention it, otherwise every time the patriarch is handed over, it will evolve into a cannibalism, and it will not take a few times for the Lei clan to be extinct.
Of course, in fact, each generation of patriarchs will eventually become one of the strongest in the clan, so for four hundred years, the position of the patriarch has never been separated from the hands of the lineage, and the unique aura of the descendants of the lineage is needless to say.
In the final analysis, Lei Zhe's father and son are of great blood and blood, and they have outstanding literary and medical skills, and they should not have been dismal, and the reason why they have fallen into today's embarrassing situation is because of their uncle's deliberate suppression, and the other is the drag of their father and son's mediocre martial arts qualifications;
Of the two, the former is still the key, and now that the former is gone, the latter has another hidden meaning, and there is no need to worry, and everything will be very different in the near future.
In recent years, the patriarch's lineage has been thin, and after the uncle's and cousin's long house withered away, Lei Zhe has become the only descendant of the patriarch although he is only the second room, and he has become extremely eye-catching, no matter who wants to inherit the position of the patriarch in the side branch, he must be removed first.
At this point, Lei Zhe can't help himself, but how can Lei Zheng not be like this?
……
Mountain barbarian tribes.
The old chieftain, Alo, and Yuhu were here, and there were several mountain barbarians like small leaders kneeling below, just as you were telling me the specific process of the night attack led by Lei Fei.
Yu Hu was already pale and blinded because of the death of her husband Shanjia, and when she heard that Shanjia was defeated by Lei Hu, she died at the hands of the husband chosen by the old woman chief for Aluo, the hairy boy, and covered her heart with her hands, suffocating for a while.
Even the old woman chief and Aloyu's faces were even more ugly!
The old woman chieftain lowered her antler cane and laughed angrily: "The erector deceived me too much......! Lei's thief, sure enough, it's all a raccoon dog!"
A Luo Yu shook the purple-patterned bamboo flute in his hand, biting his lip and being speechless for a long time.
