Chapter 12: The patriarch abdicates

Li Dahai and they knew that if Li Chen didn't insist on punishing them, they would be punished at most painlessly, and at most they would find a way to make more money next year, anyway, the days would be long. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Li Wenfeng and Li Dewu behind Li Chen were slightly relieved, but they didn't notice the despair that began to appear in Yun He and Li Wubao's eyes at this moment.

"Pathetic mortals!" Where can their minds be hidden from Li Chen, who has strong mental power. Sighing, Li Chen pointed at Li Dahai and the others, then circled the people in the courtyard with his fingers, and finally turned around and pointed to Li Wenfeng and the others who were obviously relieved to hear him say this. He shook his head, and then stopped Yun He and Li Hubao from talking with his gaze.

Yun He and Li Hubao watched everyone's expressions change. I couldn't help but shout in my heart.

What kind of child is this, he plays with everyone in his words, and quietly lets everyone's true thoughts in his heart completely leak in front of him, nakedly losing any protective layer.

At this time, Li Wenfeng also reacted and just wanted to speak. was stopped by Li Chen's stretched out his hand, Li Wenfeng suddenly felt as if something was restraining his hands and feet, and by the way, he also added a mask in front of his mouth, and he couldn't move and couldn't say a word. I could only watch Li Chen get up and walk down the steps.

"Just now, in the ancestral hall, someone said something quite right. I don't owe you anything. Just a big mountain, I can go if I want, the little beast wants to swallow me, there seems to be an animal in this world that doesn't have such a good appetite. When it becomes a matter of course to enjoy the help of others, when you are blinded by wealth and start dreaming of getting something for nothing, when you want to get more. Let me ask you a question: What did you do to me? ”

After saying this, Li Chen turned to Li Wenfeng and said. "I just have one request, don't let people I don't like come to the Taoist temple to disturb me."

After speaking, Li Chen said to Li Wuhu: "Grandpa Tiger, I won't go down the mountain in the future, you can go to the small Taoist temple more." ”

Then, he said to Quan Shan, who was already in tears at this moment: "Quan Shan, you use your own brains more and have time to chat with me at the Taoist temple." ”

After speaking, Li Chen did not continue, turned around and nodded to Yunhe and Li Wubao. Then he turned around and walked quickly towards the door.

The people of Lijia Village looked at the child who helped them with a look of great disappointment and wanted to say something, but at the moment they all seemed to be bound by something. I could only watch Li Chen walk out of the ancestral hall door, and soon disappeared on the way to the Taoist temple.

After walking for a long time, the people in the ancestral hall felt that they could move freely. But people didn't know what to do at this time, so they could only look at Li Wenfeng and other old people.

And Yunhe looked up to the sky and laughed and shook his head. He lifted his feet and walked out, leaving only a word. "A group of adults, not even a child. I'm leaving, go back to the Taoist temple and accompany the kid, bandit, come and sit with me if you have nothing to do. ”

Li Wubao looked at Yunhe's back, and then at Li Wenfeng, who seemed to be much older at the moment, and Li Dewu, who was full of shame. He stomped his feet, didn't say a word, and left with Yunhe.

And Li Wuhu, when he heard that Li Chen still continued to stay in the Taoist temple, he just didn't go down the mountain. His face also became happy, and he hurriedly followed Li Wubao's footsteps and said in a loud voice: "Bandit, come to my house to drink." ”

Li Wenfeng looked at a few people who left, and then looked at Li Dahai and others who were still kneeling on the ground at the moment, but with happy faces, and the confused villagers, tremblingly stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but his hand stopped in the air for a long time, did not speak, and suddenly leaned back, but under the intersection of anger and guilt, he fainted, fortunately he was caught by Li Dewu and others behind him, so there was chaos at the scene, and Li Dahai and others slipped out of the ancestral hall through chaos.

By the time Li Wenfeng woke up, it was already night. After chatting with his son and daughter-in-law who were waiting in front of the bed for a while, he asked his son to call several clan elders, Li Wuhu and Li Wubao, to his house.

"I'm old," Li Wenfeng's first sentence surprised the old people present. They all persuaded Li Wenfeng not to think too much.

"I'm really old," they paused, waving their hands and motioning for themselves to continue.

"Actually, I've been thinking this afternoon, why are we waiting for things to get to this point before we rush to find a way to make amends? Because of the long-term isolation from the world, the brains of our clan elders have been unable to turn. ”

"When I woke up, I asked my son Zhuzi, in fact, Chen Wazi tried to stop something, but maybe because he was too young and no one listened, or maybe because he was an outsider, the people in the village looked down on him. Even we looked down on him a little. We think we have it all. ”

"But when it happens, we get angry about something, but we don't take action. As a result, the atmosphere has begun to deteriorate, and things are irreparable, so we hurriedly think of remedies. ”

"Also, today a few of us are also thinking about Li Dewen's love, and we leaked the bottom when dealing with the sea. I was noticed by the morning baby, and he took the last look at us, and now I think about it, it really makes me ashamed. Among those present, only Yunhe and the bandits have always been fair-minded, but they were recognized by Chen Wazi. So, I would like to take this opportunity to do two things. ”

"One piece, I'm going to let Quanshan take the position of the village chief. In this era, it's time for young people to come out. What's more, have you noticed that Chen Wazi's attitude towards the whole mountain is different from that of others. ”

"The other thing is to revise the village rules, the roads in the village are open, life has become better, and the times in the outside world are different. If we keep the rules left by our ancestors, there is no way out. After this matter is done, let the whole mountain take over the village head, and in the future, the affairs of the clan and the affairs of the village will be separated. ”

"This matter is settled, don't bother to persuade me, it's better to think about how to make Chen Wazi change her mind and continue to help our village is a big deal. Otherwise, the village will come to an end. ”

Just when Li Wenfeng convened people to discuss the matter, Li Chen was calming the angry Arnold.

"Your Majesty, I should not have been stopped this afternoon, and anyone who offends you must be severely punished."

Arnold was still angry about Li Chen's order to stop all preparations for force in the afternoon. In fact, when Li Dahai led people to surround Li Chen, Arnold had already ordered the defense robots waiting around Li Chen to prepare for an assault at any time. In Arnold's plan, all human beings who go against Li Chen's wishes have only one destination - death.

You must know that under Arnold's arrangement, it is possible that an ant stepped on the sole of Li Dahai's feet could attack in an instant, causing the person who stepped on him to turn into dust in a few tenths of a millisecond and completely disappear into this world. And such robots of all kinds and sizes, Arnold arranged tens of millions of them around Li Chen. It can be said that within 2 kilometers of Li Chen's surroundings, if Li Chen is willing, all the creatures can disappear and turn into dust within 1 minute.

"Arnold, you have to remember. We can't let a few people affect our overall situation. The big aspect of Lijia Village is good, and it is difficult for us to find a place that suits us to integrate. One Li Dahai, we will put Grandpa Yunhe, Grandpa Li Wuhu, and Quan Shan...... Are you all rejected?"

"It's just a little verbal conflict, believe me, Li Dahai will be punished."

Li Chen shook his head, in fact, he was indeed a little angry, and once had the idea of leaving here, he went to the top of the mountain in the afternoon to calm down, after Li Wuhu and the others came to the bottom of the cliff, they looked at Li Wuhu's desolate expression and the anxious appearance of the whole mountain who mistakenly thought that he was going to commit suicide, and after using his mental power to monitor a conversation in the ancestral hall. Although he was a little unhappy with Li Wenfeng and the others' subconscious of wanting to spare Li Dahai, he was still very moved by the undisguised care of these people for themselves.

In addition, Li Chen is also concerned about the books of the three caves of Taoism, Tiandiren and Man, and the classics collected in the Taoist temple are not limited to Taoism, but also have many classic classics of Confucianism, law, ink, soldiers, and vertical and horizontal in history. These represent the most glorious spiritual wealth of the ancient earth, and indeed open a door for him. So whenever he has time, he hides in the library hole, reading the books he is interested in, and on the other hand, he also arranges a large number of micro-robots to scan the content of the books into his brain. Make it available to him at any time.

In particular, the books about his own cultivation in the human cave have always attracted him. I simply took this opportunity to find a quiet time for myself for a few years. What's more, the current state of Lijiacun is really not suitable for continuation, and they must be allowed to calm down and learn to face money ...... correctly.

A few days after the conflict in the ancestral hall, Li Wenfeng's body gradually recovered. So, the clan elders began to go to the ancestral hall every day to discuss something, and even two days later, Li Wenfeng sent his grandson down the mountain and invited the commune cadres in charge of Lijia Village to come over. People instinctively feel that there is no result from what happened last time, especially since Brother Chen is still in the Taoist temple on the mountain, and he has not come down the mountain for a long time.

As a result, the village began to enter a strange state, in addition to the villagers to work in the farmland, all the cats in their own homes, there is no visit to each other, the women no longer get together in the east and west, even those who run to the town from time to time to gamble a few men also obediently guard the hot kang head of their wives and children at night, do not dare to have a trace of the idea of going down the mountain, lest they be misunderstood.

In the past few days, as soon as Li Wuhu goes out, he will feel that the people walking by him look very unnatural, as if Li Wuhu has become a beast that can eat people. Li Wuhu is not stupid, he thought about it, slapped his thigh, simply locked the door of the house, and ran to the Taoist temple to be with his brother and grandson, but he was also happy and clean.

After Li Wenfeng and several clan elders studied the "Lijia Village Villagers' Civilization Convention" brought by the commune cadres word by word, and consulted the cadres of the commune for various problems that have arisen in Lijia Village, of course, Li Chen's existence naturally hides the past.

After the commune cadres gave detailed answers and took the civilization convention to find out the clauses corresponding to these problems one by one, Li Wenfeng and several clan elders made a decision to immediately publish the "Lijia Village Villagers' Civilization Convention."

Thanks to the private school education in the village, the men in Lijia Village can read a few words. But in order to strengthen the understanding, it is also necessary to put an end to the last time. The bell of Lijia Village rang again.

Looking at the villagers standing silently and preoccupied in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, Li Wenfeng realized that if the problem was not completely clarified this time, Lijia Village would be completely defeated.

"At today's clan meeting, there are two things to announce." Li Wenfeng didn't go around in circles this time, and directly asked people to post the "Lijia Village Villagers' Civilization Convention" specially written with a large brush on the billboards on both sides of the ancestral hall. Then he read the covenant out loud himself.

"Villagers should be united and fraternal, live in harmony, do not fight, do not drink too much, and it is strictly forbidden to insult and slander others, and it is strictly forbidden to spread rumors to confuse the public and play with right and wrong."

"It is strictly forbidden to steal, extort, rob state, collective, and personal property, and it is strictly forbidden to gamble"

"In the process of production, life and social exchanges, we should follow the principles of equality, voluntariness and mutual benefit, and carry forward the new style of Xinhua country"

The content of these treaties, which are very obvious, has made many people faintly ashamed on their faces. After Li Wenfeng finished reading these contents, his tone changed, and he began to talk about the events of the previous few days.

"Last time, because my old man was not in good health, he didn't solve it neatly, but we haven't finished this matter."

Speaking of this, Li Wenfeng looked at Li Dahai and the others who were hiding in the crowd at this time.

"You always think that it's just a little money, don't you just want to make more money. Why do you want to make such a big move? ”

"We're here today to highlight a few things. Two days ago, the public security in the government came to the town to catch gambling, and on that day, more than 30 people who were gambling in the gambling club were arrested, but the public security said that there were less than ten people who were really gambling money, and the others were all in a gang. Basically, they let people win first and then lose, and then lend you money to let you continue gambling, and almost squeeze you dry, and start deducting people to ask for money. Isn't it that several people in our village have already tasted the sweetness, fortunately, ....... ”

"The police also said that they have already harmed several towns in other prefectures, and a few people have committed suicide with broken families. Now the Executive Yuan has sentenced all of these people. The leader of the organization was the death penalty, the main members of the gang were indefinite, and the general members were basically 3~5 years, and those who were caught participating in gambling on the same day were re-educated through labor for one year. Hearing this, is there anyone who still says that the morning baby is troublesome? ”

Hearing this shocking news, everyone in the village was stunned, especially a few people who had been gambling a lot not long ago.

"The rules handed down by our ancestors are reciprocated by the grace of a drop of water. I ask you now, has Chen Wazi received your kindness, and has he been kind to our village? ”

The people in Lijia Village below said that Li Chen did not owe Li Jia Village, but his kindness to Li Jia Village was too great. Seeing that everyone in the village thought that Li Chen was kind to Lijia Village, Li Wenfeng was more confident.

"Then how do we repay people's kindness? Thinking about using others to make money every day? I don't trust others, and I find that I don't earn as much as others, so I force others to find a way to help me earn it back? If people don't agree, they will scold people for white-eyed wolves? This is how our Li family repays the favor? Li Wenfeng's voice was louder than the last, and the last question was a little hoarse. There was a slight pause and a breath.

"Chen Wazi has read a lot of books on cultivation from Yunhe, and she is also young, and she speaks more gently. According to me, the people in our Lijia Village are white-eyed wolves, we are all of us, and none of them can escape! ”

"What did Chen Wazi say in the end, he asked us, 'I ask you a question: What do you think of me?' ”

"My old man tells you today that we have treated him as a tool to make money, not as a person. Since we don't take others to heart, why should people continue to help you, there are more people in the world who can help, and there are more people who know how to be grateful, why should Chen Wazi help us white-eyed wolves. ”

"Even if he stays in Lijia Village, he will only help the tiger family and the bandit family make money, why, because these two families really treat this child well, and other children know how to be grateful more than us!"

"In just the first year, after getting some money, the whole village didn't know that their surname was Li. There are those who gamble, there are those who don't farm, and there are those who are red-eyed, so what about next year and the year after next? This year, five or six thousand, next year it will become a 10,000 yuan household, what should I do? ”

"In this matter, our Lijia Village is wrong, not only Li Dahai alone, but the first to be wrong is me, the patriarch and the village head. I didn't teach the good people to be grateful, and I didn't teach the good people to be calm in the face of wealth, and since we were wrong, we would be punished. Li Wenfeng's tone began to be low and serious.

"Li Dahai, and a few others who went to Taoist temples to block people, participated in gambling, and dug their own crops, next year, in addition to the purchase money for planting, the profit share will be gone, and all of them will be confiscated as education funds. Whether it will be confiscated or divided in the year after next year depends on his specific performance next year, and it will be decided by voting of all the villagers. Hearing this, Li Dahai and the others turned pale. But looking at the disgust in the eyes of the people around him, he acquiesced.

"I, Li Wenfeng, it doesn't hurt to teach, I have polluted the style of the Li family for generations, starting today, I will resign as the patriarch and Li Wubao will take over the patriarch. At the same time, I also negotiated with the cadres in the commune to resign as village head and be replaced by Li Quanshan. I hope that our Li family will learn a lesson from this incident and be a good person. After Li Wenfeng finished speaking, he arched his hand and made a bow to the crowd below, ignoring the stunned crowd in the audience, and walked off the stage directly, found an empty seat in the clan elder group, sat on it, closed his eyes, and went straight to recuperate.

Li Wubao looked at the chaotic villagers in the audience, and knew that he couldn't give in at this time, so he strode to the front. Seeing Li Wubao standing in front of the stage, the villagers' voices gradually became quieter.

"Old and young masters, we knew the old patriarch's decision a few days ago, and we have been persuading the old man to change his mind in the past few days. But the old man insisted that a mistake is a mistake, and someone must take the responsibility. The old man asked me to be the patriarch, and I have been pushing it, but today the old man said publicly that my old bandit will have to go up at this time. ”
