Chapter 914: Scolding
The three elders were also a little skeptical that they had guessed wrong, they had already found all the places they could find in this village, if they didn't even have this place, then they might have to secretly ask Su Qing where he had hidden people.
It's just that in that case, the fourth child will definitely suffer a lot of crimes, but this has nothing to do with himself, all of this is his own fault.
The woman's heart was already nervous, she could clearly hear her heartbeat, this was already the last place, if she couldn't find her old man, I am afraid it would be really lucky, so she did not let go of the slightest place, until the entire ancestral hall was almost finished, and the hope in her heart was exhausted little by little.
When she came to a dead end, she didn't have any hope, just glanced at it lightly, and was about to turn around and walk back.
The four elders had also experienced great ups and downs at this moment, he watched one person after another walk in front of him, but no one found anyone locked in the dark room, he was wondering if he would be starved to death here?
If he dies like this, how can he have the face to see the ancestors under Jiuquan, and the most important thing is that he doesn't know who tied him here?
At first, he did suspect that it was Su Qing, after all, he only had a holiday with him, but the more he got to the back, the more he doubted the guess in his heart, if it was really Su Qing who tied him up, then he was afraid that he would be dead now, and the most important thing was that he didn't know his whereabouts, how could he plan this matter in advance.
He had a vague guess in his heart, although he didn't want to believe it, but apart from that explanation, he couldn't think of any other reason, but he had been stubbornly unwilling to believe it, and silently told himself in his heart that all this was his own speculation, and they must be crazy now, desperately looking for themselves.
The four elders even made a bet on themselves, as long as they were willing to save themselves, whether this matter was directed or acted by them or not, they would believe them as always.
Just when he was thinking wildly, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and when he looked down, he saw a figure flashing through the crack in the door, although he couldn't see it clearly, but the clothes on his body were deeply remembered, and it might be his old woman.
He tried hard to make a sound, but his throat was dry, and it was a little difficult, but he knew in his heart that if he missed this time, he might really have to give his life here.
In this moment of danger, he made a bold decision, writhing desperately, slamming himself to the ground, making a violent noise, but at the same time he had already fainted from the pain, he suspected that his bones should be broken, but it was too late to think about it so much.
The woman had already walked by, and when she heard the noise, she turned back again, trying to see through the crack in the door, but all she could see was darkness.
She called a few times, but no one inside answered, and she thought she had misheard it in a trance, and turned to leave again.
The three elders waited outside for a long time, but the woman didn't come back, so she couldn't help asking, "Did anyone of you just go with the fourth elder?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a confused look on your face.
After a long while, someone said weakly, "I just saw her go to the little black room." I didn't think about it that much at the time, and now I haven't been back for so long, isn't something wrong? ”
The three elders naturally knew about the small black house, but that place was set up to punish the clansmen who made mistakes, and now it has not been used for many years, and that place has long been deserted.
After the Great Elder went back, he always felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Although the Second Elder was afraid that the Great Elder would attack him, but now that this situation was beyond their expectations, he was really worried that something would happen, so he still stayed in the Great Elder's Old House with a dead face, and he could know anything as soon as possible.
The two of them had always sent their own people to follow the three elders and them, and they immediately reported to them as soon as there was any news.
A person ran in from outside in a panic and shouted loudly: "Great Elder, it's not good, something happened!" ”
When the Great Elder heard this, his brows furrowed, how many times had he told them on weekdays, he had to be steady in what he did, don't be so angry, it seemed that he didn't listen to his words at all.
He looked coldly at the man who ran in and said, "What's the matter that makes you so flustered?" ”
The man was out of breath, and when he heard that there was something wrong with the Great Elder's tone, the whole person immediately calmed down like a deflated ball, "Great Elder, the Third Elder took people to the ancestral hall, and they said that the Fourth Elder might be in the ancestral hall." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the two people changed, and the hands holding the corner of the table clenched involuntarily, and they glanced at each other.
The second elder pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, you go down first." You're tired today, hurry back and rest, I'll call you over again if there's anything!" ”
The man felt a little strange in his heart, isn't it a good thing to find the four elders, why are the faces of the two of them so weird, could it be true that the disappearance of the four elders has something to do with them as the rumors say.
But this is all a matter between them, and it has nothing to do with him as a small person, he still has to save his life, so he left in a hurry.
After he left, the Second Elder immediately walked over and closed the door, and the face on the Great Elder also changed, the two of them knew better than anyone else what was placed there, but they didn't understand why the Fourth Elder ran there.
Could it be that he really wanted to betray them? Or did someone know that they were hiding something there to test them?
But no matter what the outcome, they must rush over now, and the secret that has been hidden for so long must not be known, otherwise what awaits them will be doomed.
"Big brother, let's hurry over and take a look, what does this fourth child want to do? Could it be that he resents us so much that he wants to drag us to die together? The second elder said angrily.
He was obviously not as stable as the Great Elder, and the things that the Great Elder was worried about at the moment were a little different from him, maybe the fourth elder was just unintentionally put there, just to want to test them.
If they hurried over and blasted people out now, wouldn't they just sit down on the three hundred taels of silver here, and then what they hid there would not be able to keep.
But if this matter was done by the fourth child, then he didn't care about his life or death, why did he leave his life behind?
"Second brother, you've been with me for so many years, haven't you learned how to write the word calm? If that's the case, then all my years of thinking have really been in vain. The Great Elder said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.
The second elder was said by him, and the whole person suddenly calmed down, it was indeed his reaction just now, which was a little too excited, in case this was a trap set by others, his reaction just now just happened to conform to the wishes of others.
But he is really anxious in his heart, it is a matter related to his life, once it spreads, he will die without a place to be buried.
Although he said that he had been prepared for the revelation of the matter from the time he decided to do this with the Great Elder, his family was innocent, and they had been kept in the dark by themselves for so many years, and they should not end up like themselves.
"Big brother, this matter is indeed my conflict, but what should we do now? The third child has always been at odds with us, and now he suddenly took someone to the ancestral hall, ostensibly to find the fourth, but we don't know what he was thinking. Didn't someone tell him about the things in the ancestral hall, and he just wanted to find out what was going on this time? ”
"It's hard to say what will happen to us if those things fall into his hands!" The second elder said anxiously.
He really didn't want the Third Elder to be reused, so it was really a little disadvantageous to him.
The Great Elder looked at him coldly, sure enough, Adou who couldn't support the wall, it had been so many years, and he still hadn't learned what it meant to be calm, he really couldn't let him go on with him like this, otherwise everything might be lost in his hands in the end.
Only the three of them knew what happened at the beginning, if the second and fourth died, then there was no proof of death, even if the third child was suspicious, he had no way to take himself, so that he could cooperate with him without distraction.
This matter affects the whole body, and I have to think carefully before I do it, so as not to have any accidents.
"Second brother, don't say anything about it in the future, the third brother is our brother after all, and I believe he won't help an outsider deal with us. But just like you said, we still have to go over and see, in case something happens, it's really not going to end well! The Great Elder said with a calm face, he had already thought about everything clearly, no matter what happened today, it would be beneficial to him.
The second elder always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only hurriedly follow behind the great elder, hoping that everything was just his own thoughts.
The relationship between the fourth child and himself has always been relatively good, and he really doesn't want to deal with him until he has to, hoping that this incident is really just an accident.
The two of them moved quickly, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the ancestral hall.
When I got there, I heard only chatter.
