"I'm really old now, and I'm useless. Whether it is the leader of Wanshou Ancient Village or the patriarch of Sanshan and Wuzhai, it is up to the young people to come. Patriarch Buni said.

"Old Patriarch!" Everyone said in unison.

"You don't need to say more, I've made up my mind." The old patriarch of Buni said, "Among the young talents of my Wanshou Ancient Village, I think that the leader of Beibu, the son of the leader of Aguji, Guchitun, and Xizeb are the most powerful, but the leader of Beibu took the lead in the turmoil last night, and his mind is not right, so I won't consider it." Among the other two, everyone put forward their opinions on who is more suitable as the recommender of our Wanshou Ancient Village. ”

The leader of Aguji stood up and said: "Old patriarch, you have been leading our Tujiazhai without any mistakes, but now you let young people take up the position of patriarch, I am afraid that they will have some leaks, so please think twice." ”

The other leaders also stood up and said, "Old patriarch, please think twice. ”

"Needless to say, everyone, I have made up my mind, and now please tell me what you think of these two young men." Old Buni Patriarch said.

"Old patriarch, leaders, let me, an outsider, say a few words." Wang Laohu saw that everyone in the council hall was arguing about the matter of the patriarch, and he couldn't help but interject, "The two leaders of Jiang Pei and Hou Yin have already put their words here, I think they seem to be determined to win the position of the patriarch, so in my opinion, we have to select an excellent person who can defeat the other leaders, and whether the two recommended by the old patriarch can defeat the other leaders and win the position of the patriarch in one fell swoop, so we need everyone to work together." ”

A leader said: "Wang Gongzi is right, in Wanshou Ancient Village, in terms of qualifications, these two young people are inferior to Jiang Pei and Hou Yin, which is the most fatal weakness. ”

No matter what time it is, this seniority is ranked first, and it is the same in Tujiazhai.

The other leader said: "Our patriarch relies on virtue, bravery, wisdom, martial arts, and cooperation, not on seniority, but on various talents." ”

One leader said: "This is the reason, I'm afraid that the thoughts of these young people will conflict with us, and their thinking is not mature enough, will it?" ”

The old patriarch said: "Young people do have their own shortcomings, so let the young people continue to hone and mature on the road of growth. ”

"I deeply agree with the words of the old patriarch that the growth of every young person cannot be smooth sailing, and only in the continuous tempering of things can talents be produced and excellent talents can be produced. The future of the Tujia family lies in this young man, even if he is not allowed to run for patriarch now, he can be slowly tempered to start. Wang Laohu said.

"Since the old patriarch and the prince agree on this matter, I will give my opinion." One of the leaders stood up and said, "Of the two, I recommend Guchitun, the son of the leader of Aguji, Guchton, we have watched him grow up, he has been kind-hearted since he was a child, and he will help the old woman of the Tujia family to harvest the grain together." Ploughing deeply, raking rotten, a bowl of mud and a bowl of rice, he often went to the field, and also studied crops. ”

The other leader expressed his opinion, and said: "Xi Zebu, we also grew up watching him, he is afraid that his heart is no worse than Gu Qidun, and he is very good at kung fu, last time he went hunting in the mountains with four Tujia youths, and he caught a big wild boar in three days. ”

The leaders expressed their opinions, supporting both Gucciton and Hilzeb.

Wang Laohu could hear that these two young people were one of the better young people in Wanshou Ancient Village.

The old patriarch listened and said, "Everyone's words are very reasonable. But there is only one candidate for patriarchship, and we will choose one of these two young men. ”

The leader of Aguji said: "I am the Abba of Guchton, I don't count this matter, if I let one of these two people be selected, according to the rules of the patriarch, we will choose from the village, and whoever wins will be the candidate." ”

The proposal of the leader of Aguji was approved by everyone.

This one is the fairest proposal, no one has the wind, and it is all within the rules of the game.

Wang Laohu asked, "Leaders, I would like to ask you, how do you plan to consider these two young people?" ”

The old patriarch said: "According to the rules of our Tujia family, those who participate in the patriarchal election must be the leaders of the Tujia villages, and second, when the leaders run for the patriarch, the ten elders will assign five major tasks, and whoever wins three games first will win." ”

"So what are these five tasks?" Wang Laohu asked again.

"This is not necessarily, these tasks will be drawn up by the Ten Elders in Quelingtai the day before, and the whole process will be closed, and no one will know." The old patriarch said.

It turns out that this old patriarch is compared to the annual college entrance examination.

"Old patriarch, I have a proposal." Wang Laohu said.

The leaders also listened to each other, and the old patriarch said: "Prince Wang, I don't think you are an outsider, just say what you have to say." ”

"The person who chooses the patriarch must be the leader of the village, and now the Wanshou Ancient Village is an eventful autumn, the leader of Bei Bu rebelled, I think give the two of them a deadline, whoever catches Bei Bu first, who is the leader of the Wanshou Ancient Village." Wang Laohu said.

The leader of Aguji said: "I agree with Wang Gongzi's opinion, if we follow the rules, we can't simulate so many questions, and this question type is also ever-changing. ”

One of the leaders also said: "Yes, thousands of exams are not as good as this question." The two Tujia descendants are excellent in all aspects, so they will consider the final candidate with this question. ”

The old patriarch also nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees to consider the two of them with this question, I also agree." Someone came, and it was rumored that Gucciton and Hezeb had come to the council chamber. ”

Goochton and Heateb both arrived in the council chamber. The two young men knew about last night's battle, and they had already put on their armor and were waiting to be summoned.

Gucciton looked a little older than Hezebu. His weapon was a large knife, but this knife was not an ordinary knife, the handle was longer than that of an ordinary knife, and the blade was slender and somewhat like a seedling, and the shape was somewhat like a seedling knife.

Xi Zebu is holding a three-headed fork, which is a commonly used weapon of the Tujia people, and his three-headed fork handle has been brightened, and he must have been used for a long time.

The old patriarch said, "I think you all already know about last night's events. What caused this crisis was the position of the patriarch, and I had promised to restart the matter of the patriarch's election, and I would have people notify the Hewan Tuzhai and the Yayuan Tujiazhai later. We, Wanshou Guzhai, intend to select one of the two of you as a candidate to run for election. ”

Hearing such a thing from the mouth of the old patriarch means that the old patriarch will step down from the position of the old patriarch and the leader of Wanshou Ancient Village.

Gu Qidun and Xi Zebu said at the same time: "Old patriarch, this is absolutely unacceptable, our Wanshou Ancient Village still needs to be under your leadership." ”

"I'm getting older, and sooner or later this village will be handed over to you, and now is the right time." The old patriarch said.

The leader of Aguji said: "Guchitun, Xizebu, we have discussed it just now, this is not the decision of the old patriarch alone, it is the result of our joint discussion, so you should not shirk it anymore." ”

The old patriarch said: "This time, you represent our Wanshou Ancient Village, not you personally. ”

Gucciton said: "Thanks to the old patriarch, Xi Zebu and I should do our best. ”

"That's right. Gu Qitun and Xi Zebu, two young young people, grew up in Tujia, and the two of them were warm-hearted and recognized by everyone. As for whether they can get the position of patriarch, they still need to work their own. ”

"Old patriarch, I don't care if I can be the patriarch or not, whoever is the patriarch, as long as it can consider our Tujia and think about our Tujia, I will support it." Hizebu.

"The patriarch wants to think about the entire Tujia, so I am very calm about this matter." Gucciton also said.

"It's important to have that mentality. Our Tujia family must unite to resist foreign enemies, and this is also a point that I can reassure you. Last night's crisis, the leader of Beibu led the crowd to make trouble, and now he has fled to the mountains, I hope you can go to the mountains to find him out, whoever catches the leader of Beibu is the leader of Wanshou Ancient Village, and whoever will participate in the patriarch competition. ”

"Does the old patriarch want us to set off now to capture the Bebe leader?" Gucciton asked.

"Yes, you two will set off immediately with people, whether you can catch it or not, you must return to the village within five days, in addition, there are often wild beasts infested in the mountains, so you must pay attention to your own safety." The old patriarch said.

"Alright, old patriarch, let's go now." Goochton and Heatebus.

Seeing the two of them walking out, the old patriarch beckoned Aguji and said, "After all, these two people are still relatively young, so please ask the leader of Aguji to follow all the way in case of accidents." ”

Aguji said: "It's hard for the old patriarch to be hard. ”
