(For @幽瞑ferry者 Jiageng)

In the evening, it was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun barely remained in the western sky, trying hard to present it in front of the villagers, but finally helplessly left.

The earth was gradually plunged into darkness.

The Qu family ancestral hall was brightly lit, and there were more than a dozen people waiting here, except for Qu Tonghui and the other two clan elders who appeared today, the rest of the clan who were more able to speak, as well as those who were closer to Qu Menghu and their branch, all came.

Even the old patriarch, who retired due to old age and illness and was recuperating at home, rushed over and gathered together.

The reason why people gathered so together was because of the uninvited guest who came to the ancestral hall today.

Qu Tianxia, who was once the most prominent in the Qu family, used to be the pride of the clan, but it was a pity that a fire, coupled with the tragedy of the annihilation, made him fall like a meteor, and many years later, his son came back and looked quite difficult to mess with.

Whether it was Jiubo, Qu Pingliang, or the current patriarch Qu Tonghui, they all explained the situation at that time to everyone.

Qu Menghu doesn't say anything, but the young man next to him with high eyebrows, who looks heroic and calm, is definitely an unfathomable master.

How strong is that person?

That's what Qu Tonghui told everyone - even if all the people who can fight in the Qu family get together now, they may not be that guy's opponent.

Even if a firearm is used, it is very suspenseful......

Qu Tonghui is a relatively good person in the Qu family's generation, and the most important thing is that his eyes are very poisonous, since he said so, then basically not much worse.

So he was very worried, if they didn't follow Qu Menghu's request and make up the 100,000 oceans, it might be really difficult for that guy to explain when the time came......

And if that guy turns his face, I'm afraid the consequences will be serious.

However, there are also dissenting opinions, after all, people have a fixed mindset, in the countryside, the clan is extremely powerful, for many people, the clan is the sky, and they feel that Qu Menghu is a child of the Qu family no matter what.

No matter how big it is, can he still be the enemy of his family and relatives?

We're all his uncles and uncles, and grandparents, even if this guy is disobedient, he can't do anything to us, right?

Isn't he afraid of five thunderstorms in the sky?

Many clan elders have this idea, of course, the reason why this is so is because it is too difficult to eat the money in the stomach and then spit it out.

At that time, Qu Menghu and their branch were broken, and the hands of these stewards in the clan did divide a lot of money, but over the years, most of them have been converted into fixed assets and fields, and it is really too difficult for them to take them out.

It will definitely be able to take it out, but it will hurt the muscles and bones, and it will be difficult to maintain the current standard of living.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, which has always been the truth.

So there were too many lucky people, so that at this time, they finally made up less than 50,000 yuan, and most of them were taken out by Qu Tonghui and his family......

And as the time got closer and closer, Qu Tonghui became more and more nervous, and persuaded you bitterly, no matter what, make up the money first.

What if the guy who killed that day didn't go to the garrison, but shook around and came back again?

Which of you went up and cut him down?

Can't you?

But for Qu Tonghui's persuasion, the clan elders attending the meeting shirked their grievances, and in the end, the "second uncle" said hatefully: "Don't worry, the guy who killed that day must have gone to find Ma Rujun, and it is ironclad to shoot and kill indiscriminately, and maybe we will be asked to collect the corpse when the time comes......"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere that had been quite low by Qu Tonghui's persuasion just now suddenly became lively, and a group of people said one after another: "Yes, no matter how ruthless that guy is, he can be more ruthless than being a soldier and carrying a gun?" Ironclad is dead. ”

"Yes, yes, but the garrison group asked us to collect the corpses, this has to be considered, this kind of unfilial son who forgets his ancestors must not be buried in the ancestral grave, it is too troublesome......"

"That's right, I have to explain to Mr. Ma when I go back, this person has nothing to do with our Qu family's half a dime, don't let Mr. Ma worry about us."

"Bury the ancestral grave? Oh my God, your heart is so big, just leave it alone, the garrison wants us to collect the corpse, pull it back, and then throw it in the grave, don't bury it deeply, go back and let the wild dogs dig it out - Ge Laozi, this foolish baby, actually hit our own family with the idea......"

In the midst of a curse, someone couldn't help but say: "You guys are doing too much, after all, Meng Hu is the son of Brother Tianxia, and when Uncle Tianxia was still alive, we got a lot of favors and benefits from him, and now it's a bit inappropriate to treat his son like this, right?" ”

As soon as the man said this, the person next to him exploded and scolded: "Qu Pingjin, is your guy pumping his brain?" That guy is asking us for money, and it's 100,000 ......."

Qu Pingjin, who couldn't help but say a fair word, said: "Meng Hu did this, it is indeed a little inappropriate, when you say that, the clan took his family back then, and it has more than doubled several times, besides, although there are many of these 100,000 oceans, but the big guys are gritting their teeth and getting together, it is still possible." ”

The second uncle was annoyed, walked up, pushed Qu Pingjin to the ground, pointed at his nose and scolded: "What are you talking about, you are a bad eater?" I feel that Qu Menghu came back this time, maybe it was the news you gave through, did he turn around and give you the money? ”

As soon as his questioning voice came out, everyone became even more enthusiastic, pointing at Qu Pingjin and scolding, even more angry, almost about to step forward to make a move.

However, the man's fist had just been raised, and before it could fall, it was hit by something flying in the distance.

The thing rolled to the ground, and the man's hands were wet, and he looked down and saw that it was all blood, and he cursed angrily, but at this time, someone next to him screamed.

Because the thing that hit him was a human head.

Wet human head......

Everyone was startled, some subconsciously retreated, while others squeezed forward, and for a while, there was a mess.

Qu Tonghui was the one who squeezed forward, he looked down at the head on the ground, and immediately shouted in fright: "Officer Ma? ”

The head on the ground was none other than Ma Rujun.

Deputy head of the garrison regiment.

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt a tingling in their hearts, and at this time, a lazy voice came from the entrance of the ancestral hall: "Yo ho, the people are quite together, my relatives, are you waiting here to welcome me?" ”

Everyone looked up and saw that the kid from Qu Tianxia's family, with a calm and relaxed young man, slowly walked into the wide ancestral hall.

Probably stunned by this bloody head, everyone in the audience stepped back one after another, and those clan elders who were foaming at the mouth and were extremely happy just now shrank the fastest, and hid directly at the back of the crowd.

As the patriarch of the Qu family's clan, Qu Tonghui had to stand up hard.

He greeted him very warmly: "Nephew Meng Huxian, you are here......"

Qu Menghu walked in with a grin, looked left and right, and then said, "I see that everyone looks very surprised, why, do you think I can't come back?" ”

Qu Tonghui said with a dry smile: "How come? I heard that you went to Ma Rujun for trouble, we are concerned about you......"

Qu Menghu shook his head and said, "No need, Ma Rujun, it's just an ungrateful person who sells his head, what is there to worry about?" I went over, mainly thinking about whether he had repented, but not only did he not repent, but he also insulted my father, so I took his head - okay, don't talk too much, Uncle Patriarch, is Dayang ready? I'm in a hurry to leave......"

He said it very easily, but Qu Tonghui was sweating profusely, and when he heard Qu Menghu's questioning, he was even more sweaty, and he didn't dare to speak.

Qu Menghu was still full of spring breeze just now, and when he saw Qu Tonghui's posture, his face suddenly fell.

He said coldly, "What, not ready? ”

Qu Tonghui stammered: "Meng Hu, you may not know that these old and young masters in our clan have not been rich over the years, and 100,000 oceans are really a lot, and it is really a bit troublesome for us to scrape together so much money for a while and a half - you see, we have been busy for most of the day, smashing pots and selling iron, and we have made up less than 50,000 ......."

He tried hard to explain, but Qu Menghu's face became more and more gloomy.

He calmly looked at the group of clansmen in front of him who lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise their heads, and said word by word: "I don't think so? You probably thought I wouldn't be able to come back, so you didn't get the money together, right? ”

Qu Tonghui hurriedly said: "How could it be? ”

Qu Menghu said: "Before Ma Rujun died, he told me that someone told him that I came back to trouble him, so he specially prepared a group of people to ambush me, but he didn't know how could he stop me with his few broken guns, so I was finally killed by me - when I came back, I kept thinking, who was the person who betrayed me?" Now that I understand it, it turns out to be my closest clan relatives......"

He deliberately lengthened his tone, his eyes were gloomy, and Qu Tonghui was so frightened that he "poofed" and fell directly to the ground.

The head of this family actually knelt down and shouted: "Meng Hu, it's really not our ......"

The second uncle next to him saw his cowardice, and immediately became annoyed, stood up, and scolded loudly: "Qu Menghu, you are an unfilial descendant, and you are not afraid of ...... with an outsider here."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped.

The old man's face was bruised, his eyes were white, and his whole body was trembling, but he fell to his knees as if he could not breathe.

A pistol slipped out of his waist.

And Qu Menghu looked at these people, and said slowly: "It seems that everyone, if you don't take my words to heart, then don't blame Meng Hu for being polite......"
