Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Ancestral Hall Questioned
After last night's adventure, Yan Yu was so tired that he lay down on the bed and fell asleep for a while, until he was woken up by the noise outside, and it was already noon.
The faucet sank, the water flow was cut off in half, and the water source of Xianhukou was almost cut off, which was related to the life and death of the old river fort, and Yan Yu had already expected that there would be an explosive follow-up.
After hiding the giant sword, Yan Yu walked out of the house, and saw that many neighbors had gone to the ancestral hall in the village.
Lin Xiaoyu took the two children and happened to pass by, and when he saw Yan Yu, he was also a little surprised.
"Where is this going?" Yan Yu asked a little knowingly, and Lin Xiaoyu also told the truth: "I heard that someone broke into the ancestral tomb and broke something, the village chief asked everyone to gather in the ancestral hall and find out that person!" ”
"I'll check it out too." Yan Yu didn't want to get involved anymore, after all, he was the "culprit", but he didn't want others to be implicated because of him, not to mention, he didn't want to make any tragedy because of this matter, if possible, he was willing to propose some remedies to solve the dilemma.
The ancestral hall is second only to the ancestral tomb, and women and outsiders are not allowed to enter it on weekdays, but Qin Dayou chose the location in the ancestral hall to show his majesty, as long as it is discussed in the ancestral hall, it is all a matter within the clan, and he has the right to make decisions.
Yan Yu followed Lin Xiaoyu and the others to the ancestral hall, although everyone gathered in the open space at the entrance of the ancestral hall, but seeing Yan Yu appear, Qin Dayou's face was not good-looking.
He walked up to the front and said to Xiao Lu, who was close to protecting the two children: "Comrade Lu, this is our internal meeting, can you please avoid it a little?" ”
After all, Xiao Lu is a person from the police station, if he listens to it, it will be inconvenient, and with Xiao Lu here, it is very likely to affect his control of the incident.
Xiao Lu is a friendly person, there are so many horizontal and vertical people, because the two children will not be in danger, he will retreat to the periphery.
Qin Dayou smiled and expressed his gratitude, but turned his head to look at Yan Yu, his face turned cold, after all, Yan Yu brought a mask during the day and asked him to help, and it was too strange that this happened at night.
"Did you do that?" Qin Dayou lowered his voice and stared at Yan Yu and asked.
"What the hell? What the hell? Yan Yu looked puzzled, and responded to Qin Dayou's eyes with a bright and frank attitude.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, have you entered the ancestral grave!"
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Won't you just let everyone come over for this?" ”
Qin Dayou's face became even more gloomy: "So you admit it?" ”
Yan Yu pretended to be surprised: "Admit it, why don't you admit it, you see, there is still soot left on the sole of my shoes......
Saying this, Yan Yu lifted his feet, and the soles of his shoes were really all black and gray.
Qin Dayou grabbed Yan Yu's collar and said, "That place is also where you can go!" What the hell did you do! ”
This pull, everyone saw it, and naturally they all turned their anger to Yan Yu's body, it turned out that it was a good thing done by this person with a foreign surname, and it almost caused them to eat the village chief's scolding.
Since Yan Yu dared to come, he had already been prepared, and immediately explained: "I just want to see what kind of place you old men are desperately guarding." ”
Qin Dayou's face turned blue with anger: "Tell me quickly, what did you do!" ”
Yan Yu gently broke Qin Dayou's hand: "I should ask you what you did, right?" I said, why don't you want the people in the village to help me find a water source, it turns out that there is water hidden in it, and there is really you! ”
If Qin Dayou suspected that Yan Yu was just talking angry at the beginning, at this time he was already 100% sure that Yan Yu had really broken into the ancestral grave!
"What the hell have you done, why is the water running out!" There is a water source in the ancestral tomb, which is an undeclared secret in the village, after all, no one wants to leak the news, so as not to be robbed by other villages.
The secret water source in the ancestral tomb is only known to a few core figures, although the others don't know the inside story, but they have traveled all over the four miles and eight townships, but the village chief has continuously rationed drinking water, and a fool can guess seven or eight points.
Of course, they are just guessing, they don't know the details, and they all have the same thoughts, it is impossible to spread the news, because it is related to their vital interests, and it is also the interests of life and death.
Although Qin Dayou kept his voice low, his emotions were so excited that several people around him heard this conversation.
This is the first time they have confirmed the news that there is a water source in the ancestral tomb from Qin Dayou's mouth!
Qin Dayou obviously also realized his gaffe, turned his head and cast a warning glance at a few people around him, and several people were also silent, and they retreated one after another, not daring to approach again.
Yan Yu saw all this in his eyes, and he was not in a hurry, because he knew that this water source was a secret, and it was impossible for Qin Dayou to deal with this matter in a high-profile manner, otherwise he would not have summoned everyone to the ancestral hall.
"Let's let them all go back first, it's not good to make it so lively......" Yan Yu reminded him, Qin Dayou also had a twitch, but he still asked Qin Zhong to disband everyone back, after all, this matter is not suitable to be publicized, since Yan Yu has been caught, there is no need to have more trouble with others.
Some of the villagers were indignant, some were relieved, and they were indignant that Qin Dayou grabbed Yan Yu and didn't let go, it should be this person with a foreign surname who broke into their ancestral grave, and it was relieved that it was Yan Yu who did the bad thing, and it would not be them who were punished by the village chief.
Yan Yu would not let Qin Dayou seize the initiative, but asked him first: "Village Chief, I'm very curious, how much water is in the gourd, where did it come from?" ”
"If we can find a water source and develop it, won't we be able to solve all the problems?"
Yan Yu believed that neither Qin Dayou nor the rest of the village could unravel the astrolabe, which meant that no one should know the situation inside the immortal statue.
Even if there were, it was only a few people like Qin Dayou, Qin Dayou categorically wouldn't believe that Yan Yu, such an outsider, could open the Falling Star Disk, and it was impossible to know the internal situation.
The reason why he was angry was still at the level of Yan Yu breaking into the ancestral tomb, because even he didn't believe that Yan Yu had the ability to break into the immortal statue and cut off the water source.
Or maybe Qin Dayou himself doesn't know where the water of this immortal gourd comes from, maybe even he, the village head, doesn't know that there is something in the immortal statue.
Sure enough, Yan Yu threw out this question, and although Qin Dayou's face was still ugly, his tone had eased a lot.
"That's the ancestral tomb of my Qin family, it's too disrespectful for you to break in with a foreign surname, now you have seen it, the original water flow was very big, but now it has become like this, it is already very difficult to feed the villagers, you tell me honestly, when you go in, the water flow is only so big?"
"Did you find any suspicious people or things?"
This question completely confirmed Yan Yu's conjecture, Qin Dayou's arrogance did not allow him to believe that Yan Yu could understand the deeper secrets of the water source, and he did not believe that Yan Yu would be the one who destroyed the water source at all.
"Suspicious people? That's not true, I just went in to take a look, but the immortal seems to be really magnificent, such an old thing, don't let the archaeological team look at it, otherwise they won't dig the Dragon King Temple, but will come to dig this immortal statue! ”
Yan Yuzheng hit Qin Dayou's most feared sore spot, he did everything possible to obstruct the archaeological team, and even stubbornly guarded the ancestral tomb, isn't it just to prevent the archaeological team from discovering that the place that is really worth excavating is in the ancestral tomb!
"You dare to say half a word, I'll make you look good!"
Yan Yu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in these things, otherwise Zhao Tongyi invited me to join several times, and I would have agreed a long time ago." ”
"If you have this in mind, why don't you help me deal with that mask earlier, so that I can go out and investigate that murderer, and save yourself from staying in the village and annoying you."
Qin Dayou said angrily: "How can I still have the heart to get that now, the water flow has become smaller, our village is really going to be in trouble this time!" ”
Yan Yu proposed: "In the past, I wanted to dig a cave to find a water source, you relied on this gourd, you have no fear, now it is just right, there is no need to hang your life so half-dead, let the big guys go to the cave to find water." ”
Qin Dayou sneered: "When you went to find Zhang Gulin, I told you that there is no water source in this radius of more than ten miles, have you done so many cavings and found water?" Have I ever lied to you? ”
"I've lived here for most of my life, and you think you're the only one who thinks of digging a well? I don't know how many times I've been turned over here and out, so why do you think you're smarter and luckier than everyone else? ”
Yan Yu also replied: "I'm not smarter than you, I'm not luckier than you, I just don't want to sit still, so why not give it a go?" ”
Qin Dayou-for-tat: "You are just wishful thinking, useless efforts, no matter how much you pay, there is no return, why waste this effort?" ”
Yan Yu snorted: "Then you have seen it now, the gourd will always dry up one day, and now the water is just a little smaller, but if one day, there is really no water, will you dig wells everywhere, or sit and wait for death?" ”
Qin Dayou was dumbfounded by Yan Yu, and said sullenly for a long time: "If the Dragon Lord wants us to die, then we will die, there is no way for the sky to be endless, we worship sincerely, and it is impossible for the Dragon Lord to abandon us......"
"Lord Dragon? Hahaha, the temple has been burned to the ground, where does your dragon lord live now? ”
Qin Dayou's muscles burst out: "Don't blaspheme the gods!" ”
Yan Yu didn't quarrel with him anymore, but lowered his voice and said: "I have an idea, there is water in the gourd, this thing is too strange to say, I can't imagine that your dragon lord lives in the immortal statue, or let's let the archaeological team dig and see, maybe we can really dig out the water, and then I will personally put incense on the dragon lord!" ”
Although Yan Yu was only pretending to be half-joking, Qin Dayou's face changed greatly, he looked nervous, and said to Yan Yu with a fierce expression: "You dare! ”
He was about to continue to warn Yan Yu, but Qin Zhong hurriedly walked in from outside and said to Qin Dayou, "The professor of the archaeological team and that old Taoist priest are here......
Qin Dayou's face turned a little pale: "So fast? ”
His eyes fell on Yan Yu, and Yan Yu hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence: "I didn't say anything, I just woke up, and I came over before I had time to wipe the feces from my eyes, I don't believe you can see for yourself!" ”
Qin Dayou: "......"
