Chapter 437: Chaotic Clansmen
The group hurried to the woods, there was some breeze in the early morning, the leaves in the woods were making noise, Xiao Wu originally wanted to walk in the front of the team, but was pushed to the middle by several strong men in the same group, everyone was afraid that something would happen to him, the clan could not be without a patriarch for a day, and no one dared to let him take the lead.
Finally, everyone hurried and hurried to the forest, and when they arrived, everyone began to get nervous, and none of the people who picked mushrooms in the early morning dared to take a closer look, but they were already frightened. There are a lot of fallen leaves in the woods in early autumn, and people squeak when they step on it, and the coolness brought by the temperature of the person or the coolness of the heart spreads invisibly among this group of people.
Xiao Wu, who was standing in the middle, saw the tragic situation at a glance, the scattered limbs, the hideous corpses, and the winding bloodstains, the smell of blood in the air that was still strong after a night, all of which were predicting what terrible things had happened last night, and these terrible things were hidden in the woods of early autumn and became untold secrets.
Human instincts have a sense of reverence for life, and even people can't believe that they are enemies seeking revenge, so how can they be so cruel if they are human beings?
When Xiao Wu saw this scene, he immediately pushed away the clansmen who were now in front of him, and hurriedly ran to the middle of the two corpses, he trembled and didn't know which corpse to see first, as the patriarch, such a terrible thing happened in the jurisdiction, Xiao Wu's face was pale and scary, and his lips were trembling, and the clansmen behind him saw the patriarch looking extremely guilty, and they couldn't bear it, and the leader of the mushroom picker who led the way couldn't bear to pat Xiao Wu's shoulder, "Patriarch, it's not your fault." Now the important thing is for us to let the two brothers go to the ground first. ”
Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and he couldn't react to the leader's words. The two corpses, Xiao Wu has already recognized, they are Dali and Datou.
After autumn, the weather is cold, some time ago, the mountain over there in the clan ran a few wild boars down, wild boars took advantage of the night to destroy the village of the clan several times, the hard work of the crops people are miserable, then, he thought that it is best to send someone to patrol the night, hold a torch at night, and then knock on the gong, the wild boar will not dare to go down the mountain at will, Xiao Wu was proposed at that time, immediately got the support of the clan, the big head and the strong force is Mao Sui self-recommendation, to be the night watchman, these two people, are warm-hearted, They are willing to help anyone in the clan with a problem, they are strong, they are also good at growing crops, and they have a good reputation in the clan, he never thought that these two people would be such a result.
After the disagreement between the father and the mother happened, the father and mother basically did not communicate on weekdays, and Xiao Wu was sad when he looked at his father and mother, but he couldn't do anything.
Later, once, my father took my clan to the next mountain to open a barren mountain, thinking that it would be good to grow crops in the future, but unexpectedly, a huge rock fell on the mountain, and my father ...... Since then. The mother was depressed, and she couldn't say a word for a few days, Xiao Wu was sad, but she couldn't do anything, and she didn't go inside, and her mother was ......
At that time, the clan urgently needed the patriarch to take charge, and it stands to reason that Xiao Wu should succeed directly, but at that time, Xiao Wu was too young, and because of those things in the family, he could not convince the public, rumors spread in the clan, and Xiao Wu has always attributed the reasons for the elder brother and later his father and mother to himself, if it were not for himself, the brother would not leave, and the father and mother would not be suspicious, so Xiao Wu was not keen on the position of the patriarch, and he also had an arbitrary attitude towards those rumors, and let him go.
Later, it was Uncle Ji who woke him up, at that time the big head and the big man also supported him, Uncle Ji had prestige in the clan, suppressed the elders who opposed it, Dali and the big head, the people were kind, the people in the clan were good, and the people in the clan could listen to some of the words, and they were running around for him, and later, he succeeded to the position of the patriarch, and when he thanked them, he just scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It should be like this, it's all a matter of internal affairs." "No credit at all.
Such two people can't say a bad word, but now, they are in the wilderness...... The grief in Xiao Wu's heart can be imagined.
Xiao Wu glanced at Dali first, the corpse was completely stiff, Xiao Wu couldn't bear to look at it again, don't turn his face, not far away, the big head half of the corpse* was on the ground, the big head's eyes were big through, and the sharply constricted pupils were already gray, Xiao Wu put his hand on the big head's eyes, thinking about making him blind. Under the palms of the hands, the eyelids slowly close.
At this time, Xiao Wu suddenly found that on the neck of the big head, there were traces of being bitten by the teeth, and the two small holes were easily ignored under the blood stain, and several clansmen who came behind Xiao Wu also discovered this, and immediately, they turned around and ran to Dali, and checked carefully, sure enough, Xiao Wu heard them shouting, "Patriarch, patriarch, Dali's neck is also there." ”
In such an era of cold weapons, how could anyone kill two strong men like this. Xiao Wuqiang endured to look at the broken arm of the big head that was thrown not far away, and peeled off the clothes covering the arm, this feeling was too obvious, it was not caused by a sharp weapon at all, as if it was torn off by absolute force. This...... It will never be human.
The people who came with Xiao Wu also understood something, they were next to each other, and they were all trembling, "It's a demon, it's a demon, there are monsters in our clan!" The man in the lead trembled and expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Xiao Wu's face condensed, and he didn't say a word, and after a long time, his previously pale face gradually seemed to have a little temperature. "Let's take the bodies of the two brothers back first, and we'll talk about the rest." Xiao Wu spoke, and the people who came with him didn't dare to stay at all, and several people trembled and lifted the corpse, but they didn't dare to pick up the scattered minced meat, and hurriedly left the forest. Xiao Wu also followed, just when he was about to walk out of the forest, Xiao Wu settled down, and looked back at the forest, at this time the sun was already high, the sun shot into the forest, everything was like nothing happened, everything was the same as usual, Xiao Wu felt a little chill in his heart, and the person who walked in front saw that the patriarch had not yet followed, and shouted Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu turned around, and walked up to follow.
Back in the clan, the whole clan was in an uproar. The people here have lived here for a long time, and it is not too much to say that there is no quarrel with the world, and they have never seen such a terrible death in their lives.
The vigorous wife fainted several times when she saw her husband's corpse, and she couldn't speak, and the people in the clan couldn't bear to see it, but no one could help anything. Xiao Wu originally wanted to go to Dali's house to see what she could help herself, but she was pushed out by Dali's wife several times, she thought that Xiao Wu asked Dali to go out late at night to patrol the night, so that her husband had such a thing. Although this is actually very unreasonable, the people in the Night Patrol Clan all voted unanimously at the beginning, and everyone was sad when such a thing happened, but Xiao Wu looked at his wife who was rapidly decreasing, and couldn't bear to say a word, thinking that if she blamed herself for being able to help share some of her pain for Dali's death, then let her blame herself. couldn't enter Dali's house again, so Xiao Wu had to ask his clansmen to help him bring some coins and daily necessities to eat.
And Uncle Ji has been locked up at home since he knew about it, and he hasn't gone out for a long time, Uncle Ji is already old, and the affairs of the clan have long been out of control, Xiao Wu originally didn't dare to disturb, but in recent days, the panic in the clan has become more serious, Xiao Wu is really not experienced enough, and he really doesn't know how to deal with it better, so he had to come to discuss with Uncle Ji and listen to Uncle Ji's opinion.
When Xiao Wu walked to the door of Uncle Ji's house, the door of Uncle Ji's house happened to open, and Uncle Ji seemed to know that someone would come today. Xiao Wu walked in, just saw Uncle Ji sitting alone in front of the desk, incense was smoked on the case, Uncle Ji's crutches leaned to the side, saw Xiao Wu coming, didn't say anything, just beckoned him to pass, saw Uncle Ji, Xiao Wu felt a little calmer, walked over and sat opposite Uncle Ji.
Xiao Wu saw that there were a few turtle shells on the case, which ...... Xiao Wu has always known that Uncle Ji has the ability to divination, but although divination can trace the past and calculate the present, but this kind of leakage of heavenly secrets is often hindered by Yu Yangshou, since his father left, Uncle Ji has not touched these divination objects for a long time.
"Uncle Ji, ...... you" Uncle Ji seemed to know what Xiao Wu was going to ask, raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Xiao Wu not to speak first, let him talk. Uncle Ji coughed sullenly for a long time, Xiao Wu looked at Uncle Ji's face that seemed to have aged a lot, and knew that he must have been eaten by divination, and his heart was sour. Ji Bo saw Xiao Wu's expression, he knew what he was thinking, waved his hand, and said: "I'm in good health, don't give me this picture here, you guessed right, it was indeed a monster." ”
Xiao Wu sighed in his heart, monsters, it has always been just a rumor, no one dared to think that there was really a monster, it was always just a random guess, at this time, Xiao Wu had a sense of relief in his heart, but he didn't know how to react to what was about to happen later.
Since that incident, there has been chaos in the clan, and no one dared to come out of the several pairs of people who used to patrol the night together, and some of them dared to come out to see, but they were all tightly pulled by the relatives at home, and they did not agree to anything. The first time a foreigner who doesn't know enters the town, he almost thinks it's deserted.
Moreover, those clansmen who should have gone out to farm every day did not dare to go too far now, and the boundary on the other side of the mountain was personally led by my father to reclaim it, although my father ...... But it was definitely a good piece of land, and now because of this incident, because it was a little far from home, no one dared to go there anymore.
And since the night watchmen have withdrawn, the houses are closed at night, the wild boars on the mountains have begun to rage again, and the farmland and vegetable gardens have been trampled on at night.
After this incident, only a month or two, the clan was in chaos, the clansmen had no intention of farming, and the clan was declining day by day. And a group of clansmen who were ready to catch monsters either fell ill, or their legs fell, their hands were broken, and later, when it came to catching monsters, the clansmen began to retreat.
"So, Uncle Ji, is there anything you can do? Are we going to sit back and wait like this? Xiao Wu asked.
Ji Bo's hand rested on the turtle shell on the table, and he couldn't help rubbing it, and said slowly: "Wait a few days, someone will come to my clan." ”
