Today's ancestor worship ceremony in Zhuyue Village was only held in the morning and stopped, because of the relationship between the two lives, the death was outrageous, and everyone's face was inevitably frustrated and afraid. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bai Zaha had already arranged for the elders to discuss this matter together, and then how to deal with it together, and everyone could figure out a way together, this kind of thing could not be decided by Bai Zaha alone.
There are a total of five elders in Zhuyue Village, and the elders here are very old, mainly headed by Bai Gouna, because the relationship between Bai Gouna and Bai Zaha is an uncle-nephew relationship, so once the two are convened, as long as the two people nod and agree to the matter, it is almost finalized, and the other four elders are at most giving advice, but they don't have any compassion, Bai Goona's people are respected by the whole village, he will naturally follow the advice of the four elders, and then make a summary to Bai Zaha, let it be implemented later.
At this moment, in the Baizha House, the expressions of the six people are extremely serious, their eyes look like a bay of clear water, they all look full of wisdom, and the solemnity of the atmosphere makes them look unfathomable.
"I think this matter still has to be discussed in the long run, the things stipulated by the ancestors, we can't touch it easily, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the ancestors, so my opinion is to slow down first, dispose of the bodies of the two and bury them, and then take a step back to see, if there is anything else going on, we will discuss it again and go together to see what is going on."
One of the elders said, his eyes were closed, like a wise old man, his expression was not shocked, and the other three elders all looked at him and nodded, and then said in agreement,
"Patriarch, I think this is feasible, I always feel that although these two things are not simple, but it should not be the second one, this matter is probably related to those three outsiders, it is better for us to start with them to investigate, first put them under house arrest, and then further inquire about their movements in the past few days."
From Bai Zaha's arrangement of the five elders until now, everyone's opinions are not very unanimous, and this dispute is the most intense, four of the elders think that this matter is big, and think that it is not so serious, so there is no need to offend the forbidden place, and watch quietly for a few days first.
Begouna's opinion was that the matter had something to do with the secrets in the cave, so he asked to be taken to the cave to see what was going on and then deal with it further, because he didn't want to see the young people of the village die one by one in such an unknown and mysterious way.
Several of them have lived for some years, and although they care about the secret existence of the cave, life and death are almost out of the way, as long as the lifeblood of the village continues.
As a result, because of this, the two parties have different suggestions, and they can't talk about it together, so the atmosphere has been insisting, although Bai Zaha is the patriarch, but the elders are all older than him, most of him still choose to obey better, if he says anything more, I'm afraid today's matter will not come to an end.
Bai Gouna slapped the table on the side and said angrily,
"Ridiculous, you just want to sit back and wait, thinking that everything will pass, you don't know the seriousness of the matter, if you don't take corresponding measures, I'm afraid it's not just the two of them who will disappear strangely, our entire village is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the clutches, you have lived for so long, why can't you change?"
The other elder was not convinced,
"It's because we've lived so long that we should not be surprised when we encounter things, and those who become big things should be pressed forward without changing their faces, so a little bit will make you so flustered, if you make a mistake, you won't end up with a big joke, and it will offend our ancestors, so I still stick to my principles, this matter is considered in the long run, not in a hurry, the more we have to analyze calmly at this time, don't let those people think that we are messed up because of this matter, let them have a chance."
Bai Gouna had to frown and shake his head, sighing in his heart,
"Confused, the older you get, the more confused you are, what Mount Tai presses on the mountain and the face does not change, if you encounter death, who dares to do this, a few people are right, but when they see the corpse, how can they not be so calm."
Bai Zaha said embarrassedly,
"Uncles, since everyone has their own reasons, I have a good way to do this."
The five elders all looked at Bai Zaha to see if he had any good ideas, and Bai Gouna said directly,
"If the patriarch has any plan for both, just say it! I don't want to argue with them anymore. ”
Bai Zaha's face turned serious,
"That's right, on the one hand, you think that it is something in the cave, and on the other hand, you think that this is not the case, so I will make it clear, both of them are my right-hand men, and I have a good relationship with them, so I have to give them an explanation, but I can't contradict the opinions of your elders, so I decided to wait for the two of them to finish the funeral, and then I will take someone to the cave to see what is going on, so that it is I, not our village, who violate the rules of the ancestors, so that if the ancestors under the spring are to blame, then blame me, It has nothing to do with the people in the village, this is the best way. ”
There was a little more tenderness in Bai Goona's eyes, and he looked at Bai Zaha, Bai Zaha wanted to sacrifice his life for righteousness, for the people of the village, for his right-hand man, and decided to do this, Bai Gouna understood.
"Patriarch, why don't I take someone with me, anyway, I'm already old, it's useless, if I need to bear the infamy at this time, everything will be borne by me, the patriarch is still young, and he shouldn't carry these things."
Bai Zaha looked at Bai Gouna and smiled tenderly,
"No, I am the head of the village, I must do this, it is my responsibility, if anything happens to me, my wife and children will leave it to my uncles."
The other four elders all had ugly expressions,
"It's ......."
The village can't be without a leader, Bai Zaha's statement is like a death, and it can't help but make the four of them feel a little shaken, although the rules of the ancestors are there, but the people are really dead there, and they are at the gate of Bai Zong'an, this is a clear fact, even if they want to escape, they can't escape after all, it is better to give up the small and take the big.
"Since the patriarch insists on doing so, then we will not be difficult for you, you can go if you want, but after the funeral of the two people is held, as for the three of them, they must not let them leave the village for half a step."
Bai Zaha and Bai Gouna looked at each other and nodded,
"The uncles agreed, then I will do it soon, and I will definitely find out the truth behind it, so that the two of them can rest in peace, as for the three people, they have to work together in this operation, so they can't run, uncles, don't worry!"
The four of them nodded one after another, and then said,
"In that case, then let's go back and prepare for the funeral for the two as soon as possible, and worry about other things for the patriarch."
Bai Zaha also nodded.
"Go, uncles."
