The clansmen secretly felt distressed when they saw that Lu Wanting, who was radiant in the past, was emaciated at the moment, and stepped forward to persuade and comfort her. [Reading.com] The chapters are updated the fastest
Lu Wanting couldn't help but look around the field with sadness, and then raised her voice: "Come on, pass on my order, the Lu family cannot be without a leader for a day, and from today onwards, I will temporarily take the position of patriarch." β
The clansmen were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then ran out happily and shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone, from now on, the eldest lady is the head of the family-"
The young clansmen were overjoyed when they heard this, and ran around to tell each other.
After the fourth elder returned to the dormitory, he just closed the door and sneered alone: "Hmph! The position of the head of this family is already in the bag, Lu Shoucai, you can also die!" Then he said with a hideous face: "Lu Yin, don't blame me for being ruthless, you forced all this." β
At this time, there was the shouting of the clansmen outside, and the four elders pushed the door out, and when they heard that Lu Wanting was going to take over the position of patriarch, they were shocked: "What?
Xiao Tian thought about it and always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the three elders before he died, as if he wanted to say something to himself, so he came to the city wall again and looked at the terrible corpse, hoping to find something.
Looking left and right, I didn't see anything wrong, and the clothes on the ground had already been burned, so there was no proof of death.
Xiao Tian still did not give up, and turned around his corpse three times, and suddenly found that his collarbone was traumatized, and the time was still short, and he had not yet recovered.
"Why is this? Who was he caught? Was he forced to do it? But since he was already free from the clutches of the devil, why did he still do this act, he was already dead, why did he destroy his own people when he knew that he was going to die?
"Hmm, what does this mean, was it unintentional when he was struggling in pain, or is there something else hidden?" Xiao Tianpan thought for a moment, let go of his spiritual power, and looked at his fist-clenched palm, only to see that his hand turned out to be a handful of dirt. Xiao Tian turned into a big hand with his mental power and grabbed the dirt and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it, but he couldn't see what the reason was.
"Could it be that the secret is buried in the direction of his finger?" Xiao Tian climbed to the top of the city and looked at it, and then resolutely searched for it.
Along the way, there was no trace of the grass and trees on the ground, and the soil was lighter than the color in the hand. I searched until I was staying in the stone house, but I found nothing, and I didn't find anything suspicious when I jumped over the stone house to the opposite side of the island. He shook his head helplessly and put the soil away, ready to make plans for the future.
The young clansmen in the Lu Mansion were cheering to celebrate Lu Wanting as the head of the family, and the four elders saw this scene with a cold light in their eyes, and they were about to go out to fight, but they stopped after thinking about it.
After thinking for a long time, he finally showed a smug smile on his face: "Hehe, it's okay, it's up to you to take the blame for Lao Tzu and bear the revenge of all ethnic groups!" Then he flashed out and saluted Lu Wanting from a distance: "Wanting is benevolent and righteous, stand up in times of crisis, and shoulder the great responsibility of rejuvenating the clan!"
Lu Wanting hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fourth grandfather, don't say that, this is going to torment me, and I have no choice but to do it." Speaking of which, Lu Wanting wanted to speak and stopped.
The fourth elder hurriedly said: "The head of the family does not need to be too humble, the clansmen believe that you have the ability to lead the clansmen to govern the Lu family to prosperity." Then he said to the tribesmen, "Are you right? Why don't you meet the head of the house?"
Lu Wanting hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, I will do my best for the Lu family!"
The fourth elder sighed and said, "Alas, my clan is so bad and difficult, it's really hard for you!"
"Fourth grandfather, don't say that, as a descendant of the Lu family, you should ......"
The four elders nodded and continued, "The existing matter is imminent, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. β
"The fourth grandfather is not shy about what he said. Lu Wanting asked.
The fourth elder stroked his beard and said, "The second brother is loyal, informal, and has worked hard for the family all his life, but he has ended up like this. The important thing is that there is no one to guard the Hua family now, and I am afraid that I will lose it after a long time! β
Lu Wanting's heart was suddenly in turmoil after hearing this, and she looked for Xiao Tian's figure everywhere, hoping that he would help her with ideas, but Xiao Tian was still in the jungle at this time and had not yet arrived.
Lu Wanting had no choice but to ask the four elders, "Who does the fourth grandfather think is competent in my clan?"
After hesitating for a while, the fourth elder said, "If the patriarch can be trusted, it is more appropriate for me to go in person." β
"But what if you leave here?" Lu Wanting frowned.
"The people of the clan are united, and there will be no problem with the patriarch and Xiaotian worshipping. The four elders said firmly.
Lu Wanting hesitated for a moment and said, "Then according to the words of the fourth grandfather." β
The four elders were secretly happy when they heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "For the sake of the Lu family, even if I am broken, I will not hesitate, as long as I am here, I will never let my clan's hard-earned clan land lose half a point." β
"There's Fourth Grandpa Lao!" Lu Wanting saluted.
"Without further ado, I'll pick some of my clansmen and set off, so as not to cause any changes after the news spreads!" he turned and left.
When Xiao Tian rushed back, several large ships carrying 5,000 Lu family Zhuangding sailed away from the coast.
Seeing Xiaotian come back, Lu Wanting couldn't take care of it, and threw herself into his arms and cried: "You weren't there just now, I'm so scared!"
Xiao Tian wanted to push her away, but when he saw her pitiful appearance, his heart softened, and he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Then he took out the handful of dirt and said, "This is what I found in the hands of the third elder, when he held the mud and sand in one hand and pointed to the forest with the other, but I went to the forest to find no clues. β
"Oh?" Lu Wanting took the dirt and looked at it, "This dirt seems to be from the pit." β
"What, why are you so sure?" asked Xiao Tian excitedly.
Lu Wanting burst into tears and said with a smile: "The soil in the pit has not been exposed to wind and sun, so it is more viscous and darker in color. The soil on the ground has been weathered for a long time, and the color will naturally be duller. β
After hearing this, Xiao Tian hurriedly said, "How many veins does your Lu family have on the island?"
"It's the one you live in, and it didn't come out of the mine many years ago! Lu Wanting said.
Xiao Tian thought about it, and the direction that the third elder pointed to was there, and he grabbed Lu Wanting's hand excitedly and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them came all the way to the pit, looking at the mouth of the pit that had long been razed to the ground, Xiao Tian frowned and said, "Are there any other passages?"
Lu Wanting shook her head and said: "The main mine is here, and generally speaking, there will be a convective blowhole, but it won't be too big, and I don't know where it is." β
"Who was in charge of this in the first place?" asked Xiao Tian.
"Fourth grandfatherβ"
"Hmm, what about the others?" asked Xiao Tian hurriedly.
"Before you came, he took someone to take over the Hua family's land!"
"What, how many people did he take?" asked Xiao Tian.
"Five thousand strong men. β
Xiao Tian took two steps back when he heard this, and Lu Wanting hurriedly said when he saw this: "What's wrong?
Xiao Tian shook his head and sighed, "Forget it! When the water comes out, you will naturally understand! Now you arrange for someone to dig the pit again." β
