CHAPTER XXXIII

Long Chuchen's steps were small and slow.

In the eyes of the clansmen seated, dragging mud and water is full of meaning, but the clansmen are puzzled, so many pairs of eyes pay attention to him, or with the playful eyes of the clown in the theater, why is he still swallowing slowly, is it that the contempt and disdain of others is a reward in an alternative meaning for him?

Taking a step back, and then probe, it was very coincidental that this seat was empty, and Long Chuchen's mood stopped, and his eyes gradually showed interest.

The situation is so miserable, and the young man's requirements are also unimaginably low in the past, leaning over slightly, looking at who is the surname of the empty seat?

The eyes as bright as the stars lost their luster in an instant, and they became dull and dull, and the names of several unfamiliar clansmen were clearly reflected on the small and delicate paper paste.

"Long Zheng, Long Zijia, Long Yuanjun, Long Deng Peng. Silently chanting in his mouth, the expression on Long Chuchen's face was extremely complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness, and he couldn't tell whether it was confusion?

With Long Chuchen as the center, the deep gaze of the nearby clansmen almost formed a terrifying whirlpool that chose people to devour, wanting to devour and strangle the young man.

The deep gaze seems to have added the attribute of being able to spread and spread, and slowly, the circle is growing and widening.

No matter how dark the dark side of the world is, there will always be a relatively bright light in that unknown corner, even if she is incomparably faint, but the people in the darkness see her, which is tantamount to a magnificent beacon of majesty.

At this moment, Long Chuchen suddenly heard a weak word, although he didn't know its direction, he didn't know where it came from, and he didn't even know whether the voice was male or female.

"Young patriarch, don't waste any more effort, back, back. ”

Long Chuchen looked around, trying to find the voice, the scene that could be met in his eyes, the same way, all the changes did not deviate from his origin, he was like a funny clown in the troupe for fun, that kind of banter was the same, that kind of ridicule and disdain, but fortunately, he didn't have the eyes that he hated and hated the most and would even stir up the endless killing intent in his heart.

High on the ladder, representing the supreme power of the family, I don't know when, the big names of the family have gathered, they are calm, leisurely and calm, quietly gathered everything that happened under the stairs, and did not see them move, as if they had been rehearsed in advance, almost indifferent, cold bystanders.

The silent change of attitude of the clansmen gradually changed the eager atmosphere of the family feast, no, it should have become more eager to laugh, and the way of trampling on the dignity of others was based on the pleasure of youth.

Even immersed in the sea of glory where the clansmen gathered, Long Shixin was keenly aware of the bursts of unspeakable and inexplicable joy among the clansmen, and threw out a few searching glances without leaving a trace.

When the last gaze inadvertently hit the young man who was walking slowly and with a different face, Yingying's smile spread like a delicate flower blooming in summer, and her stunning face instantly became cold like frost, and the coldness hit people.

Cutting off countless hesitations from the heart and from the mind, the girl resolutely left the place where the people of the tribe offered sincere respect.

The girl took a step at her feet, and a strong and resolute palm suddenly appeared behind her, holding the girl's arm.

Looking back, it was completely unexpected by the girl, Long Yuewen smiled kindly, and shook his head slowly, and the meaning revealed in it was naturally self-evident.

The girl stubbornly persisted, ignoring this, and gently broke free from the shackles of that arm, and stepped forward.

Countless clansmen watched, watched, and revered, the girl was like a white and cold lotus flower on the top of the majestic snow-capped mountain, breaking through many obstacles and blooming beside Long Chuchen.

"Early morning, sitting in Sister Shixin's position. As she spoke, Long Shixin pulled the young man's hand irrefutably.

And in this moment of lightning, the girl was very entangled before, and the choice about her position was finally clear.

"Whatever he did...... He is him, he is Long Chuchen, the person who has guarded him for many years...... That's enough. The girl thought silently in her heart, "What's more, can he betray the enemy?"

Long Chuchen raised his delicate face like a Lingyue Elf, glanced at the white hand like mutton fat jade that was tugging at his arm, the corners of his mouth outlined a faint smile, and the other free hand was raised gently, pulling away the girl's beautiful hand that was holding him, and said, "Sister Shixin, I think that there is no second person in the family who knows me better than you. ”

The girl's heart was like a calm and waveless lake, and suddenly rippled like a waveless lake.

"No one in the family knows you better than me, yes! Sister is really wrong this time, I thought you had changed after three years of training. Again, a monologue that is not shared, reverberates.

The two sides looked at each other, speechless.

High up, on the rostrum symbolizing the rights of the family, from left to right, the second seat, the people seated have moved.

I saw Elder Long Yu standing up alone, with a solemn face and a serious expression, with a glance, and then a thick voice swayed.

"The night is coming, the people in the family cherish the time, the family banquet is indeed a rare event in the clan, please enter the heart. After speaking, sit down.

With a reminder from the family elder, Long Yuewen and Long Ming walked in unison when they heard the sound, and walked towards Shi Shiran, who was at the head of the line.

Long Chuchen let go of the girl who was blocking him, a smile sprouted, and said, "They can't wait, Sister Shixin." ”

The girl wanted to stop him, especially when he took the first step, the two hands that fell on his side almost subconsciously moved, but the words of the young man just now, at that moment, inexplicably echoed in his ears.

Some brutally wiped out the idea of "wanting to turn around" in their minds, lowered their heads, and immediately, held their heads high, their spirits were flying, and they recovered their pride as the family's three stars.

And the girl's back, Long Chuchen was completely reflected in the back/scene, obscure, unnoticed, perhaps, even the qualifications as the back/scene are far from the same.

He walked without distraction, stopping at the end of the seat, even in the last row, there were four.

The boy was helpless, and there was only one filter, from left to right, starting in turn.

The first, no.

The second, no.

The third, no.

Long Chuchen paused next to the last seat, the young man's good-looking eyebrows gently condensed, and looked at the seat in front of him that was very suitable for the current situation of the Long family.

Dilapidated, decaying, and old.

At first sight, you will feel the vast breath from the bottom of your heart, and then you will ask, "Can this seat still carry the weight of one person?"

Take two steps forward and bow your head.

Sure enough, in the lower right corner, a brand new and delicate paper sticker, the three words "Long Chuchen" were impressively listed, and when he reached out and touched it, there was a thin layer of dust on the seat.

Long Chuchen was speechless, his heart sank to the bottom, and in an instant, the wood was dead and ashes, and all thoughts were silent.

Bitterness and sourness rose from the heart, gradually spread to all parts of the limbs and body, and then flowed back into the ethereal mind, and finally, all the uncontrollable were piled up into the eyes as brilliant as the stars, and then under the light of the magic crystal lamp, some stars in the young man's eyes continued to flicker.

"Ahem. ”

The hand clenched into a fist was hidden in front of his mouth, and the figure in the center slowly stood up, his eyes wandered around, and everywhere he looked, he was basically full, nodded slightly, and then said: "The patriarch announced that the family banquet will start immediately." ”

As soon as Long Zhan finished speaking, a team of smiling and sweet-looking maids walked out on the left side of the deep courtyard, and there were also the same number of waiters on the other side.

They held huge trays of beautifully styled dishes neatly arranged in their hands, steaming hot and fragrant.

Suddenly, the expectation in the eyes of most of the clansmen surged at the same moment, and even a very small number of clansmen had reflective droplets hanging on the corners of their mouths, and they were even more eager for those maids to walk faster, faster.

And at this time, no one will notice that behind the young man named Long Ban who is sitting at the head of the column, there is a wolf-like tiger, tricky and mean gaze containing ** naked wild hope.

This gaze came from Long Qin, one of the two juniors who was entrusted by the family elders to set up the family banquet hall, and the one who had a fierce quarrel with Long Ban.

There are only four seats at the top of the list, and the three stars of the family each occupy one seat, and Long Ban confused the family elders with rhetoric and won the fourth seat, so Long Qin can only stoop to the back of the top seat, "succumbing", which is exactly what he imagined in his heart.

"The family banquet, externally, has always been one of the important reasons why my Long family is famous in Duolun City, and internally, it has played a huge role in promoting the gathering and unity of the clansmen to make them work together with one heart and one mind. ”

There is nothing new, it will always be such a useless opening statement, a layer of unchanging clichΓ©s, the tradition of the Long family banquet.

At the head of the table, Long Ming, a looming look of disgust surged up on his face, very light and light, and no one noticed.

This sentence will be repeated every time at the family banquet, but Elder Long Yu does not have that impatience, on the contrary, every time more and more proud, passionate, the old man always firmly believes that the loyalty and honor of the clan to the family comes from the bits and pieces of life, and the details determine success or failure.

The elder took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and the next thing that needed to be told was more important than the mountains, and even said that it was about the survival of the family. In order to win the approval of those old guys, it took a lot of effort and paid a certain price.

"At the same time, there is another meaning of the family feast, that is, there is a big event in the clan, and the clan needs to know about it, and they need to contribute their own strength to it, is it a big event? Naturally, there are good and bad, but I am very glad that this time the big event is good, very good, and full of joy. ”

Elder Long Yu's angular and sharp face was as sharp as a knife, and in an instant, it melted a little stiff, revealing some softness, and he couldn't tell whether it was hypocrisy or sincerity, and suddenly stretched out his arm and pointed at it from afar.

That was the direction in which the boy was sitting.

The crowd was amazed.
