Chapter 855: Famine, Natural Disasters 12

Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan looked inexplicable.

Cheng Yuanxi looked left and right, and there was no one; After observing the surroundings again, he made sure that no one was there, and no one noticed them before he spoke, "Big brother and second brother, I called you here to discuss something with you." ”

"The third brother has something to say." Cheng Yuannan still had doubts on his face.

Cheng Yuandong nodded, "The three of us brothers have something to say." ”

Cheng Yuanxi covered his hands with his body to prevent the clansmen from seeing his movements; Then he stretched out his hand, and a grass with a little green was lying in his palm, "Big brother and second brother, what do you see?" ”

"This is alive?" Cheng Yuannan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Cheng Yuandong frowned, and also covered Cheng Yuanxi's hand with his body, glared at Cheng Yuannan unhappily, and said loudly: "What do you do when you see a rabbit making a fuss, the resources in the mountains are depleted, and the rabbit can't eat hay, it will definitely survive!" ”

Cheng Yuannan was alert and almost exposed.

However, their conversation still made people who were interested listen.

"There's a rabbit there?"

"Where's the rabbit?"

"Cheng Yuannan, where is the rabbit?"

Many people from the Cheng clan surrounded him.

Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly closed his palms to prevent people from seeing this grass; Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough that no one except the three of them could see it.

Cheng Yuandong vaguely warned Cheng Yuannan at a glance, turned his head and pointed in the direction of the northwest, and said with a smile: "The rabbit ran away and went over there." ”

"Ran away!" Someone said with regret.

"Waste Xing, Cheng Yuandong, Cheng Yuannan, Cheng Yuanxi, you don't know how to chase rabbits when you see them?"

Being questioned like this, Cheng Yuanxi frowned in displeasure, "The rabbit has four legs, you can chase it if you want to, Hugh has to climb our brother." ”

"You"

"Okay, okay, it's all my own brothers, dissipate the gas, all dissipate the gas; Don't hurt the harmony for the rabbit you haven't seen before, before Yuanxi found that the food was distributed to the clan, and they couldn't catch up when they saw it, right? A later man spoke out to persuade him, and this person was the third son of the patriarch and had a certain say in the clan.

"Hmph, they did it on purpose." The person who opened his mouth was thin and skinny, and he was a little sour when he spoke, "They told everyone about cassava, but they found it first, and who knows if they dug it up and hid it beforehand." ”

The patriarch's third son frowned suddenly, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

"Just say these words in front of us, when did the brothers of Uncle Dazhu's family hide their secrets? It's so chilling for you to say these things; Hurry up and apologize to the brothers Yuandong, Yuanxi, and Yuannan. ”

"I don't apologize, I'm right." The thin man stalked his neck, and he didn't admit his mistake.

Cheng Yuandong sneered, "Remember what you said today." ”

"Brother Yuandong, don't be like him, he just can't think clearly." The third son of the patriarch hurriedly appeased, the three brothers of Uncle Dazhu's family are all able to make deep friends, but they can't really chill their hearts; Thinking like this, he turned back to the person who said sour words, "Yun Qi came over to apologize, don't let my father come over to tell you in person." ”

Yun Qi slowly softened his neck, he was not convinced by the three brothers of Cheng Yuandong, but he had to obey the patriarch's family.

The head of the clan still has a lot of power in the clan, and he really has the heart to wear small shoes for people, but he can't run away.

"I'm sorry." Bow your head and turn your head and run away after saying a word.

The third son of the patriarch smiled and comforted, "Brother Yuandong, Brother Yuannan, Brother Yuanxi, you see this is making trouble; You also know that Brother Yunqi has a tendon in his brain, and his speech is not good, so don't take it to heart. ”

Cheng Yuanxi raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Yuannan smiled silently.

Cheng Yuandong, as the eldest brother, can't make the atmosphere not embarrassing or embarrassing, "We all know Yun Qi, Brother Qi doesn't care, we all know; Go back and take care of the patriarch, and we'll go back to our father." ”

"Okay, if you're not angry, then I'll go first!" Cheng Yuanqi, the third son of the patriarch, walked back with a smile.

When the others turned their backs, Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan turned around, and the smile on their faces fell.

Although Cheng Yuanqi is well-intentioned, the three of them are good enough in the clan, right? The heart is enough, right? When they really make trouble, they are the same existence that people can do whatever they want; An apology for the light, they can't go too far.

After all, in essence, they are the one who is looked down upon.

Cheng Yuanxi's eyebrows remained unchanged, compared to his two elder brothers, he was more calm.

Cheng Yuannan's eyes were dark, "Be optimistic about the children in the family, especially Mingyi and Mingyue; There must be more than one person in the clan who thinks so, and no matter how much we do, there are people who don't appreciate it. ”

"It's okay, they can't make waves." Cheng Yuan Xiyun said lightly, "As long as the patriarch can carry it clearly, there are so many people in a clan, not everyone is kind-hearted; We did what we had to do, and we didn't do it for anything else, but for the sake of our family's reputation and the safety of the rest of the journey. Whether they appreciate it or not is their business, the good things they did before, our family's reputation is enough, and then we just think more about ourselves. ”

Cheng Yuandong's eyebrows were a little less solemn.

Cheng Yuannan was still unhappy, "That being said, our brother also understands the truth; However, if you do a good deed, you will be ridiculed, can you be happy in your heart? ”

"They have nothing to do with us, they are related to the elderly, children, and wives in the family." Cheng Yuanxi emphasized.

Only then did Cheng Yuannan restrain some of his emotions.

Cheng Yuandong had a smile on his face, "The third brother is right, it's just right, the third brother said how the grass in your hand came from; Did you find something good? ”

"It doesn't have to be a good thing." Cheng Yuanxi said plainly, "I found a small valley, and the grass and trees in it are not dead; I suspect there is water in it, or even something to eat, so let's go and find out together. ”

The smile on Cheng Yuandong's face was even worse.

"Then go, call them together."

Cheng Yuannan looked up and wanted to call his sons over, Cheng Yuanxi covered the other party's mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't shout, Dad said, let's go and have a look; The children are gone, and no one will notice us when the three brothers go. ”

The three of them are the men in charge, and they must go out together to find food; With those previous experiences, even if someone sees them walking outside, they will pretend not to see it, after all, if they really find food, they will get a piece of the pie.

This is human inertia.

With the patriarch there, the clan will be united, but not without selfishness; If you are not in your position and do not seek your own government, the clansmen are more worried about their own families.

But it is precisely because of this that few of them are willing to look for food, which makes Cheng Yuanxi feel very uncomfortable; There is a kind of one in which the three brothers, and even the members of their family, should go and find food to distribute to the clan, and treat them as if they were people.

Coupled with Yun Qi's words, they were even more reluctant to share.
