Burton's abacus seems to have run short.

For the next ten days, Borg (Cao Cao) was nowhere to be seen, and the other party did not appear until the elder Brady resigned.

Under the auspices of the elders of the clan, the funeral of old Brady was also handled in a decent manner, Kailin's tears had dried up, the whole person was haggard and inhuman, and the maid Joanna had also lost weight.

After the funeral, the elders of the clan finally showed their hideous faces.

In the lobby of the old village chief's house, a lot of people gathered in a hurry, most of them were some clansmen who were on the top, and some came to join in the fun.

On the square table in the center of the hall was a portrait of old Brady and flowers, and Kailin stood aside, dressed in a black filial piety dress that had not yet been changed.

"Karin, your parents left early, and now that old Brady is gone, you are left alone, but what are your plans?" asked the new patriarch, Brian.

"I ...... I ......" At the thought of the sorrow, Kailin wept silently again.

"I discussed it with a few old people in the clan, you are still young, and you are a woman, it is difficult to support the whole family independently, the fields and mountains left by old Brady are numerous, you are afraid that you will not be able to take care of them alone, and for the time being, part of it will be returned to the family, and the clansmen will take care of it for you, and compensate you for some money and food, and you will also be at ease, and after you become an adult, you will return it, what do you think?"

Kailin stopped crying, and looked at the patriarch in a daze, she was only young and delicate, but she was not stupid, this so-called "temporarily returning to the family" is a disguised robbery and encroachment, after taking it, do you still expect them to return it when the time comes? When the old village chief was here, these fields and fruit forests had always been taken care of by a few servants who had been hired for a long time.

And now, in this huge family, only she and the maid Joanna are left.

"I will take care of the fields and forests left by my grandfather. Karin whispered.

Brian frowned, and his face suddenly sank: "You are young, and you are a thin woman, you can't pick your shoulders and can't lift your hands, and there is only one maid left in the family, how can you take care of these fields and forests? You must know that these fields and forests are all gifts from the heavens, and they are the blessings of the gods, and if you let them be wasted like this, you will suffer disaster! At that time, our whole clan, and even the whole village, will suffer with you!"

Brian's words were quite heavy, how could a little girl Kaylin bear it, her small mouth opened and opened, but there was no sound, looking around, there were not a few immediate family members left in Grandpa Brady Sr.'s family, so many people present, all of them were indifferent and greedy, and they were weak, how much ability to resist. When I thought of my grandfather Brady Sr. when he was alive, he took good care of many relatives, and after he died, these people did not remember the old kindness and repaid virtue with grievances, and couldn't help but feel a little angry, and lowered their heads.

When the maid Joanna saw that the young lady was bullied like this, her face was flushed with anger, and she said indignantly: "The old village chief's bones are not cold, you elders actually persecute the young lady like this, it is extremely shameless and frenzied......"

"You little maid, you dare to be presumptuous here!" a young man interrupted Jona's words in a strange way, but it was the eldest grandson of the new patriarch Brian, Alger, this Alger has nothing to do all day, wandering around the village, mingling with a group of gangsters, is a character who deceives good and fears evil, seeing a little maid pointing at her grandfather, where can she bear it, "This is the internal affairs of our Gilster family, which turn to get you to interject indiscriminately, and then dare to talk nonsense, don't blame us for being unkind to you... ...”

Joanna glared at the young man hatefully, trembling with anger, and was about to argue a few words, but one hand was tightly grasped by Kailin, with this Alger's virtue, everything can be done, Kailin is afraid that Joanna will offend the other party hard, and really do something to Jona, and the identity of Jona's maid will make the other party more unscrupulous.

Seeing that the other party was shocked, a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes, and the expression on his face softened a lot, and he comforted him: "Kailin, you are a member of our Gilster family, although old Brady is gone, we are all your relatives, how can we ignore you? In addition, you are almost at the age of marriage, you can consider making a choice among the clansmen, if you choose a foreigner, the other assets left by old Brady are to be recovered from the clan, and the ancestral property of our Gilster family cannot be left out at will......"

Kaylin looked up again, glaring at Brian in horror.

"Many young men in the clan are good-looking, and there are not a few intermarriages in our family, so you have to think about it......" Brian didn't care, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, the eldest grandson Alger has admired Kailin for a long time, and has been suffering from no chance, after the death of old Brady, Kailin was lonely and helpless, and was robbed of most of her property, it is the time of fragility and emptiness, just take advantage of the void, and then design it well, let Alger watch xiàn watch xiàn, are you afraid that this half-grown girl will not be obedient? It's really not possible, just let Alger use some means to cook the raw rice into rice, and his family and the old Brady family are just relatives, and they don't have much blood relationship, but they don't have much psychological burden.

Alger greedily stared at Kailin, who was dressed in filial piety, even though the other party was so haggard, but it also had a different flavor, since his grandfather Brian agreed to this matter, his mind became more and more lively, and when he thought that he could finally press the arrogant white swan under him, he was full of blood and blood, and the blood of the beast was boiling, and he couldn't even help himself.

Bolton, who was sitting quietly on the side, saw the whole process in his eyes, smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at Lilith beside him, but Lilith didn't have much of a good face, if it weren't for Bolton receiving a lot of benefits from the new patriarch, promising to stand by and watch, and be a witness, she really wanted to go up and teach a hard lesson, these greedy clansmen saw that it was profitable, and they bullied this pair of weak masters and servants like this, which made her indignant in her heart, who was also a woman.

Bolton also has some ideas about the wealth in the village, but he doesn't dare to mess around, and occasionally extorts and extorts, and it is not a big deal to steal some by trickery, and if he forcibly occupies it, let those people in the town know, and if he stabs the lord, he will be in trouble. And these people in the village, using the name of the family to rob and encroach, and properly dredge up some relationships, even if the lord knows, he will only think that it is the internal affairs of these families and turn a blind eye.

What Bolton is worried about is that the Borg who has never appeared, if he does not take revenge, he will not be able to sleep well.

Originally, he spread the news everywhere, wanting to make the other party uneasy, so he hurried back to the village, and then took advantage of the other party's negligence to take precautions, lurking at the entrance of the village and attacking him with a strong bow.

But the other party suddenly miraculously disappeared, and no news came.

This made him anxious, and he had to wait patiently.

Where is this bastard boy?

A gust of wind suddenly blew into the lobby, bringing a chill to the bone, and everyone tightened up and looked out of the door in surprise.

At some point, the hidden door opened, and then, there was a gentle sound of footsteps, although the sound was not loud, but it seemed to sound directly in the hearts of everyone, unusually clear, and with a unique rhythm.

Bolton stood up, the look on his face becoming grim.
