The man did not take the boy home, but left a sentence, "I will go back to Xiling to hunt, and you will go home." Before the rain, remember to sow the grain seeds. When I come back, if the seedlings in the seedling field are green, I will take you to a place and show you the swordsmanship on the bridge railing. If the seedlings are not green, I will beat you up as usual. ”

Ren Pingsheng didn't have time to pay attention to the last sentence of his words, and asked, "Is it really a swordsmanship on the bridge railing?"

"Yes. After the man finished speaking, he took advantage of the moonlight and left.

Under the mountain, the father and son are hunters.

An eleven-year-old hunter who walks dozens of miles home from the wilderness is not a matter at all.

That night, dozens of villagers came to Xingzhi School one after another. After these villagers had dinner, they received oral news from their neighbors, ordering each branch of the Ren family to send a representative to the Xingzhi School to discuss the matter.

In the lecture hall, there was a crowd of people and a lot of voices. It can be said that the group of people in the lecture hall can represent all the families in Si'an Village, except for the maverick hunter Ren Qiang's father and son.

"Haven't the patriarchs greeted them this morning? Tomorrow, people from all houses will go to the Si'an River to salvage the bridge stones and rebuild the stone bridges. An old man who was smoking a dry cigarette said to a few people around him.

A middle-aged man with a round face and a slightly chubby face, with a habitual smile on his face, said in a worried tone: "In my opinion, I'm afraid things are not so simple." Think about it, how many things have happened in the past two years? I don't know what monsters on the other side of Nantouling have already caused panic in the village; fortunately, there was a way to deal with it later, although there were still casualties among the clansmen, but after all, they stopped. ”

"I haven't taken a breath yet, but the fairy bridge has collapsed again, and there is not even any scum left! I'm afraid this matter is even more mysterious than that of Nantouling......

"Fat man six, I guess, is it because you have a wife who is like a flower and jade, and you also married a three-room concubine, the days are too moist, and you are jealous. A man with a slight bow on his waist and a sick look said with a lewd look on his face, "In my opinion, hurry up and release what you are tired of using and let it out for everyone to share and share. ”

The topic became meaty, and there were several listeners who pricked up their ears at once.

The chubby man named Fat Man Six, when he heard the dirty words of the sick man, his heart was angry, his face turned red, but he didn't dare to attack. The man's words really touched his sore spot - isn't it, he has really been a little ostentatious all these years?

"Don't worry, your concubines, all of them are plump and strong, give them to us, and our bodies can't afford it. The sick man patted Fat Man Liu's shoulder and directly changed the topic, "But I feel that after all, there is someone in our clan, either who hurts the heavens and harms reason, or it is the fate of the vice-heavenly killing, attracting these evil demons and causing everyone to suffer together." ”

"Yes, otherwise, why did so many incidents arise for no reason?" a farmer with an honest face nodded slowly.

Next to the farmer was a tall man with a fair face. For some reason, when everyone said this, he showed a sad look, as if he had touched something sad.

Although the sick man was stirring up a topic, a pair of slippery eyes were always rolling on everyone's faces, and everyone's expressions were in their eyes.

He patted the white man's shoulder, sighed and said, "Gao Laobin, everyone actually felt the same way about your son last year." Hey, it's a talent, and everyone loves it, and I don't know which god killed it, and which monster it attracted. After saying that, he shook his head again and again, sighing.

The white man who was called Gao Laobin was touched and a little sad, but in the end he tried to endure it, and said to the sick man with a slightly trembling voice, "Ma Guiqi, you said that we are Si'anzhai, who would do such a thing? The dog died young, it was his own short life, but this kind of thing, you can't just let it go, whose child is not a child?"

Ma Guiqi is a sick man who provoked the topic, his real name is Ren Jingping, because he is the seventh in this room, and he has a long and slippery waist, so he is called Ma Guiqi.

He listened to Gao Laobin's words, pretended to be contemplative, and said slowly: "Let's Si'an Village, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is all the atmosphere of simple folk customs and harmonious neighbors. If you want to say who can do something that hurts nature and reason, I guess, no. However, it is not impossible to say that because there are too many killings in the generations, the karma of sins is too heavy, and the birth of ominous people with heavenly killing destiny is born. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Guiqi's voice stopped abruptly, as if he was reluctant to continue.

"Yes, the killing is too heavy, and this is also to be punished, but don't even kill everyone. Someone immediately said.

"But in our village, who would do such a heavy killing?"

"In our village, there is no butcher, so there is only one possibility. ”

"Hunter?"

"Yes, you think, their family has been passed down for generations, and this is retribution. The old man has never lived long, and he has been such a lonely family of two or three people for generations. ”

"That's it, especially now this kid, as soon as he was born, he killed his mother! It can be seen that he was born an ominous person. ”

......

Everyone, you and me, a small group's hot topic, suddenly spread throughout the lecture hall, the spearhead pointed, gradually unanimous, all inseparable from the hunter father and son.

There are many people, a guess, it is easy to form a decision, and with a decision, then all the people work together to think about countermeasures.

"Why hasn't the patriarch come yet?" I don't know who in the crowd suddenly shouted. But I saw the master of the school, who was dressed in white and fluttering, and his posture was like a sword, and he came from outside the door.

Ren Chongshan intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Ma Guiqi. Ma Guiqi remained silent and nodded slightly. The white-clothed swordsman walked to the pulpit in front of the crowd without stopping.

He stretched out his right hand to the crowd, pressed it twice, and the crowd of people who were talking about it suddenly fell silent.

"Uncles and brothers, elders. Ren Chongshan cleared his throat and said, "Everyone knows that in the past two years in Si'an Village, strange things have continued, first there are demons and evil spirits in Nantouling, which have caused disaster to the township, and even killed people. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Chongshan's eyes swept over Gao Laobin's sad face, but he did not stop.

"It disturbs people and animals, and everyone is in danger. also lost the whole clan to raise money, invited Langshang Taoist from Shanghe Village, and gave a countermeasure. Now there is a sacrifice every month, so that the tribesmen can choose to send boys, and take turns to send sacrificial offerings to Nantouling, so that the village can be a little peaceful. But every group of people who went to worship the demons still had occasional casualties. Whoever catches the lot and catches the boy to give the sacrifice is an errand that ties his life to the belt of his trousers, but no one can shirk it. Could it be that this is the life of a young man of my Ren clan for a hundred years and a thousand years in the future?"

Everyone's faces unconsciously showed indignation.

"Now, a wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. The Yingsheng Bridge left by the ancestors hundreds of years ago was originally very strong, and it could not be shaken by natural disasters and floods, but it collapsed for no reason under today's sunny calendar. Whether it is a natural or man-made disaster, it is not a punishment from heaven or earth. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, we can't let the entire Ren clan of Si'an Village sit back and wait to be killed. ”

"Yes, in any case, the hunter's own killing is too heavy to affect the whole clan. ”

"In my opinion, tomorrow is the day to go to Nantouling to worship demons, and this time we should let the hunter boy go. The person who causes trouble is good, and he doesn't even need a ranking number to draw lots. ”

Emotions are surging again. Fear makes it easier for people to arouse resentment.

Seeing that the topic was almost over, Ren Chongshan stretched out his palm again, pressed it twice, and said loudly: "Since everyone has already judged, I can't go against the people's feelings." It's just that according to the results of the previous lot, tomorrow it will be the turn of the dog to go up the mountain, not to mention, there is the rule of the ancestors......"

"What kind of rules are not ruly, he deserves that Ren Qiang will not come today, and the result of the lottery that everyone recognizes is that his family is Ren Pingsheng, can he still rely on it?"

"That's it, anyway, the scourge boy in his family goes, I have no opinion. ”

"Yes, I support it as well. ”

Ren Chongshan's face was solemn, and he sighed and said, "Since all the uncles and clansmen have this intention, then I don't want to say much." But if it reached my father's ears, it probably wouldn't work out. As the patriarch of his family, he has always acted impartially. The rules passed down from generation to generation of patriarchs are the line of hunters, and no matter what generation it is, there is no need to involve the danger of the clan. As for the reason, no one knows......"

"What's there to worry about, everyone is tight-lipped about this, how can the old patriarch know?" Ma Guiqi shouted in a shrill guttural voice, "I'm not talking about the old patriarch, but this kind of major event related to the future and safety of the whole clan can't be too corrupt after all, otherwise, if you stick to the rules of hundreds of years ago, you will always be the villain now." ”

"Yes, why do you want all of us to take our lives for the sake of his hunters? I'm afraid that's why this family, ignoring the life and death of the race, is causing evil everywhere. Gao Laobin said, looking excited.

"In that case, you might as well take advantage of everyone's presence now and set a plan. ”

The atmosphere in the lecture hall finally eased up, and everyone once again exchanged their heads and expressed their opinions.

In fact, dealing with a widowed man and a motherless orphan, how much consideration is required, and the method has already been decided, and now the scene is just a scene to cover people's ears.
