Chapter 22: Attacked in the middle of the night

Wu Youren personally commanded at the scene, and after three days of cleaning the pit next to the Wu family's ancestral grave, the big stone had fallen, was basically cleaned up.

All the stone tablets with handwriting, even if there were only a few brushstrokes on them, were all transported to the discussion room on the side of the ancestral hall of the clan.

Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue pieced together day and night for three days and three nights, except for less than a hundred clearly legible words and a few intermittent sentences that formed them, they did not get a satisfactory result for Wu Jizong and the others.

The word that appears the most is "potential", followed by "grass and trees, water, fire, heaven, earth, yin and yang, light", and of course, the word "zhiye" as a verbal particle.

There are only a few words that can make up the meaning.

"Lingxiao (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine) style", "momentum like a bamboo", "moving like a rabbit" and other fragmentary words.

The most complete sentence is:

“...... Walking in the dark night, although it can be seen from afar, it is not deep when it enters the clear water. ”

After pondering and pondering, Wu Jizong knew that it was impossible to get what he wanted from these broken stone chips at the moment, so he immediately ordered Wu Youren:

"Catch Wu Zheng back as soon as possible. Remember, you can only succeed, you can't fail, and you have to keep him alive. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wu Chun again, and said in a rare gloomy tone:

"As long as I live Wu Zheng and don't die Wu Zheng, no matter who kills him, or is seriously injured that is difficult to treat, he will be buried with him. ”

"Although the third grandfather can rest assured, a little Wu Zheng is guaranteed to be caught. ”

Even if Wu Jizong guessed that Wu Zheng was very likely to have obtained the things in the pit, he would not believe that Wu Zheng would understand the meaning at all, so naturally he didn't think that Wu Chun's words were big words.

"Don't cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"Yes. ”

Wu Jizong did not set a date for Wu Youren and Wu Chun, but Wu Jixue instructed:

"Don't be careless about anything, even if it's something that feels like you're in a hurry. Furthermore, sooner rather than later, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. ”

Although Wu Chun agreed verbally, he didn't take Wu Jixue's words seriously in his heart.

It's just that none of them expected that in the middle of the night when they finished cleaning the pothole, the family ancestral hall suddenly burst into flames.

When the fire woke up the sleeping Wu family and rushed to the ancestral hall to put out the fire, they found that the ancestral hall was already full of people from Liulinbao.

Not only is the ancestral hall full of people from Liulinbao, but also outside Wujiabao, countless lanterns and torches were lit up for a while, and it is obvious that Wujiabao has been surrounded by the people of Liulinbao.

The treacherous and cunning Wu Jizong immediately thought of the reason why Liulinbao attacked Wujiabao late at night, it must be the matter of cleaning the pit next to the ancestral tomb, which was snooped on by Liulinbao, or the news was deliberately leaked to Liulinbao by some people in the clan.

Although Wu Jizong never believed that the Wu family would have one mind, but in the last three days and three nights, he has been focusing on sorting out the gravel chips in the pit, and he has indeed neglected to take precautions.

At this time, there was no need for the patriarch Wu Youren to come forward to deal with it, Wu Jizong knew that Wu Youren's weight was not enough for the other party to look at, so he stepped out of the crowd and directly faced the people of Liulinbao who were burning outside the fire ancestral hall, and said lightly:

"Wu Jizong is here, please come out and speak. ”

"Haha-,"

With a loud laugh, a person from the crowd who was almost seventy years old, but his body was much burlier than Wu Jizong, looked at Wu Jizong and saluted:

"Liu Chaofeng came uninvited in the middle of the night, and he was negligent for a while not to control the juniors in the clan, and he didn't want to burn down the Wu family ancestral hall, which was really Liu's fault, sin, and sin. ”

Where did Liu Chaofeng, who was full of smiles, have the slightest sincerity to apologize, which attracted a burst of shouting and scolding from the Wu family behind Wu Jizong.

However, Liu Chaofeng turned a deaf ear at all, and even the other people around him acted as if they hadn't heard anything.

"As for the burning of the ancestral hall, the Wu family will definitely ask your Liu family for this account. After all, the Liu family also has ancestors. ”

The reason why Wu Jizong said this is because more than 30 years ago, Wujiabao also attacked Liulinbao, and at that time, he also took advantage of the night to sneak in and burn down the ancestral hall of the Liu family. Apparently the people of Liulimburg did not forget about that.

"Presumably, the Liu family is not here just to repay the old grudge thirty years ago, right?"

"Haha, it's Brother Wu who knows Liu best. It's a trivial matter, Liu has long forgotten it. The purpose of today's uninvited come, Brother Wu naturally knows it, does he have to say it in front of everyone?"

After speaking, he slowly glanced at the Wu family members behind Wu Jizong, holding basins in their hands and buckets one by one, with anger on their faces, and scolding and scolding in their mouths, Liu Chaofeng laughed again and said:

"Let's all go back to sleep, even if the fire is extinguished now, there will be only ruins left. Wouldn't it be more convenient to burn it cleaner, and wouldn't it be more troublesome when we went back to renovate? There is no need to worry that the fire will damage the houses next to it, we in Liulinbao have always been cautious in doing things, and we will never harm the innocent. Disperse, disperse. ”

Listening to Liu Chaofeng's tone, it seems that he is the head of the Wu family in Wujiabao.

Although he was angry in his heart, Wu Youren also knew that it was too late to put out the fire now. Fortunately, as Liu Chaofeng said, the location of the ancestral hall is not surrounded by adjacent houses, so there is no need to worry about harming others.

Glancing at Wu Jizong, Wu Youren turned around and whispered to Wu Liwei, Wu Chun, and Wu Lishan.

When the three of them turned around and left with everyone one after another, Liu Chaofeng waved his hand on the side of Liulinbao, and the figure that was originally black and oppressive immediately dispersed, leaving only three people around.

"Okay, now that it's pure, we might as well take advantage of the fire behind us to have a good chat. ”

In this way, how could Wu Jizong and the others not be angry when they heard it? It was an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Wu family, and Liu Chaofeng actually wanted to talk to them here, which was really unbearable. Immediately snorted angrily:

"Liu Chaofeng, don't deceive people too much. ”

"Yo, as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, when it comes to your Wu family's one-third of an acre, how dare Liu. ”

That being said, the tone is another matter entirely.

So much so that Wu Jizong even had to wonder why Liu Chaofeng was so confident this time, what kind of tricks were behind it?

"Since Brother Wu doesn't want to talk here, then let it be ordered, and Liu will obey all orders. ”

Wu Jizong didn't talk nonsense with him, turned around and left with Wu Jixue and Wu Youren.

Liu Chaofeng didn't think about it, and took the three people around him, and followed with his feet.

In a blink of an eye, a group of seven people left Wujiabao and went straight to the ancestral tomb of the Wu family in the back.

After Liu Chaofeng recognized that the ancestral tomb of the Wu family was located in front of him, he couldn't help but show a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
