Chapter 1243 (2/2)
”But clan chief, the villagers on patrol did not find any trace of them.”
Zhang San was helpless and continued: ”clan leader, do you want our patrol team to withdraw first? After all, the night has been deep, and the big guy has been busy working all afternoon. It's time for them to have a rest.”
Zhang San's words are reasonable.
But for Zhang San's request, Zhang Laixi gave a soft hiss, and then said, ”no, we can't let them back now. Let them keep their eyes on the entrance and exit of Taiping mountain. They must find the two foreigners. The high priest has said that if they break into the forbidden area of our village, they may disturb the peace of our ancestors. These two people must not be let go
After a pause, Zhang Laixi continued: ”besides, tomorrow night will be the Centennial ceremony of our village of dead people. This is the most important thing in the whole village, and no mistakes can be made.”
Then Zhang Laixi gazed at Zhang San: ”Zhang San, you have to work hard again to inform those young people that they must work harder today. Even if they take turns to hold the night, they must guard the exit of Taiping mountain.”
Seeing that Zhang Laixi's words were so resolute, Zhang San was confused and said, ”patriarch, is this necessary? I think the two foreigners are only here for an outing. Besides, what a storm they can make
Hearing this, Zhang Laixi's face suddenly became gloomy and said, ”Zhang San, you should know how important it is to celebrate the Centennial ceremony of our village of dead people. This is related to whether our village will be able to have good weather and prosperity in the next 100 years. Do you remember how serious the consequences were 300 years ago, when the hundred year festival was destroyed by foreigners? ”
Seeing Zhang Laixi's face heavy, Zhang San can't help but panic.Three hundred years ago, Zhang San, a mortal, naturally did not know about it. However, the village of dead people was such a big village. It was passed down from generation to generation that Zhang San remembered the sudden and terrible plague in his mind.
It was because of the obstruction of the hundred year festival that the village of dead people 300 years ago ushered in a terrible plague. After the plague, almost none of the villagers in the village survived. Now the villagers in these villages are all the descendants of the survivors, so there is still some blood relationship between them.
There was a long cry under the fright, and Zhang San nodded helplessly: ”yes, patriarch, I'll go to the foot of Taiping mountain to inform you!”
Say Zhang San is drag tired footstep again toward the direction of Taipingshan in the past.
Zhang Laixi, on the other hand, is looking at those bright candles in the distance, and his heart is filled with emotion.
”Well, tomorrow is the Centennial memorial ceremony. In the past thousand years, few clan leaders hope that there will be problems in the Centennial memorial ceremony. Now that the responsibility of the whole village has been handed over to me, I can't let the memorial ceremony miss a little bit! ”
Zhang Laixi turned around and went back to the village.
In fact, the whole village of dead people is not large, and there are only dozens of families. And this remote village is not well-developed, at least not even electric light.
Stepping in the dark, Zhang Laixi is going forward all the way. He is very familiar with this road. After all, he has walked this road for decades.
All the way forward, Zhang Laixi's steps did not linger at all, but went straight to his home.
Standing at the door of his courtyard, Zhang Laixi's face began to be lonely. He hesitated several times, but he did not dare to enter the door.
At the moment, Zhang Laixi's eyes are constantly flashing with tears. He has no choice but to give up, and there are some inexplicable emotions. He hears him constantly murmuring at the moment: ”Ernie, Ernie, it's dad who is sorry for you, dad for you!”
