Compared with the joyful schadenfreude in other places, Qiligou is filled with gloom and mist.
The decisive battle is approaching, but there is still no sign of Lin Gen's return. The so-called big show is about to begin, and your protagonist is nowhere to be seen. How can the rest of the people continue to sing?
In this world of ethnic groups that worship martial arts, ordinary people can survive and endure humiliation to save their lives. But as a leader, a future patriarch, he represents the entire ethnic group. He must not be cowardly, weak and cowardly. In everyone's consciousness
, as the clan leader, he can only stand and die vigorously, but cannot kneel down and live quietly. Lin Gen is their future clan leader, the impression representative of Qiligou, or the flag of Qiligou.
They are not afraid of losing, because it is just a difference in strength. But they cannot break their promises and shrink from the battle, because this has nothing to do with strength, but represents the person's personality.
If Lin Gen, the future patriarch, shrinks and runs away as rumored, Qiligou will completely lose his dignity in front of outsiders and find it difficult to hold his head high.
The sunset reflected the red sky, and Qiligou was in a huge atmosphere of silence and solemnity.
Inside the clan temple, the clan leader Huo Tianzhao and several clan elders, including Lin Gen's father, were also there.
For two months, a total of sixty days, Lin Gen was like a stone, and there was no sound. They were all under tremendous pressure. The decisive battle was tomorrow, and the entire Qingniu Town was sworn to speculate that Lin Gen might leave Qiligou and his family and escape alone.
escape.
They were unwavering because they believed in their own vision - Lin Gen was not a weak person.
But why is there no trace of Lin Gen? Will his hard work really make any progress?
A clan elder walked in and said: "The latest news from all the hunters within sixty miles from the edge of Manghu Mountain is that Lin Gen is still nowhere to be found."
Everyone's eyes, which were full of expectation and shining, suddenly dimmed, all of which were in response to their previous frustration.
"Do you think Lin Gen will encounter some unpredictable dangers in Manghu Mountain? Otherwise, with his responsibility, there will never be any news?"
The patriarch Huo Tianzhao looked confused. After a moment, he nodded and said: "Maybe it's as you said. There are constant rumors outside, but my understanding of Lin Gen, I believe that he is definitely not a weakling who betrays his promise."
Lin Yao, who was standing by, saw that the patriarch had such trust in his son, and was immediately grateful: "Thank you very much, patriarch, for your trust in Gen'er. I have raised him for eighteen years and I absolutely understand his character. He failed to be confirmed five times in the past and suffered a lot of discrimination.
But he fought repeatedly and never flinched. Even when he was almost killed by lightning during the fifth verification, he still went forward without fear and continued to attack for the sixth time. I believe he will not disgrace my Lin family and lose Qili.
Gou’s face!”
"If he is really greedy for life and afraid of death, and dares to abandon the life and dignity of the whole village and live an ignoble existence, he will betray the trust of the clan leader and all the villagers. I, Lin Yao, will be the first to expel him from the Lin family! And commit suicide in front of the clan leaders.
"Lin Yaoyuan showed a determined expression.
Huo Tianzhao waved his hand and said, "I chose Lin Gen. You don't need to take on this responsibility."
"I also think Lin Gen is not such a person. But I just reported that Lin Gen has not been found for sixty miles in Manghu Mountain, and there will be a decisive battle tomorrow. Even if he comes back overnight, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it in time?"
"Well, I hope he can arrive at the last moment, but various signs indicate that the chance of Lin Gen being able to show up on time is getting slimmer and slimmer." Everyone understood in their hearts.
Patriarch Huo Tianzhao waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please go back first. The only way now is to wait. Don't rest tonight. If Lin Gen comes back, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible."
Tomorrow's battle will affect the rise and fall of Qiligou.
Their original intention tonight was to discuss the details of tomorrow in detail, but they didn't know that until now, the protagonist was nowhere to be seen, and they were still talking nonsense!
Lin Yao returned home with a lot of worries. Regarding Lin Gen's delay in returning, he was the one who was under the most pressure.
As Lin Gen's father, he has great expectations for his son, and this matter is all caused by the Lin family. If this matter is not resolved, or if Lin Gen really fails to live up to his expectations, and if there are rumors that he has fled far away, then the Lin family will become a Qili family.
The eternal sinner of the ditch.
When things have developed to this point, the clan leader and several elders still trust Lin Gen so much. Although he is grateful, he only feels that the pressure is heavier.
"Lin Gen, Lin Gen, you have to live up to your expectations and don't lose the Lin family's face."
"Grandpa is back." When Xiao Ying'er saw Lin Yao from the house, she opened her little hands like a bird with open wings and flew towards the door.
Lin Yao suppressed his worries in his heart, picked her up and put on a smile: "Xiao Ying'er is so good, why are you still here at night? Where is your mother?"
Xiao Ying'er said in a childish voice: "My friends all said that my uncle will be back today, so I asked my mother to bring me here. I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and Ying'er misses him so much. Grandpa, it's getting dark, when will my uncle come back?"
Back home?”
Lin Qingrong walked out and couldn't hide her disappointment when she saw her father's empty back.
Public opinion now says that Lin Gen traveled far away in the name of self-cultivation. When talking about her brother, the previous praise for his genius has now turned into intentional or unintentional contempt, and his treatment has changed drastically. From her personal perspective,
She hoped that Lin Gen could save his life, but at the same time, she also knew that as the successor of the clan leader, it would be unjustifiable for Lin Gen to avoid fighting and go back on his word.
Lin Yao forced a smile and coaxed: "Don't worry, my uncle will be back soon. Then let him help you bake sweet potatoes."
Xiao Ying'er is so innocent and innocent, she can't help but be happy when she hears it.
"My uncle's roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious. In addition to the sweet potatoes, I also want my uncle to make me a big kite. A very big kite, flying high in the sky..."
"Okay... okay... let him make a big kite for you, this little troublemaker." Lin Yao smiled and nodded, with his children and grandchildren around his knees, and the joy of heaven made him forget a little about the troubles he just had.
Xiao Ying'er stretched out her two small hands and made a big hand gesture: "The big kite is flying in the sky, high... Look, it looks like that big bird..."
Xiao Ying'er pointed to a black figure in the sky behind her and made metaphors with joy.
"How can a kite compare with a big bird..." Lin Qingrong smiled and wanted to take her from her father's arms. Following her fingers, she saw the shadow getting closer and closer in the sky, and her expression suddenly froze.
Xiao Ying'er saw the figure clearly and said in a childish voice: "Grandpa, that one in the sky doesn't seem to be a big bird, it seems to be a person..."
Lin Yao was attracted by his daughter's expression. When he heard what Ying'er said, he looked back and was stunned.
"Grandpa, grandpa, that big crow seems to be my uncle. My uncle is flying back, my uncle is flying back!..." She clapped her little hands and cheered.
But Lin Yao and Lin Qingrong's minds went blank...Lin Gen...Lin Gen, Lingkong Yuwu? A third-level powerhouse???
Under the light, with the mist lingering, Lin Gen sat in the "Mantis" donated by Duobaofang, soaking his body in the boiling hot water, scrubbing his body inch by inch from the dust of the world.
I have been in Manghu Mountain for nearly two months, and I can bathe in those big rivers, but the cold and greasy river water is not as refreshing as the hot water boiled by my mother! Moreover, this 'Mantis' is a first-class treasure, not only can it
It keeps hot water at a constant temperature and has a great effect on the warrior's energy.
The steam was rising and the warmth was sultry. I don't know whether it was because the energy in his body was soothed by the treasure, which made him feel extra comfortable. Or was it because the warmth of returning home made him feel supported after wandering for many days? Lin Gen was in the bathtub unknowingly.
sleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he was awakened by a soft knock on the door.
He patted his head and concentrated on soaking in the hot bath, leaving his family members outside to dry up. They were still waiting to report the situation.
