Compared with other thatched houses in Linyuan Village, this big house is much more impressive. It is built with blue bricks fired in a kiln on all sides. It is very spacious inside and has plenty of light.
There was a middle-aged man in gray clothes, his lips were tightly closed, and his brows had a very worried expression. This expression would not appear on someone who has not been thinking hard for a long time.
Yuan Lingtong saw the middle-aged man and smiled: "Dad, I'm back."
The middle-aged man named Yuan Changdong is the father of Yuan Lingtong and the head of Linyuan Village. With a ninth-level martial arts level, he is the number one combat force in Linyuan Village and has considerable strength.
Yuan Changdong showed a hint of joy when he saw his daughter coming back, but when he saw Li Hanxue, his face instantly darkened: "Tongtong, tell me, who is this kid?"
Yuan Changdong pointed at Li Hanxue with a look of displeasure on his face.
Yuan Lingtong smiled and said: "Dad, his identity is extraordinary."
"No matter if he is ordinary or unusual, dad will not allow you to hook up with outsiders. As my daughter, Yuan Changdong, you can only marry a good man from our Linyuan Village. If you hang out with outside men now, when the time comes
Who dares to ask for you? Where do you want dad's face to go?" Yuan Changdong's tone was unquestionable.
"Dad, where did you think you were going?" Yuan Lingtong said angrily, "He is the outsider I brought back."
"Outsiders?" Yuan Changdong was taken aback, and all the anger on his face turned into shock. He looked Li Hanxue up and down, and said in surprise, "Tongtong, outsiders are generally very powerful, how did you subdue them?"
his?"
Yuan Lingtong showed a bright smile and showed the dragon-suppressing handcuffs hidden under her sleeves. At the same time, she also brought out Li Hanxue's wrists, making a clanging noise in the air.
When Yuan Changdong saw this, his expression suddenly changed: "Tongtong, it's good for you to arrest the person, but why did you handcuff yourself to him?"
"The situation was so urgent that I didn't have time to think too much, so I handcuffed him and myself together for no apparent reason," Yuan Lingtong said.
"Hey." Yuan Changdong sighed, and then shouted, "Here comes someone!"
Following Yuan Changdong's loud shout, a tall young man walked in from outside. The two young men were quite heroic and a little taller than two meters. They stood in front of Li Hanxue and Yuan Lingtong, looking condescending.
Feel.
The two young men glanced at Yuan Changdong and looked respectfully: "Village Chief, what do you want me to do?"
Yuan Changdong said: "I'm asking you to do two things. The first thing is to go to Elder Yuan Weiming and Elder Changsun to invite them over and tell them that the village chief has something important to discuss with them.
"These two old men are both very experienced people in Linyuan Village, and their words are very important. Yuan Changdong often asks these two people when he is in doubt.
Yuan Changdong glanced at Li Hanxue and said: "The second thing is to take good care of this kid. He is an outsider. Take him to the water prison and keep him under strict guard."
"But what should Miss Lingtong do? Should she be handcuffed with this boy and escorted to the water prison together?" one of the young men asked.
"I have no choice but to aggrieve Tongtong first. In the water prison, you must ensure Tongtong's safety. If there is even the slightest mistake, I will not be lenient." Yuan Changdong said sternly, "As for how to distribute the personnel for these two things,
It's up to you."
When the two heard this, they began to discuss in whispers. If Yuan Changdong hadn't been here, they would have had a serious quarrel. After all, Yuan Lingtong was the most beautiful girl in the village, and who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to get close to each other.
The two murmured for a while, and seeing that Yuan Changdong's face seemed unkind, one of the young men seemed to compromise and went to invite the elders and Changsun.
Not long after, one of the young men invited the two old men over.
Yuan Weiming has pale hair and a lean figure. His muscles have atrophied due to old age and his back is bent, making him a lot shorter. But even so, he is only 1.7 meters tall, only half a head shorter than Li Hanxue. The other is the eldest grandson.
Old man, this man has long gray hair shawl, a weathered face, sunken eyes, and a weather-beaten look.
"Old Elder, Elder Changsun, please come in quickly." Yuan Changdong greeted him with a smile, then waved his hand and asked another young man to take Li Hanxue and Yuan Lingtong out.
…
"Village chief, you said that boy just now was an outsider? Are you sure?" Yuan Weiming looked shocked, because he hadn't seen an outsider for a long time. Every time an outsider breaks in, it will definitely bring misfortune and disaster.
Old man Changsun said in a serious tone: "Then things are going to be troublesome, outsiders... last time they massacred all the people in Linyuan Village. It still makes people feel scared when they think about it."
"That's why I asked you two to come here to discuss this matter. The strength of outsiders is terrifying. My little girl found this person and used the dragon-suppressing handcuffs given by the palace master to restrain him, so that he did not show his fierce power. If he was
He broke free. Regardless of his young age, I think he must be one of those extremely vicious people who kills innocent people indiscriminately." Yuan Changdong said.
Yuan Weiming said: "Then what should we do? If this young man stays in our Linyuan Village, he will definitely be a disaster."
Yuan Changdong said: "It is better to follow the example of our ancestors and kill him, so that everything will be over."
Yuan Changdong looked out the window at Li Hanxue standing with Yuan Lingtong, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"No, this matter must not be decided so hastily." After careful consideration, the old man Changsun said: "If he has a companion to follow him into our Linyuan Village, it will be troublesome. If we kill him, then
His companions will definitely come out in force and kill all of us in Linyuan Village. Wouldn't this make the same mistakes made decades ago again?"
Yuan Changdong's face turned gloomy: "Then what should we do?"
"Detain him for a few days first. If he has no companions to rescue him, then we will kill him." Yuan Weiming said.
Elder Changsun said: "This young man actually did not commit a serious crime. If we kill him like this, he will definitely feel wronged. In the future, his soul after death will not go to hell and will stay in our Linyuan Village to kill him.
I'm afraid that person will not end well. We cannot kill people in our own village just to kill an outsider."
People in Linyuan Village believe that there is hell, reincarnation and good and evil karma in this world, so there is a theory of wronged souls.
Yuan Weiming said: "How about this? Aren't there a few ferocious beasts imprisoned in our village? Throw this boy in. If he is killed by the ferocious beast, it will have nothing to do with us. The karmic retribution will not come.
On us."
Yuan Changdong frowned and said: "But what should I do with Tongtong? Tongtong is handcuffed with that boy. If that boy is thrown into a vicious beast, Tongtong may not live long. "
Yuan Weiming laughed and said: "Village Chief, aren't you still worried about your daughter? These dragon-suppressing handcuffs only suppress masters above the Xuanwu realm. Tongtong is not a Xuanwu practitioner, and her body is not affected by the dragon-suppressing handcuffs at all.
.She is now a master at the seventh level of the Ruowu Realm. How many people can do anything to her? Even those ferocious beasts can hardly pose a threat to her, and they will only suffer some flesh wounds at most."
After Changsun was silent for a moment, he felt that this was a good move.
Yuan Changdong pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Since both of you have the same opinion, I have no choice but to listen to your opinions and let this kid fend for himself. Life or death depends on his fate. At this time tomorrow, the villagers will be called to make an announcement.
