The villagers fled back in panic and were in a state of disarray.
Many people were frightened by the tragedy, their eyes were dull, and they fell in the snow.
The wounded screamed one after another, and some were crying for their dead relatives.
When the women who stayed at home saw this scene, they were all frightened.
They originally thought they would be able to welcome the returning heroes, as well as a large amount of supplies as trophies.
But I didn't expect that there was such a strong team when we went there, and how embarrassed we were when we came back.
And the number of people has been reduced by nearly half!
"Where is my son? Where is my son?"
"Ash, Ash!"
"Wait a minute, where is my husband? Has anything happened to him?"
…
The women were looking for their fathers, husbands and sons in panic.
Both the survivors and the survivors were devastated.
Xu Chunlei stood in the ice and snow square, looking at the miserable situation of the villagers and feeling particularly uneasy.
"Obviously I have warned you."
Xu Chunlei sighed and hurried back to his home.
He didn't want to face these grieving villagers.
But not long after, someone broke into his home.
"Xu Chunlei! Why are you hiding here?"
His cousin Xu Yongzhi grabbed his arm and said anxiously: "Come with me quickly, Third Grandpa is dying! He wants to see you!"
When he heard that his third grandfather, Xu Dongsheng, was about to die, Xu Chunlei was also frightened and hurriedly ran to Xu Dongsheng's home.
By the time he arrived panting and dragging his fat body, Xu Dongsheng's door was already crowded with people.
When people saw Xu Chunlei, their eyes were full of complexity.
This look in his eyes made Xu Chunlei feel chills on his back.
Because from the eyes of these villagers, Xu Chunlei did not see any expressions of gratitude, but only complaints and even disgust!
"Pooh!"
An uncle of the same clan spat on the ground.
A woman wiped her tears and gritted her teeth and said, "Chun Lei! I heard that you were the only one in our family who didn't go with us this time. Why didn't you go?"
"You are the only one in our Xu family who is lucky and has extraordinary abilities. When something happens, you don't want to be the first to take the lead. Instead, you act like a coward at home."
"Do you know how many people in our Xu family died because of you?"
Xu Chunlei broke into cold sweat. This aunt had always been strong, and he was also very scared.
"Again...it's not me who asked them to go. I persuaded them!"
Xu Chunlei said softly.
Others didn't hear it at all, or they didn't care if they heard it.
So many people in the family died, and almost every family had a man killed in battle, so naturally there was a lot of resentment.
A group of people were all talking, pointing fingers at Xu Chunlei and accusing him.
"If you had been here at that time, you could have used your ability to manipulate ice and snow to do whatever you wanted without causing everyone to be killed by the bomb!"
"What on earth are you thinking about in your head?"
…
Xu Chunlei felt angry in his heart, and he wanted to shout loudly: "I didn't ask you to go! It's none of my business!"
But I am used to being a homebody on weekdays, and no matter how beautiful I think in my heart, I can't really be arrogant in front of the family elders.
At this time, a gentle old man wearing glasses and with his hair parted came out.
"okay!"
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, the other tribesmen restrained their words, but they still stared at Xu's cleft lip fiercely.
The old man glanced at Xu Chunlei and said meaningfully: "Go in, the third brother is calling you!"
This is Xu Dongtang, the sixth eldest son of the Xu family, the younger brother of Xu Dongsheng, who is also considered a successful and prestigious figure in the Xu family.
Xu Chunlei lowered his head and walked past the crowd to the house.
The house was built of ice and snow.
After the heavy snow came, all the houses around him were buried in the snow. He used his own skills to help every family build a house.
Ice and snow have very good windproof and thermal insulation functions, so it actually feels pretty good to live there.
The only drawback is that fire pots or candles in the house will melt over time and need to be repaired from time to time.
On the bed in the igloo, Xu Dongsheng was lying dying.
He was already very old.
After this fright, he lost his mind and was suddenly frightened, causing problems.
Seeing Xu Chunlei coming over, Xu Dongsheng had a guilty look on his face.
"Chunlei, you are here!"
Xu Chunlei quickly walked to the bed and said, "Grandpa Third!"
Xu Dongsheng said weakly: "It's all my fault for not listening to you! Otherwise, our Xu family wouldn't have died so many."
Xu Chunlei's nose felt sour.
Being accused like that by the villagers, he didn't know how wronged he felt.
Fortunately, the village chief understood him.
Xu Dongsheng continued: "Hey! I am also confused. I thought that since the snow disaster, we have not lost in battles with several surrounding villages, so no one is our opponent."
"But now I understand that the reason why our village is great is because of you."
"They are just a group of villagers farming and fishing. What are they pretending to be like? In the end, they risked their own lives!"
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Xu Dongsheng repented at this time, but unfortunately it was too late.
He looked at the honest little fat man beside the bed, held his hand and said, "I have already told those people in the family. If you want to complain, just blame me, the old man. I can't blame you for this matter."
"How can ordinary people like us defeat those strangers with great abilities?"
"They all have family members dead now, and they may say some unpleasant things to you. I hope you don't blame them! After all, we are all from the same clan, and we have to help each other to survive at times like this."
When Xu Chunlei heard this, he was also a little moved.
He nodded and said: "Third Grandpa, I know. I won't take it to heart!"
Xu Chunlei smiled bitterly, "I'm about to die. Before I left, I just couldn't worry about the Xu family, for fear that our family's bloodline would be cut off."
"So Chunlei, Third Grandpa wants to ask you something before he leaves. I hope you can protect the Xu family!"
Xu Chunlei looked surprised and quickly squeezed Xu Dongsheng's hand: "Grandpa Third, what did you say? You are in good health!"
The smile on the corner of Xu Dongsheng's mouth was a bit far-fetched.
When people reach a certain age, they know their bodies very well.
They can even predict their own death.
"Chunlei, grandpa is gone. From now on, the Xu family will be entrusted to you."
After Xu Dongsheng said this, he waved to Xu Chunlei.
"Okay, you go out, I'm tired and want to take a rest."
After saying that, Xu Dongsheng slowly closed his eyes.
Xu Chunlei felt something was wrong and called out "Grandpa Third" several times.
"Don't shout, don't shout..."
"I'm tired, let me sleep for a while."
Xu Dongsheng left these words as if mumbling, then tilted his head and passed away suddenly.
Xu Chunlei quickly called the people outside the house.
Everyone in the Xu family rushed in and saw Xu Dongsheng with his eyes closed. Everyone immediately burst into tears.
After Xu Chunlei realized that no one cared about him, he walked out dejectedly.
