Looking at the shocked expressions of those people, Xiaolan seemed to understand something.
Wen Ling collapsed to the ground with a thud.
This is indeed the case.
Their eyes were not gouged out by that group of people.
They did it themselves.
"Sure enough..." Luo Jiutian and Qin Yin helped Wenling up together, "Are you okay?"
Wen Ling shook his head, but his face was pale.
Qin Yin glanced at Luo Jiutian quietly and asked with lip language, "Is it what I thought?"
Luo Jiutian nodded heavily.
"S-Oh..." Qin Yin took a breath of air and hugged Wen Ling tighter.
"Is this... so serious?" the person who just asked asked tremblingly.
"As long as there are other ways, it will not end like this," Grandpa Wenling said calmly, without any change in his tone, "It is because of this determination that our Sanyan branch can continue to this day."
Everyone was silent.
Suddenly, a person shouted with a sonorous voice, "We all listen to Mr. Qian!"
These words seemed to wake up the sleeping people, and others expressed their agreement.
"right!……"
"For Sanyan! Accommodate! Give back!..."
"If you believe me, ask Mr.!..."
"..."
"Ask sir! Let me return the favor!" A thin adult woman squeezed up from the back row. Xiaolan recognized her at a glance. She was the dead female Sanyan. "I am seriously ill and I don't have much time to recover.
My mother-in-law has seen my life expectancy and said that I can only live for half a year at most. In this case, why not..."
"Zhizhi! Why didn't you tell me about this?!" A man of similar age ran after her and grabbed her arm with a look of despair on his face, "You clearly said...that your mother-in-law said you were fine!...
...Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law!..."
The mother-in-law stood beside Grandpa Wenling, no longer caring about all the chaos, but turned her head and stared at Grandpa Wenling thoughtfully.
The crowd was noisy for a while and finally calmed down.
They looked at Grandpa Wenling in the center of the crowd, the light shining through his beautiful eyes was firm and brave.
"Ask Mr., if that's the case, then let's directly decide on the candidate to return the favor," Zhizhi said crisply, "My mother-in-law has already seen that everyone's time has come, so she chooses from people like me who are approaching their end. Mr. Ask,
Mother-in-law, although we Sanyan have always lived in hiding for peace, none of us are greedy for life and afraid of death..."
Zhizhi’s words were approved by everyone.
Is it because of his short lifespan that Sanyan is so unafraid of life and death?
Obviously life is short, generally speaking, we should cherish life more.
Xiaolan looked at the pair of eyes burning with flames, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
What she saw was no longer a group of people.
She saw the ants hugging each other tightly, trying to escape the sea of fire.
What she heard was not the powerful shouts of Zhizhi and others.
It is the sound of ants that are willing to sacrifice themselves being burned up in the flames.
Xiaolan was even more shocked than before. Her eyes widened and she looked at every Sanyan person present in disbelief.
In every pair of eyes, there is their ethnic group.
It turns out that this is Sanyan.
Grandpa Wenling looked at this scene and still didn't make any reaction. He stood upright, as if he was distracted.
After that, my mother-in-law spoke.
"Why do you want Wen Ling to leave Weiruo Village?"
The person speaking these words was Grandpa Wenling.
After hearing the voice of the mother-in-law, everyone fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Grandpa Wen Ling.
Grandpa Wenling slightly raised the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
"Why did you let Wen Ling go?" the mother-in-law asked in an increasingly harsh tone, "What are you going to do?!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Grandpa Wenling chuckled, and the power in his voice suddenly diminished.
"In the village, there are only you and me, the two elders..."
After hearing this, everyone felt intense fear in their eyes.
"Don't forget the rule of returning an eye..." Grandpa Wenling sighed, "Two juniors, two juniors, two seniors, this is the rule..."
"No!"
"Ask sir! No!..."
"Ask sir!..."
The crowd started shouting again.
"There's nothing wrong with it," Grandpa Wenling smiled sadly, "I have Wenling passing it on for me. This life is enough..."
"You still have more than thirty years to live," the mother-in-law's eyes almost popped out of her head. "Wenling herself doesn't have such a long lifespan. I told you that Wenling's lifespan is long enough for her at most."
Stay up until twenty-five..."
The knife hit Wenling squarely. Xiaolan looked at Wenling in surprise. The surprise on Wenling's face was no less than theirs.
The paleness on the faces of the Sanyan people spread to their faces. They originally just wanted to know the truth, but they didn't expect that the truth would be accompanied by such a cruel fact.
The lifespan of the asking spirit is only twenty-five.
Grandpa Wenling smiled and shook his head, looking up at the stars in the night sky, "Wenling is different, she can find capable people..."
"A capable person..." the mother-in-law sneered, "Her parents both died on the way to find a capable person, but she can find one?"
Wait, those who can.
Xiaolan's ears perked up.
When I first met Wen Ling, Wen Ling once said, what is he... almighty, do the powerful and almighty mean the same thing?
She did say at the time that she had been looking for herself.
Could it be that I am the capable person that Qiling is looking for?
Xiao Lan blinked her eyes and turned her head to look at Wen Ling.
She really found him.
However, according to Grandpa Wenling, can I extend Wenling’s lifespan?
This...sounds very difficult.
Grandpa Wenling did not refute or agree, he just lowered his head and smiled. The scene began to fade. Grandpa Wenling took the last close-up of him and murmured in a low voice.
"You will find it if you ask the spirit..."
When the next scene appears, the first thing that catches the eye is the fallen autumn maple leaves all over the mountains and plains.
The time suddenly jumped to late autumn. In the end, it might be just a few days ago.
In the distance, there was a weak cough.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Everyone followed the sound and looked around, seeing a somewhat familiar hut.
This is the place they just visited, the home of the dead girl!
The sound of coughing came from the house. After a while, a petite and thin girl opened the door and walked out shakily wearing white clothes.
At this time, she was completely different from her in the world. Her complexion was yellow and her eyes were green. Even people who didn't know any medical skills could tell that she didn't have many days left to live.
The girl coughed, wrapped her clothes tightly and walked towards them. As she walked, she suddenly raised her head and smiled at them.
