Chapter 98: Breaking the problem of separation and drinking
There was a lot of discussion below, and the elders among the clan leaders couldn't help but nod along after hearing this. Several people talked in low voices for a long time, and finally the clan leader stood up and raised his hand to suppress the situation.
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
After the silence fell in the ancestral hall, the clan leader spoke.
"What happened today was done by Guangji for the sake of everyone. It was a kind act. You are all brothers of the same clan and the same clan. You should not belittle or ridicule it. However, this news needs to be verified..."
"Clan leader, third uncle!"
"Okay Guangji, calm down and listen to me."
After suppressing Doctor Xu's anxious warning, the patriarch continued towards the crowd unhurriedly.
"But children, as the old saying goes, you must not have the intention to do harm to others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. We will not be thrown into chaos just because of a few strangers' words, but we cannot ignore this matter just because the news is not confirmed. .
In this way, I discussed with a group of clan elders and decided that we should stay the same for the time being and cope with the changes, but we must have a young and strong man from every household. Starting tonight, we will patrol the village day and night. We must not relax. Once If there is any change, gongs are sounded to warn people, and every family prepares their supplies. When they hear the gongs, they immediately take their children into the mountains to take shelter. ”
After the patriarch finished speaking, Doctor Xu felt bitter in his heart.
He sincerely warned him, but his tribe didn't believe him at all. Now that he could get this, it was the best outcome.
Seeing that the clan members were chattering and making a fuss again, Doctor Xu didn't say anything more. He only kept his worries in his mind and told his wife and children to pack up the belongings and pack them up for emergencies.
The clan leader spoke. Although the clan members were reluctant to have such a result and were busy with such nonsense during the New Year, they still honestly selected one male from each family. Even those whose surnames were like Aunt Wu's family were also shown to the clan members. Arrangements were made and the tribe was asked to inform them later.
As for his own family, naturally he was the only one who was suitable, so Doctor Xu stepped forward to sign up. The clan elders took good care of themselves and did not assign them to a team for those who didn't want to see his good things. However, they could not escape the one-day patrol. It was just a village. It was just at the end of the previous village, so Doctor Xu didn't care about it anymore.
After doing these things and arranging and dispatching patrol teams, it was already late. Doctor Xu was still thinking about home and was about to go back. However, he was stopped by the chief and others.
Doctor Xu didn't understand what he meant, so he listened to Li Chang say: "Guangji, we all know that you are a kind person, but kind people are the most bullied in this world. You have not forgotten how you were defiled and harmed in the first place." You can't continue the scientific examination and have to give up your studies and become a doctor, right? My uncles are still saying that, and you must be on guard against others."
"Uncle Qi, what do you mean by this?" Dr. Xu was surprised at first, but then suddenly realized his surprise and displeasure, "Did you and the other uncles really believe those nonsense and still doubt your nephew's guests?"
The village chief coughed uncomfortably, "You kid! They don't have a household registration and a road guide. What if it's true that they committed a crime and fled to us as the tribe said?"
"Uncle Seven!"
"Okay, okay, don't be anxious. Guangji, my uncles don't want you to be in trouble. In this way, let's each take a step back. It's impossible to let everyone live in your home together. Without other considerations, you have to do it for your niece and daughter-in-law. My great-nephew, think about it, what if you misjudge me again? , obedient, if you really feel sorry for yourself and want to keep your female family members and a group of men at your home, then you can say that there is no room for them at home, and you will ask your two brothers to go back with you and take them all to your uncle's home. Anyway, our two families are considered It’s convenient, so this shouldn’t be a problem for you.”
Doctor Xu smiled bitterly, thinking that it was not difficult for him to say anything, a gentleman is magnanimous, how could he be such a gentleman when he went back on his words, and how would he explain to his new friends when he went back?
Doctor Xu felt bitter in his heart, but the director never gave him a chance to speak again.
Afraid that he would make trouble again, he even thought about what he had just discussed with the clan elders. If nothing happened this time, after the snow melted, he would send the troublesome people to the town behind his nephew's back and let the mayor handle the solution. Buried deep in my heart.
Doctor Xu had no idea about these, so he could only go home with two tails under the strong arrangement of the chief.
As soon as he entered the door, he met his wife who had just come out of the front room. Mrs. Xu saw her and hurriedly welcomed her with her children. "Dad."
"Daddy!"
"My husband is back. We were just talking about you and you are back. What a coincidence..."
Mrs. Xu held her husband's hand and spoke, and the two tails following behind her simultaneously called for someone.
"Sister-in-law Ji."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Mrs. Xu agreed, and after she realized what was happening, she looked over to see who was calling her from behind her husband. She was still confused, "Huh? Brother Guangda Guangfa, why are you here?"
The two of them smiled innocently, and only after they agreed to Dr. Xu's call for their children, did they start to explain. Dr. Xu pulled his wife aside to take a step to talk.
Inside the door, the couple lowered their heads and whispered. After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was stunned and a little confused, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Ms. sir, I think that family is very nice. They don't look like bad people. Moreover, they are still fainting and injured. Isn't it better for us to do this? They have all settled down."
How could Dr. Xu not know that this was not good, but what should he do? The clan chiefs and elders all spoke together. The clan rules were overwhelming. He was a scholar, but he was also a junior, so how could he not listen.
I had to smile bitterly again, "That's all, you can take the children back to rest, and I'll do it from the front."
Seeing her husband's inexplicably desolate figure leading his clan brother into the front hall, Mrs. Xu felt worried and stood motionless at the doorway of the backyard for a long time.
I never thought that this guest was a nice person and he didn't embarrass them at all.
Mrs. Xu didn't know it, but as soon as Dr. Xu entered the room and said it, Cheng Su immediately agreed to the matter. He only gave some uneasy instructions to his wife and children, and then he and the unconscious Shen Yue were taken away by Dr. Xu's clan brother. The elder's family settled down at the end of the alley, which aroused Madam Xu's silent attention. It was strange that she felt so grateful to Li Yaoguang's family.
Just like this, the wind and rain passed calmly for seven days. I don't know whether it was Dr. Xu's medical skills or the effectiveness of the medicine he had given in the previous rescue. Shen Yue was getting better day by day, and he was no longer in a coma. He said that he was even able to get down on the kang to practice knives, and even the swelling in his uncle's injured leg had gone away.
The whole family was very happy about this. On the night before New Year's Eve, when everyone was busy and excited about the upcoming New Year, the danger came quietly.
After dinner at night, the patrol team took over, and Dr. Xu was escorted out by his wife to receive the task of inspecting the back village today.
And it was such a coincidence that the person who took the task of patrolling the entrance of the village was the thorny leader who had trouble with Dr. Xu that day.
In the silent snowy night, the north wind howled, and after a patrol, not to mention Hu Bing, not even a ghost of a wild animal was seen. The successive calms made everyone slack off, and the thorn head was not distracted, or He said that he didn't believe the news that Hu Di broke the capital, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
At midnight, the tribesmen dispersed to patrol. The guy rolled his eyes and secretly chose a leeward place to nest. He took out the croissant bag on his waist, raised his head and drank a few sips of soju. He didn't even have a gong on his waist. He was so angry that he threw it into the snow nest next to him, humming a little tune, and his mouth was filled with complaints as he smelled of alcohol.
"It's all the damn scholar's fault! If it hadn't been for his fun, I would still be playing money in the house right now, hugging my mother-in-law and getting into bed. Why would I be tired and cold in this snowy nest? That guy is really Damn it!”
At the same time, Li Yaoguang, who was resting in Xu's house and was placed in a wing in the front yard, sharing a room with his aunt and cousin, was dreaming...
