The group of black-armored soldiers escorted a dark-skinned man. The leader's sharp and blood-stained sword was placed on the man's neck. The sword moved only slightly, and a strand of hair fell to the ground.

The leader said: "This place has been surrounded, call your patriarch out! Everyone come out! I need to count the number of people! Otherwise, watch out for his head..."

Aunt Shiba's hair was already graying, and she cried out, "Yan'er!"

It's a mess outside

A villager rushed into the patriarch's house, where Rong Qi was arguing with Rong Yunhe, insisting on calling him senior brother.

The patriarch and his wife sat in the hall drinking tea and watching, smiling and having a good time.

Seeing the pale faces of the villagers, Rong Yunhe was keenly aware of something, and tugged on Rong Qi, who stopped and looked at the door.

The patriarch said: "What is so panic?"

The villager pointed to the door and said, "Patriarch, officials...officials...officials and soldiers! Ask to count the number of people in the clan..."

The faces of the patriarch and his wife changed drastically in an instant, as did Rong Yunhe. The door on the stone wall outside the mountain was designed by the patriarch himself, and non-members of the clan cannot open it.

And such a hidden place, which has not been discovered for so many years, is suddenly discovered?

The patriarch was about to go out immediately, and said as he walked: "Madam, you stay at home and take care of the child."

The patriarch's wife grabbed his hand: "Husband..."

The patriarch turned his head, and even though there were uneven wrinkles between his brows, he still smiled at his wife: "Don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go."

The patriarch's wife refused to let go, but instead held on tighter, she shook her head and said, "This time, let me accompany you, okay?"

The undisguised affection and determination in her eyes blocked his already squeezed rejection in his throat

The affection was so hot that his whole body ached.

The patriarch held his wife's hand tightly: "Okay."

The patriarch's wife turned her head, looked at the bewildered Rong Qi, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Qi'er, wait here for your parents to come back."

Rong Qi subconsciously said: "Father, where are you going? I want to go too!"

The patriarch and his wife looked at Rong Yunhe: "Yunhe, we handed him over to you, no matter what happens, he must not come out."

Rong Yunhe looked solemn: "Master, master..."

The patriarch said kindly: "Yunhe is obedient, and the teacher will give you everything that should be taught. As long as you practice hard and understand a lot, you will definitely surpass the master."

Rong Yunhe nodded heavily and said: "Okay, please ask Master and Mistress to help me take care of Grandpa."

The patriarch and his wife nodded in relief, and quickly drove out with the villager who came to report

Not long after, a huge group of people stood, including adults, children, and the elderly.

The patriarch stepped forward in a hurry, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "My lord, keep people under the sword."

The leader frowned when he saw his unusual eye color and hair color, and then said, "You are their patriarch?"

Because in the eyes of most people, different pupils are an ominous symbol.

The patriarch arched his hands and said, "Exactly."

"Everyone is here? Are you sure there is no missing one?" The man glanced at the villagers one by one.

Fortunately, no one showed any flaws.

The leading man looked at it for a while, but he didn't pursue it any further. He withdrew his sword and kicked Rong Yan back into the crowd.

The patriarch caught him: "Are you all right?"

Rong Yan's face froze, he looked away and said, "I'm fine."

The headed guard in the black armor took out a letter and unfolded it in front of everyone. Below the letter was a blood-red private seal, which was the seal of the emperor.

He waved again, and the black-armored guards behind him brought up several large boxes.

The leading man stretched out his hand towards the patriarch and said, "Open it and have a look, patriarch."

The patriarch knew that disaster was imminent the moment he saw the emperor's seal, and just as he was about to move, his hands were grabbed by a pair of catkins.

The patriarch's wife looked indifferent, stepped forward and said: "I'll do it."

The leader's eyes couldn't help but look at the woman who spoke, and there was a look of amazement in his eyes. Such a beauty is rare in the world.

But he still asked, "This is?"

The patriarch said: "It's the clumsy thorn."

The leading man raised his eyebrows: "Then, please."

The patriarch's wife broke away her husband who was holding her hand firmly, and stepped forward to open them one by one. The white silver ingots almost blinded people's eyes in the sun.

The leading man said: "Everyone, don't be nervous. I am an official of the court. Today I just came to convey the meaning of our Majesty."

The patriarch endured the humiliation and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty needs my help."

Hei Jia took the lead and said: "Your Majesty was very happy to hear that you have developed the elixir of life, and he asked us to bring you a reward. In addition, our majesty wants to buy your elixir of life with a lot of money. Your majesty said that the patriarch is We are heroes of Southern Chu, how can we nest in this broken mountain, as long as you are willing to serve our Majesty, the mansion in Beijing will be rich and prosperous, and the price is up to the patriarch."

If it was just a guess before, when the guess was confirmed, everyone would feel dark in front of their eyes.

Elder Rong stood in the crowd leaning on a cane, his eyes were exceptionally clear

He had already guessed that such a day would come.

I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

So caught off guard, people have absolutely no time to react.

The scene was silent, and the crowing of crows came from somewhere, which was really not a good omen.

The patriarch said: "My lord, can you let us think about it for a few days? This elixir is the treasure of our witch doctor clan. According to the clan regulations, the clan needs to burn incense and pray to inform the ancestors of such important events. It is us ordinary people who can work for your majesty." It’s just that the family rules cannot be broken, so please allow me the convenience of my lord.”

The leading man impatiently scanned the surrounding people and cursed: "Superstition!"

The patriarch is still talking and smiling, which shows that his attitude is unrelenting.

The leading man could only say: "Then I will give you three days. After three days, I will come to get the medicine again. This kid can lend us a bargaining chip!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Rong Yan

The patriarch was a little embarrassed: "This..."

The leading man looked at him and said indifferently: "Master Patriarch, don't push yourself too far."

Rong Yan came out uncharacteristically: "I am willing to be this hostage."

"Yan'er!"

Aunt Shiba was crying so hard that she was about to die, if Rong Zhi hadn't been dragging her by her side, she would have rushed out.

Rong Yan looked at his mother and sister, and said coldly: "My son is gone, mother, sister."

The black armored soldier left.

All the villagers were timid and fell to the ground.

"This is how to do ah"

The patriarch raised his eyes to the scorching sun in the sky, his green pupils were as transparent as glass beads, but what he said made everyone's blood run cold

"The soldiers didn't withdraw, they were all around, please don't act rashly."

But no one could figure out why it had been exposed all of a sudden after being safe and sound for so many years.

In the end, I can only guess, probably those people who went out to gather medicine today were frightened for a while, and they slipped their mouths.

But it seems that those people can't come back, there is no proof of death.

When they returned to the house, Rong Yunhe and Rong Qi were fidgeting, and a hole was poked in the window paper.

The patriarch sat down feebly and said, "Have you seen it all?"

Rong Yunhe nodded

The patriarch's wife hugged Rong Qi tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that she would never be able to hug her again.

Rong Qi's face was almost flattened, and he said vaguely: "Mother, what's wrong with mother? If they want the elixir of life, just give them the elixir. Anyway, they gave so much money"

The patriarch and his wife sighed: "How can this kind of magical medicine enter the world? Once it enters the world, the world will be in chaos, and you who made this medicine will be the biggest sinner in the world."

Rong Qi is still young, so he really doesn't understand these things very well, so he said: "Then what should we do? Then don't sell it!"

The couple said with two hearts, if only it could be as simple as saying no to sell.

Rong Yunhe was silent for a while and said: "Master and mother, I'm going home first, I'm going to see grandpa."

Knowing that he realized it, the patriarch waved his hand: "Good boy, go."

Rong Yunhe rushed out the door without saying a word, because he ran too fast, he gasped, "Grandpa!"

Rong Lao still likes to sit by the bed and fiddle with medicinal materials, he is so old that he can hardly see his eyes.

He beckoned: "Yunhe, you're back."

Rong Yunhe stepped forward and held his old hand: "Grandpa, is this the disaster you told me before? You guessed it a long time ago?"

Rong Lao showed a toothless smile, and said: "It's a blessing or a disaster, it's a calamity that can't be avoided, Yunhe, have you heard the crows crowing on the mountain?"

Rong Yunhe didn't answer, but turned around and walked towards the stove: "Okay, let's eat."

Crows?The crows all over the mountain are crowing, and it is hard to hear

Besides, you can hear it behind your ears, can I not hear you?

During these three days, there was no burning incense and praying at all.

On the second day, the patriarch invited the whole village to his home for dinner, and everyone knew what this meant.

Only Rong Qi was absent from the audience and fell into a coma on the bed.

That night, the patriarch and his wife bowed three deep bows to all the villagers

"The elixir of immortality is the treasure of our clan. My master has taught me not to let such god-defying medicines flow into the world. My clan has been hiding from the world for many years, but I never thought that I would not be able to escape the destiny. It is our husband and wife who are sorry for everyone. The next life is destined for you Be a cow or a horse."

Aunt Shiba wiped her tears and said: "Patriarch, what are you talking about? Why are you sorry for us? You saved all of our lives back then, and we also voluntarily came to this place with you to escape the world. After so many years, you Treat us like family."

Another person said: "Aunt Shiba is right, Patriarch, without you we would not be where we are today."

"Once the elixir of life is involved in the world, it will definitely cause a bloodbath."

"You must not hand over the elixir of life. The young master is the only person in our clan who can practice the elixir of life. He cannot die, and the inheritance of the witch doctor clan cannot be broken in our hands! We must work together to send him out! "

"That's right! The witch doctor's bloodline cannot be broken!"

This sentence was echoed miraculously for a while.

But only the patriarch and his wife know what kind of bloodline cannot be broken. These simple people are just afraid that they will not accept it, so they try their best to leave the only bloodline for their couple.

The patriarch's wife covered her lips, and tears welled up in an instant: "But...the other children are also innocent."

Rong Zhi has grown into a lovely girl now, she was the first to stand up and said: "Ma'am, I am not afraid of death."

The other children also said in unison: "We are not afraid either!"

Elder Rong stretched out his hand tremblingly, grabbed Rong Yunhe who was sitting beside him, and said: "Yunhe, you will take the young master away tonight. He has always only been close to you. You have to find a way to stop him. Don't set foot in this place again."

Rong Yunhe looked painful and shook his head: "Grandpa..."

Elder Rong patted his head: "Be obedient."

Rong Zhi came over and smiled at him: "Brother Yunhe, you have to live well for Zhi'er."

In the face of life and death, the love of children seems irrelevant.

The veins on Rong Yunhe's forehead were bulging, and tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "Okay——"

Everyone broke down for two days

At this moment, it seemed that he was infected by his emotions, and wept aloud.

No one is not afraid of death.

......

After the banquet is over, everyone has calmed down, and it is time to go back to the house to sleep, even calmer than usual.

Usually, there will be a few people squatting in the dam and chatting about family affairs.

Tonight is like the end of the song

Inside the house, the patriarch's wife took out a jade pendant of excellent quality, tied it on the sleeping Rong Qi, and said with a smile: "Yunhe, from now on, Qi'er will be entrusted to you."

Rong Yunhe lowered his eyes, the tears on his eyelashes were still wet, and nodded: "Master and mother, don't worry."

The patriarch said: "Tomorrow morning, you will take Qi'er into the cave at the back, and you will not come out until there is no movement for two days. Now the outside is surrounded, and you can't get out."

"Don't even think about revenge. There is no king in the world. With your strength, it's like hitting an egg against a rock."
