Chapter 518 May Not Die

Chapter 518 Might Not Die

Wu Chi's aunt used to be the most talented Gu raiser in the whole village, and even Grandpa Wu thought about passing on the position of patriarch to her instead of Wu Yan.

Unfortunately, things backfired.

After Aunt Wu passed away, Grandpa Wu seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

He regretted that he did not teach the child well, made her misunderstand others, and harmed others and himself. At the same time, he also regretted that he did not oppose to the end and killed the only child of his eldest brother.

"When such a thing happened, the culprit was the man brought back by your aunt. Yu Gong, I am ashamed of those clan members who believed in me, and Yu privately, I am ashamed of my eldest brother and sister-in-law who will die early. Therefore, I asked myself to resign as the patriarch. bit, but everyone didn't blame me..."

This matter has been on Grandpa Wu's heart for twenty years, and thinking about it now is still painful.

So many people died in the village because of his negligence, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment. They hate the foreigner who caused everything, and they also resent Aunt Wu who led the wolf into the house.

But Aunt Wu's sacrifice at the last moment calmed down everyone's grievances.

People die like a lamp goes out, so what's the use of complaining anymore, people are gone.

Furthermore, if we really want to get to the bottom of it, Aunt Wu was also one of the victims.

Not to mention the Wu family, Grandpa Wu knew very well that the death of Aunt Wu back then was not only a guilt for the clan, a disappointment for the lover, but also a shameless face for the relatives.

But just because of her understanding before she died, Grandpa Wu was even more heartbroken and regretful, and regretted for the rest of her life.

"Auntie is certainly at fault, but the real culprit is that man. You really can't be blamed for this matter. Everyone can see your character, and because you know it, you can't bear to blame you."

Wu Chi changed the subject as he spoke, "Auntie and so many people in the clan died because of that man, what about that man? What happened afterwards?"

Wu Yan shook his head: "There was chaos in the village at that time, everyone was busy saving people, and then your aunt... When we regained our senses and went to look for the beast, the person had disappeared. Later, we were in the back mountain. A dead body wearing wedding clothes was found in the ravine, the clothes and face were scratched and soaked. Preliminary determination, it should be that man."

Wu Chi frowned: "That is to say, none of you saw that man die with your own eyes?"

"you could put it that way."

"Then the one who died at that time wasn't that man at all?"

As soon as Wu Chi said this, the faces of many people present changed.

Wu Yan agrees with his son's words: "At that time, everything happened too suddenly, and I was in a hurry to find someone. In fact, over the years, when I occasionally recalled the scene at that time, I also felt that it was full of doubts. Silkworm Gu..."

"You are skeptical, the person who taught that villager how to raise Gu is..."

"Ok."

Grandpa Wu pondered: "Ah Chi's guess may not be unreasonable."

Wu Yan looked solemn: "Then we..."

"It's best to let a few trustworthy people go over and have a look. The person raising the Gu is dead, and the people above will take over the matter. Maybe they have found something in the past few days, and I will call them later. Ask them to take our people over there to see if it is really him..."

Grandpa Wu's vicissitudes of eyes suddenly became sharp as a knife: "What was not completed 20 years ago has been delayed for so long, and it is time to give everyone an explanation."

Hearing what he said, everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Then this candidate..."

Wu Chi volunteered: "I'll go."

"You can't, those people are still there, you have to stay and stabilize them, your father will go."

Wu Chi was taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Wu Yan, only to see him nodding with a serious face and saying: "If it was really him, it was my negligence back then that let this crazy bastard go. Now I should to make up for this mistake."

He had already said that, and Wu Chi couldn't say anything more, so he only told him: "Dad, be careful yourself."

There is a saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

That bastard can do these things, so naturally he can't be a gentleman.

Wu Chi believed in his father's strength, but no matter how powerful he was, he was still a little worried that it was easy to dodge an open spear but hard to defend against a hidden arrow.

"Grandpa, those foreigners, what are you going to do...?"

Wu Chi has always known that people in the clan are xenophobic, and even have an inexplicable hostility towards outsiders.

Before today, he didn't know much about what happened twenty years ago, and he once felt that the tribe made a big fuss, but now, he can understand their disgust and rejection.

However, in this way, Tao Wan and Grandpa Tao might just...

"During this time, you should keep an eye on them, especially that Miss Ye. Before you find out whether they are related to the strangeness of the ancestral hall, don't act rashly."

"Ok, I see."

The grandfather and grandson are still discussing how to keep an eye on these outsiders, but they don't know that every word of their conversation has already reached the ears of the person concerned.

"What's wrong with the ancestral hall? Before we came, did anything strange happen to their ancestral hall?"

Compared to this, Shi Yuyan was obviously more concerned about: "You say, is there really some unknown treasure hidden in their ancestral hall? Otherwise, why send so many people to patrol there?"

Shi Yuyan knelt in the ancestral hall for the whole night last night. Although he was too sleepy and fell asleep in the second half of the night, he could still hear the frequent walking outside.

As far as he observed, there were at least three shifts outside in just one night, and each shift had seven or eight people. Those who didn't know it thought they were not guarding the ancestral hall, but some kind of treasure house!

Shi Lang rolled his eyes at his whimsical younger brother, and said helplessly: "Didn't they all talk about it just now, that there are Gu worms that followed the dormant ancestors after the death of the ancestors buried under it, maybe it is to prevent the tragedy of the year from repeating?"

"Probably not. Didn't they say that those Gu insects went crazy back then, and in order to save people, they should have killed those...?" Shi Yuyan recalled the poisonous insect swarm he saw at Cui Yuezhen's house before, and thought of these things Maybe it was buried under the floor where he was kneeling, and he couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

"Besides, if there are really Gu worms buried there, how could they be so relieved to let me, an outsider, go in and kneel in the ancestral hall? Are they not afraid of a repeat of the tragedy of the year? There must be some big treasure in there."

As soon as Shi Yuyan finished speaking, Ye Wanxi's gaze fell on him, causing him to tremble in fright: "Why... what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"You're right." Ye Wanxi rubbed her chin and thought for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "Don't you still have to kneel in the ancestral hall at night? If you're so curious, why don't you just try to look it up yourself? Those patrolling people should be Just stay outside, as long as you don't make too much noise, maybe you won't be discovered."
