In the courtyard, his family members were kneeling on the ground, and several old men were trembling as they looked at Long Xuan, whose face suddenly changed.
"I'll let you choose," Long Xuan stood on the steps in front of the door and said to the old men, "Do you want to protect Brother Nan and Brother Fu, or your own family."
"What crime did Brother Nan commit?!" Old man Wei was the most courageous among the old men. He was shaking at the moment, but he was shaking with anger. He didn't believe that Wei Lan and Luo Wei were so young. What unforgivable sins can people commit.
"Do I have to explain to you about the imperial court?" Long Xuan asked the old man Wei.
"Who the hell are you?" Old Man Wei asked Long Xuan, "Brother Nan, how did they offend you?"
Long Xuan glanced at the soldiers in the courtyard.
A soldier raised a knife and fell to the ground, slashing an old woman in the courtyard to the ground.
There was a scream of horror in the courtyard. The adults shouted, and the children cried in the chaos, and several old women fainted on the spot. Some adults who knew what they were thinking, after regaining their senses, they hurriedly covered the eyes of the little dolls.
"Brother!" Old Man Wei heard the old man shouting behind him, and looked back quickly, and saw the old patriarch passed out on the ground.
The old woman whose neck was chopped off by the soldiers on the spot was the old wife of the old patriarch. The old couple had been together for most of their lives, and suddenly they were separated by yin and yang. After the old patriarch was woken up by several old men, he pointed at Long Xuan, opened his mouth, and leaned to one side, and the old man went away.
Seeing the death of the old patriarch and his wife, Long Xuan said to the old men indifferently: "Don't say it's the people in this hospital, it's the people in your Xuanzhou city, I will kill if I want to. Hurry up and choose. Well, my patience is limited."
The lives of the people in a city and the lives of the two young people in the green mountains and valleys are more important, in fact, there is no need to think too much.
Long Xuan looked at the old man Wei who was standing in front of him with his head bowed, and said coldly, "Just trouble the old man to go to the valley, and be sure to invite Brother Nan to me."
Fu Yun stepped forward and shoved a kettle in his hand into Old Man Wei's hand.
"You must let Wei Lan drink the water in here on the way back to the city," Long Xuan ordered the old man Wei.
"You, are you going to poison Brother Nan?!" Old Man Wei almost threw the kettle away.
"I won't kill him, his life is more important than the lives of the people in your city," Long Xuan said, "Go and return quickly."
Old Man Wei walked out weakly with his legs.
"Old man," Long Xuan stared at the old man Wei again: "You have to remember that the lives of the people in this city are in your hands, if Wei Lan and the others escape, think about it for yourself, you Can one collect corpses for so many people?"
Old Man Wei's feet softened and he fell to the ground.
"Old man, you have to look at the road," Fu Yun came over and helped the old man up, seemingly kindly.
Long Xuan watched Old Man Wei walk out of the courtyard, and heaved a sigh of relief. Luo Wei, he thought to himself, I'm finally going to see you again.
In the wooden house, Luo Wei and Wei Lan had already fallen asleep, and they were awakened by a sudden knock on the door.
When Luo Wei heard the knock on the door, he became nervous and grabbed Wei Lan's hand.
"Who?!" Wei Lan shouted at the door and pushed Luo Wei behind the bed.
"It's me, Brother Nan, Brother Fu," Old Man Wei's voice came from outside the door.
Luo Wei and Wei Lan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Old Man Wei's voice. Wei Lan put on his coat and got off the kang bed to open the door. Luo Wei sat on the kang bed and put on his clothes.
Old Man Wei walked in and stopped in the center of the house.
Seeing that Old Man Wei's expression was wrong, Luo Wei quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
"Oh," the old man Wei looked at Wei Lan and said, "The old patriarch is gone, I came here specially to call you into the city."
At this time, both Luo Wei and Wei Lan knew that the word "go" meant death.
"How could this be?" Rowe asked, "Isn't he in good health all the time?"
Old Man Wei lowered his head and said, "That's how people are when they're old. I don't know when they will go."
"What about the old lady?" Wei Lan asked. After the old patriarch left, wouldn't the old lady be left alone
"Cry," Old Man Wei said, "No one can persuade me."
"Then," Luo Wei looked at Wei Lan and said, "Lan, I'll go with you."
"It's windy outside," said the old man Wei, "Fu Ge'er is in better shape, so he doesn't need to go. Nan Ge'er can go alone. Xuanzhou is young and young, Nan Ge'er can do things even when he goes. According to the rules of the clan, when the old man dies, the young people have to keep watch. If there are not enough young people in the city, I will not come to call Nange’er to enter the city.”
"I," Rowe looked at himself and said embarrassedly, "I can't seem to help much if I go."
"When the sun comes out, I'll ask an old guy to pick you up and take you into the city," Old Man Wei said to Luo Wei, "I can't see you, is Nan Ge'er in the mood to work?"
This time, even Wei Lan was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll go into the city with you."
"Lan, hurry up and get dressed," Luo Wei handed Wei Lan's clothes to Wei Lan as he walked to the kitchen.
"Brother Fu, what are you going to do?" Old Man Wei asked hurriedly.
"I'll go get some eggs," Luo Wei said to the old man Wei as he walked, "brought it to the old lady."
"You can keep it for yourselves," Old Man Wei's eyes filled with tears, and he turned around quickly, daring Wei Lan and Luo Wei to notice that something was wrong with him.
After Wei Lan got dressed in a hurry, Luo Wei walked out of the kitchen with a basket full of eggs.
"Brother Fu, listen to me," Old Man Wei said to Luo Wei, "You keep it for yourself, the patriarch has it."
"This is a little thought from me and Lan," Luo Wei handed the egg into Wei Lan's hands, looked at the old man Wei, and said, "Master, are you sad too?"
Old Man Wei wished that he would die immediately, but he couldn't, this was not his life alone, there was still a whole city of people's lives there. "How can you not be sad?" He said to Luo Wei: "This person will suddenly be gone, I can't think of it," Old Man Wei said, wiping away tears.
"People can't be resurrected from the dead," Luo Wei hurriedly advised: "Don't be too sad, you just said that people have such a day."
"Yeah, don't be sad anymore," Old Man Wei climbed into the carriage. "What's the use of being sad?"
Wei Lan walked up to Luo Wei and said, "Be careful at home alone. At dawn tomorrow, I'll have someone pick you up into the city."
"Don't worry," Luo Wei adjusted Wei Lan's clothes again, "It's hard to walk on the mountain road in the dark, you have to be careful."
"The uncle can drive the car alone, am I not as good as him?" Wei Lan laughed.
"Shh," Luo Wei hurriedly hit Wei Lan lightly, "what are you laughing at at this time? It's not good for the uncle to see it."
"Understood," Wei Lan agreed to Luo Wei, turned around and got on the carriage, and sat in front of the carriage.
"Be careful," Rowe urged, standing under the car.
"Sleep for a while when you go back," Wei Lan also told Luo Wei: "I will have someone pick you up early tomorrow morning to pick you up into the city, remember to wear more clothes then."
"Okay," Luo Wei nodded to Wei Lan, "I see."
"I'm leaving."
"Um."
Luo Wei stood outside the bamboo fence and watched Wei Lan drive the carriage away quickly. The wind in the mountains was very strong at night, and Luo Wei suddenly felt very cold, and a coolness penetrated into his bones, causing Luo Wei to shiver.
