Yun Jingchu was slightly startled. He had discovered that Father Ge was a completely unsociable person, sometimes more difficult to deal with than the village chief.
After thinking about it, Yun Jingchu said softly with a sigh: "How can you say that you don't blame yourself for this kind of thing? His Majesty Aotian and everyone, especially Hongzhu and Agui who take care of him, have a deep relationship
, if something happens to you in the future, he will not only blame himself and feel guilty, but he will also be sad."
While talking, Yun Jingchu looked into Father Ge's eyes. After hearing Yun Jingchu's words, Father Ge couldn't help but avoid Yun Jingchu's eyes.
"Of course, I am not advising you to do this just because we are afraid of our guilt and sadness. In the final analysis, it is for the sake of your safety." Yun Jingchu added.
Everyone was silent.
"Princess Kang, no matter what you say, we will not leave there. If our safety is threatened in the future and makes you sad, we can only say sorry and just treat it as selfish." After a long silence, the old man
The village chief sighed, his tone still as firm as before.
Everyone has said this, and if Yun Jingchu still insists on what he just said, it would be too unkind.
His eyes flashed, and Yun Jingchu decided to ask his question: "I want to ask you an abrupt question. You are unwilling to leave there, but are there any special reasons or rules that cannot be changed?"
As soon as Yun Jingchu said this, several old men looked at each other again...
Yun Jingchu said quickly: "If it's not convenient for you to answer, you can just not answer."
"It's not impossible to say." The old village chief said slowly, "Hundreds of years ago, after our ancestors took refuge there, they set a rule that no one in the village could enter or leave the village at will unless necessary.
You are also not allowed to live outside."
Yun Jingchu's heart sank, there was indeed such a rule.
"Has no one wanted to go out and live after all these years? What will happen if you insist on going out?" Yun Jingchu asked pretending to be curious.
"Yes. However, except for a few people in the village, others don't know the way out and can't get out at all." The old village chief said calmly.
"Oh..." Yun Jingchu nodded, paused, and said, "What if, what if, I mean what if, if someone goes out, will the village punish him?"
"The ancestral precepts stipulate that if someone goes out, the Kaoshan Village will draw a clear line with him, and immediately seal the original road and open other roads." The old village chief said with a solemn expression.
So decisive.
Yun Jingchu was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "...I wonder why the ancestors of the mountain village who originally relied on the mountain village avoided living there?"
"Because of the war." The old village chief said calmly, "Hundreds of years ago, the tribes fought, and the people were in dire straits, with countless casualties. The ancestors of Kaoshan Village fled all the way during the war, and finally found an isolated place like Kaoshan Village.
So he settled there and made an ancestral motto not to allow future generations to go out."
The old village chief didn't hide anything and calmly answered Yun Jingchu's question.
War? This is a very reasonable reason.
If it was due to war, it might really be estimated to be hundreds of years ago. Since Aotian Kingdom unified this land five hundred years ago, there have been no wars, and even border conflicts have been rare.
"But, the old village chief has no war anymore, so the reason for escaping is no longer valid." Yun Jingchu couldn't help but remind him.
