He Cuihua was stunned by Erdan's beating. At that time, she fell to the ground with a cry and cried: "Li Erdan hit someone, this person is a madman, you must make the decision for me!"
He Rongguang's son He Zheng and his daughter-in-law Zhu Hong rushed over after hearing the sound. They were shocked when they saw He Cuihua lying on the ground rolling around and Ye Yingchun looking crazy.
He Zheng walked up to Er Dan, glared at him fiercely, then picked up his mother and helped her back.
He Rongguang walked out of the crowd at this time, pretending to be weak, walked over, poured a bottle of potion into Ye Yingchun's mouth, and said quietly: "You will pass out later, and we will take care of other things."
Give it to me"
Standing up, He Rongguang walked up to Erdan, gave him a hard look, and said softly to the villagers: "Dear fellow villagers, I really owe my daughter-in-law today, if she hadn't just given me a beating.
Needle, give me some medicine. I probably won’t wake up now. Ye Yingchun is Li Erdan’s aunt. The two of us are the people who have the most contact with Li Erdan, so we are cursed.”
Erdan felt that it was so fake. Erya and He Xiaoqin were the people who had the most contact. He was about to ask why these two people were not cursed.
He Rongguang continued: "Our village was originally relatively poor. Our ancestors told us not to go to mass graves. There must be a certain reason. Although I have regained my consciousness now, my health is very bad. When I got sick, I became confused and had hallucinations.
It’s true, everyone has seen it, and I’m not the only one.”
"Therefore, I personally believe that this curse still exists. The life of our village is making great strides forward. We cannot destroy the stability and unity of our village just because Li Erdan brought the curse back. Let's catch Li Erdan and go to us together."
In the He Family Ancestral Hall, please call the clan leaders and let them comment and see how to solve this matter!"
The villagers responded to what the village chief said. They were really scared of poverty. They really didn’t want to go back to before liberation. They just wanted to live a good life. If there was another curse in the village, it would be unforgivable.
matter.
A few middle-aged uncles came up, escorted Erdan and rushed to the He family ancestral hall. The village chief called the clan leader, and then everyone went together.
He Xiaoqin and Erya were extremely nervous. If the clan leader agreed with the village chief's statement when they arrived at the ancestral hall, Erdan might really be driven away.
She became increasingly uneasy, but she had no choice but to rely on the patriarch's fair and just judgment.
When we arrived at the ancestral hall, everyone stood on both sides. Two respected old men from the He family sat in front of the ancestral hall. They were about eighty years old, but they were in good health and bright.
After understanding the situation, the two old men looked at each other. The old man whom He Xiaoqin had found last time stood up, walked to Er Dan, looked at his eyes and skin, and nodded.
"Folks, I understand the situation. No one in our Hejia Village has violated the rules left by our ancestors over the years. But Li Erdan is also from our Hejia Village. This is a fact. Since he broke the rules, he should be punished.
.However, we have no way of testing whether the curse mentioned by our ancestors is true or whether it will bring a curse to our village. However, our principle is to follow the rules of the village. However, if Erdan can do it for
Our village has made contributions, but we still cannot easily drive him away."
As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, everyone thought it was reasonable, but Erdan was quite anxious. Didn't he mean to drive him away?
He Rongguang was overjoyed. Now the clan leader had spoken. He was a highly respected old man. No one in the village was disobedient.
Deep in this mountain, the words of their elders are like imperial edicts, possessing a certain amount of authority and deterrence.
"Li Erdan, since you broke into the mass graves and violated the rules of your ancestors, you should be punished. But now, do you have the ability to make some contribution to our village? If you don't make any contribution, then I can only live as our ancestors.
Follow the rules and follow the rules.”
He Cuihua, who came here at this moment, was also very excited. Thinking that the clan leader had spoken, this kid would not be able to pull off any tricks, and it would be a matter of time before he was kicked out of Hejia Village.
At this time, Tian Min, the village women's director, hurried in, ran to He Rongguang, and spoke quietly.
He Rongguang was so happy that he couldn't help walking up to the clan leader and said respectfully: "Clan Leader, I just received the news that a bullfighting competition will be held in eight villages in ten miles in half a month. Our village has not had this event for many years.
Haven't you ever won a bullfight? I think if Erdan wants to stay, we will give him a chance to represent our village in the competition. If he can win, then we will consider him still from Hejia Village.
Man, what do you think?"
The clan leader looked at He Rongguang, although he felt that this made it clear that there was no way out for Erdan. The cattle in Hejia Village had been defeated over the years, and were even eliminated in the semi-finals. How could they possibly win?
But He Rongguang is a cadre in the village, and everyone in private knows that he has connections in the county. As long as he doesn't kill people and set fires, no one dares to touch his position, and the clan leader has to give him some respect.
Erdan looked at He Xiaoqin, but she looked panicked, and quickly told Erdan that this He Rongguang was too insidious. In events like bullfighting competitions, Hejiacun ranked last every year and had never entered the semi-finals. This time
There would be no exception, she was worried, fearing that this time it would be more misfortune.
The clan leader discussed it with another old man and finally agreed with the village chief's opinion.
"Li Erdan, you know that mass graves are the rules left by our ancestors. You knowingly break the rules and you deserve to be punished. Now you are punished to represent our Hejia Village in the bullfighting competition in the town's Shiliba Village. If you can win, you brothers and sisters will
Just stay, are you willing to accept the punishment?"
Everyone looked at Erdan and the eyes of these people. Erdan felt a little chilled in his heart. He really didn't expect that at the critical moment, none of these villagers would come out to speak for him.
It was obvious that this was what the village chief and Ye Yingchun performed to put the blame on him. They did not want to drive him away, but they used the curse Zu Wan said to force him to the cliff.
Erdan's eyes were turning quickly, thinking to himself, I have the inheritance from my ancestors and various skill manuals, can I be afraid of you?
"Okay, it's a deal, isn't it just a bullfighting competition? If I win first place, are there any rewards?"
Everyone burst out laughing, and the clan leader also shook his head, feeling that this kid was talking nonsense and speaking too loudly.
He Rongguang sneered, despising Erdan in his heart, and said with a smile: "Li Erdan, if you can really win the first place in the bullfighting competition, not only can you brothers and sisters stay, but I can also help you brothers and sisters build a simple
's shelter."
Looking at He Rongguang's cunning face and the jealousy in his eyes, Erdan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Okay, it's a deal, every spit and nail, whoever keeps his word will be his grandson."
He Xiaoqin and Erya were shocked. They didn't expect Erdan to fall into their trap like this.
The two of them stared wide-eyed, looking at Erdan's angry look, and felt that the sky was about to fall.
