My Dad is a Boss

Chapter 217 The Patriarch Decides to Stop Being a Human Being 9

Why doesn't he explain?

I was tired and didn't want to explain, so I caught him and took him back to the old men and women in the tribe to educate and punish him.

This is to prevent these old men and women from having too much idle time and being immersed in the sadness of losing their loved ones.

Mr. Qin is so kind.

Of course, Yinling's Gu couldn't cause any harm at all, let alone Qin Ye. Even the Gu worms used to deal with horses never came back.

Yinling began to doubt herself.

Is it because she is not skilled enough?

That's right, she was indeed stupid. She came out to find out her mother's background, but she was deceived by a pretty boy from the Central Plains. He even took her to the forbidden area of ​​the clan. She didn't know what the clan was like now.

The rocks were also driven away by her, and it was unknown whether they went back or were still in the Central Plains.

But Shanshi is not as stupid as her and should not be fooled.

When Yinling was about to accept her fate, she found herself back in the mountains.

The Jiuli tribe had not yet felt any substantial impact about the departure of their patriarch, but now the patriarch who had left has come back.

"Why did you come back?"

Qin Ye threw the silver bell in front of them: "I've caught up with him."

"Where are the Spring and Autumn Cicadas?"

Qin Ye reached under his clothes and took out the Spring and Autumn Cicada: "Here it is."

"That's great. Wuyin has been sorting through the clan's books these days and found a way. Perhaps Chunqiuchan can revive the sacred object."

Qin Ye tilted his head.

Don’t mention it, it’s not impossible.

The Spring and Autumn Cicada is known to bring back to life human flesh and bones, so it should not be difficult to let it revive the felled sacred tree.

After all, the sacred tree was cut down, not uprooted.

Even if it is not saved, as time goes by, the sacred tree may be able to grow new shoots.

It’s just that it may not be able to have the same effect as before, increasing the success rate of breeding poisonous insects and suppressing poisonous insects.

No one cared about Yinling. A group of old men came forward and reverently held the Spring and Autumn Cicada in their palms and brought it to the sacred tree.

The trunk of the sacred tree had long been completely eaten away by poisonous insects, and now only a stump remained.

Yinling fell silent. She looked around and had a bad guess in her mind.

She found a child of about seven or eight years old. She remembered that this was the son of her friend's sister, named Xiao An.

"Where's your mother?"

The child looked at her warily: "My mother is dead, my father is dead, and many uncles and aunts are dead."

"how come?"

"Because there was a traitor in the tribe. That traitor brought outsiders into our tribe, stole our sacred objects, and destroyed the sacred tree, causing poisonous insects and poisonous insects to riot. When I grow up, I will definitely kill that traitor."

Yinling froze in place. Are all the tribesmen dead?

Did she harm the tribe?

She stood there, motionless.

Although the child was a little wary, he still vaguely remembered what the aunt looked like. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she became. After recognizing that this was the aunt he often saw, the child's wariness disappeared.

But the aunt just stood there motionless, as if she was stupid. The child watched for a while, lost his patience, and was about to run away when Yinling grabbed him.

"Take me to your mother's grave."

The child agreed obediently and led the way.

In fact, the Jiuli people are not too obsessed with what happens after death. They prefer cremation because they have been dealing with insects all their lives and they know that they will rot after death and become food for insects, so they would rather burn it cleanly with a fire.

There is a house in the tribe, with plants outside that can repel insects and poisonous snakes, and inside are the tablets of the deceased members of the Jiuli tribe.

The urn is placed next to the altar and buried in the ground.

Since Yinling is talented enough and her grandfather is the clan leader, she is not unfamiliar with this place.

But there were obviously hundreds of brand new tablets inside, all of which were newly added.

With trembling hands, she touched each of the tablets and saw the names written in the Jiuli language on them.

"Were they all killed by the poisonous insects?"

The child felt that this aunt was a little strange, but he still shook his head and replied:

“Not entirely. My mother died to protect me. There were too many poisonous insects attacking the village, and the poisonous insects in the altar also revived one after another. They were ownerless poisonous insects, and coupled with the attack of the poisonous insects, they swarmed over any living thing they saw.

In order to protect me, my mother kept using the power of the poisonous insect, and finally she had no choice but to hide me in the jar and go out to lure the poisonous insect away. "

Yinling fell to the ground, and soon she saw the tablets of her peers who she had grown up with.

Yinling is actually not very old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she is different from other girls.

The Jiuli people do not have the concept of male superiority and female inferiority, and treat everyone equally.

In the Central Plains, unless they are the pampered young ladies, by the time they reach Yinling's age, they are all sensible and many of them have already become mothers.

Yin Ling was a simple person because of her living environment, but she happened to meet the male protagonist with evil intentions, and she unknowingly harmed the lives of her entire family.

She is different from those who know the consequences but ignore them for their lover. Her mistake was unintentional.

But obviously, either way, she has to take responsibility for what she does.

Here, the only five or six old men and women left in the tribe were gathered together discussing how to revive the sacred tree.

Suddenly, they heard the terrified scream of the child. The old man and the old woman, who had been protecting the children of the tribe as if they were their own eyes, suddenly turned into 100-meter runners and disappeared in a flash.

After protecting the child behind her, but not seeing any danger, the old lady looked at the child and asked, "What's wrong?"

The other old men even sacrificed their own natal Gu, each ready for battle.

Qin Ye was even more outrageous than them. The area around the village was densely populated by his poisonous insects. There were his poisonous insects everywhere, on the trees, on the grass, on the ground, underground, and in the water.

So Qin Ye was not panicked. He didn't believe that someone could break through his tight blockade and sneak into the tribe without his knowledge.

"That auntie's hair suddenly turned all white. Is she a monster that specializes in catching children and eating them?"

Old man and old woman: ...

Although they were a little speechless, they also let go of their guard and turned to look in the direction the child pointed. That place was the ancestral hall where the clan enshrined their ancestors.

At this time, the culprit who frightened the child and screamed in fear and ran away came out.

A group of old men lost their voices: "Yinling, your hair..."

Yin Ling knelt on the ground: "Yin Ling knows her fault and is willing to be devoured by the poisonous insects. Please punish me, elder!"

It can be seen that Yinling has cried in there. Her eyes are red and swollen, and the tears in the corners of her eyes are even red. It seems that she has cried tears of blood out of great sorrow and pain. Looking at her young age, her hair has turned white in an instant. This group of old men and women fell into silence.

Then, a group of people turned their attention to Qin Ye.

But Qin Ye had already disappeared.

Don't even think about throwing this kind of difficult problem to him. The original body didn't say that Yin Ling should do anything. He just wanted to protect the tribe and prevent them from becoming extinct.

So, the question of how to deal with Yin Ling has nothing to do with Qin Ye. Leave it to that group of old men and women to see how they decide.

dispose of?

This is a difficult problem for the elders. Although they are elders, they have just lived longer and their talent in raising Gu is better than that of ordinary members of the tribe.

They were grief-stricken over the loss of their relatives and children, but having lived longer they were more resilient to stress. Plus, they had young children who needed their support, so they quickly calmed down and dealt with the funeral arrangements.

So, what should we do with the culprit who is, in a sense, responsible for all this?

Originally they wanted to let the clan leader handle it, after all, Yinling was the clan leader's granddaughter, but they couldn't find the clan leader, and it was obvious that the clan leader must have been hiding.

Yin Ling probably saw something and said with some hope: "Elder, my grandfather is still alive, right?"

“It’s no different than being dead.”

"Grandpa, he..."

"If you had cared about your grandfather as much as you do now, you wouldn't have brought outsiders into the forbidden area to steal our clan's sacred objects."

"I... I know I was wrong. He deceived me with false sincerity. I thought he was a good man. He lied to me that his elders were in urgent need of help, so I took him back to the clan..."

"If he needs help urgently, he can come with you and tell us the truth. If he is truly sincere and filial, would we sit idly by and watch others lose their lives while insisting on taking the things to the grave?

Outsiders don’t know, but you grew up in the tribe since you were a child. Don’t you know the abilities of your tribe members?

Not to mention whether his elder could only be saved by the sacred Spring and Autumn Cicada. Even if it was true, it was possible for the Spring and Autumn Cicada to save his life, but how did he do it?

I coaxed you into bringing him into our tribe, and when he was discovered and failed to kill us, he destroyed our tribe's sacred tree.

Of course he could see the importance of the sacred tree to our tribe, and he did it on purpose.

In his eyes, even if my clan dies out, it has nothing to do with him."

Aru has a bad temper. This time he showed no mercy and spit out saliva wildly.

After spraying, seeing Yinling with tears streaming down her face and full of pain, I felt a little reluctant, but when I thought of my dead child, the reluctance faded away.

The attitudes of Wuyin Po Po and others are similar to that of Aru.

Finally, Granny Wuyin sighed, "In order to save the children that the young men in the tribe desperately protected, your grandfather originally planned to sacrifice himself with us to awaken the legendary Gu God.

But, the Gu God is not a good person either. Your grandfather discovered it early and stopped us from committing suicide. Only he himself had to endure the pain of being eaten by thousands of insects. All his flesh and blood was fed to the insects. Now only a skeleton is left.

He is now relying on his own spiritual Gu to prolong his life. He hastily cleaned up the mess in his clan and then went out to chase you. Now that you are back, he avoids you. I guess he doesn't want to see you.

Yinling, you have committed such a serious mistake, the tribe will definitely not tolerate you, you will leave the mountains and fend for yourself in the future, and you are not allowed to call yourself a member of the Jiuli tribe anymore."

"Mother-in-law..."

"That's enough. We lost our own children, the children we watched grow up, and the old friends we had lived with for most of our lives. The entire Jiuli tribe was almost destroyed. Ask yourself, how can you face these innocent people who died in vain?"
