Chapter 10 Making Decisions
The warm sun sets, and the Peach Blossom Land, which was crowded with people, has returned to its former peace again, at least on the surface.
The weather was still very cold in spring evenings. The white and old patriarch sat alone on the millstone, leaning against the stone mill, not ignoring the cool air coming up, and staring at the sky stained with a trace of sunset.
A pair of rough hands covered with old-fashioned spots were placed weakly on his knees, and the afterglow reflected on his wrinkled face, making him look a little unstable.
Not far away, two older men walked towards the place with crutches, and one of them was holding a cherry-clad dress in his hand.
When they came to the stone mill, they put the ginger roe on the old patriarch, and the two old men leaned on crutches.
There were birds passing by in the sky, holding a chicken feather for building a nest.
After a brief silence, the oldest man spoke first: "Three, are you still thinking about this? Don't take that person's nonsense to heart!
Back then, our ancestors avoided the war and enjoyed peace, but we didn't know that God was the most fair and never forgiven anyone. After our ancestors avoided disaster, their descendants would have to bear it on their behalf. Such things happening in Qingshanao are a disaster and have nothing to do with our lifestyle.
These are all decided by our ancestors and are not your business.”
These two are the only two remaining people in the Peach Blossom Land of the same generation as the old patriarch. Because they are old and in poor health, they have long ignored things.
After listening to the younger generations today, they told Wang Qing's words and said some of the old patriarch's reactions, the two old men who knew the old patriarch's temperament and thoughts forced themselves out.
The old patriarch looked at the sky where twilight was coming and was silent for a while before sighing: "That man is not talking nonsense, he is right.
The long-term failure to intermarry with outsiders has made Qingshan'ao's bloodline assimilation very much, and this is the root of the crisis.
There are records of people with abnormal brains in the genealogy. When people first entered this place, no one was unsophisticated. After living for about thirty years, the first abnormal person appeared here.
At first, everyone didn't care and thought it was just an accident, but you and I knew it too.
By the time our generation was in a state of mind, the number of people who were not smart enough had reached 50%!
Now, nine out of ten newborn babies are abnormal!
If we continue to carry on like this, it will not take a hundred years to completely destroy us!
Without anyone to guide or take care of, these children cannot survive!”
The voice was hoarse and low, no longer the majesty that he had when he was in front of everyone today, mixed in the dusk, and it seemed indescribable desolation.
"He was not wrong! We are indeed deceiving ourselves all the time!
Even though we know that this will eventually lead to destruction, our fear of the outside world makes us choose to live a life of silence! We are unwilling to make efforts to change the difficulties we face!
The same is true for me as the leader of a clan!
Although I tried my best to get rid of this suffocating dilemma, my fear of the outside world bound me, I struggled and hesitated until I made up my mind six years ago, but I made a decision that was not ashamed of…”
The turbid old tears broke through the layers of wrinkles and dripped, and the white old patriarch looked particularly desolate in the twilight.
"You have done a good job. My brothers and I know what kind of humiliation you endured when you make this decision..."
The thing that the people in Peach Blossom Land buried in their hearts was most reluctant to mention. Today, Wang Qing rudely pulled away the last fig leaf and exposed it directly in broad daylight. This feeling is even more uncomfortable than killing people!
The old patriarch was crying and shook his head slowly: "No, not good at all! It was my hesitation that made us miss too much time in vain, which further aggravated the crisis in Qingshanao!
It was my hesitation that made the children feel unbearable humiliation...
What do I do!"
In the dusk, the old patriarch's hoarse voice made people feel sad.
"Second brother, sixth brother!
I can't continue like this, I really can't continue like this!
Now, while I am still alive, my words can be taken seriously by everyone. I must make a decision! In any case, I must create a way out for future generations!
Otherwise, I really don’t know how to explain to my ancestors in the underworld!”
The old second brother opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed silently, freed up a hand, and gently patted the old patriarch's shoulder.
"San brother! Go and do it! I support you no matter what decision you make! If that bastard dares to be rude, I will beat him out!"
Another young old man reached out and patted the millstone beside him.
Wang Qing, who was tied to a wooden stake, had his hands and feet numb. He knew that this was because the blood was tied for too long.
Apart from these, his heart was also very nervous.
After entering the Peach Blossom Land once, he knew the caution of the people inside, and he also knew that the Peach Blossom Land was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as he bent over the hole, he could not break through even if there were ten times more people.
Faced with so many people’s oppression, the greatest possibility for the Taohuayuan people is to completely block the stone cave. In this way, my side mission will be completely finished!
Although the system does not say what kind of punishment it will receive after the task fails, based on the past experience of watching infinite flow, it will directly erase whatever you want, cut off the little bird|bird, shorten forty centimeters and transform directly, etc., so you know that the task failure is not a good feeling.
So he chose to take risks by himself.
After learning that the person he caught was Heifu, he told the chief clerk his plan and asked him to cooperate with him.
That is to deliberately show the nobleness of one's identity, then untie the rope of the black husband, lure him to hijack him and leave, only in this way can one enter the Peach Blossom Land.
Wang Qing's performance in Peach Blossom Spring today looks very rampant, but in fact these are also the result of his careful consideration.
The last experience made him know that it was unrealistic to break the dilemma of breaking the Peach Blossom Land and thinking about using Huairou methods. The only thing he could do was to break the drum and heavy hammer!
He took out bloody things that they did not want to mention deliberately avoiding, and forced them to look at them and think about them, and make changes.
It's just that the risk of doing so is too great.
Although I knew that according to the old patriarch who would rather let his grandson's wife be insulted like that, he would explore a path to save the predicament of the Peach Blossom Land, his words and some of the words he had revealed to Heifu before would be useful, but this was just his own guess.
Once something goes wrong in any of these links, your situation is really worrying.
It looks great to become a stallion, but after seeing many women in Peach Blossom Land who only know how to smile and have a yellow nose and a muffled face, Wang Qing felt that he had really fallen to this point, so he would just wipe his neck and feel happy.
The sound of footsteps that were not too fast and the sound of crutches mixed in it ended Wang Qing's random thoughts.
He looked up and saw the old patriarch who was turning around the corner of the room with a lantern.
