When everyone was having a hard time making a choice, Yuelun bit her finger, pointed to the sky and shouted: "I, Yuelun, swear to heaven, earth and ancestors here, even if everyone elects me to be the leader, I will refuse. I will never be the leader of Yueyi, who only wants to be in charge of the criminal law for Yueyi's divination and sacrifice. If there is any violation, let the sky thunder fall and burn me to death!"

"Everyone believes and loves the old leader. I hope that the old leader will get better, but divination is not a good omen. If the old leader really... Really can't wake up, I won't be the leader either!"

There was a lot of applause from below, and they believed in Yuelun's words, because Yuelun swore in front of everyone, and once such an oath was violated, the tribe would object.

The situation took a turn for the worse, Yue Lun held his bitten finger, looked at Qing Hip viciously, and asked, "Do you dare to swear like this? How dare you say you don't want to be the leader?"

Qing Hip never expected that Yue Lun would do such a great job, he was stunned for a moment, and argued: "What does the oath have to do with this? Can you say that I set the fire after the oath?"

Moon Lun did not answer, but asked again: "Do you dare to swear like this? Do you dare to say that you don't want to be the leader?"

Qing Hip retreated step by step, his complexion became extremely ugly, he kept saying that it was not his own people who set the fire, he was the biggest competitor of Yuelun, and the two had almost the same management in Yueyi, and they were slightly inferior. It is impossible to swear like a moon wheel, because he really wants to be the leader, but once he swears, all his hopes will be cut off.

Under the persecution of the moon, what he dodged was the covenant oath, but the people below thought it was the arson, and there were boos.

When Yue Lun forced Qing Hip into a corner, he turned around suddenly, Qing Hip felt oppressed and Dunsong was about to speak, but heard Yue Lun shouting at the crowd: "He can burn Yue Mei to death in order to be the leader; If he became the leader, wouldn’t he treat us like this? When he was in charge of land distribution, didn’t he distribute the best land to his people? Could such a person be allowed to be the leader? Trying to kill the city Chinese, according to the law of the city, what should we do?"

After the questioning, the people below shouted: "According to the law of the city, this will be executed!"

"Yes, stone him to death!"

"He's like a lice who only knows how to drink our blood. We can't let him be the leader! He can burn Yuemei to death, and he can also burn us to death!"

"If there is a war, he won't retreat at the end like the old leader. He will definitely leave us behind and run away! If it weren't for that war, how could the old leader only have one daughter?"

"Kill him!"

People shouted, but they didn't act immediately, they were just angry, and occasionally pushed and shoved with the people in front, and the situation was still under control.

But at this moment, a stone flew out of nowhere and hit the head of a person who was shouting angrily, blood flowed out immediately, and a child's exaggerated and terrified voice in the crowd shouted: "It's over! He This is to kill us people first! Run away! We won’t kill you, you can be the leader... Ah... I don’t want to die..."

Chen Jian from a distance looked a little embarrassed, this kind of old-fashioned method was very effective, and the conspirators still enjoyed it for thousands of years. After all, the acting skills at this time were still a bit clumsy, far worse than the life blood sacrifice in the previous life.

He looked pitifully at the blue buttocks who were trying to escape and justify in the distance, and then looked at the crowd who were not frightened by the children's babbling but were even more angry, and sighed: "You are far from the moon, death It's not wrong."

The old leader's previous decisions are still unclear, so Chen Jian thought that the dust had settled. When the group of extremely angry people below were about to be detonated, Chen Jian turned around and asked Yue Mei behind him: "Yue Mei Does Lun have a son?"

Yue Mei wanted to beg Chen Jian not to let everyone fight, but she didn't expect that the chaos had become like this. Chen Jian would suddenly ask such a question, and then subconsciously replied: "Yes."

Chen Jian didn't ask any more questions, and shouted to the people around him: "Protect Yuemei, get out of here. Quick!"

After shouting, she said to Yue Mei in a grand manner: "Get out of here, it's a mess here, girls, be careful, don't get stepped on, stand behind me."

Stretching out his hand to pull Yuemei behind him, the young people from Xiacheng who accompanied him immediately stood in two rows as densely as they usually train, and stood together arm in arm, as if standing on the top of a mountain, Chen Jian was protected in the middle, Move back little by little.

The angry crowd had already begun to vent their anger, and at the moment when several people raised a huge boulder and threw it at the green buttocks, Chen Jian stretched out his hand to cover Yuemei's terrified eyes.

Chapter 6 waiting

After calmly retreating to a secluded place, the hustle and bustle of Yueyi continued. After the rage, it turned into a kind of carnival. The food, slaves and land of the Qingbutt family will be redistributed. Everyone involved feels at ease, after all, Qingbutt Do it wrong first.

Chen Jian looked back at Yue Mei, she still had a terrified expression on her face, and followed Chen Jian closely, even if the shadows were just staggered and the sun shining on her eyes, it made her a little uneasy.

"Have you never seen a murder?"

"I have seen."

"Then why are you so afraid?"

Chen Jian does not believe that people in this era have never seen a dead person, and they will not be afraid if they see a lot of them. In his previous life, his grandfather’s house was in a yellow flood zone. This is the imprint of the times, and he does not believe that Yue Mei of this era can be exempted.

Yuemei hid behind Chen Jian until Chen Jian stopped, then she hid in the shadow and sighed: "I have seen dead people. But...but what I am afraid of is...what everyone is angry about is not the green butt thinking To kill me, but to be angry at the fact that Qing Hip wants to be the leader?"

Chen Jian nodded and said: "Actually, they are all the same. If you become a leader, you will kill more people. Everyone is afraid of killing themselves, so they will naturally be angry."

"A leader kills... as long as he is not a slave, he needs a law. In our city, the moon is judged according to the law. A slave is not a person. This is different. Could it be that you, Xia City... you, a leader, can kill people at will? ?”

"of course not!"

Chen Jian hastily denied that, in fact, looking at the entire world as far as he knew, no clan leader had the ability to kill at will.

"A leader doesn't use a knife to kill people. There is a city to the west of you, just on the way from Xia City, there was chaos there just now, and the clansmen expelled the leader. In fact, the leader never personally killed a person, but The rule he made was that everyone must cultivate the public land first and then the private land. Regardless of the size of the land, at least the living must pay a certain amount of grain. Therefore, some people with less land gave birth to children, because they had to pay grain. Children can’t work until they grow up. If they’re good enough, they’ll be fine, but if they’re bad, they’ll be thrown into the water and drowned. If they die, they’ll lose a share of the poll tax.”

"As the leader, has he ever personally killed a person? But were those drowned children killed by their parents? Or by the leader? The same is true for you in Yueyi. If such a person is replaced as the leader, Aren't you all afraid?"

Yuemei seemed to understand, but after she understood, she felt colder on her body, this was completely different from the world she knew, she stopped talking, and lowered her head to think about everything she heard.

"Didn't your father tell you these things?"

"No."

"Where's your mother?"

"He died very early. Before today, I never knew the world was like this. You just said this, and I suddenly remembered something. There is a large Naizi forest outside the city. It is said that a long time ago There was a war there, and many people died. Every spring, I always see white flowers blooming there, more than anywhere else, and when the breeze blows, they fall one after another, as if a snow fell in spring. I am very happy I like it there, I think it’s beautiful, and I even sang about the Naizi Forest. But after you said this today, it suddenly occurred to me... those blooming flowers are actually the flesh and blood of those dead people? What I’ve always seen are flowers , but never think of those rotten meat..."

Yue Mei's tone was full of emotion, and Chen Jian sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't tell you this today? It's good to never know."

"It's not the same. It's like the sky is dark. I want to know that the sky will not change because of me. In that case, I can think that the sky will be dark when I close my eyes; or I can think that the sky is still bright when I close my eyes." I just can’t see it. But what about me now? It’s like someone has been telling me: Mei, close your eyes and it’ll be dark... So I believed it and never thought about other answers. Is this true? the same."

The helpless wry smile on his face flashed past, and finally he bowed to Chen Jian and said, "I still want to thank you. You let me know the things I don't like, but you didn't do the things I don't like. It's like the killing I saw, but it's not my eyes that kill. I never knew that there are so many things in the city... What should I do in the future?"

She seemed to be asking, but she didn't seem to want to know the answer. Chen Jian didn't say much, and said to a few people: "Send her back to Yuelun, it's safe there."

Several people came out in response, and kept Yuemei in the middle. After leaving for a long time, Yuemei suddenly turned around and asked, "Don't you know what I should do in the future? Or do you know but don't want to tell me?"

After asking this sentence, she stood there without moving. Chen Jian didn't look back, and said after a while: "You can still go to that piece of Naizilin in the future, and still sing the lyrics you sang for Naizilin. Just forget about everything that happened today, it's never the same as before. That's fine."

He didn't look back, and left with the people. Yuemei stared blankly at Chen Jian's back, reminiscing about the last words, and murmured when Chen Jian turned the corner: "Naizilin hasn't changed, but I have changed……"

Chen Jian didn't hear these words, and it wasn't until long after he went back that those clansmen who escorted Yuemei came back and told him.

"Ji Xia, you actually feel sorry for her, don't you?"

"When pigs are slaughtered, pigs will also be afraid, cry and struggle. I will feel sorry when I see it, but it doesn't mean I won't eat pork because of it. There is nothing that can be changed about Yueyi. Moon Wheel Not a leader, but no one can be a real leader anymore."

"But... It seems that there are still many people who oppose the moon. I don't understand, but it seems that the people who oppose the moon are like the wolf skins and civet cats of our Xiacheng, and they are different from ordinary people. of."

Chen Jian thought for a while, then drew out the bronze sword and said, "The moon wheel activated the people in Yueyi, and these people are like bronze swords, they have double edges. Those powerful people who oppose the moon wheel are like Wood. The blade can cut wood, but it will also cut the moon itself, so he needs to use wood to make a scabbard, and those woods also know the horror of the blade, knowing that the hilt is in the hand of the moon, they also Will stand with the moon and use myself as a scabbard."

Taking back the dagger, Chen Jian smiled and said: "But these have nothing to do with us. In any case, Yuelun supports the clan Dongshou, and it seems that he will support me, because he used me before. If you don't want me to hate him, He will come to me."

When the clansmen were skeptical, the guards outside said softly, "Ji Xia, Moon Wheel has brought people here."

Chen Jian signaled everyone not to speak, and stood quietly. After a while, Yue Lun came in, and first apologized repeatedly: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen in the city. This time it is also thanks to Ji Xia, if Yue Mei really Burned to death, no matter how I explain it, the tribe will not believe it. Letting such a person become the leader of the city is like a cat getting into a mouse's nest, and it will destroy the city."

He smiled at Chen Jian, and then said: "Jixia is going to Sucheng Dongshou this time, the leader of our city is still asleep, I still have a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I can't go. But this matter It was decided by the leader before, even if none of us can go, we will choose someone to represent Yueyi to participate. Please wait another three to five days, Jixia, and go along the way together."

Chen Jian smiled wryly and said, "Even if you go along the way, you can only go to Sucheng. Xiacheng is not the relative who swore to you at the beginning. When you arrive in Sucheng, it is naturally different from you."
