The village chief's son, listening to the white-bearded old village chief's words, showed annoyance and muttered: "This is the truth, but why do I have to watch the night alone every time? Can't we take turns?"
Although the white-bearded old village chief was quite old, his ears were still quite sensitive. Hearing his son's murmurs, he suddenly became angry.
He originally planned to curse loudly, but after looking away at his family members, he suppressed his anger and cursed in a low voice: "You still have the nerve to complain?"
"If it weren't for your boy, those monsters could come to our village? So many people have died in the village over the years. Logically speaking, they must be blamed on your boy! Now we can't sleep well at night. , all because of you, kid!"
"If I hadn't been your father, I would have hanged you long ago and apologized to those monsters! If I really wanted to hang you, maybe those monsters would have spared our village!"
"Now I'm just asking you to keep watch all night. Do you still have the nerve to complain?"
The white-bearded old village chief became angrier and more excited as he spoke, and even reached out to hit his son.
The village chief's son was so frightened that he took two steps forward, covered his father's mouth, and said hurriedly: "Dad! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I didn't do anything. Why did it happen?" It’s the culprit.”
"What happened back then was only my fault? That's not..."
Seeing the old man staring at him fiercely, the son of the village shut up angrily and did not continue talking.
The white-bearded old village chief glared at his son fiercely until he obediently closed his mouth. His eyes softened a little, but he still asked angrily: "Are you watching? What if you don't watch?" , I won’t care about your bad things from now on!”
"Look, look, look. Can't I see?" The village chief's son relented, and then immediately changed the subject and said, "Dad, the voice of the man who was standing on our roof just now sounds a bit familiar. You know the people in the village?" The person is more familiar to me than me, can you tell who it is?"
The village chief's son originally just wanted to divert his father's attention and stop him from worrying about this issue.
I just didn't expect that the village chief actually thought about it seriously, then frowned and looked at him and said, "Today that foreigner came to me and asked about those fragments. I excused myself and said I didn't know, and then took it with me He is coming to find you. Is this voice that of the foreigner?"
The son of the village was stunned for a moment, then thought about it in his mind, compared it, and immediately nodded as if he had a sudden realization, and said: "Yes, yes, yes! That's that person's voice! I thought he was dead, so I didn’t think about him.”
"I never expected that the person just now was actually him!"
"Dead?" The white-bearded old village leader looked at his son and asked with a frown: "Tell him that those fragments were found in the woods outside the village, and lure him to go outside the village. Have you gone to the woods?"
"Yes!" The village chief's son nodded and replied, "I just lured him into the woods outside the village, so I thought he was dead."
"I didn't expect that this guy's life was so long. He didn't die even when he went into the woods, and he still managed to come out. It's really a ghost!"
"Uh... Of course, it's also possible that he didn't go to the woods at all, he just walked around outside and then came back."
"That's not right!" The white-bearded old man shook his head and looked thoughtful. He thought for a while and then denied his son's words: "You said he didn't go to the woods. That's wrong. He must have gone!"
In his son's confused eyes, he explained: "After all these years, don't you understand the nature of the monsters outside? When have you ever seen someone outside the house but not attacked by them?"
"Don't say climb up to the roof, even if you hide in the cellar or underground, they will dig out the man even if they dig three feet into the ground!"
"But that foreigner is standing on our roof. Those monsters, let alone climbing up to kill him, don't even dare to look at him!"
"You know what that means?"
The son of the village followed his father's words, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Does it mean... those monsters... are afraid of that outsider?"
Then, he immediately retorted: "Impossible! That boy is not tall, and he has not even a pound of flesh on his body. His gestures and gestures give people the impression of being insignificant."
"With his small body and weak kidneys, let alone monsters, even our big goose, he may not be able to defeat him! How could those monsters be afraid of him?"
"Then tell me, why did those monsters turn a blind eye to him?" The old white-bearded village chief was speechless and asked his son directly.
The son of the village was stunned by his father's words, his mind was spinning wildly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some big secret, and he said excitedly: "Dad! I know! That guy is not a foreigner at all. He is an accomplice of those monsters!”
"Dad! Think about it! When those foreigners came to our village, something would happen on the first day."
"But last night, when all the foreigners were together, nothing happened. But tonight, as soon as they separated, something happened!"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"But if that guy is an accomplice of those monsters, then things make sense!"
"Last night, it was because he stayed with other people and in order not to reveal his identity, the monsters did not attack those outsiders."
"After all, if the monsters attacked those outsiders last night, then basically those outsiders wouldn't be able to escape."
"If he is the only one left alive, then we people must know that there is something wrong with him."
"Then today, those foreigners live separately and no longer live with that guy, so there is no problem of being exposed. Those monsters can attack those foreigners with confidence and boldness!"
"This can also reasonably explain why those monsters didn't attack him while he was standing on the roof of our house."
"And, Dad, look! If he is so powerful and those monsters are afraid of him, then why doesn't he just save people?"
"So many people were begging him to save them just now, but he was not only indifferent, but also watched them being killed by monsters."
"His actions have fully demonstrated that he must be in the same group with the monster!"
The old man with a white beard, the village chief, looked at his son's vow and confidence, and thought about it along his train of thought, which made sense. However, he always felt that his son was unreliable, and the things he came up with were really unreliable. Not necessarily right.
The village chief's son saw that his father was still thinking and did not respond to his words, feeling that he was not recognized by him.
So, he found another way and said: "Father! Regardless of whether he is the traitor of those monsters or not, you have to say that he is, and you have to keep him in this position!"
Seeing his father giving him a doubtful look, he felt a little proud in his heart, feeling that his father used to show off in front of him, but now, he finally had the opportunity to show off in front of him.
When the white-bearded old village chief's doubtful eyes were about to turn into impatience, his son finally said: "Dad! Today it is you who boasts in front of the clan elders meeting and guarantees that these outsiders have passed the exam. , who can become members of the village, we also advocate that houses be allocated to them.”
"Ke Guo, the houses were only allocated in the afternoon, and something happened in the evening, and such a big thing happened! It is estimated that many people died in the village tonight! Do you think it is possible for the people from the clan elders' association to... Will I put all this responsibility on you?"
"Hiss!" The white-bearded old village chief took a breath. He had just been thinking about those monsters and completely forgot about it.
Now, when his son said this, he realized that it was not possible, but it would definitely happen!
Then, combined with his son's previous words, an idea came into his mind and he said: "You mean, if, the clan elder will put the responsibility for tonight's incident on me."
"Then, I call that guy a traitor to those monsters and push this matter onto him?"
His son immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of my dad, he has a flexible mind, that's what I mean!"
"As long as you call him a traitor and make the people in the Elders' Association believe it, everyone's attention and anger will be focused on him."
"Wouldn't you be safe in this way? When the time comes, if you show off and say anything, you are also at fault, and you have made some oversights. You have already admitted your mistakes, and others will not step on you. From nose to face, I’m holding on to you and won’t let you go! You said that, right?”
"Okay, okay! This scapegoat is found with good reason! He deserves to be my son!" The white-bearded old village chief looked at his son and nodded.
The two looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as Wang Yu returned to the house where Lu Ziyi and others were, he never expected that a conspiracy against him was brewing during the conversation between a father and son.
He walked to the door of the house and knocked on the door only once. Before he knocked a second time, the door opened a crack on its own.
Seeing this, how could he not understand that when he just went out, he had closed the door, but the person inside did not bolt the door at all!
That’s why the door opens by itself as soon as you knock.
