Absurd accusations

"I am very confident, I, Ge Wuan, am very willing and humbly request that the elders give me permission to explain everything to everyone."

As Uncle Ge Wuan pleaded, he bent his body in a gesture of deep respect, his face full of wisdom as he cupped his hands towards the elders in front of everyone.

In his heart right now, there were only two wishes left, these two wishes were once-in-a-lifetime wishes, and Uncle Ge Wuan had personally promised himself to fulfill them.

"Alright, please continue your reasoning, we will decide on the final result, if it is not strong enough, then Cang Yan's status will become a disgraced person, and he can only stay in his house for the rest of her life."

Grandpa Ming Qi said, in his mind he was now very confident that Ge Wuan would be able to take care of Cang Yan.

But this is not just a simple problem, all of them, here are adults who are discussing the survival of the rest of the adult, they have been living together and in line with the customary norms of the Wu tribe for generations, so of course to discuss this problem, it is necessary to use the norms and must be based on the ancestral rules that have been in place for a long time.

To not follow or even to oppose would be to dishonor the legacy and contributions of the ancestors, even if it was at the level of the meeting hall elders, dishonor is dishonor and sacrilege is sacrilege, both are bad behavior, those elders would be scorned and replaced by candidates deemed worthy.

"Thank you elders, I'll explain everything before the sun goes down, so first of all, a long time ago, during the training for the hunting lodge section, Ao Qi, and the rest of the family must know Cang Yan and I were once a team, but I'll explain again to the rest of the family, At that time Cang Yan and I were exploring the northwest of the second layer of the forest, an incident happened to me, I fell into an unknown hole, I was trapped without being able to get out, as a child I didn't know what kind of hole it was, the hole was bigger than my body size at that time, maybe if the current me guessed that it was the legendary golden centipede saw hole...."

"Liar! Liar!, do you think I Zhou Huan will be fooled? That animal has long been wiped out by the ancestors, your bullshit story is lame, hey Ming Qi and all of you don't want to be fooled, you know what? almost every night, this person always goes up the mountain there alone, I've seen it myself, I suspect this person is doing bad things there"

Grandpa Zhou suddenly cut off Ge Wuan's sentence haughtily, his furious face was very clear from him, I don't know what he was thinking now that he dared to interrupt.

"Calm down Zhou Huan, don't make incoherent sentences, don't also make unfounded and one-sided accusations, keep your voice low, there are children around who are watching us."

Ming Qi's grandfather said, the expressions of the other meeting hall elders were immediately serious in response to Zhou Huan's harsh response, all of them here knew that Zhou Huan's grandfather was troubled and easily angered, especially in that tendentious and sentimental person, but his words this time really threatened his name.

"You think I'm one-sided, you think I'm stupid? I am indeed grumpy and very aware of being disliked by all of you, no no, more precisely very much disliked, if you doubt my statement, you just ask Lin Xiong's son-in-law."

Zhou Huan's grandfather said pointing to Lin Xiong who was sitting on the edge, next to Shang Wei's grandmother.

Zhou Huan's grandfather who was originally surrounded by aunts and uncles, as well as Wu Liang and Ao Nan, now all of them moved away from Zhou's grandfather.

Grandpa Zhou's wrinkled and shabby old face was not pleasing to the eye, plus his troubled, angry, and resentful expression added to the bad impression of him right now, but strangely he himself stood casually as if no trouble was about to happen to him.

"Grandpa Zhou, if you are rude once again, then I will never allow you to meet Zhang and Zheng again, even if my own son asks me to bring them to you, I will not tolerate your behavior grandpa!"

Uncle Bei Shen said, all this time he had been silent and motionless as if nothing was wrong, but deep down, like almost every Wu tribe, they disliked Grandfather Zhou.

Everyone fell silent, and whispered softly to each other about the incident just now.

"Hey Wu Liang, what do you think makes that old man so sure and confident? Even insulting uncle Ge Wuan"

"I don't know, you are?, I just got out not long ago from the health center, how can I know the latest news?"

"Hey you, while you were sleeping, not many things happened, so I asked you that to know just a theory from you, ah never mind, who do you think is right? Uncle Ge Wuan or grandpa Zhou, you also know grandpa Zhou doesn't like uncle Ge Wuan, let's bet 1 loaf hehehe"

"Okay, and the loser will be considered a liar for one week."

Wu Liang and Ao Nan whispered, at the edge of the crowd, while Shan Yu, Wu Liang's older sister just glanced at the two of them and shook her head.

("Huh, you guys, even in this situation, you had time to bet.")

Shan Yu thought complainingly.

"Zhou Huan, we have been patient with you until today, and we hall elders are also aware of our mistakes that made you this way, but your words this time have crossed the reasonable limit of tolerance, you better tell your story well, otherwise even though you are old, we hall elders will take you to the underground confinement cave, so that you are deterred and reflect on the current actions"

Lin Xiong's grandfather clearly did not accept that his son-in-law, who is the husband of his only daughter, was linked to his personal problems, especially since the accusations from Grandfather Zhou had absolutely nothing to do with Ge Wuan's statement that was just about to be delivered.

The elders of the meeting hall were clearly annoyed by grandfather Zhou's absurd behavior, usually it was not this severe, just a nuisance that did not have a big impact.

"I Zhou Huan, suspect that Ge Wuan has conspired with the mountain demon, you know that conspiring with such creatures is strictly prohibited"

Grandpa Zhou said loudly and very confidently, it was a sickening situation for the hall elders to have to face this person who could already be considered crazy.

The rest of the family was silent, but clearly their faces were holding back their respective expressions, holding back their laughter, feeling astonished, and disgusted by this odd behavior grandfather Zhou was displaying.

"Gosh, Wu Zhou Huan, what you're saying is mere conjecture, how can you use that rubbish excuse to interrupt Ge Wuan?"

Shang Wei's grandmother said with annoyance, she was definitely the most annoyed among the 4 elders of the meeting hall, not only because she had to catch up with the time to remake the spare clothes, she also had to attend a meaningless meeting like this.

Shang Wei's grandmother thought.

"Allegedly, where do you think Ning's branch family is now? Huh? Do you realize they haven't been around since morning, and Lin Wen and I happened to see that Ge Wuan going to the Ning family's workplace for a long time last night and coming back for a long time too?"

Grandpa Zhou's voice was harshly accusatory towards Uncle Ge Wuan, however, for the elders of the meeting hall, this is just a hoax, they also actually don't know where the Ning branch family is.

The momentary silence was as piercing as the blades of wind that pierced all of their bodies, but in an instant everyone was whispering again.

Likewise with the elders of the meeting hall, they were discussing in hushed voices about this puzzling problem.

"Ao Nan, what do you think about that old man's statement?"

"I'm not sure about something, it's better we wait for the sequel, I'm getting impatient who will win this bet, whether it's me with that grandfather Zhou or you with uncle Ge Wuan"

"Oh my, whose side are you on?"

"Of course on uncle Ge Wuan's side, what else? I was just do my part the role, just do my part the role, keep it well"

Ao Nan clearly could only do his role as the one who held the bet to grandfather Zhou, even though they only bet trivial things, but this was still exciting for them.

But in the chaotic atmosphere, Ming Qi's grandfather patted his chair, and made a new statement.

"Alright calm down, calm down everyone, the matter this time is indeed strange and heartbreaking and before proceeding to the point of resolution, I would like to express my condolences to the great and brave men of the hunting lodge because of a very detrimental incident, therefore we as village officials would like to correct it, well in order to make the course of our general discussion this afternoon go well, we will ask clearly, does grandfather Zhou want to continue his sentence, or let Ge Wuan finish the story first."

Everyone fell silent after that.

A cynical glance was cast at Ge Wuan by grandfather Zhou.

The hall elders also knew that Grandpa Zhou did not like Ge Wuan, but judging from his actions now, it could be said that it was not just a dislike anymore, but more towards the worse.
