The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 406 Young Town (XIV)

After receiving Lin Shu's answer, the mayor shook his clothes and straightened his body when he turned to face the townspeople, and naturally raised his posture.

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly to the whispering crowd below, "Everyone be quiet!"

When everyone heard him speak out suddenly, they all held their breath.

In front of the dilapidated ancestral house, thousands of people stood in a dark mass, and suddenly became silent.

The fiery red sunset in the sky was sucking blood from the sun, and the rays of light in the clouds gradually dimmed.

"I called the big guy here today because I have something important to tell everyone.

We all know that for many years, our town has always paid tribute to the ancestral home.

In the past, everyone thought that the people who paid tribute were taken away by their ancestors and went to enjoy the blessings in the underground world. By the way, they could also bless our descendants on the ground together in the underground...

But have you ever thought about it, what if the person enshrined in the ancestral house is not actually the ancestor?

So it is not our ancestors who took away our parents and grandparents at night? "

As soon as the mayor's words came out, it could be said that one stone caused a thousand waves.

The townspeople below looked at each other for a while, and then they started making noises.

A middle-aged man with some deafness turned his head to look at an acquaintance beside him.

"Lao Li, did you hear clearly what the mayor said just now? Did he say that the ancestors in the ancestral house were not our ancestors? Then the grandparents and grandparents who have passed away all these years were taken away by someone. ?”

"I heard that too. That's what the mayor said. But isn't the ancestral house his old house? Didn't the mayor Zhang say that it is the direct descendant of the ancestor's line? The ancestral house has been going on for hundreds of years It was done by members of their Zhang family before, how could they suddenly refuse to admit it now?!"

As soon as Lao Li on this end finished speaking, someone else on the other end immediately picked up the conversation.

"That's right! What's the matter with the mayor of Lao Zhang's family? Why did he suddenly talk about everyone like this? If he doesn't want to recognize the ancestor, that's his own business, don't get involved with us! "

"That's right, the one surnamed Zhang doesn't want to worship his ancestors anymore, so don't get involved with us!"

Most of the townspeople below quickly reached a consensus, that is, they did not agree with what the mayor had just said.

Compared to not recognizing the status of the ancestral house, they prefer to believe that their grandparents, grandparents, and mothers willingly paid tribute to the ancestral house for the sake of the children and grandchildren, and it is the ancestors who come to accept people.

Once people accept certain norms and get used to them, they will automatically become defenders of these norms, and even develop a sense of identification with them.

It's like the people before a certain dynasty didn't wear big braids, but in a certain dynasty with a guillotine in one hand and a writing prison in one hand, they have educated the people for a hundred years, and everyone obediently keeps their braids.

When a certain dynasty is declining and the building is about to collapse, I don’t know how many people cry and say that they can’t cut their braids, because after the scissors, what will be broken is not the hair, but the roots passed down by the ancestors. Their ancestors didn't have braids either.

People in Stone Town don't know this.

But this does not prevent them from opposing the mayor for the ancestral house, after all, the latter's authority is given by the ancestral house.

It's like the first person who agreed with his parents to pay tribute. He was reluctant at first, but after it became a rule, every household didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing it.

At this time, the mayor standing on the threshold outside the ancestral house calmly took into account the reactions of the townspeople.

He heard what these people whispered and shouted deliberately.

It's normal for them to think this way. After all, even when he himself learned the truth about the ancestral house from the former head of the Zhang family, he felt that what he had believed in for more than ten years had collapsed like this.

If it weren't for his own father who told him about it, he might have destroyed the body of the person who said there was a problem with the ancestral house.It was also because the incident at the beginning had a great impact on him, so he has been living a life of extravagance and debauchery for more than ten years, and it is right that he has been paralyzed by himself.

Ordinary people may pass the rest of their lives like this.

But he saw the unhealthy changes in the children of the family, all the children regarded their parents as enemies, and wished to send them old bones to pay tribute, and then he knew that he could no longer pretend to be confused.

For the matter of the ancestral house, someone must come out to end the problem.

Otherwise, the hearts of future generations will only get worse and worse.

At that time, not to mention becoming a talent, even a human being will not be able to live like a human being.

He couldn't have done it by himself.

Because he only knows that there is a problem in the ancestral house, but he doesn't know where the root of the problem is and how to solve it.

But God still has eyes, and sent a little "ancestor" to him to give him advice.

This also pointed the way for him.

Seeing that the people below became more and more excited, they almost challenged him face to face.

The mayor clenched his fist by his mouth and coughed heavily.

His old prestige was still there after all. After hearing his cough, everyone discussed for a while before stopping, waiting to hear what he would say next.

However, the townspeople could not have expected that the words the mayor said next would be the things that would truly shock and subvert their entire cognition.

Lin Shu, who was always standing motionless behind the mayor, calmly looked at the many townspeople in front of her, as if she had foreseen what would happen next.

-

This world is coming to an end soon, and the new world after that will be brighter and slower.

The stories I have written all the time seem to be a bit heavy or brain-burning, which does not suit the tastes of readers who love to read cool articles.

The author himself has repeatedly asked himself, can you write some commercial novels?

In this way, readers are happy to watch, and authors are also happy to earn some manuscript fees!

But after thinking about it myself, I still can't let you all have a good time and it's over. In that case, it's really "finished" after you have a good time.

Although Zhixi is very happy, one cannot always be Zhixi.

In addition, I don't want to force myself to write things I don't want to write, so the style of writing in this book may generally be kept simple and refined, and the rhythm of the story will be prioritized.

Although I know that I am stupid and naive to do this, I still hope that I can persist in writing more stories.

That's all for now, the author really doesn't want to ask everyone to count votes and support because of lack of motivation and readers' encouragement (after all, I'm sorry to bother you when there is no recommendation).

If any of you want to give the author a little support and encouragement, then...then I will accept them all (*shy face*)!
