My uncle looked at the person who was talking with a confused look on his face. He didn't know whether to eat the melon seeds that had just been put to his mouth or not. After being stunned for a while, he chose to finish eating the melon seeds first. After all, the melon seeds were already wet with saliva, so if he didn't eat them, they would become soft!
Besides, he was just eating some sunflower seeds. What was the big deal?
The man who was speaking frowned upon seeing this and turned away with a look of disgust. He thought: Sure enough, he is from a small place and really doesn't know the rules!
Another family leader seemed to recognize my great-uncle as one of the people who had entered the Dark Domain this time, so he deliberately asked, "I heard that you were also one of the participants in the Sucheng Dark Domain this time. I want to ask, how did you destroy the Dark Domain center this time? Can you tell us and give us some reference?"
"Ah? This?" Grandpa Uncle threw away the sunflower seed shells, clapped his hands and said, "I don't know! We entered the Dark Domain after it was destroyed. By then, the place had turned into a vast expanse of yellow sand!"
"In other words, you don't know who destroyed the core of the Dark Domain?" The person who spoke frowned, expressing great dissatisfaction.
"Maybe it was some big shot passing by, who saw it and saved humanity or something?" My uncle said this with his eyes open. Anyway, he really didn't know what had happened in the dark area before.
"I heard that the kid from your Li family was the first to enter the dark domain. I wonder if he can provide us with some information?" Seeing that he could not get any useful information from the uncle of the Xiao family, he turned his attention to the head of the Li family.
Clan leader Li Zhen straightened his back, coughed twice, and said sadly, "Although our boy was the first to enter the Dark Domain, he has been unconscious and hasn't woken up yet! If he wakes up, we will share the latest news with everyone as soon as possible."
After Patriarch Li finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to everyone present.
Then there was another round of rambling, and finally Commander Liu Changfeng set the requirements. The official guard team of Blue Star East City would take on the responsibility of finding the dark domain, but other families also had the responsibility to explore, discover and report the dark domain intelligence. In addition, the families had to cooperate with the official actions, including but not limited to: providing each family with research materials related to the revival of spiritual energy, each family regularly dispatching personnel to assist the guard team, and each family's children concentratedly training and studying.
The other families looked at each other and bargained for a long time before finally completing the discussion.
As soon as the meeting was over, my uncle said goodbye to the Li family and rushed back to Xiaojia Village. He didn't feel comfortable at all staying in the city. He felt more comfortable staying in the countryside!
At Dongcheng Hospital, Dr. Su gave the blood test report to Clan Leader Li Zhen and others for review.
"I extracted some special substances from Li Ming's blood. This substance has very strong energy and can attract mutant animals and drive them crazy."
Doctor Su continued, "Li Ming's body couldn't withstand the energy of this substance, coupled with the energy of the spirit core, so he fell into a coma. He will wake up once he consumes this energy."
Li Ya said, "According to Xiao Bai, it was because this spirit core fell out of Li Ming's package that the mutant animals rioted. In order to get rid of the rioting animals, she stuffed the spirit core into Li Ming's mouth."
"The package we gave to Li Ming did not contain a spirit core, so where did this spirit core come from? And where did this special substance come from?" Li Ya asked puzzledly. The things they brought to them at that time were all prepared by them.
"Could it be Li Wu?" Li Ya asked.
Li Wu was the one who entered the dark zone with them, and it was he who handed the package to Li Ming.
"The package has been handled by too many people, so it's hard to confirm. And there's also the spirit core, which is rare and not something most people can get. Furthermore, we know that spirit cores can cause riots in the Dark Realm. Plus, they have the ability to obtain this substance that attracts mutant animals. The person behind this is no ordinary person. It's very likely..."
Patriarch Li did not continue to speak in front of Dr. Su. After all, family disgrace should not be made public.
Clan leader Li Zhen nodded to Li Ya, who indicated she understood and left the room.
She had to send someone to keep an eye on Li Wu. Some things should not be coveted by people who showed greed, so they should be removed as soon as possible.
"Doctor Su, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Please see how to make this child wake up as soon as possible." Patriarch Li said with a smile.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for him. You guys take good care of him. He should wake up in a few days."
After my great uncle returned to Xiaojia Village, he told the village chief everything that happened in Dongcheng. The village chief sat at the door, puffing on his pipe while listening to my great uncle's report.
Logically speaking, a small village like theirs should not be involved in such matters, but just because the Dark Domain appeared for the first time, they got involved. Now they have come into the attention of the officials and the aristocratic families. Although they may not take their Xiaojia Village seriously, they can no longer keep a low profile like before.
"I need to think about this matter and make a decision." The village chief sent my uncle away, knocked his pipe on the stone block under his butt, stuck the pipe into his waist, and walked towards the back mountain with his crutches.
This guy, whenever he gets upset, he wants to smoke his pipe. There are more and more things happening recently, and I don’t know how long his old bones can last.
The sound of crutches tapping gradually disappeared in the village and went away towards the mountains.
Xiao Bai has been very free these past few days. After being home for so long, this kind of life is what she really wants! No need to get up early to exercise, no need to go to class, playing with cats and dogs when she's free, reading novels with Shu Ling when she's bored, and there's also the beautiful Murong An to admire. She's so happy! As for being nagged by her mother every day, that little thing is just a small matter, just let it go in one ear and out the other!
That day, Xiao Bai heard a noisy sound outside early in the morning. The quacking of a group of ducks came from afar, which woke her up from her sleep.
Xiao Bai looked at her phone. Wow, it was only half past five! Even chickens don't wake up that early. Her rooster doesn't crow until six!
"What's going on?! Why are there so many ducks!" She rolled over and climbed out of the bed, rushed to the window, pushed it open, and saw a group of ducks walking towards the river on the road outside her yard, with their legs spread out and their butts twisted, quacking and calling. Behind them was their martial arts teacher, Master Li.
Xiao Bai was about to shout out, "Who released the ducks so early? It's so noisy!" but the words were stuck in his mouth.
Oh my goodness, Master Li has quit his job? Is he switching careers to herding ducks?!
