The fourth, fifth, and ninth brothers stared at the little figure before them with great curiosity...
They've only been apart for half a day, how come the younger sister's personality has changed so much?
It seems she's getting a little temperamental and can be quite affectionate...
Perhaps, this is the true nature being revealed?
The little girl Wen Shishi was barely held in his arms before her tenth brother snatched her away and handed her back to her second brother.
The tenth brother chuckled and joked with his three older brothers, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, ninth brother, get used to it. This one is our real little sister now..."
The fourth brother, Song Chengliang, chuckled, "What? Wasn't that our sister the other day?"
Song Chengxin laughed, "Back then, we weren't familiar with each other, so we hid our true selves..."
This one will definitely surprise you!
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone slashed him on the head.
Looking up, he saw Lao Jiu rushing over and giving him a slap.
"What's wrong with you? You have no manners! You don't even greet your ninth brother, but you know to greet the other brothers..."
"You won't do that with me? What? You think I'm kind-hearted and won't hit you?!"
Song Chengxin broke free from Song Chengyuan's arm, hid behind his elder brother, and protested, "Someone needs to call me brother."
You have to act like your brother too!
The group playfully bickered, instantly enlivening the beach.
Seeing many strangers, the three stopped, told their brothers that they were safe, and greeted the abbot and monks.
Song Chenghou sat patiently to the side, listening to their story, while they went out to find a place to hide...
As we walked to the other side of the mountain, we encountered a typhoon...
Even with the mountain providing cover, there were still many fallen rocks and trees, and with the torrential rain, there was nowhere to take shelter...
Finally, behind Limu Mountain, they found a cave that no one had ever set foot in...
They waited in the cave until the storm subsided, then hurried back...
Limu Mountain?
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
Song Chengjian's face was particularly grim.
It seems that this is truly the only way.
Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian looked at the abbot and asked, "Abbot, may we send someone up the mountain to negotiate and request temporary refuge?"
"Once the rain stops, we'll leave immediately and won't disturb a single tree or blade of grass on the mountain..."
At this moment, not only the abbot shook his head, but Jiang Xinyu did too.
Although it was his first time visiting Hainan Island, he had heard far too many stories about what happened on the island.
Mostly bloody and full of struggle.
The abbot said, "Even though we saved one of their villagers who had fallen, the Li people repay us by sending herbs every year..."
But they also told us not to go up the mountain.
This humble monk believes that it's not that they are unwilling, but rather that they are deliberately making things difficult for each other...
Rather, there is some obstacle preventing us from climbing the mountain.
Perhaps, going up the mountain means danger for us, and even those who deliver medicine cannot protect us from danger...
As soon as the abbot finished speaking, Jiang Xinyu added, "My father told me that none of the outsiders who rashly entered the mountain ever came down..."
We also had servants who, out of curiosity, broke away from the group when disembarking and disappeared after going up the mountain...
The father sent a familiar man as an intermediary to help mediate, which cost a lot of money and resources, but in the end all he got was a corpse…”
Seeing that this man was talking to his second brother, and that his eldest and second brothers seemed perfectly normal, the fourth brother clasped his hands in a fist salute and asked Jiang Xinyu, "I heard it, but they didn't come down..."
Or is it true that none of the outsiders who went up there ever came down?!
Jiang Xinyu returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, and solemnly said, "According to all the information we've gathered, it's an outsider, and he hasn't come down..."
Previously, when the imperial army attacked Limu Mountain, all those who entered the mountain, besides the corpses left behind...
Several others, including generals, are still missing...
Everyone present turned pale.
However, reality did not give them much time to hesitate.
Just as everyone was feeling heavy-hearted about the information revealed by Jiang Xinyu...
A muffled clap of thunder struck the sky, hitting people's hearts hard.
There seemed to be air currents in the air again. This time, the monks were much more alert and repeatedly reminded the abbot:
"Abbot, it's thundering! It's going to rain heavily!"
"Abbot, it seems the wind is picking up again. Could the typhoon be coming back?"
......
There was a barely perceptible panic in his voice.
If it's just getting caught in the rain, the risk is much smaller compared to angering the local inhabitants...
If a typhoon makes landfall again, even tall trees can be uprooted, let alone them, who have no shelter at all.
Thus, the decision was made in an instant.
The abbot discussed the matter with the brothers Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian, and both sides reached a consensus.
Moreover, the abbot lives at the foot of Limu Mountain and has lived in peace with the Li people for many years...
Even if they hide in a cave, and are actually captured by the Shengli and taken up the mountain, there is still room for negotiation.
The abbot explained his plan to Jiang Xinyu, who clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "We've been dragged down by the abbot and the young master of the Song family's arrangements..."
The eldest brother, Song Chenghou, briefly recounted what had happened after the three left to the fourth, fifth, and ninth brothers...
Then, on behalf of Jiang Xinyu, Jiang Xinyu formally greeted the three men.
The manager and his subordinates quickly returned. Since they planned to hide in the cave, they certainly couldn't take the fishing boats with them...
With the abbot's consent, Jiang Xinyu instructed his steward to arrange for the five fishing boats to be towed into the temple ruins for storage...
