"Father, they are from the Great Yin Dynasty. They originally planned to take shelter from the typhoon in a cave at the foot of the mountain..."
They were discovered by Lin Sen and his men, and taken up the mountain together.
The woman's identity seems quite clear.
Judging from the middle-aged man's demeanor and authority, it is not difficult to tell that he should be the chief of the Shengli tribe.
The woman he was talking to, whom the locals called "Miss," was probably his eldest daughter.
When Lin Sen heard the young lady say this, he looked up but didn't say a word.
"Oh? Is that so?"
The clan chief, exuding authority without anger, looked at Lin Sen and said, "Lin Sen, you've worked hard!"
Lin Sen had abandoned his imposing manner from the foot of the mountain and was now much more humble.
When the clan chief spoke, they simply lowered their heads.
As for his original plan to kill these outsiders, since the young lady didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't bring it up himself.
As the clan leader turned to walk towards his seat, the young lady stepped forward and explained, "Father, the abbot from the foot of the mountain is here..."
Many of them were his disciples. According to the abbot, the temple at the foot of the mountain was destroyed by the typhoon, and they wanted to seek refuge in a cave...
Hearing his daughter say this, the clan chief turned around and walked to the abbot.
His expression softened somewhat, but his eyebrows were still raised.
His gaze swept over the others, one by one, his sharp eyes like those of a wary beast, making everyone present tense.
"Are you the abbot from the foot of the mountain who saved us when we fell down?"
The abbot, neither humble nor arrogant, nodded slightly and said kindly, "It was nothing, thank you for the medicine from the mountain..."
It alleviated the illnesses and suffering of the disciples and many fishermen..."
The clan chief nodded slightly, and just as he turned around and sat down, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
A short, stocky middle-aged man led several people in, walking in aggressively.
"Brother, these people can't be allowed to live!"
The one speaking was Sheng Li, the deputy clan chief, and Lin Sen's father.
The meeting room couldn't accommodate so many people. Sheng Li, who had come in with Lin Sen earlier, seeing Lin Sen's expression, herded the rest of the surrounded people under the eaves of the thatched hut and kept them under strict guard...
Only the Song brothers, the abbot and adult monks, Jiang Xinyu and the steward, the servant and two guards remained, standing in the center of the room.
Before the clan chief could speak, the deputy clan chief added, "The people of Da Yin are the most cunning..."
Leaving them alive will surely cause future trouble.
This typhoon caused us heavy losses. Even if we don't kill them, we can't let them go down the mountain. We should keep them as slaves to work for us!
The monks reacted calmly, but the Song family members clenched their teeth and fists upon hearing this.
The clan chief sat upright, his expression indifferent, looking at the imperious deputy leader. After he finished speaking, he asked unhurriedly, "Are you done?"
As soon as he said that, the deputy team leader realized he had overstepped his bounds. Feeling guilty, he couldn't show his weakness. "Brother, I'm doing this for the good of our village!"
A crowd gradually gathered outside the thatched hut.
Wearing a raincoat, he glared hatefully at the strangers under the eaves.
After a while, the crowd was pushed aside from behind, and a burly young man burst in.
Look at the young monks who were surrounded and broke into the thatched hut.
Before entering, announce at the door, "Clan Chief!"
The one speaking was Li Sheng, a Li man who had been injured and fell from the mountain, and who had been rescued by the abbot.
"Come in!"
Upon hearing his voice, the village chief gave the order.
"yes!"
Upon entering, Li Sheng spotted the abbot among the unfamiliar faces and bowed respectfully to him.
Lin Sen, who was standing to the side, saw this and slightly curled the corner of his lips.
The deputy team leader also looked disdainful when he saw it.
"Reporting to the clan chief, I heard from the villagers that the abbot and monks were taken up the mountain..."
"What wrong have they committed? Could you, Chieftain, please consider their past act of kindness in helping me?"
As soon as Li Sheng finished speaking, Lin Sen smiled contemptuously, "You're trading your personal reputation for the safety of so many people..."
"Li Sheng, you're not that important!"
"you!"
Li Sheng blushed, but did not immediately lash out in front of the clan chief.
He cupped his hands in a fist salute and looked at the clan leader, saying, "The abbot saved my life, and I cannot abandon him."
But how to handle it is up to the clan chief.
A few words exchanged with Lin Sen and his son create a stark contrast.
The Song brothers exchanged glances.
From being surrounded in front of the cave to this moment, it's only been a few rounds, but it's pretty clear...
Even the fearsome Shengli are not invincible.
On the contrary, there are many internal conflicts, which are obvious to outsiders like them, even on their first day on the mountain.
The deputy clan chief glared at Lin Sen, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the clan chief, saying, "Lin Sen spoke rashly, but it was for the safety of the clan members..."
Please don't take offense, brother.
But the older brother remained vigilant towards these people...
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
After listening to him, the clan chief finally spoke, "There are rumors outside that we, the Shengli Ru, eat blood and flesh, probably because of these indiscriminate killings of innocent people..."
Things are different now. Our Li people are decreasing in number, while the number of people on the island is increasing...
In a real fight, we may not always be able to maintain the advantage.
Moreover, these people entered the mountains not with malicious intent...
Upon hearing the clan chief's words, the deputy leader immediately became anxious, "Brother! They are cunning and treacherous; we cannot trust them easily!"
These words were clearly a slap in the face to the young lady who had initially been introduced to the family.
The Song family looked over and found that this young lady was very composed.
