Chapter 254 Suspicion
Li Yuan took the order and went to work immediately. He signaled to Xiao Xun. After all, Xiao Xun was also a member of the patrol team. Now it was time to get started.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xun acted as if he didn't see him and was only focused on protecting Ye Li.
There was no other way, Li Yuan had to go alone.
Everyone gathered in the square, including Ye Li.
When everyone saw Ye Li's family bringing a wolfhound, they all looked at them in surprise. However, after the tribesmen who had been watching told those who didn't know about it, everyone looked relieved. If you have the ability in the end times, what can't you do?
In the square, everyone was talking in low voices. Although there was some noise, it was not too loud.
Not long after, Li Yuan returned with a group of people. His men came over with two bags and threw them in front of the people in the square. The lime inside immediately spilled out.
Li Yuan walked to the side of the Great Elder and said a few words in his ear with a serious expression.
The Great Elder's face was filled with shock. He looked towards the square in disbelief, his eyes falling on Ye Li.
Everyone noticed the Great Elder's gaze on Ye Li, and they all looked at her, wondering if she was responsible for destroying the rice fields. Hadn't she helped plant those rice fields? How could she have done such a thing?
The Great Elder stood up with a serious expression and walked towards Ye Li step by step. At this time, the square was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
The elder asked Ye Li, "Ye Li, today, in front of everyone, I have asked you about this matter. Li Yuan found two large bags of lime in the kitchen and bedroom of your tree house. What exactly is going on? Did you really spread the lime in the rice fields and deliberately destroy the rice?"
"How could it be me? What am I trying to achieve by doing this?" Ye Li felt extremely wronged. How could she possibly do such a thing? She wished she could stay in the forest tribe, work on agriculture, make a better life, and live a more comfortable life for herself and her two children.
"But the lime was found in your house," said the elder.
"If it wasn't found at Ye Li's house, then it must be Ye Li's." Xiao Xun stood in front of Ye Li and said, "Couldn't it be possible that someone else framed it? After all, Great Elder, you also know how important Ye Li is to the entire Forest Tribe."
"That's true." After Xiao Xun's reminder, the Great Elder immediately came to his senses and decided that it would be better to handle this matter with caution. If Ye Li hadn't done it, she would be angry about being wronged. If she left the Forest Tribe, the Forest Tribe would be the ones to suffer the loss.
"She has a wolfhound at home. Who dares to go in and frame her?" Song Lu jumped in again and said, "I was just passing by and got bitten. If anyone goes into the house, they will be bitten to death by the wolfhound."
Ye Li immediately retorted, "Winnie would never bite anyone randomly. Since your brother was bitten, he might have done something bad."
"How dare you! Stop slandering others!" The Second Elder rushed out and said, "You previously raised the Hilltop Tribe's wolfhounds, and now you've destroyed the rice. It seems you have a ruthless heart. I'm afraid you're a spy sent by the Hilltop Tribe to our Hilltop Tribe."
"I'm not!" Ye Li shouted loudly, "I'm not a spy. Even if I were a spy, why would I bring two children here? If I were caught, wouldn't I harm them?"
"But what if you brought them along on purpose to lower our guard against you and allow you to seize the opportunity?" The Second Elder rebuked him harshly, "That's right. You were the one who rescued the people from the Hilltop Tribe who were captured. Ever since you came to the Forest Tribe, have we ever had a single day of peace? You are a traitor—ah..."
Before the Second Elder could finish his words, Xiao Xun kicked him to the ground, and he fell hard on his back. With a crack, he felt like his waist was about to break.
