Chapter 406 Blind
The Ji brothers were brought to their great uncle.
They all hung their heads and looked dejected, like bereaved dogs unable to lift their heads.
My uncle was a thin, dark-skinned old man. Although he was thin and dark-skinned, his eyes were full of brilliance.
Looking at the Ji brothers, he just glanced at them indifferently and then closed his eyes to rest.
The Ji brothers didn't even dare to move.
It was so quiet all around that there was not even the sound of people walking.
This quiet scene continued until the youngest of the Ji family couldn't stand it anymore and secretly pulled his second brother in front of him: "Second brother..."
Before he could start talking, his second brother slapped his hand away that was pulling at his clothes.
The second brother seemed to notice nothing and continued to install wood with his head down.
The youngest was helpless and could only pout in dissatisfaction.
"Youngest Ji, tell me what happened?"
At this moment, the uncle who had closed his eyes suddenly spoke, which frightened the youngest child of the Ji family.
He looked at his brothers hurriedly, but they were all looking at each other, and no one responded to him with their eyes. He felt a little flustered, and tried to suppress the discomfort in his heart as he stammered, "No, it's just, it's...what was it..." Looking at his brothers again, the youngest of the Ji family lowered his head.
He knew that his uncle was the scariest.
The uncle didn't seem to notice the Ji family's youngest son's timidity, and instead sneered.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the Ji brothers: "The youngest one refuses to speak? Who among you can fill in the gap?"
Uncle's words made everyone hold their breath.
Finally, the eldest son of the Ji family stood up. He put on a flattering smile and said, "Uncle, this is what happened... The third son went out before and accidentally found a woman. He took some effort to bring her back. Unexpectedly, the woman actually injured us last night and ran away. Until now, she has not been found..."
"Tsk!~~"
My uncle suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter became louder and louder, until he lost his breath and started coughing violently.
The more he coughed, the more embarrassed the Ji brothers became. All the men's faces turned red, but they couldn't say a word to refute him.
The uncle waited until he had caught his breath, then he rushed over to the tribesmen who were waiting for him, waved his hands and said, "Aren't you all very capable? You were collectively tricked by a woman. She knocked down all five of you Ji brothers. What does this prove?"
“…”
None of the brothers dared to speak.
The uncle continued to talk without thinking about himself: "It shows that the five brothers of the Ji family are useless, and it shows that the woman is very special! It is better to get rid of this kind of woman once and for all than to let her stay and become a nuisance..."
A gleam of light flashed in his rat eyes, and he pressed his hand down hard, making a chopping motion.
But the five brothers of the Ji family were scared.
"Uncle, uncle... this, this... it shouldn't be that serious, right? That woman is so delicate and pretty. Even if we don't keep such a good thing, we can exchange it for a lot of good things if we take it out..."
"Hmph! The more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is."
The uncle snorted heavily: "Boss Ji, you have been through a lot in your early years, you tell me about it!~~"
Although the uncle said this lightly, Boss Ji heard it and got angry.
In their village, no one dared to challenge the authority of their uncle.
As soon as Boss Ji realized this, his legs felt weaker and his jaw began to tremble as he spoke: "Uncle, Uncle... No, it's not that we don't want to, it's that woman, she...she's gone!"
He closed his eyes, thinking that he might as well die, and finally shouted out these words.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The Ji brothers didn't even dare to breathe, and they all lowered their heads lower and lower. They looked as if they wanted to bury their heads in their stomachs.
I am dying! I am dying! How could my brother tell this to others?
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…
My uncle was silent.
After a long while, he finally laughed out loud in front of everyone's pale faces: "Why are you willing to tell me now? I thought you were going to keep it a secret from me for the rest of your life!"
"No, I don't dare..."
Boss Ji swallowed hard, mustered up his courage, slowly knelt on the ground, snaked forward and hammered his uncle's leg: "Uncle, this is really an accident... As long as you help us find the person back, you will have the final say on how to deal with that woman!"
"You're the one who said that!~"
The uncle cursed with a smile, then continued to close his eyes and rest.
The Ji brothers were all dumbfounded. What did their uncle mean by this?
The most difficult one was Ji Lao Da. He was beating his legs, and he didn't dare to stop until his uncle called for it to stop. He just dared to beat them slowly with even force, not even daring to breathe.
The room was very quiet for a while, with only the slight movement of Boss Ji pounding his legs.
This hammering lasted for about twenty minutes. As the sky outside gradually brightened, Ji Lao Da's arms were sore and his uncle also started to snore heavily, but he still didn't stop.
Just when Boss Ji was thinking about whether to give up, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house. Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle, I have something to report."
"Come in."
The uncle finally woke up. When the person who knocked on the door came in, he seemed to see Boss Ji. He waved his hand to let him leave, and then waited for the person who came in to report to whisper in his ear.
Boss Ji pricked up his ears and wanted to listen to what the visitor was reporting, but unfortunately, the other party's voice was too soft and he could not hear it at all.
But soon, he knew what the other party was talking about.
The uncle's relaxed expression suddenly disappeared, and he stood up straight. His words became more stern: "Are you serious? Who is responsible for this?"
Because the person had his back to them, Boss Ji couldn't see what the other person said, but his uncle's expression became increasingly ugly.
Soon, my uncle threw back the quilt and stood up.
Start pacing around the room.
His eyes frequently turned to the Ji brothers.
After a long while, he waved his hand to let the person leave, and his eyes fell on Boss Ji again: "You said before, how did that woman escape?"
"In fact, it is ..."
"Tell the truth!"
“…”
Ji swallowed his saliva, no longer daring to make up stories, and quickly told the story. This time, what he said was almost all true. Of course, he also deliberately embellished many places. However, he had no idea that his little trick was like a lying kid in the eyes of his uncle.
But the other party was very patient and did not interrupt him. Instead, he let him continue talking.
Soon, I understood the whole story.
The uncle was also a little surprised. There were many things he couldn't understand. For example, he knew the abilities of the Ji brothers. But now he was tricked by a woman. If he told others about it, no one would believe it.
