Time flies, and soon it is mid-January.
The cold winter gradually passed, but the family did not feel much.
"Chief, in a few days, the blood rice can be harvested!"
"Okay, let the tribesmen keep a close watch on him from now on."
In the ancestral hall, Chen Xingzhen, who was praying to the sacred tree, gave instructions immediately after hearing the news.
After finishing his prayer, Chen Xingzhen turned his gaze towards the family sacred tree.
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but after the grand sacrifice, the sacred tree seemed to be in better condition.
Even in the daytime, the locust leaves seemed to be shrouded in light, but the sunlight was too strong and he could not see clearly.
However, the increasingly huge body of the sacred tree cannot be faked.
The original ancestral hall was quite spacious, with enough space to accommodate dozens of clansmen. However, if things continued like this, it would be time to put the expansion of the ancestral hall on the agenda.
The family side also needs to be renovated.
Since we are near the mass grave mountain, we don't have to worry about these materials. Besides, I heard from my tribesmen that there seems to be a unique way of building walls in Yong'an City, and I can let my tribesmen learn from them when the time comes.
Chen Xingzhen withdrew his gaze and walked towards the family’s fertile fields again.
These few days are particularly critical. It is estimated that after the blood rice is harvested, the people from the Zhou family will also be here.
…
"Brother, everything has been normal these days, with no obvious changes. However, the people of the Chen family have been going to the fertile fields more frequently. I guess they are still looking for the antidote."
Listening to the report from the tribesmen, Shi Pojing nodded slightly.
According to previous schedules, the Zhou family's Wind-Chasing Falcon would probably set off in these few days.
"What about the people sent out by the Chen family? Did they find any clues?"
"Brother Hui, those people returned to the tribe yesterday. With the family's control, they gained nothing. They didn't even know the name of the poison."
"good."
Shi Po was shocked and then showed a smug look on his face.
The Chen family was so naive that they actually tried to find an antidote in Yong'an City.
But when this thought arose, a hint of doubt appeared on Shi Pojing's face.
Although the family acted in secret, if the Chen family were not stupid, they would be able to guess that it was the Shi family who did it, but there was no direct evidence.
But since he knew it was his family's doing, why did he still come to Yong'an City to look for an antidote? Didn't he know that most of the markets in Yong'an City were controlled by his Shi family?
Moreover, it has been almost a month, and the Chen family has not given up on growing blood rice, nor has they taken any new actions. Even the clan members in Yong'an City have withdrawn.
The more Shi Pojing thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. There must be a reason that he didn't know about.
After thinking for a long time, Shi Pojing felt more and more uneasy.
No, this plan must not fail. He needs to go and see the Chen family's situation in person while the Zhou family has not yet arrived. Even if there are mistakes, they can still be remedied.
Thinking of this, Shi Pojing immediately gathered his clansmen and headed towards the mass grave mountain.
…
But when Shi Pojing and his group arrived at the mass grave mountain, it was three days later.
When Shi Pojing saw the Chen family members harvesting the blood rice, his face was as gloomy as water.
Before setting off, he had already prepared for the worst case scenario, which was that the Chen family had somehow removed the poison from Matchmaker.
In this way, the actions of the Chen family seem reasonable.
But there are still a few days before the Zhou family arrives, so he can still implement a new plan.
But after all his calculations, he forgot to calculate the distance between Yong'an City and the Mass Burial Hill. Even though the group was traveling at a very fast speed, it still took them three days to get there.
But they were still a step too late, the Chen family had already started harvesting the blood rice.
On the side, Shi Chengyu and another elder were also stunned:
"That shouldn't be the case. When I investigated that day, I clearly saw that the blood rice in the fertile fields had been completely removed."
“Indeed, I saw this with my own eyes.”
"But now that I think about it, the fertile fields I saw at that time were separated by walls, and the scope of the fields was not very large."
After listening to what the two elders said, Shi Pojing suddenly understood.
It seems that they fell into the trap!
"Brother, why don't we rush over now and destroy all this blood rice!"
A tribe member on the side suggested.
"Humph, if we kill them now, won't that tell everyone that this was done by our Shi family?"
"So what should we do?"
Shi Po was silent for a moment, his face stern:
"Kill them at night!"
"Before anyone from the Zhou family arrives, this crop of blood rice must be destroyed!"
"But brother, we are so blatant, what if the Chen family tells the Zhou family?"
"Haha, big families always focus on the results. Who cares about the process in between? Without the blood rice, even if the Chen family has a million reasons, they are not an excuse for losing the blood rice!"
"Only by destroying this crop of blood rice can the family take action against the Chen family and obtain the earth-level combat skills. This matter must not be lost."
"Elder Chengyu, Elder Chenghou, I'm going to trouble you two tonight."
Shi Pojing spoke to the two of them respectfully.
"Alas, we were too careless in this matter. We didn't have time to take a closer look at it."
"The Chen family is too cunning. It has nothing to do with the two elders. With the strength of the two elders, if they go out together, no one in the Chen family can stop them. The two elders don't need to care about the warriors in their family. They just need to find the place where the blood rice is stored and throw this thing in."
After saying that, Shi Pojing took out another object in his hand.
It was a flying insect with a fiery red armor all over its body, but at this moment it was motionless, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
The two elders were slightly surprised when they saw this and said:
