Now that Chi Yu has divorced and returned home to live independently, she naturally has to go over when the copper bell rings.
Knowing the rules well, Chi Qiao nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
The ancestral hall in Chijia'ao is located at the entrance of Shangcun Village, not far from Chi Erxiong's house.
As Chi Yu put on his raincoat and straw hat and opened the door, he saw Chi Ye and Qin Mu coming towards him.
Chi Ye was worried that his aunt might go out, so he made a point of coming over to tell her when he passed by.
Seeing this, she asked, "Auntie, are you going to the ancestral hall?"
If that's the case, then there's no need to go. The main reason for this trip is to discuss Amu's charcoal collection.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu looked at Qin Mu and saw him nod slightly with a smile in his eyes.
"Alright then, I won't go. You guys carry on!"
With that, Chi Yu retreated back into the courtyard.
She doesn't like going out in the rain, especially when it's pouring.
Even if the drainage in Chijia'ao is very good and the road is paved with gravel, the rain is still too heavy, and even if you wear deerskin boots, you will inevitably get your feet wet.
Qin Mu and Chi Ye saw her go back and didn't linger, continuing their journey towards the village entrance.
By the time they approached the ancestral hall, a large crowd had already gathered there.
Chijia'ao is divided into Upper Village and Lower Village. For ease of management, the village chiefs of both villages are members of the Chi clan.
The upper village is under the jurisdiction of the second clan's ancestral home, and the lower village is under the jurisdiction of the third clan's ancestral home.
They were all placed under the jurisdiction of the patriarch of the Chi clan.
The head of the Chi clan is named Chi Dongyi, and he is sixty-three years old this year.
At his age, he is considered long-lived among the mountain people.
He and Chi Yu's father were of the same generation, but he was a few years older.
When the fish in the pond sees him, it has to call him "Uncle".
At this moment, he, the second clan elder, and the third clan elder were all gathered here, but they were standing on the steps at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Seeing Chi Ye, he waved: "A Ye, come over here with the Qin family's young master!"
Chi Ye subconsciously looked at Qin Mu, only to see him shake his head.
"A-Ye, you can go over there, I'll stay here."
Knowing his concerns, Chi Ye said, "There shouldn't be any problems. These past two days, whether at my house or my aunt's house, nothing has happened."
Qin Mu was well aware of his own "lethality" and never took chances, so he replied:
"Perhaps this is just an exception? You know, in the past, I would never get into trouble; it was always others who would."
"And those people on the steps are all quite elderly. Aren't you worried something might happen to them?"
Chi Ye didn't dare to gamble either. After hearing this, he remained silent for a moment and then walked alone towards the steps of the ancestral hall.
Just then, several people arrived.
Among them was a woman who, perhaps because there were too many people, insisted on walking right past Qin Mu instead of taking the proper path.
As he passed by him, he suddenly stumbled and fell face down to the ground.
With a scream of "Ah~", the crowd that had been discussing the matter turned to look in this direction.
The person on the ground looked up at the crowd, his face covered in blood, and two front teeth were sticking out of his mouth.
It turned out that she had fallen rather unluckyly; her front tooth hit a protruding pebble.
The impact was quite severe, knocking out her front tooth.
Everything happened so fast that everyone was a little overwhelmed.
Qin Mu was already quite far from everyone, and his position was also out of the way, so he never expected that people would still squeeze in his direction.
Upon seeing this, his first reaction was that someone was trying to scam him!
By then, it was too late for him to get away from the woman.
She looked up, staring at Qin Mu with a murderous look on her face.
