Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 151 It’s hard to explain in one word

Linlang: "It's my turn."

Linlang picked up the jade slip and input spiritual power into it.

The high priest was very confident in Linlang. He just asked him to take care of the villagers down the mountain. Let him make his own decisions and not estimate too much. Let him take care of Wulan's family, the high priest's friends, and Meng Xianyu.

In short, think twice before doing anything and don't worry.

Everything else is fine, except for the things down the mountain that are difficult to solve.

This is the most troublesome part for Linlang. Ever since Linlang and her friends brought Meng Xianyu back, the villagers have been restless.

They kept clamoring for the high priest to come out and explain. Linlang sent people to communicate with them, but to no avail.

The villagers made many excessive demands, and Linlang tried to delay them. Delaying is only temporary, and it is impossible to solve the problem fundamentally.

The villagers wanted to use Meng Xianyu and Wu Na's lives for sacrifice.

Human sacrifice is something that rarely happens. After all, human life is different from livestock.

If the person they wanted to burn to death was an unforgivable bandit or a damned person with blood on his hands, the priests might have turned a blind eye.

But this time, it was not because of Meng Xianyu's accidental intrusion, nor was it because of Wu Na's ominousness. Someone was killed, and it had nothing to do with the two of them. Why should they be burned alive?

Even if we want to follow the drama, it was Liya and the others who were greedy and caused trouble. Even if we want to investigate, they should bear the responsibility themselves.

Meng Xianyu and the others were unaware of these things, so Linlang suppressed the news to avoid causing unnecessary panic.

I thought that if I delayed the incident, the villagers' emotions would gradually calm down and things would turn around. But I didn't expect that they would turn their attention to Wu Na's family without any discrimination.

Muren and his two adopted sons are kind people and do not want to harm the villagers.

Muren is the head of the village. If he doesn't even care about the lives of the villagers, no one will care.

Although Muren's two sons have different personalities, neither of them is a murderer.

Even when the villagers forced the two brothers into a desperate situation, they only thought about how to escape and never had any intention of killing the villagers.

They don't know why things are getting out of control! They have to find out the mastermind to prevent things from getting worse.

The people of the Holy Temple probably had some credit for the big commotion. After all, the two elders of the Holy Temple were also involved, and the people sent by the Holy Mountain to spy on them must have spread the news long ago.

The temple will definitely send other elders over, and the two sides might meet face to face.

The high priest would never hand over Elder Jiayu and the other two.

Although the two of them came here to coordinate this matter, handing them back to the temple now would be like sending them to the guillotine with their own hands.

Not to mention that the misunderstanding between the brothers has been resolved now, even if the misunderstanding had not yet been resolved, Monk would not watch Jiayu die.

Even if Monk didn't help, he would send people to secretly slaughter the killers of the Temple.

Those killers are already extremely evil people, killing them is getting rid of harm to the people.

Monk always said to mind one's own business, but nothing concerning the temple was a private matter.

Meng Xianyu: "What happened down the mountain? Wasn't the last fire enough? What's going on this time?"

Linlang: "It's hard to put it into words. Someone almost died again."

After Linlang finished speaking, she glanced at Wu Na.

Meng Xianyu: "Do we need to come forward?"

If the fishermen were willing to listen to their explanation, things wouldn't have turned out like this. She didn't like dealing with those fishermen, but if Meng Xianyu needed to step in, she would still go.

Linlang: "Don't, that group of people is hoping that you two will show up!"

Meng Xianyu: "The two of us?"

The death was not caused by Meng Xianyu and Wu Na, but by those kids. What does it have to do with them? How can they put the blame on them?

If Meng Xianyu had really done something wrong, she would naturally be willing to accept the punishment, but this matter had nothing to do with her, and she would never allow herself to be manipulated by those fishermen.

Meng Xianyu knew that she could just reason with the fishermen. Their ideas were deeply rooted. It was not something that Meng Xianyu could do with just a few words.

It is impossible to change the local people's views. Even if they are suppressed by force with iron-blooded means, more chaos will still occur afterwards.

If reason doesn't work and suppression by force doesn't work, then the only option is to hide.

Meng Xianyu didn't want to hide, but the fishermen were angry and they were quite united.

Meng Xianyu had no good ideas and could only wait for things to turn around. Once the fishermen's emotions gradually calmed down, she would find a way to get out of this predicament.

She and Wu Na were not murderers, so why should they be blamed for someone's mistake and loss of life?

If the two of them just swallowed their anger and accepted this matter, they would probably have to bear the blame for a long time to come.

Even if the truth is revealed in the future, no one will sympathize with them.

Even if someone sympathizes with what happened to both of them, there is no way to make it up to them.

No matter what, Meng Xianyu must come up with a solution that is the best of both worlds.

For the sake of her and Wu Na's innocence, and for Wu Na's relatives to continue living a carefree life in the small fishing village, Meng Xianyu must find a solution.

Meng Xianyu felt somewhat guilty about Wu Na's family. They were all very kind to her, and didn't even treat her differently because she said she was from another race.

Even Leah was very enthusiastic at the beginning, but she was blinded.

Even if Liya made a big mistake, Meng Xianyu didn't want a young life to disappear like that.

He is just a naughty child. With a good education, he may turn over a new leaf.

As a teacher, Meng Xianyu didn't want to give up on any child. Even though she didn't like Liya very much, she still hoped that she could live well.

People only have the opportunity to change when they are alive. If they die, there will be nothing left.

Meng Xianyu has experienced life and death, and she knows very well that not everyone has the opportunity to be reborn.

She has one more chance to change than others, and she also hopes that Leah and the others can live well. Nothing is more important than living.

Linlang: "It's common for people in the Wenyu tribe to die, but they have now determined that you two are the cause of the trouble. If they catch you, they will burn you alive."

No one knows who is fanning the flames behind the scenes, blaming Meng Xianyu and Wu Na, and insisting that it was because of them that Leah and the others got into such a big disaster.

Meng Xianyu: "How can we be blamed for this? It was those girls who got into trouble themselves. What does it have to do with us?"

Linlang: "It's useless to explain. I can only avoid the limelight. When I took you away, I promised to give them an explanation. Until now, I haven't given them an answer."

Meng Xianyu: "They already have the answer in their hearts"

Just as Meng Xianyu said, these villagers only have one answer in their hearts. If the answer given by the sacrificial lineage is not the answer they want, they will not give up.

No one knew who instigated the incident, but not only did they burn down Wu Na's house, they also drove out her two brothers.

The two younger brothers were quite responsible. They went through all these things but had no complaints at all.

Wu Na: "Any news about them?"

Linlang: "It is said that he is hiding. I believe that Village Chief Muren knows this better."

Linlang asked her subordinates to hand over the news from the other party directly to Muren.

Linlang didn't want to ask more questions, so she just told Muren to tell her if he needed them.

If they were needed to help, Muren would come to them. Muren had not consulted with them, which at least showed that the two brothers were not in danger.

Therefore, Linlang was not aware of the two brothers' situation and where they were hiding. After all, the fewer people who knew, the safer it was.

Meng Xianyu: "I'll go with you to ask later"

Meng Xianyu patted Wu Na's hand

Linlang: "Oh, Miss Meng, there is one more thing I need to tell you. We are still not sure whether the corpse you buried in the cave is Fairy Yueyun. The high priest told me before that I have sent people to set up a cover there and sent people to guard it secretly."

Meng Xianyu: "The high priest is very thoughtful. Thank you very much."

Linlang: "After confirmation, if it is really Fairy Yueyun, we need to send the body back."

They all hoped that the person was not Fairy Yueyun, but the hope was somewhat slim.

Maybe Fairy Yueyun just gave the letter to her personal maid! As long as it hasn't been confirmed, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Meng Xianyu: "Well, I will find a way to verify it after I arrive at the college."

Linlang: "Let's get well first."

Meng Xianyu: "My injury is nothing. I just need to recuperate for a few days."

Linlang: "Then wait until your wounds are healed, and then we can discuss the next thing. Let's listen to what the high priest has to say first."

Wu Na had nothing to hide. Her identity was already determined and could not be changed. Guardian Linlang would only protect Wu Na. Meng Xianyu would not harm Wu Na either.

The voice of the high priest came from the jade slip, "Wuna, do what you want to do. Don't worry about you, Ali and Yixi, there will be people to take care of them. You and Miss Meng can leave together! When things are settled, I will send someone to pick you up."

The high priest's voice was cold, but there was a hint of tenderness in it.

The High Priest was a man who seldom showed his emotions.

But at this moment, everyone could hear his concern for Wu Na.

Wu Na and the high priest are the same kind of people. They are both unwilling to express themselves, and some things are tacitly understood.
