Chapter 269 The cause of the matter
Zhou Bai stood aside, listening to what Uncle Wang said, he began to feel that the story was slowly being pieced together.
But the face of the old patriarch was not moved at all.
Holding the long sword expressionlessly, he stabbed at him.
"You are still cold-blooded and ruthless."
Old Uncle Wang's arm was scratched by the old patriarch.
He looked back at his wound, then picked up his dagger, and rushed towards him.
The old patriarch looks older than Uncle Wang, more than ten years older.
So even though Old Uncle Wang was walking with a limp, the physical fitness of the old patriarch was still much worse than him.
So, when Uncle Wang rushed over, the old patriarch couldn't dodge in time, and he stabbed him in the shoulder.
His protective clothing was cut open, and then the white clothes he was wearing inside were stained red with blood.
Zhou Bai looked at the blood on the old patriarch's shoulder, and couldn't help frowning.
Article 4 of the working rules of the combat team.
【When fighting the enemy at night, please protect yourself. If you are accidentally injured, please use your life to protect the safety of other clansmen. And after the end of the day's battle, leave the old house. 】
According to this rule, all injured members of the Wu clan need to leave the Wu clan's old house that night.
What about the old patriarch?
Will he leave tonight too?
After tonight, there will be one more guard battle.
Zhou Bai couldn't imagine what the Wu family would do without the old patriarch.
Old Uncle Wang's knife was pulled out from the old patriarch's shoulder.
Then looking at the wound on his shoulder, he laughed again.
"Hahaha... bleed, bleed.
You are leaving the Wu family too.
Would you like me to take you out to see what the outside world looks like? "
The old patriarch covered his shoulders with his hands, and cold sweat began to break out from his forehead due to the pain.
"I can take you to look under the cliff.
Take you to experience how I spent those days. "
The old patriarch's sword was facing the ground, and he held it with his hand, supporting himself not to fall.
And Uncle Wang looked at him like this and smiled.
He raised his dagger, and wanted to slash at him again.
Zhou Bai saw his movements and was thinking about whether to make a move.
But seeing the floor he was on, the two members of the fourth team had already dealt with the monsters around him, and then rushed towards the old patriarch.
The dagger in Uncle Wang's hand was knocked down by one of the team members to the ground.
So, he could only start to back away non-stop.
At this time, in the courtyard on the first floor, Wu Hu had already led the Wu clan to eliminate the last monster.
Then he led a large group of people and ran towards the upstairs where they were.
In an instant, Uncle Wang was surrounded by these Wu clan members.
He looked up at the menacing Wu clan around him, there was no fear on his face, but he started laughing again.
"Do you think it's weird?
Your Wu family has done nothing wrong, why are you being attacked by monsters every night for no reason? "
The members of the Wu clan present were a little stunned when asked by Uncle Wang.
But Zhou Bai felt that the key information was about to appear, so he quickly jumped onto the railing, so that he would not be blocked by these Wu clan members, and could see Old Uncle Wang's expression more clearly.
Wu Hu looked around, waved his hand, and soon a few team members came over and carried the corpse from the top floor down.
Then, he took off his protective clothing, and said to Uncle Wang.
Who are you? Breaking into our old house, what exactly do you want to do? "
Old man Wang looked at Wu Hu, and then sneered.
"It seems that everyone has been deceived miserably by your old patriarch."
In the crowd, some people with a more violent temper heard that Uncle Wang began to slander the old patriarch, and they were so angry that they took up weapons and wanted to fight him desperately.
But at this moment, Uncle Wang suddenly stretched his hand towards his face.
Then he took off the scarf that blocked the lower half of his face.
So, his rotten face, like a monster, was exposed in front of everyone without any cover.
The few people who rushed in front of him with weapons saw his face, and couldn't help but pause in the movements of their hands.
Then I heard someone in the crowd recognize him.
"Are you... Uncle Wang who was guarding the old house before?"
"The Uncle Wang who disappeared suddenly after only being here for a few months?"
"Yes, I remember that since he disappeared, the old patriarch dismissed all the other people who were hired to help with odd jobs in the old house."
Uncle Wang walked up to the old patriarch.
"Surprised?
My face is all thanks to you. "
After he finished speaking, he opened his hands, and then walked in front of the others present, showing his face to them one by one.
"Who says I'm missing?
I was clearly pushed off the cliff by your old patriarch. "
As soon as Uncle Wang’s words fell, voices of opposition began to appear in the crowd again.
"Nonsense! The old patriarch has always been kind to outsiders.
For no reason, how could you do such a thing? "
Old man Wang twitched the corner of his rotten mouth.
"Of course not for nothing.
Because I accidentally saw something hidden, so he wanted to kill me.
Oh, by the way, he hid that thing in the room with the red note on it.
As for which room it is hidden in, I don't know.
You have to ask him to open all the rooms to find out. "
Zhou Bai understood after hearing what Old Uncle Wang said.
No wonder I opened these rooms so many times before, but I didn't see what's inside.
It turns out that there are 13 rooms, but there are actually 12, all of which are used to confuse the public.
Only one of them is really hiding something.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai suddenly felt uneasy.
Then, what Old Uncle Wang said made him fully understand the source of these uneases.
"Why do these monsters attack you?
And why do they attack you at a fixed time every time?
Don't you feel very puzzled?
It is because of this thing that your old patriarch hid.
will attract them during these time periods.
Not only that, but you old patriarch clearly knows the way to stop the monster from attacking, but he refuses to tell you! "
When Zhou Bai heard what Old Uncle Wang said, his whole head buzzed.
All the information gathered in his mind, and then quickly pieced together.
He suddenly jumped off the railing.
Then he turned his head and looked downstairs.
But at this moment, a sound of slamming the door was suddenly heard, coming from the place directly below them.
