Chapter 487: Inferior Race
When we return to our dwellings inside the waterfall, the golden morning light shines through the water curtains and stone pillars, reflecting the furniture and flower beds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Qianling walked around the mushroom umbrella from the small bridge under the waterfall, and the woman walked behind her, the white fox fur dress dragged on the ground, passing through the waterfall but not stained with silk.
The two talked and laughed all the way, one tall and one short, one behind and one in front, one calm and one lively, from a distance, they complement each other, and there is a bit of closeness and tacit understanding between mother and daughter.
"Husband, ma'am!"
saw the two maids in front of him running over in a panic, kneeling on the ground in a hurry, and the white fox tail drooping on the ground:
"Ma'am, go and see......! Those people have barged in!"
The woman frowned: "Don't worry, make it clear." β
The two maids raised their heads, their expressions were anxious, and their mouths were still panting:
"It's the patriarch! The patriarch didn't know where he got the news, and he broke in with someone without saying a word, and happened to run into the young master and miss them......! Now I have to catch Xiaoguo and go!"
Meanwhile.
Inside the waterfall.
Stone pillars of various shapes meander from each other, and vines entangle around them, clinging from the ground to the top of the rock, bearing shiny jujube-shaped fruits.
The flowers in the flower bed, which had been fluffy and brilliant not long ago, were a mess, the chairs were slanted and stretched away beside the table, the milk cups on the table were gurgling, and the fruit was stained with milk.
Several struggling fox clan servants were restrained to the ground by some tall fox men with their hands in the opposite hand, and looked up worriedly from time to time, anxious but unable to move.
"Don't, don't come here," Li Jing Li Xi shrank on the edge of the rock wall, pointing to the group of fox men gathered around, "You want to get closer, I, we're welcome!
Those fox men only leaned over with expressionless faces, as if they had never heard of it, and the expression on their faces was indifferent or indifferent.
Suddenly, a pair of white velvet little fox ears poked out from behind Li Jing.
Li Xiaoruo showed a small head, shook his ears, clear and beautiful heterochromatic pupils, one red gold and one dark red, curiously glanced at the people around him, and looked up: "Goo?"
"Don't talk, don't talk......" Li Jing hurriedly pressed her little head back and hid it tightly behind her.
The morning light is blurred.
The half-open and half-closed cave wall is exposed to the blue sky, clouds and waterfalls, and the golden sunlight penetrates down from the gaps in the clouds, like a long golden ribbon, through the gaps in the stone pillars and sprinkles into the waterfall cave sky, and reflects the colorful luster with the waterfall.
Against the sun, an old fox man with a wooden staff stood by the stone pillar, his robe was richly decorated with ivory jewels, and his long gray beard hung down to the ground, forming a sharp contrast with the fluffy gray and white fox tail behind him.
Several middle-aged men of the fox clan stood beside the old man, also dressed in jeweled aristocratic clothes.
The old man stared at the pair of young men and girls who were surrounded by several fox men on the edge of the rock wall, and slowly moved his gaze to the two small children behind them, squinting his eyes.
A middle-aged fox man next to him looked at his expression, then looked at the fox man who was surrounded by groups, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, take them all!"
"Wait. A clear and gentle woman's voice came.
The man looked back and saw the visitor, his expression changed slightly. frowned again, slowly picked up his hand, and looked like he was waiting to watch the play without fear.
The old man slowly looked in the direction where the voice came from, his long gray beard hung down to the ground, and he shook as he spoke, and his tone was full of kindness:
"Jiu'er, this is coming back from practice, and you still get up early as usual. β
The woman smiled faintly, her fox fur skirt hung down, and she slowly and respectfully saluted the old man:
"Patriarch. β
His eyes swept over the crooked flower beds and the messy tables and chairs one by one, and finally looked at Li Jing Lixi, who was surrounded by many fox men.
"Mom, Mom!" the two in the distance were waving at her with teary eyes, "Mom, you're back! Help! This bad old man is going to raid our house with a bunch of people!"
"Shut up, don't be presumptuous. The woman glanced at them coldly, and the two of them suddenly seemed to be splashed with cold water.
"I don't know if the patriarch suddenly visited the humble house," the woman turned her face to look at the patriarch again, and her words were still polite, "What advice?"
The patriarch sighed, and the wooden staff on his crutches lit on the ground:
"Where's the wine...... I heard that your runaway daughter is back, why don't you inform me of this old man, everyone has come to celebrate, it's lively!"
She smiled faintly: "Li Jiu has no way to teach his son, how dare you disturb your Qingyang with such an ugly thing." I have scolded these two troublesome little rabbit cubs one by one, and I will discipline them strictly in the future, and I hope you will raise your noble hand and bypass them this time. β
The old man smiled and waved his hand: "You girl is still sharp-tongued, my old man is old, but he is not old and dizzy." β
"Okay, I'm not going around the bush anymore. Wine, if I'm right......"
He raised his wooden staff and pointed at the young man and girl who was surrounded by a group: "That child with demonic blood pupils should be the illegitimate son of Li Luo who disappeared many years ago, right?"
"It's no wonder that Li Sang's three sisters and brothers ran away together, and it was indeed a deep love between sisters and brothers. β
Li Jiu's expression froze slightly, and soon changed back to a calm and indifferent appearance:
"The patriarch is really well-informed, and Li Jiu sighs to himself. But whether it is my own child or someone else's child, it is my child after all. What his husband never compromised back then, now Li Jiu will definitely not go against his last wishes. β
"Presumptuous!" A richly dressed aristocratic man next to him stepped forward, frowning, "Li Jiu! As a pure-blooded nobleman, you have openly violated the clan rules and secretly hid mixed-race cubs! Now that the evidence is conclusive, not only is there no remorse at all, but you also shirk the quibble, the crime is unforgivable, and you should be dealt with according to the clan rules!"
The voice did not fall,
Fluttering shadows flashed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of tall fox men had surrounded Li Jiu, the red golden beast pupils reflected the streamer of the waterfall, and the dangerous cold air spread silently.
The old man waved his hand:
"Alas, young people are just impulsive, what can't you say?"
"Wine," he looked at the woman who was surrounded by a group, and his tone was a little consoling, "the ugly things of the past have passed, but now you have not only brought back that child, but also another one!"
He sighed: "It's just two mixed-race inferior children, how much does it affect the faΓ§ade, why should everyone hurt the harmony, you say?"
The blue mushroom fell at his feet.
Qianling hid behind a stone pillar in the far corner, holding her breath nervously and looking at the black-pressed crowd through the gap in the stone pillar.
Seeing that another group of solemn and strict fox men surrounded the woman, she swallowed her saliva and hid behind the stone pillar like an ant on a hot pot.
