Chapter 232: It's better to leave early
Su Xi also knew that the patriarch would only believe in herself if she showed the same belief in God, feared God, and swore an oath like them.
So, Su Xi repeated the patriarch's words: "If I have half a lie, I will lose ten years of life." ”
The look of doubt on the patriarch's face completely dissipated, but there was a hint of kindness and kindness, and he first expressed sympathy for Su Xi's situation, and then said as if he remembered something: "The high priest brought back an injured man a few days ago, but he didn't know if it was your husband. ”
When Su Xi heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes: "Really? Has the person been saved? Can I see it now, can I confirm it?"
The patriarch also seemed very reasonable, seeing Su Xi looking forward to and delighted like this, he couldn't bear to pour cold water on her, but said: "Although the person has been saved, but he is sent by God to help the high priest, if you want to see him, you still have to ask for the opinion of the sacrifice, I will help ask, you can stay in the mansion for the time being." ”
No wonder Jiang Yihui let himself bring his belongings at the beginning, it turned out that the patriarch didn't plan to let him leave. Whatever, as long as he can see Abang, she would rather take a risk if she temporarily detains herself.
"Okay, then there will be Patriarch Lao, thank you Patriarch!"
Whether it works or not, it's always right to say thank you first.
The patriarch pointed to the twenty-eight lanterns that had been ordered to be hung aside, and his face was even more curious and expectant than just now.
"Did you come up with the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies?" the patriarch asked Su Xi.
Su Xi just swore that if she lied, she would lose ten years of life, and the original author of the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies was not her at all, she was at most an author of the adaptation, which made the story look more sick and attractive.
So what, the author of the adaptation is also the author.
Thinking of this, Su Xi nodded very firmly to the patriarch: "That's right, it's me." ”
"That painting ......"
"It was painted by four painters in your village, and if the patriarch wants to find them, I can take you there. Su Xi said very enthusiastically, as if she was the villager who grew up here.
The patriarch smiled and shook his head: "I just want to know the development later in this story, what happened after the Seven Fairies were brought back to Heavenly Court?"
Su Xi was happy in his heart, this patriarch didn't expect to be a fan of stories, if it develops to modern times, it will be a fan.
Sure enough, from the current point of view, the development of things has not at least not departed from Su Xi's grasp and expectations, but the appearance of this witch doctor and his informant to the patriarch made Su Xi's heart a little unhappy, but no matter, anyway, tomorrow the patriarch will give her an explanation about the sacrificial answer, as long as she can see Abang, she doesn't care about the process in between.
After telling the patriarch about the final ending, let the patriarch look at the paintings in the hall alone and look sad, Su Xi went to the residence under the guidance of the maid to rest.
Even if it was adapted, Su Xi did not change the final ending to be happy. There are regrets to have highlights, and there are highlights to attract people, otherwise, those idol dramas rely on what to gain a firm foothold in film and television dramas.
To be more precise, Su Xi seriously adheres to the wishes of the original author, so he can be regarded as loyal to the original work.
After looking at the room, in order not to let the patriarch's people suspect, Su Xi took a nap, but this "nap" was to sleep until night, and Su Xi didn't wake up until a maid knocked on the door.
After dinner, Su Xi was not easy to be in the room, at the very least, she wanted to find out the basic structure of this mansion, what if she met "Abang" by mistake?
In Su Xi's consciousness, as long as he enters here, the more opportunities he will have to meet Abang.
If the witch doctor didn't mean it, it was the eight-character offense between him and Su Xi, and they could still meet at night.
"I asked you to go, but you won't go, and now that you're in the patriarch's mansion, you can't leave even if you want to. The witch doctor ignored Su Xi's dissatisfaction and hostility towards him, and opened his mouth to remind him again, but this didn't sound like a reminder, but more like he came to announce Su Xi's fate.
Su Xi didn't believe the seriousness of his words, and simply said: "Since you can't escape, what's the use of you telling me this, Heng and Zhu have already come in." “
Yes, Heng and Zhu have already come in, isn't it too late for him to say this at this time?
The witch doctor took the opportunity to say: "No, there is still a chance, as long as you want, I can find a way to take you away, my speech to the patriarch still has some weight, I will find a reason to take you away." ”
Su Xi took two steps back vigilantly, protected himself with both hands, and looked the witch doctor up and down: "You...... Aren't you going to take me in love and elope? I'll tell you, I'm a man with a husband. ”
The witch doctor's face showed helplessness: "I'm not joking with you, what I said is true, why don't you believe that I am doing it for your good? ”
This witch doctor, could it be that he didn't know that she Su Xi was not frightened, as a person with a strong sense of competitiveness, the witch doctor's words aroused her desire to fight with that sacrifice. She wanted to see what kind of ability this woman, who had been repeatedly feared by the witch doctor, was able to control a delicate and meticulous person like the patriarch in the hands of power.
Su Xi was in charge of the company's employees, because she distributed wages to them, and controlled their family's wealth, which can be regarded as an equal transaction, you work and I will give you money, but there is no property exchange between the priest and the patriarch, the sacrifice and the villagers.
The power of faith is sometimes stronger than money, and Su Xi only admitted this after he really understood it. At the very least, in her opinion, the name of the village of Wu Village, as well as the patriarch, were convinced by the word of mouth of the very powerful sacrifice, which was enough to show the influence of the faith that the sacrifice passed on to them.
To be honest, Su Xi is not sure whether this witch doctor is good or bad, and how much of what he says is credible and how much is not credible, Su Xi can't be sure.
"However, I am not here to oppose the sacrifice, I just want to confirm whether Abang is my husband or not. Su Xi retorted that since she had made it clear that the witch doctor's purpose was to persuade her to leave, she also had to find out her attitude.
