Chapter 988: What Do You Think of Me?
Hong Xiao shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "Thank you for the kindness of the patriarch, but I can't stay here, there are a lot of things outside that I can't let go, I have to go back!" ”
"Haha, since that's the case, then I won't force you to stay, I know, benefactor, you are a hero, it is impossible to be in a corner of peace for the rest of your life, I understand, understand, but I am not in a hurry to leave today, we are either drunk and not returning!"
For the patriarch's suggestion, Hong Xiao naturally would not refuse, originally after entering the 100,000 mountains, Hong Xiao's purpose was just the star fruit, and there were still a few days before the fruit was ripe, Hong Xiao could stay here for a day or two. [Ran^Text^Library] []
"Patriarch, I have another reluctant request, I hope you can agree!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hong Xiao made his own request.
didn't listen to Hong Xiao's request, the patriarch immediately waved his hand and opened his mouth: "You are our hero, I will promise you anything you need." ”、
"Great."
Hong Xiao nodded, opened his mouth and said: "That's the case, this time the sacrifice of the gods was not completed, and there are a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures left, these things may not have a big effect in Miaozhai, but I have some needs, in this way, you sell these heavenly treasures to me at a price, what do you say?" ”
Hong Xiao is taking advantage of it indiscriminately, these natural treasures Hong Xiao is indeed hot-eyed, but he will not ask for it directly, and it is always no problem to spend money to buy it.
Anyway, it is really useless for Miao Zhai to keep these heavenly treasures, it is better to sell them to Hong Xiao, and they can be regarded as taking what they need!
"No, that's not going to work!"
Unexpectedly, after listening to Hong Xiao's words, the patriarch looked disagreeable, and immediately opened his mouth to deny.
This made Hong Xiao a little overwhelmed.
What's wrong with that?
Just when Hong Xiao was puzzled, the patriarch opened his mouth and explained: "Benefactor, you are the great benefactor of our Miao Village, you can do something for you, which is what we all want to see."
It's really useless for us to keep these treasures, but we must not ask for your money, I will give you all these things. ”
It turned out that what the patriarch disagreed with was not the ownership of these heavenly treasures, but the fact that he didn't want Hong Xiao's money.
In the patriarch's opinion, Hong Xiao has done Miao Zhai such a big favor, and if Miao Zhai asks for Hong Xiao's money again, it will be an ungrateful act.
Everyone in Miao Village is grateful for their gratitude, and such a thing as ingratitude must not be done.
Patriarch, listen to me, these things are too precious, I can't ask for them for nothing, if you agree to sell them to me, I'll buy them, if you don't agree, then forget it, I don't want it! ”
These treasures, but the people of Miao Village collected them little by little, and for these things, several young people in Miao Village lost their lives.
These things are of great significance to Miao Village, Hong Xiao will never ask for it without spending money, it must not work!
"Hong Xiao!"
But I didn't expect that after listening to Hong Xiao's words, the patriarch's face froze, and his expression was very serious!
"You not only saved our Miao Zhai people in the forest, but also helped us leave those sacrifices later, and finally you helped kill the fake gods, these great virtues are remembered by our Miao Village for generations, and if there is any need for us in the future, you say, we will never give up!"
Now, you just need some natural treasures, and it is also useless natural treasures left to us, how can we ask for your money, if you insist on giving us money, you will look down on our Miao Village.
Indeed, our Miao Village is not rich, but it is not poor to that extent, you want any money, you listen to me, you take the treasure, but you must not give money, otherwise, when we have not known it! ”
Hong Xiao was stunned on the spot.
Hong Xiao didn't expect that the patriarch would have such a big reaction because he insisted on giving money, this is really not wanting to let himself give money!
Hong Xiao already knew the patriarch's intentions very well.
In the end, Hong Xiao agreed to the patriarch's suggestion and expressed his gratitude.
Hong Xiao was really afraid that he didn't agree to the patriarch's suggestion and would leave him with regrets.
"Hahahaha, that's right, this is the refreshment of our Miao Zhai friends, those genius treasures are in Ah Lang's hands, just ask him when you leave." The patriarch said happily.
It seems that Hong Xiao can ask for their things, how happy it is for them.
For the enthusiasm of Miao Village, Hong Xiao has seen it again.
After doing all this, everyone in Miao Village began to look for Hong Xiao to toast again.
Before, Hong Xiao and the patriarch talked about things, and it was inconvenient for them to come over, but now that the conversation is over, they began to push the cup and change the cup with Hong Xiao again!
This afternoon, Hong Xiao didn't know how many glasses of wine he drank, the wine in Miao Village was all brewed by himself, and the wine was very strong, so even though Hong Xiao claimed to be a thousand cups, he was almost drunk in the end, and the whole person was dizzy.
However, Zhu Zhishan and Tucker, who have internal strength, have internal strength to relieve hangover, and they can't get drunk no matter how they drink.
In the end, Hong Xiao returned to the stilted building prepared for him by Ah Lang in a daze to rest, leaving Zhu Zhishan and Tucker to continue drinking outside.
Although he drank a lot, Hong Xiao recovered quickly, and after resting in the stilted building for a few hours, the banquet outside was over, and Hong Xiao also woke up.
Squeak!
Hong Xiao pushed open the door and was about to go out, when he happened to see Ah Lang outside.
"Benefactor, are you awake?" Ah Lang laughed.
"Alang? Why are you here? "Hong Xiao is a little strange.
"It was the High Priest who asked me to come, I have been waiting here, and the High Priest said, as long as you wake up, I will let you go to him!" Ah Lang said.
"High priest?"
Hong Xiao was a little strange, what did the high priest do with him?
During the previous banquet, the high priest did not attend, and Hong Xiao also asked the patriarch about the high priest, and the patriarch said that the high priest had other things to do.
Unexpectedly, the high priest would find himself now.
"Ah Lang, you lead the way in front, I'll take a look."
Hong Xiao's wine is almost sober, and now it's just right to go to see the high priest!
Soon, Ah Lang took Hong Xiao to the outside of the high priest's residence.
"The high priest will only let you in alone, and I will not go in." Ah Lang said to Hong Xiao.
Hong Xiao nodded.
This time, the high priest was looking for him, and he should have something to discuss, so Hong Xiao didn't say much.
After Ah Lang left, Hong Xiao knocked on the door of the high priest's room.
"Come in!"
The high priest's somewhat aged voice came from inside.
Hong Xiao pushed the door in, but the door was closed.
"It's Hong Xiao here!"
At this time, the high priest was kneeling in front of the portrait of the ancestor of the Miao people, not knowing what he was doing, even if Hong Xiao came in, he did not look back.
Hong Xiao responded, saying that he was here, and then the two fell silent at the same time.
The high priest continued to kneel on the ground, as if to worship something, while Hong Xiao stood not far from the door, silent, waiting for the high priest's side to end.
After about ten minutes, the High Priest's side was finally over.
I saw the high priest stand up, turn around, smile at Hong Xiao, and say, "I've been waiting for a long time!" ”
Hong Xiao didn't reply, just smiled and shook his head.
If you want to say who is the most powerful, mysterious and knowledgeable person in this Miao Village, it is the high priest.
The importance of the high priest to Miao Village is often even more important than that of the patriarch, so the old man can become the high priest, and he must have his own advantages.
Moreover, Hong Xiao believes that the reason why the high priest is the high priest must not be opportunistic.
Therefore, even if he has not seen the power of the high priest, Hong Xiao has always maintained a heart of respect for the high priest!
Such a wise old man is indeed worthy of Hong Xiao's respect.
"Hong Xiao, please take a seat."
Hong Xiao sat beside the High Priest.
How old the high priest is today, Hong Xiao doesn't know, but looking at the appearance of the high priest, the age is definitely not young, his face is full of wrinkles, dark skin, teeth that have begun to fall out, and the only dazzling thing is the eyes full of wisdom.
I don't know why, Hong Xiao has a feeling that the eyes of the high priest seem to be able to see through everything in this world.
This feeling was strange, but it did appear in Hong Xiao's mind.
Could it be that the high priest could really see through the world? It can't be, right? This is not something that an ordinary person can do.
In the outside world, there are indeed a lot of rumors about the high priest of the Miao people, as if the high priest is a very powerful character.
Before coming to Miao Village, Hong Xiao had never seen the high priest of Miao Village, so he also heard about the high priest from others.
But after coming to Miao Village, the high priest here does not seem to be as powerful and terrifying as the outside says, he is more like an ancient wise man, a person who guides the direction of Miao Village.
"I don't know if the high priest is looking for a junior to come over, is there something to order?"
Hong Xiao saw that the high priest did not take the initiative to speak, so he could only take the initiative to speak.
But unexpectedly, when the high priest heard him ask, he shook his head directly and said, "Actually, I don't have anything to do with you, I just want to talk to you!" ”
"Talk to me?"
This time, Hong Xiao was even more confused.
What did the high priest have to talk about himself?
Although Hong Xiao also thinks that he is very knowledgeable, compared with the high priest, it is still much worse, just because of this life experience, Hong Xiao can't catch up with the high priest even if he pats the horse.
After all, how many years the high priest has lived in this world, Hong Xiao can't compare at all.
In such a situation, what can the two talk about?
Do you talk about feelings?
But Hong Xiao and the high priest don't seem to have such a deep relationship!
"That's right, I'm just talking to you, Hong Xiao, what do you think, how about our Miao Village?" The High Priest asked suddenly.
The high priest actually asked himself such a question, and Hong Xiao suddenly didn't know how to answer.
How do you answer this question?
How is Miao Village?
Hong Xiao thinks it's good!
However, Hong Xiao naturally can't just answer very well, he must say a reason.
So, Hong Xiao said: "I think Miao Village is very good, the people here are very simple, although the life is primitive, but it is rare to maintain a sincerity and simplicity, which is not seen in the current outside society." ”
Hong Xiao gave his opinion.
This is also the point that Hong Xiao values the most.
The high priest smiled and nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with Hong Xiao's answer.
Approaching, the High Priest continued to ask, "What do you think of me, the High Priest?" ”
What the?
The high priest asked such a difficult question.
Ask Hong Xiao how he is.
How does this make Hong Xiao answer yes?
The key question is that Hong Xiao really doesn't know much about the high priest!
However, since the high priest asked so, there must be a reason for him, and Hong Xiao couldn't help but answer!
