Chapter 233: Between Responses
Halfway up the mountain, dense tents began to appear all around, and all the people who came and went were fresh faces, and no acquaintances were seen.
The leaves had no choice but to keep going.
Along the way, she met many groups of neatly dressed young men and women with excellent temperament, Ye Zi's appearance was already outstanding, and people passing by would more or less cast a glance of surprise or jealousy, which made her a little annoyed, so she quickened her pace.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, someone next to him suddenly exclaimed: "Gaozu? ”
It's Ye Feng. Although Ye Zi had too much contact with Ye Feng, he had a deep impression of his slightly deep voice. She looked sideways, and Ye Feng and several other men from the Ye family were holding a lot of barbecue meat and wild fruits, staring at her in surprise.
"So you're here, and I've been looking for it for a long time." Ye Zi wiped the sweat stains that did not exist on his forehead, and pretended to be hard.
Ye Feng was the first to come back to his senses, stepped forward and looked at her carefully, before asking, "Ancestor, you didn't ...... How do you ......"
You didn't? Not dead? How did you? What are you doing here?
Ye Zi guessed the meaning of his words with a wicked taste, and smiled slightly: "Let's go, take me to the camp." Well, the fruit is so fresh, I starved to death. ”
Ye Zi walked up to the person holding the wild fruit, picked a bright red fruit, wiped it on his body at will, and gnawed it.
"Uh......" Maybe they had never seen such an informal side of the leaves, and they were all stunned.
Ye Feng hurriedly put the barbecue in his hand into the other person's hand, and led Ye Zi to the front: "Gaozu, please go this way." Our Ye family's camp tent is in the direction of the top of the mountain, relatively close to the entrance of the Immortal Mansion. He explained as he walked.
Hearing him talk about this, a few people behind him who were a little restrained also let go, and said with a smile: "It's still the clan elders who have made full plans, so that the three clan elders can come and occupy a good place in advance, so that we can camp and build tents only five miles away from the entrance of the Immortal Mansion." ”
"No, when we came, there was a lot of commotion around us, and some families were arguing over the territory, and the etiquette, reserve, face, and prestige were fed to the dogs. Haha......"
Ye Zi also laughed, "It's not the first time that the other families have participated in the training, why didn't they think about coming to occupy the place earlier?" ”
"Hey, they're going to do that. But they didn't come early, they didn't get older. I've heard that every year they come three days earlier than the last, and although they are not the earliest, they must be the first to come. ”
"Yes, yes, I've heard that, too. Last year, the elders of the three clans advanced by twenty days. Twenty-three days earlier this year, when I came, there were only four or five families here, and there were still so many places.
I see, Ye Zi nodded secretly, Ye Tao and they are clever.
Soon arrived at the Ye family's camp, and when the Ye family saw Ye Zi, they were all so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Especially Ye Fang, the moment she saw the leaves, she was so shocked that the water bladder in her hand fell to the ground without noticing.
"Gao Zu? You ......"
"Gaozu is back!"
Ye Hesheng and Ye Yuguo got the news. Hurriedly rushed out of the tent, glaring at her in surprise and joy, Ye Hesheng said, "It's good to be safe." ”
Ye Yuguo wanted to say something, moved his lips, endured it again, and ordered Ye who was surrounded around: "It's scattered, what should I do...... Before he finished speaking, he saw the barbecue and wild fruits held by several people behind Ye Feng, his throat moved, and he changed his words: "Eh." Eat first. ”
Ye Yuguo led the people to distribute the food, and Ye Zi followed Ye Hesheng into the main tent.
"Gao Zu, what the hell is going on? Where have you been? Before she could sit down, Ye Hesheng couldn't wait to ask.
Ye Zi was silent before he spoke apologetically. "It's complicated, but it has nothing to do with Ye Fang's disappearance, it's some private matter, and it's inconvenient for me to talk about it now."
I haven't thought of a reasonable explanation, Ye Zi has to tell the truth, otherwise. If you lie today, who knows if you will have to tell countless lies in the future?
Ye Hesheng stared at her a little angrily, "What private matter is so important that Gao Zu would rather risk being taken away than go out?" ”
Ye Zi was embarrassed, and hung his head silently as if admitting his mistake.
At this moment, the curtain was opened, and Ye Yuguo, who was dressed in a meaty body, walked in, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and asked, "Where have you been in the past two days?" ”
The attitude was not good, and the tone was not good, but Ye Zi could hear that he also cared about himself, so he didn't care, so he had to say again: "Originally, I didn't bother to talk about this matter, so you are worried that it is my fault, the day before yesterday, I received a message from an old man, inviting me to help do a very important thing, but there was an accident halfway to delay the time." ”
"Then why didn't you tell us? We all thought you were the same as Ye Yan...... The elders of the big clan have already sent people to search for your and Ye Yan's whereabouts in the city. Ye Yuguo said angrily, sitting aside with a stinky face and ignoring her.
"I'm sorry, because things were in such a hurry, and I thought I would be back soon, so I ......," Ye Zi explained again.
The matter has come to this point, and it is pointless for Ye Hesheng and the two of them to pursue it further, so they put it aside and instead arrange for her to rest, "Then you go to the tent next to you to rest first, and ...... at night" Ye Hesheng paused and suddenly thought of something, "We smelled a strange smell of medicine in Ye Fang's room, what's going on?" ”
Ye Zi was shocked, she actually forgot about this. Moreover, she didn't expect Ye Hesheng to be able to smell the scent of Phantom Heart Grass at all.
Immediately, her eyes were innocent and her face was blank, "I haven't been to her room." ”
Seeing this, Ye Hesheng no longer dwelled on this matter, after all, it was fortunate that Ye Zi arrived at Baiyun Mountain safely. Although he didn't understand why Ye Tao and the elder of the big clan took such a fancy to Ye Zi, they simply attached great importance to it as the future young family master. Less head of the house? Ye Hesheng was stunned in his heart, could it be that the ancestors saw that Ye Yujin was not successful enough and could not be used, so they began to cultivate a new family master? Thinking about it, his gaze at the leaves was a little more inquisitive and complex.
That is, the appearance is similar to the ancestor of the Ye family first, in terms of qualifications and cultivation, she can barely be regarded as middle-class, but if you say how good it is, it is not necessarily true, she is still an outsider, what did the ancestors think of her?
Ye Hesheng was puzzled and fell into deep thought.
Ye Zi originally came to see that Ye Hesheng no longer asked about the smell of medicine in Ye Fang's room, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that the other party was looking at her inquiringly and strangely, and she just took a breath and mentioned it violently.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Ye Zi's face turned red with coughing, which well covered up her weakness: Ye Hesheng shouldn't suspect that she was poisoned in Ye Fang's room, right?
The coughing sound also woke up Ye Hesheng who was in deep thought, and found that he had leaked his emotions just now, his face suddenly became a little cloudy, and he said to Ye Zi: "You go to rest first, you will enter the Immortal Mansion tomorrow, and recuperate well." ”
Ye Ziru was granted amnesty, and hurriedly said goodbye and left. After she left, Ye Yuguo also left. Ye Hesheng's face sank suddenly, and his eyes were full of loss and unwillingness.
Thirty years ago, his parents, who were also monks, died unexpectedly, and he was lucky to be met by Ye Chengyuan, the former head of the Ye family, who was passing by at that time.
For a long time, the Ye family from top to bottom, including Ye Tao himself, has taken more care of him and is determined to cultivate him into a talent. Everyone in the Ye family was also respectful and polite when they saw him, but there was always politeness and detachment in the respectfulness - because he was an outsider.
Even so, in the past twenty years, he has done his best to assist Ye Yujin to be the head of the family, and he has never had any other thoughts, and has tried his best to make the Ye family properly and without any omissions.
But now, guessing that Ye Tao and the others would rather cultivate a girl who is not deeply involved in the world and lacks experience, rather than hand over the Ye family to him, a deep sense of loss and sadness arises from the bottom of their hearts.
If the ancestors didn't dare to entrust him with a heavy responsibility because he was not the Ye family's bloodline, then what was the difference between this Ye family ancestor who they didn't know where he came from?
At least he has been in the Ye family for thirty years, although he was not born in the Ye family, he grew up in the Ye family. But Yezi, the ancestors, they haven't even figured out her details until now, but they ......
The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, Ye Hesheng hurriedly stopped, let go of his mind, and let out a long breath of turbidity.
Anyway, the eight hardships of life: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, five yin blazing, and unbelievable, he doesn't want to fall into the prison of asking for nothing for the rest of his life. (To be continued.) )
