Chapter 229: The Clouds Cleared and the Fog Dispersed—It's Over
Ling'er silently remembered what she saw in her heart, but she didn't know how to make mechanisms, and the methods of the ancients were extremely unique, just like the gate when she first entered, she was really deceived.
"No one in your Ao Zhai should have ever broken in, but did you go out?" According to the experience of Bihai Heavenly Palace, she believed that this place must also be connected to the outside through some channel, and just the expression on the face of the Ao Zhai Lord when he saw him could be seen that it was not like a person who had been isolated from the world for a long time.
Ao Qing explained: "Naturally, no, my Ao Zhai is self-sufficient, it has been like this for decades, my father has strict rules, and no clansmen in the village dare to easily cross the rules, of course, this place is like a paradise, why go out and suffer from the red dust, Ling'er girl thinks it's not?" ”
Ling'er looked at it for a long time, although it was not a wild place, but the shrubs, flowers and plants were not very beautiful, they were all strange things, giving people an uncomfortable feeling. Seeing Ao Qing ask herself, Ling'er had to nod and say: "If you are used to it, you don't want to go out, here are all people of the same clan, everyone shares their family in harmony, and it is beautiful to think about." ”
"Do you really think so?" Ao Qing was very happy to hear Ling'er praise his village like this, and hurriedly asked.
"My sister has always liked to play in the mountains and rivers, and she refuses to be stable, where would she really want to stay in a place without moving, she just said that this place is suitable for you." King Heng said indifferently, and a pair of starry eyes looked at Ao Qing who was full of hope.
Ao Qing ignored King Heng, only stared at Ling'er, Ling'er was just said by King Heng, or deliberately wanted to disobey him, deliberately said: "Where, sister, I am as big as a day, sometimes I really want to find such a fairyland to live in, which Japanese girl is tired and comes back to find the young master, you have to take in Ling'er." Ling'er looked at Ao Qing with a delicate face, her round apricot eyes with a slight smile, and she was fascinated by it.
"That's natural, from now on, my Ao Qing and Ling'er girls are best friends, and the door of Ao Zhai will be open for the girl at any time."
Ling'er ignored Ao Qing, and walked forward first, this child is simple-minded, she is also afraid that she will be burned when the time comes, if he knows that he is the palace master of Bihai Heavenly Palace, I don't know if he will stab him for what he just said to thank the clansmen, she doesn't want to hurt such a handsome guy.
A few people had a good footpath, and when they arrived at noon, they also visited most of Ao Village, and after seeing too much, Ling'er became more and more insensitive. It's far from what I imagined in my heart, I haven't seen armored warriors, and even the soldiers on patrol, some of them are just people who work, and they look very industrious and simple. Where are the ferocious savages who attack the Blue Sea Heavenly Palace every few years? Sometimes everything is just your own imaginary enemy, and when you really face it, you find that everything is so ridiculous.
"Ao Zhai has always been strong for outsiders to talk about, today it seems to be a paradise, not like the legendary scene, the young village master is also a benevolent master, Ao Zhai people are blessed." Even if she came, watched and watched, Ling'er still couldn't help but want to explore.
"My Ao Zhai naturally has his own set of methods, but this is not enough for a few people, please forgive me, but if he wants to beat the people in my village, then he can only kill himself." Ao Qing, who has always been simple and like a big brother in the neighborhood, has a majestic face at this time, and only then has he regained his original colors.
Because it became too fast, Ling'er even looked a little like in a dream, it seemed that she still underestimated this place a little, war still exists, and it is inevitable.
"You're tired too, so go down and eat something." Ao Qing took the three of them and turned into the depths of a bamboo forest.
Just now, Ling'er was surprised that there were not many houses along the way, and only then did she notice that each house was hidden in the jungle and not connected, and if you think about it, this is also a way for them to defend themselves. In the event of an invasion from outside, it would be almost impossible to wipe out so many scattered people at once.
The bamboo forest is a relatively normal place in Ao Village, at least in Ling'er's opinion, it is not so gloomy, and it is a little more elegant, but it is also very dark. The two-story main building has a very peculiar shape, and the only thing that makes Ling'er recognize is the monster with two eyes protruding from the top of the main building.
"This must be the totem of the belief of the people in Ao Zhai, I look at it with good eyes." Ling'er said to Ao Qing.
"The bright-eyed monkey, both human and monkey, is a sacred object of my Ao Village, and if there is danger to get close to her, a message will be sent." Ao Qing replied very easily.
After hearing this, Ling'er only felt that the hairs on her body were about to stand up, this is such a trouble, are they playing themselves like monkeys for a long time? But after thinking about it, no, this Ao Qing's speech and demeanor really can't be seen as contrived, hasn't the human monkey come to deliver the letter yet, or does she think she is a good person?
King Heng saw that Ling'er was looking at the main building and did not move, and he had already guessed her thoughts in his heart, and whispered and pretended to be concerned: "Little sister hurry up and go in to eat something, after eating, we will leave in a hurry, and we have been here for a long time, so it is not good to stay longer and delay the main business of the young village." ”
Ao Qing seemed to be very surprised that King Heng said that he was leaving, but he was speechless at first, and then said, "Since that's it, you're leaving?" There was a bit of a daze on his face.
Seeing that Ling'er was furious, I really didn't know whether I should go in or not, so it was better to say goodbye as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"Brother, you can come back, my father and I have been waiting for so long, a few of you hurry up and invite in, today I asked my sister-in-law to catch a big worm, the meat is tender and fat, there is nothing better in the world than this, but my Ao Zhai is unique." Ao Lan said proudly, but his eyes never left King Heng.
Ling'er was unhappy when she saw the boss in her heart, this Ao Zhai woman was really open, and she should send Qiu Bo to other men in front of everyone, and she was still hesitant to go in, but she didn't have to think about it at this time.
"What is this brother hesitating about, doesn't he think that my Ao Zhai place is shabby, and he can't tolerate such a noble status as you?" Ao Qing saw that King Heng was still hesitating, so he urged.
"It's too much to disturb, and I still have important things to do." King Heng still wants to shirk.
Mu Chenfeng took a step forward and pulled King Heng inside, "This little girl has taken a fancy to you, and it's hard to see if you want to stay today." ”
After everyone was seated, Ling'er had a large rectangular table in front of the meeting, and several people scattered to sit, sitting with Mu Chenfeng. Ao Qing and the old village owner sat at two ends, thinking that was more important. King Heng and Ao Lan sat together, especially the tableware in front of him, Ling'er paid attention to it, everyone was a bowl and chopsticks of different colors, but Ao Lan and King Heng were the same color.
"You have visited for a long time, how do you feel about the scenery of my Ao Village, Ao Village is not better than the good mountains and rivers outside, I am only in the past in the troubled times to escape here, and now I have a place to live, just live, don't laugh!" The lord of Ao Zhai seems to speak very humblely, but in fact, he is full of self-sufficiency and pride, and his beard shakes with laughter, making it more and more arrogant.
"The old village owner is too modest, your place is really more perfect than that paradise, and people are diligent, now the village owner is in the year, the young village master is a rare talent, Ao Zhai will be prosperous forever, Ao Zhai people will be happier than the generations!" Thousands of clothes, sycophants are not worn, Ling'er is the best at dealing with such old men, don't look at their full of ideas, but when they meet the coquettish tricks of the juniors and the sweetness of the mouth, there is no unhappy flowering.
"Hahaha, it's still Miss Ling'er who is the best at talking, you are also a person who walks the rivers and lakes, since you can lift me up like this, the old man believes in you today, and let me give the girl a drink." As he spoke, he held up a bowl slightly smaller than his face, which was full of wine.
Ling'er was dumbfounded suddenly, just talking good things to please others, it's over now, don't talk about leaving today after drinking this glass of wine, don't think about moving if you don't sleep for three days. Looking at the wine bowl in front of him in a daze, he said: "Old village master, how can the younger generation accept your toast, it's better to be like this, I respect you, but we have a saying that the first toast must be a wine order, whoever loses who drinks, it's fun to drink like this." "Rounding around the bush, Ling'er didn't dare to serve the wine bowl easily, as for the wine order, he really didn't lose.
"Oh? Since there are still such rules, it seems that in the end it is a place to study, which is more exquisite than my Ao Zhai, so it's up to you. ”
Ling'er first said the rules, so the two raised their chopsticks, and after a fight of "tigers, poles, chickens, and insects", they saw the owner of the village drinking bowl by bowl. Ling'er was playing happily on his face, but he was very anxious in his heart, how could this old guy drink so much, he saw more than ten bowls of stomach, and he was not drunk at all.
"Dad, stop drinking, things can come up, everyone is hungry." Ao Lan was obviously a little impatient, and stood up and muttered.
The old village owner who was still playing stopped chopsticks, drank a lifetime of wine, and really didn't have such fun as today, although he was a little reluctant, he had to wave his hand and said: "Let the big thing, although you have a good meal today, I have everything in Ao Zhai's food, just let go and eat."
Ling'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the stool gently.
"The horse's ass slapped on the horse's hooves, and today you can be regarded as meeting an opponent." Mu Chenfeng gloated and quipped.
"I want you to take care of it, eat your food well, and be careful to go out and clean you up." Ling'er looked outside the door, as if she smelled a pungent fragrance, saliva came out involuntarily, and she immediately began to look forward to it.
In this formation, about five or six servants came in with a large utensil, and the strange table was also a long table, which was originally for the convenience of this. When they put things in place, Ling'er glanced at the big thing from beginning to end, obediently, it was big enough, and there was a big python two meters long. However, it is obvious that it has been roasted with great effort, and if you don't look at the overall situation, the meat in front of you is also extremely tender.
Ao Lan looked at King Heng beside him unhappily, his eyes were always on Ling'er opposite, and he talked to him several times, but he ignored him. Thinking about which Ao Lan in Ao Zhai saw that he couldn't be called "Miss", which young descendant didn't nod his head and ran back and forth, why did he ignore himself today. The heart became more and more unhappy, but his subordinates became more attentive.
"Dare to ask this brother's name, Ao Lan only has one brother, but I hope for multiple brothers." Ao Lan said as she picked up a piece of snake meat and was about to put it on the plate in front of King Heng.
"Oh, in Xia Ding Heng, now I have a sister like Ling'er, it's inconvenient to have another sister, Miss Ao is also invited." King Heng replied simply and neatly, blocked Ao Lan's hand back, and went to get a piece of meat himself.
Ao Lanqi's face turned blue, and he looked at Ling'er opposite with hatred, one surnamed Ding, the other surnamed Ji, this girl obviously did not look like the sister of the previous one. He cared so much about her, there must be a ghost in it. After looking at it for a moment, he suddenly found that Ling'er was only in a daze at the snake meat, but he refused to move the chopsticks for a long time, and he understood in a moment. Then he stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Ling'er doesn't dislike my Ao Zhai's poor hospitality, such a big thing, you haven't moved your chopsticks for half a day, but you have to do something else, otherwise you will be starved by such a beauty, I'm afraid someone will be distressed." ”
When Ling'er heard this, she was obviously looking for fault, but she couldn't find the words to prevaricate, and smiled back, "What did my sister say, I'm just fasting for a long time and I'm not used to eating such meat suddenly, if I eat too greasy all of a sudden, I'm afraid I'll have a stomach." ”
Ao Qing only thought that her sister was saying that she felt sorry for Ling'er, and she was a little angry, so she stood up and said: "Come and serve some rice cracker porridge to Ling'er girl, it should be light, Lan'er, you have always been used to it, you are not happy to eat these without meat, it is naturally fine, Ling'er girl is raised in the deep boudoir, how can you compare with you." The implication is to let Ao Lan take care of herself.
Seeing that his brother reprimanded him, Ao Lan's face showed a gloomy color, so he just dismissed himself like this. In his heart, he felt that Ao Qing was stupid, and he felt that Ling'er was cunning, and he was about to attack when he stared at his big eyes angrily.
"It's quieter, the bigger it is, the more it doesn't look, it's rare to have a distinguished guest in the village today, what are you two messing about?"
In this way, the meal was stable, and Ling'er secretly rejoiced, it seems that the people here are quite normal.
For a while, the remnants of the meal were removed, everyone drank tea, and Ling'er thought about quickly thanking and leaving.
At this time, the owner of the old village suddenly spoke: "Ao Qing, Ao Lan, you both go out first, and your father has something to say to these three." "Ao Qing, although the Ao Lan brothers and sisters were 100,000 unwilling, but since my father spoke, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to stand up and move out slowly.
The air in the room instantly dropped to freezing, Ling'er said in her heart, this is bad, it seems that this old fox already knows the intention of us coming in, and it is a pleasure to enjoy the scenery and food and wine, and he only thinks he is a kind elder, but he didn't expect it to be a Hongmen banquet.
"Since the new palace master of Bihai Heavenly Palace is so young and promising, the old man is lucky!" The lord of Ao Zhai bowed to Ling'er.
Ling'er had to slap her swollen face and become fat, and she also gave a gift.
"Lord Heng and Young Master Mu came to my Ao Village, it is really an honor for my Ao Zhai people, and Old Man Rong is here to greet the two."
King Heng and Mu Chenfeng were very indifferent, and they both bowed back, and they didn't see any surprise at all. (To be continued.) )
