I have a request.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie swallowed what she wanted to say and looked at the mediocre-looking little girl in front of her.

Even if a sacrificial witch drum was shocking, she always couldn't remember what she looked like and couldn't remember this person.

There are too many girls in the Xie family, too many beautiful girls, and if Xie Rouqing is not the daughter of the second room in Dongfu, she would be even more unexpected.

When the Fan family said that they came to marry Xie Rouqing, she was also surprised.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie sighed a little abruptly.

A girl's life is just about to begin, and it is such a beautiful life, and it is suddenly stifled like this, who can stand it, and it is very uncomfortable to change her heart, not to mention that she is still a teenage girl.

"Rouqing, are you sad?" She said.

Xie Rouqing smiled and shook her head.

"No, eldest lady, I'm not sad." "I'm just sad," she said. ”

Sorrowful?

Mrs. Xie looked at her and sighed.

"I know it's hard for you little girls to accept." "But there's no way around it." ”

As she spoke, she reached open the curtain and hung down portraits on the high bookshelves.

Xie Rouqing looked up.

This is the first time she has walked into Lord Dan's study, and this is also the first girl from the Xie family to walk in here except for Dan Nu.

The portraits of the Dan lords of the past dynasties are hung here, and the cold tablets in the Yushan ancestral hall are different, and the women in the portraits are staying at the moment of the most beautiful years, fresh and smart.

Mrs. Xie walked over and looked at the portraits.

"Didn't your great-great-grandmother know the danger in the first place? But it still goes in and out of the mines. ”

"Earlier, in order to pray for the blessing of the people. The great witch sacrificed himself and burned himself. Chop off your own hands and feet. ”

"As a witch, you are destined from birth. Not for yourself, but for the people. ”

"As the daughter of the Xie family, the same is true, if it weren't for the sake of stabilizing the Dìng tribe and the people, I would be willing to sacrifice myself."

When she said this, she turned her head to look at Xie Rouqing.

"Rouqing, do you believe it or not, if I can't stop this collapse in the end, I will not hesitate to jump into the mine, and I will not hesitate to die?"

Xie Rouqing nodded.

"I believe it." She said, "I'm sure you and Lord Dan will be able to. Dare to do the same. ”

Mrs. Xie looked at her with a relieved expression.

"Madame, I'm not here to ask for anything for myself." Xie Rouqing continued.

"Don't worry, your exploits will be remembered by the Xie family, and your family will be in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Rouqing.

"No, Madam, that's not what I'm asking for." "I'm not doing it for my family. ”

Mrs. Xie was stunned.

Not for the family?

"Who is that for?." She asked.

"For the miners." Xie Rouqing said, "As you said, Madam, our Xie family is a great witch. It is the great witch who protects the miners and comforts the mountain gods, so now I am willing to sacrifice and comfort the mountain gods. Don't let the miners go anymore. ”

Mrs. Xie was stunned.

"But...," she said hesitantly.

"But are you afraid that my sacrifice will be useless? Then why do you want me to sacrifice? Xie Rouqing interrupted her again and asked.

Not useless, of course.

Mrs. Xie frowned.

"Since my sacrifice is useful, there is no need for more people to sacrifice." Xie Rouqing said.

Mrs. Xie looked at her.

"If that's what you think, I'm willing to fulfill you." She said.

Xie Rouqing smiled. Bow to Mrs. Xie.

"Thank you, ma'am." She said, "So I'm really not sad about the eldest lady. This is regarded as following the precepts of the ancestors and dying a well-deserved death. ”

She said goodbye with another salute. Turning and walking out, he walked to the door and looked back at the portrait hanging on the bookshelf.

"I'm just a little sad that not everyone is sacrificing like this, and I don't know it."

Since she entered the door, she said sad, why is it sad?

Mrs. Xie frowned slightly, thinking that although this child said that she was not sad, she was sad in her heart, so she found a reason why she was willing to soothe the mountain god for the miners to obey the ancestral teachings, since this reason could soothe her, then let her be.

"Someone." She said as she walked out of the study.

The girls who retreated at the gate of the courtyard immediately stepped forward.

"Tell me to go down and start preparing for the sacrifice tomorrow." Mrs. Xie said.

In response, the girls hurriedly dispersed to inform everyone that there were many things to prepare for a sacrifice.

Mrs. Xie looked at the darkness of the night, and folded her hands and reverently reverently and silently.

May Wu Qing Niangniang bless the Xie family through this crisis.

………………………………

When the sun was shining, Xie Roujia was bored walking around the boat.

It didn't take long to walk well, but the boat broke down again.

This excuse is too fake.

"Miss, you don't have to go back and forth, don't worry." Shui Ying said, pointing to the side again, "Look, the eldest lady is fishing on the boat." ”

Xie Roujia looked over and saw that on the small boat parked on the side, Xie Rouhui was really sitting on a small stool fishing, two girls were holding umbrellas for her, and a few girls were fanning on the side, and there were melons and fruits on the side of the case.

As if sensing the sight here, Xie Rouhui raised her head, collided with Xie Roujia's gaze, and smiled slightly.

Xie Roujia didn't avoid her gaze, but also smiled.

This surprised Xie Rouhui, who withdrew her gaze and threw up the fishing rod.

Shui Ying burst out laughing.

"Didn't catch it." She said.

Xie Roujia didn't look at Xie Rouhui again, left the deck and walked back to the cabin, and just after entering the door, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, and someone rushed in.

She raised her head and saw Shao Mingqing.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

After asking this sentence, I found that Shao Mingqing's whole person was a little wrong.

He was shaking, and his face was ugly, and there were large pieces of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Xie Roujia was taken aback. She had never seen Shao Mingqing like this.

"What's wrong with you? Is it sick? She grabbed him and shouted.

The tentacles found that Shao Mingqing's whole person was trembling.

Xie Roujia was shocked and dragged him to the bed. shouted loudly again.

Shao Mingqing refused to move, and grabbed her arm with his backhand. He opened his mouth to say something, but it seemed that his teeth were stumbling and he couldn't say it.

Shui Ying also rushed in, and was also startled when she saw Shao Mingqing like this.

"What's wrong with you, young master? Don't scare me! She cried out.

Xie Roujia took a deep breath.

"Don't cry, don't be afraid, he's frightened." She said, because she couldn't pull out her hand, she simply stuck over and hugged Shao Mingqing, reciting a soothing ballad.

Shui Ying bit her finger and watched from the side, seeing that Shao Mingqing gradually stopped trembling, although his face was still pale, he was relieved.

Shao Mingqing. What's going on? Xie Roujia asked anxiously and helped him sit down on the edge of the bed.

Shao Mingqing's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand.

Xie Roujia saw that he was holding a ball of paper in his hand.

"She, she's going to die." Shao Mingqing said in a dumb voice, his voice still trembling.

Who?

Xie Roujia grabbed the paper ball in his hand, a small piece of paper, crumpled and wet with sweat, almost unrecognizable.

There was an accident in the mine, and Rouqing sacrificed.

Xie Roujia's brain thumped.

"No wonder the boat is moving so slowly...."

"It's not that the family isn't ready for it..."

"It's because there is a mining accident at home that hasn't been dealt with yet...."

Shao Mingqing's intermittent hoarse voice sounded in her ears.

"The Xie family is going to use human sacrifice, they are going to use human sacrifice."

This is not unusual. The Xie family has used human sacrifice more than once.

Xie Roujia was in a trance.

"They actually want Rouqing to sacrifice....it's Rouqing."

It's soft.

It turns out that Rouqing died like this?

No wonder she never heard from Rouqing again.

Did something big happen to my family's mine at that time?

Xie Roujia recalled vigorously that at this time in that life, her sister had been dead for a long time, and March 3 had also passed. She doesn't have to show up in front of people more and more, and she doesn't know what's going on at home.

It seems that her mother has come to see her once at this time, but she is just standing outside the door. Didn't speak, looked angry. His eyes were full of hatred.

Later, her father came and took her away.

“… It's all because she....the mountain god knows that we've changed....that's why he's angry..."

She hid behind the door and heard her mother's angry growl, which was quickly muffled by her father. And then they went away.

Her mother didn't come to see her again.

She was scared and miserable and wanted to die, and she had no intention or way to inquire about what was going on.

I see.

Someone stood up sharply beside him, bringing a gust of wind.

"Young Master!" Shui Ying shouted.

Xie Roujia saw Shao Mingqing rushing out, and he held a short sword in his hand at some point.

"Shao Mingqing!" She rushed over and grabbed him.

"If they kill her, I will kill them." Shao Mingqing looked at her, his eyes red, "Xie Roujia, do you believe it or not?" ”

Xie Roujia's tears poured out unexpectedly.

She nodded.

I believe, I believe.

Is this what makes him very angry and angry? It turned out that he was bent on destroying the Xie family, was it for her?

"....she has been well-behaved since she was a child... She has been thinking about it since she was a child... Others looked at her coldly, saying that she was as weird as her appearance... But she's the best she's ever been to me..."

When I was a child, I resented my birth mother, resented her for not being ashamed, resented my father, and only wanted to be greedy for herself... Resentment of my titular mother... Eating fast and reciting Buddha in the mouth is a snake and scorpion heart...."

“… I was like a ghost, hiding in the daylight and couldn't find a place, looking at a qiē viciously....it was she who came up to me and took my hand... Sue sù I said that my brother is so ugly..."

Xie Roujia looked at Shao Mingqing and burst into tears.

“… I said you were so ugly, and she said that I was ugly....but she said that no matter how beautiful a person is, she was pitiful....she was so little at that time... I secretly hit her a few times... She also hit me a few times... I didn't complain to anyone....I don't think people in the world are all so boring...."

"....Xie Roujia... If it weren't for her... There is no me now....the current Shao Mingqing, who is standing in front of you, is considered to be smart and kind..."

Xie Roujia nodded and hugged his arm.

"I know, I know." She cried.

Shao Mingqing's hand pressed her arm.

"So, Xie Roujia, don't stop me, I know what you've been holding me back for." He said word by word, clenching the short sword in his hand, "I'm going to save her now, whoever stops me, I won't show mercy, whoever kills her, I will let whoever loses his life, and the Xie family is no exception." ”

He looked at Xie Roujia.

"Xie Roujia, don't force me to aim my sword at you."

Xie Roujia watched him burst into tears again. (To be continued......)
