Chapter 118
9 [Goodbye] Mo Yin, would you like to?
When Pei Yi saw Xiao Moyin again, it was in the sun.
She sat on a large chair carved from wood, with a snow-white sheepskin underneath her, tilting her head slightly, and was talking to someone.
The sun shone on her face, and when the bloodless skin became a little transparent in the sun, she could even see the cyan blood vessels hidden under the skin. She looked very haggard, but she still cheered up and greeted the people who came to greet her.
Pei Yi had lived here for a year, and he hadn't seen the three elderly people standing in front of Xiao Moyin more than three times.
It was the head of the White Miao and his two Great Elders.
Their faces were worried, their faces were full of regret and helplessness, but Xiao Moyin, although the look on their faces was haggard, but they were a little relaxed.
Pei Yi only thought about it for a while, and then he knew why.
Bai Miao and Wu Miao were originally of the same origin and same root, but as early as a hundred years ago, the two clans fell out for something, and the small friction continued, and the hatred gradually accumulated, almost forming a feud.
It is rare that the Wumiao people want to gather Bai Miao's great witch as a wife, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which can make Bai Miao Wumiao, who has been hostile for a hundred years, shake hands and reconcile as a family.
Especially after the slaughter of the Miao and Dong tribes by Zhang Shixian a few years ago, the heads and elders of the Bai Miao and Wumiao are even more aware of the importance of the unity of the clans.
Unexpectedly, the hairless Erlenzi of Wumiaotou actually said that he would retreat and refuse to marry this family.
The white miaotou and the elders naturally turned white.
But Xiao Moyin didn't breathe a sigh of relief.
I don't know what Xiao Moyin said to the elders, they shook their heads and sighed and turned to leave.
Xiao Moyin raised her hand and lifted the hood covering her head, her originally black and shiny hair turned white, and the sunlight reflected on her hair, reflecting a few rays of silver light, almost blinding Pei Yi's eyes.
He grabbed the hanging branches of the big tree in front of him, and the rough sticks wore out his hands, but he didn't know it, and his eyes only looked at the young hair in a daze.
As if sensing his gaze, Xiao Moyin turned his face and met his eyes.
The face, which was not much bloody, suddenly lost its luster. Xiao Moyin put on her hood and called the attendant to carry her back to the room with the chair, and closed the door tightly.
Pei Yi didn't know how he got back to the wooden house, he opened the package he had packed, took out the simple bags that were not there at all, and returned them to everyone.
When the time came to deliver the meal, this time it was not Anuna, but a Miao girl he had never seen before.
Probably can't speak Chinese, no matter what Pei Yi says, she will only smile and shake her head, and ask him to eat well with her fingers.
He asked her Anuna and asked her Ayuduo, but the Miao girl just shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything.
The sun was sinking in the west, the moon was rising, he sat in the room, looking at the stars in the sky, waiting for the color of the canopy to change from dark to light, waiting for the sun in the sky to break free again, break through the clouds, and leap into the sky.
It was a long night for him, but it was also very short.
At dawn, the Miao guards held guns and knives, and respectfully but with a little rudeness invited him on the road.
Pei Yi shook his head: "I'm not leaving, I want to see you again." ”
No one listened to him, either really he didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
Seeing that there was no luggage in the house, those rough men saw what they were grabbing, so they casually tied a burden and carried it, and several people carried Pei Yi out of the house.
The valley shrouded in a thin mist could be seen from the top of the high mountain, and it was clear that he couldn't see so far away from here, but Xiao Moyin still sat on the top of the mountain, looking blankly at the roaring and cold mountain wind.
Anuna stayed by her side, wanting to speak several times.
"He's probably gone." It didn't take long for her to hear the words come from the mouth of the Great Witch.
"Great Witch." Anuna couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt down on one knee beside her, "Ah Youduo, since you like it, why don't you keep him?" I see that he clearly has you in his heart. ”
Xiao Moyin turned his head, raised his hand and gently brushed Anuna's head: "He doesn't belong here." ”
"He didn't want to go, he said he didn't want to go."
"I don't want to leave now, but what about later? One year, five years, ten years...... How long will his heart be at peace? Xiao Moyin shook his head, "I'm trapped in this mountain, it's my responsibility." He is a dragon and should not be trapped in the shallows. He was willing to stay, but because he was sympathetic and sorry for seeing me now. ”
"Anuna, I know you're thinking for me. But I don't want to see him suffer in the future, and hear him say regret, do you understand? ”
"I don't understand." Anuna covered her face and cried, "I only know that as long as we Miao people like someone, we will do everything we can to keep him and stay by our side." Who knows what will happen in the future? You are not him, how do you know that he will regret it, be sad, and complain in the future? Youduo, you are as affectionate as your mother, but you are far from her courage. ”
"Yes, I'm not as ......good as her," Xiao Moyin laughed, "I can't do anything well." You can't keep your beloved, and you can't fulfill your duties and missions. Anuna, I may not be able to have children with anyone else, and the elders will be disappointed. But I really can't. ”
"Great Witch!" Anuna took her hand and put the back of her hand on her forehead, "Listen to your heart, the elders will not force you to do this kind of thing." They didn't dare. ”
"Is there any other way to pick my heir? If I can't have children, I think there must be a way for the clan to choose a new shrine maiden. ”
"As far as I know, seventy years ago, your great-grandmother was not a child of the Great Witch."
Xiao Moyin leaned his head back on the chair and let out a long breath.
Three months later, Miaojiang Witch A Youduo came to the royal city of Dali.
Although Dawu and Dali are twin siblings of the same mother, one is the vassal king of Daqi and the other is the great witch of Miaojiang, and the relationship between them is more than just siblings.
This is the first time that Miao Xinjiang has produced a great witch with Han blood, and her younger brother is an important minister of the country, guarding a region in southern Xinjiang, and Daqi has the Xiao family in charge, which can ensure that southern Xinjiang is worry-free for at least a hundred years.
Since the farewell in Beijing, Xiao Moyin and Xiao Jian have not seen each other for a year and a half, and the two sisters and brothers, who were separated at a young age, are naturally full of joy and expectation for this reunion.
And the reason why I was able to invite Dawu to go this way is thanks to Princess Dali, whose delivery date is just a few days.
The first time the king of Dali became a father, he was nervous and a little scared, as the only two remaining bloodlines of the Xiao family, Xiao Moyin naturally wanted to rush over when he got the news to witness the birth of the heirs of the Xiao family.
Wei Anlan's belly is far out, and he is much plump. She looked weak, but her spirit was very strong, and perhaps the warm and humid climate of the south suited her, and she ate well and slept well, and she was simply refreshed and refreshed.
It's just that the couple doesn't know if all their attention is now only on the child who is about to be born, and no one remembers to tell her that there is a noble person who refuses to leave in Dali's palace. also unanimously turned a blind eye to her sudden half-white hair. No one asked her what had happened, and no one had their eyes on her hair for a moment.
This is the thoughtfulness of his younger brother and sister-in-law, and Xiao Moyin naturally receives their kindness.
I don't know if it's because I'm too happy to know that my aunt is here, or if I'm anxious to see the flower world outside, the night Xiao Moyin entered the palace, Wei Anlan had a seizure.
One night, people turned over on their backs, the soldiers were in a panic, and there was no scene outside the delivery room where the emperor had six gods and no master desperately circling in circles, because the king of Dali didn't care about the rules that those men couldn't enter the delivery room to see the blood, and from beginning to end, he sat beside the princess and accompanied her until their son let out the first loud cry.
The birth of the prince of Dali was celebrated, and Xiao Moyin was naturally overjoyed. Wei Anlan is a very tolerant person, other women shout when they give birth, but she only grabs her husband's hand, and she never hears her scream twice from beginning to end.
Just because she heard her mother-in-law say that if a woman screams too hard, it will suffocate the fetus and easily affect the child, so she made up her mind, continued to exercise before childbirth, and gritted her teeth during childbirth.
The child was born with six pounds and eight taels, and his appearance inherited the advantages of his parents, and he didn't know what kind of disaster he would grow up to become.
Xiao Ji is holding the child, but he can't love enough and can't see enough. The servants persuaded him not to hold the son, but he spat it away.
He has half of the unruly blood of the Miao people, lost his parents at a young age, wandered in the rivers and lakes, and later followed Pei Yi and Li Rui, and has seen everything in more than 20 years. For him, there is nothing more important in this world than his family.
Those rules, those etiquette, are all fart!
Xiao Moyin sat with Wei Anlan, the room was airtight, Wei Anlan was covered with a quilt, and his hair was soaked.
"My sister doesn't stay here, it's blood and sweat, it doesn't smell good." Wei Anlan pushed her out, Xiao Moyin only shook his head and said, "How can you be so exquisite." You are a noble member of our Xiao family, and my parents also have to thank you under Jiuquan. Anlan, you just gave birth to a child, you can't stand the wind, and you can't bear the discomfort on your body, just endure it, and just endure it for a month. ”
Wei Anlan smiled sweetly and responded.
Now that she has a husband and a child, she is content, and this little sin is but a sweet burden.
"Sister, what about you? Do you have someone you like? ”
Xiao Moyin was stunned, and the smile on his face faded.
"Nope."
"Oh......" Wei Anlan peeked at her, "Didn't you say that the great witches are all generations?" If you don't have someone you like, how can you have children in the future? Will they force you to ......"
Xiao Moyin smiled and patted her bedside: "You don't need to bother. I have selected two beautiful and intelligent girls with excellent qualifications in the clan, and I will send them to me in a few days to raise. The next Great Witch will choose one of them. ”
"Huh?!" Wei Anlan's eyes widened, "I don't need you to have a baby?" ”
Xiao Moyin shook his head: "You won't force me." Miao people are affectionate and righteous, and they will not force people to do things that she is unwilling to do. Okay, okay, what do you do when you ask so much, you don't have to hurt your spirit. Take care of it, I'm still waiting to drink my little nephew's full moon wine. ”
"Sister, can't you stay in Dali City for a little longer?" Wei Anlan stretched out his hand from the quilt and gently grabbed her, "Miao Jiang is peaceful and peaceful now, and there is nothing to do, they have passed well without a big witch in the past few years...... You don't have to worry too much about it. ”
Xiao Moyin was silent for a moment, and then withdrew his hand from Wei Anlan's palm: "You don't understand, what those mountains mean to me. ”
"Sister!"
"I'll stay until you're out of confinement." After speaking, Xiao Moyin stood up, waved his hand at her, and walked out.
Standing in the courtyard, she pressed her chest and frowned slightly.
The Tianxin Gu had dissolved in her body, and the little residual poison that was left was basically clean, but she didn't know why, she still felt a pain in her heart occasionally, as if someone had dug up a piece there, and the emptiness hurt.
She walked aimlessly along the black and white pebble path, and in the distance, she saw a small pond, which was paved with bluestone slabs and made a nine-curved corridor, reaching into the small octagonal pavilion in the middle of the pond.
The pavilion hangs a light cloud veil like smoke, flipped and fluttered lightly with the breeze, and the yarn danced heavily, standing a person, with a tall figure and hands on his back, I don't know how many times I have appeared when I dream back at midnight.
Even if it is turned into ashes, it will be recognized.
Isn't he supposed to be in the distant capital? Why is it still in the Dali Royal City, in the backyard of the Dali Palace?
Xiao Moyin wanted to turn around and leave, but his feet seemed to be stuck to something, and he couldn't move a minute.
Pei Yi turned around and smiled at her: "I finally saw you." ”
What about seeing it? It is still the bridge to the bridge, and the road to the road.
Pei Yi parted the light veil that floated over from time to time to cover his face, and slowly walked towards her.
"The emperor has sent me a new errand to inspect the southeast and southwest roads...... After that, I spent half a year patrolling and hunting on behalf of the sky, and half a year was stationed in southern Xinjiang. Mo Yin, I really like the room you arranged for me before, I don't know if it's still there? ”
Xiao Moyin looked at him in a daze, and tears flowed down unconsciously.
"I can only accompany you for half a year a year," Pei Yi raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face, "I think, maybe I should also build a champion mansion in your Miao Jiang." When I am not there, you are the Great Witch of Miaojiang, and in our Hou Mansion, you only need to be your Mrs. Hou with peace of mind. Mo Yin, would you like to? ”
The author has something to say: tired and tired...... I'm going to catch up on sleep, goodbye!!!!! Crying and running away.
