Chapter 36: Does Madame want to drive me away?
At night, the night sky is full of stars, and the top of Yaoshen Mountain is brightly lit.
Because of Elder Ding's betrayal, the Medicine God Department was undergoing an internal purge, and many people who were still there yesterday evaporated from the world the next day, silently, which shrouded the entire mountain under a solemn cloud.
However, there was finally a happy event today: the eldest lady successfully passed the Wu Clan's forbidden land test.
The patriarch ordered a feast, and the medicine god mountain celebrated for three days.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, the only thing that still needed to be remembered was that the eldest lady should never be called eldest miss, especially in front of the young man who didn't know where he came from.
Violators will be caught by the eldest lady and fed to the bugs.
In the main hall, the hero sat in the main guest seat, next to the Wu Que Er and Wu Kite'er sisters, and the next one was the elders and backbones of the Medicine God Department.
He turned back into that ordinary man's face, and claimed to be the young owner of a medicinal herb firm in Shuangzhou, surnamed Xiong, called Xiong Aotian.
The first time he heard Lady Gentian introduce himself like this, his toes of shame almost pulled out a three-room apartment, but since "Aotian" was the most common and common name in Middle-earth, no one among the elders would be surprised.
As for why the identity of a medicinal herb merchant was made up, it was to facilitate the return of the contact with the Immortal Pill.
The longevity pill is produced in Rongzhou, and it is also forbidden in the Ministry of Medicine, but there are still many witch sacrifices in some backward and primitive mountain tribes that are refining and using.
In the hero's eyes, the biggest threat to the temple is not the "combination of man and beast", after all, the success rate of that thing is not high, and what really makes him unable to settle in his heart is the immortal pill.
This medicine is a weapon of mass destruction, and it is silent, once it spreads in Middle-earth, the temple no longer needs the faith of the gods, and a single pill can rule over hundreds of millions of people.
At that time, the temple will be impregnable.
The banquet was staggered, and the elders were still jealous of what the hero had easily made them unable to resist before, so they were not very enthusiastic about him.
This made Wu Qi'er very unhappy, so she simply ran to the hero and sat down, and coquettishly asked him to feed herself wine.
Seeing this, the elders looked at each other, and the positioning of the hero in their hearts suddenly became clearer-the uncle of the Medicine God Department.
However, would a person with such a strange and powerful strength be willing to marry into the Medicine God Mountain?
"Brother Xiong, why can't you drink before you are eighteen years old? You are deliberately bullying me, I don't follow! ”
Wu Qi'er held the hero's arm and did not let go, her eyes staring at the flask on the table, and swallowing her saliva.
She has been drinking for many years, and she is very fond of drinking, especially the home-brewed fruit wine in the mountains, which is sweet and sour, and she can drink a big pot every time.
However, since she met the hero, as long as there is this goods, she is strictly forbidden to touch the wine glass, on the grounds that she can't drink it before the so-called age of eighteen.
The girl was angry, she felt that the hero was deliberately embarrassed. It's just that you can't get married before the age of eighteen, why can't you even drink alcohol before the age of eighteen?
"If I say no, I can't."
The hero did not back down, poured a large cup in front of her, and took a sip of wine very comfortably.
He wondered how long this game of pretending to be a child could be played.
Wu Que'er's cheeks bulged like a pufferfish, glared at him viciously for a while, and then angrily gathered all the dishes and fruits on the table in front of him.
If you don't let the old lady drink, the old lady won't let you eat vegetables, hum!
The hero laughed, drank by himself, and enjoyed the unique Rongzhou song and dance, which was made by her.
On the throne, Madame Gentian Yuguang had been paying attention to the interaction between the two, and gradually, her eyebrows were twisted.
Because she found that the hero's liking and doting on his daughter was natural, obviously from the heart, but she didn't see the slightest love between men and women.
The hero is still only a child.
As the night wore on, and the feast had not yet ended, Wu Qi'er came over and whispered in Wu Qi'er's ear that there was a slight problem in the accommodation arranged for the hero, and Wu Qi'er immediately couldn't sit still, so she made up a random reason and left the table.
Of course, she couldn't really let the hero live in a dog cage, but asked someone to build a new small building behind her stilted building, with windows facing windows, so close that they could lie on the bed and chat, as if they were sleeping next to each other.
No matter how bold and hearty her personality is, she is still a girl after all, and the reserve of the bottom line must be adhered to.
Without the girl making a fuss next to him, the hero felt that he had no taste for drinking, and was about to find a reason to quit early, but when he looked up, he found that Lady Gentian was no longer there.
A maid came over and said that the patriarch had asked him to meet him in the side hall. He raised his eyebrows, asked Jia Qiao and Yaoguang to wait in place, got up and followed the maid away.
When they came to the side hall, the maid bowed down and retreated, and closed the door.
Madame Gentian reclined on a soft couch, her graceful figure undulating in the mountains under the colorful skirt. She frowned, her eyes were slightly closed, and her slender jade fingers pressed against her temples, as if she was overwhelmed by alcohol, and her weakness was distressing.
The hero's eyes were fixed on the snake carving on the armrest of the soft couch, and Shi Li asked, "I don't know what the aunt has to call the younger generation?" ”
"There are no outsiders here, Your Highness doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat." Madame Gentian lazily pointed to the seat beside her, her eyes still not open.
"Aunt Xie."
The hero walked over with his head down, and his eyes accidentally swept over the white jade-like toes of Lady Gentian, and his heart couldn't help but jump.
Wu's mother and daughter don't seem to like to wear shoes, and they step on the ground with bare feet every day, but not only is their skin not rough, but they are also white and flawless, spotless, and they don't know how to maintain them on weekdays.
When the hero was seated, Madame Gentian clapped her hands, and then a dozen maids walked out of the back of the hall one after another.
Each of them carried a box of different sizes and lengths, but all of them were exquisite.
They lined up in front of the hero, and then opened the box in their hands in unison.
When the hero looked at it, he saw that the boxes contained many strange things, bones, hay, and dried corpses of all kinds of insects, and one of them, a hideous centipede, was more than four feet long.
"Auntie, may I ask what these are?" He asked curiously.
"These are all precious medicinal materials that are special products of my Rongzhou, and each box is the best among them, worth 10,000 gold."
Madame Gentian finally opened her eyes, sat up straight, looked at him seriously, and said, "Of course, these things are not enough to reward Your Highness for your kindness, but my Medicine God Department is poor, and these are the best treasures that can be handled, and I hope Your Highness will not dislike it." ”
The hero was slightly stunned, and then narrowed his eyes: "Madame, are you trying to drive me away?" ”
