Chapter 217: Letting Down
Dugu Chiyan wanted to get up by himself, but it was a little difficult to sit up, Ji Ruhuan hurriedly stepped forward to support the Nine Emperor Uncles, with a worried face.
I heard the Wu clan patriarch speak, "I just woke up the poisonous Gu in my body, and you don't need hibiscus cream, now it must be in pain, and when you go back and soak in the medicinal bath to suppress the poisonous Gu, it will be better." ”
Dugu Chiyan nodded and responded, "There is a Lao patriarch." ”
At this time, Chunxiao, who came in one step later, also stepped forward and supported his master with Ji Ruhuan.
Seeing the master's appearance, Chunxiao planned to let Dongxue go back and bring the stretcher, but was stopped by Dugu Chiyan, so Chunxiao and Ji Ruhuan went back to the courtyard where they lived temporarily.
The medicine for the medicinal bath was quickly delivered, and it was really as the Wu clan patriarch said, after soaking in the medicinal bath, he suppressed the poisonous Gu.
Four or five days passed, seeing that the Nine Emperor Uncles were getting more and more energetic day by day, and the Wu clan had no other actions, Ji Ruhuan was almost completely relieved.
However, not everyone has let down their vigilance, just like Jin Ling, as time passes, she is more careful.
On this day, the Wu clan suddenly came and invited Ji Ruhuan, Jin Ling and others to participate in the banquet in the evening.
Of course, Dugu Chiyan, who is recuperating from his injuries, is not invited.
Although Ji Ruhuan didn't have much interest in participating in this kind of banquet, it was not easy to refuse, so he agreed.
Originally, Ji Ruhuan planned to take Xiaohua over, but Dugu Chiyan was a little worried about Xiaohua who couldn't turn his brain, so he simply let Xiaohua stay, and let Ji Ruhuan bring a more stable autumn frost with him.
The Wu banquet was not like the banquets that Ji Ruhuan had attended in Kyoto before.
The banquet was held in an open space with a large bonfire in the middle.
The men and women of the Wu clan who attended the banquet were all dressed up.
Around the campfire are long tables with various kinds of food.
Many young Wu men and women sang and danced around the bonfire, adding a touch of beautiful scenery to the banquet.
As soon as Ji Ruhuan and Jin Ling passed, someone from the Wu clan beckoned them to pass, and sat down at the table on the side of the Wu clan patriarch.
The patriarch of the Wu clan greeted with a smile, "The two of you are both Wu people, you don't have to be restrained, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, our Wu clan custom will hold a bonfire banquet on the first day, but it's a pity that the witch saint has been missing for many years, and now she has finally returned, everyone is very happy." ”
Jin Ling replied with a light smile, "I didn't see it, it turns out that the Wu clan still takes such a fancy to the Holy Maiden, I remember that my sister and I don't know how many pursuits we encountered." ”
In the face of Jin Ling's sarcasm, the smile on the face of the patriarch of the Wu clan did not change at all, and he replied with a light smile, "That's all a misunderstanding, the original intention was to find the holy woman, but in the end, there are still people with bad intentions, otherwise there would be no traitors in our Wu clan." ”
The patriarch of the Wu clan continued to say to Jin Ling, "These old things have long been a thing of the past, so I won't mention them, the old man didn't expect that he would be able to see you after so many years, which can be regarded as fate, come, the old man will give you a cup, which can be regarded as making amends for the things of the year." ”
After speaking, the patriarch of the Wu clan picked up the wine glass in his hand, and the wine glass in front of Jin Ling had already been filled with wine for her.
When it came to this, Jin Ling didn't want to give face to the Wu clan patriarch at all, so he took the wine glass, symbolically touched the Wu clan patriarch, and drank it in one gulp.
After that, several clan elders around the patriarch, who knew Jin Ling, also raised their wine glasses, or toasted or made amends.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere was a lot more harmonious, and some people began to toast Ji Ruhuan, the holy woman, in such a lively atmosphere, Ji Ruhuan had a good amount of alcohol, and he also drank a lot.
After that, Ji Ruhuan was also dragged by the enthusiastic witch girls to dance in the middle of the bonfire for a while.
After almost three rounds of drinking, the patriarch of the Wu clan said, "Since it is the Midyear Festival, we want to sacrifice to the ancestors, and by the way, we will record the identity of the saint in the family tree, and ask the saint to go to the ancestral hall of the Wu clan with us later." ”
After participating in a sacrifice, Ji Ruhuan did not refuse, but at night, Ji Ruhuan still hesitated and said, "Isn't tomorrow the Midyear Festival?"
The patriarch of the Wu clan said, "Of course, tomorrow will also sacrifice to the sky, tonight is mainly to record the identity of the saint in the family tree, tomorrow may have to bother the saint to participate in the sacrifice ceremony, by the way, officially take over as the saint of the Wu clan." ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at Sister Ling on the side and said, "Is it so cumbersome?"
Seeing that Sister Ling didn't refute, she must have been so troublesome.
Sure enough, someone came after a while, and after saluting everyone, he said, "Patriarch, the ancestral hall is ready, just waiting for you to bring the holy woman over." ”
The patriarch of the Wu clan nodded, then stood up and said to Ji Ruhuan, "Please ask the holy woman to go with the old man." ”
Ji Ruhuan stood up and nodded in response, "Let's go." ”
Qiu Shuang remembered her master's instructions, stood up and followed behind Ji Ruhuan.
Jin Ling drank a few glasses of wine, but she was a little dizzy, and wanted to stand up, but she sat down again and held her forehead.
Ji Ruhuan looked at Sister Ling like this, and hurriedly said, "Sister Ling, I'll just go by myself, you don't have to follow." ”
After speaking, Ji Ruhuan followed Qiushuang and followed the patriarch of the Wu clan who was already waiting in front.
Jin Ling rubbed her temples and muttered, "Why is the amount of alcohol so shallow today?"
After speaking, he looked at his entourage guard uneasily, and said, "You go and take a look." ”
The entourage guard was none other than Feng Miao, the old man of Tianji, seeing Jin Ling's appearance, where could she rest assured that she would stay here alone, so he went over and helped Jin Ling and said, "I'll send you back first." ”
Jin Ling frowned and was about to refute, but she was no longer allowed to refuse, and was helped up by Feng Miaozhi.
The guards helped Jin Ling to stand up, greeted the clan elders who were left behind, and helped Jin Ling to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying.
At this time, Ji Ruhuan followed Qiushuang and was taken around by the patriarch, and finally arrived at the gate of a courtyard, the patriarch in front turned around and said, "This is the ancestral hall of the Wu clan, sorry, this girl is not a member of the Wu clan, she can't enter the ancestral hall, there is a courtyard next to it for a temporary rest, the girl will go to the courtyard next to it for the time being." ”
Qiu Shuang looked at Ji Ruhuan with some uneasiness, but Ji Ruhuan had already relaxed her vigilance when the Wu clan patriarch was trying his best to treat the Nine Emperor Uncle's poisonous Gu, looked at Qiu Shuang and said, "If you can't follow, you can go over and wait, I'll go and look for you when it's over." ”
After speaking, Ji Ruhuan walked into the courtyard by herself, thinking that it would end early, and she would go back to see the Nine Emperor Uncles, and she didn't know if the Nine Emperor Uncles had rested.
Qiu Shuang watched Ji Ruhuan enter the courtyard by herself, the courtyard door slowly closed, and her brows furrowed slightly on her usually indifferent face, but the people from the Wu clan next to her had already spoken, "Girl, please come here." ”
