Chapter 102: People in the Rivers and Lakes (22)
"As a result, something went wrong, and many of the disciples in the clan were a little unacceptable, among them, Chuan Yan was the most, and she couldn't accept it at all!
Moreover, she had to say that Qing'er was not her daughter, and her daughter was replaced! even had to kill Qing'er, if it weren't for Fu Jue's family's accidental sight and saving Qing'er, the old man wouldn't dare to think about it!
Since then, we didn't dare to let her see Qing'er, and she has been crazy for fifteen years. ”
"Fu Jue's?" Northern Sichuan respects women, and this kind of title doesn't sound like a native of northern Sichuan.
"It's an outsider," the Great Elder saw that Du Ruo seemed to be interested in this person, and just as he also wanted to talk to Du Ruo more, he continued to follow this person: "Count, it should have been eighteen years ago, right?" It was a summer day, the old man remembered that it was just in time for a small half a month of rain, the Jiangbei flood, many people left their hometowns to seek a way to live, Fu Jue's family was with the old and young people of the same village to our northern Sichuan, almost more than 20 people almost 30 mouths, their whole village is an adult man left, the patriarch saw that his heart was soft, so he gave them a little place, so that they were self-sufficient,
At the beginning, the clan never had any communication with them, and then the clan heard that many people who had left their hometowns had returned to their homeland, so they also wanted to ask them to leave, but they kept delaying, we also felt that it was not easy for orphans and widows to take care of their children, so we tolerated it again and again, and then there was a matter of Fu Jue's family saving Qing'er, because the two sides gradually had contacts with each other, and the patriarch did not force them to leave! This year after year, it is peaceful, and it can be regarded as two points of affection. ”
"Well, don't you know if any of those people left later?"
The Great Elder's face was solemn, and he felt that he might have guessed the purpose of the fourth master's personal visit, and carefully recalled it before replying: "I went out, three years ago, nine seventeen or eighteen male babies went out together, saying that they wanted to go out to break through, so as to live up to their ancestors, and once they left, it usually takes a whole year, and they will only come back every New Year's Day!" ”
"Are they there now?"
"No, but it should be soon, and from previous years, it will be about three or four days away."
"Thank you, Great Elder, look at me, it's not over as soon as I ask."
"Hey! It's okay, the old man likes to chat! ”
Du Ruo saw that the fourth master was coming towards her, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the great elder and greeted her.
"All the best?"
"Half and half."
"I guess there will be changes tomorrow morning~" With the questioning gaze of the fourth master of the cat, Du Ruo obediently told him everything that had just happened, what she had heard, and even her own speculation and deliberate temptation.
"If that Qing'er is really not true, then the bond that brought the two parties closer to each other does not exist, no, where does it just not exist?" If the patriarch knew that his own granddaughter, or the granddaughter who inherited her patriarch's talent, was left out because of that woman or even the figurine, and she didn't know life and death, and what she had been raising with love all these years was actually the enemy's child... Heh~ I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it.
"Everything has not yet been distinguished, let's wait and see." The fourth master then asked: "There are still three or four days away to come back?" ”
"That's what the Great Elder said, but the movement of us coming in today is not small, I'm afraid that they will spread the news."
"Qingyan leads people to guard, they can only go in, and they can't get out, whether it's people or news." The fourth master slapped the red slip he had just received on the table: "If the people with the two flags in the village can't keep it, they don't have to go back." ”
After a while, Shen Ruqing and the others also came back one after another, and the five of them got together to share the news they had obtained, and before they could talk deeply, the person sent by the Great Elder to invite them to the banquet arrived.
The people of northern Sichuan eat spicy, it can be said that they are not spicy or happy, and the four masters are sweating profusely in the winter, and they only got the yellow lantern chili sauce at noon, and it is as if it has been cooked for a long time.
When the full moon is in the sky, the sound of silk and bamboo continues, coupled with the characteristic singing and dancing, and the turbid but not astringent wine, it unconsciously makes people like this night, this place and these people.
Early the next morning, Du Ruomeng was born.
Looking at the black-haired woman in front of him who claimed to be the patriarch and asked for a drop of her blood, Du Ruo felt that he might still be in a dream and hadn't woken up.
No, I said yesterday that I looked alike with that lady, but that's what I said, how can you really believe it? Do you know how low the chance of a stolen baby finding it home on its own?
"North Sichuan believes in wind spirits, and we believe that the heart will tell us the answer."
“···” No, your heart is lying to you!
Du Ruo saw that this person was not going to change his mind, and immediately cast his eyes for help to the fourth master, and the fourth master pressed the tea and got up: "The patriarch asked for my fiancée's blood to try the lotus." "Fifteen years ago, the rivers and lakes were well-informed sect families, and they didn't know what method was used to elect the patriarch in northern Sichuan, not by the family, not by relatives and friends, and not by the Venerable Master's patriarch, as if it was natural selection, and fifteen years later, a 'farce', but all the well-informed people knew the theory of 'trying the lotus', and they all determined this 'natural selection'.
"Yes."
"Since the patriarch told him bluntly, then Wu also has something to say, don't worry about it, there are a lot of sworn enemies of Wu in northern Sichuan, and Wu doesn't worry about the patriarch taking away the blood of his fiancée."
"What do you want?"
"First, Wu must always accompany his fiancée, and second, Du Ruo's blood must always be within Wu's visible range until it is poured on the lotus."
"No way!" A white-haired woman suddenly rushed in: "Lotus trial is a big thing in the clan!" The Holy Lotus is a holy relic in the clan! No outsiders are present! ”
Du Ruo looked at the old grandmother angrily at the fourth master, and directly flashed forward to block in front of the fourth master of the cat, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "But I don't know how to wait, the blood of me, an outsider, it is better not to contaminate the holy relics of the Ling clan." ”
"You female doll, you don't even understand the elders, it's not like words! Patriarch, why are you also fooled by Ah Yan! Qing'er is more filial and well-behaved children! Where is this I don't know where to fight can be compared? How sad it would be if you did this to let Qing'er know about her! ”
"No, my heart tells me that what Ah Yan said is right, she is my granddaughter."
"Patriarch!"
"Owner, I agree with your conditions, the eldest grandmother is ready in the lotus pond, how about we go and try the lotus now?"
Du Ruo was quite satisfied with the patriarch's attitude, so he let go of his body and revealed the fourth master of the cat.
