CHAPTER XX
In the land of the mountain pass, nearly 100 earthen bags were neatly piled together along the foot of the mountain, and the ancestor led the clansmen to kneel in front of the earthen bags and kowtowed three heads. The dead people of the Xiling Luming clan were soothed by sorrow, fate is always cruel to some people, but fate is merciful to others. Life and death in the world are aimed at the destiny of heaven, and sooner or later no one can say clearly, but this cruel world cannot change anything.
The stone kiln built by the Qianxi tribe in the past year has become the clan of the Xiling Luming clan, and the ancestor stood on the head of the kiln and said: "Sacrifice, how many days does it take for the kiln nest to be completed?" ”
The sacrifice said: "It will take half a month, and the kiln is divided into four villages according to the east, west, south and north, and the village heads are arranged by Wu Zhu. ”
"Okay, step up the construction of the kiln, and it must be completed before the winter snow."
The priest arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, young master." ”
At this time, the old man of the Tu Ji clan led Tu Meixiu over, and he stepped forward and said, "Young master, the nest has been cleaned up, and a few people in charge of the clan can enter the account." ”
The ancestor turned around and glanced at the tent nest not far away and said, "How many people from the clan can be in the tent?" ”
The old man of the Tu Halberd clan said: "Yes, several people in charge of the clan are already waiting for the young master in the tent. ”
Feng Qi stepped forward and said: "Master, the Demon Slaying Banner has been placed in the sheds on both sides of the kiln gate, I don't know what else the master commands?" ”
The ancestor said: "You are the leader of the Demon Slaying Banner, you don't need to tell me everything, you can discuss with the left and right protectors if you have something." ”
Feng Qi looked at the ancestor and was stunned, he blinked his eyes and said, "Yes, thank you for your master's trust, Feng Qi knows." ”
Let's say, under the Jishui Dong'a Ridge, the meandering Weishui River is clear and rippling, and the mountains and rivers reflected in the river seem to be like a mirror in a picture, the white and flawless white clouds are extremely delicate on the river surface, and the jellyfish on the stream surface sweep by, outlining the ripples of the road to extend the bank, and instantly restore the calm of the stream.
Three people came from Guxi, chatting while walking, and the laughter echoed in the mountains and rivers. The leading boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, followed by several teenagers of the same age, and a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man.
The three of them jumped onto a large bluestone in the middle of the stream, put down their javelins and looked around, loosened their grass skirts and animal skin boots, and washed their faces and feet in the breeze. The icy stream soaked into the skin, and several people shouted from time to time.
A thirty-year-old man led two people, a man and a woman, along the path on the edge of the riverbank, he looked at the three people in the river, shook his head, called two servants behind him, and brought the meat to him. The man watched his servant go down the stream and was about to leave, but was stopped by a young girl behind him.
"Uncle Jishan, why don't you let me send it, what do you mean?"
Ji Shan looked at the unhappy woman and said, "A female baby, pestering Xuanyuan every day, is not afraid of the jokes of the clan." ”
"What kind of laughter, whoever likes to laugh, let him laugh, I like Brother Xuanyuan, why am I hiding it."
Ji Shan said impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you like it, go to him, tell me that these are useful?" ”
"You, oops, Uncle Jishan, you can help your sister-in-law, okay?"
Ji Shan said: "Then Jiu'er likes you?" Why do you keep staring at Xuanyuan, you know that Xuanyuan doesn't mean that to you. ”
"I don't care, I just like Brother Xuanyuan." After speaking, she walked angrily towards the clan under the hill.
Not far away, Dahong, the household secretary, watched his concubine run past him angrily, and he walked over with a smile and asked, "Lord Himeyama, have you been entangled by your concubine again?" ”
Ji Shan waved his hand and said: "This child is good at everything, but she is too stubborn, alas, she grew up with Xuanyuan, and followed Xuanyuan every day like a fart, and now she has grown into a big girl, she has thoughts, and she is pestering me to help her marry Xuanyuan, you say, what should I do with this, alas, the children are all older and have thoughts." ”
Dahong put his hands behind his back and said: "Yes, the children have grown up in a blink of an eye, and some things have their own opinions, we really can't control it, if we manage it well, it will be good, and if we don't manage it well, we will leave a tongue, forget it, let them go." ”
Ji Shan looked at Dahong and asked, "By the way, are you here to find me?" ”
Dahong nodded, he looked around and said, "The day before yesterday, I found traces of the Jiuli people in the East Village, and I was worried that Chi You was secretly doing something. ”
Ji Shan frowned and said, "Oh, there is such a thing, it seems that it is necessary to remind Xuanyuan, it is always a good thing to take precautions earlier?" ”
Dahong sighed and said: "I'm afraid you have to say this, this kid's heart is too high, I'm worried that he will cause trouble?" ”
Patriarch Ji Shan hummed and said: "Since Xuanyuan defeated Chi You that time, the whole person has changed, blind and arrogant, so ambitious, I have been worried about this for a while. The two sighed to each other and walked towards the village.
By the river, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Cangjie, and the high priest often ate the meat sent first, and the three of them beckoned to the servant who delivered the meat, signaling that he could go back. The food servant bowed his hand and quietly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The sister-in-law returned to her own shed, she was lying on the wooden couch a little unsettled, and the grandmother came in from outside the shed with a food basket, she glanced at the angry sister-in-law on the wooden couch, and sat quietly on the couch while picking vegetables and asked: "Xuanyuan is a good man, you have him in your heart, so tell him generously, why torture yourself?" ”
"Mama, I like Brother Xuanyuan, but he is the young patriarch, I don't dare to say it."
Mama squinted and glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with the young patriarch, the young patriarch is a man, and if he is a man, he must have a woman, I think that the young patriarch needs my sister-in-law, and only my sister-in-law is worthy of being his Xuanyuan woman." ”
"Mama, or Mama feels sorry for her sister-in-law, unlike my mother, who always asks me to stay away from Brother Xuanyuan, I wonder if I am her own child, huh?"
While speaking, a woman walked in from outside the shed, and said without raising her eyes: "Hmph, hum is useless, Xuanyuan Young Patriarch is not an ordinary woman who can climb high, die early This distraction, lest you regret hurting your heart in the future." ”
"Mama, look at my mother, she always says this about me?" She turned around and ignored her grandmother and mother.
After hearing this, Mama threw the vegetable basket in her hand on the wooden table and said: "Gongsun's family is a big family, Xuanyuan is the young patriarch of the Xiong family, what's wrong with him being the young patriarch, I still think he is not worthy of my sister-in-law, the children have grown up, don't easily interfere with their ideas, do you still want the children to learn from you?" ”
"Mother, you, why did you talk about me, I didn't do it for her good." The mother-in-law said unhappily.
After hearing this, she sat up and said, "Mother, my sister grew up with Brother Xuanyuan since she was a child, and her daughter likes him and wants to be his woman even more." ”
The mother-in-law shouted: "Are you ashamed, a daughter's family, love and make trouble all day long, are you ashamed?" ”
Mama glared at her mother-in-law and shouted: "What are you yelling, don't scare my granddaughter, a good man has to be a good woman, my mother, it's not me talking about you, don't you think about it for yourself, your father has been gone for a few years, you can't have three women in a family, there must be a man with a top door." ”
Mama's words suddenly choked her mother-in-law's mouth, and Mama looked at her daughter-in-law who was secretly wiping her tears, sighed, and staggered out of the shed.
Looking at the injured mother, she stepped forward and gently hugged her mother's neck and said, "Mother, my daughter has made you sad." The mother-in-law put her arms around her daughter and sobbed.
