Tang's nose was sour, tears flowed down, and she choked up: "Zu'er, the eldest mother once treated you and your mother like that, and the eldest mother regretted her death." ”

The ancestor pulled the two of them and said: "Aunt Qiao Niang, the past has passed, and I won't mention it in the future, by the way, the clan didn't distribute dried meat and berries for the winter to each household, how can you say that you haven't eaten meat soup for a few days?" ”

Concubine Jin stepped forward and said softly: "Master, it was Erniang who didn't let the clansmen share it with us, so we can only cook tree bark to satisfy our hunger, and it's no wonder that Erniang is not in this matter, if it weren't for Erniang and the master to take it in, I'm afraid we would all stay in Wolf Tuoling." ”

The ancestor was displeased when she heard this, she picked up the Tang family Qiao and walked towards her own cliff cave, and looked at the concubine Jin Lang and said, "Let's go, let's go together." ”

Concubine Lang glanced at Concubine Jin and said softly: "Sacrifice, my brother and sister still don't go, just let my mother and Qiao Niang eat some broth to warm up their bodies, and Sister Jin'er and I have to go to Beishan to back the stone." ”

Knowing what the two meant, she stepped forward and put her arms around their necks and said, "If you really regard the master as your own family in your heart, you should follow her wishes, go, don't let me wait to find you again." ”

Tang Qiao entered the cliff cave, a warm current poured into his heart, Tang untied the half of the beast's tail around the neck and put it on the clogs, she looked around the cliff cave, the indescribable guilt in her heart, many years ago, the grandmother and the son were driven by her to the cliff cave on the east cliff slope, those years were not as warm as the warm animal skin warm couch today, let alone meat to satisfy hunger, those years do not know how the grandmother and daughter survived.

Qiao Shi seemed to realize that Tang Shi was guilty, she got up and stroked the thick animal skin couch on the edge of the cliff, and muttered, "What a warm couch, so good, so warm." ”

Later, she looked at her mother and lost her mind, she walked up to her mother and said, "Mother, don't move Erniang's sleeping couch." Qiao Shi seemed to react, and hurriedly walked to the fire and sat down quietly. And all this was really seen by the ancestor who was cooking soup on the side.

Tang's Qiao took the broth handed by the ancestor, and the two looked at it for a while, their faces were happy, and they raised their heads and drank a fine light.

Just as the ancestor was lifting a basket of berries, suddenly, a person appeared at the entrance of the cave, which immediately frightened the Tang Qiao family in the cave. Concubine Jin put down the broth in his hand, quickly picked up Concubine Lang and walked to Wang Qi's front to salute and said, "Concubine Lang Jin to meet Erniang." ”

Wang Qi looked around the cave, looking at the basket of berries in the hands of the ancestor, looking at the two bowls of broth held by the Tang family Qiao, her face was serious and cold, she walked straight to the couch and picked up a beast tail and turned to leave, walked to the entrance of the cave and stopped, and said coldly on the side: "It's all this menstruation, don't carry it if you don't carry the stone, flash your waist and make the children anxious." ”

After Wang Qi finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Tang stepped forward and said softly: "He Erniang, thank you for giving us the beast skirt to keep out the cold, we are grateful to you?" ”

Qiao Shi stepped forward and said: "The Tang clan knows that he has sinned deeply, and now he has realized it, I beg you to forgive." ”

Concubine Jin Lang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "Erniang, please forgive my mother." ”

Wang Qi's eyes were closed, her heart was like a knife, over the years, if it weren't for the person in front of her, she wouldn't have fallen ill, and Xiling Luming wouldn't have experienced so much suffering, it was really a divine punishment from heaven, the reincarnation of cause and effect, Tang's Qiao's got retribution for this, if she couldn't let go of her grievances, then what was the difference between her and Tang's Qiao's past.

Wang Qishi pondered for a moment and said, "Zu'er, burn more broth, it's warmer here, let your eldest lady Qiao Niang rest for a while." ”

Tang Qiao chased out of the cave, looking at Wang Qi's slumped body, staggering away, like ten thousand ants piercing the heart, full of guilt, self-blame, shame, the two cried back to the cave and sat down quietly, the fireworks in front of them reflected the tears in the eyes of the two of them and fell to the ground.

The ancestor sobbed and put the hot soup in his hand on the wooden table in front of the two, turned his head to look at Tang and Qiao, and said: "Don't be sad, my mother, she has forgiven you a long time ago, from now on, we are a family, don't maliciously slander your relatives, okay?" Tang Qiao took the ancestor's hand and cried loudly.

On the bank of Jishui Creek, there are Xiong clan people busy in the forest and fields, showing a scene of vigorous labor. The peach blossoms around him, the roar of the stream, and the red maple forest halfway up the mountain make people infinitely reverie.

Women's Day took a few women to sit by the river and weave straw skirts, and on the other side of the river, a group of samurai practiced martial arts.

The young patriarch Gongsun Xuanyuan walked out of the tent, ran out with a pot of hot broth in his hand and put it on the wooden table, probably the jar was too hot, so he touched the two big earrings and shushed for a while.

Chang Xian, who was lying on his back on the rope frame, opened his squinting eyes and pointed to the teaching field on the other side of the river and said, "Looking at our heroic boy, my heart is itchy. ”

Young patriarch Gongsun Xuanyuan glanced at the other side of the river and said, "When you are healed, how about you serve as the scholar of the Xiong clan?" ”

Chang Xian frowned and asked, "Why, you dislike me, the high priest won't let me do it." ”

Young patriarch Gongsun Xuanyuan said: "I already have a more suitable candidate, look at you, it is still the most suitable to be the martial artist of the clan." ”

Chang Xian frowned and asked: "The high priest is in charge of the sacrifice and spiritual education of the clan, and he has great power and responsibility, and the young patriarch is taking precautions, I don't know who is responsible for the big responsibility?" ”

Young patriarch Gongsun Xuanyuan bent down and squatted beside Chang Xian, he pointed to the woman on the edge of the stream and said, "Look at her, how is it." ”

Chang Xian was stunned for a moment and said: "Mrs. Nujie, young patriarch, are you crazy, she is your woman, how can this work, you had better dispel this idea." ”

The young patriarch Gongsun Xuanyuan said: "Although the female festival has an ugly face, her heart is like a mirror, and she is good at witchcraft, so she is naturally the most suitable clan priest." ”

At this time, Ji Shan, the head of the clan, came from the shed, he looked up at the blue sky and said: "The weather is good today, we have to go out for a walk, this winter is dry in the clan, and the hair on our bodies is about to grow." ”

Chang Xian turned his head to look at the patriarch Ji Shan and said, "Lord Ji Shan, the young patriarch wants to remove me from my position as high priest and let me be a scholar and martial artist, what do you think?" ”

Patriarch Ji Shan smiled and said, "Don't look at it, this is my proposal, this matter has already been discussed with Xuanyuan." ”

Chang Xian laughed after hearing this, he pointed to Ji Shan and said: "A young talent, an old scheming, alas, I can see it." ”

Ji Shan, the head of the clan, said: "Nujie is a rare priest, this is the first female priestess of the Youxiong clan in a hundred years, I am optimistic about her."

Chang Xian said: "If you don't discuss such a major matter with Mrs. Nujie, is it a little overbearing, she must be a woman?" ”

Gongsun Xuanyuan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "We discussed it with her, but she looked unhappy and yelled at us: "Why didn't you tell her about this good thing earlier." ”
