Chapter VIII

When she opened the curtain of her mother's shed, she was stunned in the shed, only to see the moths flying around the shed, and the walls of the shed, the wooden beams, and the wooden pillars were full of silkworm moths. The ancestor walked up to his mother and looked at the cocoons in the boiling water in the jar, but they were intact, only the ginkgo soaked in water had been feathered into silkworm moths.

The ancestor roared loudly: "Don't pour ginkgo seeds into the cold water can, stop, stop." ”

Several village women were calmed by the roar of the ancestor, and immediately put down the white fruit in the basket and looked at the ancestor quietly.

Wang Qi looked at his ancestor and asked with a look of displeasure: "Zu'er, why don't you stop." ”

The ancestor shouted: "Don't do it, just stop quickly." ”

"This kid, can't you talk well?"

"Do you listen? These ginkgo seeds can't be soaked in water, and they will become feathered moths if they are soaked in water. ”

Wang Qi said: "This feathered moth is not called by you, and until now I have not figured out what a feathered moth is. ”

The ancestor's obstruction puzzled several women, and Wang Qi waved his hand to them, signaling them to go back first. After the women left, Wang Qi took his ancestor into his arms and asked: "Zu'er, my mother knows that you have been assertive since you were a child, and you have the ability to predict everything, so you tell your mother, how can this silkworm cocoon become a moth without silk, is there any way?" ”

The ancestor looked up at Qi and said, "I can't help it." ”

"You kid, you can't help it, so why did you get rid of the grandmothers?"

"Is that because Zu'er hasn't thought of a solution yet?"

Ah Hua pulled her ancestor and said, "Zu'er, then you hurry up and find a way, tomorrow the clan will collect more and more white fruits." ”

The ancestor glared at the concubine and said, "Aren't I thinking of a way, you and my mother are chattering in my ears, can I come up with a way?" ”

"My child, how can I talk to your sister, what is my mother and sister chattering in your ear, it's really not big or small."

The ancestor stood up from Wang Qi's arms and said, "Don't disturb me. ”

After saying that, the ancestor turned around and walked out of the shed, and she didn't have much effort to turn back into the shed. Wang Qi and Concubine Ahua looked at the ancestor with an unhappy expression, and before they could speak, they saw the ancestor grab a few white fruits from the basket and turn around and walk out of the shed.

Outside the shed, the ancestor sat on the swing net and swayed, a pair of eyes looking directly at the white fruit in his hand.

At midnight, the full moon shines through the window of the shed, and the soft moonlight is delicate and pure. Outside the shed, the ground insects are shouting, and the chirping of wild birds can be heard from time to time in the mountains and forests not far away. The wild wind blows in the mountains, blowing the grass curtains under the eaves of the canopy and swaying with the wind, and wandering in the dark night with the moonlight that is sometimes dark and bright. The ancestor leaned his right hand on the window edge, leaning his back against the pillar and quietly contemplating something.

At the door of the shed on the east side, Wang Qi and his daughter Ahua looked at the ancestors walking around in the west shed, and they didn't know what to do. Ah Hua asked softly, "Mother, do you think Zu'er can come up with a way?" ”

Wang Qishi said softly: "Zu'er is young, it is impossible to predict everything, this is the second half of the night, alas." ”

Ah Hua said: "Mother, don't underestimate our ancestor, her prestige in the clan is extremely high, even Wuzhu Pang Gao respects her very much, who would have thought that Zu'er is still a girl less than ten years old." ”

Wang Qishi sighed and said, "I'll cook some broth for Zu'er, and you can send it to her." ”

After hearing this, Ah Hua pursed her lips and said, "Mother, I think it's better to forget it, I'm afraid of that little ancestor." After speaking, Ah Hua lay on the wooden couch. Wang Qishi looked helplessly at the west shed, sitting quietly on the threshold, looking at the bright window of the west shed with his hands on his cheeks.

The ancestor lay on the wooden couch and couldn't fall asleep, her mind was full of the scene of silkworm moths fluttering, and in a drowsy state, she closed her eyes. In the dream, an old man with white hair and white beard emerged from the ground, exuding ten thousand rays of light: "Ancestor, I am the local land, you are the silkworm aunt who was thrown into the mortal world by Wazu, the savior of the world, you are a Li people, and you have a great responsibility, Wazu learned that you were in trouble, so I sent you a three-legged stone to help you make merits, and the three-legged stone is placed in Panlong Cliff in Xiling Mountain, go quickly, go quickly." ”

The ancestor sat up, and he looked around the shed to be safe and sound: "Am I dreaming?" What a strange dream".

She climbed on the windowsill and looked out, and suddenly remembered something. Three-legged stone, what three-legged stone? Panlong Cliff, I've never heard of a place in Panlong Cliff, is this just a dream illusion, or is I thinking too much?

When the ancestor walked out of the shed, the sky was still full of stars, and the wild wind was blowing refreshingly and leisurely. At this time, someone behind him spoke: "Zu'er, can you drink some soup?" The ancestor was startled, and when she turned around, she saw her mother standing in front of her with a bowl of hot soup.

"Mother, you haven't slept yet?"

"Mother can't bear to work so hard for you, come, drink this soup quickly."

The ancestor took the hot soup and said with a smile: "Zu'er is not hard. The ancestor raised her head and drank a bowl of broth, she looked sideways at her mother and asked softly: "Mother, can we have a Panlong Cliff in Xiling Mountain?" ”

"Yes, Panlong Cliff is not far from the mountain, back then, your father in order to rob the marriage, had accidentally entered the Panlong Cliff, and almost died on the cliff, and later we learned that the Panlong Cliff of Xiling Mountain is a holy place, the legend is that Panzu opened the sky to make the furnace of the axe, and non-underworld people dare not break in."

"Who is the Underworld, who is the Underworld?"

Wang Qi said: "The underworld person is a person with the power of the wilderness, that is, the savior's hard life. ”

"What about my father, he, is he a man of the underworld?"

Wang Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Zu'er, why do you ask like this, did you see something?" ”

"No, no, Zu'er didn't see anything."

"No, tell my mother, tell my mother, do you see something?"

The ancestor told Wang Qi what happened in the dream, and Wang Qi was so frightened that he took a few steps back. She can't believe her ears and eyes, the underworld person, the savior inheritor, his man is the underworld person, his life is bumpy and difficult, he cares about the safety of the world, his life is like a withered lamp exhausting the spirit, his life is based on the sky, and the earth is the rest, even at the end of life, he has to find a new inheritance of the Jishi, could it be said that the ancestor is the Jishi of her father's inheritance. Wang Qi took his daughter into his arms and cried: "My poor daughter, why, why? ”

"Mother, what are you talking about, why are you crying, is your daughter angry with your mother?"

"No, no, my daughter is very well-behaved, Zu'er, my mother told you, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember to stay away from danger, even if your mother and sister and brother are in trouble, you can't fight with your life, remember?"

"Mother, what are you talking about, Zu'er doesn't understand, just tell Zu'er, where is the Xiling Panlong Cliff."

Wang Qi wiped his tears and choked up: "Okay, okay, it's dawn, my mother will take you there, and I will also bring some clansmen." ”
