Sikong hesitated slightly, and then replied, "This Wangxiang fruit is indeed here. Wangxiang fruit only bears fruit once in hundreds of years, and it only bears one fruit at a time, which is very rare. It is a sacred relic for our Wangxiang people. Although it is a holy relic, it does not have much effect, but it is just that it is rare and expensive. ”

"In that case, I wonder if the patriarch can give up his love and give us the fruit of Wangxiang?" Old man Dugu asked.

In fact, he also wanted to get the fruit of Wangxiang, and as a person obsessed with medical pharmacology, there was nothing more exciting than developing a new antidote.

"Patriarch, we won't ask for it for free, if you want something from the outside world, we can go and get it and exchange it with you." Ruoshui said.

Sikong shook his head: "We Wangxiang people have no desires and no wants, and we don't have any needed items. It's just that many years ago, our Wangxiang clan was cursed, and this Wangxiang fruit could only be used as a dowry, and the patriarch gave it to the girl he wanted to marry, that is, the patriarch's wife. If we don't, our entire race will be implicated in a curse and eventually lose their lives. ”

After hearing this, everyone's mood quietly changed.

"Is there really no other way?" Ruoshui asked.

Sikong shook his head: "No." This is the only way to get the fruit of hope. ”

Seeing Ruoshui's frowning appearance, Sikong's mood was instantly lost.

"Sister Ruoshui, I really want to give you the Wangxiang Fruit, but as the head of a clan, I can't ignore the lives of the whole clan, even if this curse is just a legend. I can't really afford to take that risk. Moreover, the men of our Wangxiang clan only marry a wife once in their lives, and if they reconcile and divorce their wives, they can only be lonely for the rest of their lives. ”

While speaking, Sikong raised his eyes and looked at Ruoshui,

"Sister Ruoshui, in fact, I am pleased with you. If you would like to stay with me and become my patriarch's wife, I will be very happy. It's just that after becoming the patriarch's wife, you can never get out of the valley, you can only stay in the valley forever. He will never be able to reunite with his family and friends outside the valley until he dies. ”

As soon as Sikong's voice fell, Xiao Qi expressed his dissatisfaction: "No, my sister can't marry you." ”

The little beggar was angry and wanted to stand up and reason with Sikong. But he was pressed by Ruoshui's shoulders and sat on the chair.

"Patriarch, please allow me to go back and think about this matter." Ruoshui said.

"Okay, I'm not going to keep you."

The crowd got up and left Sikong's house.

Sikong sent everyone to the gate.

He stood in the doorway, watching the crowd leave.

He stared at Ruoshui's back for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help but shout loudly: "Sister Ruoshui." ”

Wakasui stopped when he heard the sound, and everyone stopped with Wakasui.

"Patriarch, is there anything else?"

"Can you be my patriarch's wife? I like you. From the first time I saw you by the creek, I liked you. I've grown so big, I haven't had a crush on anyone yet. ”

"You think about it, if you don't want to, I won't force it."

Ruoshui replied, "Thank you." ”

After thanking Sikong, Ruoshui turned around and walked into the distance.

After walking a distance, Xiao Qi reached out and pulled Ruoshui's sleeve.

"Sister, don't you marry someone else, okay? If you want to look at the hometown fruit, I'll go and grab it for you. ”

Ruoshui looked at Xiao Qi's serious eyes, and she couldn't help but rub Xiao Qi's head.

"Little beggar, sister, thank you. However, since the Wangxiang fruit is a sacred relic of other people, it is very precious, which means that it is not easy to steal. ”
