Chapter 141: A Chance
I know what is wrong with me, and this should be a sign of a spell attack.
Although I drank the water of the wind smelling herb, I could only ensure that the realm would not collapse, and it could not avoid the pain of the spell attack.
This kind of dizziness came and went quickly, and after taking a few breaths of fresh air out of the cave, I returned to normal, Luo Ningfeng and Xie Zhijian were relieved, but their faces were not very good.
Back in the bamboo building, the three of us were in a heavy mood and had no interest in talking.
I lay back on the bed with my hands on my hands and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Xie Zhijian couldn't help but ask me, "Director Yang, how are you?" ”
I smiled wryly and said, "What else?" Do you think we can be sure that we can steal that drum out? ”
Xie Zhijian glanced at me: "Isn't it just a formation made in heaven?" What's the big deal, how do you know if you don't try? ”
He's a typical ignorant fearless, and I don't bother to pay attention to him.
Since Luo Ningfeng entered the house, he took out a pen and paper and lay on the table to write and draw, not knowing what he was calculating, so he put down the pen and paper at this time, and smiled bitterly: "It's okay to try, but don't get too hopeful."
Xie Zhijian was anxious: "Why do you say that?" So what to do? Just watching Director Yang die? ”
Luo Ningfeng smiled bitterly: "I'm not Aladdin's magic lamp, wiping it can satisfy your wishes, not to mention that you haven't wiped me yet." ”
"Ya, your skin is itchy, right, come on, come on, Lao Tzu will wipe you!"
Xie Zhijian was about to pounce as he spoke, but I raised my hand to stop him: "Someone is coming, pay attention." ”
Luo Ningfeng hurriedly put away the paper and pen on the table.
Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door, and Ji Guoguo came in with a middle-aged man carrying a medicine box on his back: "This is the doctor of our village, Uncle Shanqi, his medical skills are very powerful, Brother Yang, let him show you." ”
I rejected Ji Guoguo's proposal just now, but I didn't expect her to be still uneasy, so I finally invited Doctor Miao over.
People have already entered the house, and if I insist on not letting me see it, it will be easy to make people suspicious.
What's more, Shanqi is not a simple person.
This person is more than one meter tall, his appearance is not outstanding, he wears a blue and white robe like a Hanfu, and his long hair is scattered on his shoulders, and what is even more impressive is the pair of phoenix eyes, the pupils are black and white, and they are as clear as a baby.
The baby's eyes are clear, that's because it hasn't been out of the mother's womb for a long time, and the innate aura in the body has not completely dissipated, and as he gets older, his eyes will gradually become cloudy.
Ever since he entered the house, his gaze has always stayed on me, as if he could see everything, and I can see that I am a little weak.
I didn't dare to slack off, pretended to be weak to get up, apologized to him, and just lay down and stretched out my hand to let him take the pulse.
Shanqi didn't say much, put the medicine box on the side of the bed, sat down, closed his eyes and took my pulse, and only opened his eyes again after a while, but he didn't say anything, but opened my eyelids and looked at the bottom of my eyes, and then turned around and said a few words to Ji Guoguo who was full of worry on the side in Miao language.
Ji Guoguo's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at me with an incredible look on his face.
I calmed my mind and didn't let myself panic: "What's the matter, Guoguo, what did the doctor say?" ”
"Uncle said you are in good health, strong as a buffalo."
My hanging heart fell back into my cavity, but I still didn't dare to be careless, and said with a smile: "I said that I was fine, but you still don't believe it." ”
Ji Guoguo ignored me, and communicated with Shanqi about something.
Although people spoke generously in front of us, the three of us were all ducks listening to thunder and didn't understand at all, which made me deeply aware of the importance of being proficient in a few languages, to say that I still know more in our army, familiar with Tibetan, Uygur and some dialects, but how can I have been active in the Tibetan border and have never been to Miaojiang.
I don't understand what they're saying, but at least I can read people's faces.
The more they talked, the redder Ji Guoguo's face became, and he couldn't help but glance at me twice, with a look of disgust and more shyness.
Miao Nu has always been known for being generous and hot, such as the Xiong Linlin who was picked off the window root by me last night.
Ji Guoguo may be because of more contact with the Han people, it can be regarded as a rare alternative among Miao girls, although she is not shy, but she still retains the youthfulness unique to girls, just look at the blush on her face, this Shanqi obviously also thinks that I just fell and wanted to take advantage of her, but this also makes me completely relieved.
However, the next scene made me frown involuntarily.
Perhaps it was Ji Guoguo's expression that caused Shanqi's dissatisfaction, and his tone was a little more stern.
I don't know what he said to Ji Guoguo, anyway, in a few words, Ji Guoguo's face faded away, but he was pale, his expression was aggrieved, and there were even tears in his eyes.
I couldn't bear it, and when I was about to interject to ask what was going on, Zenki had already picked up the medicine box and walked out.
I frowned and stared at his back, very unhappy in my heart, this idiot is not very good at medical skills, and his ability to pretend to be forced is very powerful, it is just that he didn't see through the evil curse in my body, and he didn't even see through Lao Tzu's Taoism, but he gave Ji Guoguo a cry, what is this special thing called?
I don't know if he sensed my gaze or what he thought of me, he walked to the door and suddenly turned around and stared at me.
I looked at him with an unkind face, and my eyes met for three seconds before he looked away and walked out.
I could see that his eyes were full of warnings, but I didn't know what direction he was aiming for.
Hearing him walk away, I got up, walked to the table and pulled out a chair: "Guoguo, sit down, what did you say just now?" ”
Ji Guoguo bit her ruddy cherry lips, stepped forward and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, held it in her hand but didn't drink it: "It's okay Brother Yang, you're fine, you're here to play, you must be happy." ”
"It's okay, why are you crying?"
I picked up an apple and wiped it, and handed it to her: "Come, what's the matter, don't be bored by yourself, talk to the eldest brother." ”
"I ......"
Ji Guoguo didn't pick up the apple, but suddenly lay on the table, whimpering and sobbing.
This made the three of us a little confused, we glanced at each other, Luo Ningfeng patted Xie Zhijian on the shoulder: "Let's go, follow me to the riverside, I heard that there is a kind of scaleless sword bone fish here is very good, see if you can get a few back." ”
Luo Ningfeng pulled Xie Zhijian out of the door, I knew that he didn't misunderstand what I had plans for Ji Guoguo, but he saw Ji Guoguo's trust in me, so he left us room to be alone, so that I could learn some useful information from her.
When Ji Guoguo saw that there were only two of us left in the house, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, stopped crying, and got up to say goodbye.
I didn't stop her, but said with a calm face: "It's okay, since it's inconvenient to talk to an outsider like me, then don't say it." ”
Ji Guoguo paused, turned around and said hurriedly: "It's not like this, it's not that I don't believe you......"
"What the hell is that, it must be hidden?"
Ji Guoguo hesitated, but sat back at the table, peeled an orange while holding it, and said in a low voice: "In a few days, there will be a reed sheng party in the village, as well as a bullfight, which is a very rare event, you just catch up, you must not miss it." ”
I nodded: "I didn't want to stay that long, but since Guoguo said so, the eldest brother will stay for a few more days, but ......"
She looked up at me: "But what? ”
"However, what is the mystery of this reed sheng society, if you don't tell me clearly, I will ask your father."
She smiled, "How could my father tell you these things." ”
Although she said this, she finally spoke: "Do you remember what you told me before entering the village?" ”
I frowned and shook my head, we were all laughing all the way, I don't know what she was referring to.
"You said the asparagus should be held in the fall...... Actually, you're right. Usually the reed sheng meeting in our village is held in October, but this time, in fact, it is also a last resort. ”
I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why? Do you still need to force this kind of thing? ”
"Big brother, you know, our Miao family has a total of three villages, which have been headed by our Xiji for more than a hundred years, and the Miao King has always been inherited by the youngest son of our Ji Guo family, and the generations have never changed."
I nodded: "The rules handed down by our ancestors cannot be changed easily, and we Han people are the same. ”
Ji Guoguo's bright eyes flashed a trace of stubbornness: "But their people from Zuojiang and Wula are now dissatisfied with our Xiji, and they actually want to compete with us for the position of King Miao." ”
"You know, they used to be just my servants in the west, and they always were, and we always cared for them, but now they want to ride on our heads, how can that!"
"What they say is that there is no difference between high and low Miao descendants, now it is an equal society, and the Miao King should also take turns to do it, in fact, he is greedy for our land, and envy that our village has a cave, and he can make money after it is opened, so he is angry!"
I nodded subconsciously, since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and the resources of Xiji are unique, no wonder other villages will be tempted.
"But what does this have to do with the asparagus?"
"They have to fight bulls, and the one who wins has the drum, the stockade, everything...... According to the clan rules, only at the reed sheng meeting, can you invite the Chinese god drum, so my father had to arrange the reed sheng meeting at this time. ”
When I heard this, my heart slammed: "Will the reed sheng meeting invite Chiyou drums?" ”
She nodded: "Only the Miao Wang family can have the Chishen Drum, if we lose to them in this bullfight, the Chishen Drum will be handed over to them for safekeeping, and it will naturally be invited." ”
I secretly rejoiced that this might be my only chance to get it.
But I don't know why, I have a faint self-blame in my heart, Chi You Drum is related to the stability of the three Miao villages, I put the idea on it for my own sake, is it a little too selfish?
