Who can say that they haven't done anything bad?

Mu Jiu didn't answer and asked, "You dare to say that you have a clear conscience?" You dare to swear? ”

Seeing that Mu Li didn't dare to speak, Mu Jiu continued, "I don't dare, because I don't know if I accidentally did something bad at some point, just like now, I accidentally became a clan elder and made someone jealous." ”

How could Mu Li not hear that Mu Jiu was sarcastically mocking him, his face was blue and white for a while, "Mu Jiu, don't be too proud!" ”

Mu Jiu snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, and stared at Mu Li with a straight face.

At this moment, the momentum on her body changed in vain, no longer a smiling Mu Jiu with a child, but more like a cold-faced rakshasa, with a terrifying low pressure circling around her body, slowly opening her lips, word by word, and loudly, "I'm just proud, what can you do with me?" ”

"I ...... I...... I ......" Mu Li was frightened and stepped back again and again.

"You? What do you want? Do you want to compete with me openly? Except that you are much older, what can you compare to me? Can you make rice for everyone in the Mu family? Can you get everyone in the Mu clan to wear new clothes for the New Year? Can you build a school for the Mu family, so that the descendants of the Mu family can easily embark on the road to the imperial examination? What can you do for the Muhammad family? ”

Facing Mu Jiusheng's questioning, Mu Li took a few steps back, and stumbled to the ground.

All the people around were suppressed by Mu Jiu's aggressive momentum, no one dared to step forward to help Mu Li, and no one dared to say anything about Mu Jiu's no.

Mu Jiu's eyes swept back and forth over the old people around him, and after a while, he said, "Everyone present, if anyone can do what I said above, I, Mu Jiu, will definitely present the position of clan elder with both hands, if you can't do it, please shut up!" Otherwise, it is an attempt to undermine the unity of the Muhammad clan! ”

Those old men all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Mu Jiu's eyes.

"I, Mu Jiu, as a newly promoted clan elder, must not sit idly by while the bad guys intend to split my Mu clan!"

After speaking, he didn't look at everyone's reactions, slowly restrained the coldness in his body, put on a shallow smile again, walked to Mu Hongbo's side, and pulled him to sit down together, "Good boy, you did a great job, Grandpa Lizheng will definitely be proud of you!" ”

Mu Hongbo looked a little frustrated, "But Sister Jiu'er, I couldn't protect my grandfather, am I really useless!" ”

Without waiting for Mu Jiu to speak, Mu Li said in a strange voice not far away, "Yes, you are indeed very useless." ”

Mu Jiu glared at Mu Li warningly, and looked at Mu Hongbo gently, "Don't listen to him, he is purely incapable of being an old man, so he is uncomfortable, thinking of ways to make us feel uncomfortable, you really believe him, that is to be ashamed of Grandpa Lizheng." ”

Mu Hongbo thought for a while, revealing an innocent smile, "I know Sister Jiu'er, he wants us to be unhappy, I am very happy, I am angry with him." ”

"That's right."

Seeing this, Mu Cha, who was hiding at the back door of the kitchen, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

He almost couldn't help but rush out to reason with Mu Li about what happened just now, but he knew that coming out to help Mu Jiu talk would only intensify the conflict and would not be beneficial to the development of things. Fortunately, Mu Jiu solved it with his strong heart and strength, and even gave his grandson a lesson.

Mu Cha was full of gratitude, and at the same time secretly determined that even if the whole world betrayed Mu Jiu in the future, he would support Mu Jiu!

After Mu Li's incident, no one dared to provoke Mu Jiu anymore, even Lin Changsheng quietly came to Mu Jiu's side, and the two sat side by side, and no one dared to say a few words.

Of course, Mu Jiu couldn't sit all the time.

After eating her rice cakes, she finally understood what Mu Liu meant by hard work.

……

Mu Qiao was born at home.

Mu Qiaoluo Mu Qiaosheng sat side by side, whispering, and there was a young man sitting next to them, with a puffy face, messy hair, eyes deeply sunken, and his eyes full of resentment, which looked a little scary.

This person is Mu Hongsheng, who Lin Changsheng investigated and was beaten!

"Third uncle, you just say what we will do later, I will listen to you!" He looked haggard, but he was more than a step away from being beaten to the point of dying.

"Hongsheng, everyone will go up the mountain later, but Zhang Xiuxiu and the child are probably not going to go, you just wait for an opportunity at home, and if you grab the child, take your aunt and them to the side of the mountain."

Mu Qiaoluo said uneasily, "Do you remember the roadmap I gave you?" Although there is no road, if you follow that direction, you will definitely be able to reach the country of Nanluo, and go to their southernmost town of Nan'an to find their mayor, and let them arrange it for you.

My boss said that when the time comes, he will find you the best doctor to treat you, we are all scholars, and they will arrange decent work for us, so that we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. ”

"Third uncle, thank you for not giving up on us at the critical moment, my mother and I will definitely help you take care of your younger brothers and sisters, you can rest assured to come and join us."

"I'm relieved that you're like this, and you can rest assured, I can definitely kill Mu Jiu to avenge your grandfather."

Mu Hongsheng smiled with satisfaction, but his eyes were too resentful, giving people a creepy feeling.

Zhang Cuihua came out of the room, after a period of recuperation, the injury on her head was already healed, and said worriedly, "Everyone knows that there are wolves and tigers in the mountains, we pass by so rashly, what if we encounter it?" ”

Mu Qiaoluo said impatiently, "Don't worry, the wolves are all in Mu Jiu's medicine garden." The people above me said that they would send someone to help you cross the mountain safely, there are no large beasts at the edge of the forest, you don't have to worry, and when you go to the depths of the mountain, someone will come from Nanluo to meet you, so you don't have to worry. ”

Zhang Cuihua didn't quite believe Mu Qiaoluo's words, and wanted to ask something, but was rudely interrupted by Mu Qiaoluo, "Sister-in-law, my wife and children are also going together, what are you worried about?" Are you afraid that I will harm you, but will it be harming you, and I will even harm my own wife and children? ”

Zhang Cuihua was speechless, and even Mu Qiaosheng threw him a look with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Cuihua was not convinced, but when she thought that she would succeed in taking her grandson away next, she didn't bother to worry about Mu Qiaosheng's livelihood, and moved a stool to sit on the other side of Mu Hongsheng.

"As for us, you ...... Such...... I'm ...... like this Let's do it together again.

……

Ancestor worship is a major event for the entire Mu family, although it is done every year and has a lot of experience, but it can't help but be complicated, and there are still a lot of situations.

As the patriarch, Mu Jiu had to personally organize the men in the clan, everyone carried the pot, and the firewood carried firewood, and carried a few cauldrons to the ancestral graves of the Mu family who had been buried in the past.

This is a whole low slope, the graves of the oldest ancestors are in the front, the graves of other ancestors are behind him, and many ancestors of three generations will also be moved to this low slope, and they will be lined up in the back to form a family tomb group.

Every year a few days before the Qingming Festival, Mu Cha will go to collect money from every household, according to the head of ten copper plates, and then take the money to buy a pig and a dozen roosters in advance, the money is not enough, he and other clan elders together to make up, or find the richest people in the clan to make up for some.

All this year's money is from Mu Jiu.

As the clan elder, Mu Jiu had to follow the other clan elders to assign tasks, commanding the young men to kill pigs and chickens, and draw a circle around the ancestral tomb with pig blood and chicken blood.

As for why, Mu Jiu said that he was confused, the ancestors have passed down from generation to generation, and many things have been passed down to the point that he forgot his original intention, and only remembered to make movements by drawing a scoop on the gourd.

After doing this, the young lads went to clean the pigs, and the women went to clean the roosters.

Mu Jiu cooperated with the other clan elders to gather everyone together, and everyone sat as close together as possible to form a circle, surrounding Mu Cha in the middle.

Then Mu Cha turned out the family tree and began to tell the origin of the Mu family, and the good results made by the ancestors in the past, and then encouraged the younger generations to learn from those ancestors who achieved good results, and strive to make a name for themselves and return to glory to their ancestors.

When Mucha had finished speaking, the boys came back with a whole pig and put it in a cauldron to cook it whole.

The old people began to tell their children about some of the good things their ancestors had done, as well as some interesting things, which was called inheritance.

It took an hour to cook the pig.

Mucha instructed the boys to carry the pigs to the graves of the oldest ancestors and put them in large wooden basins. The rooster was also cooked whole, and placed separately, and the wine, rice, and other offerings were served.

Mucha took the lead, and everyone lit incense and candles in turn, and led a group of clansmen to bow down.

And Mu Jiu, as a new clan elder, ranks behind the other eight clan elders, and has become a beautiful scenery in the clan elder circle where all of them are old men.

After three prostrations, Mucha, as the patriarch, said a bunch of words asking for the blessing of the ancestors.

After his words were finished, everyone planted the incense one after another, and the ancestor worship ceremony was completed.

The next thing is to divide the big pigs and have a meal together.

Everything went reasonably well.

Maybe because of his physique, Mu Jiu was not as tired as he imagined, wasn't it the same as digging medicinal herbs up the mountain? Acceptable.

There are more than 300 people in the Mu family, and there are not many pigs, so they just want to have fun, everyone sits together and listens to the patriarch tell those stories of the past, and everyone chats about the present together, and most of the day passes quickly.

It was drizzling, and when the women were full, some of them did not want to get wet in the rain, so they took their children home.

But the men are still drinking and guessing the code, the mountain is as lively as the New Year, some people are drunk, the people who carry the bar on weekdays are blushing and their necks are thick, and some people simply sleep on the slippery ground, and they are not aware of the rain.

Seeing this, Mu Jiu went to inform their wives and family members one by one, and asked them to take the people back so that they would not get sick in the rain.

It was only in the evening that Mucha gave the order for everyone to go back, and the cauldron and some miscellaneous items were carried back.

Everything was calm, and Mu Jiu had been secretly observing Mu Qiaoluo and Mu Qiaosheng, and he didn't find anything wrong.
