Chapter 449: Seeking
The woman looked to be in her teens, wearing the unique costume of a black Miao girl, and there was a string of silver bracelets between her wrists, and when she raised her hand in surprise, the silver bracelets collided, making a crisp impact sound.
Seeing the person beside Jiang Ru, she swallowed the words behind her, and looked at Jiang Ru with a look in her eyes that became suspicious.
Jiang seemed to have an idea and whispered.
It is spoken in the Ummyo language.
The girl said "ah", and immediately saluted Jiang Ru, her expression was extremely excited, and a series of Wu Miao words came out.
Ah Man was confused when he heard this, turned his head to look at Jiang, and suddenly found that the familiar master's temperament had changed.
If Jiang seemed to be a casual and casual noblewoman in the capital when she entered the shop, now her expression is condensed and reserved, like a snow lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain, and her eyes are boundless tranquility.
Ah Man couldn't help but cover his mouth, and said in his heart: The master is going to fool people again, but I hate that she can't understand what this little hoof says, and she can't help the master at all!
It's not easy to be a big girl, not only to master the skills of killing people and setting fires, but also to learn foreign languages......
The girl stretched out a hand and made a gesture to invite Jiang in.
Jiang seemed to bow slightly, and walked inward under the guidance of the girl.
Seeing that Aman was about to follow, the girl stopped and said in Da Zhou: "Please stay." β
Ah Man's eyes widened: "I want to follow my master!" β
The girl shook her head again and again in refusal.
Jiang seemed to want to find out the news from the Wumiao girl, so he naturally didn't want to have an accident, so he gave Aman a look and said, "Aman, you just wait here." β
"Butβ"
"It doesn't matter." Jiang seemed to gently touch the purse on his waist.
Aman breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it, the master has a perennial ecstasy in his purse, and he cleans up this little girl's piece of cake.
Bypassing the counter, she entered a small room inside, and the girl immediately knelt down and bowed, calling herself a saint.
Listening to the girl's name, Jiang seemed to be a little embarrassed.
She had lived as a saint Ah Sang for several years, and she knew a lot of the habits of saints from Elder Wu Miao and Ah San's personal maid, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Jiang seemed to have never thought that an unknown small shop in the same street as Lu Shengxiang was actually opened by a Wumiao woman. It seems that there is always a hand in the dark that pushes her to intersect with the Wumiao people.
This thought made her a little uncomfortable.
The events of her previous life have been turned over with her misunderstanding of Yu Qi, and she doesn't want to bring up those unpleasant memories again.
"Holy Maiden, you are not in retreat, why are you here?" The girl asked.
They had just returned to the clan, and they heard that the holy woman had been in retreat and had not appeared in front of people for a long time.
Jiang Ru frowned slightly, and glanced at the girl.
The girl immediately bowed her head and pleaded guilty.
"There are some things you don't have to ask."
The girl promised, and said in her heart No wonder the saint didn't show up for a long time, it turned out that something happened to come to the capital of the Great Zhou.
Jiang seemed to ask slowly in Wu Miao language, "Did someone buy an initiation Gu from here not long ago?" β
The girl was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Yes." β
"Tell me more about the details."
The girl recalled for a moment and said, "More than a month ago, a lady accidentally entered the store, and when she saw that I was from southern Xinjiang, she asked me if I had any initiation Gu, and said that she was willing to buy ...... for a lot of money."
Jiang seemed to frown, and said coldly: "There are rules in the clan that you are not allowed to give Gu worms to outsiders at will, and the initiation Gu is not an ordinary Gu worm, how can you get it with your identity?" β
She held the shelf of the saint, and the girl was so shocked that she immediately kowtowed again and again.
"Ask the holy woman for forgiveness, the really has no choice, Hua Lao was seriously ill at that time, and she needed money to buy expensive medicinal herbs......"
"Where did you get your initiation Gu?"
In Wumiao, although it is common for women to use Gu, some special Gu are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, and the initiation Gu is one of them.
Jiang seems to have lived in southern Xinjiang for several years and is well aware of this.
"Initiation Gu is the ...... of Hua Laos" The girl knelt on the ground, trembling.
For the Uzamian, the elders and the saints have a supreme position and cannot be offended.
Jiang seemed to have doubts about the girl's grandmother.
Being able to possess an initiation Gu shows that this person's identity in the Wumiao tribe is not simple.
With the girl's age, it is unlikely that she will intersect with the eldest princess of Rongyang, so what about the girl's grandmother?
"When did you come to the capital?"
The girl hesitated.
"Huh?"
"The came to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the beginning of last year."
Jiang Ru looked at the batik curtain leading to the lobby of the shop: "This shop was opened early last year?" β
The girl didn't dare to hide it at all, and said: "The small shop has been open for many years, and Hua Lao came to the capital of Dazhou more than ten years ago. β
More than 10 years ago......
Jiang seemed to be moving in his heart.
The initiation Gu is not easy to come by, more than ten years ago, my mother was given an initiation Gu and passed away, could it be related to the girl's grandmother?
Seeing Jiang Ru's thoughtful expression, the girl didn't dare to come out, so she only quietly looked at her, her eyes were full of reverence and curiosity.
The saintess is the first beauty of their Wumiao tribe, and she is also the person with the highest talent for practicing magic.
She used to only look at the saint from afar, but she didn't expect to be so close now......
The girl's face turned red with excitement and her eyes were shining.
"Do you know the exact time?" Jiang seemed to ask.
The girl hurriedly lowered her eyes and shook her head: "I don't know when it is, the didn't ask Hua Lao." β
"Where's your flower?" Jiang seems to have decided to meet the real owner of the shop for a while.
The girl immediately said: "Hua Lao is not in good health, so I will rest in the back." , this is called Hua Lao to see you. β
"Alright, you can go." Jiang Ru's voice was faint, not polite at all.
She was well aware of the status of the saint in the Wu Miao tribe.
If it is placed in the Great Zhou, the Holy Maiden of Wumiao is equivalent to the crown prince. And the saint is relying on her own talent and hard work to support the future of a group, and the love and reverence of the Wumiao people for the saint is indescribable.
In comparison, the prince was thrown to the edge of the sky, and I don't know how many people in the Great Zhou secretly called His Royal Highness the prince a fool.
The girl saluted and left, and Jiang seemed to wait quietly.
The small cubicle was filled with a faint scent of herbs.
It was a smell that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
The curtain flickered, and Ah Man quietly probed: "Master-"
"Go out and tell Long Dan not to worry about me."
Except for Elder Wu Miao, it was not so easy for the other Wu Miao people to embarrass her.
Jiang seemed to remember the admiration of Elder Wu Miao that she often received when she was practicing magic in Southern Xinjiang.
Elder Wumiao even sighed, if he didn't know that she was from the Great Zhou, he would think that she was the chosen saint of the Wumiao clan.
Aman retracted his head, and only the batik curtain shook slightly.
After a while, footsteps sounded, and the girl helped an old woman to walk in through the door leading to the backyard on the other side.
"See the Holy Maidenβ" An old voice sounded.
Jiang seemed to turn his head and looked at the old woman.
The old woman looked at her as well.
Different from the girl's respect, the old woman has scrutiny in her eyes.
Before Jiang seemed to speak, the old woman's face suddenly changed, and she shouted angrily in the Wumiao language: "You are not a saint!" β
