Chapter 28, the Northeast Shen family

The meaning of please return to Zhao is that there is something that originally belonged to Bailongdong, but now on Camellia Mountain's side, they want Camellia Mountain to send this thing back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Is it because of Ma Yuan?" Xiao Guan frowned, holding the letter paper in his hand. Somewhat puzzled, he said, "Is there anything in Bailongtong in our Camellia Mountain?" ”

Ma Dan was also very puzzled, and said: "Tomorrow is the day of Ma Yuan's funeral, Bai Longtong suddenly sent this letter, the change is a bit fast, it is indeed incredible." ”

I thought about it for a while before I understood the meaning of the letter. Fang Cai said: "Maybe it's for the soil eggs." A year ago, I had a conflict with Shen Jinhua in Bailongtong, and then Shen Jinhua was forced by the Zeng family to destroy the soil eggs, and then Shen Jinhua fell off the cliff with the soil eggs. I went down to look for the black dog and picked up the eggs by the way. After that, it took a lot of effort to save the soil eggs. They might want me to send the eggs back. ”

Xiao Guan was a little surprised, glanced at me, and said strangely: "Soil egg worm? This soil egg worm was originally growing in the heavens and the earth, and you saved it, what else do they want? ”

"It's been a year, why is it that at this time, why do you suddenly ask for soil eggs?" Ma Dan said, "According to Xiao Ning's words, the soil egg worm should belong to Xiao Ning. What's more, this soil egg insect can't be said to belong to Bailongtong. ”

Xiao Guan pondered for a while. said: "There must have been a change within Bailongtong. Let's take a look tomorrow and we'll find out. ”

"Be alert tomorrow. Let's see what has changed in Bailongtong. Xiao Guan said worriedly.

Soil eggs have always been hard to find, and for the people in the insect gate, although they are golden, they are not available. This time, Bailongtong suddenly begged for soil eggs, who knows if there will be another dispute! Come to civil engineering.

The next morning, after lunch, we set off for Bailongdong.

Although the snow has stopped in the past few days, it can't stand the cold wind, and it is colder than the previous days. Many places on the mountain road are covered with ice, and it is very inconvenient to walk.

It was originally two or three hours away, but it took twice as long to get there. Halfway through the poisonous insect cave. I didn't go in either, presumably Master Bai was still resting in the cave.

After the poisonous insect cave, walk for a while and arrive at the gate of Bailongtong Village, which stands by the mountain. We reported our names, and soon someone went in and passed them on. But after a while, someone came out to respond, knowing that it was Xiao Guan coming. The villagers of Bailongtong were still very excited, and several people crowded around to welcome Xiao Guan into the village.

Ah Jiu and I paid attention to the changes in the village, observed for a while, and felt that there was no change from before, and no one jumped out to ask for soil eggs. I just felt like someone was secretly watching me, waiting for me to look back. The man was gone again.

I shook my head, thinking that maybe it was my delusion.

"Lord Xiao, it's an honor for Ma Yuan to come." The clan elder in the village took Xiao Guan's hand and soon arrived at a house that was not too wide. There were people in front of the house and behind the house, and Xiao Guan asked Ma Dan to come forward and send some money.

Entering the house again, several Meishan Taoist priests were singing and chanting, beating around Ma Yuan's coffin, and paper money was burning in a brazier. The funeral song in the house is sounding.

Xiao Guan and Ma Dan worshiped Ma Yuan and lit incense. The women and children on the side came to thank them, their eyes red and their eyes full of grief.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, please cherish it." Xiao Guan was also a little sad, and could only say such a comforting word.

The clan elder said, "Lord Xiao is bothered. I've also heard about this fighting insect. This matter has little to do with Lord Xiao. Those who use intrigue behind their backs are the most hateful. ”

The clan elder is reasonable, and after Shen Jinhua passed away, this clan elder presided over the affairs of Bailongtong.

"In any case, I have to bear some responsibility for this matter......" Xiao Guan said with some self-reproach.

"Please go inside and rest. Dinner at about three o'clock, and then there will be a funeral. The clan elder led Xiao into a room to rest, and he was busy again.

Outside the house, there was still a noise of gongs and drums, and the sound of mourning continued.

After a few of us sat down, one of us came in to serve tea and water, which was extremely polite.

"Aren't you begging for soil eggs? How can it be so polite? I asked, puzzled.

Ma Dan said: "I don't think the clan elder is acting like he is pretending. He is full of gratitude for your arrival, big brother. I'm confused right now, I don't know what the hell they're going to do? ”

"If you have tea, you can drink it, if you have food, if you have something, you can solve it, you don't have to worry." Xiao Guan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

I was originally worried that there would be Gu worms in the tea, but after thinking about it, the people of Bailongtong would not be stupid enough to put Gu worms in the teacup of the former Worm King.

Along the way, I was already very tired, and after drinking some tea, I was relieved a lot. This tea is grown by Bailongtong itself, the entrance is bitter, and after drinking, there is a sweet fragrance in the taste buds.

In the afternoon, some people came to visit Xiao Guan one after another. Xiao Guan took off the crown of the insect king at the Insect Fighting Conference, and still had a high status in the hearts of the Gu cultivators in Miaojiang.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet was opened, the big table was opened, and the whole Bailongtong of all ages and children sat down to eat together. It's a way to say goodbye to someone who has passed away. At the end of the year, the people who went out of the village basically returned home, and the whole village became lively in an instant.

A few ignorant and happy children were rendered by the lively scene, chasing after me around the coffins in the courtyard, and strings of laughter like silver bells flew out. The laughter reached the ears of the adults, but no one scolded the children for their innocence.

Life is too hard, and it's always good to have more smiles. After the laughter, the sun smiled from behind the clouds. The golden warm light sprinkled down, and the entire White Dragon Mountain was bathed in sunlight.

The rice wine in the cup ripples with the breath of life and reflects the warmth of the sun.

A large bowl of braised pork, stewed fish with dried bamboo shoots, mushroom meat sliced soup, steamed pork with dried bracken, stir-fried ham with green peppers, stir-fried Shunfeng with green peppers, braised pig's trotters, braised fat sausages......

This is the joy and sorrow of the world. The dead return, and the living live better. The banquet was lively, and if the souls of the deceased saw this scene, they would naturally be very happy.

Xiao Guan also drank two glasses of rice wine, but he was a little gloomy. The clan elder accompanied Xiao Guan, and the two talked about some life insights. Madou came from the north, rarely ate the dishes from Hunan, and had a good appetite, although it was spicy and sweaty, he still ate very happily.

At the end of the banquet, another man walked over, the clothes on his body were completely different from the clothes of the Miao people, holding a porcelain bowl, and said: "Insect King, after waiting for Ma Yuan to be buried, we have something to say." ”

The man was dressed in black, with a shoehorn head, a very strong body, his eyes were deeply sunken, he looked a little gloomy, and there were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which was a person who had experienced wind and frost.

Xiao Guan looked at the man and asked, "No need to call me the Worm King again." After Ma Yuan is buried, let's talk about things. ”

As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. This man came to toast at this moment, with some kind of purpose. It's just that the dead are the biggest, and the two sides have to wait until Ma Yuan is buried before they compete with each other.

A trace of panic flashed on the patriarch's face, and he hurriedly picked up the bowl in front of him and shouted: "Drink, drink, drink your own rice wine, drink as much as you want!" ”

With that, the man left the table again and walked to the edge of the table. There were also a few outlanders with him who were dressed like him.

"Listening to the accent, it's from the outside of the Northeast Pass, maybe it's in the area of Changbai Mountain." Ma Dan said.

Ma Dan has lived in the Northeast for more than ten years, and he still knows some about the accent over there.

Xiao Guan pondered for a while and said, "In this way, they should be from Shen Jinhua's mother's family." The Shen family asked Shen Jinhua to marry Bailongtong for the purpose of soil eggs. When the Shen family came to Bailongtong this time, they would definitely ask Xiao Ning for soil eggs. ”

By four o'clock in the afternoon, we finally figured out what had happened. One year after Shen Jinhua fell off the cliff, the Shen family came to Miaojiang to ask for soil eggs.

"Big brother, this Shen family is very good in the Northeast. Their power should not be underestimated. Ma Dan said with some concern, "Their family master is vigorous and resolute, and the momentum of the Shen family has not been weak in recent years. ”

"If he can eat in the Northeast, can he also eat in Miaojiang?" Xiao Guan drank a bowl of rice wine, slammed the porcelain bowl on the table, and the chopsticks on the side jumped up.
