I hurriedly asked the little fat man what he had told you, and if he had told you the secrets of the village.

Long Xiaoman shook his head with a smile, "I was going to ask him, but then I forgot about it." ”

"Who are you fooling?" I definitely don't believe it, how could a sane person like Long Xiaoman forget such an important thing?

"Believe it or not, that's the way it is."

The corners of Long Xiaoman's mouth hooked up a smile, this smile is no longer mixed with pain, I don't know if I was wrong, I actually thought she smiled a little childishly, I had never seen her smile like this before.

"Shi Nanbei talked to me about some ordinary things, many things that seemed boring to me before, but suddenly became interesting in his mouth. The nature of hungry ghosts is ferocious and extremely painful, and it is only some people who have done evil in their previous lives that they will fall into the path of hungry ghosts and suffer. ”

"But Shi Nanbei smiled very happily, he told me about his satisfaction in eating chicken legs, about his accidental fall one day, and he also asked me a lot of interesting questions, he cared about why ants moved, why meat is better than vegetarian dishes, and whether I can make roast chicken legs."

"I don't know why, when I talked to him about this, I felt so happy, I felt more relaxed than ever, and I forgot about the key issues."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at me, "I didn't think of why at the time, but then I figured it out, maybe, this is what you said about friendship, when I chatted with Shi Nanbei, he completely regarded me as a friend." ”

I nodded, "It's a very happy thing to be with friends, when I used to study in the county, I also had several iron buddies, and every time we were together, we were quite happy, but then we didn't get in touch." ”

"Actually, I envy you."

When Long Xiaoman said this, it didn't look like it was contrived at all, and his eyes were very sincere.

I asked, "Don't you have any friends?" ”

She smiled wryly and shook her head, "In the eyes of others, I am a lady who has no worries about food and clothing, and they envy me and even envy me. I used to think that I was amazing, and I always felt that I was superior to others. ”

"It wasn't until later that I saw that you were willing to give your life for a wisp of less than a tenth of your soul, and that you were willing to cut off your own flesh for the sake of a hungry ghost, and you told me that it was called friendship and love, and until then I felt pitiful for me."

"Maybe it's because I've been nurtured by my family since I was a child, and I always feel that these feelings and loves are just boring behaviors of ordinary people. I'm so big, don't say anything about friendship and love, I haven't even experienced family affection, I feel that in my father's eyes, I'm just a tool, living for the family mission, I feel that if I die one day, my father won't be sad. ”

"How is that possible!" I waved my hand and said, "After all, you are his own child, how can there be parents in the world who don't love their children." My parents left me unknown since I was a child, my second uncle and aunt brought me up, although I was not their biological child, but my second uncle and aunt were willing to do anything for me, when I was sick, my second aunt also braved the heavy rain overnight to go up the mountain to collect medicine for me, that time almost lost my life. ”

Thinking of my second uncle and aunt, I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart again.

Long Xiaoman smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If you are a woman, will your second uncle and aunt let you be a concubine for someone you have only known for a short time?" ”

I shook my head, "Well, it's not likely. ”

After finishing speaking, the two of us fell into a short silence, I secretly glanced at Long Xiaoman, and suddenly felt that she was strange and pitiful. If I hadn't heard her say this, I really thought that people like them live in unparalleled happiness every day, but I didn't expect that they also have countless troubles.

"Long Xiaoman!" I secretly made up my mind, "Otherwise, let's be friends in the future, although you are nominally my concubine, we can also be good friends in private!" ”

Long Xiaoman turned his head to look at me, his expression was a little surprised, "You want to be friends with me?" ”

I nodded, "Yes, you will be my friend of Zhang Zhanning in the future, if there is anything to use, you can just speak!" ”

"But, I wanted to hurt you a few days ago......"

"It's all gone!" I waved my hand, "And it's understandable, you wanted to harm me at the time, it should be for your brother, it's understandable." ”

"Really?" Long Xiaoman was still skeptical, "But I have a bad temper, I like to scold, and I ......"

"Don't mess with these useless things!" I interrupted her, "You should be what you want to be in the future, friends are not asking each other to become, but no matter what the other person is, everyone can still be friends, this is the real friendship." ”

Seeing that Long Xiaoman was still stunned, I suddenly slapped her on the head.

"What are you doing!" Long Xiaoman stood up and glared at me.

"Friends can joke with each other!" After saying that, I slapped me again, Long Xiaoman deftly dodged away, stretched out his long legs and kicked me out, and then giggled, "It turns out that friends can still be like this!" ”

I slammed on the ground, clutching my stomach for the kick, "That...... Jokes between friends, you can't bully the weak, you can't use kung fu! ”

Long Xiaoman hurriedly came over to help me up, looking apologetic, "I'm sorry, I reacted instinctively just now, I'll ......be careful in the future."

I took advantage of her inattention, and suddenly picked her up and threw her on the bed, she was probably afraid of hurting me, so she didn't kick me, but the reaction was still very fast, and she reached out and hooked my neck to twist me away.

As a result, I stumbled and threw myself on the bed with her, "Hehe, this is just a joke, remember it in the future, you can't use kung fu between friends." ”

"But......" Long Xiaoman's expression looked a little weird.

"Nothing!" I interrupted her, "Come to think of it, you're so powerful, if you accidentally cripple me, then how can you joke about it later." ”

"But your hand ......"

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that my hand was pressed against a soft mass, and I quickly screamed, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to......"

Long Xiaoman's face turned crimson, he stood up and kicked me to the ground, "I didn't mean to!" ”

I clutched my chest, secretly glad that I was lucky that I was in name only with her, if I really married such a daughter-in-law, I would not be kicked to cripple!

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Long Xiaoman hurriedly sorted out the somewhat messy clothes.

When I opened the door and saw Long Zhiyuan standing at the door, he just glanced at us, and then looked a little anxious, and said, "Follow me!" ”

Long Xiaoman and I arrived at his windowless room, Long Zhiyuan held the graffiti depicting a man holding a bow and arrow, frowned and said, "I have already deciphered this picture." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately came to my senses.

Long Zhiyuan pointed to the pattern on the painting, "One person, one bow, is one person and one bow, combined together, what is the word?" ”

When I heard this, it suddenly dawned on me, "It's a word!" ”

"Yes!" Long Zhiyuan stood up, "It's a word!" ”

"But what does that mean?" I asked.

Long Xiaoman took over the conversation, "Yi is the name of a minority in the southwest in ancient times, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a certain leader believes that the word Yi is composed of a person and a bow, symbolizing barbarism, so Yi is changed to Yi, the word is homophonic, but the meaning is completely different, the former symbolizes barbarism, and the latter symbolizes farming. ”

"Yi?" I asked.

Long Xiaoman nodded, "Yes, the largest Yi nationality settlement area now is Liangshan Prefecture in southwest Sichuan, and the principal left this clue, I'm afraid it alludes to some secrets in that place." ”

"But Liangshan Prefecture is so big, how can we find it?" For Liangshan Prefecture, I still know a little, the famous Xichang Satellite Launch Base, is in Liangshan Prefecture.

Long Xiaoman picked up the painting, pointed to the pattern on it and said, "The person in the painting is standing on a mountain peak, and some small mountains can be seen around, which means that the secret is hidden in the highest peak of Liangshan Prefecture!" ”

Long Xiaoman said, while taking out his mobile phone to bring up the map of Liangshan Prefecture, pointing to a place and saying, "It's here, Xiaoxiangling!" ”

I leaned over to take a look and saw that next to Xide County in Liangshan Prefecture, there was a mountain called "Xiaoxiangling", which the principal's painting alluded to should be here!

"Let's go now!"

Long Xiaoman was an anxious person, and walked out as he spoke, I hurriedly stopped her and pointed to the clothes on her body, she was stunned, and suddenly looked embarrassed, only to find that she was still wearing a bright red wedding dress.

After changing clothes, Long Zhiyuan didn't let the two of us leave immediately.

"Xiaoxiangling is in the hinterland of the Yi District, we know very little about where it is, and this clue pointing to there is so secret, it can be seen that there must be a lot of danger there, and we must not act rashly."

After finishing speaking, Long Zhiyuan glanced at me, and continued, "Since things have developed to this point, it doesn't hurt to simply delay a few days, and when Xiaohui comes back, I will let him go with the two of you." ”

After hearing this, Long Xiaoman no longer insisted.

When I went to bed at night, I slept on the bed of Long Xiaoman, and I asked him who Xiaohui was.

"He is the descendant of the Dongpaihua family."

"Didn't you say before that your four major Xuanmen families don't communicate with each other?" I asked, confused.

Long Xiaoman's face showed a complicated expression, "The Hua family is an exception, it suffered a catastrophe in the battle between the four major families, and was almost killed, my grandfather's generation tried their best to retain a part of the Hua family. ”

"But the Hua family has been in a slump since then, and was attacked again by unknown people twenty years ago, and the Hua family resisted desperately, and finally left only a baby to be fed, which was adopted by my father, which is the Xiaohui just mentioned."

I asked what I was going to do for the next few days, I couldn't just be idle.

Long Xiaoman said, "Tomorrow my father will arrange a task for us." ”

"What's the mission?" I looked confused.

"You are now a member of our Long family, and tomorrow, you will go on a mission with me, which can be regarded as letting you understand this aspect first."
