Chapter 78: Wishful Thinking
On September 15, the ten-day 'Winter Wai Festival' of Wanshou Mountain Resort began. For a time, the scene was so grand and magnificent, good guys: 'waving the flag, firing the trumpet cannons', there were nearly 1,000 boxes of phoenix-tailed pigeons released alone. Remember, you have to choose the position you are standing in, don't keep going to work together, and you won't be surprised by others when you are surrounded by guano forests. You know what a downpour is? Not only that, but this bird thing is actually shedding its feathers.
Although the brothers had two thoughts, they were deeply shocked. Of course, there are many kinds of shocks. Lao Wu's eyes are those strange mounts, especially the various spirit beasts that are never easy to show people in the village, and they all moved out this time, which is called a mighty one. Thinking that he had already taken the future mount to exchange for spirit stones, it was still the most stylish kind, and this guy couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
Lao Xia's eyes are full of all kinds of characters. There is no way, there are so many gorgeous female cultivators, from a distance, they look like golden beans sprinkled in rice, all of them are beautiful eyes, and all of them are waists. It's just that it's a little cold, and I'm wearing a little too much, or... It can be more eye-catching....
Xiao Miao has been redecorated inside and out, with a new look and the stars holding the moon, as if the princess has arrived, and the pomp and circumstance are a little cold, and they can't get close. Of course, Ye Linglong, who is like the Empress Wu, can be excluded.
Dumb hid outside the crowd and watched her, and Xiao Miao also found him in the crowd, it seemed that the outfit he had carefully prepared for him was blind. But it's nothing, as long as he's there when he's beautiful, it's enough. In the eyes of lovers, it doesn't matter what a man wears, or even whether he wears it or not. When Lian'er first met Dumb, wasn't our master naked.
Seeing the smiling gaze cast by Dumb, Xiao Miao was very happy, so he smiled from the inside out, but it was not too obvious. Sometimes, it's just a matter of looking at each other, and if you can get a response that you understand, it must be a wonderful thing.
Who knows the meaning of this glance? At this moment, the little blueprint in her heart is becoming clearer and clearer, but the master in the distance is tossing and turning in her heart, struggling with something else entirely.
The Yunmeng Plateau is by no means narrower than the snowy Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, and it is also very close to the sun, and the drop is very large. Beneath the snow line are gentle meadows, underneath them are low bushes, and beneath the shrubs are vast woodlands. It can be said that birds and beasts are everywhere, and strange flowers and plants are broadcast.
The Miao family has its own winter hunting ground, which is very close to Wanbeast Village, covering two mountains and a lake. In the next ten days, the promising young people of Quannian Qingcheng can freely form teams here and hunt at will. The winner will be rewarded richly by the villa, or even favored by a certain beauty. Even if you don't get the approval of someone you like, it's a year worth proud of.
The task is easy and not easy. Those who have the ability can break in, and those who are almost on the periphery rely on luck. Perhaps, someone else leaked a big guy and it happened to fall into your hands, and this kind of thing is not unheard of in previous years. In last year's winter enclosure, a clouded leopard was left alone and was caught by several teenagers. The only rule is that cubs are not hunted, and if you are injured by mistake, please automatically withdraw from the competition. Is it punishable? Not really, it is enough to be named in public. And, most likely, it will not be invited in the coming year, or it will be extinct from now on.
If it's an insignificant game, if you don't invite it, you don't invite it, but this game is completely different. One is that the existence is too long, the second is that the scale is too large, and the third is that there are too many people who recognize, simply put, the so-called tradition. Maybe the ancestors of Ten Thousand Beasts Village didn't expect that it was just a harvest celebration party within Ten Thousand Beasts Village, but now it has reached this point.
As more and more people know, the scale grows larger and the duration grows. In response to the curious and active nature of young people, there is always a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere to lead, which is the so-called doing what he likes. The people invited are mainly limited to the circle of wealthy and powerful households, and even so, it is inevitable that it will be overcrowded every year, and there are also families in several nearby cities who come to ask to join. In the end, it became a young man's coming-of-age ceremony.
It is also that the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa is big enough, the family background is deep enough, and the host is also attentive enough, and in the following years, the security measures were gradually tightened. After all, when hunting, there are many unlucky people who turn into prey, and the occurrence of self-harm is also not new. Fortunately, the people of the whole continent are fierce, and the western plateau is especially hunting, and everyone is a family who has walked through the tip of a knife, so that life and death document is respected in every way. Otherwise, how can you continue to be blocked by the families of the injured and ask for explanations?
Today's events, out of thin air, have three links, such as animal taming arena, animal racing, and riding and shooting, and the prize pool is also rich on the surface, and there are various gambling games in the circle secretly. In these gambling games, there are always people who spontaneously open up, and the Miao family only provides formal judgments and venues, and never asks.
In fact, it's the networking that's all about here. Men and women of all families meet here, and it seems that ten days is too long from birth to maturity. The pickiness of the participants is exactly what the parents are willing to do, so that they can save the trouble of being the right person, and they can also enjoy themselves in a busy way. As for those who want to climb the high branches, don't let your own children come. Therefore, the older generation will talk about their children here, and it is inevitable to negotiate business.
The slaves of the Miao family are of high quality, in sufficient supply, and are well-known in the west. Every year, there are several huge orders, which are also specially arranged to be renewed on these days. It is quite like the leisure vacation that Party B entertained in the later life.
In such a warm atmosphere, as long as a man can't stay out of the matter, the Ten Thousand Beasts Village itself will put out a few votes to participate in the competition. At this moment, the crowd of thousands of animals in the beast field is so lively, and more than 100 horsemen riding pure-blooded horses are just waiting for the cannon to sound before they want to jump out of the railing. The stands were busy, mainly the guys who collected the bets were shuttling through the records, and the numbers that were shouted casually were recorded in detail.
"Chengxi Noble Fang, Fortune Boy, Five Hundred".
"The east of the city is lush and leather, and the Taibao is fast, three hundred!"
"Gather virtuous residences in the south of the city, catch the moon and meteors, and be in the eight hundred".
"The old Wei family in the front gatehouse, let you eat deflated, five thousand middle."
...........................!
In the front is the name of the owner, and in the back is the name of the horse. , indicating that the bet is on the medium-grade spirit stone.
As soon as he reported the name of the horse just now, it immediately attracted a laugh and scolding. "Wei Xiaoliu, you have a heart, right? Last year's loss was the bottom, do you think you can change the name of the horse this year? ”
There were a lot of people in the crowd who echoed it, and they were all shouting. Especially the owner of the moon meteor was even louder, helpless, that is, he placed a bet in front of the Wei family, as if he sincerely made him deflated. Last year, these two private gamblers were red-eyed, and finally made a big win or loss, which was a sensation. The sixth young master of the Wei family was obviously coming for him.
"Haha! That's the name of my god horse, what's wrong? Don't be left behind me later, tell you, what it tastes like to eat fart, hehe! Who smells it knows!"
"You...... Hmph, we'll see!"
............。
The stables here are first-class in the west, although the fees are expensive, but many horse owners will still foster a few horses here, the key is that the Miao family has many experts. In this beastly game, the invited horse owners are mainly betting on themselves to win, but it is just a pomp and circumstance of fighting for wealth.
A few days before the start of the Winter Wai Festival, it was these competitions and pomp, and the poor and white brothers could only watch dryly. Dumb dodged even more slowly, but he still didn't dodge.
I wanted to hide in the small courtyard and relax, but this is one of the best rooms in the whole villa, and the spare rooms still have to be arranged. The brother is also a guest, with both hands in favor and a warm welcome to the arrival of the new neighbor,
The people of the Miao family didn't know whether it was a small matter or something, so they arranged for the young master of Juxian Juju to be under the same roof as the six young men of Wei Ji. The master bedroom in the main room, in the morning, lived in Dumb and Dandan, five rooms in the west chamber, and one of them was where the two brothers lived, and now they have added the young master of Juxian Ju. The five rooms in the east wing were originally to be arranged for two families, but the sixth young master of Wei didn't do it, not only did he not do it, but he also fell in love with Dumb's main house. The chief steward explained for a long time, and then he lived unrelentingly. At that time, the brothers were still there, and they didn't know that Liangzi had been inexplicably married.
The day's beast competition ended lively, and the Wei family's 'just let you eat deflated' finally fell behind the moon meteor, and only got forty-eighth, and didn't even enter the decisive victory. The matter of losing the spirit stone is small, and this face has been beaten a lot, and for a while, his boring horse name has become the biggest joke of the day.
Sixth Young Master Wei returned to the small courtyard with a sigh of relief, and saw that everything was not going well, especially the main room with the door closed. If you want to say where this anger comes from? If you don't let people into their houses, you won't be allowed to enter, why are you angry?
In this world, there is no love for no reason, but there is hatred that flies. To say, the Wei Ji firm outside the front door is one of the richest families in Nianqing Ancient City. The slave business of Ten Thousand Beasts Village is deeply rooted in the Yunmeng Plateau, and it is the ancestral business of your Miao family. But in addition, his Wei family accounted for almost half of the slave and beast business in the whole continent. The Wei family has no business that cannot be done, selling grain in harvest years, famine years, and selling coffins in warm disaster years. Making money is a real skill, vision is the light that opens the way, and conscience is the tiger that stands in the way. It's fundamental to eat by skill, but if you don't do it well, it's always a petty fight. The remnants of your Miao family's slaves are good, so you have to keep them. If it weren't for the fact that the Miao family was also deeply branded by the sect, it would be very troublesome to move, and in the face of huge interests, it would be a matter of time before it was swallowed by whales. At this point, the Miao family had to rely on the deterrence of Ye Linglong's mother's family, and it was the orphans and widows who could stand on the foundation of the village.
Coincidentally, if you have something to rely on, he Wei family naturally has it, and he is still the only Peimen sect that Dumb is quite familiar with. Speaking of which, I have to mention that the whistling fourth child was able to smoothly mix into a team in the winter last year, and he happened to get close to Xiao Miao so well, which is very interesting. But in the whole matter, this sixth young master of the Wei family was almost wronged. God knows, he turned out to be a dumb patient, a sympathetic incense head, which was lit several years ago, and is still lit.
In Dumb's eyes, Miss Xiao Miao is a very good little sister, the kind that Yongdou thinks about privately. But in the eyes of this Wei Liushao, it is not just very good, but very good, very good, and good to the kind of 'men don't cry'.
