Chapter 661: Where Did the Ancient Mulberry Tree Come From?
Ye Xi smiled, but the guilt was also really guilty, he didn't want to be sullen for too long, so he immediately jumped on Jiaojiao's head.
"Let's go, go home. ”
Jiaojiao hadn't carried Ye Xi for a long time, and hissed excitedly, completely forgetting the prey he had come from afar, and raised his head high.
The crowd spontaneously squeezed to the side, clearing a wide passage for Ye Xi and Jiaojiao.
Ye Xichong nodded with a smile at everyone.
Jiaojiao's thick tail flicked, and in the blink of an eye, it swam a hundred meters away, and Broken Ling, Chief Tushan, Red Eagle and others hurriedly pulled their legs to follow.
Silk autumn rain.
The tall jade-colored stone house stands quietly.
The autumn rain hit it, covering it with a soft white veil and washing away all the dust, making it as transparent as a huge piece of real jade.
The two mulberry trees next to the house swayed gently.
Everything is quiet and beautiful.
Ye Xi is the lord of Xicheng, so his residence is built according to the highest standards, in addition to the special stone of the construction, it is also built extremely tall and conspicuous, enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and there is also space for Jiaojiao to live.
Ye Xi got down from Jiaojiao's body and stepped on the jade-white steps in front of the stone house.
Next to the gate, the salted bird and the river leopard's eyes lit up, and they saluted Ye Xi in unison with a smile and energy: "I've seen Lord Xiwu!"
Ye Xi greeted them with a smile.
The salty bird and the river leopard each grabbed a doorknob with a tacit understanding, and the heavy and huge carved stone door creaked, completely opening to both sides, revealing the empty and tidy space inside.
Ye Xi walked into his home.
The corridor was spotless, the floor tiles were so bright that they could illuminate the shadows, and there was no one in the air who had left the smell of dust for a long time, only the smell of damp water vapor, which followed Ye Xi from outside the door.
The furnishings in the house have not changed at all, as if Ye Xi had just left yesterday.
Only the light is dim.
But this can't be helped, even if there are large areas of floor-to-ceiling windows built of ice island stone, the house will not be lit up on a rainy day.
"Knock knock!"
Behind him came the sound of scrambled footsteps.
It turned out that it was the red eagle and others who chased after them.
The red eagle first hurriedly and skillfully lit all the candles in the hall, and waited until the room was bright and warm before saluting Ye Xi.
Ye Xi: "You have been helping to take care of this house for the past year?"
The red eagle said respectfully: "Lord Hui Xiwu, yes." ”
She remembered something and proposed, "Lord Xiwu, there are a lot of things in the storage room, which were given to you by the clansmen when you were away, do you want to go and see them?"
"Or wash up first, and I'll prepare hot water for you right away?"
Like ordinary small tribes, the clansmen will also dedicate the good things they find to Wu, and Ye Xi, as the "Lord Xiwu", if the people of Xicheng find something good, they will naturally dedicate it to him.
Ye Xi also received it often, most of them would be returned, and the extra favorite gifts would be accepted, and then the giver would be blessed with dominoes or other rewards.
So Ye Xi just shook his head when he heard Hongdiao say this, and said, "I'll talk about it later." ”
He had to coax Xiaohua first.
Although Xiaohua, this little skin flower, seemed to be angry, but actually did not run away, but ran back to his own room in the house, obviously wanting Ye Xi to coax, but he was afraid that he would not coax.
Ye Xi was both crying, laughing and distressed, so he asked Hongdiao and the others to wait in the hall for a while, and walked to the second floor by himself.
In the room, Xiaohua was rooted in her own earthen bed and spat at Ye Xizhi.
Ye Xi took out the strength to coax the child, and said a basket of good words, and said that his throat was dry, so that Xiaohua loosened up a little. Then he took out one after another beast cores like a trick, almost hollowing out half of the beast cores he got along the way, and reluctantly gave Xiaohua the blood of the fire feather finch to drink, and finally coaxed Xiaohua reluctantly.
After coaxing the little flower, Ye Xi naturally did not ignore Jiaojiao.
Although Jiaojiao has the temper of a calm big brother, he is also a little aggrieved and unhappy that Ye Xi always does not take it out, so Ye Xi gave it the other half of the beast core.
"Crackle!"
Red eagles lit up the fireplace, and orange flames dried the humid air.
The interior of the house becomes bright, dry, and warm.
Ye Xi sat on the stone chair next to the fireplace, Xiaohua and Jiaojiao surrounded Ye Xi, fortunately Ye Xi's hall was spacious enough, and fortunately, Jiaojiao's body did not grow any longer, so it could accommodate Jiaojiao.
Next to the orange flame, one person and two pets gather together, which looks particularly warm.
Ye Xi communicated and explained to them again: "It's not that I don't want to take you there, it's just that the place I went to this time was too far, so I didn't take you." ”
A flower and a python hung their heads, and there was a tendency to fall down.
Lost in oneself is not as able to fly as a cormorant.
Ye Xi hurriedly reassured: "But I won't always go so far away, Quack it can only accompany me for ten years, and I will go back to the Yang tribe, I will definitely need you very much in the future, Xiaohua runs fast and small, Jiaojiao can take me into the water, and can also drag difficult water monsters ashore, you are all very useful!"
One flower and one python raised their heads.
Ye Xi raised his hand, looked at them with wide eyes, and said sincerely: "Really!"
The little flower and Jiaojiao who got the guarantee are happy again.
Ye Xi saw that he had completely coaxed his war pet, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and then finally remembered another living creature he raised, the king silkworm baby, just now he only cared about coaxing Xiaohua and didn't pay attention to the silkworm baby.
But......
He remembered that the king silkworm should be kept on the mulberry tree at the door of the house, but when he came in just now, he didn't see the white and fat shadow of the king silkworm on the mulberry tree, so he asked the red eagle: "Is the king silkworm in the room?"
"No, it's in the back mountain, it's too edible, so the back mountain transplanted a lot of mulberry trees for it. The red eagle smiled when he said this, "Why don't you go and see it when you have time?" ”
Ye Xi's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows: "Wang Chong silkworm has grown up again?"
The red eagle actually sold the guanzi, and only smiled and said, "You will know it when you see it." ”
The baby silkworm is related to the survival of the Mulberry Silkworm Ridge clan, Ye Xi didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately said: "Then I'll go and see it now." ”
Ye Xi went out with the freshly coaxed little flower and Jiaojiao.
Red Eagle, Duan Ling, Chief Tushan and others followed beside him, and also led Ye Xi the way.
When approaching the destination, Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, because he saw a lush ancient mulberry forest that was taller and more spectacular than the main ridge of Mulberry Silkworm Ridge.
The trunk of the mulberry tree is full of ten people, and the mulberry leaves are verdant, each piece is as big as a fan, layer upon layer, covering the sky densely and densely, and the rain cannot penetrate it.
Ye Xi: "Where did you find so many ancient mulberry trees?"
Chief Tushan: "It was transplanted from the Mulberry Silkworm Ridge." ”
"Transplanted from Mulberry Ridge?"
Ye Xi thought he had misheard, and repeated it incredulously.
