"What's the matter, I don't like those naïve little boys. Xiaoying said shyly.

Qin Xian listened to Xiaoying's words and was a little curious: "Oh, then how do you think it's not naïve." ”

"It's not you anyway. Cui Caifeng glanced at Qin Xian and said.

"No, no. Xiaoying felt waved his hand and said: "Brother Qin Xian is very good, he is a responsible man like Abba, Abba said that when he rescued the two of you, Brother Qin Xian hugged Sister Caifeng tightly, and he couldn't break it." ”

"Ugh. Qin Xian touched his nose and glanced at Cui Caifeng, who was standing aside and did not speak, a little embarrassed. But fortunately, looking at a large flat land in front of me, there is only one house,

"Is that that?" Qin Xian asked, pointing to the house and Xiaoying.

"Yes, that's where Ah Gong lives. Xiaoying said.

This house is not a stilted building, but has a smell of a courtyard house. The walls are rammed with green bricks and covered with moss, which looks historic.

"Ah Gong. Xiaoying pushed open the closed door and walked in and shouted, Qin Xian Cui Caifeng followed behind.

The courtyard of the house is large, surrounded by a corridor with a wall, and the red paint on the pillars is somewhat mottled. The hall is facing the main door. Hearing Xiaoying's voice, a young man walked out of the room, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were staring at Qin Xian and the three of them.

"Brother Tona. Xiaoying whispered hello to the man.

"Come in. The man's accent was also a little rusty, but his voice was as cold as his face.

Looking at the back of Tuo Na who turned to go in, Qin Xian groaned and looked at Cui Caifeng. Obviously, Cui Caifeng saw that this Tona was not simple, just like him, but this kind of aura was very strange. It's not like a warrior.

Without thinking too much, Qin Xian and the three of them followed in. Rounding the long corridors, Tona led them to a room with a few bamboos planted outside. Push open the door and enter. Tona respectfully said to the two old men inside: "Ah Gong, Fu Gong." People have been brought. With that, Tonah stood aside.

The old man who sat on the throne had an old face and gray hair hanging down. But his eyes are sharp, and he is smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth. I think it should be the patriarch.

The other old man had a long beard and a kind face. He wore a gorgeous cloth crown on his head, several gorgeous feathers were inserted on it, and the Miao clothes on his body were also different from Qin Xian's civilian clothes, which were embroidered with strange totems.

"The duke came to me in the morning and said that the two juniors would come in the afternoon, and sure enough. The old man on the main seat said as he puffed out a smoke ring. The servant on the side stroked his beard and smiled. Qin Xian and Cui Caifeng stared at the husband curiously, which seemed a bit magical.

At this time, Xiaoying on the side looked at the old man smoking and whispered to Qin Xian and the others: "This is the patriarch, we all call him Ah Gong." Then he turned his head to the long-bearded old man: "This is the man, many of the big and small things in our village are looking for the man, and the people in the village respect them very much."

"Xiaoying, did your father ask you to bring these two offspring up?" asked the patriarch.

"Yes, Ah Gong. ”

As for why Yuka didn't come by himself, it seemed to be expected by the patriarch. I smoked a cigarette and didn't know what I was thinking.

"The two of you must be Qin Xian's descendants and Cui Caifeng's sister. The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, but they are a good pair. Ah Gong smiled after taking a long puff of cigarette. Although the patriarch looked old, he laughed heartily and spoke with a lot of energy. There is no taste of the vicissitudes of old age at all.

Regarding the patriarch's misunderstanding, Qin Xian and the others didn't refute the old man, there was no need for this. The two of them are two-way, and the two old men are fighting. "The patriarch is good, the princess is good. ”

The patriarch waved his hand and smiled: "Call me Ah Gong too, the patriarch listens to the shengfen." ”。 "The two little friends should be a little confused now, come and sit down and talk. Ah Gong pointed to the bamboo chair on the side and said.

Seeing Qin Xian and them sitting down, the patriarch put down the dry smoke, and after thinking for a while, he slowly asked, "Qin Xiaoyou, do you have your jade pendant on your body?"

"Yes. Qin Xian took out the jade pendant from his pocket and stepped forward and handed it to the patriarch.

The patriarch put the jade pendant in his hand, opened his eyes and looked at it carefully, and after a while, rubbed his eyes and handed the jade pendant to the prince.

The servant got the jade pendant, the smile on his face retracted, he looked at the jade pendant with a serious face, and after a while, he stood up and put the jade pendant on the table, and nodded to Tuona. Tona understood, walked to the door, took a cloth bag, and respectfully handed it to the servant.

The man took out a small emerald green bottle from the cloth bag, and the bottle was engraved with three sections of bamboo, with a clear color and a moist pulp. Apparently often played. The man opened the bottle and took out a bamboo branch from the cloth bag and stretched it into the bottle, dipped out some liquid, and carefully dripped it on the jade pendant. Qin Xian and Cui Caifeng were not impatient, they just looked at all this curiously.

After dripping the liquid, the man put the bottle away, and the person slowly circled around the table where the jade pendant was placed, and kept reading something in his mouth. After a while, the jade pendant actually emitted a faint green glow, and the drop of liquid also slowly evaporated, and under the irradiation of the green glow, the brilliance was intoxicating.

Seeing all this, Qin Xian and Cui Caifeng were very surprised. The duke and the patriarch were very excited. After a long time, the green light gradually disappeared. The two gradually calmed down.

The patriarch picked up the dry tobacco and was silent for a while, then glanced at the duke and said slowly to Qin Xian: "Since the jade pendant was obtained by Xiaoyou, according to the ancestral teachings, Xiaoyou is also destined." It doesn't hurt to tell you something. ”

"Where did you get the jade pendant?"

"It's a criminal. Qin Xian replied.

"So Xiaoyou doesn't know the specific source?"

"Well, but this criminal has been wandering around the border of Yun Province for many years. ”

"Well, that's possible. After speaking, the patriarch glanced at Tona, who nodded, and walked out with Xiaoying. Xiaoying knew that there were some things that Ah Gong didn't plan to let too many people know, so after respectfully saluting the two, he took it out with Tuo.

There were only four Qin Xian left in the house. The patriarch asked, "Does Xiaoyou know about Yelang Country?"

"Well, I heard the tutor mention it. ”

"Since the beginning of Great Xia, the country of Yelang has been inherited in this southwest region for thousands of years. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, this place had always been regarded as a barbarian place, but fortunately, it was able to reproduce safely.

According to the records of his ancestors, the first Ming monarch of Yelang Kingdom at that time saw that there were many ethnic groups living in this place, and their living customs were different in all aspects, and there were often frictions and fights. Disputes have continued for many years.

Later, with the efforts of this Ming monarch, these ethnic groups became independent and lived in their own regions. With the passage of time, many small countries have been formed, and these small countries have joined together to form the Yoro Country. ”

The patriarch took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Our Bamboo King Village is the descendant of the Bamboo King, and after the death of the Bamboo King, our clansmen migrated here and have lived here ever since. ”
