Chapter 12: Rumors at the rally
"・・・・・・ me, alas, I don't know about it・・・・・・ after all, it's been more than twenty years since I left the valley, and I've long lost contact with the elders in the clan, and the little books you read now are only a small part of what I brought out of the valley・・・・・・"
"When I left, the major elders of the clan tried their best to dissuade me, and I also knew that it was our mission to protect the dragon vein, and it was only in accordance with the mandate of heaven, but what was the use of the mandate of heaven? Even the spirit girls in the clan mysteriously disappeared! Can the mandate of heaven forever protect our tribe that has lasted for thousands of years?!"
"I don't believe it, I secretly ran out to look for your mother without telling the elders, but when I tried my best to find out your mother's whereabouts, I only found the young you hiding in the grass! At that time, I already knew that in the rivers and lakes of the world, many people already knew about the existence of our tribe, and there were many wolf ambitions who coveted the dragon vein related to the luck of the world, so I guessed that your mother might have disappeared from the clan because of this・・・・・・"
Cher listened silently and asked:
"Then Uncle Xiao, why don't you go back?"
"Haha, silly boy! If I could go back, would I still live with you in this small fishing village? The valley inhabited by the tribe is easy to get out and difficult to enter, and the valley moves and changes every day with the evolution of the dragon's vein. This was also a big reason why the tribal elders tried their best to dissuade me. But ・・・・・・"
Uncle Xiao smiled at Xue'er and said:
"It's okay if you can't go back, you have to look at the faces of those elders all day long, and you're annoyed to death!"
Uncle Xiao shook his head helplessly, and Xue'er, who was standing on the side, laughed out loud:
"I didn't expect Uncle Xiao that you still have people to be afraid of! If I have a chance one day, I will definitely go back and take a look at those white-bearded elders who annoy Uncle Xiao to death!"
After Uncle Xiao heard it, he laughed heartily, Xue'er stood aside, listening to Uncle Xiao's cheerful laughter, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, a longing smile floated on her face, the dragon jade on her chest was as warm as ink, it seemed to gradually exude a thousand years of time, and seemed to wake up from a misty sleep・・・・・・ the night splashed ink as deep, and remembered the young man named "Mo'er" during the day, her brother, mother, Xue'er couldn't help but smile slightly, and her hands unconsciously held the dragon jade who was in front of her during the day・・・・・・
At night, the lights on the fishing boats shine on the river, like falling stars in the mortal world
In front of the bamboo building, there are two figures, one large and one small
Tall, revealing half a lifetime of loneliness
Petite, but with a hint of tenacity
In the bamboo building, the crazy young man was still talking vaguely in his dreams・・・・・・
Early in the morning, when the sunlight had just penetrated into the cracks of the bamboo building, I heard an exclamation coming from outside the half-open door, Uncle Xiao heard the call, hurriedly jumped off the bed, and said repeatedly:
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
I saw Xue'er standing at the door, staring at the empty bed in front of her with stunned eyes, and the young man from last night was gone at this time
Uncle Xiao's face was full of surprise: "Impossible, I cast a spiritual spell in front of the door last night, this door ・・・・・・ impossible to be easily opened!"
Xue'er pursed her lips, crossed her hands on her hips and said, "There are windows!" With that, she pointed to the half-open window on the side of the bed!
Uncle Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Xue'er continued: "I woke up Yu'er this morning, but who knew that this little girl's quilt was filled with two pillows!
Uncle Xiao waved his hand and sighed, "This little clever ghost! It's really causing me trouble! But where can ・・・・・・ they go?"
Xue'er looked at Uncle Xiao's anxious expression, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and pursed her lips: "Uncle Xiao, this girl Yu'er likes to make trouble the most, don't you remember what day it is?"
Uncle Xiao suddenly realized, patted his head, and blurted out:
"Fish Viewing Tournament!"
Cher nodded from the side.
"Fish Appreciation Conference" is actually a kind of saying that the people of the fishing village heard from the town in the mouths of those dignitaries and nobles, in fact, it is also a kind of assembly, but the "Fish Appreciation Meeting" is generally held in the town once a year, the dignitaries and nobles in the town, and even the rich and noble children in the surrounding cities also come here to join in the fun, in order to be able to buy a good price for the fish they have worked so hard to catch, the people in the surrounding fishing villages will bring their treasures to the town to gamble, once the fish they catch is favored by some rich people, then the fish caught will not worry about the market! Therefore, this is also an important "big event" that every household in the fishing village cares about.
However, because Uncle Xiao usually treats people in the village, fishing has become the "side business" of Su Xue'er's family, and Uncle Xiao usually doesn't pay much attention to this kind of crowded gathering・・・・・・!
Of course, fish viewing is based on the variety, size, and appearance of the fish, but sometimes it is necessary to taste the deliciousness of the fish! Therefore, the hotels in the town are all lined with streets, and the superb cooking skills and crowds of people are also crowded, and all kinds of small vendors selling groceries and snacks also come to the market, and over time, more and more people gather, and it becomes a veritable big gathering!
Today is just in time for the first day of the rally, and there must be a lot of people going, Uncle Xiao and Xue'er thought of this, hurriedly got up, packed their things, and rushed to the "fish appreciation meeting" in the town!
Along the way, people from the surrounding fishing villages rushed to the town, some with a golden carp, others with baskets full of small shrimp and fish, as if they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
"Hey, brother, have you heard? It is said that the number of people who came to this meeting is far greater than in the past!" said a big man carrying a basket of grass carp to a middle-aged man next to him.
"Ah, what's strange about this, isn't there more people every year than the previous year?!" the middle-aged man next to him replied disdainfully, "You won't be the first time to come to the fair to sell fish, right?!"
"Who, who said that!" Dahan hurriedly said: "I'm the old man of this assembly! I don't know what's going on, this time it is said that even the city lord of Moon City is coming!"
"Tsukijo !!"
As soon as the people around heard about it, they all surrounded it curiously.
"Isn't it! Moon City, that's a place that the emperor can't control! The people in Moon City can all walk sideways when they come out, but this time... The city lord will come to our small place in person!"
The people around were secretly surprised, and Uncle Xiao and Xue'er also followed.
"Oh, yes, yes, I've heard about it, too!
"Ahh
The people around me suddenly felt like a pot had exploded.
"Isn't that a youkai!"
"yes, yes, why don't we go yet?"
"Hey, what are you worried about, with the city lord of Moon City here, are you still afraid that something will happen? Besides, isn't the city lord here for that monster!"
"Well, yes, yes, there are such big people here, and we don't have to worry about ・・・・・・"
After this discussion, the uncles and aunts in the crowd and some people who were purely joining in the fun were not afraid of the monster in their mouths, but there were many people who wanted to see the so-called "fish spirit" soon!
A group of people marched towards the town.
"Uncle Xiao, what is fish essence?"
Xue'er walked up to Uncle Xiao and asked in a low voice.
"Fish essence?!" Uncle Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Hmph, I'm afraid they're talking about the descendants of the Sea Clan's rain god!"
Xue'er was taken aback, opened her cherry mouth slightly, and looked at Uncle Xiao with a confused face.
