Chapter 76: Morning
In fact, if you think about it, I can also understand the one-eyed old man.
Miao Hongqian is my grandmother's eldest disciple, and he is also the son of Miao Hong, and he is also the head of the family that he watched grow up.
And no matter how I say it, I am a latecomer, and if I hand over Miaojiazhai to me, he will definitely be a hundred uneasy.
With that in mind, I waved my hand and said, "That...... Senior brother, I don't know Gu at all, and my cultivation is extremely low, I didn't come back to take over Miaojiazhai, I don't have the ability to manage this village at all. ”
I was open and honest: "Uncle is right, it is inappropriate for Miaojiazhai to be handed over to me, since you were in charge before, you will continue to be the one." ”
Miao Hongqian immediately said: "What the master said is an order, she said to pass on the Miao family village to you, that is yours, don't be afraid, you are still young, there is still room for growth, I will do my best to assist you." ”
"No, no, no." I felt like I had picked up a hot potato, and I couldn't wait to throw it out immediately, "I'll come to Miaojiang for a trip, and I'll go back to Jiangcheng after I finish what I have to do, my mother is still waiting for me at home, it's impossible for me to stay in Miaojiang." ”
Miao Hongqian still wanted to persuade me, but the one-eyed old man hurriedly interrupted him and said: "You push back and forth like this, and you won't be able to produce results for a while, Chonghuan, I'll arrange a place for you to live first, and I'll talk about other things later." ”
Scold.
Mo Jiuqi sneered, and the one-eyed old man suddenly turned red.
He didn't give us a room just now, but now he took the initiative to arrange it for us.
I pointed to Ash Sanxi, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Antidote." ”
The one-eyed old man could only give the antidote, and then pushed Miao Hongqian away, and someone came to arrange a place for us to live.
There are two wings in total, one for Gray Sanxi, and one for Mo Jiuqi and me.
As soon as it was arranged, the food was brought in, and Ash Sanxi was afraid of being tricked again, so he insisted that the person who delivered the meal taste it first.
"No need, they don't have the guts anymore."
Mo Jiuqi picked up the chopsticks and ate them, tossing for so long, we are really tired, after the wind and clouds, Gray Sanxi said that he wanted to secretly turn around the village and left.
Mo Jiuqi went to bed and stretched his waist: "I can finally sleep peacefully." ”
I laughed and said, "You want to stay just to get a room to sleep in?" ”
Mo Jiuhua beckoned me and asked me to go over and lie down with him, he put his arm around me and asked, "When you left Jiangcheng, why didn't you find a way to bring me a letter?" ”
"I'm not going alone, Miao Yi is together, besides, haven't we already parted ways?"
"Are you really that unconfident in me?"
“……”
I would never have thought that Mo Jiuqi would come to Miaojiang, let alone that he would bury the thread so early.
When I came to Miaojiang, I was fighting against the water, so how could I pull him into the water?
I didn't expect to get to where I am today.
I didn't want to continue the topic, so I said, "I think my senior brother is a good man, upright. ”
"Straight like a mallet!" Mo Jiuqi pouted, "If you only seek stability, it's not bad to let him lead Miaojiazhai, but in this society where the weak eat the strong, it's useless to be stable." ”
I laughed, "Then I'll be even more finished, I'm not as good as him." ”
Mo Jiuqi said thoughtfully: "Chonghuan, don't forget, the witch Gu clan has a Gu King, but the Gu King recognizes the master, not everyone can be the master, even if your grandmother can't become the Gu King, then, what about the Gu King?" ”
Yes, what about the Gu King?
Not only did my grandmother not become the Gu King, but even her parents didn't, after so many generations, I just heard about the existence of the Gu King, and I really haven't seen it recognize the master.
"Could it be that the one who is protected by Miao Jiazhai is the Gu King?"
Mo Jiuyu guessed, and the whole person became serious: "Extrapolating like this, I feel that the idea is right, but what is going on with the Gu King?" ”
This kind of thing can't be figured out by conjecture alone, and Gray Sanxi went out for a walk, but he didn't gain much.
"Everyone in the stockade is as shrewd as monkeys, and when they see a living person, they can't pry open their mouths with sticks."
Gray Sanxi complained, Mo Jiuqi only asked her to rest, and would call her if something happened.
After Ash Sanxi returned to the room, Mo Jiuqi hugged me and lay on the bed, forcing me to make up for sleep.
When night fell, no one bothered us again.
Before dawn the next day, I was pulled up from the bed by Mo Jiuqiu, I couldn't open my eyes, and said unhappily: "What are you doing, didn't you say that you want to sleep peacefully?" ”
Mo Jiuqi urged me to get dressed, and said, "I went out for a walk just now, and I found that the whole village had gotten up, all dressed neatly, and they all gathered towards the side of the mountain. ”
I rubbed my eyes and finally came to my senses: "All gone?" Early in the morning, go to the foot of the mountain to exercise? ”
"It's weird, so we've got to check it out." Mo Jiuqi said, "I've already let Sanxi go first. ”
I hurriedly got up and cleaned up, my teeth were not brushed and my face were not washed, and I quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain with Mo Jiuqiu.
It was past five o'clock, and even if it wasn't yet daylight, it shouldn't have been so dark, so it should have been a cloudy day.
As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, a light rain fell.
Halfway up the mountain, there was smoke and nothing to be seen.
It was raining, and the villagers sighed one by one and turned their heads to go home.
"What's going on here? Why did they all go home? ”
Mo Jiuqi also shook his head, we didn't leave for the time being, standing at the foot of the mountain and observing the mountain in front of us.
Everyone was gone, but not far away, there were still two other people.
One of them, dressed in black linen clothes and holding an umbrella in his hand, held an umbrella for the other boy, who coughed twice from time to time and looked thin.
The thin man looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a black cloth coat with a face even paler, holding a handkerchief in his hand, with which he covered his mouth when he coughed.
It occurred to me that this should be my grandmother's second apprentice.
He has also been looking at the mountains, even in rainy weather, it can't stop his persistence.
After a while, he finally withdrew his gaze and saw me and Mo Jiuqi instead.
I finally got a good look at his face.
He is so beautiful, with delicate facial features, a weak figure, and a weak beauty all over his body.
He smiled at me and walked over: "Presumably this is the junior sister, right?" Yesterday, Senior Brother mentioned you to me, I was expecting to see you after the morning festival today, but I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. ”
I caught one word: "Morning sacrifice?" ”
"Yes, the Morning Sacrifice." The man said, "When Miaojiazhai was in turmoil, it was this mountain that helped us prevent all disasters, so from that time on, the people of our village would come early every morning to worship the mountain god, hoping that it would bless us for generations to ......come."
