Xiao Mo listened to Du Baba's mournful narration, and immediately exploded his lungs: "How can this be reasonable, how can there be such a bastard thing in my clan!" Don't be afraid, I'll be your master. ”

Kangma "pounced" and fell to her knees, crying and saying, "If the little aunt can save us, it will be a great kindness to us. It's just that Quiric has already done it in front of the whole clan, and no one can return to heaven. It's just a matter of sacrificing me, but if it's self-defeating and alleviating, how can it be good? ”

Xiao Mo also thinks this is the truth. After my grandfather died, I didn't know what the situation was in the clan at all, so I might as well go home and see my parents first.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, come home with me and meet my parents first, and then make a decision."

Kangma shook his head again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." I couldn't go, but Quirich told me that I wasn't allowed to have contact with anyone else before the sacrifice, and I was only fasting at home. I took advantage of the fact that my parents had not returned from the mountain, so I secretly ran out to say a few words to Duba, and I was going back soon. ”

"She didn't dare to go, what about you?" Xiao Mo asked.

Du Ba stood up and clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I can save Kangma, I am not afraid of anything." ”

Xiao Mo likes such happy people, and said happily: "Okay, you go back first." In an hour, I will go back to my house. When Kangma couldn't come, I sent someone to call her parents. ”

The two agreed, and took advantage of the night to secretly go back separately. Xiao Mo also turned over and returned to his home. Jumping off the horse in front of the watchtower, the two slaves saw that the little master had returned, and hurried forward to greet him. Xiao Mo handed over the horse to them, walked straight into the watchtower and shouted, "Father, Mother, I'm back." ”

Xiao Mo's parents did not know the news of his pardon. All they knew was that their daughter was first imprisoned in Wenshan County with other clansmen, and then she was sent to Luoyang alone. This special "treatment" is obviously not a good thing, and most of it is more than lucky. Wenshan is too far away from Luoyang, and the people in the clan are panicked and chaotic, and no one can be sent to Luoyang to inquire about the news, so the two elders are worried all day long and wash their faces with tears. Today, when I suddenly saw my daughter coming, I was overjoyed, and patted her shoulder and stroked her cheek: "Daughter, you really came back safely!" ”

Great sorrow wants to cry, joy also wants to cry, and the second elder is so happy that he can't cry. Xiao Mo's emotions were also quickly infected, and the grievances and sadness that had accumulated in her chest like a flood were instantly detonated! The family hugged each other and wept bitterly. Until his parents stopped crying, Xiao Mo was still unfinished crying, and he kept crying. This confused the Huaqing couple. My daughter has always been optimistic and open-minded, don't look at it as a girl, but she is stronger than a boy, since she was sensible, I haven't seen her cry in the past 20 years, what's wrong with it today?

"Xiao Mo, it's good for you to come back safely. Your grandfather passed away, and although you didn't get to see the last one, you can't be blamed. The calamities in the family were all caused by your uncle for no reason, but fortunately, the people were saved, and you don't have to be too sad. ”

How do they know what is going on in their daughter's heart? Xiao Mo didn't speak, and couldn't stop crying, the second elder persuaded him, and he cried for half an hour before he could hold back his tears.

"Daughter, tell us quickly, have you suffered from the county to Luoyang, detained for thousands of miles? And how was he pardoned? Isn't it the one Shu Yan saved you? ”

At this mention, Xiao Mo remembered Shu Yan's kindness again, which only increased his sadness, and his stable emotions were about to explode again. But when I came back, I wanted to spend more time with my parents and see that my parents were healthy and happy, how could I let them worry about their own affairs? You have to pick yourself up and face it with a smile.

"I only suffered a little bit when I first arrived in Wenshan County, and I didn't suffer at all the rest of the time."

Jiang Mu looked Xiao Mo up and down, and sure enough, there were no scars.

"Even if I wasn't tortured, but from Wenshan to Luoyang, I was detained for thousands of miles, and that suffering was enough for my son!"

"Not to mention this, I'm riding a horse, what can I suffer?"

"No, how is that possible? Are you deliberately making up nonsense for fear that I will be worried? ”

Father Jiang laughed and reprimanded: "You have to make up nonsense like a little bit." As a prisoner of the imperial court, he must be a prisoner in a heavy flail, how can he go on horseback? ”

"I really went on horseback. It's just that someone has suffered the punishment of this prison car for me - it's my big brother Shu. ”

"Huh? How could this man be willing to suffer this for you? ”

Xiao Mo pretended to smile as a matter of course: "The two of us are brothers in life and death, I am in trouble, of course he can't sit idly by." The Taishou of Wenshan County was his old acquaintance, and he was afraid that I would be weak, so he begged the Taishou to ride a prisoner's car for me and let me ride a horse. So I didn't suffer at all along the way. Needless to say, when I arrived in Luoyang, who didn't know that I was a treasure order, I was once a smash hit by the emperor's side, and anyone wanted to give me some face, and no one dared to attack me. ”

The second elder was really relieved to have someone so good to his daughter, and Jiang's mother immediately said happily: "That's great." It is a blessing for your daughter to have this person with her for the rest of her life, and your father and I will be blind to death. ”

Xiao Mo really regretted it at this time, he should have made up a nonsense, and he shouldn't have said Shu Yan's benefits directly. "Mother, what do you say? Brother Shu and I are brothers, and it does not involve the personal relationship of children. ”

Jiang's mother looked at her daughter with a smile: "Brotherhood? You can fool others, can you fool me? Can the daughter's mind and mother not understand? To tell you the truth, your father and I have decided to marry you to him. Your father even wrote a letter as proof, did he give it to you? ”

Xiao Mo was sad and embarrassed: "Hurry up and mention this matter." Where do you want to put your daughter? He already has a wife! ”

As soon as she heard this, Jiang's mother's enthusiasm suddenly decreased by half: "He already has a wife?" ”

Father Jiang disagreed: "This is normal. When the husband reaches this age, it is strange that he does not have a wife's room! What does it matter, I have promised people that as long as I can rescue you, I will not complain about giving him a concubine. Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been two masters. My Hua family is also a famous family, since I promised my daughter to others, how can I go back on my word? Where is he from? I immediately wrote a letter to explain the matter to him. ”

Xiao Mo was so embarrassed that he couldn't do it. Parents are so persistent now, if they know the trial process in the Tingwei hall and the result of their own judgment to Brother Shu, then don't you send yourself to Shu's house in person? In a hurry, she made up a nonsense: "He didn't save me at all." Am I myself seeking forgiveness by my own ability? ”

"Jokes. Even the relatives who were imprisoned in Wenshan County have been killed, and you, as a special suspect, can you be pardoned by yourself? ”

"Of course. This is especially the case. As I just said, I am a delicacies, and the emperor will not feel comfortable if he can't eat the food I make for a day, so in order to reinstate me, he specially pardoned me. ”

"More nonsense! In the past, the imperial court used to make you a delicacy because it mistakenly thought you were a man, but now that it knows that you are a woman, and you are a lawless woman who disappears when she says she will disappear, how can she still reuse you? Take a step back, really as you said, the emperor's amnesty for you is a precondition for you to continue to make the order of delicacies, and now you have returned home in vain, how can this be explained? ”

Father is really an understanding person, and he can't deceive him. Xiao Mo couldn't arrange it, so he had to mess around: "Anyway, that's what it's all about, believe it or not." In short, it wasn't Brother Shu who saved me, I don't have to marry him, and my father doesn't have to bear any suspicion of going back on his word. ”

Of course, Hua Qing couldn't explain his doubts, but Xiao Mo couldn't let go and couldn't ask anything for a while.

Xiao Mo remembered what happened to Kangma, and just took the opportunity to divert the topic away from himself, so he stated to his parents the situation on the road just now, and asked for truth or falsehood.

Hua Qing sighed after hearing this: "How is it not true? The first girl has already been sent to the sacrifice. The two girls suffered this misfortune because they were handsome! ”

"What kind of sacrifice is it, how is the girl who was sent before?"

"How to sacrifice, Quirich did not explain, he only asked that the selected girl be sent by her parents to the cliff cave in the north mountain on time, and everyone left, leaving only the girl alone in the cave. Since it is a sacrifice, the girl must inevitably die. ”

Hearing his father say this, little Merton complained and said to his parents: "Quiritch is so ridiculous and cruel, my family is a chief, do you just sit idly by?" ”

Faced with her daughter's complaints, her mother felt guilty and helpless: "Since your grandfather died, no one has been able to control this Quirich. Moreover, there is no man in my family who can inherit the chieftaincy. Quirich certainly had nothing to fear. often use the name of witchcraft to do evil. Your father is a man, but he is Chinese. At present, the Jin court is in decline, and the people in the clan are hostile to the Chinese under the bewitchment of outsiders, so it would be good for your father to seek self-protection, and he couldn't convince the public at all. Now that Quirich is very popular among the clan, our chief's house is secondary. ”

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth secretly: "There is such a scourge in the clan, how long will it last?" I'm going to have to find a way to stop it. ”

"What are you stopping?" Hua Qing shook his head and said, "My daughter was chosen by the sheep god, and her parents thought it was a supreme honor, I'm afraid it would be thankless for you to do this." ”

"What? Were the girl's parents willingly sending their daughter to death by their own hands? ”

"I can't say that I am willing, how can I not be sad that my daughter who has been raised for so many years is gone? But if you are chosen, you will not rebel. ”

"The clansmen are so stupid!"

Xiao Mo traveled from south to north, and his knowledge was certainly extraordinary. And these mountain people have never been out of the mountains for generations. They don't care what the outside world is like, they only know how to follow the customs and rules handed down from their ancestors.

was anxious, Duba arrived on time, Xiao Mo asked him to stay aside first, and sent someone to call Kangma's parents.

Sure enough, as Hua Qing said, when Xiao Mo asked Kangma's parents about their daughter's choice to sacrifice, they did feel a little sour at first, but then they showed great pride. Xiao Mo tried hard to dissuade him, but the other party firmly disagreed. was so angry that Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and jumped to scold, but he couldn't persuade after all. In desperation, I had to let them go back.

In contrast, he is still young and sensible, and he is still shallow in the imprisonment of ignorant thoughts. Xiao Mo called him out, and the two of them discussed countermeasures together. Du Ba is young and vigorous, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, and he is eager to save his lover, and he obeys Xiao Moyan.

Some people died, but not completely......
