When Blue Phoenix said this, not only Lan Tian looked at her with a surprised face, but even Wang Li's face was full of puzzlement.

You must know that Blue Phoenix ran out of Phoenix Village in order to escape marriage, but now it means to take the initiative to marry?

Could it be that the person Blue Phoenix wants to marry is her sweetheart, and the reason why she ran away from marriage is because her youngest daughter's mentality is embarrassing, so she will do such a ridiculous thing.

Lan Phoenix found that the people in the room were all looking at him with shocked faces, and smiled bitterly in his heart, and then stroked Liu Hai in front of his green forehead with his hand, in order to hide the desolation in his heart: "Grandpa, I can marry to Miao Shanzhai, but the dowry must be determined by me." ”

"It's up to you?" Lan Tian seemed to know the reason for Blue Phoenix's decision, his face turned straight and asked, "Phoenix, have you figured it out?" ”

"Hmm!" Blue Phoenix nodded, then turned to look at the child who was still on the hospital bed and could not be cured because there were not enough medicinal materials, and said in a deep voice: "I can marry into Miao Shanzhai, but the dowry must be ten times the original." ”

"Hiss......" The people in the room couldn't help but gasp when they heard the blue phoenix.

You must know that Miao Shanzhai has made a lot of money in order to get the Blue Phoenix, but the Blue Phoenix is now going to raise the dowry ten times the original amount, isn't this asking for their old lives!

"Phoenix, although Miao Shanzhai is rich, but you suddenly ask them to come up with ten times more dowry than the original, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?" Such doubts have been raised.

Blue Phoenix glanced at the man coldly, and suddenly the man closed his mouth decisively!

After all, the blue phoenix is the biological daughter of the blue sky, if this is equivalent to a princess in ancient times, it is not too much to mention the dowry ten times as much.

"I know they can't take it, and I hope they can't." At this time, the blue phoenix put away her innocent and romantic appearance, and replaced it with a shrewd face, which made Wang Li amazed.

At first, I thought that Blue Phoenix was an innocent and kind little girl, but now it seems that I still underestimate her a little too much.

"I hope they can't take it out, it's not that you don't want to marry someone else." Someone muttered quietly.

Lan Phoenix didn't find out who said this, she smiled coldly and said, "That's right, I just hope that they can't come up with such a dowry, and finally force them to use those precious medicinal materials treasured by Miao Shanzhai to pay." ”

“......”

It was not until this time that everyone present finally understood why Blue Phoenix wanted to increase the dowry to ten times the original amount, and the feeling was that they wanted to use this to squeeze out the medicinal materials treasured by Miao Shanzhai, as for what was the use of those medicinal materials Blue Phoenix was coming, even if Blue Phoenix didn't say it, everyone knew it.

Lan Tian glanced at the blue phoenix, and he found that the blue phoenix frowned slightly when he said this, although it was only fleeting, but it was still clearly captured by the blue sky.

"It seems that my granddaughter made such a decision for the sake of these children in the village." Lan Tian sighed slightly in his heart, and then asked faintly: "Phoenix, let me ask again, are you really willing to do this?" ”

Blue Phoenix responded to the blue sky's gaze without fear, nodded firmly, and said, "I am willing." ”

Lan Tian looked at the blue phoenix for a long time, and found that the blue phoenix's eyes did not retreat in the slightest, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will pass this news to Miao Shanzhai, as for what choice they will make, it depends on them." ”

Wang Li found that when Lan Feng made this decision, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly sneered in his heart.

It is a shame that a huge village should ask a girl to make such a sacrifice.

It's just that as an "outsider", Wang Li felt that he didn't have much say in this matter, and in the end he didn't say anything to stop it.

"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, let's all disperse!" Lan Tian seemed to be a little tired after what happened just now, he shouted at everyone, and then turned to Wang Li and said, "You come with me." ”

Although Wang Li didn't know what Lan Tian was looking for at this time, he vaguely felt that it might have something to do with the Blue Phoenix, so he followed without hesitation.

Wang Li followed Lan Tian to the study, and then closed the door under Lan Tian's prompt.

Lan Tian didn't sit down, but leaned on the window railing, looked at the blue sky outside, and said a little solemnly: "Wang Li, do you think my grandfather is very unupright?" ”

"As the head of the village, there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. But as a grandfather, you are indeed very unjust. Wang Li's words did not take into account Lan Tian's feelings at all, and he said it directly.

Hearing Wang Li's words, Lan Tian smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I once promised Phoenix's mother that she must take care of Phoenix, but now I want to use Phoenix's lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip." ”

Lan Tian paused, and then remembered that Wang Li didn't know anything about Blue Phoenix's mother, so he explained: "Phoenix's mother is a very good woman, virtuous and gentle. At first, she married into our family despite the opposition of her family, and I was very happy to have such a daughter-in-law, so I vowed to make her happy, but in the end I still did not fulfill my promise. I still remember that when Phoenix's mother was dying, she personally handed over the phoenix to me and asked me to take good care of her, but now ......"

Lan Tian didn't know if it was because he had been suppressed for too long or because he was stimulated just now, so he poured out the past of Blue Phoenix's mother.

It turned out that Blue Phoenix's mother came from a very noble family, and such a noble bloodline naturally hindered the union of Blue Phoenix's mother and father, but Blue Phoenix's mother was also a woman with a strong personality, and she married Blue Phoenix's father despite the family's opposition.

But the good times didn't last long, Blue Phoenix's mother died of a "strange disease", and Blue Phoenix's father disappeared.

Hearing that Blue Phoenix could maintain such an optimistic attitude towards life in the absence of a parent, Wang Li was very surprised.

Lan Tian turned around and found that Wang Li was still in a state of shock, with a wry smile on his face, "Phoenix is a good boy, but he hasn't met a good grandfather." ”

"So you hope that I can persuade the Blue Phoenix that there is no need to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of the village?" Wang Li asked with some confusion.

He seemed to understand a little bit now what Lan Tian meant by what he had just said to him.

Lan Tian nodded, her face becoming a little solemn: "I understand Phoenix, the decision she made will not be changed easily, but I really don't want to see her do things against her will?" ”

Wang Li looked at the complicated blue sky, nodded slightly, and then turned around and said, "I will do my best." ”

Looking at the back of Wang Li's departure, Lan Tian opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't make a sound, just quietly watched Wang Li's figure disappear from his sight.

Before you know it, twilight has fallen. I don't know if it's because of the children's illness that there is hope, the village has returned to its former laughter, and occasionally you can hear a burst of singing from the depths of the village.

In stark contrast to the small forest on the east side of the stockade, there is a slightly lonely figure swaying back and forth, occasionally the owner of the figure looks in the direction of the stockade, and when he sees the lights in the stockade dimming one after another, there will be a slight rubbing of the body.

Wang Li stepped slowly behind the blue phoenix, and when he found the girl in front of him sitting on a piece of bluestone with her knees in her arms, his heart ached slightly.

At this time, the blue phoenix looked so desolate and helpless, as if it was a lonely boat that could not find its way in the sea, and it could be overturned by the upcoming storm at any time.

Wang Li sat down next to the blue phoenix, but he didn't speak, just quietly accompanied her.

I don't know how long it took, but Blue Phoenix finally asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I haven't seen your figure for a long time, and I'm a little worried about you." Wang Li scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, I won't do stupid things." After Lan Phoenix finished speaking, he silently added in his heart: "At least I won't do stupid things when I don't get the medicinal materials." ”

Wang Li glanced at the blue phoenix and found that no matter how she hid it, the trace of loneliness in the depths of her eyes was still not hidden, and he sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Actually, there is no need to do this at all." ”

Blue Phoenix didn't look at Wang Li, but lowered his head very low, until he was about to bury his head in his knees, and then whispered: "I have no parents since I was a child, and I was raised by my uncle and uncle in Phoenix Village." When I saw those uncles and uncles helplessly looking at those sick children, my heart hurt. ”

Before she knew it, Blue Phoenix began to sob: "You know what? I thought I'd be happy that I could finally do something for them this time, but why am I so miserable now, I want to cry in agony? ”

Finding that the shoulders of the girl next to him were constantly shaking, Wang Li hesitated, took the blue phoenix's head out of his knees, and then put it on his shoulder under the puzzled gaze of the blue phoenix, and comforted: "You are very brave, braver than any girl I have ever seen." ”

"Really?" When Blue Phoenix heard Wang Li's words, he quickly straightened up, flashed his teary eyes, and asked.

"Really." Wang Li smiled and wiped away the tears on the blue phoenix's cheeks, and whispered, "But you are also the stupidest girl I have ever seen." ”

“.......”

Are you comforting me or are you hitting me?

Besides, how stupid are people?

Last time, my grandfather's question was the only one in the whole village, and I answered it correctly.
