Chapter 18: The Dinner Party

At night, a bonfire was raised in the open space in the middle of the village, and the whole village surrounded the city, singing and dancing, thanking Dugu Changyun and his party for saving their lives. A few men with white cloths wrapped around their bodies came over one by one to toast, and the small mountain village was not so particular, and they thought that the best way to thank them was to entertain them on the highest scale, and to pour wine.

A few girls sat together to tease the children in the village to play, but a few teenagers, since childhood education is very strict, never drank alcohol before, the first time to drink, or the village people brewed their own soju, into the throat like a fire into the throat, a strong cough, tears coughed out, the village people laughed. Living in the palace since I was a child, I never thought that the life of ordinary people could be so happy. Several girls temporarily covered their sadness, talked with enthusiastic aunts and aunts, teased children for a while to cry and laugh, several teenagers were toasted by the villagers, after a few sips of wine began to spin around, singing and dancing around the bonfire, Wang Haisheng was even more wonderful, hugged Mrs. Wang and kissed a few mouthfuls, scared the old lady so much that the crutches were thrown, and the whole village laughed even more happily. At night, against the backdrop of the bonfire, the village looks so small and warm in this barren mountain.

The next day, Dugu Changyun didn't wake up yet, he was noisy by a knock on the door, opened the door and saw that it was Dugu Changlan and Nalan Rou who brought him breakfast, Dugu Changlan looked at Dugu Changyun and laughed vigorously, the rotten meat couldn't help laughing, Dugu Changyun was very strange, touched his face and didn't have anything, and asked them what they were laughing at, Dugu Changlan ignored her, and said to this Nalan Rou: "Sister Rou, I don't know who sang and danced in front of the bonfire last night, and the shoes were gone." Since he was a child, Dugu Changyun has been strict and steady every day because of his special identity, and he has to be strict and steady every day for his sister, Dugu Changlan is also the first time to see his brother so out of shape, Dugu Changyun has a big head for a while, no wonder he can't find shoes, but he doesn't remember anything about yesterday, he looked left and right, closed the door, and pretended to be vicious and said to Dugu Changlan and Nalan Rou: "No one can say anything about this matter, do you know.....?" After talking for a long time, I didn't know what to say, seeing his embarrassment, Dugu Changlan laughed louder, and Nalan Rou couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. Dugu Changyun, who ate this breakfast, was full of heat, thinking about how to cover up this "shame." ”

When the meal came, the two girls also took the shoes that Dugu Changyun had lost, put on the shoes, and gathered a few people to walk towards the prince's house, and there was still business to do. Although this place is not close to the mining city, it doesn't take too long for the demons, and if the demons find out here, then for the villagers who are all ordinary people, the result can be imagined. When I came to the old lady's house, the old lady was telling stories to the children in the yard, which was the only pleasure for the children. Dugu Changyun solemnly told the prince about the invasion of the demon race, and repeatedly warned that the mining city had been robbed, although this place was thousands of miles away from the mining city, but it was only a moment for the monsters that flew very fast, and the villagers who had not cultivated at that time could not even run away, so they fled quickly. Mrs. Wang already knew that Dugu Changyun and his party were all cultivators, and their cultivation was not low, so they would not joke with him about this kind of thing, and they had just saved the lives of the people in the village, but it was not easy for them to relocate, they had lived here for generations, and there were some elderly people who could not leave their homeland.

Mrs. Wang was in a dilemma, he really didn't know what to do, so he had to let Dugu Changyun and a few people rest in the house first, he wanted to go to someone to discuss, Dugu Changyun also understood, no one wants to leave his hometown, and it is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here to the central region, and it is unacceptable to anyone. Several people returned to the house to meditate and practice, waiting for the prince's decision.

Wang Taiye summoned several very prestigious old men in the village to discuss in the house, when the alien invasion and the relocation of the Ju clan were told, they could hear the fierce quarrel, they could only sigh helplessly, all they could do was suggestions, it was impossible to tie them up, they could only save as much as they could.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang came to him with a few old men with red eyes, and after Dugu Changyun asked the old man to sit down, he listened carefully to their decision, and Mrs. Wang said: " We don't have long to live, I'm afraid that even if we go so far, we won't be able to live anywhere, but the young people and dolls in the village still have a long way to go, we can't delay them, and after a while, I will gather the people of the village and let them pack up their things and leave quickly, and we old men will stay in the village, born in this place, and if we want to die in this place, it can be regarded as a fallen leaf and return to our roots." Dugu Changyun is also very sad, these people are all the people of the Xuanwu Dynasty, but when it comes to danger, he, the crown prince, is powerless, he can only watch them stay and wait for death, and there is only endless self-blame in his heart.

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, he left on crutches, looking at the old lady who was still in a good mental state for a while, like a candle in his last years, his spirit and spirit dissipated, and several girls couldn't help but leave tears, everything was so powerless.

After lunch, beside the bonfire that was still singing and laughing on the first day in the village, gathered a group of crying villagers and helpless children, the old lady said very seriously: "The catastrophe is coming, I know that everyone is reluctant to leave the hometown, but for the sake of the village's incense inheritance, I must go, I don't care if the older people leave me, none of the young and middle-aged can stay, I must leave immediately" The old lady finished speaking, as if draining all the strength of the body, the hands on crutches were trembling, and the old tears were horizontal. The cry in the clearing was louder, and the pillars and stones shouted: "Old lady, if we don't leave, we will die and live with the village, how can you let us leave you and escape by ourselves" The man who was not afraid in the face of the wolves cried like a tearful man at this time. The old lady stomped on her crutches and burst into tears: "Do you still think I am an old lady, if I talk is still useful, you will let me go, otherwise...... Otherwise...... Otherwise, I'll crash and die here" After speaking, he was about to hit the stone mill next to him, and the pillar hurriedly stepped forward to grab the old lady, knelt down and cried: "Let's go, old lady, let's ..... The old lady leaned down and touched the head of the pillar: "Pillar, you grew up under my watch, and I can't bear you, but the incense in the village can't be broken, the babies are still young, you can't let them bury us old men" After a pause, he turned his head to the villagers and said: "On the way, you all have to listen to the pillars and stones, they will be the village chief in the future" and lowered his head: "We must let the people of the village live well, our ancestors have passed it down for thousands of years, and we can't break the incense, I beg you, old lady." The pillar was already crying and couldn't speak, just knelt on the ground and hugged the old lady, and the villagers also knelt down, crying shocking and heartbreaking.

All the afternoon crying and packing up.

In the evening, it was still the campfire, but there was no singing and laughter, everyone was in a heavy mood, and after tonight, early the next morning, they were about to go on the road, leaving only a dozen old people who were too old to go, and all of them were tearfully eating the parting dinner.

Early the next morning, the people who want to leave at the entrance of the village to a dozen old people who stayed in the village knelt down and bowed, this worship is the last farewell, the old people all touched the children's heads, and said sadly: "Babies, the grandfathers can't watch you grow up, you must live well" After speaking, they all went back to the village, and the villagers took the long road with crying. Dugu Changyun drew a map of a very safe route according to the previous impression, they had to experience and practice along the way, and it was impossible to take the villagers with them.

A few days later, a few scattered monsters found this small village, and the old people were not afraid to see the monsters that pounced on them, and looked at the direction the villagers left, their eyes showed a sense of relief......
