Chapter 236 The Fog
The two were thinking when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the woman's crisp voice sounded: "Your Excellency, can I come in?"
"Please come in." The red sandalwood said lightly.
It was a girl who came in. The girl stepped into the room carefully, looked at the red sandalwood curiously, and then timidly handed over the tea in her hand and said sweetly, "Your Excellency, this is the tea I cooked with peach blossom dew. Can you try it?"
Those eyes are full of expectation.
The red sandalwood reached out and took a sip. As expected, it was full of fragrance and nodded, "Thank you, it's delicious."
Listening to her praise, the girl danced happily but abruptly suppressed the joy in front of her and said obediently, "If you need anything, please tell Shuishui, no, anyone on this island can speak. No matter what you want, everyone will try their best to give it to you.
Shui Shui's happy tone, as if it is a happy thing to serve her.
It seems that this witch's status in the clan is really high. Red sandalwood played with the teacup and whispered, "Is Shuishui a resident of this island?"
As soon as Shuishui heard the red sandalwood question, he said without thinking, "Yes, Shuishui is from this island. It should be said that the people on this island have lived here for generations, living and resting in peace under the light of the witch."
In this case, this demon girl is not a person but a god. Red Sandalwood looked at the innocent girl in front of her and couldn't find anything like that on her face. Anyway, she was idle. Let's talk for now, "You never leave here?"
Shuishui nodded naturally and said, "Of course, Shuishui likes it very much, and the people like it very much. Why leave?"
If she didn't come from the outside, look at this paradise-like environment and listen to these innocent words, I'm afraid she will really believe it. However, it's strange that this water has no power. She has already felt it all the way. Most people on the island have no power. It's really like happy residents, of course, except for those elders.
If according to this water, they never leave here, and even never want to leave here in the future, then why do the remnants control the miasma of the five countries in the mainland? What else is tricky about this?
Seeing that the red sandalwood was silent, Shuishui couldn't help whispering, "Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." The red sandalwood said faintly. It seems that this water is an ordinary resident, and I don't know anything about the outside world.
When Shui Shui saw that the red sandalwood's face was flat, he couldn't help whispering, "Well, sir, the water has left first. If you have anything, just call me at any time. My family lives next to this house."
"Good." Red sandalwood answered Shuishui and left reluctantly. She turned to say in a low voice, "What do you think?"
"It seems that the ordinary residents of this island do not seem to know anything about the mainland." Wucang Jue Lanfeng's eyes were full of brilliance and confusion, and he smiled leisurely and said, "What they don't know, there are always people who know. Even if we don't say it, we can look for it by ourselves at night. Besides, didn't they invite you? There will be a reception banquet in the evening. Let's have a look then.
"That's the only way." The red sandalwood said in a light voice.
Next, one after another, curious residents brought their homemade or precious things to see their witches, and the answer of these people was undoubtedly not the same as the water. They basically didn't know it, and the two of them didn't ask anything.
It was not until the evening that one of the four elders came to invite them to the banquet in person.
The banquet of the water demon family is located in the square in the center of the island. The bonfire in the square is full of songs and dances. It is said that men, women and children of the clan have come.
The red sandalwood changed the clothes prepared here. It is said that it is a witch's dress, a wide-sleeved robe, the cloud temples are high, and the fog and flowers are looming on the forehead. The ice-blue ancient laurel crown is worn on the top of the head, which is ethereal. It really looks like a divine messenger.
It seems that everyone has the talent to be a magic stick.
Wu Cang Juelan is dressed in blood, but no one has any special requirements for him, and even no one thinks that he exists. Of course, it was intentional and silent rejection, which made him inexplicable for a long time, and then he thought it was quite interesting.
"Your Majesty has arrived." I don't know who shouted, and the crowd immediately looked this way. After a moment of silence, the whole bonfire suddenly bowed down to her, and the whole body crawled to the ground, which was the highest etiquette.
At a glance, the red sandalwood saw that most of them had worshipped. Only one person in the main position stood upright and the four elders bent slightly. The man looked at her with sharp eyes. He was about fifty years old and was in high spirit. He didn't look old at all. Presumably, it was the patriarch metasequoia.
"Welcome to the return of the witch to the clan." The powerful voice of Metasequoia passed through the field.
Red sandalwood leaned over and gently picked up the nearest old man and whispered to the court, "You're welcome, please get up."
People got up one after another. Looking at her eyes, the hot pillow was really a little overdone.
"Your Lady, this way, please." The elder who led them led her to the throne.
The red sandalwood swept quietly and saw that the patriarch was sitting in the main seat. There were two empty cases on both sides of the patriarch. The lower row was led by the four elders, and the leading elders guided her to the high position on the left side of the patriarch, and the one on the right must not have arrived.
As soon as the red sandalwood sat in the position, the song and dance below continued to open, and people's faces were happy.
Wu Cang Juelan sat next to her and no one cares. Anyway, he completely ignored his existence. He unconsciously drank wine and looked leisurely at the dance with a smile on his lips.
"Your Excellency is in the Hui clan, can you still adapt to it?" The patriarch Metasequoia turned his head at this time and said with a stiff tone of concern.
"It's good." The red sandalwood said lightly.
Sequoia nodded when he heard this and said intentionally or unintentionally, "It will be a long time in the future, and you will like it here after a long time."
It's been a long time. Now it's hot outside, and they don't have time to chat here. The red sandalwood's clear eyes looked at the metasequoia faintly and said, "The scenery here is very beautiful. It is indeed a paradise, but Linmu has a lot of affairs. I'm afraid it won't stay for a long time."
"Oh, I don't know what's the matter with you?" The sequoia sat firmly like a mountain, and its tone was indifferent.
Red sandalwood actually said bluntly, "The mainland is full of wind and cranes. Although Linmu doesn't have much ability, he still hopes to do his best to make those innocent people suffer less disaster."
This does not mean how kind and righteous you are, but specially aggravates the words "too much ability" and "innocent letters". Naturally, it means to hold a gun and a stick.
It's not that she is reckless, but that she goes to a completely strange place. Slowly groping may not be as fast as frightening the snake, especially in the case of rush.
I don't know whether Metasequoia understands it or not. He said, "It's the blessing of my water demon family that you have such a kind heart. If it weren't for the power and powerlessness of our family, I really want to give you a little strength to help you."
With no power, in a word, it's really clean. Red Sandalwood was not going to look at him carelessly. He asked lightly, "Linmu is really curious. Since it is a corner of peace, why will my mother become a concubine who has left the country instead of the clan who never goes out on this island?"
Metasequoia said without blinking, "The marriage is doomed. Since Su'er is predestined to leave the emperor, no matter what his identity is, he only likes the elements. Naturally, as a father, will not be stopped."
Father? Does that mean that this person is still her grandfather? Is there such a cold-hearted grandfather? This old fox speaks flawlessly. She believes in marriage, and she believes that there is a ghost in this marriage!
Red sandalwood was originally calm, but as soon as he heard that this man turned out to be her grandfather, he was a little a little outraged. He was about to open his mouth, but he was hugged by the people next to him. His slightly drunken voice became more and more evil, shouting, "Come on, Amu, drink with me. This wine is really delicious."
Wu Cang Juelan raised his glass to his lips and kept drinking. The waves in Danfeng's eyes were blurred, and the white porcelain-like cheeks appeared burgundy as if smoked intoxicated.
"You're drunk." Red sandalwood took the wine glass in his hand and put it on the table. He wanted to pick him up and lean on her body like mud. Unexpectedly, he lost the glass and went to get the wine pot.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk." He leaned on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, and even the emperor said it casually.
Since Wu Cang Juelan leaned on her, the people who were quite engaged in singing and dancing looked at this side with dissatisfaction. The red sandalwood glanced his eyes and said to the patriarch with a little apologies, "He's drunk. I'll send him back to the room first."
She was about to get up when the patriarch said quietly, "Your Excellency attended the family banquet for the first time, and the people watched it. I'm afraid it's not good to leave at the beginning. Shui Yin, you go and see this one off."
Metasequoia said in a word, and a man standing behind him immediately took over Wucang Juelan.
Red sandalwood didn't say much, so he let the drunken Wu Cang Juelan leave with the stranger. The patriarch just said that this is just the beginning. That tone is obviously telling her that you don't want to read it? The drama has just begun! Why don't you let her stay? As for him, I'm afraid it won't be like this if he is really drunk.
After Wu Cang Juelan left, the people of the people smiled one by one. Even the little girls sent her a wreath, and the simple residents also toasted her sincerely.
"Congratulations to the witch." The residents raised the cup with joy on their faces and congratulated them in front of her.
Then, many people gathered around and said with joy, "For many years, I finally waited for this day. Congratulations, Your Excellency."
"Yes, it's God's grace for you two to appear in the world at the same time."
"Isn't it? It's the well-being of the witch and the happy event of our family."
In the fog of red sandalwood, the intuition is that it is not as simple as picking her up the wind. What congratulations? What's the mess of the world at the same time? She took a glass of wine in her hand but didn't drink it. Instead, she asked the toasting man softly, "Congratulations?"
"Of course, congratulations--" The man was happy to reply as soon as he heard the witch's question, but at this time he heard a high voice: "Your Excellency the demon husband is coming--"
