Chapter 13 Snow Demon
The leader is the second uncle of our family. He is short and fat. He is completely a big fat man who never exercises. As soon as he speaks, he shakes his fat and is estimated to consume half a gram of calories. The young lady will go to Yueguo tomorrow. I'll wait to see the young lady off. After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring Cheng Yi, who was given to the young lady in the clan."
Cheng Yi is a entangle sent by his relatives and friends when he is about to go out. I went to Yue to make friends. Only a few of them were rewarded by the emperor who stayed at home and were stored in my small warehouse by my father, and most of them were put together in the dowry and taken to Yue. Generally speaking, Cheng Yi doesn't send much, depending on the distance of the road.
After the second uncle finished speaking, he gave way for the people behind him to come over. Six people carried three boxes to each other. When they were put in front of their father, thick dust was stirred up. After the smoke, there were three wooden boxes full of rivets, and the earth trembled when it was placed on the ground.
The second uncle made a gesture, and suddenly someone from the clan came forward to open the three boxes in turn. After seeing what was inside, I took a breath of cool air. The cool wind in the summer night seemed to blow chills at that moment.
The box is full of close and orderly gold ingots, each with a 50-fold appearance. It is estimated that such a large box can buy all the things in the whole store in Liaohua City. If you carry a box to the drunken building, it is estimated that you can buy the whole drunken building.
The second brother glanced at the box on the ground and said faintly, "What does this mean? Cheng Yi's words, the emperor has given a lot of rewards, which is enough to use. The second brother has never had much affection for the clan, and he doesn't care much about the rise and fall of the Fu family. But in our family, he sees more than anyone else, but he never treats our mother, and he also respects him very much.
For the clan, as long as our parents live, it means that wealth and glory will last forever. Therefore, the task of our family is very difficult. What they mean this time is very clear, that is, they saw me get on the car and go to Yueguo happily.
I don't know how many people's fat and people's ointment have been searched by the whole clan to get these back. If we collect it today, maybe the whole Liaohua City will be searched by them three or five times tomorrow. I really don't like these people, although we have the same blood. But the gap between people is really big.
The second uncle smiled and said, "Why do you need to be polite? The eldest lady went here for the rise and fall of the Fu clan. Although we can't contribute to the patriarch as the Fu clan, we should also contribute to the young lady." That's a good note. Since my father got the title, there is no doubt that the name of the patriarch of the Fu clan has fallen on his father.
This is the reason why both glory and loss are lost, so they must keep an eye on me. I looked at my father's hand clenching hard on his back, and the blue veins beating on his wrist. I felt sad. Father, how tired has he been for so many years?
I stepped forward and pulled out a gentle smile. Xiaobai on the table took a breath of cold air. Leave the gold and get out of here." This is what I said. I think how deep is this effort to say something that makes the people present change their color with a smile?
The second uncle's face suddenly became ugly. Not only him, but also the people behind him suddenly changed their faces. But they quickly withdrew their expressions and looked at me angrily. And I stood in front of my father, raised my well-trimmed fingers and said lightly, "If you don't want me to turn around, stay away from my sight as soon as possible."
Actually, when I could stand up and speak, they knew that I would definitely go, but they didn't expect that I would talk to people. It's true that I'm a lady, but I'm also angry, so don't mess with me, or I'll be as rude as I am now.
The second uncle snorted coldly, "We put the ugly words in the front. If the young lady has any tricks in it, don't blame us for being rude. Although the patriarch is the Marquis of Dingyuan, we don't believe that he can bear such glory alone.
I put down my hand, squeezed my lips and swept over fiercely. It's our family's business if you can't afford it. If you want to continue to get contaminated with rain and dew, put your face away and continue to be small. Otherwise, no one's face will look good. Do you think it's your second uncle?
The second uncle looked at me coldly and turned away with a cold hum. Seeing that their troops were going to disappear in front of the moon gate, I said, "If I hear any wind that is detrimental to my family in Yue, you should remember what happened today."
After my words, some people's bodies were uncontrollable. I don't know what my second uncle would look like when he heard this sentence, but it was absolutely not good-looking. His father is the patriarch. He bears the life of a family. First, he lost his wife, and now he wants to lose his daughter. He is definitely uncomfortable.
I don't know how my father survived these three months, but looking at his crumbling body, he has to hold his eldest brother's hand to stand firm. Thinking about it, he must have let himself sleep and eat every time these days, so that he can't stand the iron body for a long time.
I am powerless and regretful and can't save my wife's life. Now I have to send my beloved daughter to a strange country. I came over to help my father's body and comforted him with a smile, "Father, don't worry, my daughter will protect herself." I don't know where my power came from, and a strong self-confidence surged into my heart.
"I believe I can do it." After saying this, the eldest brother held up his glass and drank it all and said to me, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my father and take good care of this family." This is the big brother's promise to me, and I also believe that he can do it.
The second brother's task is to send me to the capital city of Yue, and he will leave. However, looking at the way my father talks to him, I'm afraid it will not be so simple for him to leave. Maybe he will help me deploy something in Yue.
I said, "After I arrived at the State of Wu, I had someone arranged by the emperor to pick me up, so my father can rest assured."
The father nodded, but said nothing. He picked up the tung wine on the table and poured it into his mouth, as if he were drinking boiled water. This night, the four of us have been sitting under the moon drinking and eating vegetables. We are vaguely married maidservant. The second brother also arranged a maidservant named Mu Xin, a very cute girl who has been familiar with me for the past two days and has been quiet.
The next day, we set off. Ten days later, we arrived at the city on the border of Wu, called Xuepo City.
Snow City is a very beautiful city, but this season is not very beautiful, no different from ordinary cities. It is said that this snowy city will be the most beautiful in April and May, and the city is like a heavy snowfall, hence the name.
The greening of Xuepo City is excellent. The roadside is full of thick willow trees, and the slender branches swing with the wind, like a girl dancing. The picture is enchanting. Because it is a border, most of them are mainly ethnic minorities, and this is the largest city at the border between the two countries, so the people here are extremely chaotic.
Along the way, Mu Xin told me a lot of stories about Snow City. It is said that there are demons who can drive foreign bodies. In fact, the so-called demons are evil-looking people. No one knows what race they are. They are very mysterious and have unknown power. They usually look no different from ordinary people, but their pupils will turn into strange red when they are highly nervous or angry, and then drive some invisible. Things hurt people.
The people passed on the demons as if they were so powerful. I remember that the fifth master once said that they only grew up to mutate. In fact, they were originally the same as normal people. As for the foreign body, it was even more ridiculous. What they drove was only some small objects around them that could be controlled by something called spiritual power. It boils down to human genetic variation.
There are also Miao people who can play with all kinds of worms, Catholic Dulong people, etc., which includes almost all races including the State of Wu. It can be seen that the interaction between races is very strong, but they rarely marry foreigners. If someone from the Dulong clan likes people of other races, he will be regarded as a traitor and burned to death in the soul square in the center of Snow City, accused of being a traitor.
When we arrived in Xuepo City, we caught up with an ethnic minority burning the rebels. The man was tied to a high wooden platform surrounded by dry branches. It seemed that he would be executed as soon as the time came. This scene must be extremely cruel, and I seem to smell an extremely obscure smell of blood. How miserable it would be to think that a good living person would be burned to death?
The carriage walked slowly. Three circles outside the center of the square surrounded many people, and there were clothes of all kinds of ethnic groups. Sure enough, it was exactly what Mu Xin said. This is a gathering place for a few famous people. I lifted the curtain and looked at the people on the wooden platform. She was a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was very pure and not very beautiful, but mainly looked very clean.
The girl's face slowly shed tears, but her eyes did not regret at all. The people below pointed, but she didn't care at all, showing that she was ready to die. A woman not far behind her knelt on the ground and cried, illegiblely calling the name of the girl on the wooden platform: Wanyin.
A beautiful name, like a girl, makes people feel comfortable. I am very curious. Although I used to walk and play with Xiaobai when I went to Kunlun Mountain, I have never been to a chaotic city with a large population like the border.
So, I'm curious about what mistake the girl on the wooden platform did to be burned to death. After calling for the carriage to stop, the second brother came over on a jujube red horse. He said lightly, "Don't be extradivid." I know this is not to agree with me getting out of the car to see it, but I think I have only passed through Xuebu City once in my life and will leave the State of Wu soon. I haven't done anything remarkable for such a long time, so I completely got out of the carriage despite my second brother's opposition.
When I got off the carriage, Mu Xin gave me a white veil on my face. Because I was still in the filial piety period, I was as white as my second brother. There is a good saying that if you want to be beautiful and filial, although wearing a white veil, I still hear a lot of cool air around me when I get off the car. In this regard, I think the second brother looks much better than me. The woman is too soft and beautiful, and the man is as handsome as jade. Naturally, there are many nymphomaniac women watching.
I simply had a second brother here, and I wouldn't be the object of onlookers. In addition, my heart and vaguely protected me from left to right, and finally squeezed into the middle of the square. The girl Wanyin obviously also noticed this side. When she saw me, she was slightly stunned and hooked the corners of her mouth with a meaningful smile.
