These four words made Li Maner's eyebrows slightly raised, as if he had discovered some new world.
"Since Miss Seven came here with sincerity, let's talk inside the room!" After Li Man'er finished speaking, he went into the room and sat down at the main seat in the small hall outside.
Xiao Qiniang was not embarrassed and asked her mother-in-law to put the box aside and waved them away.
"Miss Seventh, please take a seat. I have no one to serve you here, and there are no hot tea and snacks. I think Miss Seventh doesn't care about these things."
Miss Xiao Qi's face sank, "What's going on? Miss Li is a distinguished guest. Didn't I tell you that while Miss Li is in the government office, you must not be careless about food and clothing? How on earth do you do things?"
"
The two maids quickly apologized, "Girl, the manpower in the mansion is insufficient, and the general manager has been ill for such a long time. All the smart and capable people have gone to take care of the Marquis, so..."
This kind of statement is not even considered perfunctory, right?
Li Maner sneered secretly, are you really treating her like a fool?
"You still dare to quibble?" Xiao Qiniang shouted coldly, and the two maids knelt down in unison.
Now that things have come to this point, it seems like it's time for Li Man'er to appear. As a guest, if she intercedes on behalf of the two maids, then Xiao Qiniang, the host, won't be able to say anything, so she will naturally expose them lightly and won't punish them twice.
But at this moment, Li Man'er seemed not to understand what was being said. She sat still and didn't answer the conversation at all.
Xiao Qiniang was so angry that she could only say: "You two are not doing well, and each of you will be fined two months. The waiters still have to make arrangements and find two smart people to serve Miss Li.
We can’t let our guests think that I, the Xiao family, are neglectful.”
"Yes. This slave knows."
"Get down!"
The two slaves then withdrew.
Now only Li Man'er and Xiao Qiniang were left in the room.
"Miss Qi, you might as well speak up if you have something to say. I don't like to beat around the bush and guess things that take a lot of my brain." Li Man'er curled her lips and smiled, her eyes moved, and she looked at Xiao Qiniang with a look that revealed a lot of emotions without concealing it.
Very impatient.
The drama you are acting is too ugly, girl, I can't stand it.
When Xiao Qiniang saw this, she was also furious. Ever since she met Li Man'er, it was like meeting her nemesis. Whenever two people faced each other, she would be the one who was at a disadvantage verbally.
"I do have something to ask for." Xiao Qiniang said, "I wonder if Miss Li has ever heard of the Moro Mountains?"
Li Man'er's brows twitched slightly, and she secretly said, "It's coming."
The Xiao family wanted to find the tomb of the Wu tribe, but due to the fatal obstacle of a poison barrier on the way, they could not reach the tomb smoothly. Only by finding a doctor with excellent medical skills to accompany them could they find what the Xiao family wanted.
"The Moro Mountains are famous. Although I am not knowledgeable or skilled, I don't even know this." Li Man'er changed her sitting position and asked, "Why is Miss Seven mentioning this?"
“Miss Li, have you ever heard of the legend of the Uzbek people?”
"Wu Clan? Legend?" Li Man'er shook his head this time, "No." The original owner was an uneducated person, and Li Man'er did not receive any memories about the Uzbek people.
Xiao Qiniang felt that she had finally gained the upper hand and said with some pride: "It is said that the Wu tribe is the human race closest to the gods."
Then?
Li Man'er looked like she was all ears, which made Xiao Qiniang very satisfied.
"It is said that the Wu people are blessed by the gods and have extremely long lifespans, and there are often enlightened people among the Wu people who step on the clouds and become immortals."
Li Maner wants to curse!
Some people believe this kind of invisible thing, and it is even said that there are noses and eyes.
"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing."
"The legend is half true and half false, but the Uzbek people do exist. Maybe they are not as evil as the legend says, but there is indeed something different about the Uzbek people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the favored children of God."
Li Man'er wanted to laugh, but Xiao Qiniang looked at her as if she had never seen the world before, which made her a little unbearable.
"What does the matter about the Uzbek people have to do with me? Or does it have anything to do with Miss Seventh? Could it be that Miss Qi wants to become an immortal and is going to the Uzbek people to find a way to do it?"
Before Xiao Qiniang could speak, Li Maner shook his head and said: "How could I tell you my secret? Besides, the inheritance of blood is not something you can envy. Is it possible that Miss Xiao Qiniang wants to marry a Uzbek tribesman?
In this way, you can be considered as half a Uzbek, and maybe you can achieve enlightenment!"
marriage?
Xiao Qiniang almost choked to death on her own saliva, "The Wu tribe has been extinct for hundreds of years. Girls, it's better not to talk nonsense, lest disaster comes from your mouth."
"Ah? The clan has been exterminated." Li Man'er curled his lips, "They said they were blessed by the gods, but they are all dead, how can they be blessed?"
Xiao Qiniang's face darkened again, "Miss Li, have you ever thought that since the Uzbek people are very rare and live in the mountains all year round, maybe they have not all died, but have all ascended to heaven?"
"Isn't that the same? What's the difference?"
Well……
What should I do if I really want to hit someone?
"I mean, is it possible that all these people have become enlightened?"
Li Man'er only said: "How do I know that Miss Qi asked the wrong person? I have never even heard of the Uzbek people. It was only after I heard you talk about them that I learned that there was such a tribe in the world a hundred years ago."
All right!
Xiao Qiniang only said: "If you are interested, young lady, I can tell you the story of the Uzbek people."
"This girl is not interested!"
Xiao Qiniang gave a stiff smile and said, "Miss, what I am asking for is closely related to the Uzbek people. How about you listen to what I have to say?"
"I'm not blocking your mouth, you can tell me."
"The Wu tribe, according to legend, is an ethnic group that has never been born. Their lineage has been around since ancient times. It is said that they are servants of the gods." Xiao Qiniang said: "There are not many things left by the Wu tribe. Historical data
There are very few records. Moreover, it is said that their clan had difficulty in reproducing, and by a hundred years ago, it had already withered away greatly."
Li Man'er didn't seem to care on the surface, but secretly he listened carefully with his ears pricked up.
"According to legend, a hundred years ago, someone strayed into the deep forest. He thought he was going to die at the mouth of an animal, but he was saved by the natives in the forest. Those who rescued him were called the Wu tribe. Everyone was barefoot, white-clothed, and scattered, which was in keeping with the ancient times.
The characters are dressed similarly.”
Li Man'er stretched out her hand to interrupt Xiao Qiniang's words, "Let me interrupt, is this a myth or legend, or is it true?"
Xiao Qiniang thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but there is a picture that has been handed down, and what is recorded on it is this story."
picture?
"What picture?"
"After the man was rescued by the Uzbek people, he walked out of the deep forest. Feeling that this was something extraordinary, he drew the route he walked on the mountain road and the habitat of the Uzbek people on a parchment scroll."
Scrolls.
Li Man'er nodded thoughtfully, "Could it be that Miss Xiao Qi has a parchment scroll in her hand?"
"Fragments of the scroll."
Li Man'er pretended to be very surprised, "It seems that what happened to the Uzbek people is true?"
