Before Tian Xiao finished speaking, Panhu suddenly stood up and barked twice outside, looking very excited. He only heard someone shouting: "Is Mr. Gonggong resting? The patriarch sent us to deliver food.
of."
Tian Xiao used a stick to poke the fire surrounded by stones in the room, and replied: "The young gentleman is sitting here, you just bring it in."
Three tall and strong tribesmen brought in three plates, which contained fragrant barbecued meat and cooked noodle soup. Ground beans were also added to the noodle soup. They put down their things, saluted and then left. Chief Bai Xiying
He was very polite and did not dare to neglect Huwa. As soon as he entered the room and sat down, he brought some delicious food for Huwa to enjoy. It was probably something his family was preparing to eat today, otherwise he would not have been able to prepare it so quickly.
.
Huwa looked at these delicacies and said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the clan leader, Xiaobo, please sit down and eat together. Can you feed the bones to Panhu?... I haven't introduced it to you yet. Panhu is this place.
The name of the dog, he is my friend."
Tian Xiao: "Oh, so we are friends. How can we just chew the bones? You can also let it eat meat. This is something given to you by the clan leader. You can do whatever you want without asking.…
…How can I eat these things? Please enjoy it yourself.”
Huwa still smiled and said: "As you just said, this is already mine. I treat you to eat, why should you be polite?"
Tian Xiao thought for a while, then laughed and said: "That's right! It's you who invited me, not the clan leader. Why should I worry about it? Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao!" Then he came over and sat down to eat together. Although he was old,
It is big but its teeth are very good, and the bones are very delicious. It eats not much slower than Panhu.
Tian Xiao chewed the fragrant meat with his mouth full. He asked in a somewhat unclear voice: "Sir, you don't seem to like the leader of the Baixiying clan. I can see it. Otherwise, why would you go to his house instead of inviting you to it?"
Am I here?" When they were eating meat together, his self-identification changed from "old man" to "old man".
Huwa replied: "Compared with the patriarch's house, I would rather stay at Xiaobo's place. Yesterday you said that if I stayed in Baixi Village, I could stay at your house, but I didn't expect that I would actually stay today. As for
I really don’t like your clan leader a bit. It was a windy and cold morning, but he asked the neighbor’s girl to go to the river to fetch water. Doesn’t he have a son in his family? He is also a second-level monk!”
Tian Xiao shook his head and said: "Don't mention it. Bai Xiying's son is so noble. How can he do such a thing as fetching water himself? I wish I could even drink water and be fed! See the adults in the city walls.
With servants at his service, he likes to boss around the villagers, and Weiwei's family is the most bullied. As for me, the old man, I have never been favored by the clan leader. That's why!"
The current patriarch of Baixi Village, Bai Xiying, is the youngest grandson of the old city lord. When he was born, the old city lord was still alive, and his father was the clan leader of Baixi Village. The old city lord, regardless of his status when he was alive, or
After his death, Yuwei has been protecting his people for hundreds of years and has supreme prestige in the eyes of the people.
The chief of the tribe is not hereditary. Instead, he is elected by the tribesmen, and they usually come from the most powerful family in the tribe or village. Bai Xiying can successfully become the chief of the tribe when he becomes an adult, of course because of the legacy of his ancestors. Although Bai Xiying herself has no talents,
But he likes to use the benefits of the village to those who surround him with good words and work hard for him.
Over time, he developed another habit. He liked to boss around ordinary villagers, as if everyone should listen to him and do things for his family. "Baixi" is the family name of his grandfather, because of the village where he was born.
However, it later became the surname of the patriarch’s family, and only the patriarch’s family had the surname Baixi. None of the other villagers had this surname to show that they were of noble birth.
This has gradually led to dissatisfaction among many villagers. If this continues, Bai Xiying's son may not be able to continue to be the clan leader in the future. Bai Xiying himself also feels that, and has been spending a lot of money to ask experts to teach Bai Xihong to practice. Bai Xihong did not disappoint his father.
When he was twenty years old, he finally entered the first realm and was able to practice cultivation. Now, at the age of twenty-four, he is said to be a second realm and ninth-level monk.
Baixi Village seems to be much more powerful than a hundred years ago, but in the Baixiying area, the glory of the family has gradually faded. But now there is a second-level monk, and he is the only monk in Baixi Village. Baixiying and his son immediately
It started to tremble again. Since ancient times, in remote villages like this, if there is only one monk among the clan, then this person should serve as the clan leader in the future, with almost no exceptions.
When Tian Xiao was very young, he worked as the personal guard of the old city lord. When he was old, he returned to his hometown. Because of his age and experience, he was very respected. Because of the relationship with the old city lord, Bai Xiying and his son took it for granted that Tian Xiao was them.
People will listen to what they say, but Tian Xiao is usually not at the mercy of the clan leader.
Tian Xiao once said to Bai Xiying: "Back then, I served the city and was loyal to the city lord. This was my duty as a personal guard. My allegiance was to the city lord at that time, not you. I am not your Baixi family now.
Neither are the servants of the clan. As a clan leader, you should protect the clan, and the organization calls on everyone to contribute to the affairs of the clan, not just to serve you."
Bai Xiyingruo specially hired attendants and bought slaves to serve him, and no one could say anything. However, he liked to ask his tribesmen to do things for him and took it as a matter of course. This was what Tian Xiao couldn't understand the most. Even the adults in the city wall
We can only use our own servants, but we cannot use our neighbors to do our own things!
Tian Xiao also often pointed out the clan leader's faults. He was the only one who dared to say things that others did not dare to say. And Bai Xiying and his son had nothing to do with him, so of course they would not like him.
Weiwei is sixteen years old this year. Her father passed away the year before last and she only lives with her mother. There are no boys in their family. Weiwei is so beautiful that she usually suffers the most bullying. The patriarch and his son often ask Weiwei and her daughter to help them.
The family does all kinds of chores and tiring work, and only occasionally gives them some old clothes and old food, and claims to be "taking care of" them.
As soon as I mentioned Miss Weiwei, I heard her voice timidly shouting from outside: "Uncle Tian Xiao, has Mr. Gonggong rested?"
Huwa stood up and replied: "How can you rest so early? You are eating meat! Is it Miss Weiwei? Come in quickly!"
Panhu had already waggled his tail to welcome him, and followed the cautious Weiwei in. Weiwei was holding a pottery basin half filled with water, with a soft cloth hanging on the edge of the basin, and the water in the basin was still
It was steaming slightly, and she had a leather robe draped over her shoulders. It was daytime, and although there was a fire in the house, there was not much open flame. The light was dimmer than outside, and it took her eyes a while to adapt.
After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Miss Weiwei nodded to Huwa and said: "The patriarch specially sent me to serve you. May I ask what other instructions and needs you have, sir Gonggong?"
Tian Xiao shouted dissatisfied: "The patriarch doesn't have a daughter himself? If he wants to serve the young gentleman, how can he use other people's girls?"
Weiwei hurriedly said: "Xiaobo, please keep your voice down! The patriarch only has his third daughter at home, how can she serve others?...Besides, Weiwei couldn't ask for more than to serve the young gentleman. This is also my honor." At the end, she said
, she also secretly glanced at Huwa, her expression full of curiosity, nervousness and excitement.
Tian Xiao looked at her, then at Huwa, then nodded and said with a smile: "It's true, it's hard to ask someone to be willing to pay for it! Since you are willing, that's another matter."
Huwa also asked: "Why did you bring a basin of hot water? Is it for me to drink? It's too much!"
Weiwei quickly explained: "I will serve you to comb and clean it."
Huwa's brows wrinkled slightly: "Want me to comb and scrub? No need, there is Baixi outside. I will go there myself if I get dirty...Does your clan leader think I'm dirty? But I'm very clean, cleaner than him.
!”
Weiwei was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Tian Xiao was also slightly startled. Huwa's background was obviously very noble. Even the dogs around him were well fed. How could he ask such a question when no one usually serves him?
Come? He then smiled slightly. It must be that this young gentleman deliberately used words to hurt Bai Xiying.
And Huwa said: "Put the basin down quickly, don't accidentally break it again... Just wash your hands in the basin, and then come over and eat meat together."
Weiwei smelled the aroma of barbecue and noodle soup outside the door. Although she deliberately tried not to show her greed, her saliva was secreted and she was swallowing quietly. She could convince herself that she was not greedy, but physically
But his natural reaction was uncontrollable. With Huwa's subtle sense of consciousness, of course he had discovered it long ago.
Weiwei stood still, shook her head and said: "Master Gonggong, you have misunderstood. In fact, I am very careful when working, and I have never broken anything before... This is a delicacy specially given to you by the patriarch,
How can I eat it?"
Huwa smiled and said: "Since it was given to me, I have the final say on how to deal with it, so I treat you to it. You asked me what my orders were just now, and these are my orders. If you ask me if you need anything again,
I just need someone to eat meat with me, come on!"
This statement was irrefutable. After all, Miss Weiwei could not resist the temptation, so she washed her hands in the basin as Huwa ordered, and sat down to eat meat together. She ate so deliciously, although she tried her best to keep it delicious.
He looked at me, but he couldn't stop talking for a moment, so he didn't even bother to speak for a long time.
Before Huwa left the wilderness, he only took the elixir of immortality for a long time and had not eaten ordinary food in the world for a long time. But after entering Bayuan, he ate sweet potato and noodle soup when he met Tian Xiao yesterday, and he ate it again today.
Fragrant meat. It seems that his long journey into the world began with experiencing the fireworks of the world.
