"distant!"
"Brother Xiaotian!"
Ye Xiaotian met Yaoyao on the way, and Yaoyao was walking on the mountain road on the back of a man from the Miao family. When he saw Ye Xiaotian, Yaoyao struggled excitedly. Just as the man from the Miao family put her down, she was like a happy Yanzi threw herself into Ye Xiaotian's arms, and burst into tears with a "wow".
The men from the Miao family who escorted them from far away stood aside indifferently at first, but when the person who reported the news first said that the handsome young man in front of them was Venerable Gu God, they immediately fell to their knees in a panic and respectfully Ye Xiaotian kowtowed.
Ye Xiaotian patted Yaoyao's back, comforted her softly, wiped away her tears, then handed her to Hua Yunfei first, then walked over, helped those Miao guys up one by one, and greeted them Solemn thanks.
Those Miao men listened to the translation and realized that the Venerable was expressing his gratitude to them. They were so panicked that they almost kowtowed again. Only then did Ye Xiaotian understand his identity as a Venerable, in the hearts of these rough and simple Miao men. , really has the supreme status.
After thanking them, Ye Xiaotian took Yaoyao back and comforted her: "Okay, okay, let's stop crying, isn't this coming back, Brother Xiaotian will definitely protect you from now on, and will never let anyone take you away again." Captured. Where are you these days, have those two villains bullied you? "
Yaoyao was whimpering, talking all about how he thought about Brother Xiaotian these days, how worried he was, Ye Xiaotian asked while comforting him, and after asking patiently for a long time, he gradually sorted out the meaning of Yaoyao's confusing words.
Yaoyao said that after Ye Xiaotian left the inn in the heavy rain that day, a waiter came to sit with her in the room. She didn't know the waiter well, so she just played with Fuwa, and the waiter sat at the table and watched them.
After a while, someone suddenly opened the door and came in. The waiter stood up in surprise and asked the person's identity, but suddenly a goatee rushed in front of him with a stride, and stabbed him with a knife very quickly. throat.
The little boy sat down as soon as his body softened, and slammed his head heavily on the table. Seeing this, Yaoyao was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but another person quickly came over, covered her mouth with a cloth that smelled of medicine, and followed her unconscious.
When she woke up, she found that she had been packed into a bamboo basket and carried up the mountain. They walked in the jungle for a long time. Ever since they met Ye Xiaotian and the others at a cliff that day, the two of them took her along a long mountain road, and then covered her mouth with the medicine-smelling cloth , she passed out.
When she woke up again, she found that she was in a cave, and beside her was a middle-aged man in brocade clothes who was smiling and playing with the small wooden card that she had worn on her chest since she was a child. Seeing her wake up, the man said He is Yaoyao's biological father. He brought her back this time to take her home to enjoy the blessings.
Of course Yaoyao refused to recognize a father out of nowhere, but she was very sensible since she was a child, and she never cried or made a fuss, just sat with her hands on her knees, leaning against the cave wall, and refused to call that person her father, and just responded with silence . The man talked alone for a while, felt bored and walked away.
Afterwards, those two people were still in charge of taking care of Yaoyao, but they never abused her, but they never allowed her to leave the cave. One day later, the man who claimed to be her father came to see her again and teased her, but Yaoyao still ignored him , the man was not angry, just talked with her for a while with a smile, and then left again.
In this way, the man came several times one after another, but each time the time was very short, and the time between them was also very long, as if he was very busy. Anyway, every time he came to Yaoyao, he kept his mouth shut and kept silent. He just listened to what the man said, saying that she had several older brothers and sisters, and he would take her home when he finished his work here, so that he would never be bullied again. .
Until yesterday, Yaoyao was suddenly fascinated by the goatee again. When she woke up again, she found that she had changed to another cave. In the cave, she heard the goatee was discussing with another person at the entrance of the cave, saying that her father died, and the benefits that she had promised were also gone. If it's gone, it's better to steal the child away. If her family cares about it, they can redeem some money. If they don't care about it, it's not a waste of time to sell it.
Yao Yao was terrified after hearing their conversation. She pretended not to hear anything, slipped out when they relaxed their vigilance and went out to get water, and played "hide and seek" with them in countless nearby caves. Later, she discovered these Miao uncles.
At this moment, Ye Xiaotian and his group were resting by the roadside. Ye Xiaotian was sitting on a big rock, holding Yaoyao on his lap and listening to her talk. When he heard that the man claimed to be Yaoyao's biological father, he couldn't help being shocked, but thinking about it carefully And it makes sense, if it wasn't for that, there would be no reasonable explanation for those two people's deliberate deliberation to kidnap Yaoyao.
But, who is Yaoyao's biological father, and how did he die? Quite a few people died in the past few days, and there was not only one person with power and status, but it was not clear who it was at the moment.
Ye Xiaotian asked Yaoyao, but Yaoyao didn't know, she never spoke in front of the person who claimed to be her father, and that person just smiled helplessly, and that person described her mother's appearance to her to prove that he was indeed Yaoyao. biological father. But when Yaoyao's mother died, Yaoyao was still very young, and she had a very shallow impression of her biological mother, so how could she prove whether what that person was telling the truth, even if it was the truth, she still felt alienated from that person .
The man saw that Yaoyao kept silent in front of him, but he never said anything else to her. Every time he came back to see her, he would ask her if she ate well, if she slept well, and to make sure that she was done with her work. take her home.
Ye Xiaotian asked about that person's appearance again, but Yaoyao was also vague, she was young, how could she tell the other person's appearance clearly, at most she said that the person was tall, that person had a beard, that person spoke very kindly and so on.
Zhan Ning'er interjected: "Forget it, Yaoyao is still so young, you can't figure it out. No matter who that person is, he's dead anyway, so it's good to find Yaoyao now. Seeing that it's getting late, let's go back to the temple Well, otherwise, I’m afraid I’m going to sleep outside tonight.”
Ye Xiaotian touched the wooden sign hanging on Yaoyao's neck and was thinking about it. When he heard Zhan Ning'er's words, he nodded slightly, looked at Yaoyao whose tears were still wet, and said softly: "Let's go back, let's go In two days, Brother Xiaotian will take you home, to our own home."
Yaoyao put his arms around his neck, happily said: "Brother will always take care of Yaoyao, and never leave me again?"
Ye Xiaotian nodded with a smile, and said: "Yes! As long as you are willing to follow, my brother will take care of you for the rest of your life!"
Those Miao people had been standing aside respectfully, they didn't dare to sit down when Ye Xiaotian sat down, then only one person came forward holding a knife, lowered his head and said a few words to Ye Xiaotian.
After hearing this, Zhan Ning'er said to Ye Xiao: "They said that the two villains who kidnapped Yaoyao are both dead, and at this time the saber was found from one of them."
Ye Xiaotian stretched out his hand to grab the knife, but saw that the knife was a scabbard of an old bear skin, the semicircular old copper engraved knife mouth was polished brightly, the handle was covered with silver and silk, very delicate, the length and weight were also very convenient, Then he hung it on his waist.
※※※
Ye Xiaotian is about to leave the temple and go to "travel the world". At this time, after a hard selection by the eight elders, they finally selected a person for Ye Xiaotian who could accompany him and teach him Gu skills.
Ge Dewa led the man to Ye Xiaotian, and introduced: "My lord, this is the person we have chosen for your lord to accompany you and teach you Gu skills. His name is Dong."
Ye Xiaotian looked at the man, he was half bald on the top of his head, with a bulbous nose, tall and thin, wearing a black robe, with a slightly hunched body, as if he was a bit hunchback. Breath, I felt a little unhappy at first, and asked: "Winter? Was he born in winter?"
Ge Dewa laughed and said: "No, no, we Miao people have the same name from son to father, and the surname is based on the father's name, and the surname is put behind. His name is Dong, and his father's name is Tian, so he is called Dong. His grandfather's name is Bo. So his father's full name is Tianbo."
Ye Xiaotian said "Oh", and looked Dongdong up and down again. Dongdong still had no expression on his face, but his waist bent towards Ye Xiaotian consciously. It seemed that he was just born with a paralyzed face, not on purpose Put on such a cold and arrogant demeanor.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but asked again: "Why does he always look at me with his eyes squinted, looking malicious."
The man obviously understands Chinese, and he felt a little embarrassed when he heard Ye Xiaotian's words. Gedeva explained with a smile: "Winter's eyes are not good, and you have to squint to see the appearance of the Venerable. He is already People who are with the Venerable, how can I not recognize the appearance of the Venerable."
After Ge Dewa finished speaking, he turned around with a smile and said, "Winter, hurry up and meet the Venerable. From now on, you will be at the side of the Venerable, and teach the Venerable Gu skills when you have time."
Dong Dong lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Ge Dewa said: "My lord, Dong Dong is one of my proud disciples. Originally, I intended him to inherit my mantle, but unfortunately this child is not well-versed in the world, so he only wants to study Gu art, so he is not the most suitable for handling educational affairs. The candidate, but he is the best candidate to teach Venerable Gu Art."
When Ye Xiaotian heard it, he was clearly a different kind of nerd, but what a nerd reads is the book of sages, and what he studies is Gu. With such a person by his side, he would definitely not meddle in his own affairs. The appearance is a little dissatisfied, but now it looks a little pleasing to the eye.
The eight elders of the temple led all the people in the temple to send off the Venerable in a line outside the temple. Ye Xiaotian took Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi out and said goodbye to them one by one. Came with the whole family too.
The Venerable's departure lasted for at least three to five years, and at most ten or eight years. How could Gedoldo miss such a rare opportunity to get closer? He also purposely hugged Ye Xiaotian's godson, Xiao Mijiu.
Mijiu was sleeping soundly in his father's arms, his little finger was still in his mouth, and his pink and cute appearance was indescribably painful. Ye Xiaotian held him in his arms, and suddenly thought that after he got married and had children, he would also have For such a cute little baby, although he has never been a father yet, he suddenly has the feeling of deep love between father and son in his heart.
"Wealth and splendor, beauties like clouds... can't be exchanged for one's own flesh and blood, it's worth it!" Ye Xiaotian thought, and kissed the sleeping Mijiu's cheek lightly. I really like this child, and I can't help smiling from ear to ear.
When Ye Xiaotian returned the Mijiu to Gedore, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two resentful eyes looking at him beside him, his eyes moved suddenly, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Sister Sun gently pursing her lips, looking down at on her own toes.
Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered what he said to Godewa: "Well, if sister Sun really sent her daughter to serve me after twenty years, wouldn't the kid in my arms become my uncle? Uncle is I'm a son, and my godson is my uncle, what is going on in this life?"
