Chapter 313: Fire Festival is not as delicious as eating melons

April 4th.

Nangong family, the much-anticipated opening fire festival begins.

Host: Nangong Yetian

In charge: The four elders of the Nangong family

Visit: The entire Nangong family

In the square, thousands of people watched "Nangong Liu" tied tightly to a cross wooden frame with iron chains.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his look was terrified and helpless. He kept shaking his body, and his whole body was covered in blood. His bound arms were missing two hands.

The people of the Nangong family are not surprised.

There is no need to think about it. It must have been Nangong Cheng from the clan leader's family who chopped off Nangong Liu's hands. It was a good thing that he didn't die.

On the high platform, Nangong Yetian and his wife sat upright on chairs with frowned brows. For some reason, they always felt panicked.

The kind that can't be described.

Nangong Yetian looked at his daughter Nangong Xin behind him, "Xin'er, where is your brother? Why hasn't he come yet? He is really getting more and more unreasonable."

Nangong Xin heard this, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes, and she said in a delicate voice, "Dad, I heard from the servants these two days that my brother tortured Nangong Liu for a whole day and night, and only stopped this morning."

"I guess my brother must be tired and is catching up on his sleep in the yard right now."

Nangong Yetian's brows relaxed slightly, "Well, Xin'er is right, but I always feel like something is wrong."

Isn't it more satisfying to witness Nangong Liu being burned to death in public than torturing Nangong Liu in private?

"What's wrong?" Nangong Xin said unhappily, "Dad, my brother has always been bad-tempered. If you ask him to behave himself, I'm afraid he will be in trouble soon."

"Also, he must be angry in his heart, angry that you and mother insisted on keeping Nangong Liu alive. According to his temper, he would have killed Nangong Liu and fed him to the dogs long ago."

Nangong Xin became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She was angry that her parents valued her useless brother more, and she was angry that Nangong Liu had his men cut off her left arm.

Looking at the empty sleeves, Nangong Xin became furious, and her originally pretty face instantly became distorted and hideous.

"Mom and Dad, it's almost noon. Today's fire sacrifice to Nangong Liu is the real business. Why do you care about my brother? He can come if he wants. If he doesn't want to come, forget it."

Instead, it made her feel disgusted.

She never thought that her brother would have such thoughts about her. If he was good-looking and capable, she wouldn't care.

But her brother has no ability at all.

If he hadn't had his father, the clan leader, as his backer, he would have been beaten to death by the tribesmen he had bullied.

To call him a dandy is to overestimate him.

It’s a pity that she is a girl.

Seeing that her daughter's temper was starting to get bad again, Nangong Yetian's wife, Huang Ju, tugged at Nangong Yetian's sleeve and gave him a look.

"Husband, don't worry about Cheng'er for now. It's rare for Xin'er to come out with us. Let's not affect her good mood."

Without waiting for Nangong Yetian to reply, Nangong Xin's face became furious, and she screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"In a good mood? How can I be in a good mood now?"

Nangong Yetian’s expression gradually became unhappy.

Huang Ju felt something was wrong when he saw this, and he quickly pulled Nangong Xin's hand and comforted her in a low voice.

"Xin'er, don't be angry. This is not the place for you to lose your temper. All the tribesmen and elders are watching us. If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your father, right?"

As the patriarch of a clan, he values ​​his reputation the most.

When Nangong Xin heard this, she felt her blood boiling and the violence in her body became more intense.

Today, she couldn't control her temper and felt extremely uncomfortable if she didn't.

"Don't touch me." Nangong Xin's eyes widened and she shook off Huang Ju's hand. "Since Nangong Liu ordered people to cut off my left and right arms three months ago, I have never been in a good mood again."

"Mom and Dad, it's all your fault." Huang Ju's eyes were full of blame and anger, "If it weren't for you back then..."

"Shut up!" Nangong Yetian stood up suddenly and slapped Nangong Xin in the face, his expression extremely gloomy.

He glanced at the four elders sitting not far away on the podium, who looked unhappy but did not hide their eyes that they were watching the show.

He bit the back of his teeth and whispered a reminder to Nangong Xin, who looked like she had eaten dynamite.

"Xin'er, I hope you know what to say and what not to say. Otherwise, don't blame me as your father for expelling you from the Nangong family, so that you can no longer rely on the power of your family to do whatever you want."

It’s just a daughter. If she’s gone, she’s gone.

Nangong Xin's face turned pale and blue, but the anger on her face became more and more intense.

Huang Ju saw this and thought something was wrong. She stood up and tried to pull Nangong Xin to her residence. "Xin'er, stop messing around and go back with your mother."

This irritability is getting more and more serious.

If I had known that she would act like a demon today, I should not have brought her out to watch the fire sacrifice.

While Huang Ju was pulling Nangong Xin, he did not forget to comfort Nangong Yetian softly.

She knew very well that Nangong Yetian was cruel. If anyone violated his authority, even his own children, he would kill them.

Nangong Liu is a living example.

Being possessed by an evil spirit was just an excuse he made up.

"My dear husband, please don't be angry. I will take Xin'er home right now and kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on my behavior."

Nangong Yetian frowned and gave Nangong Xin a warning, "Well, you guys go back!"

Don't delay his important business.

"I won't go back!" Nangong Xin's face was ferocious, and she used all her strength with her right hand to push Huang Ju away.

"Xin'er, hiss——" Huang Ju's face changed drastically, her body became unstable, and she fell heavily to the ground, grimacing in pain.

"Hey, what is the clan leader doing?"

"You are blind, there is an internal fight!"

"Hahahaha, today's show is getting more and more interesting."

"Of course, the fire sacrifice to Nangong Liu is not as joyful as watching the clan leader's family make a fool of themselves, hahahaha."

“…”

The farce of Nangong Yetian's family soon attracted more than a thousand pairs of onlookers in the square.

At this time, the two little guys, Luo Ranran and Lian Jin, each carrying a big bag of melon seeds, walked among the crowd and sold them.

Luo Ranran raised her cute and soft little face and shouted in a baby voice: "Eating melon and eating melon seeds is a perfect match. It doesn't cost ten cents, only nine cents a bag. Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, don't miss it if you pass by~"

Lian Jin couldn't move freely after all. She just followed Naituanzi closely with a cold face, and asked from time to time: "Nine cents for a bag of melon seeds, who wants it?"

People around them suddenly felt curious.

"Hey, where are you two from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Don't even mention seeing them. I don't think I've ever seen two children this good-looking in my previous life."

"Wow, wow, wow, I just like good-looking people. Little sister, give me a bag of melon seeds."

Luo Ranran giggled, "Okay, sister, your melon seeds, pay for them and I'll give them to you."

The girl who wanted to buy melon seeds quickly took out a piece of silver from her purse and generously stuffed it into Luo Ranran's pocket, "Here, sister, I'm not short of money."
