Lin Wu slept until he woke up naturally.

When he opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment, Lin Wu woke up and sat up suddenly.

But she reacted quickly and immediately recalled what happened last night and where this place was. She stopped and sat on the edge of the bed, looking around.

It was still the same as last night, nothing more, nothing less - the key was that there were no extra changes of clothes as Mochuan mentioned last night.

"He doesn't look like someone who has a cell phone. There's no signal here. Can he really contact Gugui Village?"

Lin Wu scratched his messy hair, smoothed it out a few times, then got out of bed in submission and prepared to go out.

Mainly because I was hungry, of course.

Even if she didn't have any change of clothes, at least she had enough to eat. Otherwise, the word "embarrassed" wouldn't be enough to describe her.

Lin Wu walked to the door and was about to open it. Before he could see clearly outside, a faint and familiar male voice suddenly sounded.

"Come out after you've changed. Your clothes are at the door."

She lowered her head subconsciously.

There was a tray on the ground outside the threshold, and on it was a set of Miao clothing, which was quite in the style of the local ethnic group.

There is also a large kettle next to it, probably filled with hot water.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Lin Wu was indeed not feeling well, so he immediately decided to clean himself up.

She thanked him politely, bent over to pick up the kettle, grabbed her clothes, turned around and went back to the house.

I took a casual glance at Lin Wu, but he suddenly stopped and turned his head back inch by inch.

In the spacious courtyard outside, Mo Chuan was sitting at a stone table not far away.

He still wore the mask, but changed into a new cloth robe, and tied up half of his long hair, which was braided with silver thread and copper coins, and hung down softly at his side, adding a bit of refinement. There was a small stove and a set of tea sets on the table, and he was slowly brewing tea, with steam rising.

It was a very simple picture, but it made him look even more slender and straight as a pine tree.

But this is not the most important thing.

The key point is that in the open space in front of him, there were actually more than a dozen people kneeling on the ground in a row? ! !

The leader was an old man with gray hair, but he was vigorous and his slightly cloudy eyes were very shrewd. Judging from the strange robe he was wearing, he was definitely not an ordinary person, but rather a very majestic leader of one of the Thirty-Six Villages.

But at this moment, the other party not only lowered his posture and knelt down in front of Mochuan, but also looked at her in amazement with his mouth wide open when she came out.

Together with the dozen or so people kneeling behind him in the same strange costumes, they all stared at her with wide eyes as if they had seen a ghost, unable to believe that there was someone else here, and it was someone like her.

When the two looked at each other, even Lin Wu's brain was a little stuck.

"He...they..."

Mo Chuan seemed to have just noticed the dozen people. He glanced at them, said "oh" faintly, and introduced them to Lin Wu: "The leader and elders of Gugui Village."

Lin Wu: “……???”

Really?!

"Then why would they..." And kneel to you? ? Mo Chuan didn't seem to understand Lin Wu's confusion. Seeing that the tea was ready, he poured himself a cup and explained casually, "I asked them to bring you clothes, but they seemed to have something to tell me. But I was too lazy to listen, so I told them to wait until you wake up."

"…When did they arrive?"

"Six o'clock."

Mochuan thought about it.

Lin Wu looked down at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock!

“They have been kneeling until now??”

"Um."

“No…why are they kneeling here waiting?”

Gugui Village is the leader of the thirty-six villages, and its leader and elders are kneeling here until now just because of Mochuan's words???

Lin Wu felt that there might be something wrong with his eyes.

As a result, Mo Chuan looked up at her, but misunderstood her meaning: "Don't you like them kneeling here? It's an eyesore?"

The leader of Guihe Village and his men looked even more stunned.

What Lin Wu didn't expect was that they actually listened to Mo Chuan very much.

The leader of the village said timidly that they would wait outside, and then stood up tremblingly. The people behind him had been kneeling for a long time and their legs were numb. They supported each other and prepared to move their positions silently, but they couldn't help but secretly look at Lin Wu with a very shocked and strange look.

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that they really wanted to move outside to kneel, she immediately said, "Wait, that's not what I meant!"

The village chief and others stopped, turned around to look at Lin Wu, and then stared at Mochuan blankly.

Lin Wu said: "...Well, I just happen to have something to ask someone from the Thirty-Six Villages, so please wait for a moment."

The leader of Guihe Village looked at Lin Wu and did not respond. Instead, he looked at Mochuan and asked cautiously, "Lord Mochuan?"

Mo Chuan glanced at Lin Wu and said calmly, "Stay."

The way the village chief and others looked at Lin Wu suddenly changed.

Lin Wu closed the door and took his things back to wash up.

The village chief and others all had subtle expressions of shock on their faces, and they looked at each other, with different thoughts in their minds.

"Master Mochuan," the village chief couldn't help but ask, "Who is that little girl..."

In the early morning, he suddenly received a message from this person. He thought he was dreaming. The other party suddenly appeared? ? It’s okay that he suddenly showed up, but the first thing he said when he contacted him was that he was going to take away the woman’s clothes? ?

The village chief even thought that he was still asleep! He even doubted whether the person who sent him the message for more than ten minutes was really the person he remembered?!

"I just accepted him as my apprentice." Mochuan said.

The village chief and others all looked towards the door where Lin Wu was: "?!!"

A courageous middle-aged man was surprised and asked directly: "But why is your apprentice resting in your room, and... and in dishevel..."

"If your eyes don't want it, you can just say so."

Mochuan glanced at the man.

The tone was still calm, but it made everyone present feel cold and as if they were falling into an abyss.

Everyone's face changed slightly, and they all knelt down in unison.

"Please calm down, sir. He has no other intentions!" the village chief said hurriedly.

Mochuan did not say anything else. He just tasted the tea he had just brewed and ignored the village chief and others.

The village chief and others did not dare to say anything and lowered their heads respectfully. The scene was silent and quiet for a while.

So when Lin Wu came out after getting dressed and saw this scene, she was really stunned. Why did they kneel again? Do the people in Gugui Village like to kneel so much? ? I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Lin Wu felt that those people didn’t even dare to look at her this time, and they were a little bit avoiding her.

She walked over puzzledly and sat down opposite Mochuan.

"Well, what I want to ask is..."

"Eat first."

Mo Chuan interrupted Lin Wu and said, "You are an ordinary person and you need to eat to stay alive. If you have anything to say, eat first."

As luck would have it, Lin Wu's stomach growled a few times at this moment.

Lin Wu was indeed hungry, but looking at the people from Gugui Village who were silent as a cicada, she hesitated, "But they..."

Before Mochuan could open his mouth, the leader of Gugui Village had already spoken.

"We are not in a hurry. We can wait. It doesn't matter how long we wait!"

"But you're kneeling here...why don't you just get up? Sit and wait?"

"No, no, no, it's healthier for us to kneel down!"

The leader of Gugui Village blurted out.

Lin Wu: “…”

Why don't you listen to what you are saying?
