Mu Chen quickly walked to the roadside.
The clan elder said, "Didn't you want to install a transformer on the mountain a few days ago? The power supply workers have already arrived and are laying the wires down below. The people from Quedong Village are also helping. Take a look at where you want to install the transformer."
“Grandpa, this kind of thing should be left to professionals. Our opinions don’t count.”
"Does that mean even Ah Chen's word doesn't count?"
"My goodness, I'm not omnipotent."
Ah Chen's joke made all the Miao people on the mountain laugh.
The clan elder blushed deeply at Mu Chen's humor. The old Miao man stepped forward and gave Mu Chen a whack on the head with his pipe, cursing, "You little brat, how dare you joke with your clan elder like that? It seems you really can't manage the household without a wife to take care of things."
“Ah Chen, let me tell you, no matter which girl you like, the entire Black Crow Village will set out to help you win her back.”
Among the Miao people on the mountain, the young men of Heiwu Village shouted loudly, while the people of Quedong Village all looked towards Chief Tang, who was resting on the embankment.
Mu Chen chuckled to himself.
He clearly hadn't expected his patriarch to turn the tables on him in front of everyone.
Grandma's dog, Gou Dan, asked sneakily, "Brother Chen, just give me a straight answer. What are you really thinking? Do you truly like the Holy Maiden? If so, what are you worried about?"
Mu Chen turned his head and saw that the old woman was actually next to Gou Dan, and immediately understood.
That must have been taught to me by my grandmother.
At this moment, hundreds of Miao brothers and sisters on the mountain held their breath and stared at Mu Achen.
Although Chief Tang was engrossed in fiddling with his pipe, his ears were practically perked up.
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
All Miao people want to know.
Mu Chen really wanted to give Gou Dan a piece of mud cake.
The once refreshing atmosphere in the verdant mountains suddenly changed.
However---
Just as Mu Chen was quickly thinking of how to answer, his phone rang.
Oh my goodness, this call came just in time.
But this phone call infuriated both chieftains. When they heard Mu Chen tell the person on the other end of the line to drive in directly, Chieftain Tang immediately roared:
"You're not allowed in. Not even the Heavenly King himself is allowed in."
This anger didn't come out of nowhere; it had been building up for several months.
Mu Chen hung up the phone and said with a wry smile, "Grandpa Tang, I bought some things, and they're willing to deliver them to my door for free. If you don't let me go, how can I carry them back by myself?"
"That's your own business! If you can't carry it back, why don't you go to your future father-in-law's house?"
Normally, no one in the surrounding villages would dare to speak to Mu Chen like that.
If anyone dares to do so, Que Dongzhai and Hei Wuzhai will never let them off the hook.
But no one dared to say a word about what happened today.
Even the Miao people of Heiwu Village remained silent.
The clan patriarch said directly, "Achen, now you see, right? Hurry up and tell me the reason. You clearly like the Holy Maiden, why won't you admit it?"
"Old Mu, you Black Crow Village people are too much of a bully. My Que Dong Village is not to be trifled with either." Chief Tang was truly enraged this time.
The Holy Maiden is the holy maiden of the entire Miao people, and no one may desecrate her.
If all the criticisms over the past few months hadn't been related to Mu Achen, Que Dongzhai would probably have already come knocking on his door and beheaded him.
"Ah Chen, what are you really thinking? Tell me clearly today." The old woman came up to Mu Chen and asked kindly.
Mu Chen, holding the old woman's rough hand, glanced at everyone before taking a deep breath and saying to Chief Tang on the ridge:
“Grandpa Tang, I’m saving my words for the Holy Maiden, but since we’ve come this far, I’ll give you an explanation now.”
Mu Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest, making a gesture only the Miao people understood, and shouted:
"Today, I, Mu Achen of the Miao family, swear here that in this life, I will only marry the Holy Maiden Tang Mo and only take Tangtang as my wife."
"If Tangtang is unwilling, the Tang family will not allow it, the clan elders will not permit it, I—Mu Achen—will never marry."
"Those who disobey, may they be punished by Heaven."
"No regrets, no complaints."
The action Mu Chen took was the most vicious of all the oaths.
Quedong Village was relieved, but Heiwu Village was not happy.
The old woman was the first to object, "Old man Tang, are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied now?!"
“Brother Tang, if our Achen is gone, the entire Black Crow Village will not stand for it.” The clan elder sighed and said directly, “Anyway, since Achen has chosen the Holy Maiden, even if Black Crow Village has to do everything in its power, it will still try to take her away.”
Chief Tang stood up, his face stern, and said, "It won't be any good! When Amo comes back, your Black Crow Village can go and rob him yourselves, or you can wait until the Drum Festival. There's still more than a month left, so you can start preparing."
After saying that, Chief Tang dusted himself off and left.
As he turned around, the old man actually smiled.
The mountain was in an uproar.
Mu Chen slumped to the ground with his head down, completely unprepared for what was happening.
Ah Zhuang tiptoed up to Mu Chen and leaned down to ask, "Ah Chen, Chief Tang has already expressed his opinion, which is a good thing. Why do you look unhappy?"
"You don't know anything."
Mu Chen threw a punch with his backhand, making the unsuspecting A Zhuang see stars.
"Why did you hit me?" A-Zhuang jumped up.
Mu Chen shouted, "I will only marry a saintess, but not in this way. You have disrupted my script."
"What script? What does it mean?"
"Dog Egg, come here, come here."
Dog Egg, who was hiding to the side, shook his head repeatedly, "No, Brother Chen, you're too scary when you're angry. Ah... Help!"
