Three days later.
The weather has cleared up, and the temperature has risen significantly.
In Quedongzhai and Heiwuzhai, the snow on the ground has almost melted.
But the air was much colder than it had been two days ago.
It's refreshingly cool.
It really proves an old saying in eastern Guizhou: melting snow is colder than falling snow.
Early in the morning, the eight Miao wolves escorted Mu Achen and the Holy Maiden out of the orchard entrance on the mountaintop and headed towards the Que Dong Village ancestral hall.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall.
After receiving the Holy Maiden's order, the chief chiefs and elders of the twelve branches have been conducting investigations overnight and have brought the senior Miao children from each branch to the village.
Of course, the purple seedlings are excluded from the twelve branches.
At this moment, 137 Miao men and women from different branches are waiting here, organized by their respective branches.
Among them, Long A-Ning and Tang A-Ran, whom Mu A-Chen knew, were at the very front of their branch.
Arui was naturally among them; her position was in the Black Miao branch team.
The Miao men and women were unaware of what was happening when the Holy Maiden and the future Miao King summoned them, nor did they need to know.
However, the smartest ones, after gathering together and chatting, discovered that they were all high school seniors from Miao territory this year.
In that instant, they seemed to understand something.
Beside the procession, the girls and the Miao men's fathers and mothers, or their direct Miao relatives, were also present.
The rest of the Miao people are from nearby villages.
Because no one knows what orders the Miao King and the Holy Maiden will give today at the Quedongzhai Ancestral Hall.
soon--
Mu Achen and the Holy Maiden have arrived.
In the small square with its bluestone floor, all the Miao people gave gifts.
Hong Miao Tang Aran looked at Mu Achen walking side by side with his elder sister. No matter how displeased he was, he dared not show the slightest disrespect at this moment.
That night, when he returned home, he was not only beaten by his father and uncle, but his mother and aunt also hit him with thorny branches.
As for his grandfather, he was so angry that he almost kicked him out of Quedong Village.
Tang Aran felt wronged.
But his grandfather, father, and uncle were right. If his brother-in-law was just an ordinary Miao man, it didn't matter whether they made a fuss or not.
The key point is that her brother-in-law, Mu Achen, is the future Miao King of their Miao family!
Can't Tang Aran see what Mu Achen has sacrificed for his sister?
Even if we were to argue, we shouldn't let personal grudges get in the way.
Tang Aran said he had no personal grudges.
Unfortunately, not a single person in his family listened to his explanation.
At this moment, seeing his brother-in-law and sister arrive, Tang Aran's expression was somewhat complicated.
However, he didn't think much of it, because today's gathering was not a private matter.
Several clan elders were already waiting at the door. As soon as Mu Achen arrived, they handed him a booklet.
Ah Chen quickly flipped through the pages and then handed them to Ah Mo beside him.
After reading it, Amo handed it over to Siwei, instructing them to follow the instructions given last night. Of the 137 people, only the leaders of each branch, Amei and Miaolang, should stay behind; the rest should go to the mountaintop first.
Because the stilted houses in the orchard on the mountaintop used for resting are all empty, they can be moved into after a little tidying up.
The guards accepted the order.
Ah Chen and Ah Mo entered the ancestral hall and sat down in the larger room on the side.
Afterwards, they listened to reports from the chiefs and elders of each branch of the village on the current situation in the deep mountains.
During this time, Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao from Shengtang were also compiling the data they had.
As for Tang Yue'e, the principal of a Miao family school, who was attending a meeting of this level in the Miao region of eastern Guizhou for the first time, and Yang Aze from the Qingmiao branch, they sat in the far right row.
Tang Yue'e was summoned by the Holy Maiden because today's events will involve the school.
Yang Aze volunteered for the mission, which Mu Achen granted.
Otherwise, given Yang Aze's rank, he wouldn't be able to attend a meeting like the Miao family's. Even if he were a student from a prestigious university, he wouldn't be qualified in Miao territory.
As for the youngest student who stayed behind alone, he stood obediently on the far side and listened.
The group of over twenty people, including Arui, Tang Aran, and Long Aning, didn't dare to breathe or make a sound.
After all, today, in addition to the chief chiefs of the various branches and the highly respected elders, even the nine clan elders are all here.
The center position is empty!
Because that was the throne of the Miao King.
Mu Achen cannot sit down until he has removed the word "future".
At this moment, Ah Chen and the Holy Maiden Ah Mo were sitting on either side of that empty chair.
The nine clan elders formed the first row, with eight jackals guarding behind Mu Achen, while the guards stood behind the Holy Maiden Amo.
The chief chiefs and elders of each branch are in the second row.
As for Sheng Tang's Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao, they were right opposite Mu Achen and the Holy Maiden.
One hour later--
After all the branches reported on all the losses in the deep mountains, Sheng Tang finally handed over the complete list.
"Ah Chen, all the expenses for the supplies have been settled! The total is a little over 7.08 million."
Yang Ayao gave Mu Achen a complete list of all the expenses.
Mu Achen flipped through the pages.
Although the core village elders of each branch knew that the situation in the deep mountains would cost Sheng Tang a lot of money, they did not expect it to be so much.
The elders also looked at the data that Mu Achen had placed aside.
The village elders of the branch were increasingly alarmed as they looked at it.
"Ah Chen, you've given us so many supplies!"
“Yes, Ah Chen, some money can be saved, there’s no need to waste it like this.”
"Yes, these things were all transported from the provincial capital; they're too expensive!"
The village elders were heartbroken.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "The most important thing is that everyone is safe!"
