Chapter 93
Aruo is the white moonlight in Li Mo's heart.
Li Mo fell off a cliff and there was a river below. The river washed him into the village where Aruo lived. Aruo, who was washing clothes, saw him, rescued him, and brought him back to the village.
After Li Mo woke up, he fell in love with Aruo at first sight.
Aruo, who had never left the village and was in contact with outsiders for the first time, was also attracted by Li Mo's handsome appearance and decided to keep him.
Li Mo was attracted to Aruo and temporarily forgot his hatred. He wanted to stay and marry Aruo. From then on, he stayed here with Aruo. The two held a wedding. As a son-in-law, Li Mo learned the martial arts in the village and skills such as controlling pigs.
It can be said that Aruo is Li Mo's white moonlight and cinnabar mole, and also the tool person who gives him the golden finger.
"Okay, Xiaolin, let's write this according to what you wrote!"
Lin Nanzhi looked at Wen Jiunian subconsciously, but saw that Wen Jiunian was looking at her. She quickly retracted her gaze, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.
Really!
The entire storyline should have more than 30 episodes, and the village plot is about seven or eight episodes long, appearing in the middle part of the plot.
I found a house that looked relatively retro and didn't have any modern technology and borrowed it for the filming.
Apart from giving the script to Lin Nanzhi and the other two, the director only said a few words to the others. After three hours of preparation, filming began at the director's command.
When Li Mo woke up, he found that he was not dead yet. He was happy but also afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. However, after he went out, he was stunned for a moment when he looked at the scene around him, and then he continued to walk forward and found that there was no one in the village.
Suddenly, he heard music. Perhaps out of curiosity, he walked over and saw a high platform surrounded by many people. They were all sitting cross-legged on the ground with their hands raised and muttering something. On the platform, people wearing barbarian clothes and with colorful makeup on their faces were dancing.
It seems like some kind of ceremony is taking place.
He was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly hid behind a big tree. When he looked over there, he saw a young girl coming out of the crowd. She stepped on the hands of the people, circled around, and finally landed on the platform.
The woman was wearing a red dress, revealing a small part of her arm. There were a dozen thin silver bracelets on her arms, silver ornaments around her waist and neck, small braids on her hair with silver bells tied to them, and a ruby on her forehead. She danced to the sound of drums.
Although Li Mo had seen many dances, he was used to seeing those dances. The dance in front of him was mysterious and colorful, making people indulge in it.
He was fascinated without realizing it. When the girl turned her head, he looked at her face. She was not wearing any makeup, but she was still so beautiful that she could captivate the whole country. Her eyes were very clear, yet revealed a hint of solemnity. His heart suddenly started beating wildly without control.
Until the dance ended, the people below knelt down and bowed to the girl on the stage, shouting, "May the saint live forever and protect Qiu Luo."
Li Mo came back to his senses because of the shouting. Knowing that the ceremony was over, he hurried back to the room. However, before he could lie down, the door was pushed open and the girl he had just seen walked in.
Their eyes met, and the girl smiled slightly: "Feeling better?"
Her voice was sweet and her smile was innocent, but for some reason, Li Mo felt a chill on his back, as if there were thorns in his back.
I didn't know what the girl meant, so I just kept silent.
The girl didn't care about his attitude. She walked over and sat down beside the bed, put the medicine in her hand on the table, and motioned Li Mo to drink it. Li Mo looked into her eyes, without any previous caution, and drank the medicine in one gulp.
"Are you from outside?"
Li Mo still chose to remain silent.
"My name is Aruo, what's your name?"
Li Mo looked up at Aruo, then quickly lowered his head, his ears reddened, and he stammered, "I...Shen...My name is Shen...Shen Mo."
"Silence?"
"Shen Mo, what a nice name." Aruo just smiled, got up and left, leaving Li Mo looking at the door and thinking about what she meant.
Aruo had no intention of imprisoning him, so two days later, Li Mo went out. He found that the whole village was unusual. Everyone seemed to be an ordinary person, doing farm work every day, but everyone walked lightly, and no matter the old or the young, they all knew martial arts.
This made him even more curious about the village, so he postponed his plan to leave, and this delay meant he couldn't leave anymore.
Because he was walking aimlessly, he accidentally saw Aruo taking a bath and was caught by Aruo's friend Ah Man, who tied him up and prepared to burn him alive.
Aruo rushed to rescue him after learning about it.
This time, Aruo was wearing a silver crown, which made her look even more beautiful.
"Patriarch, elders, this man cannot die."
"Saint, this man is a foreigner and he had the audacity to peek at you taking a bath. He should be burned alive, otherwise it will offend the gods." One person started, and some men who admired Aruo followed suit, including the women.
Someone suddenly threw a torch towards the fire. Aruo's figure flashed and he kicked the torch away with his leg.
Ah Yu, who had always been at odds with Ah Ruo, stood up, looked at Ah Ruo, snorted coldly, and said, "Saintess, it was wrong for you to take in outsiders, and now you are doing this for an outsider. Are you going to be a traitor to Qiu Luo?"
"Shut up! I am talking to the clan leader and the elders. How can you have a say?"
Every few years, the village would elect a saint, clan leader, and elders. Everyone here was a martial arts master and had special abilities. The saint, in particular, was the most powerful person in the village. Many people were eyeing this position, but those who took it were not ordinary people.
Although Aruo is only a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, she is capable enough to become the new saint.
Just a look from her was enough to make Ah Yu shudder. Although she quickly calmed down, she still didn't dare to say anything. She just bit her lip and made another note to Aruo.
Aruo retracted his gaze upon seeing this and looked at the clan leader and the elders. They looked at each other and one of them, an old man holding a wooden scepter, stood up.
"Saint, this person is an outsider. We don't know his background and we are afraid that something bad may happen!"
The old woman spoke in the local Miao language. Although Lin Nanzhi did not understand, he remembered what the lines were supposed to say and even asked Grandma Zhang to teach him. Then he answered in Miao language: "Chief, he is a living being. How can you take his life so lightly?"
"But……"
"Chief, don't forget that you will no longer be the chief in two days, and I have been baptized by the witch. This Qiu Luo has to do whatever I say."
There is a threatening element in Aruo's words.
Once the Saint passes the test, the clan leader and the elders will also have to be replaced. The clan leader has always wanted his grandson to inherit the position of the new clan leader, and the Saint has a decisive vote.
These words left the clan leader speechless. He could only take two steps back and shake his head helplessly. Others had the same idea, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything.
