Chapter 512, Sacrifice 01
"It's ringing, so noisy. Why are we back? Let's go and watch them fight. In the end, the man will kneel down and beg his wife for forgiveness." Hua wanted to get up. She hadn't seen the end yet.
He Shiyu's eyebrows jumped, "How many times have you seen it?" He felt a little blocked and annoyed.
"Ah, not many times, but the man always beat her with a stick. She was so small, I don't know if it hurt." Well, a drunk woman can say anything.
Mei Xue was on speakerphone, so she and He Anze heard the entire conversation.
But I didn’t think much about it.
He Shiyu didn't want to pay attention to her. He glanced at his cell phone and saw that it was a call from his mother.
He turned around and walked into the kitchen with his phone.
Don't forget to close the door.
"Happy New Year, Mom." He Shiyu said hurriedly into the phone.
"Happy New Year to you too. Are you doing okay over there? Are you used to the food? Do you have enough money? Is the weather cold?" Mei Xue was just like any other mother. She was very concerned about her son who was away from home.
"Mom, I'm fine. How are you? Are you all right? Is my wife in good health? Are Xiaopeng and the others obedient? By the way, Xiaopeng is engaged. How is it going? Does your mother like the little girl?"
The mother and son have been separated for half a year, but they are not strangers to each other at all, but closer.
"Okay, everything is fine. The girl is also very good, very cute and sensible. Don't worry."
···
The mother and son chatted for a while. At this time, a discordant voice came, "He Shiyu, I'm going to take a shower." Hua felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a shower, but when she opened her eyes, she didn't see He Shiyu.
So I was looking for him everywhere, and as soon as I opened the kitchen door, I saw him answering the phone. Without thinking, I shouted at him.
After shouting, he ran away.
Only He Shiyu was left there in a mess.
"Xiao Yu, who is that girl? Is she your girlfriend?" Mei Xue asked curiously.
He Shiyu would never hide anything from his family.
"Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. She's Uncle Hua's daughter. Hua, I only found out she was also in our school the day I sent you back."
Xiaoyu told his parents about their encounter.
Mei Xue and He Anze looked at each other and laughed.
It seems that my sons have started planning their marriages quite early. Haha, that’s great. Each of them has found a wife. It seems that it’s just a matter of time before they get married.
"Then you have to take good care of her. A girl can get hurt easily outside." Mei Xue might have been influenced by Grandma He, and her lover was dating her own son.
"Yeah, I know, mom."
The phone call lasted about half an hour.
After hanging up, He Shiyu found himself sweating all over.
I don't know what he is so nervous about.
Fortunately, his parents didn't say anything, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.
Looking at the hung up phone, Xiaoyu smiled, "Since you came in on your own, then I can't let you leave."
He knew very well what he was thinking, he cared about her.
Mei Xue and He Anze didn't know what Xiaoyu was thinking, but they were still very happy that their son could find someone to take over on his own.
"Xiaoxue, stop laughing. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are marrying off your daughter. You are so impatient." He Anze was really depressed by her.
"You don't understand how tiring it is to raise a son. Now that they have found someone to take over, of course we as parents should let go as soon as possible." She was a cold-hearted person. If it wasn't her son, she wouldn't care.
"You, don't let them know what you are thinking." He mourned for his sons. It was unimaginable that he was disliked by his own mother.
"Humph." How could Mei Xue not understand what he meant? "Now the three of them have found someone to spend the future with. I plan to take grandma around the world after Xiaopeng and the others finish their college entrance examinations."
This world is so beautiful, she must take her grandma around to see it.
"Are you planning to abandon me too?" He Anze saw the disgust for him in her eyes.
"I'm just worried that you won't be able to bear to part with your sons."
After playing in the town for a while, the two flew into the mountains.
Life in the Miao village is simple, and the New Year atmosphere is better than outside. After the Spring Festival, it is the first month of the lunar year. The Miao village has its own customs in the first month of the lunar year. Mei Xue and He Anze had a great time in the village.
However, when I heard them say they were going to worship the gods, I was still a little confused.
"Village chief, what god are we worshipping?" They had been here for so long, but hadn't seen anyone placing offerings for their ancestors.
It must be said that they overlooked something.
When the village chief heard their questions, he tightened the teacup in his hand, but he did not hide the fact that they were now considered half Miao family.
"It is a rule that has been passed down by our ancestors, but no one has ever seen the true face of that god, nor is it the various immortals and Buddhas that have been passed down in the world."
The village chief told them what he knew.
Of course, there are some things he chose not to say because they are secrets.
"If you are interested, you can come with us to take a look, but don't run around when you get there." The village chief stopped having said this.
He said helplessly: "Of course, with your level of cultivation, it's okay to run away." The divine creature over there will not hurt people, but it will warn anyone who breaks into its territory.
The Miao people do not build ancestral halls, and they mainly worship mountain gods.
Each Miao tribe has its own god, and each worships a different one.
The two looked at each other and immediately thought of the valley that Xiaopeng mentioned. They had been here for so long but had never been there.
"But what about the valley that Xiaopeng accidentally broke into last time?" Mei Xue was straightforward and asked whatever she thought of.
The village chief nodded and said, "That's right, but Xiaopeng is lucky that he didn't go to the east, otherwise he would not be able to get out of the Worm Valley."
The village chief introduced the Insect Valley to them. There were no scary beasts in the Valley, just some snakes, insects, rats and ants. However, it was these things that made the large beasts afraid to approach.
You can imagine how terrible they are.
As the old saying goes, a swarm of ants can kill an elephant. Sometimes being big is not necessarily a good thing.
The Worm Valley is divided into four directions: east, west, south and north.
Each of these four directions has its own lord.
The most special one is the east, where there is no grass and the land is hard, which cannot be broken even by swords.
But right there lives the god who has protected them from generation to generation.
No one knows what the god looks like, but everyone worships him once a year on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
When worshiping, no live animals are used, but the most precious herbs of every household are used, even if they are grown by themselves, as long as they are precious.
This is why even though everyone in their village knows how to practice medicine, the medicinal herbs they use at home are still mainly ordinary ones.
There is a bottomless cliff over there, and they just have to throw the herbs down every time.
