After Mu Qingli and the others came back, they went to the river with serious faces. The tribesmen were still offering sacrifices to the Dragon God. It seemed that there was some important ceremony today.
Mu Qingli saw Chi Zishu, who was dressed the most gorgeously in the crowd and surrounded by other girls.
Not far away, we saw Long Xu and others who had slept enough and came out to watch the fun.
When Long Xu saw Mu Qingli, he ran over happily, followed by Yang Xinyi. Yang Lingxiao saw that they all came over, and even though she didn't want to come, she followed with a pout.
She just didn't like seeing Mu Qingli being the center of attention, even more eye-catching than Chi Zishu.
Chi Zishu is prominent in Chiyun Village because of her good family background. What about you? Why do you make everyone look at you with admiration and why do we all revolve around you?
"Sister Li! Are you back from the mountains?" Long Xu asked with a smile.
When I saw the bamboo shoots and mushrooms in Mu Qingli's hands, I knew that they had gone to the mountains again.
The mountains in their Yun Province have a fatal attraction for people from the north.
Mu Qingli nodded with a stern face: "Yes! They went to the mountains! Longxu, have you seen Chi Zishu's father?"
Mu Qingli looked at Long Xu very seriously and asked, which confused Long Xu, "What happened?"
"Are you talking about Uncle Chi? I saw him over there just now!" Long Xu said, then turned his head and pointed in that direction.
But, I was pointing at something lonely, where was Chi Wanjun?
"By the way, Sister Li! Did you know? It turns out that Chi Zishu is the saint of their village! This is the first time I have seen a saint in the village! There is no saint in our small village now!" Long Xu said excitedly.
"Oh! So that's it!" Mu Qingli nodded with some understanding and was not surprised.
After saying that, she continued to look for Chi Wanjun or Chi Wanshan in the crowd: "Long Xu, let's look for them separately. Please help me find Uncle Chi or Second Uncle Chi. I have something to ask them!" Mu Qingli said to Long Xu very seriously.
"Sister Li! I'll help you find it too!" Seeing that Mu Qingli seemed to really have something to ask them, Yang Xinyi also said to Mu Qingli.
"Yes! Okay!" Mu Qingli and the others scattered and looked for Chi Wanjun and Chi Wanshan among the crowd in the villages by the river.
Mu Qingli asked others from time to time, but when they gave directions, they either said it was east or west, and there was no accurate direction at all. In the end, Mu Qingli had to find it by herself.
Fortunately, Long Xu had been searching near the place where he had just seen Chi Wanjun, and he actually found him.
Those people were on a riverbank, throwing something into the river.
"Uncle Chi!" Long Xu shouted when he saw Chi Wanjun.
Chi Wanjun, who was directing his tribesmen to perform a sacrifice, frowned when he saw Longxu. How could this child be so ignorant?
Despite this, he stopped what he was doing and walked over: "Is there anything wrong?"
"It's Sister Li looking for you! They just came back from the mountains. It seems like something urgent has happened, and they are looking for you everywhere!" Long Xu also saw Chi Wanjun's unhappiness, but he could only say it with a stiff upper lip.
He knew that Mu Qingli was a sensible person. If there was nothing urgent, she would not look for Chi Wanjun at this time.
"Oh? Is there something urgent? Could it be that you encountered danger in the mountains?" Chi Wanjun also became a little concerned and asked seriously.
"Wanshan, you and Long San command the sacrifice, I'll go see what happened!" Chi Wanjun said with a serious face, and followed Long Xu.
Long Xu brought Chi Wanjun back and was thinking about where to find Mu Qingli when he saw Fu Hongzhou.
Fu Hongzhou was looking for Chi Wanjun and others in the crowd and was seen by Chi Zishu. Chi Zishu walked out from the group of girls and asked Fu Hongzhou what he was looking for.
As soon as Fu Hongzhou said he was looking for Chi Wanjun, Chi Zishu personally brought Fu Hongzhou to look for him.
"Xiao Fu, did something happen?" Chi Wanjun was obviously relieved when he saw Fu Hongzhou here.
That girl was also looking for me, and her boyfriend was there too. It seemed like they were not in any danger. That was good!
"Uncle Chi! Can I have a word with you?" Fu Hongzhou said to Chi Wanjun with a serious face.
Seeing Fu Hongzhou like this, Chi Wanjun's expression also became serious. Could it be that something really happened?
Fu Hongzhou took Chi Wanjun out of the crowd and stood in a quiet place. Mu Qingli, who was in the crowd, also saw them walking out and followed them.
"This is what happened, Uncle Chi. We found a young man who died of poisoning in the mountains over there! We came here to inform you! We had to call you out for fear of causing unnecessary panic!" Fu Hongzhou said with a serious face.
"What! A young man died of poisoning?" Chi Wanjun took a breath of cold air when he heard it. Such an unexpected situation had not occurred in the tribe for many years!
"This is just our preliminary assessment. Because the young man looked unwell, we thought he was poisoned. We took a look from a distance and ran back to report it!" Mu Qingli walked over and said seriously.
"Then I will take people to check it out right away. I'll have to trouble you two to lead the way!" Chi Wanjun said with a serious expression.
"Okay! We were afraid we wouldn't find the way, so we made some marks when we came back!" Mu Qingli nodded.
Just lead the way, as long as you don’t think they are the murderer!
Chi Wanjun returned to his original place and saw that the sacrifice was almost over. He waited until it was over before calling for his master and walked out of the crowd to find Mu Qingli and the others.
Seeing Chi Wanjun and the others coming out, Chi Zishu hurriedly followed: "Dad! What happened?"
"Don't worry about it! Wait here!" Chi Wanjun said lightly, then waved his hand and led his men towards Mu Qingli and the others.
"My friends, I have to follow you if anything happens!" Chi Zishu said, and then followed.
The Chi family, the Long family, and another family, only the three most prestigious families followed.
As a member of the Long family, Long Pinqing naturally followed along. Long Pinru and the other girls were originally competing in singing with the boys in the village. When she saw the large group of people coming here, she left her sisters and ran over to join in the fun.
Mu Qingli and the others were no exception and followed, making the team even stronger.
"What are you all following me for?" Mu Qingli asked with a frown when he saw Long Xu and the others.
"Let's take a look at what happened!" Long Xu said seriously.
"Curiosity kills the cat!" Mu Qingli glanced at him, muttered, and ignored him.
If you want to follow, just follow! Just don't be afraid!
"Zishu! Why are you following me? Didn't I tell you to wait?" Chi Wanjun said with a cold face when he saw Chi Zishu and Yang Xinyi.
"Dad! Just let me follow you!" Chi Zishu said with a pout.
"Uncle Jun, I promise not to make trouble!" Long Pinru also promised.
Long Pinqing's father glanced at his daughter and said, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Dad!" Long Pinru shrank her neck, quietly slowed down her pace, and fell behind.
In the end, the curious girls were not driven back, and the group walked towards the forest behind in a mighty procession.
