After listening to what A Lan said, Miao Keke suddenly had a sneer on his face, "I trusted someone as much as you did at the beginning, so what's the difference in the result?"
Miao Keke's voice was not loud. She didn't care whether A Lan heard her, but she was absent-minded for a moment, and her eyes seemed to go back to long-distant memories.
While he was talking, a voice came from behind him. He was speaking Miao. I don’t know what he was talking about. But judging from his tone, the speaker didn’t seem to be happy.
A Lan turned around and bumped into the person who was speaking. Her expression suddenly changed and she took two steps back.
When the other party saw A Lan, he also frowned and narrowed his eyes.
This is a tall middle-aged man, probably close to sixty years old. Like other Miao men, he wraps his head with his hands, but judging from the exposed temples, the gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of his brow and eyes have already given away his appearance.
He is very young. However, this person walks as fast as flying, has great momentum, and has quite the temperament of a leader.
When the mute girl on one side saw it, she already guessed the identity of the other person.
This person is the patriarch of this Miao village.
The patriarch first glanced at Allan, and then scolded him in a low voice.
Ah Lan just lowered his head and did not dare to respond. It was obvious that the patriarch had a bad temper.
Afterwards, the patriarch saw the mute girl again, and his eyes stopped again.
Unlike Alan, the patriarch seemed to be a little curious about the mute girl. He looked up and down for a long time, and there seemed to be some doubts in his brows.
The mute girl was a little frightened by the patriarch, so she moved and hid behind Miao Keke.
Miao Keke said something to the group leader, and then the group leader began to say to the mute woman in fluent Chinese: "The Miao people do not welcome Han people, but they will not kill people indiscriminately. If you are a Han woman, you will always be old."
Be honest and leave as soon as you figure out your affairs. We Miao people will not embarrass you."
After hearing this, the mute woman opened her mouth and muttered, not knowing what to express.
The patriarch ignored it, turned to Miao Keke and asked: "Is that Han man inside?"
Miao Keke nodded.
The patriarch walked to the door and knocked on the door: "Dear witch, I am the patriarch."
"come in."
The voice of a great witch came from inside.
The patriarch opened the door and entered, then quickly closed the door again.
After the patriarch entered the house, he first saw Xia Shang in the house, and the two looked at each other.
The patriarch was the first to look away and stood in the room and bowed to the great witch.
The great witch waved his hand: "Clan leader, I wonder if Miao Keke has ever talked to you about this person?"
"I've heard of it, but Miao Keke can't explain it clearly. Is it true that someone is infected by the Jie Gu?"
As he said that, the patriarch also looked worried and looked back at Xia Shang.
"It's hard to say now. We can't be sure without seeing the person who was poisoned."
"Great witch, this matter is not trivial. If this person's friends are really suspicious, then we should expel them quickly to prevent the Jie Gu from spreading in the clan."
The big wizard pen straightened his waist and looked a little righteous: "As a Gu Master, in addition to protecting the Miao people, you should also have the heart to save lives and heal others. No matter what happens, he must first find his friends."
"But... we still don't know his identity and whether he is with that group of people..."
"That group of people?" Xia Shang was a little confused,
As smart as Xia Shang, the patriarch's words reminded him of many things.
Having been attacked by the Miao before, Miao Caihe, who is also a Miao, was not prepared for this, which shows that this is an unusual thing.
It must be something serious that would make the Miao people behave like this.
Now, the patriarch has mentioned that group of people, which is obviously related to the extraordinary measures taken by the Miao people.
No matter what difficulties the Miao people face, Xia and Shang do not want the Miao people to transfer their hatred and rejection to themselves.
"Have the Miao people come into contact with other people recently?"
The patriarch's face darkened: "This has nothing to do with you."
"I don't mean to inquire about the Miao people. I just want to explain that I came to the Miao people with my friends just to find a way to eliminate the poison. I don't have any other purpose, and I won't have any involvement with other people."
"Foreigners are not worthy of trust!" the patriarch snorted coldly.
"The quality of a person has nothing to do with race. There are good people among the Han people. Of course, I dare not say that I am a good person, but at least I have integrity. If the Miao people are willing to save my friend, I will definitely be grateful. What are the conditions for calling the Miao people?
Just mention it, I will definitely do what I can do. If the chief of the clan can trust me, he can also be honest about the troubles the Miao people are facing now, and maybe I can give some help."
It was a matter of Xian'er's life and death, so Xia Shang had to show enough sincerity.
But Xia Shang's words didn't seem to attract the attention of the patriarch, but instead showed some disdain.
Just when the patriarch wanted to say something, the great witch interrupted first: "Now is not the time to discuss this. No matter what the situation is, first find your person who is poisoned. It's hard to say whether he can be saved."
The status of the great witch in the Miao people is sacred, and even the chief clan leader does not dare to question the decision of the great witch.
Although there was still a lot of dissatisfaction and reluctance on the patriarch's face, the great witch had already spoken, so he had no choice but to express his opinions angrily.
The great witch said to Xia Shang: "Okay, tell me about your friend's situation. If possible, you can send some people from the Miao people to look for him."
The performance of the great witch greatly surprised Xia Shang. Previously, he thought that the great witch was weird in every aspect and must be a person with a very weird personality. Unexpectedly, the great witch was so reasonable and did not embarrass Xia Shang in the slightest. This made Xia Shang's impression of this great witch
much better.
Then, Xia Shang told what happened when he came near the Miao people, detailing the ambush in the woods.
When recounting this incident, Xia Shang noticed that the expression of the patriarch was obviously strange. Even the great witch glanced at the patriarch from time to time, as if he had a deeper meaning.
When Xia Shang finished speaking, the patriarch cursed in a low voice: "You idiot, how dare you do those things behind my back!"
When Xia Shang heard this, he asked, "Is there something fishy about this matter?"
"Although we Miao people don't like outsiders, we will never be so cruel. This is my brother's private behavior!" The patriarch's expression was very serious, and he clenched his fists, "Little brother, please wait a moment, I will
Come here and apologize to you face to face."
After saying that, the patriarch opened the door furiously and disappeared in the blink of an eye, regardless of other people's reactions.
Xia Shang was a little confused and thought that even if there was a misunderstanding, the patriarch would not go out of his way to apologize according to his arrogant temperament, right?
In doubt, the great witch sent a message outside: "Miao Keke."
Miao Keke then entered the room: "Master, what are your instructions?"
"I already understand the matter of this young master, and now I will leave it to the clan leader. You can ask them to go elsewhere." (To be continued)
