Chapter 817: The Serpent Spirit Saint
Li Mu still caught up with the girl.
He wanted to go there, but he had no choice but to noon, he was hungry. There was no food in the deep mountains and forests, and he had never learned to survive in the wild. What should he do? He could only catch up with the girl with shameless face and ask for some food.
I'm a little embarrassed, but who makes us thick-skinned?
Li Mu thought to himself as comforted, eating the dry food handed over by the girl.
It was dry food, not jerky. Although there was still a lot of jerky left, the girl didn't mean to give him any more. She just gave Li Mu a little bit of the dry food she prepared. Li Mu didn't have the nerve to eat jerky. After all, they were the life-saving benefactors, and through yesterday's communication, they also clearly stated that those jerky were rewards for rescue. How could they have the nerve to come back after the things given?
What's more, the girl's own dry food is quite delicious. I don't know what it is made of, but it has a taste of "vegetarian meat" that I had eaten in my previous life. I gave Li Mu a total of three pieces, and he was not full. The girl saw it and gave him another piece after hesitation. Li Mu was not polite to eat it. When she wanted it, the girl refused to give it to her.
"What's your name? Where are you going?"
"Is it to do business or go home? Visit relatives, right? Whose house should I go to?"
"Don't worry, you helped me, I will definitely repay you. I, Li Mu, did what I said, by the way, have you heard of the name Li Mu? In the Luoyang area of Chang'an, there is a well-known figure. Who can't give me some face?"
"Do you know how to get to the nearest yamen?"
"Do you have a yamen here?"
Li Mu was like a chatterbox, talking nonstop around the girl. The girl was also a cruel person. She really treated Li Mu as air and turned a deaf ear to his words. She ate a piece of jerky meat herself. After eating her fullness, she set off again.
Li Mu's wishful thinking failed. He originally wanted to hold the girl and leave it here. In this way, when Dugu Jiu and the others found it, they would not have been searching for it for too long. He had already left a mark along the way. He pulled his shirt into a strip of cloth, leaving a mark every distance. There were people under Dugu Jiu who were good at tracking, and as long as they found a mark, they could find it along.
But now that the girl has left, Li Mu dared not to follow, and the mark has to continue to be kept, but the cloth strip is getting narrower and narrower. Who knows where this girl is going? If she goes far and her shirt is not enough, would she have to pull out all the other clothes?
Li Mu also thought about it, and everyone parted ways. But after thinking about it, it still couldn't work. Because Li Mu suddenly realized that he might be a waste, at least in the deep mountains and forests.
No one knows who he is here, let alone know, no one has seen the second one. He has money, no place to spend, and can't buy anything. He doesn't understand the technology of survival in the wild. In this deep mountains and forests where poisonous insects and beasts are everywhere, everyone dies.
But it’s different with the girl. When Li Mu saw her, he knew that this sister was extraordinary. Who could cross the river by making a canoe?
Moreover, he just saw with his own eyes a poisonous snake that didn't know how to write the word "death" and tried to attack from behind, but she waved her hand and cut it into two parts.
The system is not available now, and even the Daoqiu stone cannot sense the location. Li Mu is in the woods, unable to distinguish between the south, south, west and north, and the possibility of survival is too low.
It’s better to follow this elder sister and give up her face. It’s important to survive.
...
It is actually a bit inappropriate to say that he is an elder sister. This girl looks only about Wei Yingluo’s age, at most sixteen or seventeen, and she will definitely not be older than herself. To be precise, she should be called her sister. But she saved her name and called her sister seemed too frivolous. Li Mu still called her elder sister, and she was short-speaking and dessert when she was trying to make a living.
Although she has not said a word since she met. But Li Mu could feel that this girl is a very kind person. She could have left and let the river drown herself. No one would know or cause trouble for her, but she did not, and she saved herself at the last moment, which is enough to show that she is a kind-hearted person.
Moreover, Li Mu also discovered that she seemed to be moving faster in the woods than on the flat ground. If she really wanted to get rid of it, she would not be able to keep up. But if she didn't do this, it further meant that her heart was better.
What a good person! Such a good person must be rewarded!
"See you are not young anymore, are you getting married?"
The girl glared at him fiercely.
Li Mu just pretended that he couldn't see it and continued, "If you haven't gotten married, how about I introduce you to me? I have a brother named Dugu Jiu. He is a rich second generation... What does the rich second generation mean? Oh, why do you say it? His family is very rich." After pausing, Li Mu added, "It's not enough to be rich, but there are many people in his family. Many of his uncles and brothers are generals, rich, and people, and power. Are they powerful?"
"He is the only heir?" Li Mu said happier: "He is very handsome, how handsome? Let me tell you this. He must wear a mask when he goes out. If he doesn't wear a mask, he will be mistaken for a woman, or that kind of beautiful beauty?"
The girl rolled her eyes.
"Do you think I'm boasting?" Li Mu snorted: "It's too little! Do you know how powerful his kung fu is? My brother is the best swordsman in the world. How fast is his sword..." Li Mu picked up a branch and gestured: "Brush swipe, you haven't seen him take action yet, the enemy is dead."
The girl turned her face to the side and continued to pick up dead branches. It was already evening, and it would be unsafe to continue traveling in the mountains at night, so while the sun had not set, she had to prepare enough firewood for the whole night.
The main purpose of the bonfire at night is not to lighting or keep warm, but to disperse wild animals. Especially poisonous snakes, snakes like cold and afraid of heat, and will not take the initiative to get close to the fire.
The closer to Lingshe Mountain, the stronger the venom of the snake. Even if the girl brought medicine to cure snake venom, she would not dare to neglect it.
The bonfire rose, illuminating the open space about two meters in square meters. Before Li Mu could speak, the girl gave him four pieces of dry food, then ignored him and took out a piece of jerky to eat.
"When I was at home, there were no seven or eight dishes." Li Mu muttered while eating: "There are meat, beef, mutton, chicken legs... I can eat it casually. Oh, if my wife knew that I was suffering like this now, she would feel so distressed..."
The self-pitying sentence attracted the girl's sideways. Li Mu saw her meaning from her eyes: "Why, I don't seem to have a wife? Hey! You really underestimate people. Let me tell you, I not only have a wife, I also have a son, I not only have a son, I also have a daughter, twins!"
The girl snorted, obviously not believing it.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. When my brother finds me, you will understand."
Li Mu murmured, but when he saw the girl ignore him, he felt bored, threw the remaining two pieces of dry food into his mouth, found a tree to lean on, and slightly prepared to "sleep".
"I promised that I can't throw me away anymore." Li Mu instructed and his consciousness entered the system. He had to continue working overtime tonight and finish the data as soon as possible. It was difficult to move without the system, and he also needed the system to help him locate the location of the Daobin Stone.
The girl looked at Li Mu who was "sleeping" and felt a little complicated.
She did think about leaving, but it was not because of Li Mu's instructions that she refused to leave, but because of her entanglement.
If Li Mu didn't catch up today, he might have passed. But Li Mu caught up and put her in conflict.
Yesterday, in order to save people, she used her mouth to relieve Li Mu's breathing, that is, artificial respiration.
After living so long, she had never had such close contact with men. When she ran away this morning, she thought that she was just to save people, but Li Mu didn't know about it, so she wouldn't mention this matter. Anyway, if we don't meet in the future, we will lose sight of it.
But unexpectedly, Li Mu chased after him and was chattering all day long. The girl felt a mess when she heard him muttering. She heard Li Mu say that she had a wife and a child, and her heart became more and more confused.
He actually has a wife.
In fact, Miao people are more open-minded than Han people in terms of marriage and funerals. Miao women can not only fall in love freely, but also have the right to choose husbands, but also have the right to divorce them. Even as long as both parties agree, a Miao woman can have two husbands, just like a man’s three wives and four concubines. In terms of equality between men and women, Miao people implement it more thoroughly.
But this is not the case. After the Miao family split into two major forces, "Bai Miao" and "Wu Miao", the rules also changed new.
Bai Miao is a conservative school and advocates that all customs follow the ancient etiquette. But Wu Miao is different. Wu Miao seeks change and introduces many Chinese etiquette laws. In Wu Miao village, men's rights are obviously greater than women. Although there are very few things in Bai Miao that women have two husbands, there is no one in Wu Miao. The girl belongs to Bai Miao. The love she longs for in her heart is loyal and only, and it is not to share the same husband with others.
What's more, this husband is still a Han Chinese.
In the social environment of the Miao family, the two major factions of Bai and Wu are both criticized for marrying each other. Marrying a Han Chinese is simply an unforgivable sin. Thinking of her father's attitude, the girl sighed softly and suppressed the absurd thoughts that had just risen.
What else do you think of when you are an impossible thing? I can’t even get through this hurdle in my heart, so why do you take him home to show me to my father?
Still don’t think about it anymore, it’s important to do it.
The so-called serious matter is actually nothing. The dispute between the two major factions of Bai and Wu, the small Miao village where she is located is still unable to speak, and she has no qualifications to speak. This time, in addition to protecting her Miao village from being removed from the list, she was going to send medicine to the saint.
The saint is about to have a child, which is a great event of the Snake Spirit Sect. After a woman gave birth, her vitality was severely damaged and needed nourishment. Her father was a famous Miao doctor from Bai Miao and had a nourishing prescription passed down. Three months ago, the Snake Spirit messenger came to ask for medicine. In order to refine medicine, his father prepared for more than two months, but he also injured his arm because of it. Finally, he refined the medicine.
The girl touched the porcelain bottle in her arms, and the thirty small pills here were lost, but they would be gone. If the saint had made mistakes because of this, her sin would be great.
Logically speaking, the Snake Spirit Sect believes in snake spirits, and the person they respect should be the leader. The leader was selected by the Snake Spirit, with different backgrounds, including Miao people and Han people, but as long as he is selected by the Snake Spirit, no one will question the spiritual leader of hundreds of thousands of Miao people.
However, this generation is different.
The snake spirit stayed in a person with poor constitution, and she could not be the leader. Although the leader was in a proper constitution, he was too weak to take on the responsibility of the leader. Finally, after the discussion of the elders, there was a temporary solution to the saint's temporary responsibility as the leader.
Therefore, the saint of this generation is the real leader of the sect, and the nominal leader is like a puppet. Moreover, the saint did a great job, doing countless good things for the Miao family, mediating countless disputes, greatly alleviating the conflict between the two forces of Bai and Wu. Although she is not the leader, her status in the hearts of the Miao people is obviously higher than that of the leader.
The saint has been giving silently and has never asked for any reward from the Miao people. All Miao villages are hoping to do something for the saint. Now that her father has got this opportunity, she has tried his best to get enough medicinal materials and refined this bottle of medicine. If she loses it, how can she afford it?
The girl is guarding against Li Mu, and this is also related. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so who knows if he robs the medicine?
That night, the girl was still alert to sleep.
...
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the girl gave Li Mu four dry food. She still only ate one piece of jerky meat. After eating, the two of them continued to set off.
"Can you tell me where you are going? I can't follow you blindly all the time. It's a problem for me to come here."
"I'm really anxious, I didn't joke with you."
It was still Li Mu who was talking, the girl was listening, without any response.
Li Mu was really anxious: "Okay! Let me tell you the truth, my other wife is about to give birth! I beg you to help me, I have to find her before she gives birth, otherwise something big will happen!"
The girl stopped and looked at Li Mu.
"Don't look at me like this!" Li Mu said with a guilty heart, "I am sincere to every lady of mine. You have also seen that I am so outstanding, it is normal for many people to like it."
"Scum!"
"Who is the scum!" Li Mu subconsciously retorted. After refuting, he realized what was going on. He pointed at the girl with wide eyes: "You, you can speak!"
"I don't want to pay attention to you!"
"I thought you were mute!" Li Mu was furious: "I really reflected on myself yesterday, thinking that I was a little sorry for you... Who would have thought that you were pretending, are you too much?"
Chapter completed!
