"Uncle, how can you —" An Biru was shocked and quickly ran to the stone door. She stomped her feet anxiously as she looked at the falling black shadow.
"Sage Nun can't bear to suffer such a small torture?!" Han Nong laughed. "I wonder how capable this Hua Clan brat is to steal the heart of our Miao Village's Phoenix! We have to interrogate him next time! "
The elders laughed. An Biru was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to raise her head. Her eyes were rippling with gentleness.
The second elder nodded. "This brat is quite courageous and is infatuated with Sage Nun. What's even rarer is that he doesn't discriminate against us Miao people and is quite sincere to Miao Village! I just don't know how trustworthy his words are! "
This was the key. Everyone nodded in agreement. The first elder chuckled. "Sincerity is valuable, but he wants to marry our Sage Nun. How can we let him have his way? At the very least, we have to follow the rules of Miao Village so that we can answer to our fellow villagers! Don't you think so, Sage Nun?! "
An Biru's face flushed red as she said in a light voice, "Then Uncles, please consider him properly! If you don't like him, I'll beat him back! "
The elders looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile. Beat him back? If only you could bear to do it!
The cold wind was like a sharp knife that cut into the bones. It whistled in the ears and cut their cheeks. Lin Wanrong's body fell straight down. He curled up into a ball in fear and complained. Oh no, did I think wrong? Is there really a cliff below us?! Then I'll be the one who died unjustly!
He thought about it and felt that something was wrong. When I held Sister An's hand. She was obviously calm and her palms were warm. She didn't look worried at all. I'm her precious little brother. Sister Fox has no reason to blackmail me!
The wind whistled so loudly that he couldn't open his eyes. His thoughts were all messed up. His body fell faster and faster like a falling rocket.
"Whoosh." He suddenly felt his cheeks were cold. His body fell into a pool of cold lake water like a heavy stone. He dived straight to the bottom of the lake. He flew several feet high. Everything in front of him was dark green. The raging lake water rushed into his mouth, nose, and ears from all directions. It was bone-chilling.
So that was how it was! This high platform diving was clearly specially designed for me, a small white dragon. No wonder Sister An was so calm! He was overjoyed. He kicked a few times at the bottom of the pond and swam up to the surface like a swift fish.
The sound of water splashing could be heard. He peeked out from the surface of the lake and gently wiped the water droplets off his face. He heaved a sigh of relief. The place where he landed was actually a vast and serene lake embedded in the peak. It was only a vertical distance of fifty to sixty feet from the top of Five Lotus Peak. However, the peak was shrouded in clouds and fog. Those who were not familiar with the terrain would not be able to see the quiet lake below.
Great Elder Han Nong's so-called test was just a psychological battle. This jump of his showed whether his relationship with the Sage Nun was sand or gold. All the elders could clearly see it.
Now, you old men have no reason to stop me anymore, right? He slapped the surface of the water a few times, causing a sparkling splash. They were overjoyed.
"Don't be so smug. Get up quickly! "A deep voice suddenly came from the side of the pond, with a hint of anger.
He quickly turned around and looked towards the shore. He immediately shrank back into the water, "Old man Bu Yi, you, why are you here?!"
Bu Yi stood on the shore, holding the hatchet in his hand and scoffed, "The Sage Nun asked me to bring you clothes!"
On the big rock beside him was the red Miao robe that he had taken off for Sister An. It was also given to Lin Wanrong by Elaine.
Looking at Bu Yi's dark face, Lin Wanrong groaned in his heart. This Fox Sister, of all people she could have sent, it had to be Old Man Bu Yi. Was she trying to make me look bad?! He laughed a few times and said, "Thank you, Old Man. I don't think I'll wear this robe!"
"What did you say?!" Bu Yi was furious. He gripped the hatchet tightly and glared, "Say that again!"
Old Man Bu Yi was furious as if his tail had been stepped on. Lin Wanrong quickly shrank back into the water and dared not move.
"I don't care who you are. This is the robe that Elaine gave you. Since you've put it on, you can't take it off! Do you think that the daughters of the Miao family are easy to bully? "
Bu Yi looked tall, thin and calm. However, if he was really angry, he had the dignity of a Red Miao leader. The father and daughter were the first friends that Lin Wanrong had met since he entered the Miao village in Xuzhou. He was indebted to them and this kindness could never be forgotten. Lin Wanrong scratched his head and laughed dryly, "Old Man, don't be angry. I'll wear it! But don't misunderstand me. I've always treated Elaine as a friend! "
Bu Yi scoffed and ignored him. Lin Wanrong swam to the shore cautiously. Seeing that he had no intention of wielding the knife, he quickly grabbed the robe and quickly hid far away.
Sister Master had prepared a new set of underwear for him. Together with the treasures in his arms, they were all packed in a Miao family's cloth bag. The belt that Elaine gave him was also in sight. He stared silently for a long time, shook his head and sighed.
"Where's Elaine?!" Bu Yi came from afar and had not had the time to meet his daughter. Naturally, he did not know what had happened between them. Seeing that he was neatly dressed, he asked.
Lin Wanrong did not know how to answer. After a long time, he said with a shy face, "At that time, Elaine and I had a conflict. She was so angry that she ran away alone. But don't worry, Zi Tong and the rest of Mount Kun are following her. "
Bu Yi's father knew his daughter's temper too well. She was bewitched by this hateful Hua family. She would rather not eat or wear anything and leave all the good things for him. How could she quarrel with him? There must be a reason behind this.
Looking at the Hua family's dispirited look, his father said helplessly, "It turns out that the matter between you and Sage Nun is all true. It's a pity that I have always treated it as a joke! Does Elaine know about it?! "
Lin Wanrong shook his head in distress, "I've told her a few times, but she never believed me. I'm at my wit's end!"
It would be a miracle if she could believe it! Bu Yi snorted and stared at him, "Then what are you going to do with my daughter?!"
Hearing this question gave him a headache! Lin Wanrong blinked his eyes carefully, "Father, there is actually nothing between me and Elaine. She is a lovely girl. She will definitely find her sweetheart —"
"Bullshit!" His father spat fiercely. He was so angry that his face turned pale, "What kind of person do you think my daughter is?! The sunflower on the high mountain will always only have one vine! Our Miao Family's daughters are famous for their loyalty. Once they fall in love with someone, they will never change. Where do you think Elaine can find another lover like you? "
Miao women were affectionate. This was not just a saying. A girl like Elaine. Her temperament was extremely noble. If she wanted to like someone, how could it be so easy to change? Looking at Bu Yi's father stomping his feet and cursing, Lin Wanrong was worried for a moment and did not know what to do.
While he was silent, he suddenly heard a clear and loud mountain song drifting from the top of the mountain:
I love you, I love you, I love you to death,
Ask a painter to draw you;
Draw you on the sheet.
Hugging you day and night.
On top of Five Lotus Peak stood a graceful figure. The cold wind ruffled her sleeves, causing her silver ornaments to jingle. She was quiet and lonely, like a lonely little flower.
Lin Wanrong was stunned. He immediately jumped up and waved his hand vigorously with all his strength, "Elaine. Elaine — "
The valley was quiet. His voice was extremely loud, and his voice drifted out. Elaine looked over and saw the familiar figure. Her face was a mixture of sadness and joy. She suddenly took two steps back, grabbed a handful of small stones, and threw them over. The sad and bitter mountain song echoed between the peaks and valleys:
Hate you, hate you, hate you to death,
Ask a carpenter to carve you;
Carve you on the cutting board,
Chop you to death with a thousand knives.
Separated by a great distance, the stones fell in mid-air, but Elaine seemed to be in a fit of pique, throwing them one by one, one after another, like a fairy scattering flowers.
The two mountain songs were completely different. They were both simple and straightforward, but they were full of love and hate. They were extremely interesting and vividly expressed the girl's thoughts. Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. His intuition told him that this little sister of the Miao family was really cute.
Seeing that he kept waving at her, but the stone couldn't hit him at all, Elaine gritted her teeth, pouted, and looked at him affectionately. After looking at him for a long time, she suddenly stomped her feet, turned around, and ran away.
It's good that this girl is fine! Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he was shocked. Bu Yi's father, holding a gleaming hatchet, looked at him with bright eyes and said loudly, "Hua family son, I'm warning you, if you dare to mistreat my daughter, I will definitely chop you alive!"
He fiercely chopped the big rock beside him, sparks flew, the hatchet even had a few notches. Lin Wanrong hurriedly laughed dryly and shrunk his head, it was just when his father was furious, it was better to hide first!
Elaine had already run off to somewhere, and could no longer be seen. He was now at the back cliff of Wu Lian Peak, cheers could be heard from time to time from the front mountain, indicating that the Flowery Mountain Festival was at its most lively moment.
With Bu Yi, one in front and one behind, they walked up the steps, crossed a few slopes and saw the Miao people in the middle of the lawn were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. The lusheng was in unison, the singing was deafening, all of the Miao family's eyes were nervously sizing up the two rows of wooden planks in the middle of the lawn. The wooden planks were filled with sharp steel knives, one by one, the blades facing upwards, densely bound tightly, gleaming with cold light, it looked very scary.
"What is this?!" Lin Wanrong was very curious.
Bu Yi followed behind him, after hearing a few glances, his face also showed some excitement, "This is called Stepping on the Mountain of Knives, it is a traditional event of our Miao village's Flowery Mountain Festival, only the bravest Mido, dares to walk over!"
Oh, this is the legendary Mountain of Knives, it is indeed a little difficult! Lin Wanrong nodded, suddenly his face changed: Oh no, this is my father reminding me, to be the bravest Mido in Miao village, it is not enough to win in horse fights, I must also have the ability to step on the Mountain of Knives, otherwise, people will not be convinced by me!
With this thought, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he did not even dare to breathe loudly. Just now he dared to jump off the cliff, because he knew that Sister An would not let him die, that was because he had nothing to fear, so he could jump freely. But this Mountain of Knives was different, it was all based on real ability, there was no room for falsehood! How could he play this?!
Gao Qiu was waiting for him halfway up the mountain, he was a little surprised to see him coming down with Master Bu Yi. Lin Wanrong did not have time to explain, he pulled him and asked nervously, "Brother Gao, how can we step on this Mountain of Knives?!"
Old Gao had been watching for a long time, he whispered, "Stepping on the Steel Knife is not an ordinary Kung Fu, it needs to be proficient in both internal and external martial arts, if Brother Lin starts practicing since young and diligently for forty years, you can definitely do it."
Lin Wanrong heard this and rolled his eyes, you old man, what you said is as good as not saying anything, if I had that kind of Kung Fu, why would I bring you along?
Just as he was trembling in fear, he suddenly saw a Black Miao guard striding over, pointing at him and talking in the Miao language, his expression was very fierce. Bu Yi's father translated in a low voice next to Lin Wanrong's ear, "He asked, are you Brother Lin of the Red Miao?!"
My nickname Brother Lin has spread far and wide, even the Black Miao know about it. Lin Wanrong giggled, he nodded and said, "Yes yes, I am Brother Lin! Little brother, what business do you have with me? Oh, that's right, in front of Sir Nie, all of you must speak the Hua family language, have you forgotten Head Leader Zha Guo's teachings? "
Did the Big Head Leader say this? The guard was a little confused, he was stunned for a while before he said, "Are you really Brother Lin? Head Leader asked me to pass a message to you! "
Head Leader passed a message to me?! Lin Wanrong hurriedly raised his head, he saw Zha Guo standing in front of the Mountain of Knives, a smug look on his face, he was looking at him with a sneer.
A bad feeling rose in Lin Wanrong's heart, he hurriedly asked, "What did Zha Guo say?"
This Red Miao was really arrogant, he actually dared to call the Big Head Leader by his name. The guard chuckled sinisterly, "The Big Head Leader said that when you were beating the horse just now, it was you who used despicable tricks to plot against him, that's why you won! But now it's different, in front of tens of thousands of villagers, do you dare to step on the Mountain of Knives with him?! "
