"Yaoyao!"
"Brother Xiaotian!"
Ye Xiaotian met Yaoyao on the way. Yaoyao was carried by a man of the Miao family and was walking on the mountain road. As soon as she saw Ye Xiaotian, Yaoyao struggled excitedly. When the man of the Miao family put her down, she threw herself into Ye Xiaotian's arms like a happy swallow and burst into tears.
The men of the Miao family who escorted Yaoyao were standing aside indifferently. When they heard that the handsome young man in front of them was the Gu God Venerable, they panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Xiaotian devoutly.
Ye Xiaotian patted Yao Yao's back and comforted her with a gentle voice. He helped her wipe away her tears and then handed her over to Hua Yunfei. Then, he walked over and helped the few men from the Miao Family up one by one, thanking them solemnly.
The men of the Miao family understood that the Venerable was expressing his gratitude to them after listening to the translation. They were so panicked that they almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed again. Ye Xiaotian then realized that his identity as the Venerable really had a supreme position in the hearts of these rough and simple men of the Miao family.
After thanking them, Ye Xiaotian took Yao Yao and comforted her, "Alright, alright, let's not cry anymore. Aren't we back now? In the future, Big Brother Xiaotian will definitely protect you well and won't let anyone capture you again. Where have you been these days? Did the two bad guys bully you? "
Yao Yao sobbed and sobbed as she talked about how she missed her Big Brother Xiaotian these past few days and how worried she was. Ye Xiaotian comforted her as he asked. After patiently asking for a long time, Ye Xiaotian gradually made sense of Yao Yao's jumbled words.
Yaoyao said that after Ye Xiaotian left the inn in the heavy rain that day, a waiter came to sit with her in the room. She was not familiar with the waiter, so she just played with Fuwa while the waiter sat at the table and watched them.
After a while, someone suddenly opened the door and came in. The waiter stood up in surprise and asked for the identity of the person. But a man with a goatee suddenly rushed in front of him and stabbed his throat with a knife.
The waiter's body softened and he sat down, banging his head on the table. When Yaoyao saw this, she was so scared that she wanted to scream, but the other person quickly rushed over and covered her mouth with a cloth that smelled like medicine. Then she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found that she had already been put into a bamboo basket and carried up the mountain. They walked in the forest for a long time. Ever since that day when she met Ye Xiaotian and the others on a cliff, the two of them had brought her along and walked a long mountain road. Then, with the cloth that smelled like medicine covering her mouth, she fainted.
When she woke up again, she found that she was in a cave. Next to her was a middle-aged man wearing embroidered clothes who was smiling and playing with the small wooden tablet that she had worn on her chest since she was young. Seeing that she had woken up, the man said that he was Yaoyao's biological father and that he had picked her up to take her home to enjoy life.
Of course, Yaoyao didn't want to accept a father for no reason. But she had been very sensible since she was young and didn't cry or make a fuss. She just hugged her knees and sat against the cave wall. She refused to call the man father and only used silence to deal with him. The man talked alone for a while, then felt bored and walked away.
After that, the two people were still responsible for taking care of Yaoyao. They never mistreated her, but they never allowed her to leave the cave. After a day, the man who claimed to be her father came to see her again and teased her. Yaoyao still ignored him. The man didn't get angry and only talked with her for a while with a smile before leaving again.
Just like this, the man came a few more times, but every time he came, the time between each visit was very short. It seemed like he was very busy. Anyway, every time he came, Yaoyao kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word. She only listened to the man talk about how she still had a few older brothers and sisters. After he was done with the matters here, he would bring her home and she wouldn't be bullied anymore.
Until yesterday, Yaoyao was suddenly bewitched by the goatee again. When she woke up, she found that she was in another cave. In the cave, she heard the goatee discussing with another person at the cave entrance. He said that her father was dead and the promised benefits were gone. Why not steal this child away. If her family cared, they could ransom her for some money. If they didn't, they could sell her off and it wouldn't be a wasted trip.
When Yaoyao heard their conversation, she was very afraid. She pretended not to hear anything and slipped out when they relaxed their vigilance and went out to get water. She played "hide and seek" with them in the numerous caves nearby. Later on, she discovered these Miao uncles.
At this moment, Ye Xiaotian and the rest were resting by the roadside. Ye Xiaotian sat on a large rock, hugging Yaoyao on his knees as he listened to her story. When he heard that man claimed to be Yaoyao's father, he couldn't help but be shocked. But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If it wasn't so, there was no logical explanation for those two people scheming to kidnap Yaoyao.
But, who was Yaoyao's father and how did he die? The number of people who died these few days was not small. There was more than one person with power and status among them. For a moment, he couldn't figure out who it was.
Ye Xiaotian asked Yaoyao. Yaoyao didn't know either. She never spoke in front of that man who claimed to be her father. That man only smiled helplessly. That man had described her mother's appearance to prove that he was indeed Yaoyao's father. But when Yaoyao's mother died, Yaoyao was still very young. Her impression of her mother was very shallow. How could she prove whether that man was speaking the truth or not. Even if it was the truth, she still had a sense of estrangement with that man.
That man saw that Yaoyao didn't say a word in front of him, but he didn't say anything else to her. Every time he came back to see her, he would ask if she had eaten well, sleep well, and promised to take her home after he finished his work.
Ye Xiaotian asked about that man's appearance again. Yaoyao was also vague. She was still young, so how could she clearly describe someone's appearance? At most, she could say that the man was tall, that he had a beard, that he spoke very kindly, and so on.
Zhan Ning 'er interrupted, "Forget it. Yaoyao is still so young. You won't be able to ask clearly. No matter who that man is, he is already dead. Now that Yaoyao has been found, it's good enough. It's getting late, let's go back to the temple. Otherwise I'm afraid we will have to spend the night outside tonight. "
Ye Xiaotian touched the wooden token hanging on Yaoyao's neck and was deep in thought. When he heard Zhan Ning 'er's words, he nodded his head slightly. Looking at Yaoyao whose tears had not dried, he gently said, "Come, let's go back. Two days later, Brother Xiaotian will bring you home, back to our own home."
Yaoyao hugged his neck and said joyfully, "Brother will always take care of Yaoyao and will never abandon me again right?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and nodded his head, said, "En! As long as you are willing to follow, brother will take care of you forever! "
Those few Miao people had been standing respectfully at the side. When Ye Xiaotian sat down, they did not dare to sit down. At this moment, one of them came forward with a knife in his hand, bowed his head and spoke a few words to Ye Xiaotian.
Zhan Ning 'er heard it and said to Ye Xiaoxiao, "They said, the two villains who kidnapped Yaoyao are already dead. They found the knife from one of them."
Ye Xiaotian stretched his hand out to grab the knife. The knife had an old bear skin scabbard, the semicircular old copper engraved blade was polished to a shine. The hilt was wrapped in silver thread and looked very exquisite. The length and weight were also very fitting to his hand. He hung it on his waist.
…
Ye Xiaotian was about to leave the temple and 'travel the world'. Right now, after a round of painstaking selection by the eight elders, they finally selected a person for Ye Xiaotian to accompany him and teach him the art of voodoo.
Gedwa led that person to Ye Xiaotian and introduced, "Venerable, this is the person whom we have selected for Venerable to accompany Venerable and to teach you the art of voodoo, he is called Dong Tian."
Ye Xiaotian looked at that person, he was half-bald, a bulbous nose, tall and thin, dressed in a black robe, his body slightly hunched and seemed to be a little frail. A pair of not considered big eyes were slightly squinted, revealing a gloomy air. He was not happy at first and asked, "Dong? He is Dong Tian's? "
Gedwa smiled and said, "No no, we Miao people use the father's name as our surname and the surname is placed behind. He is called Dong, his father is called Tian, so he is called Dong Tian. His grandfather is called Bo, so his father's full name is Tian Bo. "
Ye Xiaotian replied with an 'oh' and looked at Dong Tian from head to toe. Dong Tian's face was still expressionless, but his waist subconsciously bent towards Ye Xiaotian. It seemed that he was born with a poker face and did not deliberately pretend to be so cold and arrogant.
Ye Xiaotian could not help but ask again, "Why is he always squinting at me, looking like he is up to no good?"
That person obviously understood Chinese and after hearing Ye Xiaotian's words, he felt a little embarrassed. Gedwa smiled and explained, "Dong Tian's eyesight is not good, he has to squint to see Venerable's appearance clearly. He's already someone who's going to accompany the Venerable One, how can he not recognize the Venerable One's face? "
After Gedwa finished speaking, he turned around with a smile and said, "Dong Tian, quickly come forward and greet Venerable. In the future, you will be serving Venerable and teach Venerable the art of Gu when you are free."
Dong Tian bowed his head and said, "Yes!"
Gedwa said, "Venerable, Dong Tian is one of my favorite disciples. Originally, I wanted him to inherit my mantle, but it is a pity that this child does not know the ways of the world and only studies the art of Gu. He is not the most suitable person to handle educational affairs, but he is the best person to teach Venerable the art of Gu. "
When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he realized that this was clearly a different kind of bookworm. However, the bookworm read the books of sages, and he studied the art of Gu. With such a person by his side, he would definitely not meddle in his affairs. He was originally a little dissatisfied with Dong Tian's appearance, but now he looked more pleasing to the eye.
The eight Great Elders of the Temple led the people of the Temple to line up outside the Temple to send Venerable off. Ye Xiaotian walked out with Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi to greet them one by one. When he walked to the end of the line, he found that the local tribal chief, Gedore, had also brought his whole family.
Venerable would be gone for at least three to five years, or at most eight to ten years. How could Gedore miss such a rare opportunity to get closer to him? He also specially carried Ye Xiaotian's godson, Little Mi Jiu.
Mi Jiu was sleeping soundly in his father's arms, with his little finger still in his mouth. His pink and cute appearance was indescribable. Ye Xiaotian held him in his arms and suddenly thought that after he married and had children, he would also have such a cute baby. Although he had not yet become a father, his heart suddenly had the feeling of a father and son's love.
"Wealth, glory, beautiful women … Even if it can't be exchanged for a child, it is worth it!" Ye Xiaotian thought and gently kissed Mi Jiu's cheek. Gedore saw that he really liked this child from the bottom of his heart and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
When Ye Xiaotian returned the wine to Gedo, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two resentful gazes looking at him from the side. His gaze suddenly moved, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Sister Taiyang was lightly pursing her lips and looking down at the tips of her own feet.
Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered what he said to Gedwa, "Well, if after twenty years, Sister Sun really sent her daughter to serve me, then wouldn't this boy in my arms become my uncle? My uncle is my adopted son, and my adopted son is my uncle. What kind of seniority is this? "
