Chapter 33 The Sick Beauty Patriarch Villain 2
Looking outside the eaves, blue clouds and mist are misty among the mountains. The mountain temple is located on the top of the mountain overlooking all living beings. The terrain of Qiaojia Village is steep. The villagers believe that they can continue their blood and rely on the blessing of the mountain god.
The servants didn't dare to raise their heads, walked out of the hall respectfully and said in a low voice: "Master, dinner is ready, please move to the dining hall."
When Qiao Zhuo walked in full of anticipation, the crowd stood in two rows, posing quite big, but there was only a bowl of porridge on the large mahogany tabletop, not even a plate of vegetarian dishes!
The servants were not surprised by this, and were not even afraid of Qiao Zhuo's anger.
The system explained: "Host, as the new patriarch, you have to observe the mourning period."
Qiao Zhuo sat down without changing his face, stroking the fox fur in his hands, but asked anxiously in his heart: "The mourning period? How long will it take?"
System: "Three months."
Qiao Zhuo: "..." Gan!Will he really not starve to death?This is also far worse than the first two worlds where people eat hot food.
Qiao Zhuo: "I'm applying for a subsidy."
The system was puzzled and asked, "What subsidy?"
Qiao Zhuo said: "For example, you quietly cook a small stove for me at night."
The system was speechless, and said: "Host, it is because our system data cannot interfere with the direction of the small world that we let the tasker be the medium."
Qiao Zhuo snorted, "The welfare is too poor, I will resign sooner or later."
Threatened system: "Oh."
When Qiao Zhuo put away his emotions and just picked up the spoon, a girl approached and skillfully picked up the red string and tied his long hair in a low ponytail for him.
Long and slender tassels hung from the red rope, which made Qiao Zhuo's skin whiter, and also completely exposed the red mole on his earlobe.
Qiao Zhuo keenly noticed that everyone in the room slowed down their breathing. While scooping up a spoon, he complained to the system: "This villain's personality is uncertain? I think they are too scared to breathe."
system:"."
Just when the system was about to speak, Qiao Zhuo pretended to be stunned and said, "Oh? What did you say? You're not afraid of me, it's just because I'm so handsome?"
System: "It's not me, I didn't say." Who will help arrest him, thank you.
While Qiao Zhuo was eating the bland porridge, three or five servants came in with plates of meat, vegetables, and large white rice, and placed them on the long table next to the dining hall.
Qiao Zhuo: "...Well, is this possible?"
The system gloated and explained: "Children are growing up and need nutrition."
Qiao Zhuo: ":)"
Qiao Dadong's voice sounded from not far outside the dining hall, "Remember what I said after you go in for a while, and say hello to the master." When he said that, his eyes focused on Yanxi.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Yanxi's gray face was washed clean, and he looked like the most heroic one among the group of children, with a youthful and handsome appearance.
A group of little bean dings have all changed into clean clothes distributed by the mansion at this moment. They are all azure, white and clean, which is pleasing to the eye.
After a while, Qiao Dadong led a group of little Doudings into the dining hall. The children looked at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and lowered their heads very quietly. They never dared to stare at Qiao Zhuo as they did in the morning.
But there is always an unconventional one among them, such as the male lead.
Seeing him staring at him blankly, Qiao Zhuo asked with cold eyes as soon as he put the spoon down, "Do I look good?"
Yanxi noticed that the smoke-like man was talking, and when he was about to answer, he remembered the butler's order, first said hello to the master, and then said: "It looks good."
After Yanxi finished speaking, he heard this handsome old man change from his gentle attitude in the morning, and ordered coldly with lowered eyes: "Go down, a board."
Qiao Shanshan covered her mouth and was frightened, but the person involved, Yanxi, blinked blankly, as if she hadn't recovered.
Qiao Dadong knew this would be the end, so he let the other Xiaodoudings sit at the table to eat, led Yanxi and went out.
Walking to the backyard, Qiao Dadong said: "It's considered a high hand for the master to give you a board. The first time he was stared at by others, the second time he was noisy. Seeing that you are still young when you first entered the house, you should learn the rules slowly."
Yanxi lay on the bench in the backyard and got hit by a board, angrily thinking what a big deal, not all men have a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and if they don't look at it, they don't look at it.
Qiao Zhuo drank a bowl of porridge slowly, before the system prompt sounded: "The male protagonist Yanxi's disgust value +1."
Qiao Zhuo said with a smile: "The child still doesn't hold grudges, adding so little?"
The system clicked tut a few times, "Host, you really can do it."
Qiao Zhuo snorted coldly, "He's a young man with amnesia and disappearance all by himself. I took him in at this juncture. I'll be gentle at the beginning, and it will be even harder to increase the disgust value in the future."
The system worshiped: "You are still the host, and the relationship line this time will definitely not collapse."
Qiao Zhuo let the maid behind him untie the red rope that tied his hair, lowered his eyes and asked the system: "What goal does the hero need to achieve in the end?"
The system said: "The male protagonist will finally reveal the truth about the dark rituals in the village with his own hands, uproot this bad habit, and rescue twelve boys and girls."
Qiao Zhuo wiped his hands with the handkerchief handed over by the servant, and gradually had a plan in his mind.
Yanxi came back from the board, and when she stepped into the dining hall, she stiffened her neck and didn't look at Qiao Zhuo's side, she was quite out of character.
The maid standing behind Qiao Zhuo called herself Baozhu, "Master, Baozhu has tidied up your bed, which young master should you keep watch tonight?"
It has to be said that Qiaojia Village is worthy of being a clan that has continued to worship for hundreds of years. There are countless rules, including letting the selected boys take turns to watch the night for the clan leader, which is called tempering.
Qiao Zhuo put down the handkerchief and frowned lightly, "The kid who was hit by the board just now, let him come."
Baozhu lowered her eyebrows and nodded, and let out a sigh.
Yanxi sat next to Qiao Shanshan. This lively girl had long been familiar with everyone, and she was the only one who dared to talk to the cold-faced Yanxi.
"Yanxi, how big is a board, does it hurt you?" Qiao Shanshan asked in a low voice, biting her chopsticks, her big eyes were round.
Yanxi has a straight face, and since she was a child, she has an outstanding poise, which is particularly eye-catching among a group of silly boys.
"It doesn't hurt." Yanxi straightened his back and drank a large bowl of soup, with an obvious expression of dissatisfaction.
Qiao Xiuwen leaned over to Qiao Shanshan's other side, handed out the steamed bun in his hand, and asked, "Shanshan, are you full? This is for you."
Qiao Shanshan accepted it without notice, and the girl showed a naive smile on her face, "How do you know I'm not full?"
Qiao Xiuwen was slow, and now it took a long time before he dared to say the first sentence to Yanxi, "Don't be upset, everyone knows that the mansion has many rules before coming here, but the cost of food and clothing is much better than outside."
Although Yanxi has forgotten his family background and name, he is no stranger to the utensils used in the mansion. Even the small silver-plated bowl Qiao Zhuo is holding is not surprising to him, as if there is a kind of familiarity in his bones.Familiarity.
"We have been selected to worship the mountain god, how long will we have to worship?" Yanxi asked.
Qiao Shanshan and Qiao Xiuwen were shocked when they heard his words, Qiao Shanshan said in a low voice, "Don't ask casually such things in the future, we are still far from worshiping mountain gods, it will take many years."
Qiao Shanshan's words were weird, Yanxi frowned and asked, "Isn't it starting to worship now? How come it will be many years later?"
Qiao Xiuwen saw Qiao Shanshan blushing with anger, pressed her shoulders, and explained to Yanxi: "Boys and virgins who worship mountain gods need to learn etiquette and literacy, at least they have to calm down and study theology for at least six years before they are eligible to worship."
Yanxi nodded suspiciously, "What about after you go?"
Yanxi's words stopped the two children, yes, what happens after they go?
Qiao Shanshan didn't know, but she didn't want to know either, she wrinkled her little nose and snorted, "Whatever you do, it's still a few years before our turn, just ask the master if it's time."
Speaking of the master, the other children beside him also became interested, and discussed in a low voice: "It's the first time I see a man with such long hair, and my mother's hair is not so long and beautiful."
Qiao Shanshan hissed: "What nonsense, be careful that the master rewards you."
The man gave Yanxi a sympathetic look, shut his mouth and dared not speak again.
Yanxi deliberately said with a stern face, "It's not pretty."
Qiao Shanshan and Qiao Xiu Stationery were surprised, "You think the master is not good-looking? But you just said he was good-looking and got a reward."
Humiliated in front of his companions on the first day, Yanxi held his breath in his chest, and before he had time to refute, Baozhu, the maid next to the master, came over.
The maid braided two braids, and had a youthful and beautiful oval face, "Master Yanxi, the master wants you to watch the night tonight."
The other boys and girls who were selected were honored as young masters and were so happy that they didn't know what to say, but Yanxi didn't have a flattered expression on his face, he not only accepted it calmly, even there was very little happy expression on his face.
Yanxi was led to wash up again after eating, and sneezed several times while spraying rose powder.
Finally, after all the rules were gone, Yanxi was sent to the master's room. When she entered the door, the candles were on, and two maids, Baozhuzhen, were standing beside Qiao Zhuo, one on the left and the other on the right, gently fanning the wind.
Qiao Zhuo's long hair was tied behind his head with a red rope. He was reading a book with his head tilted, his slender neck raised, reminding Yanxi of a dying swan.
Yanxi stood at the door for a long time, and when the candle was about to go dark, Qiao Zhuo looked up at him like a charity, then frowned coldly, and asked, "Why is it him?"
Baozhu immediately knelt down, "My lord, forgive me, this servant made a mistake."
Qiao Zhuo squinted his eyes and let out a hum, Yanxi came back to understand that he was deliberately torturing himself for fun, his hands were tightly clenched by his sides, and the anger was evident on his face.
The system prompt sounded: "The male protagonist Yanxi's disgust value +10."
Satisfied, Qiao Zhuo raised his hand to chase away people, "From now on, this night watch rule will be exempted, so as not to upset me."
Baozhu knelt on the ground and raised her head in surprise, Baozhen on the other side also knelt down with a plop, "Master, you must never, the rules must not be broken."
Qiao Zhuo didn't care too much, he covered the pages of the book with his palm, his eyes were full of coldness, "I can't be your master?"
Baozhuzhen covered the ground with her head, trembling and said: "Understood, master."
Yanxi was sent back to the backyard room again. Qiao Xiuwen was shocked when he saw him, and then quickly comforted him: "It's okay, there will be more opportunities to see the master in the future."
Little did he know that just as Qiao Zhuo was taking a rest, the system prompt sounded suddenly: "In order to ensure the efficiency of task completion, the time flow will be accelerated and unnecessary repetitive plots will be shortened."
Qiao Zhuo heard that as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Baozhu knock on the door, saying, "Master, it's time to get up."
Qiao Zhuo: "...?"
System: "Hee hee."
