Chapter 132
The smile on his face widened when the teenager saw him coming towards him. Between the looks of an Changqing is also more intimate, while bouncing forward, while taking the initiative to introduce: "my name is Yuqiao, my father chose the name for my little uncle in Burma, how about you?"
"an Changqing."
Yu Qiao slowed down, looked carefully at an Changqing with wide eyes, and smiled and said, "you are really good-looking. if you go back to the village, the men who are chasing after me to have babies with me will turn to chase you." I heard my father say that my little uncle used to be the prettiest man in the village. "
An Changqing smiled faintly: "I am married and have two children." The man in the strong black suit just now is my companion. "
Yuqiao was very surprised and opened his eyes wide: "foreigners?"
"mm-hmm." An Changqing followed him through the woodland with one deep foot and one shallow foot: "my father is also a foreigner."
Yuqiao tilted his head and looked very puzzled. "my father always said it was dangerous outside, but I think you had a good time outside, too." Can you tell me about my little uncle and what happened outside? "
An Changqing thought about his clear eyes and did not hide it from him, so he told him exactly what had happened to the envoy in Yuze.
After hearing this, Yu Qiao muttered to himself, "that father is not deceiving me. The people outside are really bad. No one in our village dares to do such a thing."
An Changqing smiled, "there are indeed many bad guys out there, but there are also a lot of good people." My companions are good people. "
Yuqiao probably doesn't quite understand. Gengmei thought for a moment and said, "how can you tell the bad guys and the good guys from each other?"
An Changqing did not know how to answer him for a moment, hesitating: "for decades in life, the bad guys and the good guys will meet. If you see more, you will probably be able to tell." And sometimes there is no clear line between the good guys and the bad guys, maybe the same person, he hurt you, for you, that's the bad guy. But he protected me, and to me, he was a good man. "
"what about your friends? Are they good guys or bad guys for us? " Yuqiao suddenly stopped and looked straight at him without dodging.
The young man's eyes are still clear and pure. Some people are simply stupid, some people are simple but transparent, but Yuqiao is obviously the latter.
"they mean no harm, but they come from Dawei and Yuze respectively, and for you, they may be the descendants of those bad guys." An Changqing did not despise him because of his age, but chose to be honest with each other. He came here to find an antidote for the Huai brothers, as well as to relieve himself of his hidden dangers. Since we are asking for something from others, we must always be open and sincere in order to show our sincerity.
Sure enough, Yuqiao smiled, revealing two lovely little tiger teeth and said, "although I have little knowledge of what you said, my father once told me that if he is a liar, he must not take him to the village." If you didn't lie to me, you can enter the village. "
An Changqing was infected by him and smiled even more: "so I passed your test?"
"Yes. I'll take you back to the village. " Yuqiao smiled happily, took him by the wrist and led him to run. The two men walked through the woods, across patches of grass, and finally came to a big river.
At the end of the river is a cliff several feet wide. When the river falls on the edge of the cliff, it becomes an inverted waterfall. The view on the other side of the river was obscured by fog and could not be seen clearly. But an Changqing estimated the time they left and guessed that the cliff was the natural cutting found by the vanguard.
"how are we going to get there?"
"pass through the water." Yu Qiao said, "can you wash water?"
An Changqing was embarrassed and said, "I was flooded when I was a child."
Yu Qiao looked at him with an incredible look on his face, but was soon relieved and pushed him forward: "never mind, my father said that there is no mackerel people who do not know how to water, this is our nature." He threw me into the river when I was three years old. You can get down there. "
An Changqing is still hesitating, but he has quickly taken off his clothes and wrapped them in an inconspicuous gray bag. The other bag was given to an Changqing: "take off your clothes quickly. It won't get wet in the bag."
The gray cloth bag in my hand feels slippery and slippery to the touch, and it doesn't look like a common cloth. An Changqing looked at the Yuqiao, which had jumped into the river and waited, clenched his teeth and took off his coat, and followed him to jump in. Ever since he fell into the water when he was young, he has been deliberately staying away from the water, but when he was in the water, he felt unspeakable. Hands and feet waving disorderly in the water, even gradually floating up.
"the way you swim is really ugly." Yu Qiao laughed at him in the water, waved his hands and feet gracefully in front of him, grabbed his wrist and said, "you hold your breath, I'll take you forward."
An Changqing nodded and then took a breath and let him sink to the bottom of the river with him. The river on the island could be seen at the bottom. An Changqing could not get used to it at first, but after getting used to it, she became curious again. Look around with your eyes wide open. At the bottom of the river, in addition to water plants, there are all kinds of fish and shrimp. When they see people coming, they run away in panic. Yuqiao seems to be very familiar with this area, only to see him calmly waving his limbs at the bottom of the water, and even have the spare power to tease those panicked fleeing fish and shrimp.
An Changqing bent the corners of her mouth, but luckily she remembered in time that she was in the water and quickly held her breath.
I don't know how long swam at the bottom of the river with Yu Qiao, and was surprised that an Changqing didn't feel suffocated all the time. He looked back and estimated that they had spent at least one cup of tea at the bottom of the river, but he still held his breath. The river behind him was clear, and he didn't see anyone following him. He guessed that Xiao Zhige probably failed to follow him.
Come to think of it this way, the mackerel people who hide the passage at the bottom of the river are indeed better able to guard against outsiders.
He is meditating. felt that Yuqiao shook his hand vigorously, and when he came back, he saw Yuqiao point to the position on the top of his head, compare the shape of his mouth, and spit out a string of bubbles, which probably meant that they had arrived. An Changqing followed his example and tried to float up.
When the two men floated from the bottom of the river, they saw a row of flowers and trees, with reddish petals falling on the river and drifting away with the river. Further away, there are green meadows and rows of exquisite houses. The gray-haired old man in front of the house was basking in the sun, and there was a middle-aged man carrying a fish basket and a fishing rod as if he had just returned home. Seeing the Yuqiao on the river, he waved and said, "Bridge, you sneak out to play again. Your father knows, but I won't help you."
When he saw an Changqing next to him, his smile immediately reined in and said, "who is this?"
When the two men went ashore and quickly put on their clothes, Yu Qiao just pulled an Changqing over and said, "Uncle Seven, this is an Changqing." He is the grandson of my little uncle. "
The middle-aged man, known as the seventh uncle, fixed his eyes on an Changqing's face and took an examination: "are you the grandson of my younger brother?" Where is my little brother? How did you find it? Is there a way to prove it? "
Unlike Yuqiao, he is obviously very wary of outsiders. There is not much closeness between looks, but more defenses.
An Changqing showed him the red lines behind her ears, and took out the Pisces jade dress that had been brought back to Xiao Zhige just in case: "my mother was adopted, and my grandfather left only this jade dress." I followed the trail and just found it here. "
The seventh uncle trembled when he saw the jade dress, took a closer look at it for a while, and murmured, "it's really my brother's."
Then he looked up at an Changqing and said in a deep voice, "you come with me."
An Changqing hesitated for a moment and then followed. Yuqiao also wanted to follow, but she was stopped by the seventh uncle: "you go and find your father and father."
Yu Qiao said "Oh" reluctantly, and finally read an Changqing's words, and just dillydally left.
The seventh uncle took an Changqing into a wooden house at the back on the right. After the two sat down, the seventh uncle did not speak, but only looked at his face. An Changqing was not timid and looked him in the eye magnanimously.
"you don't look like him."
An Changqing lowered her eyes and whispered, "I haven't seen my grandfather."
"then what are you looking for?" The seventh uncle said, "if you said your mother was abandoned, the little brother must have been gone." You mother and son haven't met him, and you won't have much affection. Did you find it because you found yourself with a special physique? Or did the royal family of Yuze send you? You didn't come alone, did you? "
His eyes suddenly rose sharply, and an Changqing sat opposite him, and the doors and windows in the room were closed, making him feel like he was being interrogated. He silently raised his guard, thinking that although the mackerel tomb was isolated from the rest of the world, not all the people above were as simple as Yuqiao.
"I'm looking for an antidote."
Since he had guessed most of it, he also saved an Changqing's explanation: "my grandfather fell in love with King Yuze and went to Yuze midway. After giving birth to his mother, he left a piece of jade dress and disappeared." My mother didn't know who she was. She married and gave birth to me. I found that my physique is special, obviously a man's body can conceive, so I have been secretly tracking down. Only when I found Yuze did I know that I was the ancestor and the king of Yuze. The blood of the royal family of Yuze is poisonous, and the grandfather is the emissary of the antidote. After he disappeared, the Yuze royal family had no antidote and died young from generation to generation. This generation of King Yuze found out my identity, and we worked together to trace it here. "
"you are clever. If he had half your heart, he would probably not have been deceived." I do not know whether the seventh uncle said a word of praise or derogation and then became silent, only looking down at the piece of Pisces jade dress.
He was silent, but an Changqing was watching him secretly. He had been surprised before. Based on the age of his mother, no matter how young his grandfather was, he would have been nearly 60 years old. But Yu Qiao called his grandfather "little uncle", and uncle seven also called his grandfather "little brother". He was obviously about the same age as his grandfather, or even older. But the man in front of him is only in his forties, with a strong figure and no trace of old age.
An Changqing is wondering whether the seniority of these "seven uncles" is high, or whether the mackerel people can really live as immortal as they are said to be.
Before he wondered how long, the closed door was pushed open, when the first to come in was a pair of middle-aged men with excellent appearance, the slightly taller one was very similar to Yuqiao, and a pair of eagle eyes swept over and froze on his face for a moment. Voice with majesty: "you are Changqing?" My little brother's grandson? "
Uncle Qi turned around and showed them the piece of Pisces jade dress in the palm of his hand.
"it's my little brother's." The handsome man beside him took the jade dress and looked deeply at an Changqing. "Don't be afraid," he said after a while. "We just want to confirm something to you."
An Changqing nodded slightly.
The Qing Jun man said, "it's too small and inconvenient. Go to my place and say it."
It was only then that an Changqing turned to go out with them. When she went out, she found that besides these two people, there were three people standing at the door, two men and a woman, all of whom looked very good-looking, mostly middle-aged, and only one woman looked the oldest. Her hair was half gray, and she looked about fifty years old. He heard others call her "second Sister".
The second sister stood at the front, and when she saw an Changqing coming out, she came forward to look at him, sighed again, patted his hand hard, and slowly said to the others, "this is the fate of the mackerel people, and the high priest has predicted it for a long time." don't blame this kid. This is not always a bad thing. "
An Changqing was confused, but everyone else obviously understood what she meant. Qing Jun man nodded and said, "We know."
The second sister seemed satisfied and said to an Changqing, "your grandfather is my little brother, so just call me second aunt."
An Changqing gave a cry of good advice, and she laughed, and the tiny wrinkles on her face piled up, looking a little older than when she was not laughing. She patted an Changqing on the back and said to him, "go ahead and get down to business. When you're done, come and have dinner with me."
The others answered and led an Changqing to another wooden house. Bigger and brighter than before, obviously laid out by heart. Yuqiao is also there, like a small tail secretly hanging in the back, was a faint glance by the eagle-eyed man, and stopped to follow the pace.
After all the people were present, the Qing Jun man introduced him: "your grandfather had a total of eight brothers and sisters, and he was the youngest. He just met the second aunt, and I ranked fifth." another pointed to the eagle-eyed man around him: "he is in line three. I won't tell you when you've seen seven. These two are four and six. You can just call yourself Grandpa. "
An Changqing obediently and skillfully called a circle of people, and the eyes of several people present were sure enough to ease a lot.
Yu Wu then said, "first tell us about your grandfather and what happened outside."
An Changqing told them once again what he had found out. Several people looked different after hearing this. On the contrary, Yu Qi was obviously irritable and said in a bad tone, "I told you we shouldn't let Xiao Hachi go to sea. Those people outside don't have a good thing." This was true hundreds of years ago, and it will be the same hundreds of years later! In short, if we don't die, they won't give up! "
"Seven!" Yu San gave a shout, eagle eyes with awe-inspiring dignity: "this is the fate we were born with, and there is no need to complain." There are gains and losses. "
"I'd like to be an ordinary person." Yu Qi's fundus was filled with emotion.
"all right." Yu Wu sighed and interrupted their argument: "Let's get down to business."
Yu Qi obviously listened to him and sat down indignantly, only his eyes were still filled with unwillingness and resentment.
Yu Wu then turned his attention to an Changqing and asked, "are you here to find an antidote?"
"Yes."
Yu Wu looked at him gently, looking apologetic: "the antidote is in the Heavenly Palace at the bottom of the cliff. We could easily get in and out of the Heavenly Palace at the bottom of the cliff, but not long after Xiao Bayi never returned, the organ of the Heavenly Palace at the bottom of the cliff was activated and the door was closed. We can't get in. Even if nothing happens to Hachi, we won't be able to get the antidote in the next decade. "
An Changqing didn't think it would end like this, but she was stupefied and asked hesitantly, "can you tell me what's in the Heavenly Palace?"
"Heavenly Palace." Yu Wu seemed to be lost in memory: "according to the records handed down from generation to generation, the Heavenly Palace has countless gold, silver, jewelry and mackerel, as well as countless organs, the most central place." It is the resting place of the high priest. "
"High priest. Is it Yu Jing? " An Changqing asked again, "is he dead?"
Yu Wu glanced at him and shook his head: "it was just an empty tomb built at that time. We have never seen it."
What else did an Changqing want to ask? Yu Wu stopped his conversation, pointed to the dark sky outside and said, "it's getting late. Let's go to dinner first." I know you must have a lot of questions to ask. I'll tell you after dinner. "
He smiled helplessly: "A lot of things are handed down by word of mouth. I'm old and I can't remember clearly. I have to think about it."
An Changqing looked at his face in his early forties and said, "you don't look old."
Yu Wu laughed and beckoned others to go to dinner first: "look at people, you can't just look at your appearance.". Just like the wicked often have a Bodhisattva face. And some people are too old to see it in their faces. "
