Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 317 Worry (2)
Walked along the fence beside the river for a while. Yueqing sighed again.
She stopped, leaned on the railing, picked off a petal, and threw it into the water. The flower in her hand had few petals left. After watching the petals drift for a while, I simply threw the entire flower in my hand.
A green willow branch stretched out from the side.
Yue Qing turned around and saw Mo Xue holding the willow branch towards her.
Yue Qing smiled, "What are you doing?"
"Seeing that the petals in the lady's hand were gone, I handed her a new one. Unfortunately, there are no big flowers here, so I had to use a willow branch instead."
Yue Qing smiled, but the willow branch flicked twice.
"Letting others see you folding flowers and grass will harm your image."
"What image can Mo Xue have?"
"Young Master Qianqian, you are gentle and reasonable. How can such a person pick flowers and plants?"
Mo Xue smiled and said, "Miss, your opinion of me is really high."
"That's right, any one of us can break flowers and plants, but you, Mo Xue, are the least likely to do it."
Mo Xue smiled gently and did not refute her. "Miss sighed more than usual today."
Yue Qing tugged at the corner of her mouth, turned around and looked at the river again.
"The reason why the young lady is unhappy must be because of what the seventh elder said, but because of the matter of the Earthline Altar? Did the seventh elder tell the young lady all about the altar? Mo Xue guessed that the seventh elder must have also said that the head of the Peony Academy is the spirit girl guarding the altar. ."
Yue Qing said, "Isn't this the secret of the Villa? Why do you always want to find out?"
"It's true that it's a secret of the villa, but it affects the lady's mood, so we can't ignore it."
"How can I control it? I can't. I've been thinking about it for a long time but I still can't find a way. You're not the Chang family's spiritual daughter. What can you do?"
"How did the young lady know that there was nothing we could do? Maybe the young lady could tell us. This is not the first time that Mo Xue has violated the rules of the villa since he and the young lady left the villa."
Yueqing laughed. "I heard from the Seventh Elder that you called me miss instead of the dean, and I reprimanded you. By the way, aren't you deacons afraid of the elders?"
"It's not a matter of fear or not. When we are with the young lady now, we have to think about things from the young lady's point of view. Maybe this matter does involve the secrets of the villa, but now the young lady can't find anyone to discuss it with, right?
All of us followed the young lady out just to deal with this kind of problem. Miss, you still remember that before leaving the villa, the great elder told us that we can represent various ethnic groups and have certain rights.
Although the affairs of the Earth Meridian Altar are managed by the Chang family, the elders of the villa and the clan heads of each clan know about it. Although we don’t know the whole story, we still know the general situation.
The young lady should know that many of the historical documents of the villa are preserved in the Mo family's ancestral hall. The Mo family knows no less about the villa than the Chang family. My status in the Mo family is not much lower than Chang Ge's status in the Chang family. Does the lady find it strange to know this? "
Yueqing looked at him. "You are right. The seventh elder told me that the main person in Mudanyuan is to guard the altar. Once there, she cannot come back. Not only can she not come back, but Chang Zhu and everyone in Mudanyuan can't come back either.
I asked the seventh elder why we treat the spirit girl like this. She said that this is the responsibility of the Chang family. If there is no spirit girl guarding the altar, everyone in the villa will be harmed by a strange force underground, especially the Chang family's woman, Wutong. This is the reason why the hospital owner is seriously ill.
As long as there is a spirit girl guarding the altar, this situation can be improved, otherwise everyone will suffer. But the price the spirit girl paid was her life and the lives of everyone in the courtyard. What was even more annoying was that such a heavy price could only keep the Villa stable for several decades. "
After speaking, she looked at Mo Xue. "What can you do about this? Let me tell you first, only the spirit girl can do this, and no one else can do it. There is no need to think about other people from the five races taking their place."
Mo Xue was silent for a while. "I see. Although I knew that Chang's daughter was born weak and sick, I didn't know that she was burdened by everyone in the villa."
"The seventh elder said it, and it's not for you. The reason why they have to face this problem is because the forbidden area of the goddess is there, and the people of the Chang family must always stay there and not go anywhere."
After saying that, Yue Qing looked at Chang Yuxiao. "Chang Yuxiao, do you know? My mother is also a woman of the Chang family. If she returns to the villa, she will also be affected by that power. Staying away from the villa will be a good thing for her. Do you think my mother knows this?"
San Yuxiao shook his head. "I have never heard her mention this matter. Since this matter involves Chang's secrets, I think she probably doesn't know about it."
Yue Qing nodded. "I think so too, and I think the seventh elder feels sorry for my mother. Although she has a bad temper and a bad tone, she really cares about the Chang clan.
I can feel that she is reluctant to part with Master Peony, but letting Master Peony guard the altar is the best way at the moment.
It won't work for people with too low abilities. The strong Wutong Master is weak, and then there's me. But the Seventh Elder said that I am Chang's hope, and it won't be my turn for anyone to guard it.
What do you think she hopes for? "
Yue Qing turned around and looked at the two of them.
Mo Xue said: "She is probably a goddess."
Yue Qing smiled helplessly, "But I don't want to be someone else's hope. What I want to do most now is to leave here and go home to live a normal life. The Seventh Elder said that as long as the goddess appears in the world, there will be no such thing as a spirit girl guarding the altar. Mo Xue, do you think I am responsible for this just because I am the person closest to the goddess?"
Mo Xue didn't answer her because he didn't know what words to use to comfort her this time.
Yueqing sighed again.
"I've said everything that needs to be said, so, I say. It's useless to tell you, and you don't have any way to solve this problem. Don't worry, what I'm best at is self-regulation, and it won't happen tomorrow anyway. Just think about what is going to happen."
Mo Xue nodded.
Yue Qing felt a little hungry after wandering around the river for a while.
Go back to the middle court and talk.
Qing'er scolded. "Miss has not eaten lunch, so there is no reason why she is not hungry. Deacon Shen should probably be worried now."
"I don't know what he prepared, but I don't want to eat those dishes today. I want to eat hot pot."
"What's hot pot?"
"Put all kinds of meat and vegetables into the pot and cook them all, and then everyone uses chopsticks to eat them. It is especially delicious with the sauce. Hey, Mo Xue, why don't we eat together in the middle courtyard today? Hot pot, this kind of thing needs more people to eat together to make it taste better."
"Okay, it's rare that Miss is interested."
"Yeah, Qing'er, let's go back quickly and tell Deacon Shen that we can all have hot pot together tonight."
"good."
The two of them returned to the courtyard and ate something casually. Yue Qing asked Deacon Shen to prepare materials and specifically told them to process the mushrooms collected on the hill.
Yue Qing also followed Deacon Shen to the kitchen with great interest, watching busyly.
Chang Yuxiao stood behind her. At this time, it was not obvious that she was worried about the Earth Meridian Altar.
After working hard for a while, I finally managed to get through it, so I asked Deacon Shen to quickly carry it to the middle courtyard.
Yue Qing asked Qing'er to greet everyone and come over.
Cai'er went to Mrs. Fu's courtyard to invite her, but she came back after a while and said she didn't want to go to such a noisy place. Yue Qing didn't force herself and had someone bring some to Madam.
Then he took everyone in the courtyard to the middle courtyard.
Several large tables had been set up in the open space in the middle courtyard. When Yue Qing came, she saw that everyone had already gathered.
Yue Ke was watching the hot pot when Yue Qing came over and said, "Miss, this way of eating is really unique. Put this dish raw and put it aside. It's a wonderful way to cook whatever you eat. And looking at it like this, many of the ingredients are delicious." Can rinse."
"Our place is very popular. Are all the people here? Why do I feel like there are a few missing?"
Qi Jiao said: "Chang Huai is still guarding the back hill, and Chang Bai is still in the front yard."
"Okay, I will send some to them later. Everyone, use your chopsticks and have a taste. We have worked hard for a long time."
As she spoke, Yue Qing picked up the chopsticks on the side, picked up a piece of mushroom and put it into her mouth. "Well, the mushrooms you pick yourself are indeed the most fragrant. Everyone, eat them quickly."
Everyone started to move their chopsticks.
Yue Qing watched everyone eating and sighed in her heart.
Qing'er was holding a small bowl and handed it to her: "Miss, Qing'er has clamped it for you. Miss, please stop clamping it, be careful of burning your hands."
Yue Qing looked at her and wanted to say that she had to pinch it herself to feel the fun, but she also meant well: "Thank you, but you also have to eat it. I feel it is fun to pinch it myself."
Cai'er said, "Miss, just be careful."
Yue Qing nodded: "Well, you should eat quickly."
Cai'er picked up the bowl.
Yue Qing was satisfied. Seeing that Chang Yuxiao hadn't eaten more than a few bites, she hurried over and gave him a lot.
"Shang Yuxiao, eat more quickly."
Chang Yuxiao looked at the bowl in his hand: "Thank you, miss. Please eat more, miss."
"Well, this meat is cut well. I've eaten a lot of it."
Yue Ke said: "It's a good cut. It's just that the weather is a bit hot. It would be better if it were done later."
"Yes, you're absolutely right, and it's best to eat this with a particularly delicious carbonated drink. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make it, otherwise it would be even more enjoyable."
"What is a carbonated drink?"
"It's a kind of bubbling water. It's very delicious and thirst-quenching. It tastes even better when chilled. Oh, by the way, there's also music."
"Music? Miss, do you want to play music during dinner?"
"You don't have to listen to it every time you eat. Some stores will play music. It makes you feel better and your appetite improves."
Mo Xue smiled and said, "It's already weird to have to stand while eating. I didn't expect to have to play music. It's really very different from here."
"We listen to music not only when we eat, but also when we sleep. It's called lullaby. We listen to it when we are tired, unhappy, and bored. In short, we can listen to music at any time. "
Mo Xue said: "Where can there be so many performers?"
"There is no need for anyone to play, just record it in advance and play it on mobile phones, stereos, and TVs. Those who listen to people playing are the things that the rich do."
"I see."
"By the way, have you brought my kite?"
Qing'er said: "I brought it and left it in the courtyard."
"Didn't I say that I can play it too? I haven't played it for you yet. I want you to listen to it today. Qing'er, help me get it."
Qing'er responded and went to get it.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yue Ke smiled and said, "I'm really lucky today. I can hear the music played by the young lady. It's a pity that Yue Chi is not here."
Yue Qing said: "I'm not a professional, I just learned some business skills and I don't play well. Just don't laugh at me."
Qi Jiao said: "Miss, don't worry, no one dares to laugh at you."
After a while, Qing'er came. Chang Shen had already set up a seat on one side, and Qing'er put the zheng on the table.
Yueqing quickly finished the contents of the bowl, handed the bowl to Cai'er, wiped her mouth and hands with the handkerchief Cai'er handed her, and sat in front of the zheng.
Seeing everyone's eyes turning over, he said, "You eat yours first, and I'll adjust it first. I haven't moved for a long time, and I've forgotten a little."
After saying that, Yueqing tried a few sounds and regained some feeling.
Then she played a cheerful song called Blue Bird, and everyone looked at her.
After the song, Yue Qing raised her head.
Yue Ke said for the first time: "Wonderful, this song is very wonderful."
Yue Qing said: "If you play well, you should applaud, like this." Then she took the lead in clapping.
Yue Ke was the first to react, applauding, and there was a burst of applause in the courtyard.
Yueqing stood in front of the kite and smiled stupidly.
