Chapter 18 Worry
Chapter 18 Worry
"Your prototype was originally an epee. In order to integrate into human life without being discovered, you turned into a human form. Maybe your parents hid it too well, and you still don't know that you are a member of the Shengxi tribe. "The tree god continued to tell the fact that Cheng Xiuyuan felt sad.
"It turned out to be like this." No wonder the original owner didn't have this item in his memory, Cheng Xiuyuan calmed down and began to listen to the tree god seriously.
"If human beings want to exert the power of the Shengxi tribe, they must sign a contract with the Shengxi tribe." The tree god paused here.
"Sign the contract?" Cheng Xiuyuan couldn't help asking, seeing the tree god's hesitant appearance, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Seeing Cheng Xiuyuan eager to know, the tree god smiled.
"You're not going to like it that way."
Cheng Xiuyuan frowned: "Please speak directly."
He was in a very uneasy mood at this time, it couldn't be a blood sacrifice or something.
"If you want to sign a contract with the Shengxi tribe, you must perform the etiquette of Duke Zhou."
The gift of the Duke of Zhou!
If it was a bolt from the blue just now when he found out that he was a member of the Shengxi tribe, then this is the second thunderbolt now.
"Is there... is there no way to be more tactful?" Cheng Xiuyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
The tree god smiled and shook his head, the blue light on its body spread out because of its swing, very beautiful.
"There is only one way."
Cheng Xiuyuan fell into silence. He never expected that he would get such an answer when he entered the Lost Path Forest. What he has to do now is not to let others find out about it.I heard from Li Chang before that the captured members of the Sheng Xi clan were forcibly sent to the battlefield, and the bloodshed on the battlefield was not in the name of a hero, so he would not let the fact that he is a member of the Sheng Xi clan spread out.Otherwise, he was afraid that his end would be worse than dying in battle.
Similarly, he would not tell this matter to Mo Yunxuan who had been searching for the Shengxi people.He is just a little butler of his, if he finds out about this, he will definitely not let him go, because no one can resist the temptation of the Sheng Xi people, especially a man who yearns for power.
"Child, where to go, you can think for yourself!" After saying this, the tree god disappeared back to his original form.
The blue light floating in the sky began to drift towards the direction of the tree god, blending into the tree body, branches, and leaves, and disappeared.
The night sky darkened and fell from the sky like a huge net.
Cheng Xiuyuan sat down on the bare/exposed tree roots in a daze.
His mind was so messed up that he didn't know what to do. It turned out that when he traveled from the 21st century, he had to not only be a good housekeeper, but also be a member of the Shengxi tribe that everyone competed for.If it was just a housekeeper, he could still do his best with all his heart, but now, with the blood of the Sheng Xi clan flowing in his body, he could only choose to escape and hide in the world.
It's really a good reincarnation, who is the sky bypassing!
Cheng Xiuyuan covered his face in confusion, hiding all his expressions in the shadows.
By the time Cheng Xiuyuan came to his senses, it was already dawn.
The guards in the clearing also gradually woke up.
Cheng Xiuyuan stood up, dizzy for a while, but he soon got used to it.He glanced back at the big tree behind him, doubting the truth of last night for a moment in his heart, but just because he is still under the tree now, he can be sure that what happened last night is true.
He smiled wryly and walked towards Mo Yunxuan's tent.
At this time, he couldn't get himself into trouble, and he still had to behave as usual, so that no one could see the clues, especially in front of Mo Yunxuan.
Entering Mo Yunxuan's tent, he just got up, Cheng Xiuyuan took his clothes and helped him put them on.
When Cheng Xiuyuan was helping him button his buttons, Mo Yunxuan suddenly asked: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
As soon as he came in, he saw Cheng Xiuyuan's listless face and those scarlet bloodshot eyes.
"Ah?" Cheng Xiuyuan accidentally buckled the button, quickly unbuttoned it again, and tried to answer in a very calm tone, "I rarely sleep in the mountains, and I was bitten by mosquitoes last night, so Not in a good mood today."
Mo Yunxuan didn't ask any more questions, and got out of the tent after getting dressed, and Cheng Xiuyuan followed behind him.
Today's sun is much brighter than yesterday, and even the fog in the mountains has lightened a lot.
"Your Highness, please rinse your mouth."
Mo Yunxuan took the cup and rinsed his mouth, and then took the handkerchief Cheng Xiuyuan handed over to wash his face.
"Your Highness, shall we continue to search for members of the Shengxi tribe today?" Cheng Xiuyuan asked cautiously, for fear that his tone would make Mo Yunxuan suspicious.
"What do you think?" Mo Yunxuan felt that Cheng Xiuyuan's question was very inexplicable. Didn't he come to the Mijing Forest just to find the Shengxi tribe!
As soon as Cheng Xiuyuan asked, he regretted it, and it's no wonder that his master looked at him with a mentally retarded look.
"Morning, Your Highness!" Ji Houchen also woke up, with a monstrous appearance and a wicked smile, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a fox that has become a spirit.
"It's early, but I haven't had breakfast yet."
Faced with Ji Houchen's "enthusiastic" greeting, Mo Yunxuan seemed much colder.
"You didn't eat, and I didn't eat, why don't we eat together." Ji Houchen invited.
"Okay! Let's go together!" Then Pei Shang, who came over, accepted Ji Houchen's breakfast invitation. He looked at Mo Yunxuan and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go together?"
"Okay." Mo Yunxuan replied concisely.
At this time, several soldiers ran over and raised the things in their hands with great interest.
"Your Highness, the wild rabbits we caught early in the morning can eat some meat!"
Ji Houchen also thought it was very good: "The wild rabbit tastes good, and I can have an extra meal later."
The fire was ignited again in the clearing, and the soldiers quickly skinned and washed the hares, and then roasted them with a stick pierced to the bottom.
Mo Yunxuan, Pei Shang and Ji Houchen sat together, waiting for their subordinates to bring up the dry food.
Dry food is really just some simple bread and milk.
Cheng Xiuyuan stood behind Mo Yunxuan, his brows tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.
"Sleeping in the mountains is not as comfortable as at home. I lay in the tent for a long time before I fell asleep." Ji Houchen took a slice of whole wheat from the plate and ate a few mouthfuls with milk.
Pei Shang unbuttoned his collar: "You'll get used to it after staying a few more days."
"But this mountain is really not fun at all." Ji Houchen raised his eyebrows, and looked around, "If there are really people from the Shengxi tribe here, I don't know how they stayed here."
Hearing the word "Shengxi clansman", Cheng Xiuyuan was shocked all over, and withdrew all the panic in his eyes, for fear of being seen by some of these spirits.
Mo Yunxuan finished the milk in the cup, and Cheng Xiuyuan quickly handed over the handkerchief.
"I'm getting more and more envious of Your Highness, next time I'll bring a personal butler." Ji Houchen looked at Cheng Xiuyuan with her chin in her hands.
Mo Yunxuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief a few times, and said in a cold tone, "If you want to think about this, why don't you think about how to catch the Shengxi people."
"It's okay, I'll find it." Ji Houchen's eyes flashed.
It happened that the soldiers roasting the rabbit meat over there had finished roasting the hare, and they happily put the rabbit on a plate and served it up.
"Please taste it slowly!" After the soldiers finished speaking, they saluted respectfully and went down to share the rest of the rabbit meat.
"Try it!" Mo Yunxuan played tricks on Pei Shang and Ji Houchen, "Ji Shao, didn't you just keep clamoring for it?"
Ji Houchen was not too polite, picked a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"It's great to be able to eat this kind of rabbit meat in the wild. Those soldiers of yours are very skilled."
"Thanks to Ji Shao's compliment, they can open a restaurant when they go back." Mo Yunxuan tasted a few mouthfuls.
Pei Shang also stretched out his chopsticks to taste a little.
On the other hand, Cheng Xiuyuan looked as if he was conscientiously waiting for Mo Yunxuan's order, but in fact, he had been thinking about the fact that he was a member of the Shengxi tribe in his mind, and had already wandered into outer space.
After breakfast, everyone started to pack their things and prepare to set off again.
Standing under the big tree, Cheng Xiuyuan looked up at it, he was attracted by its blue light last night, that's why he learned that he is a member of the Shengxi tribe, it seemed that everything was arranged in the dark.Traveling from the 21st century, becoming Mo Yunxuan's housekeeper, and then entering the Lost Path Forest in order to find the Shengxi tribe, he couldn't predict what would happen next.
At this time, the sacred tree was no longer surrounded by the blue light from last night, and it lacked that sacred feeling, but he knew in his heart that it must be watching him silently.
"Why, are you interested in this tree?"
Cheng Xiuyuan turned around and saw Pei Shang.
"No, I just thought the tree was huge, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
"Indeed, I've never seen such a big tree." Pei Shang put his hands behind his back and looked up at the giant tree like Cheng Xiuyuan. "This tree is so big, it must have a spirit!"
"Everything has spirituality." Cheng Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"But why do you have to find someone from the Shengxi clan?" Cheng Xiuyuan murmured, with a hint of helplessness in his words.
"What were you talking about just now? I didn't hear clearly," Pei Shang vaguely heard what Cheng Xiu Yuan seemed to be saying.
Cheng Xiuyuan shook his head: "It's nothing, I was just wondering when we can find the Shengxi people."
He secretly sweated for himself, the man beside him had a keen sense of smell similar to that of Mo Yunxuan, and he couldn't take it lightly in front of him, it seemed that he should keep his mouth shut when he was absent-minded in the future.
Cheng Xiuyuan, who was standing with Pei Shang, didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at them not far away, extremely cold.
