India

Of course, the reason why Mo Nan came out was not any internal urgency, he just wanted to play with Ji Gui. Let's take a look at his few embarrassing moments, such moments are simply too rare.

He walked into the courtyard, no longer trying to hold back his laughter, let out a loud laugh for a while, then straightened his face with unfinished intentions, and then pondered whether to go back.

The girl named Su Liyan seemed quite happy, and there were many old things that she wanted to communicate with Ji Guiran at first glance, and Ji Guiran, Mo Nan could think of it when she moved her toes. He doesn't even know the accounts of Ji Yiran, so he still wants to know about Ji Yiran?

Just thinking about this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, Ji Guiran's current situation appeared in his mind, he must be sitting on his seat with a stern face and frowning, with cold sweat on his forehead thinking about the corresponding words, The tone he spoke was also stiff, and I don't know if the girl would think he was finding fault.

After imagining enough, he stopped smiling, and then decided to let the season go.It's really not easy for this guy, I still have to ask the young master to save you.

He was about to leave the courtyard and go into the house, but he bumped into Mrs. Zhang who came out from another room.

"Why did you come out?" Mrs. Zhang looked at him and asked in surprise, "Could it be that it's because of the unhappiness with Li Yan?"

"No, no, no... just come out to breathe a little..." Mo Nan found a reason to fool him, and then his eyes fell on the things in Mrs. Zhang's hand, a touch of red caught his attention, he Can't help but ask curiously, "Sister-in-law Zhang, what are you holding?"

Mrs. Zhang didn't hide anything when she saw him asking, she generously showed him the item in her hand, it was a light red dancing fan, and she held a long sword of the same color in her other hand, which was bright and seductive. The color of the person seems to be a bit out of tune with the surrounding environment, but it is exactly the same as the temperament of the snake god in the temple.

Seeing Mo Nan staring at them intently, Mrs. Zhang explained: "This is something used for sacrificial dances during our grand ceremony. Have you heard what people in the village have said? About our customs here."

"I've heard of this, but why do you have Mrs. Zhang..." Asked what Mo Nan thought, "I see, it seems that the person said before that one person should be selected to be in charge of this sacrificial dance every year, could it be This year is Mrs. Zhang, you?"

Auntie Zhang nodded: "Oh, you guessed right, it's my turn this year. According to the usual practice, in the past years, the same family wouldn't have the same turn twice in a row. It's said that this is unlucky, but..." She wanted to Stop talking.

"only?"

After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Zhang continued: "...just last year, you know, because my husband's disappearance was widely known in the village, and all kinds of theories were spread by everyone. What kind of snake god eats people? , Snake gods are angry and bring disasters and so on. Although I later denied their rumors, there are always some people who don't believe it... So they don't want to be selected, and every family is panicked. There is no way but to let me coming……"

Mo Nan listened to the cause and effect in a daze. He had very little experience with natural disasters and man-made disasters. He didn't fully understand the customs here, but he could vaguely feel that for this self-reliant country, there seemed to be nothing. More important than good weather.

Seeing Mo Nan's half-understanding look, Mrs. Zhang smiled helplessly, and then said, "It's a bit difficult to understand. Regarding this, you people from other countries can't fully understand it. If I'm not wrong... You and the other son are from Ye Kingdom, right?"

"Yes, how did Mrs. Zhang know?"

"It's guesswork," she said with a smile, "It's probably based on the temperament of the two of you, especially you, young master... Although I'm a little late, what is the name of the young master?"

"In Xia Mo Nan, the guy who doesn't look like a good guy is called Ji Guiran."

"I see, Mr. Ji, I don't really see it, but Mr. Mo, you have a kind of temperament, like the young master from a rich family...Of course it's just my guess. If it's not the case, please don't take it, Mr. Mo." Blame."

"No! Your guess is too correct," Mo Nan said with an expression of "you have discovered this", "Sister-in-law Zhang, you have really good eyesight!"

"Instead of saying that I have good eyesight, it's better to say that Mr. Mo is pure in nature and easy to see through... To tell you the truth, I am not from Anguo. I came from Yeguo a few years ago."

"Hey?" Mo Nan was surprised, "Isn't that the same as Miss Su?"

Mrs. Zhang was also surprised when she heard the words: "You know?"

"Well... she just told us..."

"That's it..." Mrs. Zhang murmured, and then looked at Mo Nan's expression and became a little embarrassed, "Then Mr. Mo should know why we came here... What I said to you just now is not true. What other meanings, please don't think about it too much..."

"Ah?" Mo Nan didn't understand the situation for a while, "What?"

"It's nothing." Seeing that he didn't understand, and Mrs. Zhang didn't plan to point it out, she said again, "I'm a little curious...how could this child Li Yan talk about his life experience with you?"

"It seems to be because Miss Su knew Ji Yiran, Ji Guiran's younger sister, and they started talking about it..." Then she ran out in a bad manner.Of course, Mo Nan didn't say the second half of the sentence.

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang looked a little surprised, and then gradually became happy: "This... this is such a coincidence, then Li Yan should be very happy, no wonder."

"She was really happy."

"That's great..." After she finished sighing, she smiled helplessly, "Oh, Li Yan also has a hard life... I met her in a family, and I saw that she was obedient and obedient since she was a child, and she never competed with others What, I never even quarreled with the servant girls in the mansion, what a pity... just because of this character, I was killed by people with bad intentions..."

"It's not a big harm, it's just that I was planted and framed, but it still made the master unhappy. I just sent a little bit of silver and was swept out... I was also very angry. I said a few words for her, but I was left behind." The same ending, now that I think about it, I still feel a little wronged, alas."

"I...I feel unwilling for you too..." Mo Nan replied after listening.

However, as the eldest young master of the Mo family, he doesn't understand the situation of these lower class people. He doesn't know if the servant girls around him come and go every day. Interested to learn more, after all, it will not affect his daily life.

Hearing what Mrs. Zhang said now, his views on those people are a bit more complicated. It seems that there are many hidden secrets behind many things.

"It's not reconciled to anything. After so many years, it's all dissipated. Besides, life in Anguo is pretty good. If it wasn't for what happened last year..." She suddenly regained her senses, "Hey, I seem to have accidentally said There are too many... Mr. Mo, please don't take offense."

"will not."

"I just wanted to say that Li Yan doesn't have any big hurdles in her heart. Probably the only thing she feels guilty about is what she said to Miss Ji Yiran when she was in Yeguo," she sighed. She should be able to relieve a lot of her relatives, presumably God still has mercy on her."

"Yes, she must have had a pleasant conversation with Ji Guiran now." Of course, the latter doesn't know if he feels happy.

After finishing speaking, Mo Nan suddenly didn't want to go back again. For some reason, being caught between a girl who reunited with an old friend and a so-called old friend, he always felt that he was like the extra person, which was unexpectedly a little embarrassing.

So he turned his eyes back to the things in Mrs. Zhang's hand, trying to find some topics.He asked curiously, "By the way, Mrs. Zhang, can I have a look at those things?"

"This..." Mrs. Zhang showed embarrassment, "According to the custom, these items cannot be given to other people... It is said that it may affect its spiritual power... But it is not a dead rule. If Mr. Mo think……"

"It's okay, I'm just curious... I don't have to show it..." Mo Nan just wanted to find something to do, and didn't want to force Mrs. Zhang to make any concessions. He said, "Then... let me ask Sister-in-law Zhang, did you have to accept this entrustment?"

Auntie Zhang unconsciously clenched the sword fan in her hand, and said awkwardly, "To be honest...it's really imperative."

Mo Nan saw that her face was slightly pale, and a little bit of fear emerged. He thought of something, and asked tentatively: "...Then what if, after you danced to the snake god this year, will you be happy?" Also like your husband...?"

"..."

His question seemed to be right on point, Mrs. Zhang's frightened expression became more and more obvious, she tried to calm herself down a bit, and after a long while she collected herself, she slowly opened her mouth to answer him.

"That's... there is no other way..." Her tone was full of helplessness.

Seeing that she was so afraid of this matter, Mo Nan couldn't help but said, "Really can't change?"

"It's okay to change," Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "but who can I change? The rumors that the snake god is going to eat people have spread so far, and the people in the village have no time to protect themselves, so how can they care about me?" What about people from other places?"

"..."

"Actually... I don't blame them for their attitude. I can understand... After all, most of the people in Anguo live in peace and contentment. For them, a peaceful and peaceful life is what they pursue. They didn't treat us as aliens. I have already I'm very grateful..." She smiled, "It's also very good, maybe I can meet my husband, and you may find the snake you are looking for? It may not be a bad thing..."

Her self-comforting words made Mo Nan's heart tremble.He pondered for a while, then said cautiously: "Then, must the people presenting this dance be from the village?"

"There is no rule about it. Every year, the people are determined by Fei Po, as long as she says yes... But, what does the young master mean by asking?" Mrs. Zhang looked at him suspiciously.

"Then can I do it instead?" Mo Nan blurted out.

"..."
