The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Six battles are called Gu worms.

Zhuge Liang fell ill when he came back from Pan Snake Valley.

Everyone said that the prime minister had a heart disease.

Because of this, everyone was not in the mood to care about Meng Huo. He was captured alive, but he still refused to accept it. Zhuge Liang lay on the sickbed and asked him: How many more deaths will he be willing to give up if he still refuses to admit defeat after several consecutive battles?

"If the Shu army didn't come to invade my territory, how could so many people die?"

"Our army came here to quell chaos, not to invade. This is the land of the Han Dynasty, not your private land. You don't belong to the enlightenment, you make yourself a king, and you use war without authorization to cause the lives and people to die. The Han army is not allowed to come here. How can you infringe on your territory? Besides, do you have faith? In the third year of Zhangwu, the first emperor led an army to conquer Wu, and never interfered in the affairs of the Southwest, but you took the opportunity to rebel, colluded with Yongkai and others, committed crimes in Yizhou County, killed Burned and looted countless people, how did those people die!"

"Prime Minister, why bother talking to him! Kill him, it's over!" Yang Yi's words resonated, and many people drew their swords.

"Presumptuous! Take them all back! Meng Huo, I don't kill you because I'm afraid of you. I'm afraid that if you die, there will be no more prestigious tribes in the southwest to clean up the aftermath. At that time, other tribes will fill your gap, and there will be another battle." Fighting, it is the border people who suffer. I also thought about replacing you with your younger brother, but I rule the world with filial piety, and I can't bear to separate brothers. So I keep you until today. I hope you can wake up and everyone is happy. If you don't repent, the next Once met, but never had a chance.”

Meng Huo snorted through his nostrils, and turned away not to listen.

"Let him go. Let him go back."

"Prime Minister..."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, as if he was very tired, everyone was more worried about her than Meng Huo, so they had to let Meng Huo go and let him go back.

Afterwards, Meng Huo was very quiet for a few days, probably including Yue Zhang's elite, and he had to spend a lot of time explaining.

But no one cared about his affairs anymore, because Zhuge Liang became more and more ill.

I often have headaches and abdominal pains, and I go to the medical officer, but I can't tell the reason.

Yang Yi was very worried, especially when Zhuge Liang had a headache and abdominal pain, he struggled to get up to review various documents, and he lost weight quickly.

"Prime Minister, let's see at another time."

"There will be other things in another day." Zhuge Liang rejected Yang Yi's kindness.

Yang Yi was in a hurry, if Zhuge Liang had an accident here, the consequences would not be as serious as usual.

But Zhuge Liang suddenly put down the bamboo slips: "Gongwei, where are the drums?"

"En?" Yang Yi was stunned, and listened for a long time, "No..."

"There are drums...is there anyone around here?"

"The spies released said that there are few people here..."

"But I did hear drums..."

"Prime Minister, I'll ask them to investigate."

"No, this drum sound is unusual, I'll go and see for myself." Zhuge Liang lifted the quilt and was about to get off the couch.

Yang Yi couldn't dissuade him, so he had to call someone in to help Zhuge Liang change his clothes, and then ordered someone to push the four-wheeled cart, and he came out with a team of elite soldiers to protect Zhuge Liang.

After walking not far, he saw a slit formed by two stones. Zhuge Liang said that the sound of the drum came from there.Yang Yi and others carefully pushed Zhuge Liang in, and were surprised to find that there really was a village here, which had never been reported before.This village is not big, but the smoke from the kitchen is curling up, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs are heard, and it looks very happy.

At the entrance of the village, a little girl was concentrating on beating the drums. There were two big drums in front of her. One was exquisitely crafted, and the other looked like a copy of the previous one. It was rough, but it was still similar in shape.The little girl knocked on the exquisite big drum first, then put her ear close to the drum and listened carefully, then knocked on the imitation drum again, and listened carefully, at the same time, she was still muttering: "It's not the same...why? no the same……"

Zhuge Liang laughed when he saw this little girl, but she looked about seven or eight years old, thinking that when Zhuge was seven or eight years old, she was almost the same, with watery almond-shaped eyes, which was very attractive.However, this little girl's dress is quite different from the outside world. She is not from the Central Plains at first glance, but she is also different from a tribe like Meng Huo.

"Master?" Zhuge Liang called out.

The little girl stopped her hands and looked up at her: "Are you...are you foreigners?" Before Zhuge Liang agreed, she suddenly jumped away with a "ah", "How did you come back here! How do you know this place! "

"Your drums... I hear you drumming..."

The little girl looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief: "Can you hear me beating the drum?"

"Well...we found it by following the sound of the drum."

"That's good, that's good! Since you can hear the drums, you must be able to tell me why the two drums have different sounds!" The little girl suddenly became happy, and she ran forward and pulled Zhuge Liang to see the two drums. With a drumbeat, the soldiers next to them clenched their knives tightly, and Zhuge Liang waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous.

Zhuge Liang was pulled to the front of the two drums, followed by Yang Yi and others.The little girl picked up the drumsticks and struck the delicate big drum with a high-pitched and long sound. Then she struck the imitation drum again, and the sound was not so beautiful.

"What's going on, what's going on? Why are they similar but different!"

Zhuge Liang thought of her experience of making bronze horns for Zhuge Jin, and felt a pang in her heart. She knelt down, looked at the two drums carefully, and tapped the drums with her fingers: "The imitation drum cavity is a bit small. It’s covered with ordinary cowhide, it’s thinner than the other drum’s skin, and the craftsmanship is not very good, so the cover is not tight enough.” After speaking, Zhuge Liang pulled the cowhide in two places and pulled it down hard, “Try again.”

The little girl tapped the drumstick in doubt, and the sound of the drum was much better than before.

"You are amazing! You can tell what needs to be changed after just one look! What's your name!"

Just as Zhuge Liang was about to answer, someone shouted from behind: "Ou Weng! You beat the Dragon King drum privately again!"

Everyone turned around to see a capable, fair young man looking at them with his hands behind his back.

The little girl was originally called Ou Weng. When she saw the man, she hurriedly hid the drumstick behind her back, and stuttered: "God... Son of God..."

The man had already walked up, glanced at everyone, and bowed his hands: "In Xiajinli, how many...are they from the Central Plains?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "Bucai's surname is Zhuge again, the single name is Liang, and the style name is Kongming."

Jin Li showed a look of surprise: "So it's Prime Minister Zhuge! Disrespect, disrespect! Please come to the house for tea."

Jin Li's place was very clean, and Yang Yi and the others didn't see any problem, so they followed in.Jin Li and Zhuge Liang made the preparations facing each other, and Ou Weng brought two cups of water soaked with green leaves, just like Zhuge Liang drank some bubble tea in this world, and it also had a fragrance.Ou Weng refused to leave after delivering the tea, so he sat beside him and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Oweng, don't go out yet."

Ou Weng looked at Zhuge Liang: "I want him to teach me how to make Dragon King drums..."

"Go out first, I have something to talk about here, I ask you to come in again."

Owen pouted and went out.

Jin Li began to talk about business: "The prime minister must have many things to ask, please allow me to answer them one by one."

"Please."

"This is the Miao village. We are Sanmiao people. I am the god son of this village, that is, divination and changing the fate of the people in the village. Ou Weng is my disciple. There are very few people in our village who can talk to the prime minister. At least, except for the two of us, there are only some old people."

Jin Li said it so easily, Yang Yi and the others were already speechless.

"The prime minister must be very strange. I know who you are, but you have never known the existence of my village. In fact, the reason is very simple. The stone gate that the prime minister entered has a mystery. We have been oppressed by the Menghuo clan all these years. In order to protect ourselves , I had to hide here, an expert did us a favor, tampered with Shimen, ordinary people don’t know we exist, and they can’t come in, but we can know what happened around us.”

"Since ordinary people can't get in, why can I get in?"

Jin Li said with a smile: "This is probably the so-called predestined relationship—the Prime Minister is familiar with the five elements and gossip, right? The same is true of that expert back then. He once said that this stone gate can stop Meng Huo, but it can't stop people in the same way." .”

"Then what happened to the Dragon King Drum?"

"Ah, that is the legend of our Sanmiao people. An ancestor once rescued an old dragon, who knew that it was a dragon king. After being rescued, he gave the ancestor many treasures in order to repay his kindness. The ancestor refused to take it. Miao people love musical instruments, so the Dragon King gave this drum as a gift. When it is struck, there is a sound of dragons singing and phoenixes whistling. Many craftsmen in our village tried to imitate this drum, but none of them succeeded. It is said that the drum surface His skin is dragon skin."

"I see."

"I heard that the prime minister is good at ingenuity, and we also know that the prime minister can make a wooden cow and a horse. I wonder if you can take us to make a dragon king?" Jin Li said half-jokingly.

"Presumptuous!" Yang Yi shouted.

Just as Zhuge Liang wanted to stop Yang Yi, she suddenly became dizzy. If she hadn't felt the aroma of the cup of tea in front of her, she would have fallen headfirst.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

Jin Li was taken aback: "Prime Minister, are you feeling well?"

Zhuge Liang felt his head start to hurt again: "It's okay, but I haven't been in good health recently, maybe I'm overworked. I feel better when I'm in your village."

Jin Li observed Zhuge Liang carefully, his expression suddenly became solemn, he reached out his hand to Zhuge Liang's forehead: "Prime Minister, forgive me for being rude."

Just as Yang Yi and the others were about to draw their swords, Jin Li stretched out his hand again, but his expression remained solemn: "Prime Minister, do you have a headache or abdominal pain these days, but the cause cannot be found?"

"Exactly. How do you know?"

Jin Li turned his head and called Ou Weng, and then explained to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, it's no wonder that the military doctor is incompetent, someone has tricked you."

Everyone was stunned, including Zhuge Liang.

Ou Weng came in, Jin Li said a few words that everyone didn't understand, O Weng ran over to look at Zhuge Liang carefully, then pointed to her left arm and said, "Here."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, and rolled up his sleeves to look, only to find a faint red circle behind his elbow.

"I've seen this Gu before. It was raised by the wizard next to Meng Huo. What did the prime minister do to offend him and make him release it?"

"I led the troops to put down the rebellion so far. Meng Huo was defeated several times. It is not surprising that his wizard vented his anger for him."

"Not really," Jin Li shook his head, "But forget it, it's not a big deal. This Gu worm is easy to get, and Meng Huo's sorcerer's tricks can't catch the eyes of us Sanmiao people. How about this, I let Oweng How about helping the Prime Minister get Gu, and the Prime Minister help us make Dragon King Drum?"

Zhuge Liang didn't expect Jin Li to say it so easily. Although modern Miao Jiang novels always mention voodoo, it's another matter to experience it personally.

Owen brought a box of sticky things with a strange smell, and a silver needle that was almost as long as a human forearm.She lit the contents of the box, first baked the silver needle several times, and then held the box to slowly smoke the red circle.

Yang Yi has never seen such a strange thing: "Prime Minister..."

"Gongwei, Mr. Jin has good intentions, don't be suspicious."

Jin Li laughed at the side: "My surname is not Jin...but this is the first time someone calls me 'Mr.'."

Ou Weng picked up the silver needle: "It will be a little painful... Uh, it is actually very painful, but if you use a mandala, the Gu worms will not be able to come out, so you can only bear it."

Before Zhuge Liang could say anything, the shining silver needle had already pierced in.

Zhuge Liang frowned, it was okay, not too painful, similar to modern injections.

But soon she knew what the little girl meant by "very painful" - the emotional prick was just the beginning, and then the needle slowly went deeper and deeper...

Yang Yi and others saw the cold sweat on Zhuge Liang's forehead and the expression of forbearance - many people felt that they were starting to hurt too...

"How deep do you need to pierce!" Someone saw that half of the needles hadn't gone in, and couldn't help shouting.

Jin Li took a sip of the tea, and smiled awkwardly: "At least two-thirds of the way in can find the Gu worms."

Zhuge Liang felt that he was about to pass out from the pain, but he was sober. Jin Li still explained: "Prime Minister, this is refreshing tea. Don't worry if you have this tea. Its aroma will keep you awake all the time." .”

"Don't talk, we're almost there." Oweng concentrated his attention, and after a while, the silver needle moved forward an inch as if it had been pierced suddenly.

"Found it!" With Owen's cheerful voice, the long needle was quickly drawn out, and everyone saw only a transparent thing stuck on the needle tip, and some thin thread-like tentacles were waving.

Ou Weng said "It's disgusting", while sticking the tip of the needle onto the flame, the Gu worm made a creaking sound and gradually turned white, and finally turned into a pile of white powder.

Yang Yi was most concerned about Zhuge Liang's situation: "Prime Minister, how is it?"

"It's much easier on me."

Ou Weng took out white cloth and herbs to bandage Zhuge Liang's wound: "This hand should not do heavy work or take a bath for the next few days."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face looked much better, everyone else heaved a sigh of relief.Zhuge Liang asked Jin Li to tell about the origin of this Gu worm.Jin Li sighed: "The origin? In fact, this is just the beginning, Prime Minister. We have just killed the Gu worms that others worked so hard to raise, how can the other party let it go? I guess, he became angry from embarrassment and released the most powerful Gu worms. Come out, the target is you, the prime minister in Miao Village."

"Don't you three Miao people still look down on Meng Huo's Gu worms? So what if he releases Gu worms, you will find a way to eliminate them." Yang Yi saw that Jin Li was already upset.

"There are exceptions to everything." Jin Li waved his hand, "Didn't I just say that the reason why we Sanmiao people avoid living here is because of Meng Huo's bullying. To put it bluntly, it is because of Meng Huo's wizard." ——He is called the Great God——there is the most powerful Gu worm in his hand, we have no way to deal with it, so we fled here and there.”

"What kind of Gu insect?"

"A kind of Gu worm that covers the sky and covers the earth. It turns into tens of thousands of worms. If it is touched by it, it will be poisoned and sleepy until death. Many people in our village died from this kind of worm. Later it was the expert He saved us, but he said that he can only let Meng Huo find us, and he can't eliminate these Gu insects, and these Gu insects must be left to the next person who is destined to deal with them."

Jin Li was smiling when he said this, but Zhuge Liang felt that he was smiling like a fox.

"Prime Minister, those Gu worms came to look for you, we caused ourselves a lot of trouble to save you, do you have the heart to see our village destroyed?"

Zhuge Liang moved his left arm: "I don't know how to destroy Gu insects, I haven't learned it before."

"It doesn't matter. Things like Gu art are similar. They all use manpower to control some Gu insects, and these Gu insects are artificially cultivated, not natural creatures in the world, so what they fear most is the power of nature." , the more natural the force, the better."

"for example."

"For example, the wind." Jin Li answered quickly, "I know the prime minister's 'heroic deeds' in Chibi, so it shouldn't be difficult to borrow the wind again, right?"

This is to drive ducks to the shelves, but cannibals are short-mouthed and soft-handed. Zhuge Liang said that I am not sure. Chibi was cooked by Zhou Dudu, and the southeast wind has nothing to do with me.

Finally, under Jinli's persuasive persuasion, in the courtyard of Jinli's house, Zhuge Liang still wore a crane cloak, held a mahogany sword, and took Tiangang steps.

"Om-"

Jin Li: Prime Minister, hurry up, Gu worms are here.

In the next second, everyone saw a terrifying scene: a purple-red cloud floated in the northern sky. Looking closely, the cloud was composed of countless strange-shaped flying purple-red bugs.

The fuchsia cloud soon drifted over.Everyone's heart is in the throat, and some people can even see the different mouthparts of the insects in the cloud, needle-like, knife-like, pincer-like, horn-like...

Owen shouted, "Quick—"

The worm was in front of him in an instant, and Zhuge Liang's Tiangang step finally caught up with the last step: "The wind is coming—"

woo-

It's really a face, after this wind passed, everyone dug themselves out of the ground: "Ahem... Prime Minister..."

Zhuge Liang stared blankly at the corpses of purple-red bugs piled up radially around their circle: "This trick is pretty easy to use."

Jin Li was very happy: "Of course. Taoism and our Sanmiao have joined forces, and there has never been a problem that cannot be solved."

"Will there be Gu worms coming?"

"Is Meng Huo there? Of course not." Jin Li said, "Because the person who used Gu is dead."

After removing the threat of Gu insects, Zhuge Liang stayed in Miao Village for one night. Jin Li summoned all the people in the village to entertain the group of people, and Yang Yi was sent back to deliver a letter to the generals to report their safety.A group of people enthusiastically asked Zhuge Liang to teach them how to make Dragon King drums, but Zhuge Liang helped them out, and every drum she taught was dubbed "Made by Kongming" in a wicked manner by Jinli.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but wonder if this guy also passed through?

Before leaving the next day, Zhuge Liang bid farewell to Jinli, but Jinli came to see her with two young girls of fifteen or sixteen: "The prime minister helped our village get rid of our serious troubles, and also made drums for us. There is nothing in return. The prime minister should take these two women away and stay with him to serve the prime minister."

Zhuge Liang took a look and saw that the two girls were very upright, not wearing Miao clothes, but changed into Han clothes, their eyes were bright, but their mouths were a little too big.

"No need, it's easy."

"The prime minister should take it with you. I know that before the prime minister left Chengdu, your majesty once offered to take concubines for the prime minister under the name of 'unending heir', but the prime minister declined. If you bring these two women back today, your majesty will never again Make this request."

Zhuge Liang's expression changed instantly: "What does this have to do with you!"

Jin Li clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The prime minister misunderstood! I am not asking the prime minister to accept these two as concubines, but they are indeed related to the prime minister's heirs. This is 'Song Zi Chan' and this is 'Song Nv Chan'. There are sons and daughters, they are just here to remind the prime minister, once the prime minister meets his children, they will disappear immediately." After finishing speaking, Jin Li snapped his fingers, and the two women disappeared instantly, only where they stood, There are two pieces of paper cut to look like frogs.

Jin Li snapped his fingers again, and the two women reappeared in place, looking at Zhuge Liang and smiling.Jin Li leaned over and said mysteriously: "Prime Minister, they are very good at taking care of people, and you don't need to spend money to support them. They also have one of the biggest benefits - where they are, the house will be very clean, and it is guaranteed No flies!"

Finally, Zhuge Liang took two big-mouthed maids named "Song Zi" and "Song Nu" and returned to the camp with everyone.

After resting for a few days, everyone challenged Meng Huo again in high spirits.

But unexpectedly, Meng Huo didn't come out at first, and then finally came out, but he was listless.

"Meng Huo, you have even used Gu worms, but you still can't win, it's time to admit defeat."

"Prime Minister, I know I'm not qualified, but I've been really restless these days, and I don't have time to think about surrendering, so I beg the Prime Minister to give me a few days!"

Seeing that Meng Huo didn't seem to be lying, Zhuge Liang thought that he didn't have any tricks now, so he let him do nothing for a few days.So Zhuge Liang didn't attack the stronghold, but sent people to closely monitor to prevent Meng Huo from sending people to ask for help-although he had no one to ask for.

But in the past few days, Zhuge Liang suddenly received a letter from Ma Di, saying that Lushui had suddenly risen sharply this autumn and had already drowned people. If the army did not withdraw, it might stay here for at least a month longer.

"Why did you come here?"

"Ma Canjun has always been concerned about the safety of the prime minister. Seeing that the prime minister has not returned for half a year, Ma Canjun asked His Majesty for an order and crossed Lushui to come to meet him."

"What's the matter with Lushui soaring?"

"It didn't happen in the past... It hasn't rained much this autumn, but the river has suddenly swelled and the waves are rough, and some people have already been swept away by the river... If this continues, people living by the river will have to evacuate..."

People's livelihood is a major issue, Zhuge Liang didn't care about Meng Huo, so he immediately led people back to Lushui.

Sure enough, Lushui was turbulent, like a roar, which was completely opposite to the calmness when Zhuge Liang passed here before.

"Is it raining upstream?"

Ma Di was here to welcome Zhuge Liang. Hearing Zhuge Liang's question, he quickly replied: "Sir, I have sent someone to check, and the report said that there has been no rain and drought, so the sudden increase in Lushui is very strange."

Someone nearby brought a local man who was trembling with fright: "Prime Minister! This man lives by the Lushui River, and he kept saying that it was caused by resentful spirits or something."

Zhuge Liang ordered people to let go of the local people: "You said there are resentful spirits?"

The local man did not understand Chinese, so a guide and translator next to him asked him in the local language, and then replied Zhuge Liang: "Yes, Prime Minister, he said that more than ten years ago, there were tribal melees here, and many people died, and that year was also autumn without rain. However, the river surged, flooding many houses along the river, causing countless casualties, and the water has not receded."

"How did the water recede afterwards?"

"He said that a wizard told them that it was the resentful souls in the river, and that the wrath of the resentful souls had to be sacrificed to appease the anger of the resentful souls. Moreover, the more people died, the more people had to be sacrificed!"

"Is it really sacrificed with life?"

"Yes, he said that several girls were sacrificed that year. Since then, it has become a habit. Every year, in order to protect safety, a girl is sacrificed in advance, so that Lushui will not skyrocket."

Before Zhuge Liang finished asking, someone beside him exclaimed: "There are people in the water!"

"Looks like a baby!"

"Fill it up and fish it up!"

I don’t know who wrapped a newborn baby girl in animal skins and put it in a wooden ladle. The wooden ladle rose and fell in the river. side, and then brought the baby girl to Zhuge Liang to see.

The face of the local man who said "life sacrifice" to Zhuge Liang turned pale.

"Prime Minister, he said that this baby girl is the birthday sacrifice for this year, but we snatched it back, and now the resentful souls in the river will be even more angry!"

Before he finished speaking, as if to prove this sentence, Lushui set off a wave as high as half a man.

"Prime Minister, if this continues, we will not be able to cross the Lu River!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Lushui, and turned around to Yang Yi for a long time before saying, "Gongwei, go and evacuate the people on the river bank, especially those downstream."

Yang Yi took the order.

"Xiao Chang, tell the kitchen to start the fire immediately, knead the dough, and make pasta. Make the pasta look like a human head, and fill it with meat. Make 49."

Although Ma Su didn't understand why, he obediently arranged it.

Zhuge Liang looked at the surging Lushui, thinking about the legends he knew.

pretty head.

Steamed bun.

The "barbarian head" made in the kitchen was still steaming, so it was placed beside Lushui.

Zhuge Liang wore his hair and held his sword, and recited a sacrificial oration.

"...Life and death are different paths, yin and yang are different paths. You have a spirit, and it will harm the innocent! Now, I will eat blood and offer a cup to sacrifice to you. The dead will have no worries! The living will have no suffering!..."

After the recitation, Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Su to throw all the pasta into Lushui.

Everyone watched and didn't dare to say more.But everyone is asking in their hearts: This is not to fool the resentful soul, okay?

Lu Shui accepted the food and immediately calmed down.It was unbelievably fast, and after half an hour, it was still calm.There was joy on everyone's face.

But at this moment, Lushui suddenly raised a wave again, this time the wave was as high as a person, rushing towards the shore with teeth and claws, causing everyone to retreat again and again in fright.

"Sure enough, you can't lie to the resentful soul! You see that the resentful soul is angry!"

"It's better to throw the baby girl back..."

"What's the use of throwing it back now! It's not easy to appease Lu Shui when he gets angry!"

"Yeah, there was resentment in the first place, and many people died in Pan Snake Valley! This is good..."

"We still have to use life sacrifices!"

Zhuge Liang stood closest to the river bank. When the waves came, she did not dodge or dodge. Naturally, she heard the soldiers' arguments.

On the contrary, she felt very peaceful in her heart and burned the sacrificial text.

"You want a life sacrifice, right..."

"Liang was ordered to quell the chaos for the sake of the country and society! He had to commit massacres, and he was guilty of it all! It has nothing to do with others! Don't hurt the innocent, Liang is willing to sacrifice his life to appease your resentment and anger!" Zhuge Liang shouted loudly at the Lushui River , and then put it into Lushui.

Ma Di was next to him, and he knew it was not good when he heard this. He stepped forward and hugged Zhuge Liang tightly: "Sir! Sir!"

"Youchang, don't stop me!"

"Sir!" Ma Su didn't dare to let go, so he knelt down like that, "Sir is Ji Han's prime minister, if Mr. is gone, what will Ji Han do? It's just a life sacrifice, and Su is willing to sacrifice on behalf of Mr.!"

As Ma Di said, he was about to jump into Lushui.

"Young Chang—"

At such a tense moment, suddenly, there was a loud cry from the baby: "Wow——"

Everyone followed the sound, and it turned out to be the baby girl who was rescued just now. She was crying loudly at this moment, and her voice was so loud that it seemed that the sound of Lushui's waves could be drowned out.

So he became dull for a few seconds before the people present realized that it wasn't the baby girl who was making too much noise, but Lu Shui, who miraculously calmed down, as if the roar just now didn't exist at all.

Someone brought the child over, Ma Su took it and handed it to Zhuge Liang: "Sir!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the child in disbelief.

"Whose child is this?"

No one answered.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"

The soldiers left on their own initiative, and Zhuge Liang discovered that it was Meng Huo who came.

"Meng Huo, why are you here?"

It was only when he got closer that he realized that there were unwiped tears on Meng Huo's face. This scene was really shocking. Who would have thought that a Chinese character with five big and three thick characters would cry?

Meng Huo put his hands on his chest and bowed to salute, then knelt down: "Prime Minister...this is...my daughter..."

Everyone was stunned.

"The sorcerer said that my daughter is a celestial girl, and I can't keep it. This time, the Lushui skyrocketed. After discussing with the tribe, they asked my newborn daughter to be sacrificed... saying that this would calm the Lushui..."

There must have been many shocking, painful, and helpless details omitted.

Zhuge Liang looked back at Lushui, and handed the baby girl to Meng Huo: "In that case, you can take her back. Lushui has recovered, and I don't think there will be any more trouble."

"No, no, no," Meng Huo waved his hands again and again. Although he was reluctant, he still refused, "There has always been a rule in our clan that if the child born is destined to be a heavenly being, the parents cannot raise it no matter what. It can be left to fend for itself and return to the sky in the end, otherwise, the whole tribe will have a catastrophe."

"This child no longer needs to be sacrificed, you can take her back."

"I can't take her back. The reason why I came here to meet the prime minister this time is to ask the prime minister for one thing: we are mortals, and we cannot raise heavenly girls. Today, the prime minister saved countless lives with the life sacrifice of the first generation of barbarians. , in our opinion, they are heavenly beings, and the soldiers led by the prime minister are heavenly soldiers. Then, it is the best result for the prime minister to bring the heavenly daughter back. This child will be the prime minister's daughter in the future. Please educate her well. , maybe we can let her come back here with the majesty of the emperor and help us."

Zhuge Liang couldn't explain to Meng Huo the concept of feudal superstition. The long-standing rules of the tribe may be unscientific, but they are not easy to break.

Besides, there are few feudal superstitions along the way.

Looking at Meng Huo's eyes that couldn't bear to give up and had to give up, Zhuge Liang finally nodded: "Okay, I will raise her up."

Meng Huo was relieved: "She will leave it to the Prime Minister." He carefully placed a red fruit carved with precious stones that he had always held in his palm into his daughter's hand.

Then, Meng Huo took a few steps back and prostrated himself on the ground again. This time it was a standard Han ritual: "Grand, Tianwei also, the southerners will not turn back!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly heard a slight "pop" sound, and when she turned her head, she saw that the place where "Nv Song" was standing was empty, and there was a piece of paper on the ground.

Kimley didn't lie to me.Zhuge Liang picked up the baby girl. She was tired from crying and was sucking her fingers.

"From now on... you will be called Guo, Zhuge Guo. Your character will be called Zheng Yin."

The author has something to say:

In fact, the author doesn't understand Gu at all, so this section is all nonsense.

However, the author has studied the names of the Miao nationality, and the names of Jinli and Oweng have been verified.

But God Son or something... This is really the experience of reading the BL novel "Miao Jiang Qi Qing"...

For the conclusion that Miao Village and Taoist priests have always been very close, please refer to "Those Years I Was a Taoist Priest", which is quite interesting.
