my queen is a man

Chapter 28 The Little Patriarch

I didn't eat the jerky anymore, but Li Keqing was eating it with relish.

After a while, the black-faced man who went to report the news came back and said to us: "The patriarch is here to welcome you."

Li Keqing was the first to jump up, fastened the remaining dried meat in the bag, returned it to someone else, clapped his hands and said: "Then quickly lead the way."

The black-faced man waved to Ji Yi, and Ji Yi handed over his hands and walked back the same way.

I stood up, gave Gu Yi a hand, and followed behind them.

Under the leadership of the black-faced man, we crossed a road full of weeds that cannot be called a road at all, and there is no trace of human activities around. Are they really taking us to meet the patriarch?Wouldn't it be to take us to an uninhabited place to destroy the corpses?

I tugged at Li Keqing's sleeve, and was about to quietly discuss with him the possibility of our being destroyed by humanity, but I didn't expect Li Keqing to speak first: "Don't open your mouth later."

"Huh? Oh, is this really the way to meet the patriarch?"

"Ah."

We stopped at the edge of a meadow, which was neatly manicured, occasionally with some gorgeous flowers, and in the middle of the meadow, irregular stones were piled into a weird shape.

I can't see what the stone represents, but is this the destination?What about people?What about the place where the tribe lives?Your patriarch will not be a polished commander, right?Haha, even if you are a polished commander, what about the commander?

"Please." The black-faced man raised his hand to lead the way.

Where can I ask for this?Is this an invisible palace?Thinking that I stretched out my hand and kept groping in mid-air.

I finally understood what it meant when I went home and couldn’t find the door. I really couldn’t figure it out.

"Underfoot."

Why?It was too late for me to react, and I fell to the ground with my feet empty.

Fortunately, there are steps under the hole covered by weeds. I fell a few steps and didn't roll too far.

"Ouch, hello, hello, I'm going!" I finally sat on the ground and stabilized my body. The passage in front of me was very empty, and the grass was just a layer of mud cover.

"Didn't you say that the road is under the grass!" I turned around and shouted at Gu Yi and the others who were following up.

Li Keqing waited for several Miao men to come down, and then followed. He laughed loudly and said, "Otherwise, where else? In the sky?"

I stood up and rubbed my sore buttocks, "How can anyone build their home underground? No light, no wonder they are so short. Plants need photosynthesis. If people don't bask in the sun, they can't absorb calcium. Calcium, do you understand? Who came up with the idea? Is your patriarch right? Tell your patriarch well, your genetic inheritance is not conducive to future generations, and will make your people grow shorter and shorter, longer and shorter, and longer ...the more...Of course, being short is king, and being concentrated is the essence!"

I keenly sensed that the atmosphere around me was not right, so I quickly changed my words.

A Miao man took a torch from the wall, lit it, walked in front of me, and gave me an impolite kick as he passed me.

Oh, I'm going, so I can't listen to suggestions and teachings?I really don't have the spirit and mind to accept good advice, and I don't have the demeanor of a big family at all.

We walked down the stairs, and several times in the middle, there was a way ahead but we didn't go.The person leading the way pressed a button on the wall, and the stone path rattled and changed direction.

Finally we've come to the end of this dead end, wait!Dead end?Ahead is a wall!

The person who led the way inserted the torch into the groove on the wall, turned to look at me, and the expression on his face was that he wanted me to look good.

I am also drunk, I can understand your cunning and vicious expression now, but what does your proud and ostentatious expression mean? !

He pressed one hand on the wall and pushed it, and the wall turned over, and at the same time bright light shone through.

This, this is?We have been going deep underground, absolutely no mistake, is this the underground world?What is lighting?

I stepped into the space behind the wall, there is a stockade, there is a gurgling river, the surface of the river is sparkling, dense forests and vines, there are actually parrots and birds, have we entered a fairyland?

The laughter of young children came from the riverside. In the yard, a woman was sitting and sewing. When she heard someone coming, she looked up at us, smiled and then lowered her head to go about her own business.

There are no dark corners in this space, everything is exposed to bright and soft light.Where is this light coming from?This kind of brightness will not be emitted by small objects.After a long time of exposure to the body, there is still a warm and comfortable feeling. This is the light of the sun. How can there be sunshine here, and it is so bright?

They stole a sun from when Hou Yi shot it?They made a sun themselves?My brain hole is getting bigger and bigger, by the way, where is the sun?At such a close distance, if it was the sun, it should be scorched.

The person who led the way was very satisfied with the expression on my face and my mouth that couldn't close, and asked, "How is it? Is it better than the ground?"

"Hey, what's going on here? Why is there sunshine?"

"This is designed by our patriarch."

"Then you must have spent a lot of time building this underground world, right?"

"It took three years from the start of the construction to the complete completion." The leader sighed.

"Three years?" That's already very short. Well, personally speaking, the wisdom and prestige required to design, build and maintain this underground world are immeasurable. , full of admiration, please allow me to say sincerely: God, please accept my 100-year-old knee!

"Please." The guide raised his hand.

We walked to a building made of stones. Most of the other houses in the village were made of wood or bamboo, but this one was the only one that was two stories high and looked like a temple.

We waited outside the door, the guide and the black-faced man went in first, and soon the black-faced man came out and said, "Come in."

After passing through the checkpoints, I will feel a little nervous. I don't know what kind of person this patriarch is, a big man with a beard and beard who looks like Zhong Kui?

No, no, no, I must be too naive. Think about those lost civilizations and time-dated cultures. Nine out of ten are related to aliens. I will see big eyes and wear spacesuits later. aliens, right?

Li Keqing is good at fighting monsters, but not aliens. Science is the hardware indicator.

Why!alien!Then his technology can definitely bring us back to modern times!

Thinking of me, I am so happy that I want to fly, and I can't wait to meet this great patriarch!

We walked to the hall, which was very poorly furnished, facing a high-backed chair with three seats on each side.

The wall behind the main seat is carved with a hollow pattern, and the light shines in from the outside, reflecting the shape of a five-pointed star on the ground.

The light in the hall is not very bright. There are two small windows near the entrance door on both sides of the wall. There is no one in the hall except us. Where is the patriarch?Still put on airs and make us wait?

"You -- are the Li family?" A drawn-out voice came from the direction of the chief seat.

I was scared, there was obviously no one there.

A small figure stood up from the main seat and slowly approached us.

It turned out that there was someone in the main seat, but I couldn't see it from the backlight for a moment. The person was dressed in all black shorts and trousers. He was very short and had a delicate figure. It was obviously a girl.

"Yes." Li Keqing stood in front of us and asked in response, "May I ask your Excellency?"

"Ask who I am? Hey, aren't you looking for me? Why do you ask me who I am instead?"

Let me go, this girl who is only 1.5 meters is the patriarch?What about aliens?You don't play cards according to common sense!What's the matter, he should be as mature and steady as the head of the Li family, right?What's the matter with this coquettish and coquettish tone?Did you get the position of patriarch because of your cuteness?

And with this height, is it true that all big killers are destined to be dwarfs?

What the hell did I say, don't live underground!look!Really short!The father is short and the patriarch is short.

The girl got closer and closer, her face gradually became clearer, with a sharp chin, a small cherry mouth, and thin lips, deep in people's hearts.The upside-down sword eyebrows and big eyes are pretty, but there is a bit of chilling viciousness.

Looking like this, she is still a Miao girl, and beauty is beautiful, but Jubi is a ruthless character, I couldn't help but take a step back.

She raised her eyebrows with interest, tilted her head to look at me, and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

ask me?Damn, should I answer that I am afraid or not!

"I……"

"Huh? Answer me quickly."

I go!What is the standard answer?I have a premonition that if I answer wrong, I will die!

"Are you—" Li Keqing asked hesitantly, "Little Yu'er?"

Xiao Yuer, poof, where are you, Hua Wuque?

The girl paused there, looked Li Keqing up and down a few times, and then said, "Brother Keqing?"

Pfft, the story that Xiao Yuer and Brother Jing had to tell, hahaha, who will save my laughing point.

Li Keqing smiled and touched Ji Yu's head, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Xiao Yu'er has grown up, how did you become the patriarch?"

Hahaha, can you stop mentioning Xiaoyuer?

"It's been more than ten years!" Ji Yujiao said angrily.

"Yes, where is the old patriarch?"

"You don't want to know, but brother Qing, don't ask, let's talk about the purpose of your visit this time."

"Ah, that's right." Li Keqing pulled Gu Yi out, "He was poisoned by the witch snake. We wanted to ask the old patriarch to help detoxify him. Now that the old patriarch is gone, do I have to ask for your help?"

Ji Yu tilted his head and asked curiously: "Witch Snake? Where did you meet the Witch Snake?"

"It's a long story. His poison has been there for some time. Can you detoxify first and then talk about it in detail?"

"This—" Ji Yu turned around as he spoke, and took a few steps slowly, "Why should I help him detoxify?"

Let me go, you brothers and sisters shouted so affectionately just now, you still need to negotiate terms? !

"Little Yu'er, I will exchange something with you."

"what?"

"A Nuo ghost."

Ji Yu's face was startled, and he finally got serious, saying, "Nuo ghost? You caught Nuo ghost? Where is it?"

I glared at Li Keqing, isn't this guy trying to kill me? !

"You saved him, I promise to hand over the Nuo ghost to you."

Ji Yu rolled his eyeballs, I was most afraid of seeing a woman with this look, nine out of ten I didn't have a good plan.
