After the wolf tribesman who sent the message left, the Tao tribe members continued to set up stalls until the afternoon, then packed up their bags and the things on the stalls and returned to Tao Village.

At this market, they bartered for a lot of daily necessities needed by the tribe. In addition, they also sold all the remaining pottery pots they brought, making a net profit of ten silver coins, which was definitely worth it.

This trip is over.

On the way back, two old men, Tao Man and Tao Wu, counted several silver coins back and forth several times, then put them into a small clay pot the size of a palm and sealed it. Then they counted hundreds of copper coins back and forth one by one.

After doing this several times, they put it into a larger clay pot and sealed it. After that, both of their faces were filled with joy.

Tao Man muttered: "Save all this money when we go back. Come to the city to buy more food before going back to the winter. This winter will be easier."

Tao Wu glanced at him and said, "Your plan is too early. You have to leave at least half of the money for me. It's almost the season for planting medicine. Next time I go to the market, I can buy more medicine that I can't find in the mountains.

Bring the seeds back and plant them. Otherwise, if someone in the village has an illness or something, what will happen if there is no medicine?"

Tao Man shook his head and laughed, "I'll do it, I'll do it all. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Xiao Xi this time."

As he said that, he turned around and glared at Tao Nan, "Look at yourself, you are not as sensible as the younger generation. Next time, you can't help us two old men take a look at the stall? I just went to fight with others, and I don't know why.

Earn some silver coins for the clan."

Tao Nan suddenly had a look of injustice on his face. He wasn't the one who caused the incident yesterday. Besides, wasn't there a fight?

Thinking of this, he changed the subject and said: "Dad, please don't just praise Xiao Xi. She is still young and should suffer more setbacks. Otherwise, it will be too smooth now and she will be too proud in the future."

"Hahaha, then you father and son should deal with it more fairly. No matter what, you should reward Xiao Xi with more gifts. Otherwise, if she makes us earn nine more silver coins in just half a day, let the old man of the Yue Clan know about it later.

He's coming here to poach someone. You know, when he first married his daughter, he was so angry." Tao Wu interjected.

When Tao Man heard this, his face suddenly turned upside down.

"Hmph! Don't tell me about that snobbish old man. How much effort did we, Tao Cun, make in order for Tao Sheng to marry his daughter? Then we said at that time that we would go back when the couple gave birth to their first daughter.

The Moon Clan goes to be a saint.

As a result, a hundred days after Xiao Xi was born, the little boy on the platform immediately became unhappy when he saw that she was not in good health. Since then, he has not seen Tao Sheng or Yue Ying, and they have not been allowed to go to Yueying.

clan.

Tell me, will we ever interact with this kind of family and this kind of tribe again? That is absolutely impossible!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and Tao Man's face became even more gloomy.

Tao Wu and Tao Nan, who were standing next to him, listened to him talking about the past and stopped saying a word.

After the donkey cart had been driving for a long time, Tao Wu began to explain: "It happened so long ago, why are you so angry? Isn't this just making yourself miserable?"

Tao Man also calmed down at this time, "No, didn't I feel sorry for Yue Ying? How could he have such a father? These days, every tribe among us will marry off their daughters, but he suddenly changed his mind. How could he have such a father?"

To charge more than a dozen gold coins is too much."

Tao Wu patted the old man on the shoulder, "Oh, okay, okay. Haven't Tao Sheng and his wife worked hard over the years and paid off the money that the village helped them collect several times? It's just that the platform is too much.

, as if he was afraid that his daughter and son-in-law would get in trouble with him, so he actually cut off the relationship directly. This is really..."

Tao Nan asked: "Uncle Wu, didn't the platform say that Yueying would no longer be allowed to contact them? It didn't say that it would sever ties, right?"

"Hmph! The old boy wouldn't say it publicly himself. He asked someone to tell him through a letter. After Yueying received the letter, she burst into tears. She was in confinement at the time, and it almost caused her eyesight problems."

Taowu had a lot of say in this matter. After all, he was responsible for all the illnesses of the villagers.

"So that's it. I didn't know about this before."

Tao Nan suddenly said again: "By the way, Dad, Uncle Wu, do you know that Xiao Xi used the talisman carving technique at the market yesterday to create a mantra talisman?"

Tao Man said in surprise: "What? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Tao Wu followed closely and said, "Yeah, I haven't heard anyone say that either!"

Hearing this, Tao Nan told the details of how Tao Xi rescued Tao Shi and others at the market yesterday.

"broken!"

"This is not going to be easy."

Tao Man and Tao Wu spoke one after another.

Tao Nan asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Tao Wu then explained: "The Yue Clan has a rule that a woman who can use the magic of talisman carving must be a saint in their clan. Even if there is already a saint, the original one must be abolished."

"Why is there such a rule?"

Tao Wu went on to explain, "Because the Yue Clan's talisman carving skills are not complete, but the Yue Clan wants to return to the glorious situation of their distant ancestors, so once there is hope, the Yue Clan will train them at all costs.

The descendants who know the art of talisman carving. What's more, at most they are just replacing the existing saints, and they won't suffer any big losses."

"I don't know when Xiao Xi learned the art of talisman carving. Tao Sheng didn't tell us earlier. If we had known earlier, we could have reminded her to pay attention."

Tao Nan also realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, "Dad, what should we do now? Xiao Xi used it at the market, and many tribesmen saw it at that time. Maybe some of them know the Yue tribe."

"Don't worry, isn't Wizard Hu the only one who recognized Xiao Xi's use of the Talisman Carving Technique at a glance? All we need to do is make him agree to help keep it secret. We can only leave the rest to fate."

Tao Wu shook his head after hearing this, "Even if Hu Caocao is the only one who recognizes this talisman carving technique, there are so many people in the market. If they can't keep it together, some people will go back to the clan to talk about it. If someone knows about this, tell the situation."

Once we say it, won’t everyone know about it? And the most terrible thing is, if someone deliberately sells the information to the Yue Clan, then... eh!"

Tao Man said: "Then our troops will be divided into two groups. I will take the rest back to the Tao tribe. Xiao Wu, you and Anan will send Xiao Xi and Xiao Shitou to the wolf tribe. Didn't they invite two children to play this morning?

? And Hu Caocao also went to the wolf clan with him. It just so happens that you know him, Awu, so you can tell him that this matter needs to be kept secret for the time being."

"No, this method doesn't work. Hu Caocao is not a person who can keep secrets. It's okay if we don't go over to talk to him. Once we go over to talk, something will happen if we don't do it. It's better to go back to the Tao clan first and meet Tao Sheng and Yue Ying.

Let’s discuss it later.” Taowu rejected his proposal outright.

Seeing that the two elders had different opinions, Tao Nan said, "Dad, Uncle Wu, why don't you ask Xiao Xi? That kid has his own ideas."

After a while, Tao Xi, who was admiring the scenery along the way on another donkey cart, heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was the old patriarch. She got out of the cart and went to the latter's cart.

"Grandpa Patriarch, do you have anything to do with me?"

Tao Man coughed lightly, then looked at Tao Wu to indicate to him that after all, the latter was more familiar with the child.

Tao Wu had no choice but to speak first and explain clearly to Tao Xi the hidden dangers of the talisman carving technique. However, after Tao Xi heard this, she immediately thought that her original mother Yue Ying had never told her about talisman carving.

Technique or something.

Only then did she realize that because she had been doing tasks smoothly, she had become arrogant and careless, and used the talismans in the market without careful consideration.

…

Thinking of this, she quickly asked the system administrator to find out if there were any special items sold in the mission mall and if there were any remedies.

After searching for a while, Xiao Fang said: "There is a product in the mission mall called 'Memory Beam' that costs five points. It allows the person related to the identity of the target person in the leading mission to possess a certain item.

Memory, no need to use, automatically effective after purchase."

"This price..." Tao Xi thought for a while, "How about we just give up on this mission..."

"If you give up the task, you may get more deductions. Let me take a look. If you give up the current task, you will be deducted sixteen vitality points, and then you will be banned from doing the task for one year. Dafang, are you sure?"

Tao Xi felt embarrassed, "Haha, can this mission be repeated?"

"Fifteen vitality points are needed to restart the mission, whether it is a leading or auxiliary mission. Hey, how about we buy a memory beam..."

After hearing what Xiao Fang said, Tao Xi felt heartbroken. The amnesia potion she bought at the end of the previous auxiliary mission only cost one vitality point, but this memory beam requires five vitality points. It is really expensive...

…

"Forget it, buy it!"

…

Her thoughts returned to reality, and Tao Xi quickly said: "Grandpa Wu, I have decided that we should go back to the clan first to let my parents know the situation, and then we will discuss countermeasures. Besides, people from the Yue clan may not be able to

What do you think of knowing that I know the art of talisman carving so quickly?"

When Tao Wu heard that her thoughts were consistent with his own, he looked at Tao Man and said, "Aman, the minority obeys the majority. Let's go back first."

In this way, the group finally rushed back to Taocun.

When they arrived in the village, it was already dark. Several villagers on night watch were already waiting for them in front of the village warehouse. All the daily necessities exchanged this time were put into the warehouse by several people. At the same time, several other villagers were responsible for making

The villagers who cooked the meal also reheated the rice that had been cooked in advance and brought it over.

A group of people who came back from the market had a meal in the stone hut next to the warehouse, and then returned to their homes.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Tao Man and Tao Wu visited Tao Xi's home, and then told the Tao family what happened at the market. Since it concerned the Yue Clan, the main purpose of their visit was to remind Yue Ying.

, and by the way, let’s understand what she means.

"Clan leader, Uncle Wu, Xiao Xi is from the Tao tribe, and the talisman carving technique she learned was taught to her by an immortal in a dream. She learned it on her own and has nothing to do with the Yue Clan. Moreover, the talisman carving technique of the Yue Clan

The inheritance is incomplete. Even if they want to learn Xiao Xi's method, they cannot learn it. Her talisman carving technique has been integrated with herself and has become her instinctive talent.

Therefore, if the Yue Clan comes to take away my daughter, I will definitely fight to the death. Besides, Xiao Xi staying in the Tao Clan will be a major strength of the Tao Clan. If she can use the talisman carving technique even more

Skilled, one person is worth thousands of people. I hope you can also think carefully, do we really want Xiao Xi to go to the Moon Clan?"

What Yue Ying said was a double entendre. It not only showed that she would not send her daughter to the Yue Clan, but also showed the importance of Xiao Xi to Tao Man.

Tao Xi was stunned as she listened. She didn't expect that her mother's eloquence was so good. What she didn't expect even more was that the "Memory Beam" bought from the mission mall was so effective that she even couldn't think of the source of how she learned the talismans.

alright.
