Good luck today

The corners of Su Shixia's lips twitched. She suddenly understood why her elder brother and sister-in-law had such an attitude towards Feng Jingzhao.

"If you ask me, Dad, you are just jealous of me. You are jealous that grandma treats me better than you..."

Feng Jingzhao was unconvinced and wanted to say something else, but Su Shixia walked up to him expressionlessly and covered his mouth with her hand.

"Okay, stop talking. If you keep talking like that, not only will your parents want to beat you up, but even I will have my fist hardened and want to give you a beating."

"Little aunt!"

Feng Jingzhao looked up at her with a hurt expression.

"We have gotten along so well all this time! Aunt, don't you love me the most? How could you bear to hit me!"

"Um……"

Su Shixia raised her hand and patted him on the head.

"Shut up and stop saying those irritating words. I can still continue to be a 'good aunt who won't hit you'."

While they were talking, Feng Qiyu sat quietly by the side and watched the show.

Hearing Su Shixia's words, he couldn't help but chuckled on the spot.

"Jing Zhao behaved very well along the way. I was wondering if he really grew up and changed his personality during the time I was away from Northern Frontier."

"I didn't expect it. It was because my eldest brother and his wife were not around that he was so reserved that he didn't reveal his true nature. Now that he's in front of my eldest brother and his wife, he's too lazy to pretend."

"What are you pretending for? Uncle, please don't slander me. Everything I say and do comes from my heart. It's my true nature, not fake at all!"

After yelling at Feng Qiyu, he immediately turned around and looked at Su Shixia pitifully.

"Aunt, you have to believe me!"

Su Shixia lowered her eyes and looked at him for a while, but finally did not speak. She just sighed softly, patted him on the head soothingly, then turned her head away and returned her attention to Feng Qian'an.

"Speaking of which, brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I heard from Jing Zhao that Mother is preparing to hold a sacrificial ceremony. She said that all the tribes in the northern border will send representatives. With so many people gathered together, it must be very busy, right? Is it okay for you not to stay with Mother to help?"

Although the other party was indeed her biological mother, the two had not met since she was born.

Su Shixia was so unfamiliar with this mother that every time she called her "mother", she felt a vague sense of awkwardness in her heart, and the words she said became less natural.

Feng Qian'an is a very perceptive person.

He easily heard the strangeness in Su Shixia's mood from the unnatural pauses in her words.

However, as a mature adult, he did not point this out at all. He just pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and continued to chat with Su Shixia very naturally.

"There are indeed a lot of people visiting our tribe recently."

Feng Qi'an said: "Before, your sister-in-law and I were indeed following mother to help."

"We came here this time because, on the one hand, we were worried about you and wanted to come and help you. On the other hand, this was also Mother's intention. She specifically asked us to come here."

"After all, this is your first time in Northern Xinjiang. You finally return home after so many years. If we let you walk home alone, wouldn't it seem that we are being too neglectful?"

Feng Qian'an looked at Su Shixia with a kind of tolerance and intimacy that only a brother could have.

"In fact, if possible, not only me, but our whole family would like to welcome you back home in a sedan chair, with lights and decorations, flowers and firecrackers scattered all the way. It would be best to let everyone know that our long-lost sister has finally been found." "Unfortunately, here in the northern border, not only is the environment harsh, but all kinds of supplies are also scarce. In addition, we are stuck at the juncture of the sacrificial ceremony. Even if we want to organize a grand event to welcome you back, we don't have the conditions for the time being."

Su Shixia imagined the overly lively and flashy welcome scene that Feng Qian'an described, and the expression on her face became very subtle.

Then Feng Qi'an said, "I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Only your sister-in-law and I will come to pick you up."

"It's ok."

Su Shixia said: "From Beijiang to Xiqi, and even Dongling, I have personally walked the road in between, and I know how difficult it is to travel."

"For so many years, you have never given up looking for me. Just for this reason, you have done well enough."

She didn't want to continue this sensational topic, and quickly changed the focus without leaving a trace and asked, "Speaking of which, brother and sister-in-law, come over here. Is everything okay with the sacrificial meeting?"

"Are you waiting to leave with us tomorrow, or...are you just here to pick me up, and you have to get back as soon as possible?"

"Since I'm here to pick you up, I naturally have to go with you."

Feng Qi'an said: "You don't have to worry too much about the sacrificial ceremony. Although there will be more people coming this time and the ceremony will be more grand than before, in the end, the main focus is still on the sacrifice."

"Mother presides over this kind of sacrifice almost every year. She is very experienced and this is not a difficult task for her. Even if your sister-in-law and I are not here, with the help of some of her trusted followers who have been trained over the years, there will definitely be no trouble."

"Your sister-in-law and I came here to inform you that you should not go back to the tribe first."

"what happened?"

As soon as Feng Qian'an said this, Feng Qiyu and Feng Jingzhao immediately raised their heads and looked at him nervously.

Feng Jingzhao asked very bluntly: "Dad, isn't there any problem in our tribe?"

"Don't think blindly."

Feng Qian'an glanced at Feng Jingzhao from the side.

"Can't you think of something positive? We have your grandmother guarding our tribe, so what kind of trouble can happen? If our tribe is really in chaos, the entire northern border will probably be in chaos."

Feng Jingzhao heard that his father was still in the mood to joke with him, and confirmed that there was indeed no problem in his tribe, so he finally put his heart at ease.

"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried that something had happened to my grandmother and you were trying to hide it from us."

"Shut up your crow mouth, you always think the worst."

Feng Qian'an glared at Feng Jingzhao unhappily.

Feeling that Su Shixia and Feng Qiyu were also looking at him nervously, he didn't want them to worry, so he immediately explained: "There is really no problem in our tribe."

"It's just that there are more people coming to this sacrificial meeting, so it's relatively messy."

Feng Qi'an asked, "Before, when the people of the Lanyan tribe suddenly disappeared, isn't there still a very clear explanation?"

"Mother is worried that if someone is behind this and deliberately harming people, then the person behind it must have evil intentions and big plans."

"She is worried that the mastermind behind the misfortunes of so many members of the Lanyan tribe is hiding among the people who came to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. If she leads all those people to our tribe, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house and inviting fire upon herself."

"So, after careful consideration, mother decided to change the venue of this sacrificial ceremony to a place slightly away from our tribe." (End of this chapter)
