I was raised by the villain

Chapter 558 Snow of the Styx (35)

After Xuesi came to Minghe, she got a general understanding of the situation here after listening to her mother's explanation.

Most of the people in Styx have been farmers for generations, and they spend most of their time living in Styx, playing with flowers and plants, and growing things. The only cash crop that can be traded with the outside world is the Styx grass that grows next to Styx. You can get a lot of money selling it outside.

Because the Styx river is half a year dark and half a year day, and the underworld grass can only thrive in the dark, so the underworld people will plant the underworld grass during the night, cut the underworld grass during the day, and then send special envoys to go to the other side to enter the night. The hemisphere sells the underworld grass in exchange for some necessary money and items.

Because the Mingling tribe is immortal, they like to study some weird things very much. Sometimes they have nothing to do, and they will go to the next door to fight to see how everyone is practicing.

That's right, if it is said that the human race advocates the cultivation of light spiritual power, while the Mingling race advocates dark spiritual power.

However, almost all the people of the Mingling clan have their own powerful dark spiritual power from birth, they can travel freely in the underworld, and they also have a very strong self-protection ability, so they need a patriarch to control them, and generally In other words, the patriarch will be the most powerful and comprehensive person in the Hades clan.

To put it bluntly, he is the policeman who is the best at persuading and handling affairs.

Although the residents here are eccentric and even perverse and violent, and sometimes fight to relieve their violent temper, Xuesi feels strangely that the folk customs here are much simpler, at least compared with the weird and complicated human race.

Xue Si also found that it is very common to take in homeless orphans here, and generally after adopting a homeless child of the same family, everyone will basically take good care of him from the beginning to the end.

Xue Si asked Gong Qiang this question curiously, and Gong Qiang smiled and said, "Because there are very few descendants of the Underworld clan. If we don't adopt this child, what if our descendants die young?"

Xuesi: "Why?"

Gong Qiang: "The Mingling race is an immortal race. If the reproductive ability is good, then the entire Yiwo Star will become the Mingling race's world sooner or later, right?"

Xuesi: "That is to say, it is difficult for people from the Underworld to have children, right?"

Gong Qian: "You can put it this way. For example, if the pregnancy rate of the human race is one tenth, we are one percent. And it's not enough to be pregnant. We have to give birth to this child and let him live a healthy life. Years can be said to have truly reproduced an offspring."

Xuesi: "So the Mingling clan can't combine with people outside their own clan, right?"

Gong Qiang: "That's right, but there are still accidents, such as you, you are an accident."

Xue Si frowned: "It's not an accident, Si Si."

Gong Qiang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's not an accident. You can play around here first, I'm going to follow the Ming River to help cut the grass."

Xuesi: "Is mom going too?"

"Come to Styx, we are the Mingling tribe. As the adults of the Mingling tribe, of course we must perform the duties of the Mingling tribe. Of course, for you, you can only be regarded as a cub here."

Xuesi: "Is that so..."

Xuesi had no choice but to kick the stone and go out by herself.

The scenery near the Styx River is also very beautiful. Unlike the bustling market in Wangcheng, this place is full of local customs with exotic characteristics.

Large clusters of manjusawa are blooming on the roadside, and there are pearl webs spun from various spider silks. Although it looks a little creepy, but accompanied by the dark night and the blood moon, the picture is inexplicably harmonious.

The adults were all gathered by the Styx River, and they seemed to be preparing to go down the river to work and harvest the Styx grass. Xuesi observed it for a while, and then left bored.

As she walked, Xue Si saw a ragged boy squatting on the side of the road looking down at the ground.

His whole body was tattered, as if he had just been kicked out of the house, and he was very miserable from top to bottom.

Xue Si was a little curious, this boy didn't seem to be very old, and of course the possibility of him being an adult was not ruled out, so why did he squat on the side of the road and look devastated?

Xue Si thought for a while, and finally decided to trust the customs here, walked forward, bent down and greeted the boy kindly: "Hello, what's the matter with you, why are you squatting here?"

Hearing the voice, the boy raised his head with red eyes and looked at Xuesi.

After looking at her, he quickly lowered his head and said sullenly, "Don't talk to me."

Xuesi: "Why?"

Boy: "They all said that I was an ominous person who would only kill my parents and my adoptive parents, and that I was a lone star."

Xuesi: "...do you also believe in this kind of superstition?"

The boy seemed aggrieved and whimpered: "But what they said is right, I really don't deserve to have a home."

Xuesi was a little angry: "How can you say that you don't deserve to have a home? Home is what you strive for and create."

The boy glanced at Xuesi, with disdain on his face: "Naive, I really don't know where it came from."

Xue Si: "..." Silly and sweet?she? ? ?

Xue Si was a little restless.

She looked at the boy seriously, and tried her best to keep her good intentions: "I'm here to comfort you with good intentions, but if you don't accept it, it's fine. Is it really okay to let others down like this?"

The boy looked at her even more contemptuously, as if to say, "I didn't expect this idiot to be even more idiot".

Xuesi: "..." That's not her character design! ! !

Xuesi said angrily: "Then you go back with me, as long as you listen to me in everything and do everything according to my instructions, I will let you live in my house."

Boy: "I don't believe it."

Xuesi: "Believe it or not."

boy:"……"

Xuesi Yaoyao pointed to the black retro villa of the patriarch's house: "Here, that's my home. If you don't want to come here, don't come and drag it down. If you have time to pretend to be sad here, why not go out and find a job to support yourself."

The boy suddenly looked up at her, his eyes full of inquiry.

Xue Si: "...Why are you looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

The boy looked at her for a while, then suddenly said: "Are you the descendant of the patriarch?"

Xuesi: "I am Gong Xing's granddaughter, and my name is Xuesi."

Boy: "Is that Gong Xuesi?"

Xue Si frowned: "No, my name is Xue Si, and my surname is not Gong."

The boy also frowned: "People from the Mingling clan don't have the surname Gong yet, so what's your surname?"

Xuesi: "...does everyone have a surname?"

Boy: "Of course, this is a symbol of the family."
