Chapter 54: The Lu Family Banquet
"Let's go, we can't save people if the fire is under control. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Pei Shuo urged.
"What is that...... Yao said in a trembling voice, following her fingers, they looked over, and the courtyard shoveled up the soil on the spot and sprinkled it on the fire, and a dozen or so people shoveled it one by one, digging the pit very quickly.
However, this is not the point, under the light of the fire, the heat wave bakes the family nursing home sweat like rain, sweat wet clothes, and each shovel of dirt brought out, flying into the fire seems to have something strange.
She had a bad premonition.
As the pit was dug open, a small stiff hand was buried under the dirt, and its wrist hung down, as if it was inserted inside, and the white spot was faintly visible.
Pei Chong gritted his teeth: "It's just that the outsider dares to careless of human life, and there is no king's law, we will meet Pei Yang as soon as possible!"
He thought it was the Lu family who sent someone down at will, or something else, but what A-Yao was thinking about was what the girl in the wing room said to her, and the purpose of the original owner's escape.
Once she realized what this was, the visual impact of the moment made Ah Yao's stomach churn, and she turned around and retched, eager to vomit all the food in her stomach.
Time is pressing, and those poor children who are one step too late will become the bones of the pit in the dirt.
Ah Yao knew the severity, even if her stomach was uncomfortable, she forced herself to change her goal, but Pei Shuo's reaction made her heart skip a beat, and she secretly said that it was not good.
Pei Shuo looked at that side steadily, and the family over there was probably afraid that if he dug deeper, he would see a terrifying scene, so he hurriedly buried it, and continued to shovel soil and extinguish the fire in another place.
The bright light hit Pei Shuo's face was obscure, just like his heart, not confused, not too frightened, his eyes were burning, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was ...... It had already aroused his strong curiosity.
Ah Yao was uneasy, this was definitely not the reaction that a child should have.
Whether it's the fire, or the ...... in the earth, None of this is a good thing!
A-Yao rubbed her stomach to relieve the discomfort, stepped on the steps, stood on tiptoe to cover Pei Shuo's eyes, and said in a trembling voice, and her tone even carried a plea that she didn't notice: "Don't look at it, Pei Shuo, let's not look, don't think." ”
Well.
Pei Shuo snorted from his nose.
Ah Yao tried her best to calm herself, but the roots of her teeth trembled, and she couldn't speak: "How are we going to meet Pei Yang and them?" These beasts are holding a sacrifice ceremony in the front yard, counting the time and the time is up!"
Pei looked at Ah Yao, the little girl was unexpectedly calm, but the condition of the two children was obviously not suitable for staying in the Lu family, as time went by, who knew what terrifying things would emerge later, "...... I'll send a signal and ask Pei Yang to send you back to the inn, and we'll take care of the rest." ”
He took out the signal flare, Pei Shuo removed Ah Yao's hand from his eyes, held it tightly in his hand, and held Pei Chong with his other hand.
"No, let's go. ”
Pei Shuo ordered, his cold eyebrows overlapping with the majestic appearance of the founding marquis.
Pei wore a trance back to the time when they fought on horseback, and the barbarians were defeated, the sun was like blood outside the city wall, the enemy's military flag was folded on the battlefield, like rags covered with sand, and the vast Gobi Desert, the barbarians retreated.
Their general, Pei Shuo's father, the founding marquis Pei Zhengwen, also condensed his face and issued an order not to be disobeyed.
"Yes!" Pei wore the order and never mentioned going back to the inn.
"A-Yao, don't be afraid, we'll be fine. ”
The more Pei Shuo was comforted, the more uneasy A-Yao's heart became, it's okay if you don't mention it, why do you feel that there is a huge and glamorous banner slowly rising!
The front yard of the Lu family.
Behind the shadow wall, the offering table was set up, the jade pot was filled with wine, there were three wine glasses, and the incense burner had already been filled with incense, all of which were prayed for by the Lu family and their female dependents. The Taoist priest with a childish face holds a peachwood sword in his hand, and his fingers repeatedly rub the pattern of the sword body, and he is amazed, there is also a copper gourd-shaped alchemy furnace on the table, the Dan furnace can be hugged by two people, if you want to lift it, even if it is four strong men, each person carries a furnace leg, and he is full of strength, and he can't lift it up with a red face.
is such a heavyweight Dan furnace, but the Taoist priest can easily let him fly and obediently fall into the front yard.
When he first came, the Lu family was still skeptical, but he packed the ticket and said that he could pray for rain for them, which was heard by the magistrate of Jiangliu County, and the presiding officer of Renguang Temple, the village chief of Jiangcun and other four townships and eight counties affected by the drought came to watch the ceremony.
The eight mahogany carved doors of the hall are all open, and these people are in the hall to see the Taoist priest stepping on the gossip steps, the peach wood sword in his hand waving the tiger and the tiger, it doesn't take long for the wind to blow in the front yard, the wind rustles the leaves, and the dead leaves fly.
The wind and clouds are moving, and the light of the moon halo can no longer shine through the clouds with a hazy beauty. The moon was eclipsed, obscured by dark clouds.
"Look, the moon is blocked by dark clouds!" said one of the guests in surprise when he noticed that the dark clouds had gathered at some point, and the black pressure was gloomy and immediately rained.
"The Taoist is amazing. Several village chiefs gave thumbs up, their eyes swirling back and forth between the Taoist priest and the sky, and some of them stared at the sky expecting rain to come soon.
Hurry up and rain, in order to alleviate the drought these days, the water volume of the East Lake is not as good as before, the stream flowing out of the mountains is cut off, like Nanxun County can also rely on the water storage of the East Lake and the Nanxun River, but in the mountains, it will be tossed.
Lu Yuanwai listened to the compliments of the guests and was complacent.
The middle-aged monk sneered at the Taoist priest's actions, in his eyes the Taoist priest is a peer, but he is a poor scholar and a tenant farmer, and the Taoist priest is a squire who is more advanced than him, which is not as good as the Taoist priest.
On the other hand, Ah Yao and Pei Shuo successfully met Pei Bo.
They hid in the front yard not far from the wall of the lower room, the most dangerous place is the safest place, the dark shadow of the house, and the rockery not far away are convenient to cover their tracks, due to the large number of guests tonight, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Lu family sent out all the people who could be used, but the people who went to the human room were the least.
They briefly exchanged views.
Ah Yao said: "As far as I know, in addition to 15 pairs of boys and girls, there are also more than a dozen children who are a little older than Pei Shuo are also being locked up. ”
Pei Bu hastily drew a map on the ground with tree branches: "This is the distribution of seats in the front hall, the magistrate of Jiangliu County and the head catcher are also here, as well as the squire and village chief of several townships, they are all praying for the rain of that Taoist priest." ”
Pei Shuo thought for a while: "Since the county magistrate and the head catcher are all there, they don't have to run to the yamen to beat the drum, and the work of punishing evil and promoting good should be returned to them. ”
"What is the young master going to do?"
"We just mixed in, and by the way, I planned to stop the small fire, but I didn't expect it to attract the attention of here, this time I plan to make something big!"
