Chapter 245 Design (4)
The maid's scream swept through everyone's already gloomy hearts, which was tantamount to a thunderclap that made everyone's hearts tremble! Everyone couldn't hold back the panic and fear in their hearts, and couldn't help but stretch out their heads to check.
With just one glance, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath and be shocked.
Two centipedes actually crawled out of the peace fruit on the table in front of Qin Lan's tablet.
The two centipedes seemed to have broken out of the wall directly from the peace fruit, and were twisting and slowly crawling towards the offering table......
The centipede is one of the five poisons and is a great culprit. When a good sacrifice is made, there is such an unclean thing, so that how can the people not be surprised?
Feeling the two fierce lights from Lu's eyes, the maid came to her senses at this time. She hurriedly crawled and kowtowed to everyone: "The slave and maid are wrong! disturb the sacrifices of the masters, disturb the ancestors' meals, and disturb the slaves and maids...... The slave maid will get rid of the two poisons......"
The maid's face was already pale, and she was so frightened that she lost her face. At this time, he immediately ran outside and found a large cloth towel, ready to wrap the peace offering fruit and the centipede together.
There was already a burst of emptiness in everyone's hearts, how could such a strange thing happen to the ancestors today?
Everyone listened to it, the peace incense was invited by the Baiyun Temple, and there will be no mistake; the ancestral hall is the place where the family attaches the most importance to it, and someone is responsible for cleaning it every day, and it can be seen from the clean and dust-free table top and the ground that it is clean and tidy, where does the poison come from? The Ping'an offering fruit is also the largest, the best quality, and after careful selection, the fresh and shiny apples can be put on the table. How can a centipede crawl out?
In addition, today's ancestral hall was full of wind and cold air, and everyone couldn't help but secretly begin to wonder if something was wrong, whether it was something that offended the dead, and what kind of dissatisfaction did the ancestors have? That's what hints at them everywhere?
Everyone remained silent very tacitly, and such a quiet and oppressive atmosphere made the ancestral hall even more strange and weird.
The maid cautiously stepped forward to pinch the fruit of the centipede, but once again broke the gloomy dullness with a scream.
This made everyone's anxious hearts tremble and tremble again, and they beat twice faster in unison.
It turned out that when I picked up the peace fruit, there was a steady stream of ants crawling out of the two small holes on the back of the fruit that the poisonous insects broke through the wall...... Only then did the crowd realize it. There were already a lot of ants crawling in the fruit bowl on the table, but because the hole was on the back, everyone didn't find it.
Everyone was terrified. The fear in my heart also began to magnify.
This time, the Lu clan couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and came up to the maid is kick: "You! Don't you hurry up and clean up these dirty things! Who is in charge of sprinkling and sweeping this ancestral hall today, and he will go to Ronghui Hall to receive the punishment in a while!"
The maid watched as hundreds of ants were still swarming out. Where do you dare to step forward. For a moment, he was a little helpless and froze in place.
"Useless things!" Lu Shi motioned for two rough mothers-in-law to come in from outside to help, but he asked someone to stop them first.
"Grandmother, wait a minute!" it was the Seventh Master Shen Mohong who stopped the old lady from speaking. "Today's worship of ancestors was originally a big event, but it was also a good thing! But there were many strange signs, didn't grandmother think it was strange? The grandson thought hard for a long time, but until now he has not yet figured out the reason for this broken incense and the reason for this poisonous insect? Ants are one of the four pests, and this occurs at the same time. It's weird, could it be that the ancestors have some hints? According to the grandson, why don't you wait and see what the insects and ants say?"
Before Shen Mohong could refute this, the Lu clan came up with those uncles and said yes! This is no longer just a matter of the face of the Shen Mansion, but a problem related to the future of the Shen clan! What if this is really an early warning from the ancestors, what should they do if they accidentally annoy the ancestors by dealing with it?
Lu Shi sighed, and could only acquiesce.
And Xia Hongsu was still kneeling in place in a daze at the moment, it was so wrong! Why didn't these poisonous insects come early or late, but they came out when they were incense? Could it be that they were really calculated?
Dozens of pairs of eyes were fixed on the offering table, but the next scene still stunned everyone.
I saw that a large group of ants actually surrounded the two centipedes in the middle and besieged the two centipedes together.
Brother Na Hong even said with a head: "Ants are originally good things, never fight or grab, just silently take some scraps and burn cold, they are so weak, but they are never afraid of strong enemies, even if centipedes are so huge and so vicious, they never flinch......"
In the eyes of everyone, although the ants were small, they were helplessly numerous, and the momentum of swooping up first shocked the centipede. In the blink of an eye, the backs of the two centipedes were crawling with ants, and the latter was indomitable and worked together to bite the centipede. Soon, the two centipedes were lifeless, and they froze on the table.
On this day of ancestor worship, there was such a killing! In the eyes of everyone, this was a sign of a great murder and a catastrophe! Shen Mu and Lu Shi's faces suddenly faded with blood, and they became nervous and cramped.
But Brother Hong was still "muttering to himself", but what he said was exactly the opposite of what everyone thought in their hearts: "Good! Sure enough, this ant was able to defeat the poison in the end!"
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with a sparkling light, and he fixed his head towards Shen Mu: "Justice will prevail! This is a good sign! Father, son, does it seem that this group of ants is hinting to Shen Fu that no matter how poisonous things they encounter, no matter how great difficulties they encounter, as long as they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, they are not afraid of power, and work hard, they will win the final victory in the end?"
These words were like a beam of sunshine and a breeze, which suddenly drove away the depression and haze in Shen Mu's heart without a trace. At this moment, his son's words were just the solution to his urgent need, and he suddenly said that this bad omen was a good fortune.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Hong is very right! Ancestors bless, this is to give my Shen family a good omen! This group of ants was specially sent by the ancestors to warn us and wait! My Shen family will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties in the future and rise to the top! My Shen family will definitely shine on the lintel and glory on the ancestors!" Shen Mu laughed happily, and everyone was naturally relieved and convinced!
Shen Mu's brows relaxed: "Throw those two poisons out and burn them in a while! Since these ants are spiritual things sent by the ancestors, don't kill them, just lead the food out of the garden!"
But as soon as Shen Mu finished saying this, another exclamation pulled everyone's attention over!
