33. The cowherd baby is in distress
It was nearly evening, the sunset was all over the sky, and even the magnificent fire clouds on the west hill seemed to burn from the sky to the ground, staging a spectacle of heavenly fire descending into the world.
"Burning clouds...... Think about it, what do you say after that break? ”
Han Jiujiu, who taught the little children to play a noon flute, couldn't hold it for a long time, and took the first step back to Sheji Yuanming in the name of going home for dinner.
The white fingers caress the water, and from a distance, it looks like a beautiful woman leaning on the white lotus, stirring a pool of rose-red wine, pure and bewildering.
"Hmm...... It seems to be ...... Can't go out with a morning fever, and burn the dead at night? Hey, that's a proverb! ”
Han Jiujiu touched his nose, smiled without the slightest embarrassment, his slender white fingers flickered in the pool, the ripples of the Dao Dao waved, and the water in the pool seemed to be given life, and suddenly burst out of the lotus pond, turning into a transparent water fish, shaking his head and tail, wandering around Han Jiujiu's body affectionately!
"Hee-hee, since the sun is so big, let's water the flowers and plants in the yard!"
The soft voice laughed, no matter what it meant that there was no incident, as soon as the words fell, I saw the slender white fingers, the pure white lotus platform trembled gently like a real lotus, and the transparent delicate fish were completely constructed of the pond water, like soldiers who heard the command...... Cough, cute thing, bobbing his head and tail jumped out of the water, wandering happily in the air, under the leadership of the first water fish, surrounding Han Jiujiu's body.
The sunset is like fire, the water fish is like a pearl, swaying and swinging, but also throwing out the misty water mist, refracting the colorful neon, in a cloud-like flowers and plants, surrounded by a goose yellow woman, beautiful like a fairyland!
"Go!"
Han Jiujiu scolded coquettishly, and the fish swam around scattered one after another, some large and some small, one by one swimming towards the flowers and plants rooted in this garden, and some of them also looked carefully, as if looking at the rigorous demeanor of the destination, and then finally satisfied, nodded, and did not wait for Han Jiujiu's order, sacrificed their bodies, and merged into this land, becoming the water that nourishes them.
Bathed in pure water vapor, some psychic spirit plants shook their branches and leaves happily, as if they were gluttonous, and those were just ordinary flowers and vegetables that Han Jiujiu brought back from others, such as pansies, plantains, sunflowers, and even loofah vines with yellow flowers on the walls...... also shows a different kind of freshness.
"Watering done!"
Han Jiujiu clapped his hands with satisfaction, and also recalled the experience of controlling the water fish, and said to himself: "The soaring divine power has to be slowly familiarized, and pick it up little by little, otherwise the foundation will definitely be unstable in the future...... Well, this is not a year, someone comes to worship the land? ”
Han Jiujiu was surprised, because her divine mind sensed that someone had come to the Land Temple where her idol was located with incense, candles, and paper money!
Looking at the sky that had been completely dark for some time, it seemed that her perception had taken a lot of time, Han Jiujiu pouted absently, the last thing the gods lacked was time! Then she turned all her eyes to the place where her idol was.
It was a grandmother-level figure, although her hair was not yet completely white, but her wrinkled skin had already exposed her age - Han Jiujiu's eyes scanned around through the statue, and no one followed, and this rather old grandmother climbed up to the land temple not too close to the village in this dark night with tribute paper money.
"Did something happen?" Han Jiujiu said secretly, because the Land Temple was renovated with electric lights, under the incandescent light, a pair of eyes that were still holding old tears clearly met Han Jiujiu's eyes!
The old body trembled and knelt down on a mat, and stacks of tributes were placed in front of the stage, and it could be seen that the tributes were prepared in a hurry, not to mention compared with the regular ceremony, that is, the pastries and fruits required when they came to worship casually on the fifteenth day of the new year were not ready!
There are three plates on the altar, a plate of white rice, a stack of brown sugar, and a plate of tofu that is simply home-made-well, this old lady is the grandmother who grinds tofu in the village, and her son accidentally fell off the mountain pass when he entered the mountain a few years ago, and then went like that, and the daughter-in-law later left a boy who was still nursing and ran to remarry.
That kid's name is Han Jiajun, now six years old, it was brought up by the old grandmother with the skill of grinding tofu, her lifeblood, and Han Jiumei's childhood sweetheart, and they herd cattle together in the morning......
"Is it ......?"
Han Jiujiu's heart chuckled, and he had some ominous premonitions.
Sure enough, after the old grandmother lit a stick of incense and inserted it, her tears were like a flood that opened the floodgates, and she smashed into the iron basin burning paper money, and she couldn't stop it!
"Land ...... Poor poor old woman, I ...... I grind tofu...... They are all in their eighties...... I haven't done anything bad, so why should I be retributed......"
"The old woman is just a baby...... At the age of forty, he went...... My daughter-in-law left as soon as she left, and I didn't embarrass others...... Leaving a baby can also continue the old man's incense...... How big is a milk doll, and I pull a handful of and pee...... Six-year-old...... I'm only six years old......"
"Herd a cow...... Why did you let people go...... The old woman has been found since four o'clock, and now she has searched the village and outside the village...... I fished all the fish ponds...... Nope...... Everyone in the village helped to find it, and they also found it in the mountains, and the cowherd baby said that they would not be together when they came back...... He rode his oxen first...... Where can you go on this bull ride...... Can't find it......"
"Land wife, I really can't help it...... Burn incense for you, kowtow to you, and help me find my Ah Jun...... Please help me find my family, Ah Jun! It's so dark in the mountains...... I always see Ah Jun crying! His father is also crying, blaming me for not taking good care of Ah Jun...... I can trade my life for it, please......"
Grandma Tofu is over eighty years old, she even lost several teeth, she was leaking wind when she spoke, she was crying, her babbling sentences were a little confused, and she kowtowed her head with a bang, Han Jiujiu wanted to stop her and was afraid of startling her, and she hurriedly listened for a long time before she figured out that it was Ah Jun, who was herding cattle with them at noon, who was lost!
Han Jiujiu's heart sank, and he hurriedly pointed to the old grandmother, who was already talking a little nonsense, and fell asleep, under the incandescent light, the wrinkled forehead was scarlet, and he didn't know when the blood came out!
"This ......"
The white nose is a little sour, the old grandmother has always been resolute, and she can raise a young grandson independently when her husband and son are mourned, if she is really desperate, she will not show such a look of "even the fish pond has been fished ......", Han Jiujiu didn't know how desperate it was.
Lightly applying herbs to the old grandmother, leaving a few traces of divine power to help her calm her mind, Han Jiujiu paused, stepped out of the land temple, and overlooked the whole village on the slopes of Cairo - a brightly lit place, and you can still hear the hustle and bustle of the village one after another from such a distance, it seems that it is really as the old grandmother said, the whole village has been mobilized to help find it!
Han Jiu thought about it for a long time, and took the lead in summoning a golden booklet, which was written "The Origin of the People of Yongshan Village", which was a small magic weapon that she refined in her free time, and it was not very powerful, but because it was integrated into the breath of all the villagers of Yongshan Village during the refining, it had the ability to monitor the breath of life of the villagers of Yongshan Village.
To put it simply, just like the book of life and death in the underworld, if someone dies, the name on it will be automatically ticked off, of course, it can only be displayed, and there is no other function, it can only be counted as a monitoring tool.
Han Jiujiu took a deep breath and said to the booklet with a solemn expression: "Yongshan Village, Han Jiajun." ”
As soon as the words fell, the booklet in her hand made a rattling sound, and the pages flew over, and suddenly stopped at the back page—
The slender white fingers smoothed the upright page, moved to the front, and scanned the line of sight: "Han ...... Family...... Handsome! ”
The elongated voice suddenly paused, and his finger pointed somewhere on the page, and his eyes lit up: "Found it!" ”
In the sixth line of the fourth row, the three words "Han Jiajun" fell there safely, and the delicate handwriting came from Han Jiujiu's hand, and there was no trace of being outlined.
"He's fine!"
Han Jiujiu said softly, and unconsciously let out a sigh, although life and death are fateful, but at that moment, Han Jiujiu didn't know how she should face the sleeping old man in the temple if there was really any misfortune......
"Fortunately ......"
patting his chest and relieving his nervousness for a while, Han Jiujiu said, "Then, let me see where you little guy ran to!" ”
If you don't go home after herding the cow, where did you run again! These bear children, I don't know if the family will be worried!
In the blink of an eye, a certain mother-in-law was furious, controlling her thoughts like water waves, and with her as the center, she rippled across the whole field - the land god is based on the land, and will naturally get a response from the land, and it is really suitable to find people, which is why Grandma Tofu will subconsciously come here when she is desperate.
However, today it seems that there is nothing but surprise......
"No?!"
Han Jiu was stunned for a long time, scanning every inch of land in his domain over and over again, but he just couldn't find any trace of Han Jiajun!
"Go see the crystal wall ......"
Han Jiujiu didn't give up, and remembered that Sheji Yuanmingzhong, the crystal wall that claimed to be able to see every inch of sand in the realm, was a treasure that was a few points more accurate than her divine search, and Han Jiujiu arrived in front of it in an instant.
"Show me Han Jiajun's location!"
A divine power entered it, and the crystal wall emitted a faint light, as if there were countless scenes changing in it, and it made people dizzy to see!
"What, it's not!"
After more than ten seconds, the crystal wall restored its original blue appearance, but there was no picture on it!
