9. Fire fighting
The old nuns and female disciples who came to put out the fire were stunned when they saw Mingyue, and Mingyue calmly pointed to the burning house, "Put out the fire first." ”
In the face of the fire, Mingyue's calm temperament made people involuntarily trust, so everyone rushed forward and began to extinguish the fire, and the two old nuns tied together were blocked on the way to fight the fire, and were unceremoniously kicked aside.
Although they were very strange about Mingyue and the others, they couldn't worry about the fire, because all the houses were wooden ridge structures, and if a house fire was not extinguished in time, all the houses would be burned to the ground together in the blink of an eye.
Jing Yue stepped forward to untie the clothes that bound the two old nuns, Jing An was still thinking about her box, which was her savings for many years, but fortunately, Jing Xin was still a little sensible, and she slipped away as if she was pulling Jing An Fei.
Seeing that Jing'an was in such a hurry, Rob had already held the box firmly to his chest - even if he threw it into the fire, he wouldn't give it to her.
Mingyue turned around and took off the spell behind Rob, Rob immediately deflated back like a deflated balloon, and was thinking about stepping forward to command everyone to extinguish the fire (I used to be a leader and rushed to the front line now), but Mingyue grabbed his hand and grabbed him.
"Eh, I'm going to tell them how to put out the fire, this fire is so big, it's useless to just pour a little water on it."
"Whatever, you see ...... you now" Mingyue stopped talking.
Rob has always been as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and as soon as Mingyue said that, she looked down, only to find that the clothes on her body had been torn into rags and draped on her body, revealing what Luo Bu didn't think there was, she used to wear a bikini less than this cloth, so she was afraid that she would be accidentally seen that she was hanging in the air.
"Why is this ......" Rob pulled his clothes down, but the bottom was not blocked, and the top was broken, and he didn't know what to do for a while, if it wasn't for Mingyue standing in front of her to cover her just now, I'm afraid someone would have noticed her a long time ago, and it's hard to say whether to put out the fire or catch the demon first.
"Let's go." Mingyue took Luo Bu's hand again and motioned for her to hurry up, Mingyue really didn't care about the lives of others.
"No." Rob looked at the people who were running to fight the fire, "After all, I lit this fire, and I don't want to affect innocent people." ”
Mingyue turned her head to look around, and pointed to Jingyue, who was standing on the side and bowed her head to chant the Buddha, "Let her tell her." ”
Rob had to explain to Jingyue: "Then, you let people demolish the house at both ends of the fire first, and the fire will naturally be extinguished if there is nothing to burn, understand?" ”
Jingyue recited the Buddha's name, "There is no need to act rashly, this fire is just the Buddha taking away from us what we don't need." ”
Rob was almost angry to death, but fortunately, letting all kinds of lazy and greedy people under his subordinates work hard is one of the skills of survival before, so Rob swallowed a mouthful of old blood and said with a pious face: "This is exactly the test that the Buddha gave you, as long as you say a word, you can save several people from the desolation of having no fixed place, isn't this a great merit?" ”
As he spoke, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and it had already spread, and a few of the people who were fighting the fire stopped standing on their sides, hugging their heads and crying.
"Well, look!" Rob pointed from the fire dragon to the distant mountains, "If you don't save this fire, the fire is boiling, not to mention that the peach blossom nunnery is gone, I'm afraid this mountain can't be saved, how innocent are the flowers, plants, birds and beasts in the mountains?" ”
After Jingyue thought about it for a while, she really walked over to negotiate with everyone, and Rob hurriedly followed Mingyue away, praying that no one would notice.
It was cool to beat people just now, but now the muscles are so sore that it looks like someone has beaten me violently, and when I move my tail, I grin in pain.
Mingyue bent down to pick up Rob and sneered, "Reckless." ”
"Hey~" Rob said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you even thank me for saving you?" If it weren't for me, you would have been tied up and sold. ”
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been tied up."
“……”
Rob was speechless, turned his head and looked at the fire from Mingyue's arm, Jingyue had already said that he would move others to demolish the house, Rob looked at Jingyue who was calm and commanding, frowned and said, "Isn't it strange that she saw my snake tail?" ”
"Maybe it's because in her eyes all beings are equal."
“…… Foolish. ”
But this kind of pious fool is both respectful and fearful.
Mingyue snorted, didn't express an opinion, and walked back to the original courtyard with Rob in her arms, which was located in the middle of nowhere, and looked like it was set up separately for Mingyue to live in, so she didn't have to worry about being affected by the fire.
When she arrived in the room, Mingyue gently put Rob on the bed, took a wet towel to help Rob scrub, and focused on rubbing Rob's cheeks.
After a while, Rob realized that he was disgusted that she was touched by Jingxin, and he was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pushed Mingyue aside, if it wasn't for the pain in her tail, she would have whipped her with her tail, "Go and go, if you dislike me, I'll leave and let you be out of sight." ”
Mingyue turned her head, got up and threw the towel back into the basin, and said sullenly, "If you want to go, let's go." ”
Mingyue was indeed very angry, but she was angry that she couldn't protect Rob, her body's martial arts skills were weak, and she was plotted when she appeared, which was unacceptable.
"You ......" Rob didn't want to stay by Mingyue's side for a long time, but he was driven away like this and felt that he couldn't get off the stage, but the words had already come out, and he really rolled over from the bed to pack up his things.
Actually, what does she have? Even the clothes on her body are Mingyue's, but she has money, first the money in the big wallet that came from Liu Zhukuai, and just now she snatched Jing'an's small box, and she didn't see what was in the box.
Robra passed the small box that he had just put in the bed, and found that the box was quite heavy, locked it with a quaint copper lock, and tried it left and right, and found that the copper lock was quite strong, and he didn't know how to open it for a while, and he regretted that he didn't snatch the key when he let Jing'an go.
Just as he was pondering whether to find a saw to cut the box open, a charm flew over and split the hinge at the junction into two pieces.
"Hey, hey, hey." Rob turned his head and smiled flatteringly at Mingyue, if you don't laugh, it's not impossible, it's not impossible to fly a spell that day to split yourself into two pieces.
Mingyue twisted her head to the side with a calm face, pretending not to see Rob's smirk, but she was still happy in her heart.
Rob carefully opened the box and found that there were several pieces of paper inside, which he couldn't make out what was written on them, and when he took out the papers, he found that there was real money underneath, and they were carefully sorted and wrapped according to their size.
Rob casually threw aside the gold, silver and boxes, and looked at the papers in his hand one by one, in the past, Rob would also put some cash in the safe for backup, in addition to some important documents, from himself and others, these yellow old papers are estimated to be title deeds and the like...... bar.
But there was no red seal or handprint or anything like that, just a few scribbled words, which made people inscrutable.
Just thinking about Jingyue knocking on the door and walking in, holding the roast duck and sauced beef in her hands, she spoke to Mingyue first after entering the door, "Host, this is what you want, fortunately today...... The person who delivered the food came a little late, so he was lucky enough to save it. ”
"What do I see?" Rob was stunned in surprise, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground, "Jingyue, who is a devout Buddha, actually sent meat dishes to Mingyue, is this world about to end?" ”
Jingyue glanced at Luo Bu, and said: "It is also written in the Buddhist scriptures that there is a living Buddha who is not taboo, wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in my heart." ”
Rob sarcastically said: "The Buddha is really compassionate, it's okay to eat vegetarian, it's okay to eat meat." ”
Jingyue turned her head to Mingyue and gave Rob the back of her head, pretending not to hear anything.
Mingyue was noncommittal, took the plate and put it aside, but Jingyue stood still and didn't leave.
"That...... Originally, these things were asked for by Jing Xin, but now that she is gone, the money ....... ”
Mingyue frowned slightly, and looked at Rob dissatisfied: It's all your trouble, and now you have to worry about the food money.
Rob raised his head proudly, and finally had a little bit of the feeling of being a domineering president in his previous life, he took out a small bag containing broken silver from the box, opened it slowly, picked up a piece of silver, checked it with his hand, and put it back, so as to exchange it for the money in his hand.
A person outside the door couldn't wait, shouted "No money", pushed the door in without waiting for Mingyue to agree, and stared at Mingyue's face and looked at it again and again, with a sad face, and saw that tears came out.
Mingyue was furious, "Presumptuous! ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and there were a few more charms between his fingers, and he was about to throw them at the person who had rudely intruded.
Rob hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "Sister, don't worry, this person is also related to me, and besides, they have a small business, and it is normal to be in a hurry to ask for money." ”
It turned out that this person was the old man who sold vegetables yesterday, and kindly drove Rob to the market, Rob is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, especially if others don't ask for a favor in return, the more he wants to make up for it.
Rob just moved his mouth to talk, but he didn't expect Jingyue to take the lead in front of the old man, protecting him with a pale face, tears flashing in his eyes, and his face was speechless and wanted to say goodbye.
Rob sensitively smelled the gossip, look at this, look at that, curious to death.
Mingyue is so angry that she wants to die, one or two of them have to fight against her, and the most important thing is that she really has no money, how can this not make people angry.
At this time, it would be too blind to help if he didn't help, Rob hurriedly pulled the sheets around his waist, jumped off the bed quickly, stuffed the whole bag of broken silver into the old man's hand, and persuaded: "Old man, there is some money here, you take it first, and after deducting the rest of today, you can buy more good food and send it over, okay?" ”
This is Rob, even if he gives money, he doesn't forget to maximize his interests, and first set the direction of future cooperation, so as not to make people think that he is lacking in heart, a loser, or a wronged person after taking the money.
It's a pity that Rob did all the tricks, and the old man didn't even look at her, he still stared at Mingyue, and even the money was stuffed by Rob and took his hand to catch it.
Is there anything to say about this? Rob flashed in his heart that the old man insisted on delivering food every day just to be able to see Mingyue from afar, and he gave it away for more than ten years, and finally waited for this day: Ah, Mingyue, finally wait until you grow up, and marry me!
Mingyue cruelly refused: I was not born when you were born, I am old when you were born, and the old cow eats tender grass, why should I be good with you?
Thinking of this, Rob couldn't help but snicker, Mingyue passed with an eye knife, which scared Rob to shrink his neck, and he couldn't slip away, so he had to step forward and stand in front of Mingyue to block the old man's "hot" gaze, and said: "That, let's go back first when you get the money, Mingyue is a little tired today, and it's the same with me if there is anything." ”
The old man was a little taller, standing behind Jingyue just enough to see Mingyue from the top of Jingyue's head, he came back to his senses when Rob said this, and nodded busily, "Yes, I saw the fire of the Peach Blossom Nunnery at the foot of the mountain, please forgive me for being abrupt, but I can only rest assured if I see Mingyue uninjured with my own eyes." ”
Unexpectedly, the old man who sold vegetables was still crepe when he spoke, Rob was thinking about gossip in his heart, and the smile on his face was even more innocent, who said that he couldn't laugh at his boss who didn't like it? Think of their unlucky appearance: the domineering president loves aunt, the boss walks off the bra, and spits out dentures on live TV......
So every time he saw his subordinates smiling at him, Rob couldn't help but secretly check with his tongue to see if there were leek leaves stuck to his teeth.
"Take the money and go." Mingyue put away the charm and said coldly.
It's so ruthless, I didn't even ask anyone's last name.
The old man had no choice but to turn around and walk out, but Rob couldn't bear it, so he sent it out and asked at the door, "Uncle, what is your surname?" ”
"Uh-oh." When the old man saw Luo Bu at this time, he thought that she was a disciple beside Mingyue, and replied with a smile: "My surname is Song, you don't have to be so polite, I am an old man with a bad life, you can just call me Old Song Tou." ”
"Uncle Song, walk slowly." Luo Bu enthusiastically followed behind Old Man Song to see him off, and only when he was a little far away from the bedroom did he ask in a low voice, "Uncle, do you know the host Mingyue?" ”
A sentence struck Lao Song Tou's heart, and Lao Song Tou burst into tears, covered his eyes and choked up: "That child, I'm sorry for her......"
The hands were dry and rough, and they looked like the bark of an old locust tree, with bulging veins and twists.
Sorry for what...... Rob has already started to make up some discordant pictures in his head.
"Ah Luo~~~" Mingyue shouted in the house, the long tail note was angry, so scared that Rob ran back while saying "Let's go", the sound of the word "good" did not fall, and the person had returned to the house.
