Chapter Forty-Eight: Bai Endeavor (7)
I don't know how many days have passed, but for me, the time of light is not linear. It's like www.biquge.info signal, compressed, distorted, and then every now and then there is a scream or two.
There was a sound behind me, and when I turned around, I saw a humanoid figure walking to the side.
"Oh, Lao Chen, where are you going?" It was a female voice. I saw a short shadow of light, carrying a small basket towards the light of the village chief Chen Zhongzhong.
"Oh, I have something to tell you, go to the Bai family right away." Lao Chen gestured ahead.
"Oops, that's perfect. I had something to do with Xiaolu's mother, so I'm going with you. The woman said happily, and while changing her route and following Lao Chen, she walked towards me. As he walked, he asked, "Lao Chen, what is the matter with you going to their house?" ”
"Oh, a couple of things, ask her." Lao Chen replied good-naturedly.
"Oh, did you ask her about the observatory?" The woman's light immediately said, "Great. Someone finally came out to take care of it, but it made us sad. ”
Lao Chen hesitated for a moment, and then asked with concern, "What's wrong with the observatory?" ”
"Oh, you don't know?" The woman's voice is really loud enough to be heard from afar. But unlike Bai Mu's high-pitched voice, her voice is fancy and too dramatic, as if she wants to attract more people's attention.
"The sky changed last night!" The woman described, "Oh, like a red dragon, falling from the sky." It's scared to death, oh my God. This is a disaster from the sky, something big is going to happen. ”
Lao Chen smiled, "What nonsense, it's just a little bit of fire burning clouds, Aunt Mi, don't make a fuss." ”
"Oops, I'm not making a fuss." Aunt Mi immediately retorted, as if she was a little offended in her tone. "I'll tell you, this is called 'blood rushing to the sky', a great omen. It was all built by their observatory, and it leaked the heavenly secrets..."
"Alright, alright." While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the Bai family's courtyard, and Lao Chen hurriedly stopped her, "Put these messes aside first, let's go in first and talk about business, okay?" ”
The woman pursed her lips and nodded.
Lao Chen's light came to the door of the Bai family and knocked: "Little deer, mother!" Damn it! Are you not at home? Endeavor? Endeavor! ”
After a while, he saw a light pass through the door that was now hidden, and he reached out to open the door, and his tall body stood there a little crooked, looking at them. "Uncle Chen, Aunt Mi." Bai Fenjin sniffed and screamed a little indistinctly.
"Endeavour, is your mother at home?" Lao Chen seemed to be asking a child.
"Mom, Mommy isn't home." After he said a word, he turned around and wanted to close the door, Lao Chen hurriedly asked, "Where did your mother go?" Did you say when you would be back? ”
"She's gone to buy eggs." Endeavor turned around, one hand involuntarily picking at his fingers, "No, I don't know when I'll be back." ”
"I don't think it will take long." Lao Chen turned around and whispered to Aunt Mi, "Then let's wait a while, it's all here." ”
"Yes." As she spoke, the woman hugged her arms as if she was about to start talking. She looked up at Bai Endeavour, who was standing there at a loss, with hypocritical enthusiasm in her tone, "Endeavour, don't you invite us into the house to sit?" ”
"Huh?" The man hurriedly reacted, "Oh, please come in, please come in." Do you want to drink anything? What to eat? I'll pour you tea. ”
"Oh, no, don't be busy." Lao Chen hurriedly said.
"Okay, what good tea do you have at home, take it out and give it to your aunt to taste." Aunt Mi pouted.
Bai Fenfen's light stood there stunned for a second, as if he didn't know how to decide. At this moment, I heard another voice from the courtyard: "Son, open the door!" ”
He hurried over and opened the door, and I saw the light of the white mother coming through the door, carrying a bag in her left hand and a light that looked like a poultry in her right hand. "Go buy some eggs, then buy an old hen, and then make an old hen soup later, and you can send it to your sister in the evening." After she finished speaking in one breath, she noticed someone in the living room, "Hey, Lao Chen, Aunt Mi, come to the door?" So he hurriedly turned around and urged Bai Fenfen, "Oh, why are you still standing there stupidly, quickly pour tea for others." ”
"Oh, no, no, no." Lao Chen hurriedly stopped this whirlwind action, "I have something serious to tell you." ”
Bai Mu immediately stopped her hurried movements and turned her head to look at the two: "What's the matter?" ”
At this moment, the image in front of me began to overlap with the previous one. I stood there and watched Lao Chen say a few words first, and then asked Bai Mu to sit down. I remember that this is what I saw when I first came to the Bai family.
But this time, I noticed that Bai Fenjin was standing on the side, and he seemed to be at a loss, not knowing where to put his body of more than 180 pounds. He stood behind the White Mother and leaned against the wall for a moment. It wasn't until Lao Chen pulled Bai Mu to sit down on the sofa that he hurriedly walked over and sat on the other end of the sofa silently.
"Oh, sister-in-law of the Bai family, you have to take care of your two children." Before Lao Chen could speak, Aunt Mi, who was sitting next to Bai Mu, spoke first, "This thing they did, something will happen sooner or later." You've got to persuade, the devil knows what they're doing there. ”
The White Mother turned around, "Oh, what do you want me to tell them?" ”
"Gee, just tell them to stop messing around." Compared with Bai Mu, Aunt Mi's momentum immediately became shorter, "You see that the weather has changed recently, and there are almost no crops growing in the field." Let me tell you, your observatory was built on the original Jade Emperor Temple, and it's not good to annoy the gods. Heck, anyway, you just tell them to stop messing around. Let's find someone to marry, or go somewhere else. ”
"That's... Not the Temple of the Jade Emperor. Bai Fenjin suddenly interjected, "That... It is a place to see the stars, and there are large discs. He struggled to explain.
Aunt Mi waved her hand, "Oh, you don't understand the grade." ”
Bai Fenjin looked at her for another second, and then sat up straight again silently, secretly biting the skin next to his nails.
"That's okay, I'll talk to Xiaolu when I'm free anyway." Bai Mu waved her hand.
Then their conversation went on like before, and Aunt Mi said a bunch of nonsense again. Bai Fenjin sat there, bowing his head and playing with his hands, or he raised his head and looked around quickly.
"But there's something urgent." Lao Chen finally snatched the conversation, "That little boy from Second Aunt Bai's family is strong and lost, and everyone in the family is dying, have you seen him recently?" ”
I saw Bai Fenfen's head jerk up and look at him, writhing uncomfortably.
