Chapter Forty-Seven: Pushing the Boat Downstream
Plum Blossom timidly asked, "Are you all together?" Come in with me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jiang Qu tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Why did he come back again?" ”
"I don't know, when I went to find the master, Chongming was there. He said that he would follow us, saying that one can protect us, two can protect us, and three can still protect us. Changsheng looked back, Chongming walked last, obviously insisting on following up. Jiang Qu was confused when she heard this, and turned her face around, "Don't look at it, his temperament is undecided, what if he says he wants to gouge out your eyeballs in a while?" ”
The deer was lying on the ground kicking and making a lot of noise, this way of spreading his temper was like a hexagram, and a woman with a bun sitting on the stone bench glanced at him indifferently, "Let you go to the mortal world to learn all the bad things about mortals." ”
Plum blossom called out timidly to Madame, too timid to stay with them and jump into the grass, the deer saw them coming, but felt that they had succeeded and stopped crying. The woman said, "I have something to say to them, go and play." ”
Changsheng saw that the woman had nine colors on her clothes, and then blinked and saw her body, which was the nine-colored deer of Lu'er's mother. Lu'er bit her fingers and stared at the little monkey intently, and Changsheng said to the hexagram, "Can you go play too?" ”
He nodded and pulled the little monkey away, because he saw a swing frame made of vines hanging on the branch of a tree in front of him, and he wanted to sit down.
Lu'er followed, and she was about to pull the little monkey's hand but was stopped by the hexagram, saying that they were all men and didn't play with the little girl. Walked away while arguing.
The nine-colored deer said, "Lu'er was not like this before, it was you who taught her badly, and if I said that I would not give you fruit, she would quarrel with me." He also said that he was going to make himself sick, and he wanted to make me angry. ”
Changsheng said, "But children are like this. ”
It has nothing to do with whether it is a human or a demon.,Children's nature is like this, sometimes it's a little unreasonable.,It's also a little noisy.。 But she thinks it's good to be so lively and clever, don't look like her wooden and stupid, whether she was coquettish or splattered when she was a child, she was stupid.
The nine-colored deer looked at her for a moment and said, "Since you have come in, it means that you have agreed to my conditions." It is not impossible to give you a fruit, but it cannot be given in vain, you have to take it. ”
"Rob?" Jiang Qu raised his eyebrows, "Who are you going to rob?" What to grab? ”
The nine-colored deer said, "Whatever you want, grab it." You can see that lantern tree, there is a honeycomb hanging on it, and we were very injured when we were picking fruit last year, and I don't want me to suffer like that. So this year you go and get it, and if you can get all four, I'll give you one. ”
Jiang Qu smiled, "We risk being bitten, and we will suffer a little bit if we pick four and only take one." ”
"I heard that there is a poison called arsenic in the mortal world, which can be used as medicine and harmless when the amount is small, and if the amount is too large, it will become poison and the intestines will rot if you eat it. This lantern fruit is similar to arsenic, it is a nourishing food for demons, but for people, this lantern fruit itself is poisonous, I think there are people among you who are poisoned and need it to fight poison with poison. But the person who was in good health ate it and would die on the spot. ”
Jiang Qu debunked and said, "You think that we can get the best fruit, and if we can't get it, we can make those bees lose their soldiers, so you can sit and reap the profits." ”
"I have no affection for mortals, but I have seen many of my own kind die at the hands of mortals. Lu'er is still young and doesn't know the dangers of the world, so I asked her not to stop on the way to deliver a lamp to her sister, but she didn't listen, and ended up getting acquainted with you. She's been throwing tantrums with me all day long for you, and I don't know what you're bewitching. ”
"We didn't ......"
Changsheng wanted to argue, but unfortunately the nine-colored deer didn't plan to listen to it at all, "It's also your luck, it's a coincidence, this lantern fruit will be ripe tonight, if you miss it, you will have to wait another year." Mortals are cunning and treacherous by nature, but before the time of the child you can think of how you can get the fruit, and I will call you again when the time comes. After saying that, he left, probably preparing to grab the fruit tonight.
Changsheng lowered his head and thought about what was the way to drive away the bees, but he heard Jiang Qu smile confidently, "What kind of condition should I be, it turned out that I just asked us to take the fruit, isn't this the will of heaven, push the boat with the water." ”
She came up with an idea, "Smoke it." ”
She remembers that one year at the end of the village, a group of wasps came under the eaves of the widow's house to build a honeycomb, and many people were stung by the wasps when they passed by, and her father-in-law smoked them, and the bees were afraid of smoke, so they piled up the fallen leaves and lit a fire with thick smoke, and the dead flew away, leaving an empty nest.
The widow thanked her father-in-law and made a dish of steamed pumpkin with honey for them to eat. When I think about it, I just feel that the saliva in my mouth is sweet.
Sima Lu said, "Smoking is also a way, but there is a simpler one. He looked at her clothes.
Changsheng suddenly realized that wearing this heavenly robe, if he borrowed the piece on the hexagram to cover his head, he didn't have to be afraid of being stung, so he found a cloth bag or something to cover the honeycomb and pick it up, and threw it elsewhere, and even the kung fu of making a fire was left.
Changsheng smiled and said, "Senior brother is so smart, I'll go tell that lady." ”
Jiang Qu grabbed her and kept a heartfelt eye, "Don't you see that Fang Cai is not very friendly to people, the fruit is only ripe when it is ripe, if you tell her so quickly and help her pick the honeycomb, she will regret it and we will be helpless with her." It's better to wait until the night, if she breaks her promise by then, we can also grab it. ”
Changsheng didn't think Lu'er's mother was untrustworthy, Jiang Qu said, "It's not for you to think of everything as bad, but that fruit is also important to us, and it's right to be careful." ”
Changsheng nodded, wanting to ask what Fu Yan thought of it, and if there was anything to add to their plan. But Fu Yan was distracted, his eyes couldn't focus, so he fixed on somewhere, and he couldn't see that he was distracted, but after shouting three times in a row, he didn't respond.
Jiang Qu thought that it was true that the emperor was not in a hurry to die of the eunuch, but a few of them were more anxious than Uncle Shi when his eyes would be able to regain his sight. "Uncle Shi."
Fu Yan raised his head, pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'm a little tired, rest for a while, don't call me." "He is accustomed to being at ease with what he encounters, and he is also accustomed to being bed by heaven and earth, and he doesn't pick one, but lies down on the spot.
Changsheng and the others moved a few steps to the side, for fear of blocking his outstretched feet. Jiang Qu was afraid that he would think his behavior was strange, and he was afraid that Fu Yan would hear it, so he made a lip gesture and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Shi?" ”
Changsheng remembered that she had promised to keep her mouth shut, so she had to shake her head.
