Chapter 386: Surprised
"Madam, the people outside are crying, saying that they can't let the adults put their lives in danger for them, and they want to beg the witch master to suppress the thousand-year-old snake demon again!" Yunmist, who was watching in the crowd, came back and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that the people would love adults so much!" ”
Peng Jin attaches great importance to this festival, as a woman, it is not good to appear in front of people with Liu Shi to take the oath, so she has been waiting in the backyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, although she did not see that touching scene, she could also imagine it from the words of the clouds.
This is all the blessings accumulated by Liu Shi who dedicated himself to the people before.
That's why the old saying goes, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and we only hope to arrive early or late."
"However, my lord said that since the Witch Master had already asked the people to contribute sacrificial blood food, it could be seen that he had reached the end of his crossbow and could no longer continue to suppress the thousand-year-old snake demon with profound Taoism. If he doesn't come forward at this time, then it will be the people who will suffer! Yunwu looked worshipful and said excitedly, "Madam, didn't you see that those people were even more grateful after hearing the words of the adults, and they used their bodies to block in front of the adults, saying that if this is the case, then let them use their bodies as shields to protect the adults!" ”
Peng Jin wanted to laugh when he heard it, Wu Ji had moved a stone and hit his own foot.
In order to intimidate the people to obtain supplies and cause local unrest, the witch hajj said how bad the situation was, so the people felt that the "thousand-year-old snake demon" had opened its bloody mouth and was waiting to devour them, and the situation was so bad that even the witch could not do anything about it.
But Liu Shi is not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of sacrifice, with his own strength, he has affection for this "thousand-year-old snake demon", knows it with reason, persuades him to leave, turns the tide, and saves the people from the line of life and death, and will definitely become a mountain in the hearts of the people that even witches are insurmountable!
All the efforts of Wu Ji are just to achieve Liu Zhi, how can he not be angry.
"I hope they have all the best on their trip!" Peng Jin didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but at this time, he couldn't help but fold his palms and prayed sincerely.
"Definitely!" Yunwu was full of confidence and said, "Mr. Zhang said that the adults have a thorough plan for this trip, even if they can't persuade that 'thousand-year-old snake demon' to leave, there will definitely be no problem with self-preservation!" ”
Yunwu didn't dare to say that if there was really an accident, judging from the people's gratitude to Liu Shi, they would definitely build a city wall with flesh and blood to help Liu Shi leave!
Peng Jin nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
Before Liu Shi left, he handed over all the affairs in the yamen to Zhang Minghua to be responsible.
Zhang Minghua was afraid that Peng Jin would be anxious waiting in the backyard, so as soon as there was news, someone immediately passed it in to make Peng Jin feel at ease.
Although Peng Jin can't go with Liu Shi this time, he can get the latest news of Liu Shi's trip at any time:
Liu Zhi sacrificed to the gods of heaven and earth, ordered the officials to carry the prepared incense case candles, led the people, and went out of the city gate all the way;
Everyone walked through the mountains and forests, and encountered an ambush by thieves at the canyon at the exit, but fortunately, everyone was prepared, and with Liu Zhi's order, everyone immediately set up a formation, fought and entered, and successfully exited the canyon, and no one died;
When crossing the Red River, the boat was attacked by inexplicable creatures under the water and capsized, but everyone crossed the river smoothly with wooden planks in hand and blowing air bags on their backs.
……
Everyone walked all the way and successfully arrived at Xiaoqingtan, although many people were injured, but no one died.
After that, there was no news for a long time.
Now that they have arrived at Xiaoqingtan, everyone must do their best to deal with the last and strongest line of defense hastily laid out by the Wujin and Guanyin bandits after receiving the news, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan of "reforming the 'thousand-year-old snake demon' and making it automatically retreat", where will they be able to distract themselves and pass the news outside.
Peng Jin was restless, the ambush he encountered before arriving at Xiaoqingtan was just a pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres, and after arriving at Xiaoqingtan, the hidden defenses that had been laid before and the last line of defense that had been hastily laid out there were the first big dishes, and Peng Jin did not dare to predict its danger.
Fortunately, more than an hour later, a new message came back, saying that Liu Shi had seen the witch who had "come out to greet him respectfully" and was discussing the festival with him in the house.
Peng Jin closed the text message, her brows furrowed even tighter.
The witch is deeply feared by the people, and if he doesn't nod, Liu Zhi can't force him.
Of course, Wu Ji will not directly say that he is unwilling to let Liu Shi preside over the festival, but judging from his "merits" that have always been able to speak well and win the hearts of the people, he will definitely easily make up countless reasons that do not disgust the people and make it difficult for Liu Shi to refuse.
In other words, this contest actually depends on whose debate can go to the next level and let the people stand on their side.
Peng Jin was very worried that the young and vigorous Liu Shi was not the opponent of the scheming witchcraft.
It wasn't until the text message that the next festival officially started came back that Peng Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this breath is only halfway to vomit.
Because the next thing is the most important thing, Xiaoqingtan must be the last line of defense for the Wujin and Guanyin Mountain bandits, and the degree of difficulty in breaking through can be imagined.
Peng Jin was afraid that he would be crazy about torturing himself with cranky thoughts, so he simply threw himself away and planned to go to the kitchen to cook a big meal to treat Liu Shi - whether he succeeded or not, Liu Shi could be regarded as famous in a war this time, and in the future, Wu Ji wanted to use the people's awe of him to disadvantage Liu Shi, but I am afraid that it will not be easy.
That in itself is a success.
Nuan Nuan was tired of playing alone, and when she saw Peng Jin raising her feet to leave, she hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes, raised her head and begged: "Mother, go together!" ”
Seeing her pitiful little appearance, Peng Jin's mood suddenly improved a lot, and said with a smile: "Okay, Nuan Nuan will go with her!" Let's go to the kitchen and prepare dinner for Daddy, shall we? ”
"Good!" Nuan Nuan replied excitedly, "Cook for Daddy!" ”
However, soon, Peng Jin regretted his decision.
The greens, which had been picked and washed, were thrown to the ground;
The flour in the jar flew to the stove, on the board, on the threshold...... Everywhere, even on people in the kitchen;
The broth in the pot was sprinkled with more than half of it;
Chopsticks and spoons all fell from the chopsticks cage to the ground
……
Peng Jin and others even shouted:
"Nuan Nuan, that's a knife, you can't take it!"
"Miss, that's raw meat, you can't eat it!"
"Miss be careful, don't get burned!"
……
And Nuan Nuan ran around with a smile, not afraid at all, and then "put a fire" here, and then go there to "light a cigarette".
The whole kitchen is full of chickens and dogs.
