Chapter 59: The Statue
I finally squeezed in, stepped on the feet of several people, squeezed the packages crookedly, and there were people arguing next to me.
"Squeeze what, squeeze me!"
"There are so many people, what's wrong with squeezing, I think you can go to Wanfulou to listen, what are you pretending to be if you don't have money. ”
"Hmph, haven't you heard that it is difficult for a thousand dollars to buy Mr. Qiu Basket to open his mouth? Lonely and unheard, Mr. Qiu Basket only likes to tell stories on the street, and only once a month.
Once, I heard that the magistrate of the county wanted to hire Mr. Qiu Liang to talk about it on a day when he was not lecturing, but Mr. Qiu Liang did not agree.
Later, the magistrate of the county was angry and wanted to detain Mr. Qiu Xuan, and the people heard that Qi Qi knelt in front of the big man's hall to intercede for him, and the big man was also moved by this, so he let him go. ”
Xia Kucao was shocked, this old man is so powerful? But this name is also strange, Mr. Qiu Huan?
Prunella automatically blocked the surrounding sounds, and listened attentively to Mr. Qiu Xuan's storytelling, since he is so good at storytelling, and he is not a person who pursues fame and fortune, and has many fans, most of his stories may come from the people.
Xia Kucao listened carefully, Mr. Qiu Huang was telling the story of the panic in the city, it is said that families with children are closed before dark, adults are worried, and the school is no longer in school, but the children still keep disappearing inadvertently.
Everyone was at a loss, and the county magistrate dispatched the people from the yamen to no avail, and then invited the archmage to do it, and came with a ten-thousandth hope, but he was still disappointed.
A lot of money was spent, but the child was still being lost, and at this time, a man came to the county seat, a fairy-like person, with extraordinary appearance, and was born in white clothes.
Not only is he of extraordinary appearance, but the news he brought is also very amazing, the child has been found, 80% of the children have returned in the warm eyes of their parents, and only 20% of the children have only returned the corpse.
This brought good news to the local people, and the people came in droves to worship him, even the county lord himself came.
But this man is mysterious and unfathomable, and after accepting people's kindness, he suddenly disappears.
Evaporated like a bubble, left no trace, people spontaneously went to look for him and could not see, the world said that he was a god sent from heaven to save people, a rich merchant in order to thank the hero for saving his life, built a statue of a benefactor near the preface pavilion, and sent people to guard and worship day and night.
Xia Kucao was extremely curious, what kind of person was this legendary fairy-like person? Saving people? This would always make her think of herself, perhaps because she was deeply touched, Xia Kucao decided to go to the Preface Pavilion to worship his statue.
"Hello, excuse me, may I ask how to get to the Preface Pavilion?"
Passers-by were very enthusiastic to help her show the way, and Prunella followed the guidance to find it.
As the name suggests, the preface pavilion is a place where literati and scholars gather, and the pavilion is unique in this radius of 100 miles, built next to a lake.
And the statue stands in the open space not far from the pavilion, the rich merchant also specially built the open space into a garden with ornamental interest, next to the flowers can also be painted, the bottom of the statue is cloudy, beautiful.
Standing in awe of the three-meter-tall statue, Xia Kucao almost had an illusion when she looked up.
The face of this statue is simply magical, whose chisel can chisel out such an angular face, even the expression is faint, looking at him as if standing in front of him, people become small.
Xia Kucao shook her head and didn't dare to think about it, she took out the painting that the eldest mother described and painted, and compared it to the statue, it was a little similar, could it be that she had spent her eyes, or was she too eager to find the hallucinations that he appeared?
The package behind her suddenly moved, against her back, and the prunella grass didn't know why, something on the back was pecking at her package?
Xia Kucao untied the rope and placed the package in front of her, she was a little worried, there should be no thief, she was out alone, and the little silver left in her hand was still left by him.
If someone takes it, how should she go in the future, Xia Kucao thinks it is better to be cautious.
She was wrapping her hands around the package, and something moved inside the package, and the prunella grass obviously felt it, and she quickly spread her hand in fright, wouldn't there be a big insect in it?
Prunella put the package on the ground, crouched down to untie the rope, and was stunned for a moment as she carefully recalled what had happened today.
When she left, she seemed to throw the hoop on the bed, and she didn't take it seriously at all, so now, what happened to the hoop that appeared in the package?
Xia Kucao took out the iron ring and said to herself, "Could it be that my memory is declining so fast? ”
But guessing out of thin air can't help her, the iron ring is in the package is an indisputable fact, from her departure to the county, no one has touched her package, but she doesn't remember to bring it, so there is only one possibility, she has become dementia?
Xia Kucao sighed and tied the package tightly, there was nothing too easy to mess with in it, she was too sensitive.
Xia Wither repacked the package and carefully put away the portrait, no, no, they were not the same person, she knew that it could not be such a coincidence.
