In addition to asking for ten more sets of lotus cosmetics, Li Laowai asked for ten catties of tea, and Qian Yixiu gave them all. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info and even said that he had made an agreement with him that he still had good things, and let him exchange the most valuable things, preferably their kind of big boat.

Mr. Li said that his fleet would return to China as soon as he returned. In a few years, they will come back and ask Qian Yixiu to write him the specific address here, to see if he can find her again in the future. If there is something of equal value, he will give her a big boat.

At the same time, he wrote his specific address in English, even if Qian Yixiu couldn't go to his house, it was a memorial. He is truly from the "Empire that never sets", living in the capital of their empire.

Qian Yixiu took the things that were exchanged back to the main courtyard, and Qian Sangui allocated them again, except for the cannon that belonged to the family, a telescope was given to the little monk, and the rest of the things were taken back by Qian Yixiu.

Qian Yixiu only took three gems, and then left a pocket watch for his little father, and let Qian Hua take the rest to the capital to sell.

Qian Sangui said with a smile, "The money from the sale was given to Xiu'er as a dowry." Master knows that these things are all earned by Xiu'er at risk. ”

Qian Yixiu shook her head and smiled, "I have money." Now that I have younger brothers and sisters, I still have to leave them more silver. ”

Qian Sangui touched Qian Yixiu's small bag and said, "Xiu'er is a good baby, I know it in my heart, and I won't let you suffer." ”

In the next morning, Wan Dazhong came back to the park. They also heard the "thunder" in Darong Village, and the old people thought that it was the thunder of the heavens, and now the village is raising money to buy chickens, fish, and pigs to worship the gods

Qian Sangui smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then talked about the reason for the "thunder".

Wan Dazhong was shocked, said to go and see the cannon, and ran to the west of the moonlight of the lotus pond with long legs. He not only looked at the cannon, but also ran to see the crater, and was so excited that he immediately ran home.

Mr. Yu was also in Wanjia, and when the little monk came, he took Qian Yijin's leave and came to Wanjia to drink.

Wan Dazhong said to them excitedly, "...... Two or three miles away, the boulders were shattered, and a large crater was blown out. I didn't expect this kind of cannon to be so powerful. With this kind of big guy, our prince's triumphant return is just around the corner! ”

Wan Erniu and Mr. Yu were shocked when they heard this. Especially Wan Erniu, he will make fire guns, and now there is one at home. Father and son went hunting, sometimes with firearms.

Wan Erniu said to Wan Dazhong, "Don't worry about your family's affairs during this time, go to the west of the moonlight of the lotus pond, disassemble the cannon with those craftsmen, and get ......this cannon through as soon as possible."

In the afternoon and evening of that day, Qian Yixiu, Qian Yijin, and the little monk all learned the addition and subtraction of Arabic numerals from Li Laowai. Because Qian Yijin and the little monk learned to recognize Arabic numerals by recognizing pocket watches, they learned relatively quickly, and they would be able to do it at night. And the genius girl Qian Yixiu is faster, and even the Arabic numerals can be divided.

The reason why Qian Yixiu became a "genius" this time was purely because he wanted to teach these two little Zhengtai in the future. Arithmetic with Arabic numerals, it's so convenient.

The next morning, he sent away Li Laowai and Lin Qing, and the next morning, he sent off the little monk. The little monk not only took away a few monk's robes, but also took a telescope as he wished.

The little monk walked on the front foot, and Qian Yixiu took the purple beads on the back foot to find those craftsmen, and Wan Dazhong was actually there. Several people discussed some precautions and details in the disassembly, and then she walked leisurely and slowly to the house.

On the way home, Qian Yixiu's mood was extremely relaxed. With this kind of cannon, the chances of victory will be greater. If the emperor has the foresight to develop the navy, this kind of artillery naval battle is also very good.

Since he lives in this land, Qian Yixiu still hopes that this land can be peaceful and strong, and there will be no wars and no misery.

At this time, the sun is setting, and the glow of the sun has covered the earth with a layer of golden light. Walking on the path by the lotus pond, the lotus pond is endless. Some of the lotus leaves in the pond are as big as the mouth of a bowl, and some are as small as a fist, and the water between the cracks of the lotus leaves seems to be sprinkled with broken gold. A gust of wind passed, the lotus fragrance bursted, and the "golden wave" was shining.

Occasionally, I will come across a long-term worker who is busy rowing a boat in the pond.

Qian Yixiu would greet him, "Uncle Li (Wang), it's time to go home." ”

The man looked up and smiled innocently, "Oh, it's my sister, walk carefully." I'll be fine, and I'll go home right away. ”

On the other side of the river, waves of golden wheat roll in the wind, and you can vaguely see shepherd boys riding on the backs of oxen and farmers returning home.

Beautiful rural scenery, leisurely rural life, and love for yourself and your family...... Qian Yixiu really hopes that time can stand still, so that she will always have this comfort, tranquility and beauty.

After returning to the garden, she quietly returned to the Lotus Perfume Pavilion, freshened up again, changed her clothes and shoes, and then went to Wangjiang Tower to pick up the little lady.

Qian Yijin was already there after school, and then several people pushed Mingwa and Jing'er to the main room together. As soon as they entered the main room, the brother and sister were blown up by a huge news, and they were indignant.

Cheng Yue didn't even enter the house, and when she heard so many noisy sounds, she took the two small ones back to Wangjiang Tower.

The matter is from Qian Manduo's mother-in-law, Lao Li's family, and it stands to reason that the Qian family will not take care of his family's affairs, but this incident was caused by the incident of Qian Yixiu testing the cannon.

On the other side of the Honghe River, a few miles west of the Hongqiao, there is a small town called Shili Town, which is built by the river. Yesterday morning, I suddenly heard a "thunderclap", and then I saw a burst of gunpowder smoke on the other side of the river. The people of the town were terrified, they thought it was a god angry and wanted to punish the humans. They knelt down in unison, kowtowing to the smoke.

There was a landowner in the town who was called the landlord of the horse, and he happened to see the terrible scene. He thought that it was not God who was angry, but the god of the Honghe River who was angry. So he gave thirty taels of silver, saying that he wanted to buy a pair of boys and girls and sacrifice them to the god of the river.

Thirty taels of silver, twenty taels for boys, and ten taels for girls.

The second child of the Li family happened to gamble with a few gangsters in the town for a night, and he had bad luck and lost more than 800 yuan. He came out scolding, thinking about how to raise money when he got home, and heard the "good" news.

He was really sleepy and had a pillow, and he happily ran home to discuss with his mother-in-law. Ten taels of silver, that's two acres of land, and Mrs. Li happily nodded and agreed.

Li Lao Er went out of the main house, first went back to his house to get a piece of rock candy, and went to the backyard to find Li Acao who had just finished feeding the pigs. smiled, "Ah Cao, give you rock candy, it's very sweet." ”

Although Li Acao was a little stunned, she couldn't understand why the second uncle, who had always been fierce, gave her a smile and gave herself candy to eat. She wiped her little dirty hand on the hem of her clothes, took the sugar and stuffed it into her mouth. It was so sweet, so sweet that she narrowed her eyes.

Li Lao Er said again, "I saw your uncle in Shili Town, he bought wontons in the restaurant, and asked me to take you to eat." ”

Li Acao feels that the person who loves her the most in the world is her uncle. Only her uncle is kind to her, only her uncle will go to see her at home during the New Year or her birthday, and will bring her good food, and watch her eat, and no one will be allowed to rob her.

She heard that her uncle was waiting for her in Shili Town, so she didn't think much about it and followed Li Lao Er to Shili Town.

After Li Lao Er came back in the morning, he told Li Manduo the truth and gave her a tael of silver. Although Li Manduo didn't like the black and ugly girl who looked like Li Shuzi, she didn't want her daughter to be sold to the river god, so she cried at home, saying that she was going to get Li Acao back.

Mrs. Li was furious, and locked Li Manduo together with the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law. originally wanted to lock Li Acai together, but Li Acai stood on the same front with them. also persuaded Qian Manduo to say, "Mother don't make trouble, my sister went to sacrifice to the river god, maybe the river god can bless my father to come back safely, like my Uncle Manjiang is not necessarily a general." ”

Li Lao Er was happy and said, "Good boy, I finally did something that suited Lao Tzu's heart." ”

At dinner, he also gave Li Acai two pieces of chicken and a bowl of chicken soup.

The Li family was still afraid that Li Acai would go back to Lao Qian's house to report the news, so they kept watching him and didn't allow him to go out. Starting early this morning, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li's family and Mrs. Li's family quarreled for a day over the distribution of money, and when they quarreled in the second half of the day, they actually fought, and Li Acai saw the opportunity to sneak out.

He ran to his grandfather's house in Huaxi Village with all his might, and cried about his sister being sold to Shili Town to worship the river god and his mother being locked up. At the same time, he also said that after Li Shuzi left, Li Lao Er entered the house several times at night to tease Li Manduo, but was scared away by Li Acai with a stick. Li Lao Er hated Li Acai, so he often found excuses to beat him, and when he lifted his clothes, there were many bruises and bruises on his body.

Qian Ergui was so angry that he married the Li family because he was full of money and couldn't figure it out, and now the man has been bullied like this just a few months ago. I feel sorry for Li Acao being sold to sacrifice to the river god, and I feel sorry for Li Acai being beaten.

Qian Ergui was useless, and he was in a hurry at home, but he couldn't think of a good way, so he had to wait for his son Qian Manhe to come back and discuss. The chattering Tang family is not distressed by his granddaughter, but distressed by Qian Manduo being locked up and Li Acai being beaten, and distressed by the nine taels of silver. kept scolding, "The nine taels of silver are the money for selling A Cao, and they should all be given to Duo Niang, why was it divided between the old Qianpo and the two livestock?" ”

Qian Ergui slapped her angrily and scolded, "My granddaughter is about to sink into the river, but you only remember the silver." ”

finally waited for Qian Manhe to come back from the county seat, Qian Ergui couldn't speak in a fit of anger, and Li Acai cried again.

Qian Manhe was also angry, and scolded the Li family for being mad and not going to die well. Although he is full of money, he can't ignore her. Especially Li Acao, she is her own niece, how can she watch her sacrifice to the river god?

But he and his father were alone, so they had to go to Old Man Qian to discuss with Boss Qian first. They had no choice, and then several people came back to the garden to ask for help from Qian Sangui. I want to borrow a few sturdy subordinates and go to Shili Town to redeem people together. Tomorrow morning, we will have to sacrifice, and we will see if we can bring Li Acao back tonight.

When Qian Sangui heard this, he was also frightened. Isn't sacrificing to the god of the river to sink the boy and the girl into the river and drown?

Qian Yixiu was even more frightened, he was doing a good deed for the Great Qianchao by buying cannons, but he couldn't hurt innocent lives. It's not just Li Acao, but also the boy.

Qian Yixiu has been here for five years, and has been a ghost for nearly seven years, but he has never seen Li Acao, and only occasionally heard Wu say a few words about her.

Li Acao is six years old this year, because she is a female baby, and she looks like Li Shuzi, she is not good-looking, and she has been wetting the bed, especially not happy with the two of them. Every time Qian Manduo led the man's son back to his parents' house to eat and drink, he never brought Li Acao, and even Qian Ergui and others rarely saw each other last time. asked Qian Manduo to bring her daughter back, Qian Manduo always said, "That girl is so stupid, why do you eat so much?" ”

That little girl is an invisible being.

Now, for the first time, she was brought out by everyone, but because of this kind of thing.

The horseman disregarded human life, and the old Li family lost their conscience, but the matter was caused by themselves. If I don't kill Beren, he will die because of me.

Qian Yixiu was the first to speak according to her wildly beating little heart, "Grandpa, save Acao...... And the boy. ”

Qian Sangui also thinks so, he can't let the innocent baby die because of his own family. He said, "Sacrifice is a major event, and it is about God's care for people. Think about it and make a good excuse. Otherwise, if you can't save the baby, it will cause public outrage. ”

He hurriedly asked Su Siwu to invite Mr. Yu over and listen to his opinion.

As soon as Qian Ergui's father and son saw Qian Sangui say this, their hearts were put into their stomachs. As long as Qian Sangui is willing to come forward, Ah Cao will be saved.

Mr. Yu also knew what it was like to hit the "thunder", and when he heard that he was going to use boys and girls to sacrifice to the river god, he was so angry that he got up and scolded, "Ignoring human life is extremely hateful." ”

He sat down again after getting angry, thought for a while, and asked, "Except for Huaxi Village, are the other villages sacrificing the gods of heaven or the god of the river, and what sacrifices are used?" ”

Old man Qian, who often goes out to chat, has the most right to speak, he said, "Except for Shili Town, several nearby villages are worshipping the gods, and the sacrifices are similar to our village, some are sheep and pigs, and some are chickens, fish and pigs. ”

"That's easy." First go to the village to find a few authoritative old people, and say that only the gods can thunder, why do you want to sacrifice to the river gods? If you sacrifice to the wrong god, the gods will be even more angry. Besides, God has the virtue of a good life, and he is not willing to eat the living. According to historical records, for nearly a thousand years, even emperors would not use living people as sacrifices, just to comply with the will of heaven. If you do that in Shili Town, you are not afraid of being sent by heaven? If the gods are angry, they will not only bring disaster to Shili Town, but also the neighbors next to Shili Town. Then these old men will go to the village to ......."

is worthy of being a literary star. Old man Qian gave Mr. Yu a thumbs up.

Old man Qian also believed that the "thunder" was the anger of the gods. He wanted to save his great-great-granddaughter, but he didn't want to offend God because of it. After listening to Mr. Yu's words, the burden in my heart was completely let go.

Yes, it was the gods of heaven who thundered, and if the god of the river was sacrificed, wouldn't it offend the gods even more?
