Chapter 124
Lai Yongnian was also panicked for a while---- after all, he was only a seventeen or eighteen boy, he was afraid that his hiding monsters would be discovered, and he would be tolerated by the world from then on, and he was afraid that the whereabouts of the autumn evening would be exposed, provoking the warlock who exterminated the demons!
After a long time of being entangled and uneasy, Lai Yongnian finally decided to go out to see what the rumors in the market had become.
Who knows, as soon as the door was opened, he was dragged and staggered, and then tripped on the threshold and fell straight to the stars. When he finally got up easily, he found that the door was already silently full of Lai family relatives.
Seeing that Lai Yongnian got up unharmed, the solemn patriarch raised his hand and waved, and suddenly, countless torches flew towards the crumbling old mansion of Laifu, and then, the flames soared into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it spread into a sea of fire.
Only then did Lai Yongnian find that the surroundings of his old house had been cleared and the walls were littered with straw splashed with sesame oil.
Thinking of the autumn evening still in the house, Lai Yongnian suddenly became anxious, and rushed to the fire with both hands and feet, but was held down by the clansmen on the side.
"Yongnian virtuous nephew, you probably don't know ----- there are demons in your house! We're all here for your own good! ”
The clan uncle who has already come out of the five suits has a serious persuasion of Lai Yongnian: "This is the sesame oil that the clan elder invited to Qixia Temple overnight to ask for, and he has been offering it in front of the Buddha for decades, and no ghosts and monsters can escape the incense of this Buddha oil, so don't worry."
If you don't mention this Buddha oil, Lai Yongnian is still lucky, thinking that the autumn evening may be able to hide in the pond and escape, now knowing that this sesame oil comes from Qixia Temple, Lai Yongnian is really panicked!
The name of the Buddha of Qixia Temple is far away, there are rumors in the market, the charm incense candles in the temple are all sharp weapons to exorcise demons, and now this Buddha oil does not need money as if it has to be splashed around their own house, that autumn evening is just a little demon who has just transformed for two years, I am afraid that it is really going to be buried in the fire!
Thinking of the autumn evening and his own day and night---- it can even be said that they depend on each other---- if the autumn evening dies, then he will really be alone, Lai Yongnian's heart is like a knife, so he got rid of the restraint of those clansmen regardless of it, and rushed straight towards the old house.
The summer weather was dry, and the fire quickly spread to the house. Lai Yongnian rushed into the courtyard with all his might, saw the fierceness of the fire, but could not find the figure of the autumn evening, so he stumbled towards the mud pond in the back garden with a glimmer of hope, but he did not expect that the hanging flower lattice door leading to the garden had been crumbling by the fire, and as soon as he ran closer, the extremely heavy elm lintel collapsed with half of the wall, and Lai Yongnian was about to be patted underneath.
I don't know how long it took, when Lai Yongnian woke up, he found himself in a strange place.
He struggled to get up, and felt a dull pain in the bones of his whole body as if they were broken, so he couldn't help but snort, but found that his voice was rough and ugly, and his throat began to burn with burning pain.
Hearing the news, the autumn evening helped Lai Yongnian to sit and lean well, and then said what happened afterward, Lai Yongnian knew that the autumn evening was really surrounded by Buddha oil to the house and could not escape, so he had to hide in the mud pond in the backyard, but he didn't want to, the sesame oil has been offered in front of the Buddha for a long time, and the incense is full of incense every day, so he brought a few traces of sandalwood, and now the fragrance of the fire came out at the same time, and it was so painful that the autumn evening was so painful that he thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, but he saw Lai Yongnian break straight in. But before the autumn evening was happy, Lai Yongnian was slapped to the ground by the lintel.
Seeing this, Qiu Wan hurriedly extinguished the fire, and dragged Lai Yongnian out from under the wall bricks, but, after this action, he inhaled more oil smoke into his lungs, and saw that he couldn't even maintain his human form, so he had to turn into a toad and hide under Lai Yongnian's body.
Lai Yongnian's clansmen waited for the fire to go out before they came in to check, and saw Lai Yongnian lying motionless on the ground, and hurriedly called the doctor to come to see him.
When the elm lintel collapsed, it happened to hit Lai Yongnian's chest and neck, the doctor said that the injury was too serious, and he could only resign himself to fate, Lai's relatives saw this and moved Lai Yongnian to Lai's ancestral hall to recuperate, the ancestral hall is a small courtyard with two entrances, the inner courtyard is for the tablets of Lai's ancestors, and the outer courtyard is the place where the clansmen who take turns cleaning rest. Lai Yongnian is now in an uninhabited wing room in this outer courtyard.
In the autumn evening, he followed Lai Yongnian into the ancestral hall of the Lai family. The people who took turns cleaning the ancestral hall did not stay in this courtyard for long, they all locked up the guys who cleaned up in the division and left, and now Lai Yongnian is recuperating in the ancestral hall, but there are more people to send three meals a day and medicine, and after sending it, Lai Yongnian, who is unconscious, finished eating and left.
As soon as the autumn evening and others left, they came out to wait. Those who delivered the food were all relatives of the Lai clan, there were men and women, most of the men were forced to pour the decoction and leave, the women were soft-hearted, and fed them with spoons more carefully, and then sighed 'poor children without mothers' and the like, and at this time in the autumn evening, they turned into toads and hid under the bed to listen.
Two women came together that day, and in the autumn evening, they saw them chatting while feeding, so they listened intently for a long time, and realized that long before those gentlemen found themselves, the patriarch of the Lai clan was planning to burn down the house of Lai Yongnian's family.
A squire who came from outside took a fancy to the foundation of Lai Yongnian's house, and heard that the owner of the house was dead, leaving only a hairy child, so he found the patriarch of the Lai family and wanted to ask them to negotiate.
The squire had a lot of money, and he was not afraid of the death of people in this house---- because the squire said that after the house was bought, it would be torn down to build a garden for his own leisure and amusement, and said that he had already consulted the warlock, as long as the house was knocked down, and then the homestead was left to dry under the summer sun for a season, and the noon sun was vicious, and the ghosts and monsters who died were only sunburned and scattered, and then they could still come out to make trouble!
When the elder heard this, he was a little moved---- letting the house that had died in this village provoke the bad luck of the village, it is better to rebuild it, or change the feng shui.
It's just that Lai Yongnian is still holding on to the house. The elder of the sect had persuaded Lai Yongnian to move to his relatives' house to live so that it would be convenient for everyone to take care of it, but even after saying it a few times, Lai Yongnian should not say that this house was left by his parents to his thoughts, and he was a son of man in vain, how could he dislike his parents who died in the house?
