Chapter 53: Disaster from Heaven

Yun Er said helplessly: "It's really curiosity that kills the cat, where do you get so many wonderful ideas all day long?" You can't see my eldest brother every time he comes back like a broken bone lying on the chair without moving, when Mr. goes home, let's go to say hello, he is also full of tiredness, I want to go to you, I won't go, tomorrow I will go to Daci Temple to see Wu Daozi's clothes and wind, Huang Quan's freehand brushwork, this is Mr. Peng Li's homework for us, I don't want to be scolded, and I don't want to be reprimanded by my sister-in-law. ”

"O boring man, I can't see the wonders of the world, if I am like a cloud, I should be free, if I am like the sun, I will scorch the earth, if I am for the rain, I will be wanton."

"If you were shit, you would use it to nourish the earth, wouldn't you?" Yun Er replied casually and planned to continue reading.

Su Shi dragged him out from behind the desk and said, "You care about me, it's still early, it's frosty this morning, and the frozen bamboo is not easy to crack, let's go to the bamboo forest to find the right bamboo to make bamboo Xiao, okay?" Your sister-in-law is stingy, and she won't give her Xiao blow. ”

Yun Er broke away from Su Shi's hand and said: "You are less here, my sister-in-law's bamboo Xiao is a purple bamboo flute, very precious, we will waste it if we take it to blow, last time I stole it out and was blown by you everywhere with saliva, my sister-in-law has been distressed for several days, she is now pregnant with my nephew, I don't want her to be angry, you don't want to beat my sister-in-law Zizhu Xiao in the future." ”

Su Shi smiled and said: "So let's go get bamboo ourselves, don't wear leather clothes, put that thing on, be careful that Orion will beat you as a flower bear." ”

Yun Er had no choice but to sneak out of the side door of his house with Su Shi through the small garden.

There is a large piece of phoenix tail bamboo growing on the edge of Huanhua Creek, which is still verdant in the cold winter, and this place is also Yun Er and Su Shi, Su Zhe's paradise, I have been here countless times, and when I passed by the flower widow's house, I took away the firewood knife that I put on the wall, and then I went into the bamboo forest along the path.

The bamboo forest is very cold, mainly because there are water droplets condensed by cold mist on the bamboo leaves, touch the bamboo. The water beads fell down in a clatter, and fell on the neck and felt cold.

Su Shi himself was so cold that he put his teeth straight down, and said tremblingly: "It's really cold, if you come in leather clothes." Yun Eryi snatched the firewood knife and walked in front and said, "You are justified no matter what you say." Hurry up to find bamboo, the bamboo knots should be long, and the bamboo walls should be thick, otherwise it will be easy to crack when punching. ”

Su Shi tightened his neck, and the two of them looked for a lot of bamboo but didn't find a suitable one, phoenix tail bamboo is not suitable for bamboo Xiao, people generally use four-year-old purple bamboo or white bamboo, the two stupid boys are ignorant and fearless, thinking that they can make a bamboo with a long enough knot to take Xiao out.

The bamboo was cut down a lot, but it didn't work, and Yun Er angrily threw the firewood knife to the ground. He sat on a high platform and panted.

Su Shi pulled out the wet bamboo leaves scattered on the ground, revealing the dry bamboo leaves, and said, "Let's make a fire, it's cold to death." The two of them pulled a large pile of dried bamboo leaves from the ground, Su Shi took out a fire fold from his arms, shook it in the wind, and a ball of fire appeared on the cotton rope. I carefully lit the bamboo leaves, and I finally felt warmer.

Yun Er was very curious about the fire fold in Su Shi's hand, took it over and kept using the white copper hat to extinguish the flames, and then pulled it out and blew it to blow the spark into flames, and had a lot of fun.

Su Shi said proudly: "This is what I bought with my own money at the August Festival, and it was all made of wind-ground copper, which is very beautiful." According to the shopkeeper, there are not many people in Chengdu Mansion who have this thing, light it once, it can last for an hour, and the fire rope inside is soaked in fierce fire oil, fierce fire oil knows, I heard that the Western Regions and the Great Food only produced this thing. When I see the wind, it's a good thing, more than 400 yuan, I saved half a year's pocket money to buy this thing back. ”

The two of them were talking about the excitement, completely forgetting the fire that had just been lit. Before they knew it, the fire was spreading along the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and when the two of them felt very hot, they looked up to find that the fire was out of control.

Su Shi was in a hurry, picked up a bamboo branch and was about to put out the fire, but was stopped by Yun Eryi and said, "Hurry up, the fire is too big, we can't put it out." After speaking, he dragged Su Shi along the tuyere and rushed out.

The fire burned, and the bamboo itself was dry in winter, and with the help of the dead branches and leaves on the ground, the maroon flames rose to a height of ten feet......

"The bamboo is on fire!"

I don't know who shouted, all the neighbors in all directions drilled out of the house, and ran to the bamboo forest with all kinds of fire-extinguishing things, these bamboo forests are shared by everyone, and many people on weekdays are counting on these bamboo to make some bamboo utensils to live, where are they willing to let them be destroyed in a flash, experienced people naturally know how to rescue, while the fire did not burn over, first cut out a circle of open space in the bamboo forest, clean up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and then watched the fire in the future to save all the bamboo burned down.

The fire burned for two hours, and it was slowly extinguished when it was dark, and the Yun family, as the first leader here, naturally couldn't stay out of the matter, and the big guys were waiting for the eldest lady of the Yun family to come out and give an explanation to the big guy, someone saw Su Shi and Yun Er enter the bamboo forest, and after the fire, they escaped with wolves.

There is no need for people to report it, Lu Qingqing already knows that this bad thing was done by Yun Er and Su Shi, these two guys are now kneeling in the living room waiting to be dealt with, whether it is Lu Qingqing or Mrs. Su, they are all iron-faced, arson is not a fun thing, if the fire is bigger, the surrounding people will be implicated.

"Give me a good kneeling reflection, and I'll deal with you after I'm done dealing with the things outside." Lu Qingqing said a word hatefully, and went out of the house with Ge Qiuyan.

Lao Liao has already bought tea and snacks for the villagers, and the kind words will first stabilize people's hearts. When Lu Qingqing came out, the villagers also stood up to greet her, and the head of the official lady was stuck with the golden hairpin given by the queen's mother.

"All of you are high neighbors, the concubines are not strict in discipline, and the inferior brothers are reckless, causing trouble to everyone, and the concubines are here to compensate everyone." Lu Qingqing squatted slowly, Ge Qiuyan and Lao Liao in the back also squatted, clenching their fists, this is a big event, if you want to escape, you can't escape from it, only by lowering your body first to get everyone's forgiveness is serious, in the Great Song Dynasty, there have not been officials who are rampant around their hometowns, and lawless people have appeared.

An old man stood up and said: "The loss is not big, it is nothing more than a dozen acres of mangosteen, which is nothing to the capital supervisor's family, but the sons of the family must warn clearly, those who play with fire will burn themselves, be careful, this time there is no major incident is already a great luck." ”

Lao Liao stood up and said with a smile: "This is nature, this is nature, my little Langjun broke into a disaster and naturally the government will take care of it, the old man will calculate the loss, and convert it into money and grain according to the number of bamboo forest fires and distribute it to your neighbors. ”

The old man nodded and said: "The official family still has the style of the official family, since they are all neighbors, Xiao Langjun is also an unintentional mistake, remember not to play with fire in the bamboo forest in the future, since the house has already been treated, the old man will leave." ”

Lu Qingqing accompanied the smiling face and asked Lao Liao to send off the neighbors instead of him, and then returned to the hall angrily. Mrs. Su is already teaching Su Shi a lesson, grabbing Su Shi's little hand and hitting it with a bamboo board, Su Shi gritted his teeth in pain, tears were already rolling in his eyes, why did his mother not stop fighting today? In the past, it was only three or five hits at most.

Lu Qingqing persuaded: "Mrs. Su is angry, don't break his hand, this hand also has to hold a brush, both of them are literate and hyphenated, they have been taught by the saint since childhood, they should know what things can be done and those things cannot be done, and the concubine thinks that it is much better to ask them to copy scriptures than to deal with them in the family law." ”

Mrs. Su stopped her hand and said hatefully: "These two killers, the warm family doesn't have to go to the bamboo forest to bake the fire, so there is such a disaster, there is no man in the family, it just can't be done, let them turn the sky, my sister is a reasonable person, how to punish it, my sister listens." ”

Lu Qingqing said: "Gentlemen know that it is difficult to do easy things, since they have done such an ugly thing of self-surrender, they naturally have to copy it ten times, not only to copy the original text, but also to copy the annotations of the past dynasties!" ”

Yun Er groaned and said, "Sister-in-law, you should beat me on the board!" ”

"Shut up, if you make a mistake, what kind of bargaining do you have, if you don't change your flamboyant and jumpy temperament, you will get into more trouble in the future, Su Shi, you are not allowed to go home during this time, eat and live with Yun Yue, and you are only allowed to leave the study after the punishment is over." Cang'er, you look at them, dare to take a step out of the study, and break your legs. ”

Lu Qingqing said a word, Mrs. Su nodded once, and when she left, she hatefully nodded on Su Shi's head, and then took Banniang and Su Zhe back home.

The disgraced Yun Er and Su Zhe returned to the study, and closed the doors and windows tightly with a loud bang, and the two of them collapsed on the bed, afraid for a while, the fire just now was really bad......

Yun Er groaned and said: "Don't be afraid of transcribing, a total of 11,705 words is nothing to you and me, but annotation, do you plan to transcribe Han's annotation, or transcribe Wen Zhenggong's annotation?" Or are both commentaries transcribed? ”

Su Shi looked at his red and swollen left hand and said: "I decided to transcribe the annotation of Zhao Pu, the king of Han in this dynasty, the number of words is less, Yun Er, why does your sister-in-law have to talk too much, I will be hit with a dozen bamboo boards, and she will hurt me to take such a bamboo board in vain." Is it your sister-in-law? ”

Yun Er said slowly: "Han Wang Zhao Pu's annotations are not accepted by scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, thinking that his character is problematic, people have problems, and his knowledge is also problematic, my sister-in-law is a person who has read big books, and she can't be fooled, or honestly copy Han's annotations, it's great that we don't use a brush, use charcoal, and it will be completed soon......"
