The courtyard gradually quieted down, the lanterns had been re-hung, the bonfire was still burning, and Mrs. Xie was still sitting on the ground, looking out of the door with a flickering expression, looking at the girls who were dancing away surrounded by everyone.

Miss......

Xie Rouhui......

No, she's not.

Mrs. Xie shook her head slowly.

She's not Megumi, she's not Megumi.

How did she get here? What about Megumii? What about her favors?

Mrs. Xie jumped up and looked behind her.

Xie Wenchang was shouting for people to follow him out of the city, while Song and the others were busy in the house.

"What about Xie Wenxing?" Mrs. Xie asked.

Xie Wenchang hurriedly waved his hand away from the steward.

"Big brother followed Megumi with him." He said, "It turns out that sister-in-law, you let Huihui jump, Huihui jumped really well." ”

I didn't!

Besides, she's not Megumi either!

Xie Wenxing!

Mrs. Xie thought of something, and raised her feet to run.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! The Shao and Song families in the room shouted urgently, "Come on, come on, the old lady is out of breath!" ”

Not gasping?

Mrs. Xie paused, looked at the study with a secret passage in the distance, and then looked at the room where Mrs. Xie was.

Megumi ...

Mother....

She gritted her teeth and ran to Old Madam Xie's house.

"What's going on?"

"Da Da has worked! The old lady stopped panting. ”

Did Da Da work?

Did it really work? So fast? How is this possible!

The team has just left the gate of Xie's house, right?

The Xie family's mansion was quiet, the lights were bright, and the originally quiet streets were noisy late at night.

Those who returned late, those who sat in the night restaurant to eat, looked over in amazement, only to see the torches at the end of the street, the surging crowd moving slowly, and the drums beating the night dullly.

What's going on?

"Dada! Miss Xie is chasing the epidemic! ”

Soon there was a loud shout, and the shout swept through the streets with the night wind, and spread half the city, and the quiet night suddenly boiled.

The post station located outside the city was still quiet as usual at this time, and the sound of small footsteps sounded outside the door, and after a slight pause, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Your Highness." The scribe whispered outside.

There was a sound of humming from inside the door, and the scribe pushed the door in, and saw the king of Dongping, dressed in plain white and obscene clothes, sitting at the head of the bed reading as always.

"Your Highness, let's leave the day after tomorrow, do you really leave the prince here?" The scribe asked.

"We came to congratulate the Xie family on the third day of March, and I also added glory to them according to the emperor's wishes, and now that the Xie family's sacrifice has been completed, the rest is not my responsibility." Dongping County King said.

In other words, he will no longer restrain and take care of Zhou Chengzhen.

"Then in case the prince gets into trouble." The scribe said.

will definitely cause trouble, in just a short time here, he was beaten twice, and another time should have been beaten, that is, when he laughed at Miss Xie as a dancer on the street, thanks to Miss Xie's good temper.

If there is no restraint from the county king, he may be left alone here, and something may happen

The king of Dongping County hummed.

"That's his business, he's not a kid anymore." He said, looking up, "Even if you are a child, you have to take responsibility for what you do." ”

The scribe smiled.

"The prince is actually measured." He said.

"If he hadn't been measured, he wouldn't have lived today." Dongping County King said.

The scribe replied.

"Oh yes, Your Highness, you brought a little girl in the car when you came back?" He asked, "Nobody told me, I saw them scrubbing the carriage, and I wondered how it got dirty, and they said that someone was hitchhiking, and it was a child from the mountains." ”

The king of Dongping looked at him.

"How?" He asked.

The scribe smiled.

"Not much, my subordinates are just curious." He laughed.

"Nothing to be curious about." Dongping Junwang said, "She wants a ride, and there is no inconvenience with me." ”

"Your Highness is a kind-hearted person." The scribe laughed.

King Dongping smiled.

"Kindness? It is harmless to be harmless, and everyone can be kind. He said, lowered his head and continued to read, only to take a look, and then he heard the faint sound of drums, flashing in the night wind, he raised his head and frowned slightly.

"Oh, the Shicai County Ya sent someone to say that the Xie family is going to have a big bang tonight." The scribe hurriedly said.

Big Da?

"Why now? Something happened to the Xie family? King Dongping asked.

"Yes." The scribe nodded, "The old lady of the Xie family is sick, and I heard that it is very strict, so the children are filial piety and have to do a ritual." ”

The king of Dongping County sighed, looking thoughtful.

"Does Your Highness want to take a look?" The scribe asked, "I still don't believe it, but after watching the third day of March, this Xie family's sacrifice is quite shocking." ”

The king of Dongping County hummed and stood up.

The scribe turned around and called for someone to change his clothes, but before he could shout, he saw that the king of Dongping had already taken off his cloak and strode out.

In such a hurry? The scribe was stunned, and was he dressed in profane clothes?

Well, it's so informal, no one sees it in the night anyway, who cares if you're brocade or naked.

The scribe smiled again and followed.

The drums were beating around him, and the shouts and cheers were uniform, and it seemed that the people of Pengshui City poured out in the middle of the night.

The long straw rope that Xie Roujia had woven along the way in the carriage had not burned much, and the river in front of her was faintly visible.

The drums became more and more intense, and Xie Roujia swirled, and the straw rope swirled on the torches held around her, throwing sparks one after another in the air.

Dozens of boys had completely lost their resistance along the way, some crying and some wailing and standing in a panic, and kept retreating as Xie Roujia approached.

"These people are really engaged."

The scribe, who was standing in the carriage from a distance and could see clearly through the crowd, couldn't help but say.

"It's not acting, it's being in it." The king of Dongping said, the night wind lifted his cloak, and the plain white clothes looming in front of him against the background of the torches in front of him.

"In it?" The scribe said, frowning and looking over, "Why are you in it?" ”

"Because of witchcraft." Dongping County King said.

Look at the girls in the crowd who seem to never tire of dancing.

The book says that some of the great witches looked sick and weak, but they were able to walk like flying for three days without getting tired during the sacrifice.

This is the power of witches.

"The current eldest lady of the Xie family is no longer the eldest lady of the Xie family, but please God to come up, I believe that she can drive away misfortune and jump for more than three days and three nights." He continued, pausing again, "But it's interesting." ”

"What's interesting?" The scribe asked.

"The eldest lady of the Xie family was a kind of person when she was a witch, and she was a ...... when she was a person," said the king of Dongping County, and his voice stopped abruptly when he said this, and at the same time, there was a sudden uproar in the field.

The dancing girl by the river burned the straw rope on her body and circled quickly.

Her whole body was like being surrounded by fire, and she was unstoppable everywhere she went.

The surrounding crowd was frenzied, stomping their heels and roaring in unison to the fierce beat of drums.

The girl was bright and dazzling in the firelight, and her long hair and her coarse linen clothes were dazzling.

Even the scribe who had been listening intently to the king of Dongping couldn't help but be fascinated.

The exorcism has reached its final moments.

The approaching Great Witch, the enthusiastic people, and dozens of boys were on the verge of collapse, and they retreated step by step to the river, as if they were about to jump in.

But at that moment, the dancing girls forced the boys back away from the river, and swirled over their heads with a rope of grass that had almost burned out in their hands.

Xie Roujia seemed to see countless dooms condense with the whirling of the grass rope.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let my grandmother go.

But suddenly, her figure froze, and the straw rope in her hand shook uncontrollably, falling at the same time.

No, no, if you interrupt at this time, you will lose all your efforts.

Xie Roujia raised her hand vigorously, but it seemed that a boulder had fallen heavily on her hand.

What's going on? What's going on?

She looked up and saw what seemed to be a dark shadow in the night sky.

Not leaving? Not leaving? Can't get rid of it?

How can it be? How can it be?

The rope of straw finally burned into her hand, and the pain caused her to let out a roar.

"Chase!"

The straw rope was finally thrown out.

With her movements and shouts, countless torches were thrown into the river.

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

When the torches fell into the river, the frenzied crowd shouted excitedly, dancing and singing and dancing by the river, while the boys were drenched in sweat and collapsed to the ground.

The scribe also let out a long breath.

"It's so pretty." He said, turning his head to look at the king of Dongping County, "The Da Da epidemic expelled in the ancient book is such a spectacular thing." ”

The king of Dongping looked at the people by the river, the crowd was dense and cheering, but the girl stood by the river, and she looked lonely under the sparkling light of the fire.

"Your Highness, you just didn't understand what the eldest lady of the Xie family looked like when she was a witch, and what she was when she was a human?" The scribe asked again.

"Nothing." King Dongping said, "I see. ”

Got it? The scribe asked again.

"I know what Zhou Chengzhen meant when she said that time, she thought that this eldest lady of the Xie family was a little familiar." Dongping County King said.

What do you mean?

Isn't it familiar to know Miss Xie on March 3?

The scribe frowned, but he knew the character of the king of Dongping, if he wanted to say it, he would say it, and when he didn't want to say it, it was useless for anyone to ask.

He didn't ask any more questions, and looked at the jubilant crowd again.

"Da Da is over, and it's perfect." He sighed.

King Dongping frowned slightly and shook his head.

"Then why does she look unhappy?" He said.

Out of sorts? Who isn't happy?

The scribe looked intently, and said, how can this black thing be unhappy?

His thoughts flashed before he saw the girl who had just finished the Da Da ceremony running through the crowd and walking towards the city over the bustle and bustle.
