Chapter 12: The Wind Cutter
Hearing her brother say that she was ignorant, Ah Xia was extremely aggrieved and said, "Brother, I know you like Yue Xiaorong, but now that she is married to someone else, you will die of this heart." ”
Everyone present was quiet, Meng Chujiu's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "What nonsense!" ”
The other people who heard it were also very embarrassed, although they were all melon-eating people, but the melons of the village owner could not be eaten casually.
After Chen Zheng listened to Ah Xia's words, he looked Meng Chujiu up and down, this sturdy young man, still wants to pursue Yue Xiaorong?
Also, what did Ah Xia say just now? Do you mean "marry"?
Although he is a father-in-law, he is also a man, how can he say "marry"?
"Why can't I win it back at night when she wears a needle and wins my brometto?" Ah Xia said stubbornly.
"Go home!" Meng Chujiu dragged Ah Xia back.
Ah Xia broke free and said, "Brother, today is our woman's holiday, don't worry about me." ”
Since Chen Zheng heard that Meng Chujiu also liked Yue Xiaorong, he looked at him unpleasantly, and after listening to Ah Xia's words at this time, he said: "That's right, today is a woman's festival, don't make trouble here." ”
Meng Chujiu didn't seem to be used to Chen Zheng, so he snorted coldly and said, "Then what are you doing here?" ”
"I'll cheer for my lady!" Chen Zheng said as a matter of course, and stood beside Yue Xiaorong.
Meng Chujiu frowned, seemed to be on the same page as Chen Zheng, and said, "I'll also cheer for my sister!" ”
After listening to this, Ah Xia's face turned happy, she grabbed Meng Chujiu's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you agree with me to compare the lamp with the owner of the village?" ”
Meng Chujiu was stunned, and suddenly regretted it in his heart, he was impulsive!
"Owner, then we'll see you in the evening!" Ah Xia said to Yue Xiaorong, holding Meng Chujiu's arm and leaving.
"Wait!" Chen Zheng opened his mouth to stop.
Ah Xia turned her head and said, "What?" Don't you dare to compare? ”
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it's not that I don't dare to compare, but since it's a competition, of course, we must also set the lottery." ”
"And what do you use to make lottery heads?" Ah Xia asked.
Chen Zheng looked at Yue Xiaorong, after all, this family was owned by her, Yue Xiaorong pointed to the phoenix hairpin on her head and said, "Let's use this." ”
"You can't fool around with a brocade anymore, you have to match my lady's phoenix hairpin." Chen Zheng hurriedly said.
Ah Xia is in trouble, she has nothing that can compare to this phoenix hairpin.
"Use my Wind Cutter." Meng Chujiu said.
"No, brother, that's your baby!" Ah Xia said urgently.
Meng Chujiu smiled and said, "You are my brother's baby, and my brother will not let you be wronged." ”
The brother and sister left like this, Chen Zheng turned to look at Yue Xiaorong, and found that the other party's face seemed to have changed a little, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Lady, is the wind cutting knife okay?" ”
Yue Xiaorong nodded and said to Chen Zheng, "What are we going to compare with Ah Xia?" ”
"Don't worry, I've been prepared." Chen Zheng said confidently.
Yue Xiaorong stared at Chen Zheng for a long time and said, "Thank you, Xianggong!" I haven't seen that wind slasher in a long time. ”
Chen Zheng still wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing that Yue Xiaorong was not in high spirits, he didn't speak, and the two returned home together, preparing to fight the lanterns at night.
As night fell, the prayer lanterns of each family were hung out one after another.
The women came out in groups, admiring the prayer lanterns of each house along the way, pointing and commenting.
When they came to the door of Ah Xia's house, a group of women exclaimed again and again.
Ah Xia deserves to be the leader of the begging festival year after year, and her prayer lantern is really beautiful.
This prayer lantern is shaped like a six-sided six-sided blessing lantern, with different patterns pasted on each side, and it looks very good when lit.
"It's worthy of a skillful Ah Xia, this lamp is so beautiful!"
"No wonder you have the confidence to compare the lights with the owner of the village, you really have the strength!"
"Great, great!"
Ah Xia listened to everyone's perfection with a smug look on her face.
Just then, the crowd exclaimed again.
"Look, it's so bright over there!"
"It's as bright as day, it seems to be the direction of the owner's house."
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!"
Hula a group of people squeezed in the direction of Yue Xiaorong's house.
"Brother, let's go over and have a look." Ah Xia said.
Meng Chujiu nodded: "You wait for me, I'll go get the Wind Slashing Knife." ”
Ah Xia was still full of confidence before, but after seeing the light in the distance, she couldn't help muttering a little in her heart.
Could it be that the prayer lantern made by the owner of the village is really better than his own?
"Don't think about it, just go and see." Meng Chujiu rubbed Ah Xia's head.
Ah Xia followed behind Meng Chujiu and said, "Brother, I suddenly regretted it a little and didn't want to compare." ”
"Why?" Meng Chujiu turned around and asked.
"I'm afraid I'll lose my brother's slash." Ah Xia worried.
Meng Chujiu grinned: "It's just a knife, if you lose, you lose." It's you, you have to change your competitive personality in the future, she is the owner of the village after all. ”
Ah Xia pursed her lips and said, "Got it." ”
When Meng Chujiu and A Xia came to Yue Xiaorong's house, there was already a group of people gathered there, and it was very lively.
Meng Chujiu opened the way, and the two of them squeezed to the front very easily.
Then, the two looked at the prayer lantern in front of them and froze.
I saw this lamp, the upper and lower layers, under the pull of Chen Zheng's crutch handle, rotating in the opposite direction.
The shape of the lamp is an eight-sided gossip lamp, which is better than Ah Xia's six-edged six-sided Fushou lamp.
On the lamp, a variety of legends and stories are drawn, with concise lines and lively and vivid.
The upper three lamps are the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Liang Zhuhua Butterfly, and the White Snake repay the favor, and the lower four lamps are painted with Chang'e running to the moon, Tianxian matching, Yingying Chuan, and peacock flying southeast.
The vivid stories express their yearning for love, and the onlookers are all crazy.
After a long while, Ah Xia suddenly said dejectedly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I lost." ”
"It's okay." Meng Chujiu comforted, "Our sons and daughters of Hongsong Village can afford to take it and put it down!" ”
After that, Meng Chujiu walked up to Chen Zheng and said, "We are willing to gamble and lose, and return the wind to the owner of the village." ”
Taking the wind chopper, Chen Zheng felt a sinking in his hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!" ”
Meng Chujiu's eyes still fell on the knife, and he said softly: "The wind is in your hand, I hope you can use it to protect the owner of the village." ”
"Don't worry about this, even if I don't cut the wind, I will." Chen Zhengdao.
"I hope so." Meng Chujiu is not very optimistic about Chen Zheng.
Meng Chujiu walked up to Ah Xia and said, "Go home." ”
This time, Ah Xia was very well-behaved, didn't say anything, followed behind Meng Chujiu, and left together.
Chen Zheng swept the wind slashing knife in his hand, and then looked at Meng Chujiu's back in the distance, and suddenly felt that he was not so annoying.
