Chapter 9: Strange Pictures
The fire that night made the mallet and grinding disc that had fled in advance because of the hatred of Shi Zhongtian just now, and the and urine were all lost, and the screams and lungs of help were heard from afar, and they were so frightened that they were stupid. In the future, whenever the mallet and the millstone closed their eyes, they were all in the flames,
Within two months there were two more madmen in the city, shouting all day long not to come to me.
The next day, when everyone in the city knew that Shi Zhongtian and his gang were burned to death in the Land Temple, the whole city presented a strong New Year's atmosphere, firecrackers rang out, and people rushed to complain. At the same time, it is said in the city that the land lord of the land temple has appeared and received a group of demons from Shi Zhongtian. Some people even say that they saw the red light of the Land Temple shining with their own eyes. Various versions of the legend scrambled to come out, and the dilapidated land temple was also renovated at the expense of the people in the city, and the incense in the temple slowly flourished.
The government was also busy, and sent a catcher to rush to the Land Temple, and after checking it, he learned that there were more than 20 corpses inside, all of which were scorched, and there were only three courtyard walls left in the Land Temple, and even the earthen courtyard wall was burned to a whole brick.
More than 20 people were burned, which became a major case in the history of Jizhou, and the government immediately closed the city gates and searched for suspicious people all over the city.
And the real perpetrator took this group of beggars to the pier outside the east gate early. On the dock, Li Ren looked at Li Hai and the other beggars and said, "Brother Ren, what are you going to do in the future?" Do you still have to beg for a living? ”
Lehi thought about the events of these days, and looked at his sister. I thought: 'Yes, what will I do in the future, my sister will grow up day by day, and in the end she will not be able to hide.' In the future, I will never be as lucky as I am now, and I will meet such a bold person as Eun Gong. If this life continues, we beggars will only die one after another. Thinking of this, Li Hai looked at Liren and said, "Engong, after I wait for this incident, I don't know how to live again." Being a beggar is a helpless move, if there are a variety of choices, we are willing to follow the favor of the father, as a slave and a maid. ”
After saying this, Lehi knelt down, and the beggars saw that Lehi was begging for their future life and begging for mercy to take him in. They also knelt down in unison and said loudly: "Please take me in!" Li Zhuan saw his brother and the beggars praying for Liren's take-in, and slowly knelt down to Liren with tears in his eyes: "Engong, it was originally a slow child's mistake, please don't take it to heart, if Engong takes me in, I, Li Shu'er, swear, serve Engong."
Liren picked up Li Shu with both hands and said: "Everyone, please get up, I Liren He De and how can I appreciate it." ”
As soon as Li Hai saw that there was a door, he immediately changed his words: "My lord, the fire burned Shi Zhongtian, and returned the people of Jizhou to a peaceful world, and there are few people in the world who can do it." Please also ask the lord not to give up and take me in. The beggars also changed their words with Lehi: "Please take me in, my lord." ”
Li Ren saw that the matter was almost at this point, and laughed: "I'm not as good as you say, since you don't dislike me Liren, then I'll accept you, but I'll call me boss in the future." ”
As soon as Li Hai and the beggars heard it, they fell to the ground again: "Boss Xie takes it in." ”
Li Ren unconsciously grabbed Li Yuan's left hand at this time, and laughed, "Everyone, please get up." Li Xuan wanted to struggle, but remembered what he had just said about being a slave and a slave, so he blushed and dealt with it calmly.
On the shore next to the two medium-sized building boats, a young man wearing a Chinese costume and a square scarf pulled a beggar to stand, and behind him a young man wearing a Confucian costume and a sword at his waist and two bodyguards wearing strong suits and carrying long knives at his waist, kneeling in front of him a group of beggars, and this group of beggars also cheered deeply.
At this time, there was a young scholar on the boat, and he drew this strange picture. His friends said, "What's so good about this, isn't it just a group of beggars worshipping a beggar's head." The young scholar smiled and said, "This person will have great talent in the future, and I will be able to reuse this person with today's paintings." ”
His friend shook his head and said, "I don't know why." You're crazy on the shore, you're crazy too, and so are you. ”
Since then, the young scholar has won the nickname of a madman.
Liren accepted all the beggars, and Lixin, Yang Hu, and Yang Leopard. Patiently waiting for my mother to arrive.
The car of the distant mother Yang Xiuniang slowly drove in front of Liren and everyone, the maid put down a stool to get out of the car, opened the curtain of the wheel, and the mother Yang Xiuniang got out of the car luxuriously. Liren, Lixin and Yang Hu and Yang Bao hugged each other and bowed: "I've seen my mother." ”
Mother Yang Xiuniang came to Liren and Lixin, touched Liren's face, touched Lixin's face, and then looked at Yang Hu and Yang Bao and said softly: "Children, hearing what you did, my mother didn't make trouble for you, but I was still worried about killing me, you are okay, it's okay." ”
Li Ren took his mother Yang Xiuniang to Li Hai, Li Chuan and the beggars and introduced: "Mother, this is the person the child wants to save,"
Li Hai, Li Yuan and the others saw that Liren's mother, Yang Xiuniang, came to them. Immediately knelt on his knees: "I've seen Madame." ”
Mother Yang Xiuniang saw these two dozen people, the oldest was in his teens and the youngest was a few years old, all of them were unclothed and thin. Compassion suddenly rose: "Children, get up quickly, don't do this. Hurriedly instructed the maid and said, "Dongmei, go and take out the extra new clothes that you, Ren'er, and Xin'er have brought, and put them on after these hard-working children go to the boat to freshen up." ”
"Yes, ma'am!"
The maid Dongmei gently greeted these hard-working children: "Everyone come on the boat with me, go and freshen up." When the beggars heard that they were to be given new clothes, they rejoiced.
After the beggars got on the boat, only Lixin and other relatives were left on the shore. Mother Yang Xiuniang said to Li Ren sternly: "Ren'er, you take your brother to mess around for a day, if it weren't for the fact that your mother would have known you a long time ago, you wouldn't have been scared to death." ”
Li Ren hugged and bowed to his mother, Yang Xiuniang, and said, "Mother is worried, but you also know that the children just can't get used to those tyrants in the township. Besides, don't you also see that the people we have saved should be saved? ”
Mother Yang Xiuniang was asked by Liren, thought about it carefully, and then touched Liren's head and said softly: "My son has grown up." ”
Li Ren and his mother Yang Xiuniang walked ahead, and Li Xin and others got on the boat.
Mother Yang Xiuniang and Li Ren sat down in the cabin, and after drinking tea, the maid reported: "Young Mrs. Yu, the two brothers and sisters Li Hai and Li Shu have come to visit. ”
Mother Yang Xiuniang sat upright and said, "Please." ”
At this time, Li Ren saw a handsome young man wearing a blue Confucian costume and a white scarf, and Li Ren admired in his heart: "What a young man, I didn't see it at that time, and I lost my eyes." ’
Beside this handsome young man, there was a man wearing a light green skirt, with loose fringed hair, and his original gray face was replaced by fair and delicate skin, plus big eyes, a tall nose, melon-shaped cheeks and a sexy little mouth.
Rihito was dumbfounded, and thought, 'It's good to bring her back, or it's a pity.' ’
After the two siblings appeared, Liren burst into laughter, which made everyone baffled. Mother Yang Xiuniang and Li Xin coughed twice in embarrassment, which made Li Ren return to normal.
