Chapter 78: There are many mosquito thieves

"In Hangzhou, there is a very big lake, called Qiantang Lake, the local people call it West Lake, there is a big mountain called Huiji Mountain not far from the West Lake, there is a little white snake in the Huiji Mountain to practice, one day, this little white snake was found by an eagle, so he swooped down and took the little white snake away, just when the eagle was ready to eat the little white snake, it was found by a farmer who was herding cattle, so the farmer used a stone to kill the eagle and saved the little white snake, and helped her treat the wound and then released into the mountains......"

"Wow, Brother Xiao Xu is telling a story again, go and take a seat!"

A group of children who surrounded the water softly dispersed with a bang, and all the stones and wood were squeezed in front of Chen Xu to sit down and start listening to the story quietly, leaving only Shui Qingrou alone for a long time before turning around to look at Chen Xu, and then gradually attracted by his story, and slowly walked to the side and sat down.

"The little white snake has been cultivated for thousands of years and finally succeeded, in order to repay the farmer's life-saving grace, she became a beautiful woman, named Bai Suzhen came to Qiantang County, and found the farmer who saved him, and thousands of years have passed, the farmer has been reincarnated and turned into a handsome and elegant young offspring, named Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen took her maid Xiaoqingyu to the West Lake, and then took the same boat to avoid the rain......"

In later generations, Taiwan filmed a popular TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" in the entire Chinese circle, even people who do not know the ancient story of the White Snake very well, are almost familiar with the plot of the TV series, Chen Xu pieced together according to the memories of his previous life, and began to tell the legend of the New White Lady that he had adapted, except for the details, there is no problem with the general outline.

With Chen Xu's narration, everyone was fascinated by it.

In this era when entertainment is basically zero, things like myths or novels are not yet systematic, and even cultural people like Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, who are full of poetry and books, have never heard of it, let alone a group of illiterate mountain and wild people.

It was so quiet that no one even dared to breathe or cough.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Chen Xu without blinking, for fear that he would miss even a word by negligence for a while.

This lecture was again close to an hour.

The night is like water, the sky is low, the stars are flowing, and there are many mosquitoes and thieves.

"That Bai Suzhen lost all her mana after drinking the realgar wine, and she could no longer control herself to reveal her original form, it was really a big white snake a hundred zhang long, and her maid Xiaoqing was also revealed in her original form, turning into a big green snake dozens of zhang long, Xu Xian saw it through the window, and was scared to death on the spot!"

Chen Xu slapped his cheek with a snap, and the huge folding fan was put away and said, "Okay, it's getting late, that's all for today's story, let's go back to sleep!" ”

"What? This...... That's it? Niu Dashi stammered and grabbed Chen Xu's arm.

And everyone was also listening to the dementia, where would they let it go, come back to their senses and shout together, even Yu Wuya urged him to speak quickly.

"It's not over yet, but it's too late, I'll talk about Bai Suzhen stealing the fairy grass to save Xu Xian tomorrow, let's go to sleep!"

Chen Xu naturally won't give in easily, just kidding, he speaks by himself with a dry mouth, and there is not even a person next to him who delivers water, the treatment is too bad!

"Are you saying Xu Xian is not dead?" Yu Wuya hurriedly asked.

"Of course, there are not only Bai Suzhen stealing fairy grass in the back, but also Shuiman Jinshan Temple and Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda, and I can't finish talking about it until dawn!"

"Alright, let's go back to bed, we have to harvest wheat tomorrow!" Uncle Ma stood up and waved his hand, and everyone could only stand up reluctantly, holding the sleeping child, carrying a water cup and a bench and dragging the family away.

"Whew~" Seeing everyone leave one after another, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, poured a cup of herbal tea and began to moisten his throat.

"Xing'er, take Sister Shui to wash up, and sleep in my brother's room today!" Chen Jiang instructed while cleaning up the bench water glass.

"Sister Water come with me!" Apricot pulled the water and gently entered the room.

In the room where Chen Xu sleeps on weekdays, there is a small pine light.

In front of the window was a rough wooden table, full of all kinds of strange things, a cannon car made of bamboo, a mobile phone ship made of wood, and a laptop made of bamboo spliced in the style of opening and placed in the center, and the screen was hotly printed with two large simplified characters of chicken.

A clay basin contained half a basin of water, and the water gently dipped some water in a fine linen cloth to wipe his body side by side, took out a set of thin sleeveless obscene clothes from the package and put it on, and then looked at a big bamboo bed and hesitated for a long time before sitting on it.

The furnishings on the bed are very simple, because it is summer, and there is no bedding or anything, only a sheet made of thin burlap, which is rolled together and thrown in the corner, and the pillow is newly made of cattails, and it exudes a faint smell of grass.

"Sister Shui, I'll help you put down the mosquito net!"

Xing'er gently pulled a hemp rope hanging from the beam with her hand, only to hear the hula, several rolls of fine curtains woven with fine bamboo silk hung down, just enough to cover the bamboo bed in the middle, and the bamboo bed became an independent world in an instant.

Shui Qingqing closed her mouth in surprise, looked up at the beams, and found that the ceiling had been sealed with green bamboo, and the bamboo curtains that had just fallen were rolled up on the ceiling.

"Hehe, Sister Shui, it's fun, this is also my brother's invention, my mother and I helped weave it for two days, we also have this mosquito net on the bed, put it down, you don't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes in the middle of the night, when you get up tomorrow morning, you pull another rope, and these bamboo curtains will be rolled up!"

Xing'er explained proudly, then walked to the window and pulled it casually, and a bamboo shutter also hung down to block the window, but it still left gaps to ensure indoor ventilation.

After finishing it, Xing'er left the room with a basin of water to blow out Songming, closed the door with her hand, and the room instantly fell into darkness, and only the faint light of the stars and moon could be seen peeking out of the cracks in the shutters.

"How the hell did he come up with these things? How did you do it? In the dark, Shui sat softly on the bamboo bed, gently caressing the fine bamboo curtain with his hand, and felt that he couldn't sleep at all.

Seeing that the fire in Chen Jiang's room was also extinguished, and Xing'er and Niang had already slept peacefully, Chen Xu and Yu Wuya went to rinse with water indiscriminately, and then spread two straw-woven mats on the floor of the living room, lit a few sun-dried mugwort rods and clothes and lay down directly and said, "Close the door, let's sleep in the living room!" ”

It's the hottest summer, so it's okay to sleep outside, but there are too many mosquitoes outside.
