After working for most of the day, the chimney was finally installed, Yao Chonghua clapped his hands, got up and went home, Bi Bo came to see what they did, and saw that Yao Chonghua had transformed the kiln strangely, I don't know what Yao Chonghua was doing when he dug a hole but blocked it with a bamboo, isn't this a superfluous move? Shaking his head and feeling that this is not good, but after an afternoon of adjustment, he can't say that he is lost, Chonghua boy is sensible, outsiders say that he is a saint, he also feels that his future is limitless, just put his life's wish on the body of a child, it is too difficult for a strong man, even if he can't see it in his life, but this mold-making method has been produced, and someone will be able to burn it out on this basis in the future, which is also a contribution.

Early the next morning, Yao Chonghua and Shen Tu Yulei got up before dawn to carry charcoal, hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of corn porridge, and set off with a few steamed cakes. ”

When he arrived at the kiln, he hadn't gotten up yet, and Jiu Yi was still sleeping at home, so Yao Chonghua started work directly, today is a day's time, he has to start burning quickly, the temperature of more than 800 needs to be burned for several days, but the temperature of 12 to 1,005 is a qualitative change, it is counterproductive to burn for a long time, the small clay pot is up to eight hours, and the thickness of the water tank is about 12 hours.

Shen Tu asked, "Shall we start like this?" Don't you need to ask the kiln god? ”

Yu Lei said: "Yes, they used to invite them to open the kiln. ”

"......" Yao Chonghua was speechless, even children obeyed the rules like this, "Then let's worship once." ”

Yao Chonghua led the two children to bow to the kiln, "Okay, let's start work." ”

Shen Tu and Yu Lei felt that this was too hasty, but Yao Chonghua looked like I didn't want to worship once, and they could only help Yao Chonghua kowtow a few more times.

Put the charcoal in place first, and then the three of them struggled to move the water tank in, Shen Tu insisted on lighting the fire by himself, and let the two younger brothers wait outside, this time it was not like digging a pit and burning the fire like two days ago, even if it offended the gods, let him bear it alone, Yao Chonghua couldn't resist him, and could only tell him how to make the charcoal burn.

Shen Tu took out the flint and found some dry branches that were easy to catch fire, he went in, carefully set up a small triangle with charcoal according to Yao Chonghua's statement, put in the dry branches, and the flint was beaten, and the fire started.

The three of them waited quietly, and after less than half a cup of tea, they could clearly feel the rise in temperature, and then they needed to add to the fire.

When Jiu Yi came, there was one less model of the water tank in the yard, and the bamboo chimney had already emitted black smoke, and when he looked through the kiln door, he knew that there was already a fire, "What are you doing?" Really on fire? ”

Without waiting for the children to speak, he ran to the door of the kiln and stretched his head inside, and there was no fire in the kiln, only the burning red black charcoal on the ground, and the temperature was very high, and he felt like sweating as soon as he got close.

Jiu Yi scolded a few children loudly, "You guys are really messing around, Master said to let you play, and you will really burn it, can you burn out a few pieces of charcoal on the ground?" ”

As he spoke, he went to find a wooden stick and came over to stir up the charcoal inside, Yao Chonghua saw his posture, of course he couldn't agree, and hurriedly dragged him, "Charcoal is the key, I said that it can be burned, you can't interrupt." ”

"You...... You're wasting your time. ”

"It's also our business to waste time, Lao Bi said let us use it for two days, you can't stop me, anyway, you also said that these pieces of charcoal can't break the kiln."

Jiu Yi was blocked by Yao Chonghua, "Okay, okay, I don't care about you, anyway, before tomorrow, you take out the bamboo and fill the hole in the back." ”

Lao Bi was a little uncomfortable, and he had been resting in the house, and everyone didn't bother him, and Yao Chonghua and the three of them spent half a day safely.

It wasn't until later that a disciple reminded Jiuyi, "Senior brother, you came the earliest, did they worship the kiln god when they burned the kiln?" ”

This is a word to wake up the dreamer, in the morning by a few boys were confused, Jiu Yi only remembered now, those people did not worship the kiln god to open the kiln, he immediately went to Yao Chonghua to settle the account, "You are really bold enough, you didn't invite the gods to open the kiln, offended the gods, and the gods will condemn you." ”

As soon as Shen Di heard Jiu Yi coming over from a distance and said this, he hurriedly protected his younger brothers behind him, "I...... We have already worshipped God. ”

"Bye? How do you worship? The Great Chieftain pleased? Wu Zhu pleased? You're done with your own worship? The gods are so easy to invite, what are we still sacrificing? "If he offends the gods, if he goes to the kiln and can't burn good pottery anymore, how should they live, he must stop them.

"The Kiln God asked me to do this, he will bless me, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?" The superstition of this era is really serious, Yao Chonghua feels that heaven will win over heaven, since they believe in gods so much, then it is better to be the messenger of that god.

"You're still talking nonsense, I'll go tell Master."

Jiu Yi hurriedly ran to wake up Bi Bo, Bi Bo also hurried over when he heard this, yesterday he thought that they would not do anything excessive, but today he was disrespectful to the gods, "Children, what are you doing here?" If you don't worship the god of the kiln, the kiln will collapse, so stop the fire quickly. ”

"Lao Bi, I can't stop, and I'll be out of the kiln in half a day." Even if the old man comes, he can't stop.

Jiu Yi said: "The gods will not let mortals destroy the kiln, you dug a hole in the kiln yesterday, and today you opened the kiln without inviting the kiln god, it is a great disrespect for you to offend the gods, you should be sacrificed to the kiln, so that the kiln god will be angry." ”

"Sacrificial kiln?" Yu Lei was a little panicked, and Shen Tu grabbed the hands of the two of them tightly, "We are nobles, you can't do this." ”

Yes, they are nobles, although they are approachable and used to playing with them, but there is still a difference in status.

"You...... You are a nobleman Yao Chonghua but you are not, then use him as a sacrifice. After speaking, he ran over, grabbed Yao Chonghua's shoulder, picked him up, and rushed towards the hot kiln.

Yao Chonghua reacted and struggled desperately, Shen Di and Yu Lei dragged Jiu Yi hard, preventing Jiu Yi from throwing Yao Chonghua into the fire: "If you want to hurt Ah Hua, you should step over my corpse first." ”

The situation changed so quickly that Bi Bo couldn't react a little, "Stop Jiuyao, what are you doing like this?" Stop it. ”

"Master, he is a scourge, and he must be destroyed." Jiu Yi didn't let go, Yao Chonghua took the opportunity to bite Jiu Yao hard, Jiu Yao was in pain, and had to let go of Yao Chonghua.

Yao Chonghua wanted to run when he landed, Jiu Yi grabbed his shoulder again despite the pain, Yao Chonghua couldn't run, Bi Bo hurriedly came over to dissuade him, but was pushed to the ground by Jiu Yi's backhand, Bi Yi was already uncomfortable, and he couldn't get up when he was pushed by Jiu Yao.

Jiu Yi also saw that others were a little cautious, but they still treated the master with great respect, so he immediately let go of Yao Chonghua and came over to help him to sit down on the steps.

Bi Bi didn't want to offend the gods, but if he really wanted to let such a cute child go to the sacrifice kiln, he couldn't bear it, and persuaded Jiu Yao: "Jiu Yao, it's too cruel to take people to sacrifice to the kiln, go and bring out the cattle and sheep in the prison, then it will be sacrificed." ”

"Master, are you just letting them do whatever they want?"

"Go."

Jiu Yi listened to Bi and went to lead the sheep out, but he was very unconvinced, and left a sentence, "I'll go to the big leader to tell me justice." Then he turned and went out.

Today Gao Tao went to the Chun clan near Longshan, Jiuyao went to the kiln for a long time and did not come back, but during the period no one came to Bi Bao kiln to find Yao Chonghua to settle accounts, Yao Chonghua did not understand at first, where did he offend them, but after listening to a few more words, it turned out that when Jiu Yao Road met pedestrians, Yao Chonghua opened the kiln without asking God to say again, everyone knows that yesterday's Bi kiln water tank firing failed, but I don't know that Yao Chonghua borrowed the kiln for two days to burn the water tank, the whole Dongyi pottery is good, They thought it was all the favor of the gods, and when they heard that someone disrespected their kiln god, they had to fight a good fight, so they gathered here.

"Yao Chonghua, you dare to be disrespectful to the kiln god, we will not let you go."

"Lao Bi Bo actually connived at him to do this kind of thing, you are our elder, don't you understand this truth?"

"Take his head and sacrifice it, and ask the kiln god to forgive his sins."

……

In the hustle and bustle, Ren Ding also heard the news and dared to come, seeing Bi Bo and them maneuvering around, the disciples of Bi Bo Kiln listened to Bi Bo's instructions and helped stop the crowd, but someone was already getting closer and closer to Yao Chonghua, she hurriedly walked to the side of a few children, Shen Tu and Yu Lei were afraid that they would catch Yao Chonghua like Jiu Yao, so they protected him behind him, but the crowd was getting closer and closer, and they were almost forced to the kiln door, "Tell me, what is going on?" ”

"Mother, we just want to make a water tank, and we don't want to offend the gods."

Bi Bo here is a little unbearable, "We have to Yao Chonghua sacrifice kiln today." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, several big men were looking at him with fierce eyes, Ren Ding's mother's love attacked, glared back angrily, and blocked the front to protect the children, even if it was a sacrifice, it was impossible to take a living sacrifice, where was the evil wind blowing to pick out the customs that Dongyi had not had for decades?

Yao Chonghua felt that this would not work, and instead of letting them press step by step, it was better to take the initiative to attack.

Thinking so, he climbed to the only high place next to him and shouted, "Stop, stop, and listen to me." ”

The voices of the crowd were a little quieter, and when they saw the thin Yao Chonghua standing there with a firm face, a tall and thin man asked him, "What did you tell us to stop and talk to?" You are disrespectful to the kiln god, and we will not listen to anything you say. ”

"Yes, don't quibble." A fat man chimed in.

"Then listen to my words before I die." These people are really endless, don't fool them over, the water tank can't be burned, no way, I'm telling a lie, "I burned the kiln today to make the water tank, isn't this what you want?" Although we didn't invite Wu Zhu to invite God when we opened the kiln, it was the kiln god's order to insist on opening it, and he would bless the burning of today's water tank. ”

"What if it doesn't burn?"

"That's him lying to us, cutting off his head."

After the fat man finished speaking, he approached him, but Yao Chonghua was on the pyre, and he couldn't retreat, "Hey, don't be impulsive, the kiln has already been opened anyway, and it's not too late for you to wait for the water tank to come out and then cut my head." "It's a bet on the head, and I'm getting bolder.

The thin man said: "It took five days to burn the kiln last time, and the longer we wait, the heavier the resentment of the kiln god." ”

Yao Chonghua replied: "They all said that the kiln god asked me to do this, and he will not be resentful." ”

The fat man asked, "What if you run away in the past five days?" ”

Yao Chonghua: "In less than five days, I will be able to leave the kiln tonight." ”

The thin man didn't believe it: "You have only burned for a day, it's like going out of the kiln, it's really a fool's dream, he is lying to us." O brothers, take him by the gods of the kiln. ”

As soon as his call was finished, several people stepped forward to pull Yao Chonghua off the pyre.

At this critical moment, a firm and loud voice remembered in the rear: "I see who dares." ”
