Chapter 214: Rhetoric
The joke a month ago turned out to be a prophecy, and the owl in mid-air could really extinguish the fire, and the two people who knew about it were stunned in place.
"Look, what's that?"
"Birds, there are big birds."
"Mother, you see, the big bird can put out fires."
"The official family, God bless the official family, send the divine bird to help, I am blessed with the Great Song Dynasty."
Under the watchful eye of the crowd, the fat stealing bird keeps hovering back and forth in mid-air, a pair of red wings that are more than half a foot (about 2 meters) open, fanning to encourage the wind, extinguish the heat flame, and drive away the dense fog.
The commander who commanded the fire extinguishing saw that the "divine soldiers" came from the sky, and hurriedly shouted and asked the submarine fire team below to continue to fight the fire.
The two parties cooperated, one on the top, one on the bottom, and soon the heaven and earth were restored to clarity, and after half an hour, the fire below was effectively controlled, basically within a fixed range, and there was nothing to burn around.
Seeing this, not only the people breathed a sigh of relief, but the members of the submarine fire team also stopped fighting the fire and rested in place, and in the sky, the tired fat stealing bird turned into a streamer under the eyes of everyone and flew towards the north of the city.
That red figure, at this moment, is remembered by everyone.
"Phew!" When the fat-stealing bird fell from mid-air, Wen Shu was telling Daddy Wen about what she had encountered in the world of mountains and seas this month.
Hearing the sound, she paused her conversation and came out to check, but she couldn't help but be startled when she saw the fat stealer lying weakly in the courtyard.
"Red Shadow, Red Shadow, what's wrong with you?!"
She ran forward in a few steps, grabbing the fat stealer and looking left and right.
"Quack~quack" The fat stealing bird shouted weakly twice, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his head.
This made Wen Shu even more confused, what's the matter, wasn't it okay before. She looked around, there was nothing unusual around her, and the red shadow was not injured, so she couldn't help but be confused.
Father Wen followed her out, suddenly moved his nose, and said to himself in wonder: "What a big burnt smell!" Where did it come from? ”
There was no fire in the stomach, could it be that the Wang family next door burned the rice.
When he said this, he reminded Wen Shu that he had just patronized the red shadow, and he ignored the smell of burning in the air, and now when he smelled it carefully, this smell of burning .......
Wow, it's on it!
She suddenly lowered her head and looked at the red shadow.
It's just that how can a good one have a burnt smell.
After a while, she was suddenly surprised: "You went to put out the fire just now, where is the fire?" She asked, standing up and looking around.
At this time, the fire in the south of the city had been controlled, and it was far away, except for the faint smell of burnt food wafting in the air with the wind, the fire could not be seen at all from Wen Shu's position.
The fat stealing bird had just made a big effort, and at this time, he couldn't lift his head even when he was tired, and he couldn't give any response at all except for croaking twice.
Wen Shu saw that there was no dazzling fire, so he didn't take it to heart, and while stroking the fat thief, he told Father Wen about the "special skills" of the fat thief
Hearing that the owl in front of him could resist fire, Father Wen was full of surprise, and immediately remembered that he was worried that Yujin Garden would come to the door, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
Time flew by in the chat between the two.
The sun slowly disappeared between the two mountains, and the fat stealing bird rested for a while, and his spirit gradually improved, and he could rub his head against Wen Shu's legs.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and night was approaching, Wen Shu, who had come back to his senses, remembered that it was time to make dinner.
"Dad, what do you want to eat at night, I'll do it." As she spoke, she was about to get up and go to the kitchen.
Who knew that Father Wen called out to her, "I'm not busy with dinner, you go and clean yourself up first, I don't know how you spent this month, a good girl, it just caused her to be called Hanako." ”
After his reminder, Wen Shu remembered his current situation, and nodded again and again while being ashamed.
There was no hot water at home, and it would take a long time to burn now, so Father Wen asked her to go to Muxiang Pavilion to wash, and said that she didn't have to worry about dinner, she invited her to eat outside.
Wen Shu thought about it, and he had to boil water to take a bath and cook, so he didn't know how long it would take, so he obediently went back to the room, took off the shirt that was torn into wisps outside, simply put on a clean coat, and then took a set of clothes to change of clothes and went to Muxiang Pavilion on the opposite street.
Night is approaching, there are no customers in Muxiang Pavilion, when Wen Shu goes, there is only one guest in the store who is combing his hair, and the shopkeeper Tong Niangzi is behind the counter and bows his head to settle accounts.
Feeling that the door curtain was lifted, she subconsciously looked up, and was about to ask if it was a single bubble or a quadruple, but when she saw that the person in front of her was Wen Shu, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Little lady Wen!" After that, he also glanced at Wen Shu's lower body.
But when I saw that there were feet and shadows, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It's no wonder that she's afraid, the person who has been missing for a month suddenly appears in her store, and it's night, and everyone has to think about it more.
"The little lady is back? When did you come back, where have you been this month, but your father is dying. ”
Confirmed that it was a "person", Tong Niangzi's words immediately increased, she was very curious about where Wen Shu had gone in the past month, what had happened, and why couldn't even the government find out.
Wen Shu had already heard her father talk about reporting to the official, and she also knew what kind of sensation her disappearance caused at that time, at least in the north of the city.
Muxiang Pavilion is where she and Wang Ling often come to bathe, and it is not surprising that Tong Niangzi can recognize her at a glance, but fortunately, she has already thought of an excuse at home and unified the caliber with her father.
"Hey, don't mention it, I got lost in the mountains, if I didn't meet the fairy for guidance at the end, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back now."
As soon as she heard about the immortals, Tong Niangzi immediately became interested.
Although he knew that Wen Shu was probably talking nonsense, he couldn't help but want to hear how she was talking nonsense, after all, it was a novel and mysterious thing to be able to get involved with the immortals, so he hurriedly asked what was going on.
Wen Shu told her about opening a tea house outside the city, and then said that on the first day of the fourth month, she went to the tea house to deliver something, and happened to meet a guest who asked for rabbit meat, and she took the risk to take things to the back mountain to catch rabbits in order to make money.
It's also luck.,I didn't take a few steps and really found a gray-haired rabbit.,It's just that the rabbit is not a stupid.,Where to stand in place and let her catch it.,She's chasing.,Accidentally went into the mountains.。
By the time she came to her senses, she couldn't remember where she had come or where she had been.
What happened next, it was really a thrill, Wen Shu mixed up the half-truths and half-truths that she encountered in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
What encountered a tiger chasing after him, accidentally rolled down a hillside, and what was besieged by wolves, and almost died in it.
In short, it is as thrilling as it can be, and seeing that everyone's curiosity has been suspended, the conversation has changed.
"Just as the wolves pounced, a white light flashed in front of me, and an old man with a cane suddenly appeared in front of me. He only took the cane and tapped it, and I fainted. ”
"When I woke up again, I was lying next to the official road, but it was a little far away, and it took a day to walk back."
Wen Shu portrayed the words she had prepared as thrilling, with twists and turns.
After listening to this, Aunt Zhang, who was carrying water, smacked her lips and said, "It's really fake, you really met the gods?" Don't you make up a story to coax us, right? ”
"Coax you to do something, anyway, I woke up on the edge of the official road, if it weren't for the gods, how could I escape from the wolf's mouth and get out of the mountains and forests."
Tong Niangzi nodded suspiciously, and said tentatively: "It does sound strange, I don't know if the little lady still remembers the appearance of the immortals, can you tell us more carefully." ”
"Of course, that fairy is six feet tall, in his sixties, with a white beard and long beard, a diamond hat on his head, and a brown and black wooden stick in his hand, and he looks kind."
"Isn't this the god of the land?" Aunt Zhang exclaimed.
"God of the land! Yes, yes, Aunt Zhang didn't say that I didn't react, and said that there was a land shrine next to my newly built tea house, but it was originally abandoned. When I went, I saw that the cobwebs were dense and the sand was full of dust, and I thought that it was a god at all, and that it was really a bit desolate to end up in such a situation, so I removed the grass and dust, and offered incense every day. ”
"Now that I think about it, it wasn't because the land god was moved by my sincerity, so he showed up to save me."
"Definitely."
Hearing what she said so specifically, Tong Niangzi and the others couldn't help but believe it.
