CHAPTER XVII
The Shurakshasa walked in naturally, and the big dog saw a stranger coming in, and quickly got up to bark.
Lai Kui was one step ahead. Shouted
"Huzi, don't make trouble, go back to the nest obediently. Don't be afraid, my guest. ”
Shurakshasa looked at the big dog with great curiosity, and suddenly became even more strange. Curious
"There is such a miracle in this world, and dogs also have twins."
Lai Kui looked back and smiled mysteriously and explained
"What kind of twins are there, I don't know. My cave is in the sky, why is it called that? ”
Shurakshasa was even more curious
"Could it be that there is a very long hole in this mountain, which leads in all directions, and it is all open there?
This dog was originally in front of the mountain, and through the hole in the mountain, he ran home faster than the two of us. ”
Lai Kui said with a grin
"God's magic, in this Peacock Mountain, in this remote mountain, there is such a special big cave.
I'll take advantage of the situation to settle here. On weekdays, my sister and daughter accompany me.
Sometimes, I also go to Peacock Villas to use mountain goods, replace some oil smoke, sauce and vinegar, cakes and fried fruits, or candy or other food. came back to satisfy her mother's hunger. ”
Shurakshasa bowed very gently
"I came in a hurry, and I only brought some gold.
It's a shame that I didn't bring some of my mother's home-made cakes with me. ”
Lai Kui grinned
"Perhaps, you don't know, I and Lao Yu, who sweeps the streets, are two old brothers, every time we enter the city.
I stayed overnight at Lao Yu's house. I often eat your mother's red date cake at Lao Yu's house.
My daughter especially can't see the red dates and cakes, and her stomach can't hold it until she eats it, so she can't eat it. ”
Shurakshasa laughed out loud.
The next morning, I didn't hear the sparrows! Lai Kui and Shurakshasa were already riding on their horses.
With Lai Kui leading the way, the Shurakshasa was very smooth, not until noon. And he rode into the city.
It also coincides that this day is a blind date in Peacock City.
The so-called blind date is an annual grand gathering held in Peacock Villas in the late autumn season.
If you have a daughter at home, you will let her go out for a walk.
All kinds of beautiful girls walking through the streets and alleys of the city are giggling and laughing.
Families with men set up stalls selling things in front of their homes.
If a man of any family takes a fancy to that girl, he will give his own things to that girl for free.
The girl who receives the most gifts is the most popular beauty.
After entering the city, Shurakshasa did not ride a horse again, but held the reins of the horse in his hand, and Raikui also followed him.
A straight street was cleaned. Every house on the street is in front of the door, and the stall is set up early.
The girls from all the families also dressed beautifully and walked down the street.
This year, Lao Yu stopped a good job of managing the mirror. At the head of the market, a large mirror is placed.
The beautiful name is called the beautiful mirror. It is said that when the mirror shines, the beautiful will be more beautiful, and the ugly will be beautiful.
Hang a curtain on the mirror. Every time Lao Yu opened the curtain, there was a girl who wanted to take a picture of her makeup. Second, I hope that the more I shine, the more beautiful I become.
So every time the girl looks in the mirror, she gives a little money to the person who manages the mirror. If you don't have money, you can put some beans, salt and so on.
These incomes are also donated directly to the monks who practice in the monastery. Subsidize their livelihood.
The big mirror is a sacred object in the Peacock City Temple, and as for the people who manage the mirror, they all arrange some respected old people every year to guard them on the blind date.
As a result, the annual blind date gathering is in front of this mirror, and the crowds are queuing up to look in the mirror.
In fact, there is something there that makes the more beautiful the more you look at it, and the ugly person becomes beautiful in the mirror.
In Peacock Villas, a high monk came a few years ago, and he paid great attention to appearance, so he built a large mirror in the monastery himself. In order to remind the monks to pay attention to their appearance.
After a long time, the monks who looked in the mirror every day before entering the Buddhist hall consciously began to pay attention to their appearance.
After a while, people who entered the Buddha hall to worship and meditate began to spread the rumor that it was a mirror of the gods.
Whoever takes it looks good.
Later, it was moved to the blind date fair. Whether it was the first blind date or the Buddhist hall mirror first, everyone didn't pay attention. But looking in the mirror to become a beauty has become an inevitable thing for a blind date.
Shurakshasa walked through the crowd and became depressed when he thought of his family's troubles.
He thought to himself that if Jinhua and Honghua also came out to play, they would definitely receive a bunch of gifts. It's a pity! are all dragged down by small flowers. I'm not in the mood for anything.
Lai Kui could see that Shurakshasa was preoccupied and understood his mood very well.
took the initiative to be polite to Shurakshasa and said
"City Lord, don't worry too much. I'll find out what the problem is. Maybe not what you think. ”
Shurakshasa smiled bitterly, and led the way to his house.
I saw that the door of my house was closed, and there was no movement at the door. Shurakshasa took the initiative to step forward and push the door, and with a "creak", the door opened automatically. It's not locked inside.
Shurakshasa pulled the horse and walked straight in. Lai Kui followed all the way in.
Honghua ran towards him, and he shouted actively from afar
"Abba, Abba, you're back"
Seeing the red flower Shurakshasa felt a little comforted, and a smile appeared on his face. Gentleness
"Why is it that you are the only one in the house, and what about the others?"
Honghua helped Shurakshasa walk to the backyard cellar while reporting on the family's affairs.
She said sensibly
"Because, today is a blind date set. I don't want everyone in the city to worry about something big going on in our family.
Let other people's families talk about it.
I arranged for my sister to go to the city center early in the morning. My sister is timid and beautiful, and I sent Aunt Qiao to accompany her to the blind date set.
Grandma is too old. After lunch, I went to bed. Ah Qing was left to take care of the altar after lunch.
Da Man and I took care of Xiaohua together. Don't let her out.
Know that you will be home after lunch at the latest.
I arranged a meal for you and your uncle in your small living room.
Abba, wash up the dust and eat.
I'll feed the horses. Da Man is waiting for you and your uncle to eat. ”
Shurakshasa looked at the red flower with satisfaction, this daughter has been very sensible since she was a child.
In charge of all the big and small things at home, nothing went wrong.
Da Man carried two basins of warm water and waited for Shurakshasa and Lai Kui to wash their faces.
See the dishes that are laid out and the wine that is warm. The glass was filled with a yellow-orange-orange liquid that Daman poured into.
Shurakshasa said to Lai Kui with great interest
"Brother, please sit down, this is my home-brewed sorghum wine, which is no worse than your old soju. You drink a few more glasses. Take a break in the afternoon. ”
Lai Kui smiled happily
"No, you don't need to drink too much wine, just eat a few more bites of food.
I'll look at Xiaohua in the afternoon to see what the hell is going on with her. Maybe it's because I've been sick for a long time and I'm scared.
It's not demonic possession, if it's my guess, there's no need to set up an altar to exorcise demons.
I went home early, too.
However, if it is the situation that the castle lord thinks.
I'm going to worry about you, old man stay in your house for a few more days, and the exorcism will be successful before he can go back. ”
Shurakshasa looked at Lai Kui gratefully and hurriedly said
"Eat and drink. Something else. Don't be in a hurry, you will be safe when you come. Take it easy. ”
Lai Kui said positively
"It is my duty to receive money from others and to ward off their calamities. The lord of the city took me like a guest, and I am grateful. ”
