Chapter 277: Fire
Song Lingyue watched all this with great interest, and from time to time she wanted to see through the gap in the red hijab to see if the pearl girl was beautiful or not.
The bride said a lot of auspicious words and sang a chant, 'Send it to the cave room', and the wedding ceremony was completed.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, congratulations, congratulations!" "Liu Bao can be regarded as starting a family, and Aunt Liu has also let go of a matter in her heart."
The guests who attended the wedding banquet said hello to Liu Bao's mother and aunt.
Liu Chunxiang will come to something, and hurriedly got up to return the salute: "Ouch, happy and happy, Liu Bao can have today thanks to the help of all the villagers." ”
"Let's take a seat first, and when the newlyweds are packed, they will come out to receive the guests." Liu Chunxiang beckoned the guests present to enter the table, and helped Liu Bao and his mother up into the main seat.
Song Lingyue and Qi Mo entered the table under Liu Chunxiang's arrangement, and when all the guests were seated, Liu Bao came out with a shy pearl and gave tea to Mrs. Liu.
Song Lingyue has a chance to see the true face of that pearl girl.
Not to mention that the pearl girl was wearing a red wedding dress, and her long hair was tied into a woman's bun, and the ends of her hair were fixed with pearl hairpins, revealing a small face the size of a palm.
The pearl girl is as her name suggests, with white skin, gentle eyebrows and eyes, willow leaf curved eyebrows, cherry mouth, quite a taste of small jasper, no wonder Liu Bao is fascinated by her.
Liu Bao held Pearl's hand, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, just like the two fools at the entrance of the village.
Song Lingyue looked at it and wanted to laugh, bumped into Qi Mo, and asked in a low voice: "Qi Mo, are you men so happy to get married?" Look at Liu Bao, flowers are about to bloom on his happy face. ”
Qi Mo shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent: "How do I know, it's not me who is marrying a wife." ”
"Can't you just use your imagination? Imagine that the person who got married today is you, will you be happy? Song Lingyue propped her chin and blinked.
Qi Mo looked at the pearl in a red wedding dress, and then looked at Song Lingyue beside him, his thoughts drifted far away from Song Lingyue's words, and he didn't know what he thought, and the corners of his lips floated a trace of curvature.
Song Lingyue smiled narrowly: "What do you think?" So happy? Tell me about it. ”
Qi Mo suppressed the smile on his face, for fear that Song Lingyue would see through what he was thinking, and hurriedly said:
"What can I think of, I just think the bride is very beautiful, especially the wedding dress, which looks beautiful red."
Song Lingyue nodded in agreement, and her eyes fell on Pearl's red wedding dress:
"It's beautiful. This red wedding dress is really good-looking. No wonder girls fantasize about getting married, in fact, they all fantasize about wearing a wedding dress and being in the spotlight of everyone, right?
However, for the sake of the glory of this moment, a woman has to give up her biological parents, abandon the family she formed with her parents, and enter the family of her husband, who is a complete stranger, and become a man's wife and family, and serve her husband's family all her life.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the red wedding dress is not so good-looking, but it is a little dazzling. ”
"You're talking more and more like that." Qi Mo took a pair of chopsticks and put them on Song Lingyue's plate, "Eat quickly, if you are heard carefully, you should think that you have an opinion on other people's marriages." Good manner, how can you say such a thing? ”
Song Lingyue stuck out her tongue when she felt speechless, pounded the vegetables on the plate with chopsticks, and only ate a few grains of rice for a long time.
Watching Liu Bao pull the pearl next to the table with a happy face, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the table of Qi Mo and Song Lingyue.
Liu Bao pulled the pearl and introduced it to her: "I can become this family affair with you, thanks to Miss Song and Qi Gongzi, if they hadn't encouraged me very much, I wouldn't have the courage to go to you again, let alone become our marriage." ”
Pearl blushed when she heard this, and glanced at Liu Bao with disgust, and then turned her gaze back to Qi Mo and Song Lingyue:
"In this way, the two of you can be regarded as my matchmaker with Liu Bao? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be where we are today. ”
The bride served two glasses of wedding wine, one for Pearl and Liu Bao, and raised a toast.
Qi Mo picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly, and drank it all: "Live with your white heads and grow old together." ”
Seeing that Song Lingyue didn't drink and pushed her, Song Lingyue woke up and said busily: "Then I wish you all the best of luck." ”
After speaking, he was about to drink all the happy wine in front of him, but was blocked by Qi Mo, "Lingyue is not strong enough to drink, this cup goes down, I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk, I'll drink this cup on her behalf." ”
Before Song Lingyue could speak, Qi Mo had already picked up the wine glass and drank the wine for her.
Liu Bao wanted to persuade him to drink again, but Pearl pulled him and whispered a few words before giving up.
After two glasses of wine, Qi Mo's face was as usual, but a thin layer of blush appeared on his cheeks, which made his fair and handsome face a little more angry.
"You've had two glasses of wine with an empty stomach, and it's going to make your stomach uncomfortable." Song Lingyue saw that there was chicken soup on the table, and it was still warm, so she helped Qi Mo scoop a bowl and brought it to him, "Drink some chicken soup to warm your stomach." ”
Qi Mo took the soup bowl and drank it in small sips, with an extremely elegant posture.
"Still uncomfortable?" Song Lingyue gently stroked Qi Mo's back and helped him calm down.
Qi Mo shook his head, but instead of fading, the flush on his face seemed to be heavier.
"Is this wine so strong? Why do you look like you're a little bit on top? Seeing that his face was flushed, Song Lingyue took the wine jug to the bottom of a shallow bowl and tasted it, "This is ordinary rice wine, the degree is not very high, why are you blushing like this." ”
"Maybe it's because I've drunk too hard." Qi Mo explained in a low voice that he didn't want to tell Song Lingyue that he was not drunk, but because Song Lingyue was too close, he could almost smell the unique and charming fragrance on her body.
The hot air from her breath was sprinkled on his neck, numb, and he tilted his head slightly, avoiding Song Lingyue's gaze.
Song Lingyue didn't know why, so she poured a cup of tea for Qi Mo, and watched him drink it to feel a little relieved.
Originally, the wedding banquet was going to last until the evening, but Song Lingyue couldn't bear to see Qi Mo like that, so she said hello to Liu Bao and took Qi Mo back.
"Go back in a while and ask Song Yi to boil you a bowl of sobering soup." Song Lingyue muttered in her mouth, while complaining, "If you don't know how to drink, don't drink, why do you have to be strong." I thought you drank a lot, but I didn't expect it to be average. ”
Qi Mo pretended to be dizzy, and he couldn't even walk steadily.
Song Lingyue couldn't, so she stepped forward to support Qi Mo, rested Qi Mo's head on her shoulder, and said something in her mouth: "I think you and I had better get less bars in the future and delay things." ”
Qi Mo snorted and nodded slightly, which was regarded as agreeing to Song Lingyue's request.
When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw Aunt Li looking anxiously at the door, and saw Song Lingyue and Qi Mo staggering back, and hurriedly ran over.
"Aunt Li." Song Lingyue greeted Aunt Li with a smile, and when she saw that Aunt Li had a serious expression on her face, her heart tightened, "What happened?" Why is the face so ugly? ”
Aunt Li's face can be described as pale as paper, and when she saw Song Lingyue, she pulled her over and said:
"Why did you come back! Something is wrong! ”
As soon as he heard that something was wrong, Qi Mo didn't pretend to be drunk on Song Lingyue, and hurriedly asked Aunt Li, "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing that Qi Mo recovered so quickly, Song Lingyue guessed that he should be pretending to be drunk and deceiving himself, and just wanted to settle accounts with Qi Mo, he heard Aunt Li say:
"Something's wrong, there's something wrong! There's something going on in the medicine storehouse! I heard that somehow it went out of the water, and all the medicinal herbs in the warehouse were burned! ”
As soon as Aunt Li's words fell, Song Lingyue only felt that her eyes were dark, and her legs were weak and she was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, Qi Mo was clever and helped her.
"What did you say?" Song Lingyue's vocal cords were all trembling and in disbelief.
The expression on Aunt Li's face was complicated, with sympathy and concern:
"Just now Liu Liang came back, his face was full of black ash, I asked him and he said that he rushed to Liuye Street and found that the medicine warehouse there was drained, he and the workers rushed to the rescue, but the fire was too big, the warehouse was burned down, and the landlord's house was affected."
"Has anyone been hurt?" Song Lingyue didn't have the time to care about how many medicinal materials she had lost, she wanted to know most about whether there was anything wrong with the people.
"Thankfully, no one was hurt. It is said that when the fire broke out, the workers were eating in the back wing! Fortunately, Liu Liang came in time, if it was at night, it might really be affected. Aunt Li was also afraid.
"Where's Ryuliang?" Qi Mo asked.
Aunt Li turned her gaze to Qi Mo's face, looked at Song Lingyue again, and said, "After Liu Liang came back and told us about this, he asked me to wait for you to come back at the door, and he took Song Yi and a few of them to the medicine field in Xihe Village." ”
"Where to do what?" Song Lingyue frowned.
Aunt Li shook her head and said, "Liu Liang didn't say anything, but only said that he was worried that the medicine field would also be destroyed, so he took a few girls to help." ”
"Qi Mo." Song Lingyue immediately decided, "Let's go to Liuye Street now!" ”
"Shouldn't you go to the medicine field first?" Qi Mo asked.
Song Lingyue shook her head slightly: "Liu Liang, they are there in the medicine field, it's enough, let's go to Liuye Street first." Liu Liang must have found something unusual in the medicine warehouse on Willow Leaf Street, so he was worried that something would go wrong with the medicine field. We must hurry to Willow Leaf Street, don't be destroyed by the bad guys. ”
Qi Mo understood, "Okay, I'll take you to Liuye Street." ”
"Aunt Li, you go to the government to find Zhang Hu now, just say I'm looking for him, ask him to come to Liuye Street." After Song Lingyue finished speaking, Qi Mo hurried to Liuye Street.
I had just reached the entrance of the alley, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
Song Lingyue couldn't help but be more anxious, and walked a few steps quickly to the fat aunt's house on Liuye Street.
The door of the fat aunt's house was not closed, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a miserable picture.
The white walls of the courtyard were blackened with soot, and tongues of fire swept over the three tiled houses, and the roofs were burned to reveal the charred wooden beams, which were still steaming.
