Happy Lantern Festival!!

~~~~

Outside the prefect's yamen, there was a sea of people.

On the day of begging for rain, the cloth-clothed woman stood at the front with a pair of children carved in pink and jade, and when she saw Mu Wanqiu and Lord Xu coming out, she hurriedly pulled a pair of children and said, "Hurry up...... Quickly kowtow to Eun Gong......"

Yu Guang saw that Lord Xu's face had changed, Mu Wanqiu stepped forward and crossed him, wanting to stop it in time, who knows, look at her coming, the pair of pink carved jade villains have both knelt in the rain at the instigation of the woman in cloth.

“…… Thanks to Engong for saving his life, Mo Xue is willing to be a cow and a horse to serve Engong! ”

“…… Thanks to Engong for saving his life, Mo Yu is willing to be a cow and a horse to serve Engong! ”

The immature voice was instantly drowned in the boiling crowd, but Mu Wanqiu could read their lips, and she was stunned.

Do cows and horses?

What do they mean, do they want to follow her?

stepped forward to help the two children, she glanced at the woman in cloth, the woman's heart-rending voice was still in her ears when she begged for rain that day, how could she be willing to care so much about these two children?

"The female bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion, you saved Yu'er Xue'er's life, you are her reborn parents, if you don't dislike it, the old woman will hand them over to you, don't ask to follow you with fine clothes and food, as long as you give your mouth enough to eat......"

The woman's voice was unusually loud, and the crowd suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the cloth-clothed woman.

The cloth-clothed woman grabbed Mu Wanqiu's sleeve tightly, bent her knees and was about to kneel, looking at the rain all over the ground, Mu Wanqiu helped her, she always practiced with the martial artist, and the cloth-clothed woman did not kneel down even though she blushed.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly weak little girl was so powerful, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the cloth-clothed woman, and then it was replaced by a deep joy.

This little girl is by no means simple, and there is nothing wrong with her own children following her!

"This sister-in-law has already talked about it, I am ashamed to save my life, I dare not be a ......" When the surrounding voices quieted down, Mu Wanqiu said lightly, "I just passed through Pingcheng, and I have no time to take care of myself all the way, how can I take them with me, and I hope that my sister-in-law will take back her life......"

She is trapped in the prefect's yamen, facing the father and daughter of Lord Xu, who are eyeing her, whether she can leave alive is a problem, how can she take care of these two children?

"Female Bodhisattva, don't say that...... "I didn't expect to be rejected, the cloth-clothed woman's face turned pale in an instant, and she desperately wanted to break free from Mu Wanqiu and kneel, "You are out alone, there is a shortage of people around you, they can't do anything else, bring you a cup of tea, pour a water, and keep a vigil for a night......" Seeing that she couldn't fight, she turned back to Mo Yu and Mo Xue, "Kneel down and kowtow to Engong, and beg her to accept your ......"

"Ask for grace to take in Yu'er......"

"Ask for grace to take in Cher'......"

The two children, who had just been lifted up, threw themselves on their knees in the rain.

Mu Wanqiu was startled, let go of the cloth-clothed woman, and was about to step forward to pick it up, but the cloth-clothed woman was free, and she also knelt down, holding Mu Wanqiu's legs, "The female bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion, you can do well, accept these two children, your great kindness, the old woman will definitely repay her in the next life as a cow and a horse......"

Mu Wanqiu was a little stupid, the rain had already begged to fall, the two children were already fine, why did this woman say that?

The silent crowd was noisy again.

"White girl, you can take her......" Cuihong's low voice came in her ears, "These two children have already worshiped the Dragon King Temple, and they have long been recognized as virgins and girls, and sooner or later they will be taken in by the Dragon King......"

Sooner or later, take it away?

Mu Wanqiu frowned, what does this mean?

"It is rumored on the streets of Pingcheng that you and the Dragon King are friends, and Wu Zhu said that these two children can only save their lives if they follow you......" Seeing Mu Wanqiu's eyes full of doubts, a fat white woman standing behind her explained.

"No wonder......" Mu Wanqiu nodded knowingly, muttering in her mouth.

Her eyes fell on the bodies of the two pink-carved jade boys, and her heart churned, she was not short of silver, and it was not difficult to accept them, but she also had a slim future, and her fate was uncertain, how could she ensure their safety?

The thought flashed, and she shook her head decisively.

"The Female Bodhisattva of Great Compassion ......"

Seeing her shaking her head, without waiting for her to speak, the cloth-clothed woman begged again, mixed with the immature pleading voices of the two children, hearing Mu Wanqiu's mixed feelings, she secretly belched at Lord Xu behind her.

I don't know when, the boiling people have separated her from Lord Xu, and from a distance, Lord Xu looked at them with a gloomy face, and Hou San was talking to his ear.

Her heart moved, the Dragon King would not accept these two children, I was afraid that after she got out, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked master and Master Xu would not let them go!

"Sister-in-law, there is no shortage of people around me, you can bring them back......" After a little thought, Mu Wanqiu said loudly, she took out a silver ticket from her arms, "Take these back to subsidize the family......"

"No, the old woman doesn't want silver...... the woman in cloth was stunned, then shook her head again and again, and then dragged Mu Wanqiu to kowtow, "Please also show mercy and accept them, your great kindness and virtue of the old woman will never forget ......"

Dragged by the woman in cloth, Mu Wanqiu unconsciously bowed forward, she turned slightly sideways, not letting Lord Xu see her movements clearly, quickly stuffed the silver ticket into the arms of the woman in cloth, whispered a few words in her ear, the woman was stunned at first, then nodded again and again, and said in a voice that only Mu Wanqiu could hear, "Female Bodhisattva, don't worry, the old woman will do things well according to your instructions......

“…… They are the people that the Dragon King fancies, how dare I take it indiscriminately! Feeling quiet everywhere, all eyes were staring at them, Mu Wanqiu bowed slightly at the cloth-clothed woman, her eyes signaled her to go quickly, and said loudly, "...... Sister-in-law, this is hurting me again! ”

Hurt her?

The crowd was startled, and then it became noisy again, and someone had already chimed in:

"Yes, the white girl accepted this boy, and she offended the dragon lord!"

“…… It's no joke to offend the Dragon King! ”

"The white girl can't accept it......"

“…… Resolutely can not be accepted! ”

"You woman, take your son away, don't be an eyesore here......"

……

The crowd that had just fallen silent boiled again in an instant, they really admired Mu Wanqiu too much, worshiped this great benefactor who begged for a timely rain for them, and could not tolerate the slightest harm and disrespect from others.

Lord Xu, who was outside the circle, turned pale and his brows twisted into a pimple.

Slowly letting go of Mu Wanqiu, the cloth-clothed woman looked at her in a daze for a long time, then bent down and pulled up a pair of children, and slipped into the crowd without looking back amid a shout.

The crowd immediately whistled and moved out of the way.

Looking at their backs as they disappeared in the sea of people, Mu Wanqiu breathed a long sigh of relief.
