Chapter 231: Today is the Thousand Autumn Festival
When Zhu Hongyu woke up, the inn was surprisingly quiet. I couldn't hear a single sound, not even Jin Yuanjing's voice.
It was getting dark, and it was covered with a dark mist.
The noisy and noisy sound outside is like thunder, and this sound sounds really lively.
Zhu Hongyu didn't know what the sound was, so she endured her sleepiness and forcibly sat up.
The room was still dark.
What about Kim Won-kyung?
Zhu Hongyu felt strange and also felt an inexplicable fear.
The source of this fear is the fear that Jin Yuanjing will be targeted by Kongtong Mountain again, but obviously Zhu Hongyu's worry is superfluous.
Just after the vermilion jade palm lamp lit up the house, the door suddenly opened, and the person who came in was Jin Yuanjing, who was wearing the clothes of the Hu people of the Western Regions.
Zhu Hongyu was startled when she came in, and it took a long time to realize that she bought this dress for Jin Yuanjing.
It's a good oolong.
"What are you afraid of?"
Jin Yuanjing looked at Zhu Hongyu incomprehensibly, only to see Zhu Hongyu holding his chest to calm his excited mood.
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize this as the clothes I bought just now, and you're used to wearing Taoist robes on weekdays, so I didn't react for a while."
Jin Yuanjing looked at Zhu Hongyu and pouted.
"Why, haven't you ever seen a Taoist priest wearing a vulgar costume?"
Zhu Hongyu thought back to her past life, and actually saw it.
"Yes, on the day of the Midyear Festival."
As a Taoist priest, Jin Yuanjing was more sensitive to the festival of the Midyear Festival, and immediately showed a puzzled look at Zhu Hongyu.
"Midyear? The Taoist priests are busy sending money to the people of the underworld to do errands, where is there any spare time to wear vulgar clothes? ”
Zhu Hongyu was not happy when she heard this, why was this Jin Yuanjing so arbitrary?
"At that time, Runye and I were in Yunmeng Town, it was the plague season in Yunmeng Town, and it was July 15, and Runye and I came out of the school grounds. On the dark street outside the door, there are bright spots of burning paper money one after another, which can be said to be like a galaxy on the ground, stretching out for dozens of miles. At that time, there was a moat in Yunmeng Town, and there were river lights floating in it, and there was no place above the moat where an extra lamp could be placed. There were so many people who died at that time......"
As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but think back to what had happened just a few months ago, Jin Yuanjing was surprised to hear it, and at this time she didn't dislike that this story was related to Runye.
"Listen to you, it seems that a lot of people have died in Yunmeng Town?"
Zhu Hongyu looked at Jin Yuanjing in surprise and asked, "Don't you know?" It's this year's thing, this year's cholera. ”
Cholera?
Jin Yuanjing knew what cholera was, and he had seen people with cholera on Wudang Mountain, but he was quickly cured and did not cause a large-scale spread.
"I've been trapped in the Langmei Temple this year, and I probably don't know anything about what you're talking about."
Zhu Hongyu knows that infectious diseases have their own development laws, for example, malaria only spreads on a large scale in the south and rarely in the north. For example, the anthrax virus hides in the frozen tundra of the Siberian plateau.
Like Wudang Mountain, the world is full of fragrant flowers in April, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom, and there will be many fewer cold natural infectious diseases on the mountain.
Especially in this place like Wudang Mountain, although there are many people who visit, there are very few people who can really contact the Taoist priests, not to mention the Langmei Temple, which is well hidden.
Jin Yuanjing didn't know that this disease was naturally normal, if he saw the original scene, I don't know what kind of feeling it would be?
Anyway, Zhu Hongyu felt that she was really going crazy.
"Then I'll tell you more about it, though I don't want to go into it for you...... It was really scary at the time. We learned about the outbreak of cholera in various parts of Ganzhou in July, and the number of people infected with the disease was very large, and the number of people who fell ill in one day was as high as hundreds. Yunmeng Town was the hardest hit area of this plague, and all the people were concentrated in the school field of military training by the government. There are thousands of tents on the school grounds, and there are countless people lying down and people preparing to lie down. Among them, I came to this military camp in front of Runye, and at that time, Yunmeng Town had no doctor next to him, so he could only come to me. I agreed to the conditions that the governor of Ganzhou gave me, so that my whole family could be promoted, and I could also give my brother an idle official. I did this secretly by myself, and my family didn't know about it. When they found out that I was gone, they had to entrust Runye to look for me. The reason for this is very simple, because Runye is a doctor and knows how to protect himself, and he may be the only one in the world who is willing to go to the ghost town with a benevolent heart. Then he and I met, and we treated the patient together, and we continued until the day of the seventh and a half days, when he and I went out of the school grounds. Outside the school yard, the ghost cried wolf...... It's horrible. Runye and I ate tofu outside, and Runye also told me that if he could make a good amount of money in the temple today. As a result, I was so angry that I could only stay with me in this place now. ”
After hearing this, with Jin Yuanjing's IQ, I really couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene it was, but according to Zhu Hongyu's description, it should be corpses all over the field.
Otherwise, how could there be so many people burning paper on the Midyear Festival, and how could the river lantern pave the entire moat.
"What happened to the body?"
Jin Yuanjing asked, this question is a bit vain.
Although as a Taoist priest, he should have investigated life and death a long time ago, but he had never met too many people in his life, and even if there were, they were all those who had completed their merits, meditating and leaving this world with a smile.
This kind of can't be called "turning over", the more elegant way of saying it is called "feathering", after the "feathering", the limbs are not stiff in the process of cleaning up the corpse, but like a living person. It is said that those who have attained merit will continue to cultivate after the "feathering".
Having never seen the state of the people who died unexpectedly, Jin Yuanjing really couldn't imagine how those people died, what they looked like after death, and what they were buried.
"It's burned, so it's time-saving and clean. Some of them had family members, but they were brought back for burial. We've done our best......"
Zhu Hongyu looked at Jin Yuanjing with some disbelief when she said this, she knew that Jin Yuanjing had poor psychological tolerance.
In particular, the ancients treated life and death as a very taboo topic, and even pregnant women gave birth to children and considered the delivery room to be dirty.
I'm so stupid to get home.
"Burned? How can you burn ......"
Jin Yuanjing was of course a little vain when he asked this question, he didn't know how to say this word, death was too terrible for him.
Seeing that Jin Yuanjing was uncomfortable, Zhu Hongyu immediately stopped the topic.
"Jin Yuanjing, in fact, you don't need to know these things at all, now is a peaceful and prosperous era, and there may be an outbreak of infectious diseases in the future, but I can guarantee that these germs have nothing to do with you. By the way, during the cholera, Peach Blossom Village was also affected, but no one in our family got sick, not even a dog who was guarding the home. ”
Jin Yuanjing ignored Zhu Hongyu's words, so he didn't believe that Zhu Hongyu had this ability.
I just think that Zhu Hongyu is a very blessed woman.
"In the past, I spent a sentence in the Taoist scriptures, 'The house of goodness must have afterglow, and the house of unkindness must have aftermath', I thought that it was right for your family, and your family must also accumulate virtue and do good deeds on weekdays, so that it can avoid suffering such a thing."
Zhu Hongyu shook her head again and again.
If their family is a family of goodness, then what do her parents say?
If their family is a philanthropic person, then they will not be crazy about accumulating money and will grow in just half a year.
Zhu Hongyu didn't know why, and suddenly remembered something from home on the boundary of Liangzhou, didn't this increase homesickness in vain?
"Hey, it's a pity, Lu Ming resigned. If this Master Lu doesn't leave, I can still talk to him about Kongtong Mountain today. And about the imperial court, I also want to know about ......."
Jin Yuanjing saw that Zhu Hongyu didn't agree with him, so he naturally had no temper. Doesn't it mean that their family hasn't done good things, and that their family is a good person, but they don't agree?
Modesty is too much.
Zhu Hongyu complained as she opened the window. After a swishing cold wind blew over, I saw that the street under the inn was full of businessmen, and the lights were so lively.
Is it a holiday today?
It is said that a few days before the ninth day of the ninth month of September, I don't know what festival September is?
"It's not a big festival today, why is it so lively here?"
Zhu Hongyu pointed to the bottom of the second floor and said in surprise to Jin Yuanjing.
Jin Yuanjing thought about it for a while and found the answer in his mind.
"Today is the Emperor's Thousand Autumn Festival, and His Majesty the Emperor is fifty-three years old this year."
September? Thousand Autumn Festival?
Zhu Hongyu knew that the Qianqiu Festival specifically referred to the days when the ancient emperor had a birthday holiday, but she didn't expect such a festival to meet her in Liangzhou, which was even decorated with lights.
Jin Yuanjing walked to the window and closed the window for Zhu Hongyu, for fear that this little capable man would catch a cold.
"The Emperor's Thousand Autumn Festival, generally the Central Plains is not so lively. It's just that we are in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is on the border. In order to promote the prestige of the country, it is very lively here. ”
Zhu Hongyu let out a long "oh", and looked thoughtfully at the BMW carved car full of fragrance, busy traffic, and the spectacular scene of the dragon fish dance all night. I didn't expect that it was not the Lantern Festival, but also to catch up with a birthday like the Qianqiu Festival.
"It's so beautiful, Jin Yuanjing, let's go down and have a look, what if there are camels?"
"There must be camels, but I'm afraid they'll lie to you."
Jin Yuanjing said worriedly, and Zhu Hongyu didn't care about these at all.
Like a little child, she rushed out of the inn's house, like a flying fairy who leaped from upstairs to downstairs.
Jin Yuanjing had no choice but to follow Zhu Hongyu's back, not forgetting to take her purse and other things, and follow closely behind.
When you go downstairs, there are fireworks lit outside, and there is even a dragon dance performance that can only be seen on the fire on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
All of a sudden, Zhu Hongyu walked into the depths of the fireworks, accompanied by the shiny fireworks, dancing freely from them, which was really beautiful.
When Jin Yuanjing saw Zhu Hongyu's figure, he couldn't pull out his eyes all of a sudden.
