Chapter 47: Demon Fire Burning in the Sky
At dusk, the rain gradually stopped.
In the temple, it is practiced that there is no food for lunch, and in the evening, Sun Qingyang's stomach growls with hunger.
When I read the Lotus Sutra, the more I looked at it, the more hungry I became, my head was dizzy, as if something was stirring in it, the sound was amplified, the sound of breathing roared in my ears, and the sound of cala la la was made, and the feeling of panic spread until it finally stopped in my abdomen.
I can't stand it, the front heart is close to the back heart.
I was thinking about whether to go to the kitchen of the temple to find something to eat, when I saw Xuanji come in with a celadon plate with blue flowers on a white background.
There are more than a dozen vegetarian buns on the plate.
Seeing that Sun Qingyang was about to grab it, Xuanji hurriedly blocked it, "First ask Du Ruo to clean Miss's hands, don't you dare to eat like this, you will have a stomach upset in a while." ”
Xuanji took a small plate and picked out a few, "Miss, I'll pick up a few for the mother-in-law outside, just now they came in with buns, and their eyes were straight." ”
"Go quickly, this is outside, there are not so many rules, if you want people to do things, you have to let people eat enough, and you will eat together with this water."
When I finished cleaning my hands and holding the bun in my hand, I was still flustered, and I didn't settle down until I ate it in my mouth.
The aroma of the vegetarian stuffed buns, the taste of wheat flour and vermicelli shiitake mushrooms, loose, soft, fragrant, and a little sweet, soothed all her worries, she didn't have to think about anything, and as long as there was a plate of steamed buns in front of her, the anxious mind calmed down.
Three times five divided by two, two were stuffed in his stomach, Sun Qingyang showed a satisfied look, and sighed, "Sure enough, the people take food as the sky, this stomach is not full, there is no strength to speak, and I am panicked when I drink water." You're about to eat the mats, too. ”
The three of them responded with a smile, and they all ate two each.
Because in the temple, the house is limited, and the three of them are on duty in Sun Qingyang's house tonight, and the two mothers-in-law are guarding in the outhouse.
Sun Qingyang took another one, "It's still Sister Xuanji who is smart, knowing that we will be hungry if we don't eat at night, so I found a bun." ”
Xuanji was puzzled, "Didn't you send it to Miss?" ”
"What?" Sun Qingyang said in surprise: "I have been with Du Ruo and Yun Shi all the time, and I didn't ask anyone to send buns." ”
Xuanji asked strangely, "But the little maid obviously said that the young lady asked her to send it." Just now I went to Li Liangdi to ask how to arrange to get up early tomorrow, and when I came back, a little maid came out of Miss Zhao's room with a food box, saying that Miss was hungry, so the kitchen specially made it for everyone, and I also asked on purpose, saying that Miss wanted it, so I prepared more and sent it to Miss Zhao and Miss Qin. ”
Sun Qingyang was shocked, and as soon as he let go, the bun that had not yet been eaten fell to the ground, "There is a problem, don't eat it." ”
When Xuanji and the others heard this, they also hurriedly threw away the bun in their hands, and "wow, wow" hurriedly spit out their mouths before they could swallow them.
"Hurry up and find someone......" Sun Qingyang didn't finish speaking, he was already groggy and delirious.
Yun Shi reacted quickly, and first pushed the door and shouted, "Come on, come on, come on, ......" without shouting a few times, he fainted on the threshold in front of him.
Du Ruo supported Sun Qingyang when she was dazed, hugged her on the bed with her last consciousness, and then fell softly on the side of the bed.
Xuanji struggled to go to the door, but before she ran out of the hospital, she fainted, fell down in a daze, saw a figure, and quietly pushed open the courtyard door.
Finally, someone heard the movement and came to their rescue.
Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a state of complete unconsciousness.
If someone is still awake, or someone is passing by, they can see the person who is coming, sneaky, no matter how they look like they have come to save people.
The man's face was mixed with resentment, anger, madness, and pride, except for no surprise or pity, no matter how you look at it, it looks more like he has come to kill.
Entering the courtyard, he dragged Xuanji and Yunshi into the house one after another, and then walked to the east and west wings and counted the number of people, three young ladies, each with two maids, two mothers-in-law, a total of fifteen, all there, all ate steamed buns, and they didn't wake up.
Looking at a few good-looking big girls, he wanted to touch it, thinking of business, afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, in the end he just swallowed his saliva, closed the doors one by one, and poured tung oil down the way, igniting the flint in his hand.
"Pounce", the spark was blown out, he was shocked, looked around, and there was no movement at all.
Hit again, and it was blown out again.
Hit again, but it was still blown out.
This wind is weird. Could it be that it is a bodhisattva manifestation?
The man did not believe in evil, although they all ate the drugged buns, but if the fire did not burn, it would always be found that it was a move of hands and feet, and only a fire would make others think that the mother-in-law was careless when they went to night and did not extinguish the fire candle, which caused the disaster.
Pity a few like flowers and jade, but unfortunately, I can't pity the jade today.
He simply dragged down the air lamp hanging under the eaves, kicked it over, and threw it on the ground.
Falling to the ground, the candle flame in the air lamp licked the red tung oil paper covered outside, and the fire gradually spread.
The man covered his face with his sleeve, looked left and right, and quickly slipped out of the courtyard gate.
As soon as he went out, a mother-in-law lifted her pants from the back of the room, tied her belt and muttered as she walked, "Why is this stomach still troublesome without eating, don't go back, they finished eating all the buns." ”
When I looked up, I saw a red fire.
In a panic, he shouted, "Go water, go water, come on, put out the fire." ”
The mother-in-law shouted and ran outside the courtyard gate.
