Chapter 170: The Great Fire
When she heard that the fire was burning, the ghost mother was terrified.
Yu Qi didn't care about the fire, she dragged Sanxi out first, and the ghost mother stomped her feet and said, "Confused, confused, the fire is too big." You have to put out the fire quickly, crying and crying? ”
Yu Qi didn't care.
The ghost mother also felt the heat of the fire, and in a nervous state, she didn't say anything to Yu Qi, turned around and left. After about half a while, the ghost mother took a broken bucket, laboriously brought water, approached the heat of the fire, and poured water on the fire. But the bucket is so tattered, how much water can it carry? Looking at her chopstick-like thin body, Yu Qi really couldn't bear to be so difficult for her.
dragged Sanxi out, and felt that the danger had been reduced a lot, so he got up to help the ghost mother extinguish the fire, and said to the ghost mother: "Burning in it is just boiling a little medicine, how can people outside find out?" Mom is burning like this now, burning to the sky. Although the fire can't go up, the smoke coming up from the vent is much thicker than the smoke just boiled......"
Yu Qi said while carrying water, but before she arrived, she heard the sound of "plop, plop", she quickened her pace and came out, and behold, the ghost mother was rolling on the fire and crushing it with her body.
Yu Qi poured a bucket of water on the ghost mother.
Finally, the two of them spent a lot of effort to extinguish the fire.
The fire was extinguished, and Yu Qi was so tired that he collapsed next to Sanxi, weak and weak. The ghost mother also sat on the ground, panting and coughing.
Because of the pity of the ghost mother, Yu Qi went to pat her on the back and cared: "How is Mom?" ”
The ghost mother was relieved, took Yu Qi's hand and said, "You go out quickly, don't stay here." You have to go out and answer the door, in case the people from the Zhuang Mansion come in and see, you are so obscured. ”
Yu Qi was reluctant to go, one, Sanxi was in danger, and second, the ghost mother calculated herself.
The ghost mother probably sensed that Yu Qi was angry, so she said: "I was so angry just now, I told you the truth, and I blamed you a few times, it was my fault." Good girl, listen to me, at this time today, we can't let the people of Zhuangfu know about the underground, we will wait for the next day. You've got to make them think I'm dead. Let's get out there and deal with it! ”
Yu Qi didn't move, and said, "Then my mother told me the truth, was Sanxi harmed by my mother or by the second wife of Beifu?" ”
The ghost mother was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you talking about?" Naturally, I didn't hurt her, I didn't know her, what did I do to her? ”
Yu Qi said: "Just now my mother said that the snake bit her, and the snake was raised by my mother." At this time, I said this again, and my mother's heart made me not understand. ”
The ghost mother slapped the ground and sighed: "What a foolish fake nun, let me tell you, her tongue has been drugged, and people are determined to kill her, and if she can't die, she has to be made dumb." If I don't bite her tongue with a snake, how can I dissolve her poison? Maybe the snake bit hard, this will show you a little swollen, but it's not in the way, it's always good to recuperate slowly, I didn't want to mention this matter, to this, don't mention it, you are going to doubt me. Between you and me, now that we are mother and daughter, how can I harm you? ”
Yu Qi was suspicious, thought about it, but still felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "What is that mother still trying to trick me into getting honey, you obviously have a trick to save Sanxi, what is the reason why I asked me to get honey?" "Some of them were angry and fell down for taking honey.
The ghost mother shook her head, sad: "I might as well tell you the truth, honey is what I want to eat." This is one of them, and the second is that it is indeed for Sanxi to dissolve the toxins in the body, but it has little effect. But you think, the effect is weak is also effective, it's just slower. Besides, you're locked up in this hellish place, and there's no medicine, I can think of that honeycomb upstairs. ”
I see.
Yu Qi was stunned in his heart, sighed, and asked again after a long time: "Mom really didn't lie to me?" ”
The ghost mother said, "What good will it do me if I harm you?" Not to mention that we didn't know each other before, but now, we are mother and daughter, and it's too late to help you. I'm hungry for honey, and you have to force me to say it. ”
When Yu Qi heard this, he believed it and said with a smile: "Mom is worried, what is this." Not to mention that my mother wants to eat honey, she just wants to eat rabbit meat from the Heavenly Palace, and I have to find a way to get it to honor my mother. I don't speculate about my mother's heart, and I beg my mother to treat me clearly, and I can do my daughter's duty. ”
The ghost mother nodded, and her white blind eyes suddenly sparkled with water.
Yu Qi wiped away her tears for the ghost mother and comforted: "I don't speak in proportion, it's because I don't respect the elders enough as a junior." Please don't blame Mom. Now that I understand it, I naturally don't think about it. Mom, don't worry, I'll go out. ”
After that, he took off his clothes and put them on the ghost mother, because the ghost mother was soaked with a basin of water just now.
The ghost mother insisted on not wanting to, and while pushing Yu Qi away, she said: "I have lived under this for decades, and I am used to it, it is the same if I have one more drape and one less drape, it will not hurt my body, and my body is not so weak." But you, don't get sick. ”
The clothes that Yu Qi had taken off, the ghost mother pushed them back alive.
Yu Qi refused to take it, stuffed it into the ghost mother's hand, and said: "Mom, don't shirk, you used to be alone and you couldn't help yourself, but now with me, I will not let you suffer from the lonely cold." ”
The ghost mother was moved to the heart.
The sound stopped, and Yu Qi picked up the lamp and walked out quickly. Inside, the ghost mother smelled that there was still smoke, so she dug up the mud from the bottom and sprinkled it on the fire to cover it up.
When she went outside, she saw some smoke coming out of the ground not far away, so she hurried over there to find some dead grass leaves to cover, but how to cover it?
Because she was afraid that the smoke would rise, she really recruited people from the Zhuang Mansion to inquire, she thought about it, and there was smoke underneath, and it was impossible to say it, I had to cover it up.
Thinking like this, she immediately ran back to the pavilion, found a fire, and lit a fire in the smoking place, if there was only one pile, she felt that it was contrived, and the traces were heavy and suspicious, so she burned it in several places.
Before it stopped, Yu Qi sat on the stone and rested for a while. Before he could think of it, a voice came from outside Shizhai, saying, "Don't go anywhere!" All are carefully inspected and checked. ”
Yu Qi exclaimed in his heart: "It's good to come out to cover up, otherwise it would be terrible, if I was discovered, wouldn't my ghost mother blame me." ”
Because I thought: The second wife of Beifu is bent on harming Sanxi, if she knows that Sanxi was rescued here, she will inevitably chase Shizhai with a ruthless hand, and at that time, even she will not be able to escape. It's no wonder that the second wife kindly came to Shizhai to see herself, and it turned out that she remembered whether Sanxi had escaped to find herself, so she caught it all. What a vicious woman's heart, such a vicious second wife!
The more I thought about it, the more serious I felt, and the more uneasy I became.
Just then, the door outside the stone house opened, and Jiangzhu led the two girls in.
Yu Qi saw them from afar, so he got up and went to meet them. Here, Yu Qi didn't want Jiangzhu and them to come over and take a closer look.
Yu Qi remembered that she had escaped from the spirit house of the jewel, at this moment, it was a little unreasonable to appear here inexplicably, and she planned it, in order not to be abrupt, she pretended to be another look, and circled the knot of "escape" that day.
Therefore, Yu Qi was terrified and rushed to the front of Jiangzhu.
When Jiang Zhu saw Yu Qi, she was deeply frightened, and she was busy sending a little girl on the side to report to the county lord.
Right now, as soon as Yu Qi rushed over, he grabbed Jiang Zhu and said, "Sister is here, sister is here, I am really scared to death." I thought you weren't looking for me anymore! ”
As if she was stupid, she looked at Yu Qi in a daze.
Yu Qi said, rubbed his eyes a few times, rubbed them red, and said, "Is my sister here to find me?" Did my wife send my sister to me? ”
Jiang Zhu was surprised: "Girl...... Is the girl back? ”
Yu Qi said: "Yes, I'm back." Sister Baozhu's house, haven't you seen it? She came to life, turned the green cloth over, I called you, you can't hear, so I ran back in the rain and hid. ”
Jiangzhu was so frightened that her legs became weak, and said, "Don't ...... girl." Don't talk nonsense, Sister Baozhu has already gone. How did you live? ”
Yu Qi was terrified when she saw Jiangzhu, and she knew that she believed her words.
The girl on the side was also frightened, and said tremblingly: "Sister Jiangzhu, Miss Qi also said the same, I'm afraid that Sister Baozhu is really back!" ”
Jiang Zhu chirped: "The girl is scared to talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense about scaring the girl." ”
The little girl hung her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Yu Qi pretended to hear strange news and asked, "...... you Have you seen them all? What's the situation? ”
When the little girl saw Yu Qi asking, she rushed and said, "The girl doesn't know, when the spirit stopped a few days ago, black smoke came out of the house. They said that the girl had a good relationship with Sister Baozhu, and when they came to see the suppression, the black smoke was gone. Today, the black smoke came out again. It's not just in Sister Baozhu's house, it's also here. ”
Yu Qi secretly laughed in her heart, presumably they thought it was the ghost black smoke of the orb, but they didn't know that it was caused by her burning a fire underground. No wonder the ghost mother was very careful, saying that it was where the girls from Xifu lived, and it turned out that there would be smoke to make them suspicious.
If it weren't for the orb dead, cover it up with ghosts and ghosts, otherwise, this catastrophe would not have passed.
Yu Qi cooperated with the little girl's words, showed a frightened look, grabbed Jiang Zhu, and said, "Sister, is it true?" ”
Jiangzhu swallowed and said: "Girl, don't listen to this little hoof's nonsense, I'll tell my wife in a while, so as to tear her mouth." ”
When he said that, the girl who went back to report to the county lord came out of breath and said, "Mrs. asked Sister Jiangzhu to take the girl to the warm pavilion in the side courtyard." ”
Jiang Zhu nodded and gestured to Yu Li, probably asking Yu Qi to go out with him. In addition, Jiang Zhu looked at the smoke of the fire in the distance of Shizhai suspiciously, and before leaving, he instructed the little girl: "You go and see what the situation is." ”
The girl was going to go, but Yu Qi stopped her and said, "Sister, don't go, there are many snakes in that place, and I will burn a fire to scare the snakes." I don't know if I was scared away, but if I wasn't scared away, my sister went, and what if I stepped on it. ”
Hearing this, everyone sighed and took a few steps back in fright.
Jiangzhu sighed even more: "The girl's heart is also bold, why not be afraid?" In the past, I heard that there was a snake in this stone fast, and it was sprinkled with realgar, and I guess there is no more. How can there be it now? ”
Yu Qi shook his head, innocent. After all, the girls were stopped from visiting.
All the way to the warm pavilion of the side courtyard with Jiangzhu, Yu Qi begged Jiangzhu: "Sister have pity on me, give me some realgar, I will live there at ease in the future." ”
Jiangzhu said: "Since the girl said so, I naturally have to find it for the girl." However, I have seen my wife first, maybe the girl begged her wife, and her wife immediately ordered someone to sprinkle it, and it did not cost the girl to work hard with her hands and feet. ”
