Living up to Dou Yaer's "invitation", Zhou Mengyuan and Qiaoshan old monsters went to the Qi family village to participate in the condolences for the death of the old village owner, and many people had already entered the mountain gate of the Qi family village.

On the way down the mountain, there are still groups of people coming in groups of threes and twos.

On the banner of the mountain gate, there is a flower made of a knot of white silk cloth with a few feet, and the door frames on both sides are also hung with white silk swaying in the wind and desolate.

On the way to the depths of the cottage, all kinds of stone carvings and trees on both sides are wrapped in filial piety and deep mourning.

The Qijia village strengthened its vigilance, and the soldiers with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry hung small white flowers on their chests, their faces were solemn, and they looked like they were crying with authentic sadness, as if they had died of their fathers and mothers.

The old monster of Qiao Shan walked all the way and thought to himself, on the night of the horse theft, this road was not so long, but it was only a few movements to go out of the mountain gate, and the walk was so exhausting.

The deeper you go, the more grand it looks, and the deeper you go, the more intense the white hue becomes.

It can really be said: several white silk wrapped in cottages, and tens of thousands of people gathered to hang the heroes.

Definitely!

It's just a filial piety wish of the master, and the people who come have their own ideas.

There must be someone cursing in their hearts, these bandits who have lost their conscience are all dead.

Zhou Mengyuan's steps were light, proud, full of spring breeze, talking and laughing leisurely, and listening to the old monster was upset.

As soon as he stepped into the second gate, he was solemnly warned by a soldier, "Hey, this hanger, the sky is low and the clouds are falling, what kind of coke do you have? Do you know what a mourning is after eating a whip?"

Old Qiao Shan couldn't bear it, and laughed: "This little brother is a little immoral in speaking, we will laugh and laugh, we will naturally cry when we go in, and it will cry loudly, if you don't believe it, you can follow and take a look." ”

The soldier was interested, ignored it, pressed the small white flower hanging on his chest, and turned his gaze away.

Entering the main gate of the third "Qijia Village", all the arrangements are more grand and meticulous.

The plain scene like heavy snow is no less than the style of mourning an emperor's concubine.

Qiao Shan said strangely: "With such a luxurious costume, which one is not the blood and lives of the common people within a radius of a hundred miles?"

"Yes. Zhou Mengyuan said, "We have to hurry up and get rid of this village, so that the people will no longer lose their property and die." ”

······

Not far from the mourning hall, under a makeshift tent, there is a ceremonial table and a reception table;

On both sides of the table, there were six white-clothed girls dressed in filial piety clothes like fairies, and they added a lot of wind to the table. When someone came, his wife repeatedly told him not to pay a gift of more than five taels of silver, under the noses of such a beautiful six girls, how could five taels of silver be taken out, and he would raise face, "Come, I'll go up to twenty taels!"

These six fairy girls are the "executive" maids specially invited by the Qi family village, hired as the image ambassador Gao Xin, eating youth rice, directly disciplined by the cottage lady, in terms of safety, even the house lover Qi Hengxing does not want to touch a toe. Usually do nothing, eat and sleep, just learn etiquette, dress up, protect the image, only in the village when important things, dignitaries will show up, the employment contract is signed once a year, the salary is paid at the end of each month, every year before and after the summer solstice, the east solstice can take turns to visit the home once, ten days of vacation, if there is no professional performance, Party A has the right to terminate the contract at any time, the salary of the month is invalid... This is the most superior job in the Qi family's village, these girls are all from the Qi family's related households waiting to get married.

Next to the reception table, there is a bamboo basket with a diameter of too long, the basket is filled with small white flowers, and those who salute need not say much, all those who come must receive it, and hang one on the chest or arm.

The person who managed the distribution of small flowers, seeing that Zhou Mengyuan was neatly dressed and the fabric was expensive, asked a special question: "Young master, do you want to give a gift?"

Zhou Mengyuan shook his head, took a flower and hung it on his chest, and took another one to hang on the old monster, the old monster looked at it and smiled, "Hehe! Hang the white flower, the laugher doesn't dare to laugh." ”

With the flow of people, the master and apprentice went to pay tribute to Boss Qi.

After queuing for a long time, I became the leader.

The old monster of Qiaoshan poured wine, burned incense, and burned paper in front.

Zhou Mengyuan knelt behind him and only bowed.

The mourning hall is very large, with a square circle of eight zhang.

Flowers and fruits blocked the coffin.

After the fruit offering, among the flowers, there is a portrait of the deceased.

Zhou Mengyuan glanced at it and secretly admired the exquisite craftsmanship of the portrait person.

There is no other reference, just the pair of ferocious leopard eyes, from the shape to the aura, are depicted too much like Qi Hengxing.

People who don't know the truth think that Qi is rampant and dead at first glance.

The memorial service is over.

When he got up to return the salute, Zhou Mengyuan raised his eyes slightly, and recognized at a glance that the birdman was also among the filial sons.

Could it be ······

······

In the other yard, there is a place for meals.

- Actually, many people come to the dinner table.

Three large iron pots of two feet eight, one stew, one boiled soup, and one steamed steamed buns.

Smoke curls and the smell of burnt food mixed with the aroma of stew.

The sound of chopping vegetables and the sound of a spoon hitting the edge of the bowl, combined with the sound of bellows, form a symphony.

More than a dozen cooks were busy.

The kind-hearted chef, wiping his sweat, kept babbling to the beater, "Beat more, put more cheeks, and pour more red oil." ”

The old monster and Zhou Mengyuan also made meals, and together with nearly 100 people, they squatted on the ground and ate fragrantly.

The old monster said, this tastes good, let Zhou Mengyuan eat more.

Zhou Mengyuan said that the meat is oily and watery, and it does not taste as good as Qin'er's tune.

There are also people next to me who are discussing, will you come back tomorrow? Come every day. This is a high-quality meal that doesn't pay for nothing, and you don't eat it for nothing.

That's right. How good it should be for the Qi family to die every day. We don't have to farm.

Talk nonsense. What we eat, didn't the Qi family plunder it from the common people?

Dou Ya'er is here.

Wearing a filial piety suit, he also held two white clothes in his hands.

The behavior and expression are a bit sneaky.

Among the ragged, dirty, squatting, and eating like a rather dirty cropper, the more slim and slim it looks.

Zhou Mengyuan called her from afar.

Dou Ya'er heard the beckoning, walked like a plum blossom pile, and came through the gap between the diners.

He took Master and Brother Yuan aside and said, "I have brought a filial piety robe for each of you, and you can wear it and walk around the courtyard." ”

"Hey, no, no, no!" Qiao Shan's old monster waved his hand and retreated: "Why did the master give him filial piety?"

"Be quiet!" Dou Ya'er looked around and said, "This is for you to disguise." It's a pass. ”

"I want to. ”

Zhou Mengyuan said, took the filial piety clothes and put them on.

The old monster also understood, and muttered in his mouth that he took one and put it on.

"Be careful! Xiao Ya'er still has to keep a watch, so she will take her leave first. ”

Putting on filial piety clothes, Zhou Mengyuan and Qiao Shan's old monster looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Neither of them thought that this little bud with a very big grinning and childish spirit would be able to come up with such a ridiculous and funny idea, and needless to say, they forced Qiao Shan and Zhou Mengyuan to agree without thinking about it.

When the diner saw it, he whispered, "Those two may be distant relatives who have no money, put on filial piety clothes, and they can have a big meal inside." ”

"Isn't it? The Qi family is very good to their own family, and treats outsiders like a beast treats a rabbit. ”

The sun has set in the west.

Zhou Mengyuan and Old Monster Qiao Shan have almost transferred the main area of the Qi family village.

The old monster said: "Mengyuan, after walking this circle, I have seen and seen, and I have seen and seen, do you have any ideas?"

Zhou Mengyuan blurted out: "You can't leave like this." I had already thought about the future and wanted to leave some souvenirs. ”

Coincide with!

Old Monster Qiao Shan nodded in agreement.

So, the two of them came to the gate of the warehouse yard.

A faithful big-flowered dog wrinkled its nose and bared two sharp canine teeth, and gritted it.

Old Monster Qiao Shan silently recited a mantra and pointed his finger - "Ding!"

The big flower dog was drunk, and immediately collapsed there.

"Hey, what are you doing? You can't just enter here. ”

One of the two guards warned from afar.

"We are our own family, we are filial sons, and the stewards have come to get something. ”

"Do you have a signature credential?"

"Yes!"

While speaking, Zhou Mengyuan and Old Monster Qiao Shan had already come to the caretaker.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the old monster of Qiao Shan flew to point out.

"Smack" twice.

The two soldiers, who were suspicious just now, instantly turned into two human trunks, and they were motionless and fixed there.

Zhou Mengyuan and Qiao Shan's old monster entered the warehouse.

Wow!

The stuff inside is piled up.

Furniture, fabrics, antiques, jewelry, clothing······

The old monster brought in the fine wooden furniture and piled it on top of his clothes.

I still don't feel angry.

And he took all that could be burned, and threw it upon his garments and furniture.

Zhou Mengyuan took out the fire-making tools that he had prepared when he took them out, rubbed them a few times to make a fire, threw them in the pile of clothes, and the two left quickly.

Go back to the courtyard where the rice was kept.

There are very few people who eat anymore.

The chef sits by the cauldron and smokes his pipe.

Some of the people who help with the stove sit idly, and some clean up with a broom.

Sneak into hiding place.

Zhou Mengyuan and Qiao Shan's old monster took off their filial piety clothes and left pretending to be eaters.

Almost all the soldiers in the village were arranged for the funeral in the front mountain.

No one expected that the courtyard of the main mountain in the back mountain, which had always been safe and sound, would suddenly catch fire?

Who is so bold that he dares to light a fire in the Qijia village!

Qi Hengxing, who cried so much that his eyelids swollen into bubbles, came to the scene to direct the firefighting, and he was furious and scolded.

Some of the firefighting soldiers were choked and fainted.

Some people don't know how to water it, and they sprinkle it all over their bodies, like a chicken in soup.

Some of their clothes were on fire, and they ran out of the warehouse and took them off quickly, grinning but not daring to speak of pain.

The two who had been spotted were carried to safety.

Although he was safe, he was exposed to the scorching sun.

Qi walked over, bent down to take a closer look, kicked out with two feet, and unlocked the acupuncture points.

It's a beating to catch.

"It was a relative of the owner of the village who did it. ”

"It was done by two filial sons. ”

The two beaten men hurriedly knelt down and explained.

Qi Hengxing turned around, and his feet rose a little, like clouds and mist, and came to the front of the mourning hall.

At this time, the lonely and desolate Qiuyun Courtyard is also lively.

The dozen or so concubines who were left out, although they were dressed in linen and filial piety, they all deliberately wore heavy makeup, smiling proudly, and were talking and laughing.

"Look at the smoke, it's like a rainbow after a rainstorm, and it's still colorful?"

"Isn't it? This fire came a little later, and if it was placed on dog days, it would be refreshing. ”

"That's it. It's best to turn this ghost place into ashes with a fire, and the old lady will be freed. ”

······

Immediately summoned all the filial sons, and ordered to call the two soldiers who were pointed, and they were all rampant.

Parents, peers, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren.

Nearly 100 people, I clicked twice, and none of them were bad.

Dou Ya'er, who was standing at the back of the team, analyzed the reason, and thought to herself, this master and Zhou Mengyuan are too bold, and they are actually ······

deliberately said loudly: "Uncle, Xiao Ya'er is obedient, she has been staying by her grandfather's side, and she has not run around once." ”

Qi Hengxing snorted in his nostrils and ignored it.

When he walked up to Yida and another tall boy, Qi Hengxing asked, "You two, why don't you wear filial piety clothes?"

Touching his head and picking at his nails, he couldn't answer.

"Kneel!" Qi Hengxing said sharply, "If you can't tell clearly, I'll bury your grandfather!"

When the mother of the two sons heard this, she quickly came to her knees and begged for mercy.

I'm already so angry that I blow my beard and stare at it.

Where can Qi Hengxing take care of these.

shouted: "Dare to intercede again, kill you two!"

The two concubines trembled and knelt down and retreated.

"Wow-"

Sada was so frightened that he cried: "The two of us went to the toilet and patted the filial piety clothes dirty, so we took them off and put them outside, but I didn't expect that after coming out, the filial piety clothes couldn't be found." Uh-huh—"

I see!

Someone had already laid an ambush, and it depends on who hit it.

The child is innocent.

Seeing Qi Hengxing's slight hesitation, Qi Yue immediately stood up and said: "Father, according to the child's observation, the number of people who came to pay their respects today is more than two thousand, and from tomorrow, the number of people coming will increase suddenly. The child pleaded, and the father was implored to think twice about the loss of filial piety clothes by Sada and Wanda. ”

Jing Guan Qi is rampant and treats the lives of outsiders like autumn grass, but treats his relatives amiably.

After a pause, he said: "These days, extraordinary times, have opened my eyes wide, and I will never allow any mistakes to go wrong." Our Qi family can't afford to lose this person!"

Dou Ya'er quietly patted her chest - the hanging heart finally fell.

Qi Yue glanced at the two younger brothers, and the eyes seemed to say, you have to listen to your brother's words in the future, in front of her father, your brother's speech still has weight.
