Fighting for Themselves Chapter 22 Calculation
Half an hour after walking out of the barracks, Candle Sky found that there was always someone secretly following him, so he stopped and asked: "I don't know where it is sacred, dare to follow all the way here, are you really not afraid of death?"
A man jumped from the tree behind him, and it turned out to be the man with the dust whisk in his hand. The man stepped forward and said, "I know I'm no match for you, that's why I've been following you all the time." I'm doing this just in the hope that you'll be able to make a trip to my house, because my father has something to say to you. ”
After speaking, he timidly took a few steps back, for fear of fainting with another slap from Candle Tian. However, seeing a large bruise on the man's face, Candle Tian didn't say anything. He asked, "Who is my father?"
The man replied, "Jia Fu is my father, the old man you stayed with last time." ”
Candle Tian remembered that he just wanted to refuse, but Chen Xin said: "Then lead the way, I don't know if there are any medicinal materials and food that can be supplemented, you can take us around the village by the way." ”
Candle Tian knew that it was just the unicorn who felt sorry for himself, and wanted to buy some medicinal materials to replenish his physical strength, repair the internal injuries caused by the wolf and the lion as soon as possible, and calm the turmoil of the blood, so he readily agreed.
On the way back to Jia Fu's house, the unicorn was extremely sarcastic about Jia Fu's son, especially the scene where he used a spell to make Jia Fu kneel, which almost made the unicorn not finish abusing again, so scared that Jia Ping'an didn't dare to say a word.
It wasn't until he arrived at the best pharmacy near the village that Chen Xin shifted his gaze and stopped chasing Jia Ping'an around. After all, if you want Jia Ping'an to buy the best tonic for yourself, you must temporarily let go of the displeasure in your heart.
Jia Ping'an was also conscientious, helped to select a lot of precious medicinal materials, and after bargaining, he was satisfied to show off his ability to Chenxin.
It turned out that that day was not what they saw, everything was just an appearance, but even so, Chen Xin still did not give up, and fought with Jia Ping'an all the way to Jia Fu's house, wanting to hear what Jia Fu had to say.
When Jia Fu saw the candle sky again, the joy in his heart was unconcealable. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Candle Sky Young Hero, please forgive me for my sins, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have let you be treated like this." When I heard that you had been sent to the Colosseum, my heart did not rest for a moment, and I knelt down in front of the statue and prayed for you all the time. ”
Hearing this, Candle Tian interrupted Jia Fu's words and said, "You said you were praying to the idol, but why can't I see where the idol?"
Chen Xin also echoed, "Yes, old man, don't blame us, if you lie to us today, your son Jia Ping'an will probably be in a different place." ”
Hearing this, Jia Fu was so frightened that he fell to his knees all of a sudden, his face full of horror. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and even Jia Ping'an took a few steps back. However, he still pretended to be bold and stepped forward to help his old father, and said with a weak heart: "My father is not lying, the statue is in the well behind my house, and I dare not put it out on weekdays, for fear that after letting people know about the report, everyone in my family will be beheaded." ”
Chen Xin felt puzzled, so he asked, "You are so close to Zhou Mountain here, it should be normal to worship the statue, what is there to hide?"
The old man glanced at the wooden door, and saw that the wooden bolt and the top door stick on the door were still intact, so he trembled and walked to the well behind him with the candle sky. Sure enough, under the command of the old man Jia Fu, Jia Ping'an quickly hung a statue of a god three people tall from the well.
At a glance, Candle Tian saw that it was the statue of the great god Luo Wen, and the nine-turn serial knife in his hand was lifelike, exactly the same as what he often saw, as well as the domineering divine power and the robe that moved in the wind, they were all so kind and familiar.
Candle Tian stroked the idol, knowing that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly said: "You should have worshiped the idol of the great god Luo Wen for a long time, so do you think it works?"
Jia Fu said categorically: "Of course it works, otherwise we would still be doing with the statue." ”
Jia Ping'an said: "Now you should believe my words." I didn't mean to ask my dad to kneel in public, but I had to. ”
Jia Fu and Jia Ping'an carefully put the idol into the well again, saying that they were putting it in, but in fact they did not hang it out of the well at all, but just rose to a position that everyone could see. The reason why this is the case is because Jia Fu personally repaired the wellhead again, and reduced the original wellhead to the size that only one person can enter, and the statue is the size of three people, and it is really impossible to take out the whole thing.
However, although the statue is made of wood, it can be kept for hundreds of years without rotting, indicating that the wood chosen by Jia Fu's ancestors is the best wood, which can not only resist corruption but also prevent moisture, which shows the piety of his ancestors to the statue. Even the faint traces of the burning of spices and tributes by the well can be seen clearly at a glance.
After Candle Tian apologized repeatedly, Jia Fu finally stopped being afraid of unicorns and gradually let down his guard, then said.
"That night, I waited for Ping An to come back, and I was anxious that he would be safe and sound, and that he would not be arrested by the officers and soldiers for the sake of the idol, and if that would happen, he would have been sent to the Colosseum to feed the beasts. ”
Ping'an said, "You probably don't know that at least three of the armor soldiers who came in with me that day were monks, and they were much more capable than me, and if my father was the slightest disrespectful, they would have found a reason to arrest them." And I have always been an unfilial son in the eyes of outsiders, and if I don't do something, they will be suspicious, and they will start to search all the corners of my house, and it will be easy to find the statue. At that time, our whole family will be tied up to the execution ground and executed on the spot. ”
Jia Fu continued: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let my neighbors come into my house to worship God." Probably because the children of his family were ignorant and accidentally leaked their mouths, which attracted officers and soldiers to search. Although the neighbors repeatedly explained that there was no such thing as a god idol in my house, the officers and soldiers who heard the wind brought peace to the barracks. I don't know what benefits this kid promised to the butler, so I could wait for him to come back in the middle of the night. Presumably, he suffered a lot in the military camp before he paid for the monks to come and dispel his doubts and perfunctory. I had already prepared to go into the well and put the idol in a corner of the well close to the ground, so that even if they searched it, they would never go down to such a small well themselves. ”
Chen Xin glanced at Jia Ping'an and said, "I know how you deceived those monks. You must have often told them that your father was as timid as a mouse, and that he would fall to his knees in fear when he saw the officials, and as for that day, you kid must have even calculated us. ”
Candle Tian was puzzled, and asked Chen Xin and said, "Chen Xin, don't sell Guanzi, just say it." ”
Chen Xin smiled and said, "I said don't be angry. Remember not to get angry. ”
In fact, after Jia Ping'an came back that day, he first found out about his father's problem as soon as possible. His father must have just worshipped the idol and still had a dirt mark on his knee that he could see, so he
It was a flash of inspiration and remembered what I had said when I was drinking or bragging. That's like kneeling. ”
So he immediately used his own spell to make his father fall to his knees, so that he could easily hide the fact that his father had soil on his knees. However, this is not the most absolute, I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out, and finally knew that this kid even calculated for us. ”
"He deliberately made a big fuss to get us out, and that's his second plan. Because he had already seen the nine-turn serial knife in the corner, he also recognized our identity. I know very well that as long as we see the movement in the living room, as the mission of the Protoss to save the dead and the wounded and save the people, we will naturally come out and intervene. In this way, he easily turned his attention to us, and made us scapegoats for the idol incident. ”
"And his best thing to do at the moment is to do nothing, so he chose to provoke you, deliberately saying that the Nine Turns Serial Knife is a scrap iron, let you beat him for a while, he will fall to the ground, and his father is the Jia Lao Dad in front of us, and he will not dare to move because of fear. ”
And at that moment, those who had always been high in the armor and the monks among them would find the only person on the scene who could still stand. And that man was undoubtedly the two of us. So we were also calculated by this kid. ”
In the end, the father and son prayed to the idol, knowing that it was irreparable. After all, it is a more serious sin to provoke officers and soldiers than to worship idols. And the real purpose of their worship is only to ask for forgiveness from the Protoss and give us two a ride. ”
After hearing this, Candle Tian was shocked in his heart, and muttered: "I see, it seems that I was sold by someone else, and I am still counting the money for him, I am really ashamed." ”
Chen Xin said: "Later, Father Jia came back to us and directly dismantled the idol, just to dispel our anger. Because they know that if we wait until we figure it out and then go forward to apologize, it will inevitably cause losses. So he chose to admit it directly and avoid leaving a disaster. ”
Candle Tian said: "No wonder you said that you were helping to lead the way to buy medicinal herbs, you are so active, it turns out that you already know our identity." However, it is appropriate to push such a thing on us, and we will not be left in the Colosseum anyway. However, Jia Ping'an, you must remember that in the future, you must not use the lives of those innocent people to exonerate yourself. Especially those ordinary people, otherwise even the idols of the gods would not bless you. ”
Jia Ping'an and Jia Fu were not angry when they saw Candle Tian, and the boulder in their hearts finally landed, and then they remembered that they had prepared a lot of delicacies to welcome the arrival of the two benefactors.
