Chapter 270: Entrustment
On the seventh day of the third month, at night.
The camp of the Prairie Society was still lit with bonfires, and a large group of people sang and danced around the fire, and I don't know if those people have been tireless, or if they have been replaced by newcomers.
Song You still arrived with the little girl, found Lin Le's family sitting on the edge, greeted each other with a smile, and sat with them.
"This grassland will be really lively."
Song You looked at the front and couldn't help but say.
"Tomorrow is the most lively." Lin Chang said, and shook his head again, "But no matter how lively it is, it will only be lively for a few days a year, and the rest of the time, it will be so deserted, and sometimes even after ten days and half a month, you may not be able to see another person." ”
"yes."
Probably that's why the grasslands are lively.
"When will I go back?"
"Worship heaven and earth tomorrow, and go back the day after tomorrow, my son is a soldier in the north, Lin Le is still young, if the eldest son is at home, or wait a few more years, Lin Le will grow up, but maybe stay a few more days in this grassland meeting to find him a suitable woman." Lin Chang smiled, turned his head and asked, "When will Mr. leave?" ”
"I told Sanhua Niangniang that I would leave tomorrow."
"Leaving tomorrow? Tomorrow is the Prairie Society. ”
"It's enough to watch the excitement."
"Which way is the gentleman going?"
"Northside."
"There's a war going on in the north."
"I happen to have an acquaintance in the border army and want to go and see it." Song You looked at the group of people dancing around the fire in front of him, and said.
"My family is also a soldier in the north, and some time ago I was sending a letter back, saying that the fighting was fierce there." Lin Chang sighed, glanced at the lady beside him, frowned again, hesitated for a moment before turning around and turning his head, looking at the Taoist, "It's a coincidence, the insider dreamed of him last night." ”
The firelight was reflected in his eyes.
This posture was obvious, he wanted to ask for help from this Taoist who had not known each other for a long time but felt quite capable.
Song You obviously didn't look at him, but he seemed to feel his sorrow, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the man's frowning brows, and said: "I think about it day and night, and the mother and son are connected, and I think that Ling Zheng is also often worried about the eldest son in the army, so why worry about it?" ”
"She dreamed that her son was being burned by fire and wailed."
“……”
Song You narrowed his eyes, then withdrew his gaze, continued to look ahead, and after a while, he whispered relief: "I am not good at interpreting dreams, but I also know that dreams are ethereal, even the best dream interpreters are half-guessed, even real and mysterious dreams may just come out of thin air, just dreams, maybe just worry, not necessarily what it means." ”
Having said that, Lin Chang couldn't let go.
People believe in this in these days.
Even in the past, it was not common for people to die as ghosts, and if people dreamed that their deceased relatives and friends were starving from the cold, most of them had nothing to do with ghosts, but they had to burn some paper to remove them.
What's more, the mother and son are in deep love, and they dream of this kind of thing.
Lin Le was young and simple-minded, so he didn't seem to feel anything, he just wanted to go up and have fun with people, and asked Song You with a smile: "Sir, do you want to dance?" You don't have to be able to jump, just jump with everyone, it's fun. ”
"Nope."
"Sanhua Niangniang wants to go?"
"Nope."
The tone is almost exactly the same as that of the Taoist, but the voice is much thinner and milky.
"Then I'll go."
"Okay."
"Okay."
One before and one after two voices.
The boy walked forward, naturally blended into the crowd, and danced along with a smile on his face.
Song You only sat still, staring at the bonfire in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sanhua Niangniang also sat still, at first like him, looking at the bonfire in front of her, and turning her head to look at him from time to time, in order to observe what he was looking at, so that she could see the same place as him, but it was not long before she turned around boredly, sat with her back to the Taoist, and played with her fingers.
All kinds of musical instruments on the grassland play a natural and simple and passionate song together, the rhythm is bright, and everyone sings with the most simple voice, mostly praising life and heaven and earth, and eulogizing love and beauty. From time to time in the middle, a dark-faced and proficient singing man stood up, with a magical and loud voice in his throat, echoing in the vast and ancient night sky of this grassland, whenever this time, almost everyone would cast their eyes at him with a smile on their faces, even the busy Sanhua Niangniang also had to turn her head to see what was calling, that pair of eyes reflected the firelight, it was really bright, and the originally rough grassland man also became the most attractive person at this moment.
The flames burned brightly, crackling from time to time, exploding countless sparks, as if they were setting off the atmosphere.
Song You put aside distracting thoughts and quietly appreciated.
At this moment, a young official quietly walked behind Song You.
"Mr. ......"
For a moment, both the Taoist and the girl turned their heads to look.
Lin Chang also turned his head backwards.
Seeing that it was the official in charge of public security in the Dayan Mansion, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It's just that the young official was very polite, nodded and smiled at him, and then said to the Taoist, "Sir, can you take a step to speak?" ”
"Nature."
Song You nodded, and said to Lin Chang again: "I met with Lord Han in the camp earlier, so I went to talk to Lord Han first. ”
"Sir, please take care of yourself."
"Okay."
Only then did Song You get up and follow the young official.
The little girl next to him turned around and stared at him, turned her head to look at the bonfire, looked at Lin Chang, stretched out her arms, and followed.
At this time, almost everyone gathered around the campfire, and there was almost no one else in the camp except for the stealing and cheating men and women, and it was very quiet, and any place was a place for secret conversation.
The young official stood on the edge of a tent, and across from him stood a Taoist and a little girl dressed in tricolored clothes and pulling the corners of the Taoist's clothes.
The young official asked politely, "Sir, have you returned from Turtle City in the north?" ”
"Just came back today."
"Did the gentleman go during the day or at night?"
"Those who go at night leave the next morning."
"Do you see those ghosts?"
"Naturally, I did."
"How?"
The young official looked at him nervously and curiously.
"Lord Han has the people in his heart." Song You praised it with a smile, and then said, "I have already found out that the ghosts that plagued the people in Turtle City have fled, and the rest are all heroic souls who died in the north. ”
"Han Mou doesn't know that they are all heroic souls in the north, but ghosts are ghosts, people and ghosts have different paths, sometimes ghosts are harmless to people's hearts, and they are also harmful to people."
"A good ghost is harmless to people, and it is also harmful to people." Song You smiled, "Speaking of which, Sanhua Niangniang and I are also looking for Lord Han, so Lord Han will come to us first." ”
"Huh? Please speak, sir! ”
"I have already talked to the heroic souls in the city, asking them to reduce going out in the future, and also built a wall in front of the city gate, so that the cattle and sheep will not enter by mistake, and the herdsmen will go in in the evening to look for it, and make some trouble, and also cast a spell to isolate the yin and ghost qi in the city, so that it will not overflow and endanger the growth of plants and trees outside." Song You said to him, "I heard that the national teacher also sent a decree promising to give them shelter in this turtle city, if they are no longer chaotic in the future, I want to ask the adults not to go to their troubles again." ”
“?”
The young official was stunned for a moment, looked at the Taoist in front of him, and the little girl standing next to him, and then asked:
"Is what you said true?"
"I rarely lie under it." The Taoist replied calmly.
"That's right!" The little girl also nodded earnestly beside her.
“……”
Song You turned his head and lowered his head to look at her.
It feels kind of weird-
Somehow, when the Taoist himself said the words "rarely lie in the next", he was very calm in his heart, but after she nodded and agreed, he felt a little guilty.
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
The young official's eyes continued to widen and frown.
Regardless of his recklessness two nights ago, he asked the "immortals" to take action, and he was almost deceived, could he easily solve the matter of Turtle City when he met a Taoist casually?
How can such a thing be easily believed?
"Lord Han don't worry, don't do anything." Song You smiled and took out a small wooden plaque from his arms, "There are only two things that need to be told to the adults, and it can be regarded as asking Lord Han to bother more." ”
"W-What?"
"The first thing: although I told them, I didn't dare to guarantee whether they could keep their promises and no longer be chaotic. Lord Han is an official here, and he has been upright all his life, so he asked Lord Han to help supervise. ”
"What is this?"
"I set up a seal in Turtle City, and one day Lord Han found that the ghosts in the city began to make trouble again, so he picked a day and put this wooden card into the city. You don't have to put it in yourself, you just have to think of a way to throw it in or into it. ”
"Will this work?" The young official stared at him in a daze, thought about it and asked, "Even if it works, how can Mr. ensure that Han does not abuse it?" ”
"Haha, but the adults misunderstood!"
Song You explained with a smile: "This brand is not so useful, it can't kill all the ghosts in the city, it just breaks the seal in the city." The seal blocking the ghost qi and yin qi in the city will inevitably cause the yin qi and ghost qi to gather in the city, and when the seal is broken, the yin qi and ghost qi will be dispersed once it is released, and the movement will naturally be much more obvious than in normal times. The gods of the heavenly thunder must know. ”
After a pause, he continued: "In Hezhou, I have dealt with you Lei Gong a few times, especially Zhou Lei Gong, I roughly know what kind of person Zhou Lei Gong is, he will definitely go to the lower realm to investigate, as for whether the ghosts in the city are in chaos, it should be found out by Lei Gong, what punishment should be received, and it should be decided by Lei Gong, what Lord Han did was just to inform the gods." ”
“……”
When the young official heard this, he was even more shocked.
For a while, he didn't want to believe that a Taoist he casually met was such a master who could communicate with the gods, but when he thought about it rationally, he didn't feel like it was fake.
So he solemnly put away the wooden sign and bowed:
"Sir is really powerful!"
"Lord Han has won the prize, so please keep it properly and use it carefully." Song You said, "After all, there is only one chance. ”
"This is natural!"
The young official took a deep breath, and the thing in his arms was inexplicably a little heavier.
