Grandma Liu smiled when she saw everyone, and she also knew that she had successfully amused everyone.

She then smiled and said, "There are many people who grow vegetables in our rural villages, and there is no idle land.

Every day of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the wind and rain, there is a space to sit, every day is on the head of the land as a pavilion, what strange things are missing.

Just like last winter, it snowed for several days in a row, and the ground was three or four feet deep.

I got up early that day, and I hadn't left the room yet, but I heard the sound of firewood and grass outside.

I thought someone must have come and stole my firewood and grass while it was dark.

I climbed through the window and looked out, and saw that the man was not from our village. ”

Mother Jia was also slightly stunned when she heard this.

Theft is also a common thing in the Rongguo Mansion.

If you put it in the countryside in the poor countryside, I am afraid that it will be more common.

So, Mother Jia followed Grandma Liu's topic and asked: "This must be because the guests passing by are cold, and when they see ready-made firewood, they can smoke some fire." ”

Grandma Liu smiled: "It's not a passing guest, so it's strange."

What kind of person should the old birthday boy be? It turned out to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old very Peugeot girl, with a slick hair, a big red jacket, and a white silk skirt--"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard people outside shouting, and said, "It's irrelevant, don't bluff the old lady." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly asked what was wrong, and the maid replied: "There is water in the stable in the south courtyard, it is irrelevant, and it has been saved." ”

Jia Mu was the most timid, and when she heard this, she hurriedly got up and asked people to help her out of the corridor to take a look, only to see that the fire in the southeast direction was shining in the sky, reflecting that the whole sky became red and translucent.

Jia Mu was frightened by the scene in front of her and hurriedly recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Buddha, you have to bless our family with peace and security!" ”

After that, Jia Mu immediately ordered people to go to the house where the god of fire was worshiped to burn incense and pray for blessings, wanting to use the power of this god to protect the Rongguo Mansion.

The water in Rongguo's mansion was walked, and the fire burned all over the sky, which also made everyone in the mansion panic.

Mrs. Wang and the others also came over to inspect Jia's mother's situation, and the daughters-in-law and grandmothers of the inner house also came to say goodbye, "Ancestor, there is nothing to do!" ”

When Jia Mu saw Mrs. Wang and the others coming, she also shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to do here, this fire is burning fiercely, you have to take a closer look, don't let this fire burn!" ”

The ancient houses were all wooden houses, and once the fire of the prairie was uncontrollable, then the entire Rongguo Mansion was very likely to be burned down by this fire.

Therefore, a fire was not a trivial matter in ancient times, and even in modern society, it is still a big matter of human life and great disaster.

Mrs. Wang and the others came over, and said, "I have arranged for someone to put out the fire, it should be fine, the old lady, please go into the room and rest." ”

Jia Mu refused to leave.

She was determined to stay here and watch, for fear that the fire would come to this side.

After Jia's mother stayed for a while and watched the fire in the distance gradually extinguish, she led everyone into the house to sit and rest.

The people next to him also felt strange when they saw the flames.

Especially Xiangling glanced at the distance, and always felt that this matter was strange, and maybe there was some ulterior secret.

(

At this moment, Xiangling was pondering in her heart: This fire, I have to go down and ask the specific situation.

Jia Baoyu didn't have a heart or lungs, she didn't feel anything, and she was still worried about the rural story told by Grandma Liu before, so she hurriedly asked Grandma Liu: "What does that girl do in the snow to smoke your firewood and grass?" Could it be because she was sick from the cold and needed to make a fire to keep warm? ”

Jia Mu looked at Jia Baoyu, because the fire in her own horse shed just now affected her mood, so she frowned and said: "It's all because we just said that smoking firewood and grass caused a fire, otherwise, maybe there is no such thing!"

You still ask.

Don't talk about this, I feel bad luck when I mention this, so let's talk about something else. ”

Seeing that Jia's mother was angry, Jia Baoyu was not very happy.

Jia Baoyu was not sensitive to this matter, but felt that it was just a fire in the house and a water walk, which was not a big deal.

He didn't have much of a concept in his head at all.

I thought it was a child's play and other small things, and it wasn't worth his attention.

However, when Jia Baoyu heard what Jia Mu said, although she was unhappy in her heart, she had no choice but to give up.

After all, no matter how much Jia Baoyu plays with his temper, he can't resist Jia's mother.

Seeing this, Grandma Liu also knew that she had just finished her story, and before she finished speaking, it caused a fire and hated the old lady.

Although this matter really has nothing to do with Grandma Liu, it can't stand Jia's mother's superstition!

Mother Jia took it for granted that she was listening to Grandma Liu talk about the firewood and grass pile, and it was because of this incident that she caused a fire, so she was not very happy in her heart.

is even more because Jia's mother is timid and can't stand such a scare.

Therefore, Grandma Liu can only dig out her mind and think of a new story again.

After a moment of silence, Grandma Liu thought of a new story, and just said with a smile: "In the village east of our Zhuangzi, there is an old grandmother who is over ninety years old this year.

He eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and who knows that he was moved by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

At night, the Bodhisattva came to the dream and said, 'You are so pious, you should have been the last one, but now you have played the Jade Emperor and given you a grandson.' ’

It turned out that this grandmother only had one son, and this son only had one son, and it was easy to raise her until she was seventeen or eighteen years old and died, crying or something.

As a result, I raised another one, I am only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and I was born with a snow ball, very smart and clever.

It can be seen that there should be these things of gods and Buddhas. ”

Grandma Liu, what a smart character.

Before Jia Mu ordered people to sacrifice to the god of fire, burn incense and pray for blessings, and a series of Amitabha Buddhas, it is enough to see how devout this old lady believes in gods and Buddhas.

What does such a believer like to hear?

The answer, of course, is about good things like the apparitions of gods and Buddhas.

Sure enough, after Grandma Liu's words, it really perfectly matched the hearts of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and even Mrs. Wang, who had always eaten fasting and recited Buddha, was frightened by Grandma Liu's story and was fascinated.

Jia Baoyu doesn't like these stories of gods and gods, and always feels that this story is too ethereal, and it is not as good as the previous story.

In his heart, he only remembered the story of smoking firewood and grass that Grandma Liu told before.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu didn't talk much, and thought about the back story in his heart sullenly.
