Chapter 37: The Wine Bureau
As if seeing hope, Lai Aju stretched out her hands with a happy face, took the small pile of red paper figures, and then left quickly.
Then as he concocted, one after another red paper rose from the ground and floated in front of Sai Qingfeng, turning into one red paper figure after another.
In just a few minutes, all the red paper in the place was torn clean, and just looking at the blood-red confetti in that place, it was enough to guess how huge the number of paper people was.
There are thousands of people, even if there are five people in a family, it will take at least two hundred households, and its workload is not to be underestimated, even with our help, when all the paper figures are distributed according to the head, the sun has quietly set.
I don't know how many times I ran back and forth in the whole village, so that both legs were a little sore.
When we joined Sai Qingfeng again, he gave each of us an extra paper figure according to our heads.
Then Sai Qingfeng stepped onto the altar, raised his legs and sat down with his eyes closed, and when he saw this, he didn't bother, and each took the paper man back to his residence.
After returning to the residence, the four of us inserted a paper figure into the ground in front of the door, revealing only half of our bodies on the surface.
I'm really tired after a busy day's work, and besides, I've shed so much blood, so I really need to rest well.
Several of us lay down one after another, but Lai Aju did not lie down for a long time, but paced back and forth in the room alone, as if worried about the safety of the whole clan.
Seeing this, Liu Tingting opened her mouth to comfort and said: "Sister Aju, rest early, it's useless for you to worry like this, those paper figures that Mr. Sai took a lot of effort to get are actually stand-ins for everyone, and they will definitely survive this catastrophe." ”
"Well, I hope so."
Lai Aju agreed, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile on her face.
Just as Lai Aju was about to lie down, there was a sudden sound of noise outside the door, which made Lai Aju immediately alert again.
"Sister Aju, have you slept?"
Suddenly, a woman's soft voice came from outside the house, and it sounded so familiar.
"Who?" Lai Aju asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Ah Hua."
As soon as I heard that it was Ah Hua, Lai Aju hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door of the house, and I just lay down, and when I heard that Ah Hua was coming, I immediately sat up from the bamboo bed.
There was only one candle in the room, which was very dim, but as Ah Hua entered, the room became much brighter, because Ah Ju was carrying a white paper lantern in her hand.
Seeing the lantern made me feel a chill in my heart.
Fortunately, I know Ah Hua, if I don't know this, I suddenly saw this scene, and thought that the person carrying the lantern was a female ghost.
"Ah Hua, it's so late, is there something wrong with you coming to me? You know, it's not safe at night. Lai Aju said.
Ah Hua nodded slightly and said, "Well, thank you Sister Ah Ju for your concern, that ...... That one...... Actually, I came to find him ......! ”
I was sitting on the bamboo bed stupidly, waiting to hear Ah Hua's reason for finding Lai Aju, but I didn't expect Ah Hua to raise her hand and point her finger at me.
"What? Looking for me? Do? I said with a blank look on my face.
Seeing me speak, Ah Hua lowered her head shyly and said, "That...... It was my father who asked me to invite you. ”
"Your Daddy, please me? Did you tell me what was going on? I asked, a little confused.
"This ...... I don't know, Daddy only asked me to invite you, and didn't say anything else. ”
Anyway, I don't have much to do with Ah Hua's father, at most, I just helped him at his house today, and I really don't know why he asked Ah Hua to call me.
If this were to be changed to daytime, and then to be changed to a thing that does not have daylight, I would not hesitate to agree, but now......
"Well, this ......!"
I don't know how to answer, even though I looked at Lai Aju on the side.
Lai Aju thought for a moment and said to me: "In addition to that Lai Aotian, Ah Hua's father has the highest rank in the clan, he wants to invite you to go, you can go, anyway, it is just dark now, go early and return early." ”
Seeing that Lai Aju said this, if I don't go, it will not be the face of the elders, so I immediately agreed, put on my clothes and shoes.
"I'm going too!"
Liu Tingting suddenly jumped up from the bed and stared at Ah Hua with a displeased face, as if Ah Hua owed her eight hundred hanging money.
"Tingting, don't go, it's him who was invited, and it's not good for you to go." Lai Aju said.
"But ......!"
Liu Tingting was unwilling to say something, but she was choked back by a look from Lai Aju.
I don't understand women's minds very well, but I'm not a fool, Liu Tingting's jealousy performance, I see it in my eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
I smiled at Liu Tingting very affectionately, which made her blush directly and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Okay, Ah Hua, let's go, don't let your father wait in a hurry."
"yes, okay."
So, Ah Hua and I turned around and went out, walking on the road that was getting darker and darker, and moving forward step by step.
Although the night had come, it had not yet reached the time when it was completely dark, and the moon had just risen, and it still looked a little white.
Ah Hua walked silently in front of her with a lantern, and I didn't know what to say to her, so I just became dumb and followed behind her.
After a while, I followed Ah Hua into his house.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt a lot of brightness, and there were many white lanterns in the corners of the room, so that the scene in front of me was unobstructed.
"You're here, young man." Ah Hua's father hurriedly greeted me with a smile.
"Uncle, are you looking for me for something?" I asked.
"Come on, come on, sit down, it's not a big deal, I just want to treat you to a meal, as a way to thank you for saving our family's life."
Looking closely, I seemed to understand the purpose of inviting me to come, just like Ah Hua's father said, and there was a freshly prepared and steaming meal on the table in front of me.
Although Miao Village is not as good as the outside world, big fish, big meat, mountains and seafood, it is also meat and vegetarian with color, flavor and flavor, and it should be regarded as a pure natural green organic food.
Not only did there be delicious food, but there was even wine, just looking at the wine in a bamboo tube, it reminded me of the flower wine that Ah Hua asked me to drink before, and I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Or seeing my worries, Ah Hua's father said with an embarrassed smile: "Young man, I'm really sorry, Ah Hua was also for our old couple before, so I ...... You have a lot of adults, so you shouldn't worry about this girl. ”
"Ah, no, no." I hurriedly replied.
"Don't worry, there is no Gu poison in this wine, don't believe me to drink it to you!"
In order to dispel my doubts, Ah Hua's father got a cup by himself and drank it directly.
I just reacted instinctively just now, and I also knew that Ah Hua's dad wouldn't do that, and when I saw Ah Hua's daddy, he drank a glass by himself first to show his respect, and I didn't want to say anything more, just drink it.
"Come on, boy, don't drink and eat!"
I politely agreed, but I really didn't move a few bites, not that the food was not delicious, but that I had to lie down and rest before I came, so naturally I had already eaten dinner, and it was good to drink a few glasses of wine with Ah Hua's father.
I'm not a cup of money, and I know better than anyone what to do when I should do it.
Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker and darker, I decided to go back.
Ah Hua's father seemed to see that I was leaving, and hurriedly poured me another glass of wine, "Come on, young man, I see that you have almost drunk it, just the wine in the glass, dry!" ”
Seeing that Ah Hua's father said this, he must have intended to let me go back to rest early, so I didn't say anything more, picked up the wine glass and dried it clean.
After drinking, I stood up and said with a smile: "That old man, thank you for your hospitality, it's not too early, I'll go back first." ”
I wanted to turn around and leave, but at this time, Ah Hua's father suddenly grabbed my wrist and said with a smile: "Ah Hua has already made the bed, I see you live here tonight." ”
"Ah......?"
