Chapter Ninety-Seven: May the World Be a Pure Land
There are some miscellaneous items scattered in the firewood room, and it seems that there is really nothing unusual.
But since Bai Niang brought them here, there must be a reason.
The two of them looked at each other and began to rummage around.
Sure enough, in a corner, a secret door was found.
Entering through the secret door is a secret passage that connects to a secret room at the bottom.
There were several wooden chests in the secret room, and when they were opened, they contained gold and silver treasures.
Shi Qinghuan and Baili Huan were stunned on the spot and understood the abnormality of the matter.
Even if he robbed passers-by for several years, Sun Peng would not have saved so much treasure, and there must be other sources.
"Take a closer look at these treasures, and there may be other clues."
"Hmm."
The two of them nodded, and they both searched around, but after a look, these treasures were ordinary and unmarked, and there was no way to find them.
"Come and see this!"
The sound of Baili truss came, Shi Qinghuan walked over, the treasure was not marked, but the box was there.
Beneath the jewels, in the corner of the chest, there was a dark pattern.
In a dimly lit environment, ordinary people can't find it at all.
I took the fire fold and leaned over, only then did I see that it was an eagle pattern, but it was not a normal eagle, the eagle was soaring, and the claws were five fingers.
"Five-clawed eagle?"
Shi Qinghuan looked at Baili Huan, "Do you have an impression?" ”
Baili Huan shook his head, "I haven't seen it, I have to investigate it carefully." ”
Shi Qinghuan has never seen it, but every box has it, and it has the meaning of its existence.
"What should we do with these treasures?"
Baili Huan thought for a while, "Most of them are ill-gotten gains, and ill-gotten gains are used to do something meaningful." ”
Shi Qinghuan also has this intention.
It takes money to build a new home, which is not only enough, but also makes the people's subsequent life more prosperous.
"The prefect is a good official, so I'll leave it to him."
"Okay, it's time for us to meet Sun Peng."
When the two of them got out of the firewood room, they called the prefect, and the prefect was really shocked when he saw so many treasures.
But as Baili Huan said, the prefect is a good official, and it was quickly arranged.
Shi Qinghuan was not idle, and went to the mayor when Baili Huan helped arrange the follow-up matters.
The medical records that had been written before were handed over, and the prescriptions of each of the people were recorded in detail, and after they left, as long as the people took the medicine according to the prescription, they would definitely not die early.
After explaining everything, Shi Qinghuan went back to the inn to pack his luggage, and when Baili Huan came back, his expression was a little weird.
Shi Qinghuan was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
Baili Huan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Shi Qinghuan, "Come out and have a look." ”
Shi Qinghuan looked confused, and when he walked out of the door, he was directly stunned.
Because in the night, the bonfire illuminates the figures of the people, densely packed, and they all stand outside the house.
"What's going on?"
Shi Qinghuan looked at Baili Truss, and without waiting for Baili Truss to answer, those people knelt down suddenly.
"Thank you for saving your life!"
The sound was loud and resounded in the night sky.
"They knew we were leaving, so they came to thank you."
As soon as Baili Huan explained, Shi Qinghuan reacted.
"Hurry up, everybody."
"The two benefactors, we were ignorant before, not only listened to the words of the thief, but also misunderstood the two benefactors, and asked the two benefactors to forgive."
"The two benefactors ignore the past suspicions, and think about us wholeheartedly, we have seen them all these days, and we are here to thank the two for their deep kindness."
"The benefactor is not an ordinary person, such a great kindness, we can not repay, learned that the two are about to leave, specially set up a dinner party in the town, it is considered to be a send-off for the two, every day and every night in the future, we will chant for the benefactor and chant the Buddha, I wish to bless the two of them with peace and smoothness."
“......”
The voices are sincere, and they are all grateful to Shi Qinghuan and Baili Huan.
Looking at the people who were diametrically opposed to before at this moment, Shi Qinghuan's heart was turbulent, and tears appeared in his eyes.
That's what they're insisting on.
No matter what happened before, because of their persistence, now, it is a new life for these many people.
The hand held by Baili Huan slowly tightened, and when he turned around, he saw Baili Huan's gentle smile.
In this cold wind, it was exceptionally warm.
"Alright, benefactor, come with us!"
The two women stepped forward, grabbed Shi Qinghuan and walked towards the town, and the men behind him also walked to Baili Truss's side, "There has never been such a time in the town, benefactor, tonight, you want to have a few more drinks." ”
The two of them were taken to a clearing in the middle of town.
At the place where the sacrifice was to be lived, a roaring bonfire was lit at this moment, and it was as bright as day.
Along the perimeter of the bonfire, there are tables and chairs, and there are even more drinks and food on them.
It seems that the prefect has also made a lot of efforts.
After being pulled over and sitting down, a couple came up with a girl to toast, which was the woman rescued by Shi Qinghuan before.
Thanks again for saving her life, Shi Qinghuan couldn't refuse, and after drinking, Baili Huan was pulled and sat beside her.
The town has been lonely and panicked all year round, but now it is finally untied the knot, and it is the first time that it is so relaxed, but it is really a carnival.
As the crowd sang in unison, one by one the people began to come to the bonfire, holding hands and dancing.
Laughter, carnival.
Looking at them like this, Shi Qinghuan was really happy.
The smile at the corner of her lips was very clear, and Baili Huan looked at her, her eyes were full of light and colorful.
"Sister, come and dance!"
A child grabbed Shi Qinghuan with one hand and ran towards the bonfire with her.
The moment he got up, Shi Qinghuan subconsciously stretched out his hand and directly grabbed Baili Huan's hand.
The moment he raised his eyes, Shi Qinghuan smiled and said, "Together!" ”
With such a look, his heart instantly softened, and he didn't have the slightest strength to refuse.
They were dragged together to the crowd, holding hands together, laughing and dancing in song.
The warmth intensified in the night, and the laughter climbed over the mountains, as if bidding farewell to everything that had been.
I don't know how long it took for Shi Qinghuan to come out of the crowd.
Sitting down on one side, before I knew it, there was fine sweat on my forehead.
Baili Huan followed and sat down and handed her a cup of hot tea.
"How? Tired, right? Japan has been working day and night these days, and now it has been pulled and danced for so long. ”
"No, I'm not tired at all, I'm happy."
Shi Qinghuan took a deep breath, it was an extreme relaxation.
Baili Huan naturally understood her feelings, and looked up at the starry sky that was covered by the fog with her.
"Soon, they will be able to download songs and dances in the stars and have a new life."
"Well, I really hope that the world is a pure land."
Although it certainly can't be realized.
Shi Qinghuan had mourning in his eyes, which was also the wish of everyone in the Protector's Mansion.
She also went to the border city to talk about this with her eldest brother.
There is no war in the world, which is the best explanation for the people, she could understand it before, but now, after this incident, it is a personal experience.
"What do you want to do when the dust falls?"
Baili Huan was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, what about you?" ”
"I want to go to every inch of land, especially places like this one, those places that are not seen, I want to see if it is okay."
It is her heart's wish, and it is also the last wish of everyone in the Protectorate's Mansion.
If she had the chance, she would only fully understand it now, but hopefully it would be too late.
Baili Huan's gaze fell on Shi Qinghuan's body, staring gently.
"Okay."
Not a compliment, but a response.
