Chapter 341: Rare Toys
"The rainstorm last night?" said that rain came without warning, it was too unreasonable.
"There is a lot of rain in the mountains, the sun is shining one moment, and the mountain rain is the next moment, it is a common thing. Yao Tianshi smiled, "Besides, as long as the humidity is heavy, the fire can often attract clouds and rain." ”
Zhang Xianling's voice was lowered: "According to what you say, there is no flower god at all?"
"I didn't say that. Yao Tianshi hurriedly said, "The matter of Xuanling is not as simple as it seems on the surface, just wait and see for a few days, where can you dare to assert it?"
Zhang Xian Ling glared at him dissatisfiedly, this Zhang Tianshi is said to be profound, but when people are old, they are also prone to slippery heads. What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?
The people of Hongmo Village, who were watching the excitement, stood in the small half of the slope valley, and Yan Saburo and the Sun family stood upstream. This location was chosen by Ah Mei, Jin Niangzi originally wanted to stay away from the water, but her daughter, who has always been well-behaved, kept making trouble this time, as soon as Ah Mei's voice was raised, there were many eyes around her, and Jin Niangzi was not as calm as Mrs. Wu, so she had to agree.
"You kid, why are you ignorant?" she couldn't bear to scold, Ah Mei narrowly escaped from the fire yesterday, maybe she was frightened and lost her temper. Her daughter is not as lawless as the Zhou family's boy!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help glaring at Zhou Xianyi, who was a few feet away, and saw that although he was standing obediently beside Mrs. Wu, his eyes were glancing around, and he looked very uneasy.
Jin Niangzi naturally didn't know that this location was secretly chosen by someone to pry Ah Mei, and there was only one principle: the closer to Zhou Xianyi, the better.
Zhou Dahu and other villages were standing in front, and the Zhou family came late, and the good positions on the beach were occupied, so they had to stand here and watch.
Every half hour, Master Yao would recite a prayer, and the Requiem Puja would proceed unhurriedly.
The people of Hongmo Village who were watching the ceremony were still a little interested at first, and after standing for half an hour, they didn't see anything abnormal, so they relaxed a little.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and everything was as usual by the stream, only the red smoke drifted towards the Jushitan Beach, but everyone was tired of seeing this scene.
Now everyone yawns and yawns, stretches and stretches, and finds a place to sit, and some elderly people with inconvenient legs or old eyes have been helped back by their families.
Zhou Xianyi stood beside the elders and was a good baby for an hour, and he was already impatient, only to feel that there were ants crawling around under his feet, and he could no longer stand still. There are so many fun things by the stream, why do adults have to stand stupidly?
It just so happened that Mrs. Wu was also tired from standing, so she asked her to help the bluestone on the shore to sit down and rest, and asked, "How long will this puja last?"
The man next to him replied, "It is said that there are three hours from beginning to end." ”
"Three hours! Then you can't wait until the moon rises?" There are still two more hours! Mrs. Wu gasped. It was getting dark, and the wind through the forest was getting cooler and colder, and the joints of her old arms and legs were stiff. Mrs. Wu has the heart to go back, but her son Zhou Dahu is also one of the village elders, and she turned around and walked away like this, which would be too embarrassing for her son.
Mrs. Wu sat for a while, her eyelids drooped downward, and Zhou Xianyi, who was constantly moving around her, saw this, quietly walked out, and went to the shallows to turn over stones and catch toads. The family knew that the water was shallow, so they could only skip the child's instep and not stop him.
The toads in this season are a little silly, Zhou Xianyi is fast, and he is bored when he catches a few of them.
He rubbed his eyes, and suddenly heard a splash of water not far away, and turned his head to look, but saw Ah Mei grabbing something and playing happily.
It was the size of an adult's fist, with eight legs, like a large spider, but it was so colorful and eye-catching that no one could ignore its presence, and its eight eyes could glow a faint red light.
Spiders are generally very light, and at most float on the surface of the water, relying on tension and glide silently. However, this one sank directly to the bottom, crawling fast in the shallow water, and the eight legs were stirred up and splashed.
It's chasing a small shrimp.
The shrimp in the stream, shorter in length than a sewing needle, alert and flexible, are not as stupid as a toad, and can hide at the slightest hint of wind and grass. Zhou Xianyi rarely caught these little clever spirits, and at this time, he could see it for a moment, and his eyes couldn't move.
There was another sound of water, and the spider caught the small shrimp that was jumping alive, and then crawled back to Ah Mei and put it in the small jar she was holding.
This spider can actually go back to its owner! Zhou Xianyi's eyes widened, and he saw that it was not a living thing, but an artificial creation, but the material did not know whether it was wood or metal, but the core tube in it could be seen when the eight legs were folded.
In other words, it's a great toy!
Yan Saburo just glanced at Zhou Xianyi, saw that his eyes were shining, and then followed his gaze to Ah Mei, and couldn't help frowning.
Don't you think it's a bargain for a dignified asura who doesn't have a single tooth to grow a little cub?
But when he asked Chitose about it, she was right, "I don't think so!" she said with a smile, "someone has to teach him how to be a man, or he will have to be a dead man." ”
Dead man? Yan Saburo looked sideways.
Chitose coughed lightly: "I'm just making an analogy." ”
......: "Actually, you just want to get revenge on him, right?"
Ah Mei's new baby attracted the attention of many children, and soon a group of friends surrounded her, waw wow screaming. The spider crawled farther and farther, and the children unconsciously followed it.
This includes Zhou Xianyi.
The child was only lost once yesterday, and Mrs. Jin's eyes did not leave her daughter's left and right, so she was a little worried. However, before she could call her daughter back, Yan Saburo had already walked to her side and said to her: "Sister Jin, the flowers and trees at home have been destroyed, is there a remedy in the village?"
The flower forest of Jin Niangzi's house was basically destroyed in the fire yesterday. This was originally the heart disease of the whole family, and as soon as Yan Saburo mentioned it, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Not yet." ”
She pouted towards Jushitan: "Don't wait for this important matter to be over, and the village will call us to discuss it again." ”
The residents of Hongmo Village went door to door, more or less contracted a few flower trees, and Jin Niangzi's family was particularly unlucky, two-thirds of the flowers and trees were burned to death, and their livelihood became a problem in the coming year.
Yan Saburo comforted her and said, "Don't worry, this is not your family's trouble, the village must work together to solve it." "At least 100 families were affected by the disaster, and their voices came together to make a sound that could not be ignored.
"I hope so. Jin Niangzi sighed, "But I only beat Zhou Xianyi last night, but I am afraid that the Zhou family will hold a grudge and deliberately detain us later." ”
