Chapter 208: Earthquake
Yuhan found that among the people who were trafficked, there was a thin figure, it was Wang Ying'er, wasn't this Ying'er obviously arrested by the county government's messengers and locked in a prison, why did she appear here?
Yuhan turned his head and whispered to Ziyu: "Sir, that Ying'er girl is also here, what should I do?"
Ziyu was also stunned, he followed Yuhan's gaze, and saw that among the dozen or so people who were trafficked on the stage, there was a weak and delicate little girl, whose face and body were full of dirt, but her eyes were as smart as water! He had never seen Wang Ying'er, but he heard that she was able to deceive the female trafficker at a young age, and he still had a good impression of her: "Since it is for sale, we will buy her first." ”
"Hmm!"
The wooden sign hanging on Ying'er's body reads two hundred and sixty taels, and the price is still very high.
At this time, a very obese master seemed to have taken a fancy to Wang Yinger, and had been wandering around her, and kept talking about something with those oily noodles waiters, probably bargaining.
"You wait below, I'll go buy her, and she can't be left into the hands of others. After Ziyu finished speaking, he lifted the robe with one hand and walked up quickly.
He came close and pointed at Ying'er and said to the waiter, "I bought this little girl." ”
The waiter nodded hurriedly and smiled, "Okay, good." He took off a wooden sign from his waist and handed it over. Ziyu reached out to pick it up, but was blocked by a fat hand.
A high-pitched, high-pitched voice came: "There is always a first-come-first-served purchase!" This girl is my first fancy, how can you say that you want to buy it?"
"Yo, this uncle, don't you still have to think about it? People just took it away without bargaining, of course I agreed to him?" explained the waiter with a busy smile.
The fat man stomped his foot: "I won't bargain anymore, I want this price, okay." ”
The waiter was a little embarrassed, and it was difficult to deal with it.
Ziyu opened his mouth and said, "I'll give you two hundred and eighty taels." ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zi Yu carefully: "Yo! This uncle, are you going to raise the bar with me?"
Ziyu said: "No one wants to raise the bar with you, but I want this little girl." ”
"I want it too, I'll take a fancy to it first. The fat man also said, "I will also give two hundred and eighty taels." ”
"Three hundred taels. ”
“...?”
At this time, many people have already gathered around to watch the excitement.
Roger looked over and over again, but didn't come over in the end, just a bargain and not a riot.
The fat man blushed: "Three hundred taels is three hundred taels!"
"Three hundred and fifty taels. ”
“......”
Everyone was in an uproar, and the fat man glared at Ziyu fiercely, no longer competing with him, and disappeared in the crowd.
After paying the money and completing all the formalities, Ying'er was taken away by Ziyu, the lively gathering finally dispersed, everyone withdrew from Yaofeng Gang, Yuhan and the three returned to the inn in the county, and when everyone washed their faces and came out, Wang Yinger found out that it was Yuhan, she was very surprised: "Sister, it's really you, I feel that you will definitely come to save me." ”
Yuhan nodded and hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Ziyu, and he is also helping you wholeheartedly." ”
Wang Ying'er hurriedly knelt down and thanked Ziyu: "Uncle saves his life, Ying'er will never forget." ”
Ziyu hurriedly helped her up: "You're welcome, people in the world are in charge of the injustices in the world, why are you there?"
Ying'er's face was full of sadness, tears flowed down, and she choked up and said: "I was arrested by the officials, and they put me in prison without interrogation, and no one interrogated, and two days ago, a few people suddenly took me away, and I was taken there, and I knew that they were going to sell me." ”
"Then you haven't seen your mother and Song Laotie?" Ziyu asked.
Wang Ying'er hesitated: "My mother, and that old man Song, haven't seen it, did they go to find me?"
"Yes, they entered the yamen, and the county magistrate Zhu Ran agreed to focus on your case and led them into the mansion. Ziyu's face changed greatly, "Miss Yuhan, this is not good, they shouldn't have an accident, right?"
Yuhan looked at Ying'er, closed her eyes and held her breath for a while, and then gently let out a long breath: "Things may change, but with Song Laotie here, it shouldn't be much worse." ”
"Woo woo!" Wang Ying'er cried, "My mother, is she also locked up, woo woo!"
"Don't worry, we'll get them out. ”
"Song Laotie is Lord Song, his small county order is not so bold, dare to touch him, don't he want to die!"
"What, Uncle is the new Lord Song?" Wang Ying'er looked at everyone in surprise, as if she didn't believe it.
Ziyu nodded, he turned to Yuhan and said, "Shall we go and save them?"
Yuhan shook his head, "It's not time yet, it's almost dawn, let's rest for a while!"
The three of them nodded one after another, and each went back to his room, and Yuhan sat on the bed and fell into deep thought...
The next day just after dawn, the fresh, sunny and energetic morning was gone, the sky was unusually gloomy, and the streets of the city were in a chaotic mess, and everywhere there was a cacophony of people: the sounds of terror and cries.
Yuhan was shocked, from last night to dawn, she didn't sleep, but seized the time to practice for a while, and her cultivation had a big breakthrough, at this time she was refreshed, and her heart was originally very happy, but she found that it was so unusual outside, so she was also suspicious, got up and walked to the window to watch it, suddenly, the earth was shaking, the house was shaking, she almost didn't stand firm, and two words "earthquake" suddenly appeared in her mind.
Fengpu County has many mountains, rugged terrain, intricate mountains, lakes and basins, frequent earthquakes, small-scale earthquakes occur in different counties and towns every year, and they do not cause any harm.
The earthquake seemed to be not small, everyone was clearly moving, the houses were shaking, the houses were not stable, and the people ran into the streets in panic, and they had no other way but to pray in their hearts: hope that the gods will bless, don't be angry, don't destroy their homes, don't take away the souls of their families.
Is there still a god or Buddha who can influence earthquakes? There is really a great god in Fengpu County, who is pinned on high hopes by the people, and is a sacred and inviolable god in their minds, who is in charge of the life and death of the people of the whole prefecture and county, who can save the suffering and save the suffering, and can swallow and destroy the entire prefecture and county, and is called the "Tiger Spirit Emperor God", who lives in the Lingling Mountain, 50 miles south of the county town of Fengpu.
Yuhan opened the window and heard many people flowing in one direction on the street, and kept shouting: "Emperor God Shenwei, bless us, the sky is clear, and the people are healthy......
Yuhan shook his head, there are superstitions everywhere, people often can't explain things themselves, they will pin their trust to the great gods to bless, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this, let the panicked mind calm down, and the world will be stable when people's hearts are calm.
She returned to the table and poured a cup of hot water, drank a few sips, and was thinking about what to do next, when someone knocked on the door, opened the door and saw that it was Ziyu and Wang Yinger.
They looked nervous, Yuhan of course understood, the ancients were very afraid of earthquakes, and the people on the Yuankun Continent naturally didn't know that this was just a natural phenomenon in the natural world, and it was normal for them to be frightened.
Ziyu said solemnly: "This earth is powerful, and the people are going to suffer. ”
Yuhan took over the topic disapprerovingly: "It's nothing, it's just a small earthquake, it should be around the third level, and it won't cause much harm." ”
"Earthquake?" both of them were stunned by Yuhan.
"It's nothing? This is the Tiger Spirit Emperor God is exerting his might, and the whole city will go to Nanzhi Mountain to worship, let the emperor god bless it, and there will be large-scale sacrificial activities? Whoever doesn't go will be unlucky. Wang Yinger said.
"Unlucky, what kind of bad luck?" asked Yuhan, puzzled.
Ziyu continued: "Miss Yuhan, you are not familiar with the terrain here, this is the area of the White Tiger Mountain Range, and your Qinglong Mountain Range is across the Honghe River, the boundary of the White Tiger Mountain Range is much smaller than the Qinglong Mountain Range, but the mountain is higher and steeper, so the area is not very peaceful, there are demonic beasts from time to time, and it is even more terrible that this "Tiger Spirit's Fury", which is what you call the "earthquake", the mountain god will shake the mountain when he is angry, and the people are killed and injured every year, the White Tiger Mountain Range has four states and counties and barren land, and the four counties are: Mengcheng County, Hupu County, Hualing County and Fengpu County, Fengpu City is located south of the White Tiger Mountain Range, close to the Xunqin area, so strange things are particularly frequent. There is a Kunlong Palace in the Qinglong Mountains, and there is also a famous Li family in the Baihu Mountains, in Mengcheng Prefecture, Mengcheng is located in the north of the Baihu Mountains, which is a very large basin, where the land is fertile, prosperous and prosperous, and it is the famous granary of the Taihan Kingdom. ”
Yuhan smiled: "Sir is really academic, and he knows the terrain so well. ”
Ziyu also smiled: "I am still relatively familiar with these two regions, I have been in the Qinglong Mountains for more than ten years, this is my hometown, and I am more familiar." ”
"Sir, have you been in Hengcheng County for more than ten years?" Yuhan suddenly asked.
Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The girl guessed so, have you seen me in Hengcheng?" But I have been away there for more than ten years, and I have never been there since, and you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can you see me, hahaha." ”
Yuhan smiled slyly and did not answer.
At this time, Ying'er couldn't help but say anxiously: "Two benefactors, let's go quickly! I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Let's go see the festival too!"
"Sacrifice, what's going on?"
"Tiger Spirit Sacrifice Conference. Ying'er said, "In the south of the city, the Nanzhishan Shrine Temple." ”
Yuhan nodded, took off the Rainbow Sword and said, "Okay, let's go, let's take a look." ”
The three of them also rushed out of the room, and after a while, they blended in with the flow of people.
