Chapter 23 Changes in the City (please collect, vote, follow up~~)

July 22 of the lunar calendar is the God of Wealth Festival.

On a rare occasion, Song Mu did not endorse in the courtyard early in the morning, but packed up with Zhu Shi and Yaya Song Mingwei, and headed straight to Chenghuangmiao Street in the west of the city early.

Today is the God of Wealth Festival, and Song Mu doesn't quite understand the traditions here, why he didn't worship the gods at home, but went to the Town God's Temple early in the morning.

The customs of this world have changed a bit strangely. Even in the era when literati could become saints, the common people still believed in Buddhism and worshiped the Tao. This is a custom that has been handed down before the stars have set, and has been passed down by the common people.

But when Song Mu arrived at Chenghuangmiao Street, he saw that there were crowds of people, small vendors everywhere, chicken, duck, fish, juggling and singing.Listening to all kinds of hawking and soliciting voices, Song Mu understood why the God of Wealth Festival had to go to the temple fair.

This Town God's Temple Street is a rare hypermarket in ancient times. No matter who set up a stall by the road, they can do business. How can this not be the God of Wealth Festival?

It was only early in the morning when Mrs. Zhu brought Song Mu, but the Town God's Temple Street was already full of people, and Mrs. Zhu dragged Yaya, and then greeted Song Mu to go to the Town God's Temple.

Mrs. Zhu came to fulfill his wish today. After Song Mu was sent back in a coma last month, Mrs. Zhu ran to the Town God’s Temple alone to pray for Song Mu. Blessed credit.

Zi did not talk strangely, while Song Mu simply came to join in the fun and relieve the boredom of these days.

Now that he has been in this world for a month, Song Mu can be regarded as integrated into this society, and now with the blessing of ancient books, he cultivates his literary spirit and hones his thoughts every day. Although he has not yet condensed his writing and thoughts, he is still getting better The more I feel my body is more energetic and stronger.

Song Mu even had a premonition that as long as he could write a good enough article during the college examination, he might be able to break through the shackles of childhood and enter the realm of a scholar.

But now my own scriptures are still a bit off-putting. The feedback I have sent to Sun Xiucai and Master Xun these days is not very good.

There are three exams in the college examination: Confucianism, Poetry and Fu, and Policy Theory. Now Song Mu Jingyi and Policy Theory still need to be polished.

Both Sun Xiucai and Xun Fuzi said that their classics and theories are detailed, but their intentions are somewhat inaccurate, and they also have their own policies and theories, which are somewhat incoherent and sometimes unconstrained.

Song Mu naturally knew that it wasn't unseemly, it was because his thinking was too advanced, but Song Mu could only correct this problem slowly.

Fortunately, there is still some time for the college examination, and everything should still be in time.

Thinking like this, Song Mu and Mrs. Zhu have come to the Town God's Temple. There are also huge crowds of people here, and countless people are also vying to come here to burn incense.

You have to get up early to burn incense. Although you can't compete for the first pillar of incense, there is still a lot of enthusiasm from everyone.

Song Mu also followed Zhu Shi to squeeze in. Zhu Shi saw the crowded crowd, and now she was a little more realistic, letting Song Mu look at Yaya, while he used his huge body to move forward quickly.

Song Mu was intimidated by the sight, and immediately stopped, seeing that Yaya was holding on to the corner of her clothes desperately, and she was a little panicked in the crowd.

"Let's go Yaya, let's eat meat buns." Song Mu grabbed Yaya and said with a smile.

"Brother, but mother asked us to wait." Yaya seemed a little embarrassed and hesitant when she heard that. The little girl was often disciplined by Zhu Shi on weekdays, so she was a little timid.

Song Mu smiled, and immediately dragged her to a bun shop next to her.

"The second aunt saw us when she came out, sit down quickly, didn't you say you want to eat steamed stuffed buns a long time ago?"

Song Mu smiled and pulled Yaya to sit down in a seat on the stall, then waved to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, here are four meat buns, and two bowls of rice soup."

Yaya sat on the stool and kept looking around, but in the end she was attracted by the smell of the meat buns. She squinted her eyes and swayed her legs to eat the buns.

Song Mu picked up a steamed bun with a smile, but at this moment there were whispers of conversation from the table next to him.

"Boss, we can't do this business anymore. These days, Shiyang County officials are watching closely, and there are officials asking questions everywhere."

"It's also strange. Why is this small place in Shiyang County so tense all of a sudden? When we entered the city yesterday, the soldier had to do a blood test."

"I heard that there were demons in the city before, and now there is martial law everywhere, and they are all checking people outside."

The three men in rough clothes were talking in a low voice, their waists were bulging, and there were several burdens beside them. They were drinking rice porridge and chewing steamed buns while talking.

And the most well-dressed rough man frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Let's just finish this trip. I heard that Shiyang County is the one where interrogation is tight. If we leave Shiyang County, we don't have to worry so much."

Several people nodded and stopped talking, while Song Mu shrugged his nose, smelling something else.

These people should not be bad people, but judging from their appearance, the things they transported probably came from unknown sources.

Song Mu kept an eye on the moment, but he was a little surprised. Shiyang County is now on the official road, and the gate of the city is checking the people coming and going?
This is what happened last time?
Song Mu thought of what happened in the dungeon that day, and felt a little uneasy. The scene when Lu was in the devil is still vivid in his mind.

What did Ouyang Hong and Jin Changwu talk about when he was absorbing his literary spirit that day?

Maybe they really searched something from Nalu Jue's mind to make this move.

Does this mean that something big is really going to happen in Shiyang County?

This idea suddenly popped up in Song Mu's mind, and even he felt a little unbelievable.

"Brother, you can eat too."

At this time, the Yaya next to her saw that Song Mu was holding the steamed stuffed bun, so she also spoke immediately.

Being able to eat a meal of meat buns is already the happiest thing for Yaya. The family is not well-off now, even if there is some oil and water, but the days of eating meat buns like this are still too few.

Song Mu came back to his senses, nodded with a smile, and the three men beside him had already finished their food, so they paid the money and left with their burdens.

They seemed to be going out through the west city gate.

Song Mu just glanced at it slightly, didn't speak, but called Yaya to eat the steamed stuffed bun.

After a while, Mrs. Zhu also came out of the Town God's Temple. She was worried that Song Mu and Yaya had disappeared, but immediately saw two people eating at a stall not far away, so she hurried over.

"Brother Mu, why did you bring Yaya here? I didn't see you inside, so I thought you were squeezed out."

"Auntie, the two of us couldn't squeeze in, so we came out. Auntie, sit down quickly and have something to eat." Song Mu said with a smile.

Yaya even passed a steamed stuffed bun in her hand, her small eyes narrowed into slits: "Mother, eat meat buns, meat buns are delicious."

Mrs. Zhu grinned, looking at the meat buns with some pain, but she didn't show it in front of Song Mu. She just took the buns and didn't eat them, but took money out of her pocket.

"I paid first, and after eating, let's go to the temple fair and buy some things."

When Mrs. Zhu said this, Song Mu quickly waved his hands: "Don't worry, Auntie, I already gave it to you just now."

Although the Song family is poor, after all, Song Mu has to go to the county school to attend classes every day, so there is always something to spend money on. These days, the second uncle earns more from his errands, and gives Song Mu more. Mu basically saved up.

Hearing that Song Mu had paid, Zhu's face was stunned, and he didn't speak. He just put the buns into the basket and watched Song Mu and Yaya finish eating.

Song Mu knew that his aunt was reluctant to leave it to his second uncle, so he didn't say much.

After eating the buns, the three of them came out of the stall and were about to go to the street to buy some household items, but at this moment, there was a sudden scream in the busy city.

Song Mu looked up, only to see a man covered in flames running out of a stall in a hurry, and the people next to him hurried up to save him.

The tense Song Mu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was just a small accident.

But before everyone came back to their senses, there was an even more miserable scream from among the beating crowd.

Then the surrounding crowd spread out in all directions like crazy.

Zhu's eyes were sharp and he quickly grabbed Yaya, beckoning Song Mu to go to the entrance of the alley on one side, but Song Mu turned his head to look, but suddenly his eyes widened.

Among the crowd, a person covered in flames was lying on top of another person, opening his mouth and biting the other person's throat.

The screams were coming from the mouth of the bitten man, he was struggling desperately, but the actions of the man covered in flames were even more ferocious.

A group of sergeants had already rushed over, but there were suddenly several screams from the surrounding crowd.

Song Mu looked quickly, and saw a man on the other side beating an old man beside him crazily, and kept roaring.

magic!
Someone in this city has become possessed again!
Song Mu was shocked, and immediately turned his head to Zhu Shi who was beside him and said, "Auntie, take Yaya back quickly, go!"

When Song Mu said this, Mrs. Zhu quickly picked up Yaya and looked at Song Mu again: "Brother Mu, let's go together!"

Song Mu turned his head and glanced at the guy beside him who no one dared to approach, and then looked at the old man under him who was almost dead.

The soldiers who rushed into the crowd were still some distance away from him, and the literati guarding the city had not yet appeared here. Song Mu gritted his teeth and took out a pen and paper from his book bag.

"I'll come right away, aunt, you go first!"

As Song Mu said this, he leaned against the wall and began to write Qingming poems on the paper.

"Your body is a Bodhi tree...don't let it stir up dust."
