Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 212
Xu Ying went back and forth, picked out a silver lock he was satisfied with, asked Shi An, and after receiving Shi An's affirmation, he said:
"Then I'll buy it. Shopkeeper, get me a box to put it in." Xu Ying took out two taels of silver while talking.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes with a smile, took a small wooden box, wrapped the silver lock with a cloth, put it in the box, and handed it to Xu Ying.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this lock?" On the other end, Congtou also pointed to a small golden lock and asked.

The shopkeeper trotted over in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Guest has good eyesight, this is made by the well-known Master Yang in Yinzhou City. It was originally sold for six taels of silver. Today, the Guan Wang will only charge you five taels of silver."

Onion honestly took out five taels of silver.The shopkeeper was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, he wrapped the golden lock, still put it in the box, and handed it to Onion.

The three of them left the lock shop together.

Xu Ying couldn't bear it, and asked Shi'an back: "Why don't you ask me why you bought this safety lock?"

Shi'an smiled helplessly, "You always have your own reasons for buying, why should I be curious about it."

Xu Ying shook his head and smiled lightly, and put the box in Shi'an's hands, "Give it to your third sister for me, and say 'thank you' to her for me. I know you are capable, so it's worth such a safe lock to keep you safe." .

But this is my wish, two taels of silver, don't be disgusted. "

After thinking about it for a while, Shi An came to understand, and put the box away, "It seems that you have comprehended those three sentences of my little sister."

Xu Ying looked up at the sky, and then smiled again: "The setting sun, the west wind, and the autumn colors are strong. If you don't know it, you will feel sad when you get angry. I thought about it all night before I suddenly realized that it was an anagram.

The setting sun, the westerly wind, and the autumn colors are strong, which is the word for "white"; the word for "he" is the word for "he" when the heart is angry.When these two characters are combined with 'less knowledge', it becomes the word 'Mu'. "

Shi'an glanced at him, turned his head to look for Qingyu and Hongtao in the crowd, and when he saw the figures of the two, he turned his head and asked slowly, "Have you thought it through?"

Xu Ying let out a long breath, and said resolutely, "Yes, I've thought about it for a few nights, and I've figured it out."

"Then when do you leave?"

"Leaving tomorrow. The last Guan Wang meeting in Yinzhou, we have to finish it anyway." Xu Ying laughed.

After a pause, I apologized again, "I plan to go alone, after all, I don't know the people there, and I don't know what will happen to me.

And the journey is so far away, I really don't want my mother to suffer this pain with me."

Shi'an nodded slowly: "I understand. You can rest assured that we will take care of your mother and nothing will happen to her. You can rest assured."

Xu Ying clasped Pan Shi'an's shoulder vigorously, smiling gratefully, "I knew you, kid. Your family has treated me with great kindness, and I will never forget it. In the future, no matter what kind of person I become, you all Is my dearest friend."

"Hurry up." Hongtao urged Qingyu impatiently after waiting for a long time but Shi'an and others came over.

Several people quickly walked a few steps and followed.

The sun gradually set in the west, and finally sank, and the entire Yinzhou began to be lit with thousands of lights.

All households are lit up with lights of various colors. If you stand on a high place and look around, the whole Yinzhou seems to be covered with a layer of colorful gem gauze, shining brightly and magnificently.

At the gate of the inner city, a tall altar had already been set up at that time, and a circle of torches was lit around the altar, illuminating the night brightly.Zhou Mu Cao Shen, dressed in official uniform, and all the officials of Yinzhou, were standing on the sacrificial altar to pray for rain from King Guan.

Under the sacrificial stage, a group of dancers wearing ghost masks are dancing sacrificially to the drum music, and the sound of drum music and singing is shaking the sky.On the two-foot-wide main street, thousands of yamen servants held killing power sticks to block the road on both sides, and in the middle, a red carpet was spread that continued to the gate of the outer city.

After all, the main street has limited space, and only those who came here first to occupy a seat are lucky enough to have a close-up view, and nine out of ten people in the entire city actually climbed to the high points around the main street, such as the roof.Of course, there are many people who take the ladder.

However, in the current bustle, the common people's focus is not on the sacrificial ceremonies that are the same every year, but they are looking at the gate of the inner city.

There, the team to invite King Guan was already waiting, and the reason why they were more curious than in previous years was that there was an extra person in the team to invite King Guan this year.

"Have you heard that this year, King Guan has one more family, what is it called Shange?"

"You are from the outer circle, you don't even know about Shange."

"Which big family is this mountain pavilion? I've never heard of it."

"I haven't heard of it. I only know that there is an extra household this year. It's a strange thing I haven't seen in many years. I came here at noon to take a seat, and I just wanted to see it clearly."

"If I didn't live close by, I wouldn't bother to come and see it. It's boring to see those tricks every year. This mountain pavilion can't even be considered a small wealthy household. I don't know what kind of back door I have gone through. Don't look forward to it, so you won't be late. Disappointed."

"I heard that many children from rich families are disciples of the mountain pavilion. What is the purpose of the mountain pavilion?"

"It's just a place where martial arts are taught. They have come up with a new trick. Those young masters have a lot of money, so they probably don't want to stay at home, so they found an excuse to come out and keep the door closed all day. Who knows what they're doing shamelessly inside."

"I don't know what the He family will fight with the Si family this year. I heard that the He family spent more than 5000 taels of silver this year."

Among the crowd, there were heated discussions about this year's King Guan.

And on the observation deck on the side of the city gate, it was not peaceful.

Inside the viewing platform, the Si family and the He family each occupy one side.The other big households also sat in their seats, discussing with each other in low voices.

Si Denghan took a sip of tea, with a half-smile, "Boss He's face is full of red, this is a sign of Guan Wang's entry."

He Wanming snorted, "Boss Si is always good at predicting things, it seems that the King of Guan has indeed entered the gate of my He family."

Si Denghan was curious again: "The mountain pavilion, I wonder if the boss has heard of it? I am a little curious about them."

He Wanming laughed contemptuously: "I've always been too lazy to pay attention to those who are not on the stage."

Si Denghan snorted unhappily, but he had heard from his grandson that this year, there might be a possibility of fighting for the king of the mountain pavilion.Old guy, it's best for God to take care of you, otherwise, it depends on where your He family's face will be.

The old lady He cared about her grandson, and said solemnly: "Shen'er is a disciple of Shange. This year, none of you are allowed to leave first. You must let me see the end."

He Wanming frowned, but didn't speak.If he didn't speak, the other children and grandchildren naturally didn't dare to speak.

On the other side, Si Denghan also spoke to his family members, but they also couldn't leave first.

Both families have spoken, and the other big households can only suppress their desire to take a quick look before slipping away.

On the altar, the sacrificial ceremony has been completed.Cao Shen led all the officials down the sacrificial altar, stepped up to the gate tower of the inner city, and then dragged his voice and shouted "Please-Guan-Wang-".

The drum music that had been prepared downstairs began to play, and the ghost masks dancing the sacrificial dance also turned around and walked onto the red carpet while dancing.

All the common people stretched their necks and looked at the city gate.There, the tall middle door opened slowly, and countless lights could be vaguely seen.

"Come out, come out." The people onlookers shouted excitedly.

As the door opened, a two-foot-tall golden body sat on a golden lotus pedestal, and was carried by eight strong men also dressed in golden thread clothes, and walked out slowly.

The gold is tall and tall, and the carvings are lifelike. Under the illumination of the fire, the golden light is shining, and it looks like King Guan descending from a distance.The lotus seat is no different from a real lotus, and even the fine lines on the lotus leaves are clearly visible.

As expected of this year's established Guan Wang, although the golden statue is not a novelty, it is made of pure gold. It is not only 5000 taels, but tens of thousands of taels. Most people will not earn so much in their lifetime.

The crowd, not surprisingly, exclaimed.Especially when the golden body walks in front of you, the oppressive feeling of the tall body makes people tremble even more. Some people even think that if they can break off a piece, they will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.

Seeing the vulgar golden body, Si Denghan made no secret of his ridicule: "Boss He is really rich and powerful."

He Wanming didn't care, and was even quite proud, "Only this golden body can accommodate King Guan."

Si Denghan secretly scolded the businessman for not being able to get on the stage, and looked behind the golden body.

The people downstairs continued to exclaim one after another, and then started another one.Behind the golden body of the He family, a nine-story glazed pagoda with the same height of two feet came out from the gate of the inner city.

The glazed pagoda is inlaid with gemstones of various colors, and the top of the pagoda is a night pearl as big as a bowl, and 32 white jade bells are hung on the eaves of the pagoda.Every step you take makes a crisp and pleasant sound like a spring.

The huge pagoda shines brightly under the night sky, its blue, green, and red colors make everyone dazzled.
