Wei Shu

Chapter 153 Strange Things
The wind is high in the moon, the waves are rough, the weather is really not good, Gilles has been carrying half his heart since dawn, fearing that the wind and waves will be too strong tonight, the boat will be unfavorable, and the time to deliver the "goods" will be missed.

Fortunately, the rain stopped early at this time, and although there were occasional storms and waves on the Cang River, the river lanterns floated smoothly, presumably the business at night would go smoothly.

However, Jill's heart was not at peace for a day without the money in her pocket. Now thinking about what happened on the road just now, she became irritable again.

It turned out that just a moment ago, as soon as the chariots and horses of Zuo Shuai's mansion turned to the road along the river, they ran into a wandering priest who did not know who was doing things.

The so-called Wandering Sacrifice is a unique blessing ceremony of the Jin people. It is performed by witches and witches carrying sacrifices, holding statues of gods, burning butter candles, and parading around a specific place to pray. It is mainly used to summon souls. Or send God.

Gilles never expected that on such a big day tonight, someone would... no, someone would dare to compete with Zuo Shuai's mansion for the limelight.Those witches sang and danced at the street entrance. It was very lively, attracting many people to gather around and watch, and almost blocked the road. If it wasn't for the iron cavalry guards of the commander-in-chief's mansion to scare away the crowd, Gilles would have to was stopped there.

She originally attached great importance to Huazhen's ceremony tonight, which after all was related to her most important money. Now that she encountered obstacles in the middle of the journey, she immediately became angry, and she didn't attack immediately because she couldn't miss the auspicious time. Now That anger has not subsided yet.

He Zhuosu knew her temperament, so she ordered someone to inquire about it, and seeing that Gilles really asked about it at this time, she smiled and said: "Return to the master, I heard that Zak Shan's family is doing things there."

Hearing this, Jill raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes a little: "Zakeshan? Is that the head family whose daughter was sold off to death? Something happened to his family again?"

"My master has a really good memory. It's him, and something strange happened in his family." He Zhuo flattered Gilles, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Their family is probably going through some bad luck these days. His daughter died for no apparent reason a while ago. Zha Keshan made a big fuss, but he didn't end up in the end. He himself was promoted to the head man.

Now it was Zha Keshan's turn, saying that he had slept soundly at home the night before, and when he woke up the next morning, he was shocked, and found that this man had disappeared from the ground, and a few servants were also there. They disappeared, and rumors about their family have been circulating in the city these days. "

"Hey, this sounds a little scary." The anger on Gilles's face has dissipated, showing a bit of fear.

She had also heard about Zakshan. First, his daughter was wronged as a slave, raped and sold, and died tragically in a leader's home.Now he himself has followed in the footsteps of his daughter, and his life and death are uncertain.

For a moment, Gilles thought of those weird stories on the grassland, and couldn't help but feel chills in her back, and her hands and feet were also a little cold. She hurriedly took a sip of the milk tea, and she felt better when the warmth entered her stomach.

He Zhuoqing knew that she would be afraid, so he slowly said the consoling words that he had thought up earlier: "This Zha Keshan deserves it, and his intentions are not sincere. His daughter died, and he didn't say that he would blame the one who abducted his daughter. Mu Naheitai, a pariah, smashed all the statues of mountain gods enshrined at home, and now it is the mountain god who punished him.

The slaves heard people say that when the shaman master invited the gods to his house, the whole altar newly built in his house was on fire, and the shaman master said that it was the mountain god who was angry, and only water could extinguish the mountain god. Angry, they asked their family to perform a ritual ceremony in a place with water. "

She leaned forward again, and said in a whisper: "It is rumored that Zakshan's soul was probably taken away by the mountain god, but now the body has not been found. His sons are busy trying to win the birth, so they don't care about it." These messy things.

The servant girl heard the rumor from the leader that the ceremonies just now were very ostentatious, only four tallow candles were lit, and it would not last long at all.On the scene, only Zakshan's woman was crying and crying, without even a child to hold a candle. "

He Zhuo shook his head "tsk tsk" a few times, and said: "If you offend the mountain god, there will be no good fruit."

Gilles nodded, he understood the cause and effect, and also knew that it was because of dishonesty, and it was not a ghost, so he felt a little relieved, so he held the teacup in his palm and walked out quietly. After a while, God said:

"Forget it, I don't care about them, let's let this matter go. Besides, this family has provoked the fire of the mountain god, you tell the people below to stay away, so that they don't get bad luck."

He Zhuozheng was eager for something less to happen, and hurriedly said: "Master's words are correct. Master is really kind-hearted, so let's take pity on their family."

While speaking, the driver had already arrived at Tongji Wharf, and Gilles helped the little girl's hand to get out of the carriage. When she raised her eyes, she saw a three-story boat moored on the water. The boat is full of bright yellow lanterns, it is as bright as day, and the boat is decorated like a fairy boat in the sky. The people on the riverside all look up and look in amazement.

Looking at the high altar on the deck of the building, two rows of tallow candles are burning red, and there are more than a dozen witches and eight priests under the altar, all dressed in gorgeous robes. There were twenty boys and girls standing below, also wearing colorful clothes, and each of them was holding a polished magic weapon in their small hands, which shone brightly under the candlelight.

Seeing this situation, no matter how much Gilles loves money, she still feels that this ostentation is enough, no matter how picky Mang Tai is, he can't find her fault at all.

"Master, this scene is really beautiful, even if it is not much worse than the big festival in Beijing." He Zhuo who was beside him said in a low voice, his tone was full of compliments.

Jill felt slightly satisfied, the corners of his lips curled up, and when he turned his eyes, he looked at the other three large ships moored in the distance.

The three boats also set up altars and altars, but the lights were not as bright as those in the building boats, and there were not as many people praying as in the building boats, so they were not so eye-catching.

However, Gilles looked at the three ships with far more eagerness than when he looked at the taller ships.

Most of her "goods" were concentrated on those few boats, and the cargo in the big boats was only those human animals that the Shuai Mansion originally had.

Seeing that everything was well arranged, He Zhuo quickly brought the bill of lading that he just got. Gilles glanced at it, and seeing that the amount and money were all in line, she was already full of wrinkles with a smile. He saw the candlelight in front of him as white and silver light, and his heart became more confident.

After tonight is over, everything she wants and wants, and remembers, will be at her fingertips. How can you teach her not to be elated?

　Sorry dears, there is always only one update, somehow the coding is very slow, it takes two to three hours to write a thousand words, and I can’t concentrate when I’m old, I’m sorry……………
