Sweet Garden Bliss

"On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the snow lights up the lanterns" is a folk song. It says that it often snows on the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

No matter how calm Ah Yuan was and how earnestly he prayed for the arrival of snowflakes, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year did not have such auspicious and festive backdrop.

The sky is full of haze, but there is no rain or snow, which makes people's throats blocked.

The temperature rose slightly, and the ice cubes in the creek ditches in the corners could not be preserved. They slowly seeped into the soil, and no clean water could be dug out.

Ordinary people who have given up bathing and washing clothes a long time ago can't give up drinking water, let alone sighing at the dried-up wheat seedlings every day?

It was of no avail day and night on Yuan County Magistrate's altar for praying for rain. The legend of twins struck again. His anger only needs to accumulate for a few days or even a few hours.

Carpenter Yang from Thirty Mile Village sent a disciple, Xingye, to report that the whole village might come out to protest against it the next day.

Li Zhuzi's elder brother also slammed on the gate of the courtyard, and the elders and fellow villagers of Li's Village also linked up with the surrounding villages, and the army of denunciations was coming tomorrow.

Would you call on your employees to fight with something?Dozens of people fighting against a dozen villages?The mantis' arm is like a car, and it is beyond its control!

"Sister-in-law, I'll see you off right away!" Bai Er's forehead was sweating, the temperature has really turned warm these days.

"Let's go? Where can I go?" Ah Yuan smiled, her apricot eyes gleamed brightly: "Don't say I can't move. Even if I'm on my way now, where can I escape to have twins?"

What else can I do?Is the family staying here waiting to die?

Tomorrow's battle will definitely not be small. If anyone tells these ignorant and uncivilized working people that dedicating their children to the Water Dragon King will ensure a good harvest, they may be able to reluctantly push the children into the river, let alone those who were executed. Just other people's women and children?

"These two children survived eight full moons anyway. Theoretically speaking, their limbs are sound. Their brains are fully developed and they can come to the world at any time. Thank you for protecting them for such a long time, thank you!" Ah Yuan stroked her belly. I have seen every guardian present: "Tomorrow, you just need to protect yourself. The second child will send all the money to the sister-in-law and the aunt. Clean up your belongings neatly. In case something really happens, everyone Let's go our separate ways ahead of time, and don't need to worry about our mother and son."

Cai Lian didn't cry this time, she stood by the kang and smiled: "That's right, second brother, put the sisters-in-law in order first. It's enough for us to accompany the sister-in-law and nephews and nieces."

Bai Laoer really took the silver taels and distributed them to the three kind-hearted people who had helped them for so long.Difficulty is imminent, and it is really time to break up.

"But what if Madam is going to give birth?" Sister-in-law Wei was still worried with tears streaming down her face. It was true that she wanted to escape, but after all, she had spent a long time with Aunt and Sister-in-law A Yuan, and their relationship was quite deep.

"Don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Believe me, Ah Yuan is not the kind of person who suffers from misfortune. Not only are we not monsters and ghosts, but we are also the best at turning bad luck into good fortune. Don't worry!" Ah Yuan waved calmly: "If sister-in-law is worried, just hide from the limelight for a while, and when the trouble is over, you can come back and help me give birth!"

Wei's sister-in-law ran out of the house in tears, and when the trouble was over, how could the wife of the host family survive?The twins are already in great danger, if they are disturbed and moved again, I am afraid that when they come back, they will have already died!

The two doctors, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wei, were sent away overnight by hired laborers at the brick kiln. The second Bai also called up the three of Aying and told them to keep their livestock together and keep them away from the Bai family's yard, and they had to evacuate at dawn. , this time the matter is big, your own safety is the most important thing, so don't risk your life to protect the boss.

Master Jia's house is also brightly lit, and Bai Er's notice also means that there is no need to pay attention to the private affairs of the Bai family: "In case my sister-in-law can't be kind this time, please master Jia to arrange the brick kiln and leave it all to Mrs. Lu Li Wei."

Bai Er Er returned home exhausted after arranging all the conceivable matters. He and Cai Lian had discussed it long ago. The elder brother was not at home. The brother and sister would risk their lives to protect the safety of the sister-in-law. At least, they would not leave her alone escape.

Bai Laosan's behavior of betraying his relatives was despised by them, so he would never do that despised behavior!

Cailian snuggled up to her sister-in-law and fell asleep. Even though the situation was so bad, this teenage girl still felt at ease, as if she was guarding her mother and listening to her heartbeat.

The lights in the house were kept on all night, and Bai Er went back to his room to take a nap. Since he had decided to wait for the storm, he should cultivate his spirit first, and it would be much easier to face it.

What woke them up from their nap?Have the bells of disaster already sounded?

The confused villagers have seen what is called a "parade" and what is called a "demonstration". Villagers from all over the village are gathering like a flood on the red brick road less than a mile outside the village. The leaders include Those Li Zheng who once held competitions on the big stage to help young people go on blind dates.

You can't imagine how there are so many people gathered here, and there are calls for friends and friends everywhere. The villagers in their respective villages can quickly identify their own team. As time goes by, the team grows stronger .

This thing is a bit like a group fight!

The confused villagers had already panicked. Uncle Li rang the bell of the ancestral hall and called all the residents of the village together to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies.

It is not uncommon for farmers to fight among themselves, but they also like the whole village to fight against foreign enemies together. At this time, they no longer care about personal grievances, and they must not be soft when dealing with enemies who hit their doorsteps!

Except for the Brick Kiln Factory and the Bai Family Yard which were far away from the village, all the characters who could get up also appeared on the stage, holding various weapons in their hands and shouting in their mouths.

"Damn it, how dare we unite a few villages to come to us for trouble? Is it because our village is rich and jealous? Don't worry, Mr. Lizheng, we don't give birth to cowards. Who will make things difficult for us? , let go of the door, shut it up and beat the dogs, how many years have you been in a daze and haven't shown your strength, have they forgotten how powerful we are?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let them in, and beat them hard when they are scattered! Tell them to cry and call their mothers in the confusion, and see who dares to try?"

A few elders in the village began to deploy soldiers, their beards were trembling with excitement, they hadn't encountered foreign enemies for many years, don't lose the confused formation, and there is no one to teach the younger generation I am willing to listen, now I have a chance, show it, there will be people who are interested in learning it.

"First set up a four-door pocket formation. Lao Wangtou went to the entrance of the village, and took the people at the entrance of the village to let people in. He took a good look at the location and hid. Old Li headed to the east of the village. Under Li Tou's command, the second old Li went to the west, from Xitou to Er Manzi's house, all followed the second old Li, and the big old Li went to the north, and the rest of the households were all under the command of the big old Li. This formation can't be defended, listen to my bell, and change to the eight-door golden lock formation, remember?"

A majestic old man stood at the highest point and gave orders, and the workers working in the brick kiln rushed back.

"Our boss told us that we don't need to protect her, we just follow the arrangement of the village!" A Dong and Xiao Wu clenched their fists tightly, their voices were loud but filled with sadness.

The old man straightened his chest: "The hostess is reasonable and knows that our village should be the most important thing, good!"

At this time, shouldn't he take the initiative to tie up the troublemaker Ah Yuan and hand him over to settle the matter?Shouldn't you blame the Bai family for causing trouble to everyone?

This is how absurd things happened. For peasants, I can bully people in my own village, but not people from other villages. If people from other villages partner up to bully them in their own village, that's even more impossible!This matter does not need to be reasonable at all, as long as you dare to come in groups to find something about a certain person in a certain village, it will turn into a big event that slaps the face of the whole village. Copy the guy and call him back!

How many years has the fuzzy formation kept, why?Isn't it because of the aggressive genes left from the ancestors?It was only then that such a strange place was arranged so that it was impossible to find a direction when wandering around.

If you don't believe it, just look at these old men who are in their dying years and you will understand. Just now, they barely got up from the kang and leaned on a walking stick. I am no longer deaf, and I don’t need help when I walk. Going into gang fights is more effective than taking medicine and getting needles!

The most majestic old man gave Li Lizheng an order: "Lizheng took Erlang from the brick kiln factory to light fires and smoke on the dragon eyes at various intersections. Be careful not to light our own firewood!"

But it turned out that at every intersection and corner in the confused formation, burners were set up in hidden places, and a section of firewood accumulated over the years was buried deeply. The formation method is called "fire dragon eye". Lingering for a long time.

The ancestral hall of the Misty Formation is the center of the formation. Four or five people can walk on the high wall of the ancestral hall. The big bell that tells the order is located at one end of the high wall.

The efficiency of the whole village's action is very high. In a blink of an eye, billowing thick smoke rises from the sky above the confusion formation, and quickly fills every corner. Suddenly, there are no people, houses or streets in the village. In the distance, people from other villages can only see a giant phalanx shrouded in smoke.

No matter how many people you come, don’t even think about going out when you touch it. The firewood that has accumulated for many years in the eyes of the fire dragon will only smoke but not catch fire. Except for the villagers, they can walk around with their eyes closed while covering a wet cloth. Outsiders ,you try? (To be continued.
