happy event

Chapter 138
Zi Zhu lay on the window and looked out, her face turned pale with fright, she was about to help her wife to escape with trembling hands.Unexpectedly, at this time, those borrowed coachmen lazily pulled out a few crossbows from under the carriage, and shot a wave of arrows, and the thieves immediately looked like Guoguo who was sleeping in the carriage.Some of them had a few arrow feathers inserted in their chests, some had their mouths pierced through, and even one of them had two eyeballs falling out. Although the situations were different, they all reported to the King of Hell without exception. went.

The convoy was dead silent for a while, and then there was the sound of vomiting. Zizhu lay on the car window and almost vomited bile, her hands and feet were limp, and she finally shrank back into the car with her head supported, but she saw Wenniang in shock. Calmly waiting for the master to rinse his mouth, I was really amazed and revered in my heart.

Dong Rong hadn't vomited for a long time after her three-month pregnancy, but even good people couldn't bear the bloody scene just now.She managed to suppress the churn in her stomach, and told Zizhu directly, "Only drink porridge at noon, nothing else."

Yun Rui and the others were currently digging pits and burying the corpses under the command of the coachmen. They didn't know whether it was excitement or fear, their bodies were shaking non-stop, and Guanshi Zhang couldn't stop laughing.

He directly called out to a short coachman who was standing beside him with a smirk from time to time, and blamed him, "Boss A, just killed a few thieves, why did the whole floor become bloody? Madam is pregnant with a little master. Anyway, I'm afraid it might be..."

As soon as A heard the words, his eyebrows trembled violently, and he quickly admitted his mistake, "I didn't think carefully this time, and I will never do it next time."

Seeing that the pit was filled, Guanshi waved to Yunrui and the others to return to the car quickly, but a few boys surrounded him to inquire about the origins of the "chariot masters". Of course, the key point is whether they can learn from their teachers. ability.

Manager Zhang said directly, "As long as you can let them nod to accept disciples, and don't delay serving the master."

Yun Rui and the others immediately went to pester the coachmen to ask for their apprenticeship, but the coachmen agreed very easily.Yun Rui immediately took the lead in cheering, only rejoicing that he found a famous teacher.Don't they know that in the days to come, they will spend countless times regretting...

On July day, the face of a child, crying and laughing, will change as it says.On this day, when I got up early, it was still sunny and sunny, but in the afternoon, a lot of dark clouds floated out of nowhere, and soon a thick layer gathered in the sky, and finally the bean-sized raindrops fell, making the birds panic Back to the nest, the beasts roared and looked for a place to hide.

Along the pipeline dug at the foot of the mountain, seven or eight farmers came from a distance, some old and some young.Everyone is dressed in tatters, wearing straw sandals, carrying a bag on the left shoulder and a luggage roll on the right shoulder. They are obviously poor people who have gone out to work and returned home.

Originally, it was a happy thing to go home after earning wages, but the sudden heavy rain made people drown, which was a bit disappointing.The old man took the lead and rushed to a ruined temple not far from the road, intending to take shelter from the wind and rain.

He didn't want to enter the temple, but found that someone had already taken the lead. Two tall and strong black men guarded a middle-aged man who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and already occupied a corner. The fire in front of them was burning vigorously.

The old man was a little afraid of the ferocious aura emanating from those two men, but it was not easy to find a shelter from the rain after leaving the ruined temple, so he might as well make do with it here.The young men had already put down their luggage and went to the half-collapsed apse to find some rotten wood. The old man thought for a while and walked to the corner, carefully tentatively talking about borrowing a fire.

Those two men's eyes were like knives, and they scratched the old man and the others countless times, and finally felt that there was no threat, so they bent down and picked up a burning stick for him.

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him with a smile, then turned around and went back to light the fire.The young men were a little curious, secretly looked at the three people from time to time, and only when they were slapped by the old man would they be honest.

The heavy rain hit the roof tiles like collapsing beans. Occasionally, the wind came in through the broken window paper, and everyone who was soaked in clothes trembled in unison, and approached the fire unconsciously.

Just at this time, the sound of a horse neighing suddenly came from outside the temple, and the two black men jumped up, one guarded the man behind him tightly, and the other bent down and touched the window.The old man and his group didn't notice anything strange about them because their backs were turned halfway to the three of them. Stretching their heads together and looking out the window, a young man shouted, "Oh, it seems like a convoy of goods?"

But a companion next to him retorted, "No, there is a little maid getting off the first car, it seems that it is a female family member of a big family going out."

The black man by the window quietly retreated back to the original place, but his right hand remained beside the short boot and did not leave.

Soon, a little maid and a man in charge ran in despite the heavy rain. The two probably didn't expect that there would be someone in the temple, and they were both startled.But the steward immediately changed his smiling face, cupped his hands and bowed to everyone, and greeted them kindly, "All old customers are welcome, it's raining heavily and the road is difficult, my family's motorcade needs to take shelter here. If you old customers don't mind, how about allowing us to take a seat?"

Although this dilapidated temple was divided into two halls, the front hall and the back hall had long since collapsed and become uninhabitable.Fortunately, the front hall is also very spacious, the old man and the three mysterious people only occupy two corners, leaving most of the free space.If the steward wants to occupy it, he just needs to settle it directly, and there is no need to discuss it with everyone.But his saluting and inquiring was obviously giving everyone face enough to show his favor first.

The old man was very flattered, he hurriedly stood up to return the salute, and said in a loud voice, "No need to be courteous, the ruined temple has no owner, so the nobleman can do as he pleases."

The steward smiled and thanked again, and finally glanced at the two black men a few more times, but it was impossible to see the middle-aged man hidden behind them, so after thinking about it, he ordered the little maid, " Zizhu, hurry up and call someone to clean it up, Madam is probably tired."

The little maid named Zizhu wore a white satin shirt with a water green pleated skirt, combed her hair with two small beaded flowers on her temples, making her fair and beautiful face even more delicate Pretty three points.While walking around looking for a place to settle down, she replied, "Housekeeper Zhang, I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, so why don't you just rest here tonight, how about you go on your way tomorrow?"

The housekeeper nodded, and asked worriedly, "I can only stay for one night at the moment, but this dilapidated temple is too dilapidated, I'm afraid my wife won't be used to it?"

The little maid shook her head confidently, and replied, "I'm here, butler, don't worry. Let Fuzi and the others remove the tarpaulin on the second car, and I'll use straw curtains and curtains."

The butler was obviously convinced of the little maid, and went out without saying anything.Soon, three or four servants ran in with their belongings.

The little maid had already taken a broken broom and cleaned a corner of the room on the inner side, and borrowed a fire from the old man to carefully check that there were no rat holes or snake nests on the wall. A large piece of oilcloth, on which was spread a straw mat, on which was placed a six-foot-square dark cotton mat, on which was added a piece of white fur, and finally covered with a quilt embroidered with silver and red hibiscus and two Embroidered cushions.

The old man and the others were dazzled by what they saw, they clicked their mouths unconsciously, and thought to themselves, even if a rich family is particular about it, a dilapidated temple can be tidied up more comfortably than the room of my own daughter.

But before they finished expressing their emotions, the little girl seemed a little dissatisfied, and she drove another boy to the car to get a small mahogany coffee table, spread a thick piece of Sichuan brocade, put a carved snack box and a set of blue and white porcelain tea set.Finally, he picked it up and placed it firmly at the end of the cotton pad, and finally said, "Quickly block the wall, and then light a fire. I'll ask my wife to come over."

A few servants giggled and agreed, and swiftly brought straw mats and wooden poles in from outside the temple, surrounded the dwelling that the little maid had tidied up just now, and only opened two holes on the inside. wide entrance.

After waiting for a while, a large carriage was driven under the eaves, and the little maid and a woman in blue helped a young woman out of the carriage.The woman was wearing an ivory double-breasted shirt and a loose long crimson skirt. She gently supported her slightly protruding belly with her hands, and the love that flowed out when she occasionally lowered her head and smiled complemented her original desire. Even the handsome face has three more gentle colors.

A few boys consciously stood in a row, vaguely blocking the eyes of everyone in the ruined temple, for fear that their wives would be surprised.

As a result, the lady glanced at them but blamed the little maid, "Zizhu, I just need to sit in the car for a while, what are you rushing to clean up the house for? On the contrary, everyone is soaked through, so hurry up and cook ginger soup." It's better to get rid of the cold!"

Before the little maid could respond, the leading servant said, "Ma'am, we are not cold, but a little hungry!"

The young lady laughed when she heard the words, and joked, "Those who don't know think that the family has treated you harshly, be careful of Zizhu putting Coptis chinensis in the dishes!"

The leading servant replied nonchalantly, "She is my younger sister, she can't bear it!"

The little maid was so angry that she pinched him hard and shouted, "Don't be so talkative here, don't move the stove, be careful that I won't give you food later."

The boy ran away after touching the back of his head, and at the end he didn't forget to shout, "Fuzi, Wang Wu, you two, guard the wall and don't leave."

Everyone laughed, the woman occasionally turned her head and saw the old man, she smiled and nodded as a greeting, the old man hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

Soon, he entered the wall enclosure to rest.A large cauldron was also placed on the fire, and a young servant fetched a bucket of water from the well in the apse, and poured it in with a splash. The little maid had already cut a large handful of ginger slices, and threw them in together with a dozen red dates. The pot is boiling, and I just recently poured in half a pack of brown sugar for seasoning.The servants rushed forward to grab a bowl but refused to raise their hands to drink it. Instead, they politely sent it to the coachmen outside the hall, and then turned back to drink by themselves with a smile.
