Not just this servant girl, almost everyone came here for the first time.
The sound of rain hit the wooden board above their heads. They had never sat together like this before.
"Now, where are we going next?" Aunt Fang asked.
"It's not sunny yet." Aunt Feng said.
The maids next to them frowned: "Will it still be sunny?"
"Yes," Aunt Feng raised her head. She was still a little uneasy, but she tried to persuade herself to calm down and said calmly, "Look, when we came up just now, apart from the stronger wind and rain, was there any lightning?"
Ah Li said at the time that there wouldn't be any, so just come and come.
So Aunt Feng also said this. After all, everyone was afraid.
The servants thought for a moment but didn't notice.
But if you haven't noticed it, you can also classify it as not, otherwise how could you not notice it.
"Do you want to wait until the weather clears?" Aunt Fang asked again.
"Just make something to eat when you're hungry." Aunt Feng stood up, "Where are the things you picked?"
The first team and the little girls pointed to the burdens they had put down: "Over there."
Nearly thirty loads and more than sixty large bamboo baskets were filled with food, seasonings, wine and oil, almost emptying the back mountain.
Aunt Fang looked over and said tiredly: "Whatever you want to eat, just do it."
At this point, no one is in charge and no one is a slave.
"good!!"
The girls were the first to cheer, and they were so happy that some even clapped their hands, as if they had forgotten the hard work of climbing the mountain.
Everyone is the best at lighting a fire and starting a stove.
The fire started brightly, and in order to prevent the wooden boards from burning, they moved outside.
A girl stretched out her hand, shook it back and forth, then turned back and said, "The rain has stopped."
Aunt Fang and the others raised their heads and looked.
"It really stopped." Aunt Fang said softly.
Aunt Feng, who was still a little uneasy, finally calmed down and said with a smile: "Look, I said I would stop."
"What now? What are we going to do?"
"Eat." Aunt Feng said.
Then she got up and went to the side, took out six incense sticks, and inserted them one by one into the bowl of rice.
"We'll leave after everything is burned."
Others nodded slightly: "Yes."
Looking at the incense, Aunt Fang felt that it was a bit like a dream, extremely unreal.
She seemed to have completely lost her ability to judge, or in other words, she felt in her heart that following Aunt Feng was the right thing to do.
Step by step, along with everyone, following Aunt Feng's steps, we came here.
There was no warning, no preparation, and I was in a daze, but I just did it.
Not just her, many people also feel this way.
When you open your eyes and wake up in the morning, who would have thought that you would escape from the numb life you are accustomed to there at night?
Many people looked at Aunt Feng, not understanding her or themselves.
But having reached this point, there is no way to go back.
Aunt Feng lit the first incense and walked out. The sky was completely dark, and she could no longer see clearly what was going on at Yu's mother's side.
Aunt Feng turned her eyes and looked at the row of huge wooden railings in the distance.
Under the dark night sky, the railings were woven into a long row, swaying in the strong wind, but never falling.
You can't see the end of the railing, it seems to extend infinitely.
The water enclosed by the railings was rushing down the cliff with great waves.
This feeling made the entire mountain top suddenly feel vast.
"This water is very deep." Aunt Fang came and stood next to Aunt Feng and said.
"It turns out that the waterfall at the foot of our mountain comes from here," Aunt Feng said. "The water flow is so strong that it doesn't even overflow."
"Yes." Aunt Fang nodded.
After a pause, he added: "You keep mentioning Ah Li, what about Ah Li?"
Aunt Feng glanced at her and shook her head: "I don't know, I just wanted to do a few things."
"Why don't you ask clearly?"
"There's no way to ask clearly."
Aunt Fang frowned slightly: "Why can't you do anything?"
Aunt Feng laughed and looked at the railings: "This little girl is so weird."
Normally, she was the one who pushed others, but in front of this little girl, she felt like she was being pushed back.
Moreover, what is completely different from this girl is that in order to suppress others, she will deliberately pretend to be fierce.
And this girl, she was so smiling and nonchalant that she couldn't even say "no".
The most puzzling thing is that she has such a strong aura and strong aura, but she doesn't make people feel domineering, let alone annoying.
"Weird," Aunt Fang said, "How can this Ah Li be so weird? Don't you remember the way Liu Sanniang beat her up?"
Aunt Feng frowned and vaguely recalled the figure of a little girl kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and wailing.
One day, she was kneeling on the ground in the courtyard and was kicked hard by Liu Sanniang in front of everyone, but she did not dare to resist.
After being kicked out, Liu Sanniang shouted "come back", and like a docile puppy, she came back crying and knelt there, and continued to be kicked.
Yes, that one is also Ah Li.
"Maybe," Aunt Feng thought for a while and said, "she met a noble person in her destiny, and that noble man probably taught her."
Aunt Fang nodded and said no more.
Aunt Feng didn't say anything.
The two back-mountain stewards, who had been secretly competing for half their lives, rarely stood here so calmly, admiring the high sky and vast clouds in the distance.
In the dark secret passage, there was the sound of water here and there.
The wind came from all directions, carrying a rotten and damp musty smell.
Three Guangdong and Four Guangdong supported each other and looked around randomly from east to west.
"Is it this way?" Siguang pointed his finger.
"I remember it was over there." Sanguang pointed to the other side.
"Why are there so many intersections here?!" Siguang cursed angrily.
Sanguang was also irritable and exhausted.
"I'm sleepy," Sanguang was actually about to cry, "What kind of sin have I suffered like this?"
"Don't worry, we will definitely find a way out. Let me recall, the side we came in is facing east..." Siguang began to recall.
"What nonsense is this!" Sanguang stamped his feet and cried out in anger, "I've never been so useless! I'm hungry and sleepy, and I can't even remember the way!"
"Is there a fire over there?" Siguang looked to his left and said.
Sanguang also looked over, rubbed his tearful eyes, and said happily: "It seems to be true!"
"Let's go!"
The two supported each other and ran with their last strength.
Er Guang led a group of horse thieves, holding many torches, and was approaching menacingly.
The San Guang and Si Guang finally saw clearly who was coming and rushed forward crying: "Masters!"
Er Guang heard the sound in the distance, looked at it intently, and was stunned: "Three Guang and Four Guang!"
A few boys gathered together, and the third and fourth boys hurriedly told the ten-man chief and the horse thieves what had happened in the backyard.
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and their anger gradually grew.
"This is really happening!" Cao Yu, the leader of the ten men, shouted, "I'm going to kill them right now!"
