With a "dong" sound, a black figure fell heavily from the beam to the ground.
Xing Xing screamed "Zhi Zhi Zhi", jumped onto Grandma Jian Shu's back, got into the cloth bag, exposed her head and looked at Chu Jiu with a hostile look on her face.
Chujiu shook his hands and feet and laughed heartlessly. Grandma Jian Shu rolled her eyes at Chujiu, patted Xingxing's head, and said softly:
"What are you afraid of? Isn't your brother Chujiu also a monkey?"
The time after the meal was very pleasant. The adults did not gather at the table to discuss things in low voices after the meal, as they had done the previous two days.
The leader of the village called Chujiu to move the chairs and benches in the house to the door.
"Lanxi came out to bask in the sun. The sun is very good today."
Lan Xi said that he should keep an eye on the water in the barrel, otherwise it would not be good if it cooled down after a while.
Master Qin snorted and told Lanxi that the boy wouldn't be able to freeze to death for a while, so he could take a break in the sun.
Chujiu also waved to Lanxi, and Lanxi reluctantly went out and sat in the same row as Chujiu.
"Sister, I want to rely on you to bask in the sun like before."
As soon as Chujiu finished speaking, Lanxi blushed and slapped Chujiu on the forehead.
She kept saying how old she was, but she still let Chujiu lean on her back, and the two of them lay back to back to bask in the sun.
The afternoon sun is warm and makes people feel a little lazy.
Looking at the pines and cypresses in the distant mountains from Lanxi, water droplets condensed by mist hang on the leaf tips. Occasionally, sunlight penetrates the water droplets and emits colorful light.
In the farthest bamboo building, smoke is floating into the sky. It must be Mi Li and the others preparing tomorrow's dishes.
I closed my eyes, wanting to quietly enjoy the peace of the moment. However, the peaceful picture I wanted could not appear in my mind.
A few people just sat at the door of the house, basking in the sun quietly, and no one said anything. During this period, Lanxi came into the house and added hot water to my wooden bucket twice.
"Baking in the sun is boring, so I have to take a nap. I'm getting older, and I don't feel energetic if I don't take a nap for a day."
Grandma Jian Shu suddenly stood up, as if talking to everyone or talking to herself. The stars followed behind her, nodding.
"Gila, do you have any good wine in your house? The great monk wants to drink. He wants to get drunk tomorrow."
After the great monk finished speaking, he walked into the house without waiting for the leader of the village to answer.
The leader of the village glanced at Master Qin, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. Master Qin didn't even open his eyes and said leisurely: "It's time to have a good New Year."
The village leader smiled helplessly, curled his lips and laughed softly, the smelly monk must have been thinking about his good wine for a long time.
"Lan Xi, please go back. I won't need your help today."
The leader of the village suddenly turned his head and said something without thinking. Lanxi was suddenly stunned.
"Didn't you say three days? What about brother Qin Feng?"
"Sister Lanxi, don't worry. I can take care of you. Just go back and help sister Mili and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together."
Chujiu moved his head away from Lan Xi's back, patted Lan Xi's back, and said innocently.
In fact, Lanxi has already sensed some signs from everyone's abnormal behavior today. It must be an unusual night tonight.
At this time, they asked themselves to go back first, certainly because they didn't want to drag everyone down. Thinking of this, Lan Xi's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Lanxi girl, are you overthinking it? Hey, I'm most afraid of seeing you like this. Chujiu, I leave it to you."
When the village leader saw Lan Xi looking like he was about to cry, he patted his butt and walked into the house. After Master Qin got up, he smiled and touched Lan Xi's hair and followed the village leader back to the house.
"The ninth day of the lunar month, woo woo woo."
Lanxi turned her head, glanced at Chujiu, hugged Chujiu's arms and started to cry.
Chujiu frowned and stared at the room with a look of helplessness. Among the sisters, Lanxi was the one who laughed the most and was also the one who could cry the most.
If Lan Xi cries, no one can make her cry unless she wants to.
The village leader and Chujiu, who were fearless, would give in whenever they saw Lanxi's tearful look.
Now the village leader and Master Qin have escaped, once again giving Chujiu the task of coaxing Lanxi.
"Sister Lanxi, please stop crying. If you don't cry, I will tell you the reason."
As soon as Chujiu finished speaking, Lan Xi immediately raised his head and stared at Chujiu with tears in his eyes.
Chu Jiu was too scared to look directly at Lan Xi. While coaxing Lan Xi, she told Lan Xi why the village leader wanted her to go back first.
It turns out that after breakfast, Mr. Qin was asked by several other people to make a divination to test my bad luck. Mr. Qin told everyone that relatives cannot calculate the result. But you can try to calculate the result tonight.
The result of the calculation is a big disaster. The hexagram shows that one of the participants tonight will suffer a bloody disaster. Mr. Qin did not continue to calculate who it is.
Master Qin said that the few people here are not ordinary people, and it is difficult to calculate the detailed results. Master Qin meant that he wanted the monk and Grandma Jian Shu not to participate tonight, and they were scolded by them.
In the end, Master Qin threatened everyone that if they didn't agree, he would not want me as his grandson. As a result, everyone ignored Master Qin and did whatever they were supposed to do.
Grandma Jian Shu said that we have been fighting together for most of our lives and have never seen any storms. The great monk said a Buddha's name and did not say a word.
In the end, Master Qin meant that the older ones could stay, but Chujiu and Lanxi had to leave.
As a result, Chujiu said that he knew how to ask for spiritual magic, and everyone else remained silent.
"Does that mean I'm the only one with so many people? Uh-huh."
Lanxi started to cry again. On the ninth day of the month, she had a headache, and she had no choice but to let Lanxi make her own decision. She told Lanxi the situation, whether she wanted to stay or go back, and let Lanxi make her own decision.
Lan Xi got up, moved the small bench at the door into the house, and went to the stove to boil water and cook medicine.
Chujiu must have had a conflict with the leader of the village. Lanxi heard Chujiu roar: "Old man, you are so powerful. Go and tell Lanxi to do it yourself. You all know that you are hurting me."
"Jira, if that girl from Lanxi wants to stay, just stay. Save some energy for tonight. Besides, whether you can pass the ninth grade is another matter, haha."
After Master Qin finished speaking, Lanxi heard the village leader "hum".
After nightfall, the village leader and the others did not have dinner, and sat at the door of the house with deep thoughts.
Lanxi made tea for everyone, Chujiu and Xingxing sat side by side on the steps at the door, picking up the stones next to them and playing with them.
"Here we come! Lanxi go back to the house!"
The leader of the village suddenly spoke up, and everyone stared at the mountains in the distance. Even the stars stopped throwing stones and stared at the front angrily.
Lan Xi glanced at the distance and didn't see anything unusual. However, seeing the solemn looks on everyone's face, she still walked back to the house obediently.
"Zhizhizhi."
Xingxing's irritable screams came from outside the house. Lanxi had just walked behind the door and wanted to look outside through the crack in the door.
Suddenly, an unpleasant fishy smell rushed into Lanxi's nose, and then there seemed to be a huge palm in the air, pressing down on Lanxi.
