After listening to his mother-in-law's confusing words, Uncle Gong Jian understood something in his heart. With a clang, he threw the bucket he had been carrying on the ground and shouted sternly: "Tell me the truth, mother-in-law. You don't have any rabbit spirit, you
Was there a fire lit at the entrance of a cave?"
Hearing the banging sound, Gong Jian was so frightened that she wanted to pull out her arm. Later, the arm that was held by her man wanted to hold her head with both hands and she shrank, but her man's hand was like an iron pincer.
He held her arms tightly and prevented her from squatting down.
Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother also understood something at this time. He and his mother-in-law looked at each other, and their eyes were full of helplessness. What on earth were they busy with just now? He carefully put the bucket on the ground.
, then he walked over and comforted his sister warmly.
"Sister, don't be afraid, there are no monsters. It's broad daylight and we are all at home. Where did the monsters come from?"
After hearing her eldest brother's warm and comforting words, Aunt Gong Jian's fear eased somewhat.
She stopped struggling there, stopped trying to huddle up, and slowly raised her head to look at her elder brother: "Brother, did you really not see any monsters?"
Uncle Gong Jian's mother-in-law's eldest brother pointed helplessly at the bucket he had placed on the ground and the other bucket that Uncle Gong Jian had just thrown to the ground angrily, and then said.
"We were sitting well in the house just now, but suddenly thick smoke poured in from the window. When the three of us went to the backyard to check, we found that the thick smoke was rising from a hole. We were afraid there was a fire somewhere.
It would spread, so I hurriedly fetched water and poured water into the hole, and then suppressed the thick smoke."
While explaining the reason why they took these buckets, he also explained clearly what they had just done. He could see that the source of the smoke was probably his girl, but she was indeed frightened.
Now I'd better tell her what I have done here. Let her not be so scared first, and then ask her clearly.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Aunt Gong Jian's eyes that had always been blank changed. She first digested what her eldest brother said, and then followed his finger and looked at the two people on the ground.
bucket.
Turning around, Uncle Gong Jian discovered that her sister-in-law was still holding a basin in her arms, and the basin was dripping water, which showed that it had been filled with water just now.
Reconnecting with what their elder brother just said, they found a smoking hole and poured water into it. They also found the hole where the rabbit escaped, and they kept fanning the smoke inside, trying to smoke out the rabbit.
Then, the rabbit didn't come out and the water came out. He put out the firewood he had lit and made his shoes and skirt wet.
No matter how slow Mrs. Gong Jian was, she understood what a mistake this was. She slowly stood up straight. She was no longer afraid, but she was still a little worried. She looked at her house again.
The man's face was darkened. Did she do something wrong?
Without waiting for Uncle Gong Jian to reprimand him, Uncle Gong Jian's natal brother continued to ask. He had to ask this matter clearly, otherwise, what on earth were the four of him busy with just now.
"Sister, you were holding a cattail leaf fan in your hand and talking about lighting a fire. Where were you just now? We didn't see you in the kitchen."
Although the tone of his question was not serious, it still made Mrs. Gong Jian tremble. She glanced at her man with some worry, but found that her man was also staring with two eyes, angry.
Look at yourself.
Uncle Gong Jian was a little at a loss. He was afraid that what he said would make his men angry, and he would beat and scold him like he did a few days ago.
As if he could see the fear in her heart, Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother gently advised her: "Sister, you'd better make it clear. We won't be angry. Everyone must understand this matter, so let it go."
He said this mainly to his brother-in-law. Seeing him glaring at his little sister angrily, he was also worried that his brother-in-law would be too angry and attack their sister in front of his wife.
.In that case, he still doesn’t care about being the eldest brother in his mother’s family.
Although according to his inner thoughts, his sister is indeed a troublemaker. How come everything can be changed in her hands. If this were his own mother-in-law, she would slap her in the face. But this must be
My little sister, I still have to persuade my brother-in-law.
Hearing what her eldest brother said, Aunt Gong Jian gained some confidence. She whispered: "It turns out that we put two rabbits in the utility room. I want to kill one at noon today and burn it for everyone."
But when I walked over, I found that the two rabbits had bitten the straw rope and escaped. In the utility room, I rummaged through the boxes and found a hole. I guess they made a hole and escaped. "
Speaking of this, Aunt Gong Jian carefully patrolled and looked at the three people looking at her. But except for her eldest brother and sister-in-law, whose faces were calm, her man was still glaring at her angrily like before.
Aunt Gong Jian shrank, but she still felt that dying early and dying late was a death. She simply said: "I thought of someone saying that you can use a smoker to smoke the prey out of the hole. So I lit a fire at the entrance of the hole.
, and then fanned the smoke into the hole, thinking that when the two rabbits couldn't stand it in the hole, they would naturally run out.
Unexpectedly, the rabbit did not smoke out, but instead a burst of water came out of the hole. I thought it was the rabbit that had become a spirit. I smoked it, and when it got angry, it turned into water, which in turn put out the fire.
That’s when I was shocked.”
After Mrs. Gong Jian finished speaking, the three people who could only stand there finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Mrs. Gong Jian was fanning the flames on this side of the cave entrance, and after they discovered the smoke from the fireworks on the other side,
, fearing that it would catch fire, he anxiously poured water in from the other side of the cave entrance to extinguish the fire.
After a busy discussion between the two parties, the rabbit burrowed and ran away early, leaving only this long hole.
Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He also felt that his sister was so stupid. How could she do such a thing? Besides, before you do these things, why don't you discuss it with your family?
But now that things were like this, he looked at his sister's wet shoes and skirt, and he hurriedly greeted his mother-in-law. (To be continued)
