Chapter 555: The Life and Death Jump on the Nine-Foot Platform (Part 2)
,
Early in the morning, the Fu family's ancestral hall began to make noise. The maids who killed chickens and sheep, peeled and chopped meat, carried incense tables, and bought prayer banners, incense candles, yellow paper fruits. The people of the maids who had not fallen into the ground were shuttled through the chaotic and crowded courtyard where their feet were not too much. The two maids who were breathing did not realize that they had already collided with each other. In an instant, the golden plates in their hands were almost unable to stabilize at the same time. The fruit dishes, jerky and other items used for sacrifices were spilled all over the floor. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were pushed from behind and from behind. The two of them, who were already frightened, finally failed to hold the two pairs of golden plates in their hands. With a clang, the bright golden plate fell in response to the sound, and the yard was filled with the sound of big beads falling from the jade plates.
A crisp cry of "Wow" immediately calmed the surroundings. The nanny who was already preparing to watch the fun, the sarcastic people, whispered to each other, to see if these two maids had a holiday or strong relationship with them. If they were powerful, they would never mind passing all this today to the ears of the manager. Although this matter can be big or small, after these gossiping mouths, many people can often decide whether to go or stay. What's more, today's day is famous for being important to the Fu family. Their own food, clothing, parents and ancestors can be offered one by one, and offended the master's ancestors. There is no room for this matter to be said to be.
"What are you crying? You haven't picked up the fruits and take them back to wash them and then bring them up? If you do anything again, take your flesh carefully." A man who looked in charge finally stopped the situation from deteriorating further. However, the two crying maids picked up the golden plate and left with a nervous expression. He called a secretary beside him to his eyes and whispered: "Did these two women be bought recently? Why haven't I seen it?"
"Manager Pei, this is a person sent by Grandma Wu's house. Naturally, he took Grandma Wu's way, so it's not convenient for the younger ones to inquire."
"Mrs. Fifth Grandma is a famous beauty in the family. No wonder these two girls were born so beautiful. Oh, what are the names of these two girls?"
"Master, the tall and thin one is Erfeng, and the one with a round one is Cui'er. Although I am relieved, the blood between them and the fifth grandmother is separated by eighteen bends. What's more, I've committed this today. I'll go and knock them down and take them to my room later to atone for their sins. I'll say that their going or stay depends on their next performance."
"Si'er, I mean, why do I like you more and more? I just like your cleverness and it's reliable to do things for you."
"But the fifth grandma must inform you in advance. After all, if this matter is exposed to that level, my face may not be very good."
"Don't worry about these things, I feel a sense of responsibility."
The two were still muttering there. One of them was about 40 years old, wearing a new square scarf on his head, a brand new plain coat on his body, a golden belt on his waist, and a pair of new soap boots on his feet flashed out like a dragon and tiger walking. The various precious accessories hanging on his waist made a crisp sound as he walked in the wind, which attracted the women around him and the women paused and looked around. The person who came was Fu Zhongjing, the owner of the Fu family.
"Master." Manager Pei and the servant who called Sier immediately bent down and bowed to the person coming.
"How are everything ready?"
"Don't worry, Master, everything is going on in an orderly manner as the master told me."
"The posts of nobles, squire and men from all over the countryside have been delivered to the banquet, right?"
"Don't worry, Master, I have sent someone to Chengdu Prefecture. When those high-ranking officials heard that the master was going to hold a banquet for ancestor worship, they all wanted to have the style of the master."
"You said today is just the day when the master is full of energy. Why did my angina pectoris suddenly suffer? I hope there are two caring people who can help me rub my heart. Those young ladies are jealous every day, so don't care about your master's life or death? Manager Pei has a suitable candidate for the best recently?"
Manager Pei immediately replied in embarrassment: "Master, I will definitely help you find a few skillful and skillful people among the servants."
"Manager Pei, you have been to the Fu family for many years, right? Don't ruin your life that is so beautiful that others envied. If you think about it carefully, you can think about it carefully and reminisce about it, there is really no right thing to do?"
Sier next to him immediately winked at Manager Pei. Manager Pei slapped his head and then came to his senses. Mr. Fu stood beside them and eavesdropped on their conversation. He had just turned around and asked him for the two yellow girls. He was sweating in his back and immediately showed his affection to Fu Zhongjing, "Master, look at my memory. Just now, I thought of two suitable people. But these two people had just arrived at the mansion and had a hand. I was afraid that they would not have any serious hands on their hands and would not be able to serve the master."
"Hello, the newcomer, the master can train them well. Today is over. Take Erfeng and Cui'er, the two girls, to the side room where I often rest at night."
Manager Pei dared to conclude that the conversation he had just had with Sier clearly was eavesdropped by the master behind the scenes. Looking at the master's back, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If Sier next to him hadn't reminded him, this incident would have come to an end today.
"Si'er, when did the master come?"
"God knows that the master is usually elusive, and he likes to wander around and listen to these gossips of servants when he has nothing to do."
"The bee is in her arms, she will untire her clothes and go to rush. The master likes to buzz around, but we have no way to do it. Today, the cooked duck flew away, and I feel unwilling to accept it."
"Manager Pei, let's admit that this matter is wrong. He eats people with a soft mouth and takes a short hand. What's more, we have to rely on the Fu family to make a fortune. After the spring begins, the high-priced grains will be sold. I accompany my grandfather to go to the Chuguan in Qinlou every day to drink flower wine. I heard that there are another group of girls with good water and color in it."
"I love to listen to your words, and it's not in vain that I have cultivated you well over the years. Now this matter is just like that. The crops are not a big deal. You and I can count on the future of your future and future. Everyone is so confused about these people who come today, so arrange more available people in the granary."
"Master, something happened there. I'll come to see you. Don't worry, accompany the master to greet the guests in front. If I'm watching from the granary, I will definitely not be able to make a big basket."
A group of guests who came to attend the threshing farm in front of Fujiazhuang have been pouring in one after another. Compared with the host's simple clothes, the guests' bright clothes and hats are too eye-catching. Fu Zhongjing, who was happy, always focused his eyes on the pile of gifts that were gradually piled up like a hill. This is the most eye-catching with a dazzling coral tree sent by the eldest son-in-law of an official and a pair of green bead curtains sent by the second son-in-law of a grain merchant, which invisibly adds a lot of color to his father-in-law's status. Whenever he hears the guests who have just entered, Fu Zhongjing smiles even more happily and brilliantly.
What surprised Fu Zhongjing was that his son Fu Chunnian, who had recently made great achievements, had not appeared on this important day. He was unable to show up at the important moment when the guests and ancestor worship was about to begin, which made Fu Zhongjing, who was sitting on pins and needles, look a little ugly.
"The auspicious time has come, and the ancestor worship has officially begun." A deacon-like man appeared in front of everyone holding a pair of silk full of small characters written on earthworms, muttering words. The colorful pennant flags on the walls rustled in the wind. In the distance, the hills and trees in the old Ya trees were densely filled with people watching the fun.
Just after the deacon finished reading the lengthy eight-legged essay, amid the dense rainy gongs and drums, amid the sound of gongs and drums, a black, golden, and crimson lion jumped out. They were making various naughty and cute movements such as churning and jumping. The atmosphere suddenly became warm by the three suddenly appeared lion dancers, and cheering around and applause became a piece. At the middle of the threshing field, there were no idea when a temporary high platform built with nine-foot square tables tied together with legs and feet: at the bottom, nine tables painted with red paint, four more, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors were stacked together with another four nine-foot tables, standing at the bottom, looking up, making people dizzy. On the table on the sixth floor is a table.
There was something special hidden in the wine jar, which made everyone's curiosity come up for a moment, which made everyone frequently speculate and look around. A twine line was pulled out from the four sides of the wine jar, facing southeast, west and north. Small triangle colored flags were tied to the thread, extending to the bottom of the entire platform. From a distance, the entire six-story high platform seemed to fall into a colorful ocean at this moment, dazzling and disconnected. Around the six-story high platform, when the bamboo curtain originally covered on it was lifted, a pit that everyone exclaimed was exposed. The pit was filled with dense sharp bamboo pieces of different shapes. It seemed that in order to dispel everyone's doubts, there were sparse strong men pouring fluffy soil into the pit, until the intimidating bamboo tips were completely covered by loose soil.
"What are the Fu family going to do?" The gentry, who didn't know what medicine to sell in the Fujiazhuang gourd, whispered to each other and discussed this wonderful show that he had never seen before.
"I think filling the soil inside will not have any effect at all. If you fall off such a high platform and fall into this pit, you will not be tied into a blood hedgehog?"
"Have you ever seen such a thrilling thing last year?"
"This is the first time I've seen it"
This incident not only attracted the attention of all the outsiders present, but even Fu Zhongjing, who was listless just now, showed a strong interest. From the gap exposed by the golden lion's head, Fu Zhongjing had already discovered a familiar shadow. The martial artist who danced the golden lion that attracted everyone's attention was Fu Chunnian, the late Fu family's eldest son. The head lion blinked at Fu Zhongjing naughtyly and showed goodwill to him, making the female relatives surrounding Mr. Fu screamed in joy. When the identity of the real owner wrapped under the golden lion was discovered by other sharp-eyed and thoughtful people, it caused a big riot. Fu Zhongjing's face became more and more smiling and glorious. There was no doubt that the son he loved the most satisfied his infinite vanity in some aspects just now.
"They are on the platform." With a reminder, everyone looked over in the voice. Three brightly colored lions climbed to the first floor of the six-story platform from three different directions through the bridge built by the stool. The originally harmonious three lion heads began to fight and fought each other in order to grab the mysterious gifts placed in the wine jar on the sixth stage.
The golden lion seemed to be more skilled. It fought directly from the heads of two lions that were rushing towards it with malicious intentions. It jumped up on the second-story platform like a double lion stacked arhats and jumped through the narrow encirclement and went up to a higher level. Just as the golden lion danced with a complacent body, it attracted the applause and cheers around, the sudden scene almost suffocated everyone. One was pitch black all over, and its body was embellished with gold lines, eyes, ears and other key parts.
Outlined with red lines, the black lions, which seemed to be a little out of place with the three lions, broke into the eyes of everyone in public. In the incredible expressions of everyone, the lion's head rose from the ground and jumped onto the first square platform of the six-story nine-foot square table like a black elf. At this moment, the other two lions who were thrown by the golden lion on the first square platform were looked at each other, and almost at the same time turned their eyes to the golden lion's head on the second platform, waiting for the golden lion's head to issue the next command.
"Stop them, today the green in the wine jar must be picked by the lion of the Fu family."
As soon as Fu Chunnian finished speaking, the two originally lazy lions who were about to release the water suddenly became energetic and rushed towards the black lion who had just been on stage.
The black lion shot and kicked the black lion almost at the same time, but its side kick had not yet approached the black lion. A shocking roar was like a thunderbolt sounding in a sunny day. At the same time, the black lion turned over and fell from the first floor square platform in a uniform manner. Amid the screams of covering the face, the black lion did not fall into the pit next to it. Instead, the two black lions hung their legs and feet on the calves of the nine-foot square table next to it. What makes people laugh even was that the black lion even bit the tail that the black lion had not had time to hide with its mouth.
"Let you also taste the feeling of falling from the stage."
One of the black lions finished speaking. The two of them returned to the first floor table with the force of biting the tail of the black lion. The black lion even pressed the black lion under him. Amid the sound of kicking the flesh, the originally energetic black lion quickly turned into a scattered lion. The black lion used huge force to pull it to the side. The black lion was unbiased and fell on the edge of the pit, which made the people around them suddenly feel good about the black lion, which was originally in a weak position. Fu Zhongjing, who found that something was wrong, had already gathered a group of shopkeepers holding sticks around him. It was obvious that he also noticed something was wrong. He was just facing those well-known visitors, and he didn't dare to go so blatantly to bully the few.
After seeing his companion being thrown off the platform so easily, he frequently sent signals to the golden lion above, indicating that the black lion seemed not simple, and hoped to get the help of the golden lion.
The golden lion, who was already in a dilemma, also realized something was wrong. When the black lion, who was becoming more and more brave, directly forced the crimson lion's head to the stage with a simple rampage, the golden lion had no time to turn around, and began to slowly move slowly from the third platform to the target. Their real purpose was to win the first place in the wine tank.
"Brother Chunnian, you can't eat alone. Everyone can eat a bite, and this is lively."
"Do you have the ability to show your name? I won't beat the nameless person."
"We are the Black Lion Team in Yuan Township, Lion Tail is my brother Da Zhangzhu, and I am his eldest brother Wu Dabang."
"It turned out to be a dilapidated place in the original town. What qualifications are you qualified to come here to show your prestige? Now I will give you a chance to leave here immediately with your black lion. The old man can leave this matter without any blame, otherwise, you will have a good life in the future."
"Young Master Chun Nian, you see that we are in a difficult situation now. We can agree to your request, but the audience in the audience will not agree. Listen to their voices."
"Black lion, come on, don't give the golden lion a chance."
"A hero who plays Ni Jun's blackmail, if you can beat this black lion, I will marry your sister to you."
"Young Master Chunnian, listen, I'm sorry for my brother to marry a wife."
It was a hurry. The black lion on the first floor was clinging to the hemp rope tied with a colorful pennant next to the platform and the table feet on the platform almost arrived on the fifth floor at the same time as the golden lion. In the eyes of everyone, the black and gold colors were slinged together like two angry beasts, pounced, leaping, flashing, jumping, moving, kicking and stepping. The two lions who met on the narrow road on the nine-foot square platform each showed their true colors. The two lions even used all their skills. In the square inch, after more than ten rounds, they did not get any advantage. The eyes and emotions of the crowd were completely attracted by the fierce fighting between the two lions on the stage. Many people did not dare to show up, for fear of missing the victory in the blink of an eye.
"Well."
While fighting each other in a flash, the black lion's head caught fire for some reason. The crowd who had originally developed infinite affection for the black lion that had come out from the middle of the road suddenly pinched his heart to his throat, fearing that something bad would happen at this time.
"break."
The fire on the head of the black lion is getting bigger and bigger. For a moment, the platform is surrounded by black smoke. At the moment when everyone thought that the black lion would definitely defeat, the golden lion, who had already taken the opportunity to climb the sixth floor platform, was about to pick green. However, he encountered the next crisis that he had completely unexpectedly. After the shouting sounded, the base of the sixth floor platform was kicked off by a man hidden in the black lion. The wine tank on the sixth floor platform immediately lost its balance and a huge sound. The golden lion and the wine tank were smashed under the platform at the same time.
The two of them took off the burning black scorched lion and revealed their true faces. A smiling scar-faced man quickly threw the colorful hemp rope into a beautiful arc, wrapping the golden lion and the lion dancer who were in a loss of power in the air. In his other hand, he tightly grasped the spoils that had been taken out of the falling wine jar at some point. When the scar-faced man and his companion next to him presented the eight dragon and seal-like words "Spring is near the southwest, and everything grows." The crowd cheered and thunderous, pushing the lion to the climax.
When Fu Chunnian and his companions were hanging in a mess between the first and second floors, when someone was untied, a burst of laughter rang out in the crowd. The faces of Fu Zhongjing and Fu Chunnian's family looked ugly like purple pig livers. Fu Chunnian was already shouting at the shopkeepers holding sticks and surrounded the five-story high platforms, ready to give Cheng Yaojin a little color to the face of him.
"Young Master Chun Nian? Why are you doing this? As the saying goes, victory or defeat is common for military families. If you make such a big furious act for a bankrupt like us, it will make your Fu family not have a broad mind."
As the crowd pointed at the stick in his hand, Fu Chunnian pointed at the scarred face in the air and shouted: "You uninvited dog thing, don't open your dog's eyes and see, can you come here? Is this place so angry now? Should you come down and let me break one of your legs, or do you jump into the pit yourself, and you choose your own choice."
"Can I turn the story if I jumped on this?"
Fu Chunnian sneered, raised his eyebrows, and shouted aggressively: "You'll jump before you talk."
"Young Master Chun Nian, this is your fault. If I jump down and escape this disaster, you still want to break my leg at that time. Who should I ask for reason with this? We must make a life and death case to prove that you will not cause trouble for me after I jump down, so that I can feel at ease when I jump down."
"This" Fu Chunnian, who was originally very powerful, immediately became hesitant.
The crowd of people became boiling again, and the crowd was noisy and noisy.
"That lady? Can you help me sign a big name?" Scarface suddenly shouted at the most beautiful woman who approached Fu Zhongjing in the crowd.
"Bold, Mrs. Fifth, are you just calling and drinking?"
"What's the problem? I'll do this for you." The woman, who was already quite color, walked gracefully towards the life and death situation that had just been planned, and gave a charming look to the scar-faced man squatting on the edge of the platform.
"Madam, can you help me miss this life and death situation?"
The fifth lady opened her mouth lightly, and a pleasant sound made the crowd restless again.
"Dare you ask the hero's surname?" After thinking of life and death, the fifth lady was carrying a pen with a pen dipped in ink, staring at the scar-faced man who was more and more delicious as she looked.
"Wu Bo. Xiao Ke is grateful for the kindness of his little lady."
"Slowly, since Wu Niang has signed your name for you, you must recover some interest from you. Now you can immediately turn ten times and then jump down."
Fu Zhongjing, who was beside him, was stunned at this moment. He always felt that the name said by the scarred man on the platform seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it like a short circuit for a moment. Instead, a guest who came to the banquet first reacted. When he walked in anxiously and prepared to tell the other party what he thought, the scarred man on the platform jumped in front of everyone and could turn him into a pit that might have turned into a hole.
"Ah, ah, my feet were penetrated by bamboo sticks, it hurts so much, it hurts so much." The scarred man screamed in pain in the pit, and Fu Chunnian was gloating on the side. The crowd screamed in surprise, and everyone was secretly scolding Fujiazhuang for bullying.
After Fu Zhongjing was told the true identity of the person who came in the pit by the guest who came forward, his face was as dark as before. He fell on the chair of the Grand Master suddenly felt cold all over and cold all over his body. It took him a long time to slowly come back to his senses and shouted to the shopkeeper beside him: "Come on Lord Wu quickly and lift Lord Wu out of the pit. No, please come up."
,
"Dad, why should I be so polite to this person named Wu? This is what he suffered from."
"You rebellious son, do you know that you have caused a big disaster? You just offended the magistrate Wu Bo from Chengdu Prefecture."
"Dad, this joke is not funny."
"Dad doesn't have the time to have fun with you. Let's see how I'll deal with you later."
Wu Zhongjing had already taken two steps at a time, and went to the Wu Bo Prefect Wu and the gentry who seemed to have suffered a disaster in the pit. Everyone was mourning, and their expressions were even ugly than those of the dead at home.
Wu Bo, who was originally shivering in the pit, suddenly straightened his body and jumped out. Except for some soil, there was no scar on his feet. A knee-deep footprint was exposed in the pit, which scared Wu Zhongjing and others into a cold sweat. Wu Bo, who was praised by the gentry, did not move towards the top position that was temporarily arranged, but slowly knelt on the ground. At this moment, Fu Chunnian, who buried his head between his thighs and did not dare to look up, walked over.
"Since you know my identity now, I have to collect some interest from you. There is a brother above me waiting for you. I will jump from it like I did just now, and this will be over."
"The young man who does not know in the spring is not guilty"
Before a man who was willing to stand up for justice was finished, Wu Bo interrupted his words: "What's the rush? It's your turn right next."
The moment the man heard the news, he was so scared that he collapsed into the arms of the servant next to him, muttering to himself: "Why is the only crime in me?"
"You all have the major suspicion of not reporting the information and teasing the imperial court's official orders. They are both guilty of Fu Chunnian."
For a moment, the cry of crying and grievances turned into a circle. Even Fu Chunnian, who was driving the ducks on the shelves, stood on the edge of the platform, hesitated for a long time and did not dare to jump into the pit, let alone had to turn ten times. He believed that he did not have the good luck as Wu Bo just now. After being affected by the compassionate atmosphere around him, Fu Chunnian actually stood on the fifth-floor platform and cried loudly: "Dad save me, the child doesn't want to die."
"Please beg Lord Wu to forgive the sins of the dog son." As soon as Fu Zhongnian spoke, the people who pleaded for him knelt down and burst into pieces.
Chapter completed!
