Chapter 68 The rain is coming (1)

(I wish you all a happy Yuanxiao Day!)

June 19th, according to legend, it is the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva achieved enlightenment. To commemorate the Bodhisattva, there are many government-run release activities organized by governments in all prefectures and counties in the world.

Since the pool under the Golden Light Top was determined to be the Guanding Release Pool in Taiping Village, this is the first large-scale organized release activity. Since the dawn, the people around him gathered at the Golden Light Top, as lively as the New Year.

Taipingzhai is an emerging town after all, and there are many entertainment activities. In fact, it is very complicated and vulgar. It is filled with false and glitz, and there are very few programs that really make people enjoy the eyes and entertain the body and mind. For many honest farm immigrants from the mountainous areas of Fujian, they are more or less uncomfortable. Such a day evokes their beautiful memories of the past. They work hard and make an appointment to squeeze to the edge of the release pond to take a look. Think about the past, cherish the present, and respect the Bodhisattva.

The sun showed half of its red face on the mountain, covered with thousands of rays of rays of light, and awakened the whole world with excitement and enthusiasm.

Lin Apeng wiped his hands dry, carefully locked the brand new wooden door, and went out in the morning glow.

My husband Linye was tidying up his load not far from the door, and the buckets on both sides were filled with various fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs he caught a few days ago. Not far away, his son was wearing a new clothes and bowed his waist with Qiaoniang from the neighbor Li Erlang's family to see the small fish in the bucket in front of him. The fish were caught by two children, and they were all some unhealthy pond-horned fish in the rice fields that no one wanted. Although they were not valuable, they always had a little intention for the Bodhisattva.

Li Ersan next door stood at the door, chattering and scolding Li Erlang in the door for some reason. The couple came together from thousands of miles away, but still couldn't change their former temperament. They had to be noisy in any kind of life, which was exactly the opposite of Lin Apeng's quiet temperament.

As life got better, Li Erlang's habit of gambling was broken again, and he secretly went out to play a few times from time to time. No matter how strict Xu Ping quit gambling in Taiping Village, there were always places to ignore it, and gambling people were constantly caught. Later, he remembered the methods of his previous life, and organized the married woman and gambled with the official, which suppressed the unhealthy trend.

Li Erniang fought with her husband for more than ten years and was most enthusiastic about catching gambling. With the prestige of the government, she completely overwhelmed her husband in the family. Although the two of them kept making noises, they also avoided great trouble.

Lin Apeng shook his head and walked up to tidy up the burden with her husband. The water was just changed, revealing the unique coolness of the mountains. Fish and shrimps swam around in the bucket, fighting each other, and the sound of water in the bucket was constantly rustling. These fish and shrimps were to release animals and worship Bodhisattvas, but they dared not have any death to blasphemy in it.

After sorting out for a while, Li Erlang and his wife still quarreled over there and couldn't stop.

Lin Apeng looked at the sun and was about to climb to the top of the mountain. He couldn't help but shout to Li Ersao: "Second sister, the sun is at the top of the mountain. Let's set off quickly! It's not good to be dull at home in this kind of day!"

Li Ersao stopped and turned around and said, "Okay, okay, let's go now!"

He turned around and cursed Li Erlang again. When he saw Li Erlang coming out of the door, he also picked up a bucket and was still angry. Obviously, Li Ersan did not condemn him.

Li Ersao locked the door, called out two children, and came to the door of the Lin family with her husband.

He leaned his head to look at the load of the Lin family. The fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs were playing lively. Li Ersan couldn't help but turn back to her husband: "Look at Brother Lin, how many things are in the bucket, there is also a lot of fun and my heart has arrived, which one is like you!"

Li Erlang stammered his neck and said, "What does the wife know? You haven't seen the rich families release animals. Those rich men and women weigh a few pounds of golden carp, hundreds of years old turtles poured in one bucket at a time! I haven't seen any scenes of the Bodhisattva, and you can fool them by just catching some fish in the river?"

After saying that, he turned the bucket he was carrying and showed it to the forestry couple: "The two pairs of carp here are all one pound up. I didn't catch enough, so I bought it with the fisherman. What a scene!"

Lin Apeng held back a smile and said, "What the second brother said makes sense. He is sincere to the Bodhisattva. How could she be picky about her, a god? It's good that our minds are at our disposal. It's not too late, let's set off."

The sun in the sky had passed the top of the mountain, the golden light dissipated, and the heat became louder. The two families did not dare to delay. The man carried the load and walked in front, and the two women followed behind to watch the child.

Tiehai and Qiaoniang each carried their small bucket with one hand and jumped in the middle. Although they released the fish that were not big, how could the Bodhisattva care about these things?

The closer you get to the golden light top, the more dense the crowds you get. When you carry your shoulders, everyone will reach their own hearts and commemorate Guanyin Bodhisattva with their pious or undevoted hearts.

Xiuxiu sat on the ox cart, looking around and watching, enjoying all the aquariums sitting next to her, along the way.

The sun reached mid-air and reached the edge of the release pond under the golden light.

At this time, the pool was crowded with people, and the newcomers could only stand outside and couldn't squeeze in at all.

Compared with the crowd of people who released animals, Master Zhiyun and the little novice monks around him seemed a little thin. If he hadn't occupied a good position early and built a high platform, he would have been afraid that even their figure would not be visible.

Not far from the platform, the incense table had been set up long ago. There were a row of chairs next to it, and there were local figures sitting. Xu Ping sat upright, narrowing his eyes slightly, not paying attention to the crowd around him, but just thinking about his own thoughts.

Gao Daquan doubled the road construction quotation as instructed. Unexpectedly, several financial owners led by Huang Wei did not raise any objections, but also added some wages to speed up Gao Daquan's progress and try to repair it as soon as possible. The reason on the surface was that the mountain road was steep, and Master Zhiyun was old and inconvenient, but Xu Ping was a little unbelievable. The great monk who came to preach the Dharma was not young, but he could not use ordinary people as a theory. Master Zhiyun had been wandering around for many years, so he could not compare with a pampered person. He was very agile, and that mountain road was no problem at all.

This matter is always strange, but Xu Ping can't figure out what the problem is.

Beside Xu Ping, the deputy chief of sugar sugar affairs, was with Han Zong. After he arrived in Yongzhou, he was busy in Ruhe County and the newly opened sugarcane fields. He returned to the tuition department after the sugar-squee season, which was a bit free.

The same rank sounds similar to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the magistrate, but in fact he is a serious deputy. He is incomparable to the situation of the two officials such as the rank of the rank of the magistrate and the magistrate. It can be seen from the two of them that although Xu Ping was only one Jinshi earlier than Han Zong, he had already set a distance between the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank

Sitting next to him was Tao Bingzhong, a military official with a young envoy, who had little real power and had no close relationship with Xu Ping, so he was usually relatively low-key.

Beside Tao Bingzhong, there was Ruhe County Magistrate Huang Tianbiao. His position was even lower, but today he was full of energy and red face. His proud look was not hidden at all.

Xiuxiu walked around the crowd but couldn't squeeze in. She returned to the ox cart and said to Duan Yunjie: "The official only cares about himself and sat inside early, but we could only wander outside!"

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "What day is today? He is the local chief, how much does he have to do, and where can he still take care of us? He doesn't have time to do this, just wait slowly."

"I'm so angry. When we arrive at the edge of the release pond, the excitement has passed long ago. No one will come to see the fish we release. How boring is it?"

Duan Yunjie shook her head: "Want to watch the fun? You will see it when you stand on the ox cart!"

Xiuxiu was impatient, so she had to climb onto the ox cart again, pulled Liu Xiaomei to stand up high, and looked inside the crowd.

"Oh, that's not Huang Tianbiao? Why is he so proud?" Xiuxiu looked at it and couldn't help but scream. Huang Tianbiao has only been missing for so many days, and she is getting richer and richer. From afar, she looks like a rich family member. How come she used to be a joke with them?

Liu Xiaomei pulled Xiuxiu and pointed to the release pond and said, "Look, there are three big trucks there, with flags with the word "yellow" on them. I'm afraid it's the aquarium that Huang Tianbiao released. This scale is not worse than the one released by the Tiju Siguan family. No wonder he is so proud!"

Xiuxiu looked at it and it was true. Moreover, the three cars of the Huang family were filled with big buckets, and she didn't know what strange fish were installed inside. Huang Tianbiao was really becoming more and more disgusting and dared to compete with the family for the limelight.

At this moment, Xiao Shami said loudly: "The auspicious time has come. Master has recited the scriptures and reported to the Bodhisattva. It is the time to release animals!"

After saying that, he sat down behind Monk Zhiyun and chanted the scriptures in a low voice.

When Tan Hu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and lit incense, burned the paper, and asked Xu Ping to come and worship.

Xu Ping took several officials from Taiping Village to pay a visit to the incense table. Tan Hu handed over the scroll. Xu Ping took it, unfolded the scroll, and read the congratulations respectfully.

This Zhuwen was written by Xu Ping, which took him a lot of effort. He studied in the past and devoted himself to the Jinshi exam. He was not proficient in these common styles, so he had to imitate the Zhuwen he had done by his predecessors and asked Duan Yunjie to polish it so that he would not feel despicable.

After reading the Zhuwen, it was another ceremony of burning incense and paper, so the army carried the big bucket to the edge of the pond, and Xu Ping supported the bucket and poured the first batch of fish into the release pond.

This bucket is a golden carp of more than one foot long, even in size and gorgeous appearance. It is not easy to get a whole bucket. The fish are poured into the pond, and the onlookers cheer together. The people standing by the pond also released the fish in their hands in the pond, which is very lively for a while.

Xu Ping didn't need to do the remaining fish. Tan Hu took his men to pour the buckets into the pond. When the buckets of century-old turtles were raised high and allowed the people around him to see clearly.

Xu Ping sat on a chair and saw the many kinds of fish reborn in the pond, and a kind of joy arises in his heart. If he said that in the past days, he had eaten a lot of aquariums. Many of them were endangered in his previous life, and even extinct in his previous life, and they could not eat them even if they wanted to eat them. Of course, they had to have a chance in this life. With the education of his previous life, he did not believe in the saying of releasing animals and praying for blessings. It was just that he had to participate in such activities due to his identity and could not lose face to the official family. But at this time, infected by the surrounding atmosphere, various aquarium creatures were put into the pond, and their joy actually came into Xu Ping's heart.

After Tan Hu released the animals, he picked up the fish prepared by the department. Other people with identities stood up and took their families to release the animals and prepare them.

Huang Tianbiao slowly got up, looked around, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, push our car over and express your feelings to the Bodhisattva!"

His subordinates were still those clan members, and they were already impatient to wait. After hearing the order, they pushed the car to the edge of the pond, climbed onto the car, carried a large bucket, and shouted loudly: "Ten pairs of five kilograms of gold carp!"

After shouting, he poured five buckets of fish into the release pond. It turned out that the fish was too big, and one bucket could only be placed in one pair, and it was filled with half a truck.

Li Erlang was stunned by the pool, and after he fell down the Huang family, he turned to his wife and Lin Ye family and said, "Look, look! Whatever I said, the official released animals from other families is like this. The golden carp weighing a few pounds will be so arrogant!"

After saying that, he lifted the bucket beside him, poured the fish inside into the pond, and whispered: "Li Erlang, two pairs of golden carp, worship the Bodhisattva!"

(Today's holiday, I have to make up for what I owe yesterday tomorrow. I'm sorry-)
