Trading one life for seven lives, Wang Fugui didn't have to think twice to know that this was a good deal.
He persuaded his brother-in-law about the various benefits of Li Yan's prayer for rain.
The little girl has no relatives and is alone.
There are few things to do and there are no hidden dangers when using it.
Unlike the seven detained girls, the family has deep roots in He County.
If you use it, it will offend people very much.
Secondly, since the little girl took over the Yaoxiangtang, she has often given out porridge and medicines to benefit the people, and has gained great trust and love from the people.
It would be more convincing if she prayed for rain.
With such words, the little girl is simply the chosen one to pray for rain.
Zhou Bi couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he immediately agreed.
That's when the scene before us happened.
Wang Fugui retracted his thoughts and his eyes fell on the girl again.
Willow leaf eyebrows, hibiscus face, ice skin and jade skin match the gods.
Can such a beautiful girl really have no choice but to die?
Wang Fugui rolled his eyes, approached Zhou Bi, and muttered: "Brother-in-law, Li Yan kept saying that she was powerful in the hall, do you think she really has the ability to make waves?"
"Are you still calling for wind and rain?"
Zhou Bi's mouth twitched: "Your brain must have been eaten by a pig."
"Besides beauty, can you hold other things in your mind?"
It's a shame he could ask such a question, he was really using his own brain as a decoration.
Wang Fugui was not angry even after being ridiculed. He smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you are wrong to blame me. I just looked at it and got over it, so I didn't have any bad intentions."
As he said that, he changed the topic and said, "But look at the little girl's posture, she looks pretty. Maybe she really has magical powers."
"After all, there have been rumors these days that the redbud blossoms bloom and the goddess appears."
"And the redbud flower, which only blooms once in a hundred years, bloomed just opposite the door of Xiangyao Hall three days ago. This is a miracle."
"People all say that the goddess who came to the world is Li Yan. The little girl came to the world to save the world and benefit the people."
"If she is really the reincarnation of a goddess, she must have great luck. It is not impossible that she can change the wind and rain."
Wang Fugui was frothing at the words. Seeing that he was getting more and more mysterious, Zhou Bi sneered, "You believe the rumors, you just use this as a storybook."
Zhou Bi looked disapproving: "If you want me to believe that Li Yan can control the wind and rain, or that Dr. Cai can bring the dead back to life, it is even more possible than this."
In the past few days, rumors about the appearance of the goddess have spread a bit fiercely in He County.
Zhou Bi had heard about it a long time ago and laughed it off after hearing it.
These exaggerated rumors were just meant to fool ordinary people. As the county magistrate, Zhou Bi naturally did not believe them.
Wang Fugui saw that he sneered at this and looked confused: "If brother-in-law doesn't believe it, why bother with this?"
Zhou Bidou glared, "She wants to seek death herself, how can I stop her?"
The little lunatic went crazy and wanted to pray for rain, and he wanted to use the rumors of the goddess's appearance to appease the people.
Everything is just smooth sailing.
Now looking at the way the people of He County treated the girl like a god, Zhou Bi felt that he still underestimated her.
No wonder my mother kept thinking about her before going to Dabei Temple.
Just as he was thinking about his mother at home, Zhou Bi saw a familiar figure from a distance.
Longevity.
Isn't this my mother's personal maid?
Did he read that correctly?
Zhou Bi rubbed his eyes.
If she didn't accompany her mother to Dabei Temple, why would she come here?
Zhou Bi felt bad.
The old lady had told him before leaving that she would not come back for ten days and a half before going to Dabei Temple to worship Buddha.
Could it be that something happened on the road?
In these extraordinary times, bandits appear from time to time.
There are people who rob, kill and even eat people. Thinking of this possibility makes Zhou Bi's back feel cold.
While thinking, the little maid had already walked up to him in a few steps.
"How did you come?"
Zhou Bi asked her, "Where is the old lady?"
The little maid bent her knees and saluted him: "Return to the county magistrate, the old lady has returned to the house."
"The old lady asked her servant to come over and send you a message, asking Miss Li to go to Fulu Hall after praying for rain. She has important instructions."
"its not right?"
After Zhou Bi felt relieved, he thought about it, raised his eyebrows, and asked again, "The old lady has returned home, so she won't go to Dabei Temple?"
The little maid lowered her head and murmured: "The old lady said that she accidentally left behind the scripture that Miss Li copied for her."
After Zhou Bi heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He couldn't see the trick of his old mother.
He sighed: "Old Madam, you really have such poor excuses."
Three months ago, after Li Yan recovered from her illness, she started doing things more and more crazily.
Suddenly, he caught the eye of his old mother and started walking around his house frequently.
This time the matter of praying for rain was determined, so my mother said that she would go and worship the Bodhisattva.
He also regarded his mother's heart as a mirror and deliberately avoided the matter.
Now it seems that he made a miscalculation.
The old lady made it clear that she didn't trust him, so the protector came.
Zhou Bi couldn't help but press his forehead. Things were already annoying enough, but he didn't expect his old mother to come to make things worse.
I don’t know how much ecstasy soup Li Yan poured into her old mother, making the usually cold-hearted old man go out of his way to be kind to her.
Wang Fugui was secretly happy after listening.
As long as the old lady is willing to come forward, the little girl's life will be safe.
Who told Zhou Bi to be a filial son with twenty-four filial piety?
Zhou Bi told the maid: "Go to the Yaoxiang Hall and ask the maid Li Yan for the scriptures. Once you get the scriptures, send them to the old lady as soon as possible. If the old lady still wants to go to Dabei Temple to worship the Buddha, tell the housekeeper to call a few more people.
escort."
Zhou Bi could still cope with a little lunatic, but if two people, an old man and a young boy, went crazy, Zhou Bi would really not be able to bear it.
After Zhou Bi finished speaking, he found that the little maid was still standing there motionless like a wooden stake, and couldn't help but feel angry.
He raised his voice and said sternly, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
The little maid resisted the pressure and replied bravely, "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, the old lady also said that she raised you with all kinds of hardships. If you become a parent official, you won't be able to listen to her. If she can't even do this,
You, she must go see the old man lying underground and cry."
"The old lady also went straight to the spy. Within an hour, she will see Miss Li alive and kicking, otherwise you will be able to see her."
After the little maid finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at his face and ran away.
Zhou Bi stood there, his chest rising and falling violently "..."
For the sake of Li Yan, why would the old lady put herself in this situation?
One hour.
This is to determine the timing before and after praying for rain.
Even if he wants a lively Li Yan.
Afraid that his prayers for rain would fail, he ordered people to tie up Li Yan and throw her into the river so that she could become the wife of the river god.
In the old mother's mind, is he a ruthless person who ignores her life for the sake of official position?
Zhou Bi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood and had to swallow it forcefully.
Forget about the taste.
Wang Fugui, "..."
My mind is settled.
The old lady is indeed an old lady.
He sent a little maid over, but without even showing up, she beat her brother-in-law to a pulp, leaving him unable to resist.
Watching this scene of mother and son breaking off their heads made him feel so happy.
Wang Fugui looked back at Li Yan's practice, his mood changed and he felt happy.
After all, beautiful things only look good when they are alive, no.
