On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no marquis and no old lady in the house.
But everyone just felt relaxed.
Mrs. Xu even had a table set up in the pavilion. The table was filled with plump crabs, hot wine was warming on the stove, and exquisite pastries of various colors.
She likes to eat crabs.
But the old lady doesn't like the taste of crab. She hasn't eaten it in seventeen years.
Lu Yuanxiao would go to Big Brother's courtyard to review his books every day after school. At this moment, he hugged Chaochao and went to look for his eldest brother again.
The eldest brother is sitting in a wheelchair. In just two months, the eldest brother has gained a lot of weight, and his original glory can even be faintly seen.
His hand can already be slowly raised.
But he never told anyone.
"Chaochao is here? Come and hug me." Lu Yanshu didn't like to smile and was a little indifferent, but every time he saw Chaochao, the ice would melt.
[Woo woo woo, I really want to light up the lights. Let's put on the Kongming lanterns and the lanterns. Chaochao really wants to play...] Lu Chaochao lay in his brother's arms with an accusing look on his face.
Lu Yuanxiao scratched his head: "Since I stole my sister out last time, my mother has become more and more strict with her."
Lu Yanshu glared at him.
What should you do if something happens to your sister?
"Eldest brother has prepared lanterns. Can you take you to the lake to put the lanterns?" The eldest brother smiled, looking like a gentle gentleman.
The eyebrows are picturesque, and Junmei is clear. If it wasn't for sitting in a wheelchair, she would be afraid that the girl in the whole city was screaming.
Lu Chaochao lit his little head vigorously [The best brother in the world, it would be great if he could draw a sky lantern for Chaochao like Guanyin Bodhisattva...]
There are all kinds of Kongming lanterns in the sky. It would be interesting to put one out of the ordinary in the morning, a Bodhisattva lantern. ]
Lu Chaochao muttered in his heart.
After the eldest brother took her to put out the lanterns, he asked someone to bring out pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
After becoming disabled, this was the first time that he had never held a pen again.
"Brother is best at painting Buddha statues. Today, let's paint a Bodhisattva portrait for Chao Chao." He directly picked up the pen and painted on the lamp.
The young man's eyes were filled with tears of joy, the eldest son had truly come to life!
Lu Yanshu's hand could not hold the pen for a long time. A portrait of Bodhisattva was not completed until it was completely dark.
By the time the painting was finished, it was already night.
Lu Chaochao danced, the bells on his chubby wrists ringing continuously.
"Light...light...light, etc..." The pronunciation is not clear, and only a few words can be vaguely pronounced.
She looked at her eldest brother with eyes filled with wonder.
It's really awesome!
The Bodhisattva painted by my elder brother has kind eyes, as if he is watching the world quietly, just like a real Bodhisattva.
Hearing the shock in his sister's heart, Lu Yanshu couldn't help but smile.
Lu Yuanxiao held a candle and lit the wick of the Bodhisattva lamp.
The moment the wick is lit, the Bodhisattva seems to have his soul injected into him, his whole body is filled with Buddha light, and the aura of compassion for heaven and earth rushes towards his face.
Lu Yuanxiao took a step back, not even daring to look directly.
He almost had the idea of kneeling down to worship.
It is rumored that the eldest brother is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sure enough...
As long as he exists, he can cover up all the brilliance.
Lu Chaochao raised his head and sat in his elder brother's arms, exclaiming in amazement.
The Bodhisattva lanterns fly up into the sky little by little and merge into thousands of sky lanterns.
The Kongming Lantern glows with a faint white light, floating between the sky and the earth.
Lu Chaochao blinked his eyes, made a small seal with his little hands, and sent a stream of spiritual energy into the lamp.
For a moment…
All the Kongming lanterns are actually floating and gathering the Bodhisattva lanterns in the center.
Like, the stars in the sky surround their gods.
"Look, what is in the sky?" Someone looked at the sky in surprise and shouted.
At this moment, everyone was gathered in front of the high platform, admiring Lu Jinghuai's great display of skills. He was originally listening proudly to everyone's compliments.
At this moment, everyone looked up to the sky.
The bustle and hustle and bustle of the city seemed to have been pressed to a halt for an instant.
"It's the Bodhisattva!" "It's the Bodhisattva who has appeared!"
"Look, the Bodhisattva has appeared." The crowd shouted loudly, kneeling on the ground like crazy, and kowtowed.
"Oh my god, the gods have appeared. Are they here to protect us?" Everyone cheered, but Lu Jinghuai stood awkwardly in front of the high platform, pursed his lips, and suppressed the anger gathering in his eyes.
The whole city is worshiping the Bodhisattva.
But Lu Chaochao had no idea how much of a shock the Bodhisattva lantern he set off caused.
She didn't even know that the old lady of Zhongyong Hou Mansion had been kneeling under the lamp all night.
Just to get Lu Jinghuai, Sanyuan and the third place.
Chaochao yawned and looked a little tired. The house was busy today and she didn't take a nap.
"Brother, I'll take my sister back to bed. Brother, you should go to bed early." Lu Yuanxiao hugged his sister distressedly. He had grown a lot since he learned that his father had an outside wife.
Of course, stealing your sister doesn't count!
[Sleeping brother's yard, don't go home or go home. ] Lu Chaochao murmured in a daze.
"Not...fat."
Lu Yanshu was looking at the osmanthus wine in a daze: "Let Chaochao go to my room to rest."
Lu Yuanxiao then carried his sister in.
Leaving two maids to guard the door, he left quietly.
At night…
Everything is silent, and everything is perfect under the moonlight.
Sudden…
A thick black smoke rose from the house, making Dengzhi wrinkle his nose.
"Where did the water go?" I was greedy for a drink at night and took two more sips. At this moment, my wife has not sobered up.
She looked up towards the thick smoke.
The moment his eyes settled, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Madam!" Dengzhi's voice suddenly became sharp.
"The water has broken out, the water has broken out! Come here quickly, Mingde Garden has flooded out!" Dengzhi trembled all over, and his sharp voice pierced the night sky.
Xu was so frightened that she suddenly woke up.
"Inkstone, my inkstone! Chao Chao!" Mrs. Xu lost all color in an instant and stumbled all the way towards Mingde Garden.
Xu's whole body was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She was so frightened that she couldn't even shout out a single word in her throat: "Ah! Ah!" She rushed over like crazy.
At this moment, there was thick smoke billowing at the gate of Mingde Garden.
"Where is Chaochao? Where is the eldest son?" Dengzhi asked loudly.
Maids and servants came from all directions, carrying water and pouring water, but the raging fire was not extinguished at all.
The maid guarding the door was trembling all over.
"Little miss, you are also in the eldest son's house. They are all in the house!" The maid knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
"I saw the third young master carrying him in with my own eyes!"
Xu's body swayed and she was about to fall to the ground.
"Madam!" Dengzhi was frightened.
Xu's throat was dry, and she cried while crawling: "My inkstone, my chao, I have to find them. No, they are still in there, and my child is still in there! Ah!"
"Madam, the fire is too strong, you can't go in." Dengzhi hugged Xu tightly.
Mrs. Xu cried heartbrokenly: "What should I do with the inkstone? The inkstone hasn't come out yet!"
"Chaochao is only seven months old. She will be scared. Let me go! My Chaochao! My Chaochao is still inside..."
Xu rushed in like crazy. The raging fire seemed to destroy everything, and everything he saw was a fiery red.
Her child!
Xu seemed to be crazy.
