six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 179
The folks have always had the custom of making a Lantern Festival, and the Lantern Festival is also known as the Youth's Day, so the streets are overcrowded with countless people on this day.

In Gyeongju City, whether it is a businessman or some aristocratic chaebols, they will hold some guessing games such as lantern festivals. The rich and powerful families directly set up lantern sheds in front of their houses, and let people go to guess the lantern riddles. Little lottery.

The reason why the aristocratic family set up the lamp shed is that decades ago, a certain noble daughter of the Qingchang Hou Mansion wanted to choose a husband, so she built a lamp shed. After marrying a noble daughter, it turned out that the Qingchang Hou Mansion really chose a good son-in-law that year, and it became a good story.

With such a successful example, since then, every Lantern Festival, those aristocratic families will set up a lantern shed. Of course, it is not just for choosing a son-in-law, and those who win the lantern riddle can also ask for other things.

Song Zhifu's family also set up a lantern shed this year, and Su Liu and his party also participated in it with great interest, won a lot of prizes, and went shopping on the street again.

The lanterns are indispensable for the Lantern Festival. Walking on the street, you can really see all kinds of lights. There are cute animal lights, and there are all kinds of precious eight-treasure glazed palace lanterns, which make people love it.

Because it is the Lantern Festival, and it is a great day to have fun with the people, the curfew time in Fucheng is two and a half hours later than usual, so the time of Xushi is the time when there are the most people.

"Xiao Xiao, brother Ye, don't go so fast, there are too many people." Chen worriedly told the two little ones, not daring to look too much, for fear that they would get lost if they were not careful.

"It's rare to come out, and the two children are sensible, so don't hold them back." After Chen's words fell, Cao Kui, who was not far away, heard it, turned his head and said with a smile.

He spoke to him abruptly, Chen's face blushed, he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or what, he didn't answer, just walked forward.

Cao Kui was also taken aback. Through the light, he saw that Chen's side was reddish, and he looked a bit gorgeous, so he couldn't help turning his face away, and pressed his chest.

No one saw the little awkwardness between the two of them. Su Xiao and Chen Ye replied that they knew it, and they excitedly pointed to the various lanterns to talk. Song Ying, who was behind, saw her, sour, and quickened her pace to follow. It's just that behind her, there is another group of maids and women.

Because of the Lantern Festival, Song Fei also came out, and couldn't help Song Ying's pleading, so she brought her out, as well as Cao Qing'er, and Song Xiao, who was missed by the old lady at home, went to Beijing after the second year of junior high.

As for Su Liu and the others, all of them were dispatched, plus the girl and woman, their group was quite spectacular.

Seeing Song Ying running after Su Xiao, Cao Qing'er, who had been by Song Ying's side all the time, became a little anxious. In order to please Mrs. Song and to show her performance in front of Song Fei, she took the initiative to take care of Song Ying.

Seeing her chasing after her now, Cao Qing'er was afraid that she would disappear, and was reluctant to leave Song Fei, so conflicted, she scolded Su Xiao half to death in her heart.

"It's okay, there are guards following, if Cousin Qing'er wants to take a look, that's fine too." Song Fei said with a smile.

Cao Qing'er bit her lip and said, "Ying'er doesn't like me following, since there are guards following, I'll just watch her from afar."

After hearing this, Su Liu showed a sneer, saying she would take care of her, with Song Fei in front, would she let go of this opportunity?
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhong Cainiang who was following Ning Guang step by step not far away, and suddenly felt a little irritable.

Leaning closer to Cao Mingzhu, she said depressedly: "We are really in the same boat."

Cao Mingzhu didn't know, looked to the left and right, also showed a helpless wry smile, and patted her hand to show comfort.

"Brother Ning, look at that palace lantern, it's so beautiful." Zhong Cainiang pointed to the eight-treasure glazed palace lantern hanging in a restaurant, and looked at Ning Guang with shining eyes.

Ning Guang glanced at it, hummed lightly, and said nothing.

Zhong Cainiang was disappointed for a while, bit her lip, lowered her head, full of unwillingness.

Seeing the people coming and going around her, squeezing to and fro, she moved closer and closer to Ning Guang, looking at the people squeezing in front, she suddenly thought about it.

"Ouch."

As if being hit, Zhong Cainiang fell to Ning Guang's side, Su Liu found out, and immediately hugged Ning Guang's arm, pointing to the sky: "Look, the flying saucer."

Well, this trick is really low-level and bad taste, Su Liu was taken aback, but still attracted Ning Guang's attention.

As for Zhong Cainiang, seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, the guards behind her quickly caught it: "Girl, be careful."

Only then did Ning Guang notice Zhong Cainiang's strangeness, and frowned and looked over: "What's going on?"

Zhong Cainiang blushed, stood up straight, and wanted to say something, but she suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she saw Su Liu's profound smile and eyes that knew everything.

Su Liu squinted at her, her eyes seemed to say, your tricks are not enough.

"There are people coming and going here, Ms. Zhong must be careful to avoid it, don't let some disciples take advantage of the opportunity, it will be a big loss." Su Liu said coldly, meaning something.

Zhong Cainiang's face turned purple from holding back, she bit her lip, tears filled her eyes.

Ning Guang is not an idiot either, thinking of suddenly hugging his arm and saying something about a flying saucer, and then thinking of Zhong Cainiang's behavior, he suddenly understood something, and his face sank.

Just as he was about to speak, a scream came from ahead: "It's gone, it's gone."

With this shout, the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Looking over, I saw a shop in front of me was on fire, thick smoke was billowing, and people were running around in panic, which made the already crowded street even more crowded.

It took only a moment for the accident to happen, and Su Liu was just stunned, and was pushed hard by someone. Fortunately, she was holding Ning Guang's arm, and Ning Guang was also pulling her, so they didn't get separated.

But Zhong Cainiang was miserable, she was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd, and she couldn't even hear her cry.

"Little, Brother Ye."

The moment the collision happened, Mrs. Chen was pulled to her side by Cao Kui, who was the closest, to protect her in her arms. She was still in shock, and her body went limp. It was with great difficulty that she regained her composure and remembered that Su Xiao and the others had come together. The one in front immediately turned pale.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Cao Kui looked around, the street was full of people in a mess, and he couldn't tell which one was which, and he had to protect Mrs. Chen, so he didn't know how many times he was stepped on .

Chen's eyes went dark, and she almost fainted, but fortunately she knew that she couldn't faint at this time, so she pinched herself severely to keep herself awake.

Su Liu also came back to her senses, grabbed Ning Guang's arm tightly, and said with a pale face: "Ning Guang, Xiao Xiao and Brother Ye are in front."

Ning Guang had a cold face. Seeing that Song Fei was protecting Cao Mingzhu and Cao Qing'er, he ordered the guards to go forward to find them. He took Su Liu and squeezed them over to Song Fei. Fly forward.

Song Fei was also anxious, seeing a guard in the mansion, he hurriedly said: "Escort the ladies back to the mansion first." As he spoke, he also followed Ning Guang forward.

"Cousin, cousin." Cao Qing'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she almost followed her.

Su Liu grabbed her and said, "Don't make any trouble, let's go."

Cao Qing'er shook off her hand and said, "I won't leave, I'm going to find Ying'er."

Damn, Su Liu became angry, and regardless of her identity, she immediately yelled: "Who do you think you are? A heroic woman with world-class martial arts? It's such a mess. You, a woman, can't take care of yourself. Looking for someone? Don't fucking mess with me here, you can't help and you're slowing down, let's go!"

Cao Mingzhu also persuaded: "Miss Qing'er, we can't help you, let's go back first."

Cao Qing'er had never heard such rude curse words since she was a child, she was stunned for a moment, and then blushed: "You..."

Su Liu didn't even look at her, but said to the guard: "I'll leave her to you, if you can't take her away, you'll be knocked out!" Then she took Cao Mingzhu's hand and said, "Let's go." After speaking, just go to the side,

The fire may not have been big, but now there are no officers and soldiers to organize the evacuation, and the people are all crowded together, maybe they were not burned by the fire, but trampled to death.

In modern times, she has seen such accidents in the news often. She doesn't want to be trampled into meat paste. If Cao Qing'er is going to die, let her go.

Cao Mingzhu also knew how powerful she was, although she was also worried about her father and Song Fei, but in such a situation, protecting herself first was the only way to put their hearts at ease.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived soon, and the organizers dispersed. One after another, they also met several girls and women from the Song Mansion, as well as servants from the Cao Mansion. Most importantly, Cao Kui half hugged and half dragged Chen Shi also followed.

Su Liu and the others didn't dare to stay any longer to watch the excitement, they just went back to the Song Mansion to wait for the news.

On the way, the eldest son of the Song family also personally led people to pick them up. After hearing from Su Liu that Song Fei went to find Song Ying and the others, he asked the guards to send Su Liu and the others back to the Song residence, while he himself led people to look for them.

In the Song Mansion, Mrs. Song had been waiting for a long time. Cao Qinger was the first to come forward and knelt on the ground to apologize, saying that she did not take good care of Song Ying, and also put eye drops on Su Liu and Cao Mingzhu, and then fainted from crying past.

Su Liu looked at it coldly, feeling contemptuous in her heart, all of the big households were not fuel-efficient lamps, so she briefly and clearly explained the situation at that time.

Mrs. Song knew that Su Xiao and the others hadn't come back yet, seeing the unconcealable worry in Su Liu's and the others' eyes, she forced herself to be calm and said: "It's okay, with the guards following them, they will be fine."

But even so, her heart was beating wildly, and her head was buzzing. At this moment, someone came to report that the young lady was not well, she seemed to have gas in her fetus, Madam Song immediately went limp, Plunge down.

Cao Mingzhu quickly supported Mrs. Song, and asked the people who were stupid on the spot to bring up the soft sedan chair, and hurried to invite the doctor.

The Song Mansion was in chaos, but Cao Mingzhu acted like the master of the mansion, ordering things in an orderly manner without scurrying around like a headless chicken.

Su Liu nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Cao Qing'er who was lying in the maid's arms. Seeing her eyelids move and her fingers curled, she couldn't help sneering, telling you to pretend, stealing a chicken is not a loss.
