Spring Forest Evening

At that time, I was young, and I fell asleep unconsciously after watching the fireworks. I didn’t even know when my grandmother would carry me back. Later, when I was a little older, I learned about it from my grandmother by accident. Two things happened later that night. :

One thing is that a certain little girl who was looking up at the fireworks, probably in her teens, was accidentally scalded by the fireworks falling from the sky, leaving a few small black scars on her cheeks , bigger than freckles, it still affects my appearance, but there is nothing I can do about it. It is said that I dropped out of school before finishing middle school, because I was always laughed at by my classmates, and I became very inferior.

Another thing is more shocking.

At that time, the fireworks were set off in the golden autumn of October, just after the late rice harvest, which can be considered a harvest season. The front and back of the houses of every household were full of straw. As a result, a few fireworks fell into the sun-dried rice In the straw pile of a certain family beside the field, everyone was looking up at the fireworks with great interest at the grain drying field. When they smelled the smell of fireworks and reacted, the fire had already started.

The sky was dry, and there were old houses in the gates of the southern people. As a result, five or six houses were burned down in succession before they were extinguished.

For this reason, those families were so angry that they joined forces and fought a lawsuit against the big family for several years, but grandma said that the big family was very violent and never lost money.

Afterwards, my grandmother sighed when she talked about it, saying that after all, it is too grand for a child who is only ten years old to have a birthday, and the child should not be too flattered.

I also felt that those fireworks were too big and loud at that time, "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", the ground was shaking, and when the fire started behind, an old lady shouted "It's on fire!" No one paid attention Listen, of course, can't hear either.

can not hear?Recalling this, Zhou Heng was clever and suddenly thought of:

In the scene in front of me, if someone is taking the opportunity to dig a boat at the bottom of the Taiye Pond, wouldn't they be able to hear it? !

Not to mention the people on the shore, even on a painting boat, the fireworks are so loud, plus there are human voices, you may not be able to hear them, maybe you will be like when you were a child, thinking that the fireworks are shaking the hull of the boat!

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng gasped uncontrollably. Fortunately, the voice was not too loud. Only the wife of the Duke Huguo who was in front of her heard it, and looked back at her with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Zhou Heng quickly motioned her to look at the boat with his eyes, and silently said two words to her with his mouth:

Chisel the boat!

However, Mrs. Protector quickly turned her head away and ignored her.

All right, anyway, Shen Fu had already warned them before, and he should have expected what happened tonight, Zhou Heng sighed silently, but felt his heartbeat had accelerated uncontrollably:

Two fireworks have been set off just now. Could it be that they have been chiseled twice?

Quietly raised his head and took a look, the painting boat was still firmly parked in the middle of the water, but he didn't see anything unusual.

That's right, even if a few holes have been dug, after all, the painting boat is so big, it won't be too obvious for a while.

Of course, by the time I really feel it, it must be too late.

Yes, it seems that the empress dowager, mother and daughter or the second prince had carefully considered the timing of Mid-autumn Eve, and they were just waiting to use the loud noise of the fireworks to cover up the movement of the boat.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng secretly raised his head and glanced again, only to feel that the bright moon hanging high in the sky at this moment actually made people feel a chill, and he couldn't help shivering, so he had to secretly remind himself not to panic, There is Shen Fu in everything.

Afterwards, the long sacrificial oration was finally finished. This time, everyone followed the loud voice and said some blessings and prayers in unison, such as "the weather is good", "the country is safe and the people are safe", and then the drums and music were played together, Fireworks bloom.

And probably because of the ceremony, there are quite a lot of fireworks this time, "boom", "boom", "boom", although monotonous, but one red flower after another blooms in the sky under the moonlight, it is still Quite good looking.

However, Zhou Heng had no intention of admiring it. He knelt there and stretched his neck, staring closely at the painting boat in the middle of the water in the distance.

Now I can't care about the soreness of my knees, my heart is beating "thumping", my mouth is even a little dry, but my eyes can't wait to blink, for fear of missing any movement on the boat, I pray secretly, Shen Fu Not on board.

In this unblinking gaze, accompanied by the sound of fireworks on the top, Zhou Heng suddenly saw that the originally stable painting boat below seemed to be shaking, but unfortunately the fireworks were fleeting. Although there was a bright moon in the sky, It was still dark, and for a moment, people wondered if they were wrong.

But when the second firework rose into the sky again, Zhou Heng was sure that the boat was indeed crooked, and the people on the boat seemed to have noticed that the emperor and others could not see the movement on the deck, but there were two The man walked along the hull of the ship with a lantern in his hand, and looked at it from a distance, as if he was looking down to check the situation on the outside of the ship.

And at that moment, Zhou Heng just blinked his eyes, and then he was surprised to see that the two fell into the water headfirst!

Even though he was a little far away, and there were fireworks blooming above his head, Zhou Heng felt that he could clearly hear the screams of the two and the sound of falling into the water, and suddenly cried out in shock:

"what!"

After reacting, he quickly covered his mouth, but he heard the sound, and many people around him screamed like himself, and some people stood up directly and said:

"Someone fell into the water!"

After saying this, those who were looking up at the fireworks or looking down at the water were surprised.

Almost at the same time, the people on the boat probably also heard the movement of the two people falling into the water, and in a blink of an eye, two more people rushed over, Zhou Heng stared at it, and soon, the two people fell into the water headfirst. in the water.

It seems that the people below used some kind of weapon to hook or drag him into the water. Zhou Heng suddenly wanted to get up, but because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were stiff and his knees hurt, so he couldn't do it for a while. Taking a step, I had to lower my head and rub and pat my sore legs.

At this moment, someone nearby exclaimed:

"No, there are assassins underwater!"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Heng heard the people around him screaming and got up one after another, but most of them were just like him, and some even fell on the people next to them before they got up, so for a while The exclamations of "Ouch" and "Ouch" continued, and it became a mess.

The Huguogong and his wife should have been mentally prepared for a long time. Although they are constantly rubbing their legs with their hands, they still support each other and stand up.

Not only stood up by themselves, but then the two of them turned around staggeringly, ignoring the chaotic crowd around them, Duke Hu supported his wife next to him with one hand, grabbed Zhou Heng's sleeve with the other, and whispered one word:

"go!"
