Chapter 90 Children
Everything was silent.
Time pauses.
Even the raging flames seemed to be frozen in the air.
Chu Songjun's thoughts were faster than ever before.
I guess the ceremony is over, so he can leave now, right?
He seemed to have received the blessing of the prayer ceremony.
His friends had experienced an unprecedented wave of enhancement. If they were not still "himself" in a sense, all the ghosts would have gone out of control and devoured him to death by now.
Dad and Mom also received an unprecedented boost, and Chu Songjun could clearly feel that their strength level had reached another level.
If ordinary ghosts can be called ghosts, and ghosts that are particularly ferocious because of unjust death are called "evil ghosts", which are the brave warriors among ordinary ghosts, then his parents can now be called "generals", or the kind of ghost generals who are about to "become kings".
Chu Songjun could now clearly feel that something was about to come out.
All the bones in his body were aching, and the severe pain even made him feel numb.
"puff--"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The splattered blood dripped onto the fallen and overlapping tablets, adding a hint of ominous meaning.
Chu Songjun could no longer restrain himself and suddenly fainted on the mat. His small body curled up under the bright firelight made people feel pity for him.
"Song Jun my son!"
Chu Bingtian was the first to rush into the ancestral hall. With his excited and fanatical appearance, he faced Chu Zhengze and his wife, who were still in the world and had not yet collapsed and scattered into the shadows.
He rushed past as if ignoring them, and their shadows were scattered by his movements and fell into the shadows.
The fire in the ancestral hall was so bright that the beams were set on fire by the flames from the burning incense and candles.
The Chu clan members who rushed in with water to put out the fire were obviously at a loss.
"Grab the ancestral tablets!"
The elder of the Chu clan behind him shouted loudly: "Tablet! Tablet!"
The old man was so anxious that he jumped up and threw away his walking stick, rushed into the fire, took down the tablet and left.
Chu Bingtian picked up the unconscious Chu Songjun and rushed out the door, choking and coughing as he shouted, "Doctor Wang! Go find Doctor Wang!"
On the way, the tribesmen hid one after another.
After all, burning the ancestral tablet is nothing, but if the Chu family, who are recognized by all their ancestors to the point of burning down the ancestral hall, hope for something to happen, the entire Yuzhang Chu family will go crazy.
When Doctor Wang was brought over by the guards, he already had a strong premonition in his heart.
If he hadn't been afraid of being seen crying before the doctor's consultation, he would have definitely died in a very ugly way.
He must be crying very hard now.
Doctor Wang originally thought that Zuo was just suffering from "anger".
Who would have thought that when he saw the scene, he almost flew into a rage and cursed Chu.
The Chu family! Aristocratic family! A long line of nobles! How the hell do you think of your children?
If you don't look at it wrongly, it will become a dying state.
Doctor Wang didn't pay attention to the fire in the Chu Family Ancestral Hall. His whole attention was on the child with a gray and black face.
But even if he doesn't pay attention, there are still many people who do.
The Zi and Chou hours are the best times to sleep, but you can still get up after sleeping.
The flames from the Chu family were soaring into the sky that they were about to burn up half the sky. It was estimated that they could even be seen in the imperial palace.
That night, the entire Xijing and the Chu family did not sleep either.
"My dear, is there a fire?"
The head of the Lu family, who had casually put on a coat, repeated.
He and his wife looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Hurry up and send someone to help put out the fire!"
Mrs. Lu said quickly.
Her child married a daughter of the Chu family of Yuzhang, and the two families became in-laws.
The relationship between the two families is good, and they depend on each other in the court.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, the Chu family is..."
"What is it? Tell me!"
Mrs. Lu said impatiently.
"The ancestral hall is on fire! Don't get involved..."
The housekeeper was embarrassed.
Xie family.
The head of the Xie family was excitedly leading people to watch the fire in the direction of the Chu family.
He even said sympathetically: "The Chu family has become famous all of a sudden. Many new nobles in Xijing who didn't know the Chu family have now heard of the Chu family's name."
After hearing the news, the attendant, overjoyed, reported: "The ancestral hall is on fire."
The head of the Xie family said with disdain: "Oh - it turned out to be a revelation from our ancestors. Now smoke is coming out of their ancestral graves. I'm afraid a child prodigy will be born soon. Hahahahaha."
"Great joy!" he taunted.
Everyone in the government and the country knew that Chu Bingtian had no successor, so how could a child prodigy suddenly appear?
After the Xie family's taunting, the head of the Xie family put his hands behind his back and recited a poem in the firelight to show the character of the Xie family.
In the palace.
The emperor had not yet gone to bed, and soon after the fire started he began to vaguely discover clues.
It's just that he was slow to spread the news, and the news passed through several hands before it reached the palace.
He twisted his beard and ordered, "Wang Banban, order some things later and go to the Chu family to express condolences overnight."
In the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the aristocratic families controlled the royal family, rather than the royal family controlling the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families did not tear their faces apart and were still willing to place the Xuanyuan family in a high position. This was their kindness.
The Xuanyuan Dynasty had never been able to break away from the control of the aristocratic families since its founding, and it would be even more impossible to do so after tens of millions of years of entanglement.
The best time was when the top family at that time, the Xu family of Donghai, was willing to marry their daughter to be the queen.
This was only possible because the emperor himself was extremely brave and had a childhood sweetheart relationship with the girl from the Xu family, and he was able to successfully propose marriage by promising to be together for the rest of his life.
Although the emperor of the Xuanyuan family was diligent in his work, he just played in the playground provided by the family.
The emperor casually called the eunuch beside him to come over to show his attitude, and then went to the harem with another eunuch.
***
[3 years old: You are at the gates of hell again.]
You are so familiar with avoiding every stone on the road to the underworld that you almost know it by heart.
It has come too many times. Even though my physical condition has stabilized a lot in the past few months, it still comes in my sleep many times. I almost died in my sleep.
However, this time it is due to formal management and there is a high possibility that it will fail halfway.
The King of Hell and the Judge squatted at the gate of hell with their hands folded, worrying.
You greeted warmly.
The King of Hell and the Judge also raised their hands and greeted you.
You three ghosts just squat at the gate of hell and play Landlord.
After fighting for a while, Sister Mengpo, who was cooking soup by the Naihe Bridge, came, and the King of Hell quickly took out the mahjong.
Sister Mengpo handed you some soup to urge the soul out of the body to return home. You have drunk it so many times that you almost memorized the prescription.
She sat down at the mahjong table: "It's good that you're here. We're always short of one person. We're almost tired of playing poker."
The King of Hell and the Judge also echoed.
You are not very good at playing mahjong, your expression is extremely serious, and your two short legs are waving cautiously in the air.
The King of Hell looked at your expression, his grey beard and face were covered in bruises, all from the beatings you had gotten at some point in time. He put down a card in a flattering manner and said, "Next time, we've already chosen it for you, and it will definitely meet your requirements! We just need you to be in position, there will be absolutely no hidden traps, and you will definitely live a happy and relaxing life!"
You sternly hit a chicken, feeling the pull of the soul: "Let's talk about it later, let others go first, I don't think I will die for a while."
Doctor Wang's medical skills are second to none. No wonder the Chu family is holding him hostage and refusing to release him.
Anyway, keep going! Doctor Wang! 】
Doctor Wang was sweating profusely and leaned against the bed, not allowing Chu Bingtian to get close to him.
The child is still in danger.
Damn old man Chu, he never respected his medical advice. He warned him over and over again, but the damn old guy didn't take it to heart at all.
In order to complete that crappy ritual, the child was left in the fire for so long.
The billowing smoke and dust from the flames was unbearable even for a strong adult, let alone Chu Songjun's three-year-old child!
This was the child he had saved with so much effort and difficulty! Chu Bingtian, the old thief, brought him to ask for protection in the middle of the night, and urged him to complete the ritual when the fire started! It was simply...
Doctor Wang was furious.
At this moment, Chu Songjun opened her eyes drowsily, saw the serious face of Doctor Wang, and smiled.
Doctor Wang touched the child's forehead distressedly: "Don't move, there is still a needle in your head."
Chu Songjun immediately stopped moving obediently.
Doctor Wang was still angry and couldn't help but blame him: "You didn't even run away when you saw the fire! Are you stupid? Do you have to hold on until you vomit blood?"
Chu Songjun explained weakly: "The prayer ceremony cannot be terminated."
Doctor Wang became even more angry. He jumped up from his chair and said sarcastically, "So my hard work will be wasted?"
"I have snatched your life back from the hands of the King of Hell time and again! You don't value my hard work! I do! If there is a next time! I won't care about you even if you, the Chu family, skin me alive!"
Chu Songjun was stunned.
He pursed his wet lips.
"Do you understand? I know you are precocious! But how can someone force growth like this? I know that only children over ten years old in your Chu family go to worship the ancestors! I think Chu Bingtian is crazy about wanting a child prodigy!"
Doctor Wang cursed in a low voice. There was no one else in the room. Chu Bingtian had been driven out by him. So what if he, Doctor Wang, cursed a few times!
After he cursed a few more times, he looked at the stunned child with an unpleasant expression and said stiffly, "Why aren't you talking? Are you going to help your father scold me?"
Chu Songjun wanted to shake her head, but when she remembered that Doctor Wang said she couldn't move, she stopped immediately.
He looked at Doctor Wang and said, "No, I was just thinking how good Uncle Wang is to me."
Doctor Wang was about to continue scolding people when he choked. After a moment, he stammered, "What, what is that? What the hell are you talking about?"
Chu Songjun continued seriously: "I like you so much."
Doctor Wang felt his face burning in an instant: "You! You are from a noble family! How can you say such things! How, how can you say this! You three-year-old child!"
He pointed with his own finger.
The child, curled up in the bed with his head tied up like a hedgehog, was now tired, with his long and thick eyelashes drooping.
Chu Songjun reached out his hand and gently held Doctor Wang's fingers: "Uncle Wang, can you stay with me? I'm only three years old, and I want you to stay with me."
Doctor Wang felt the soft and warm touch on his fingers.
Chu Songjun is still burning.
He stared at the child's hand for a long moment.
This seemed to be the first time he saw this steady child acting like a spoiled child.
What do you mean by "like"? Humph! Who cares about the little brat's likes?
Doctor Wang was in a daze for a long time. He wanted to draw a clear line between himself and this strange kid and let him go wherever he wanted!
But when I took a closer look, I found that he had fallen asleep a long time ago, and was still humming, as if he was not feeling well somewhere.
Doctor Wang had no choice but to sit back awkwardly and pat Chu Songjun gently, trying to comfort her.
Humph - what a cunning and clingy three-year-old kid, so annoying!
He will leave the Chu family sooner or later!
