Fires are banned throughout Jiangnan Town, and lighting is not allowed at night.

It is rare for Xiaohuang Village to be as dark as tonight, with no light to be seen.

Standing in the corridor on the second floor of his home, Zhu Jiangjiang looked at the starry sky, and suddenly felt like there was a power outage in the village when he was a child.

Not only did she not panic because of the fire ban, but she also felt particularly at ease.

Perhaps it was because of the fire ban that made her feel that the fire could be avoided, so she felt very at ease.

"What are you thinking about?"

Pei Ji took a shower and came upstairs with his long wet hair hanging behind him. The village was very quiet, so Zhu Jiangjiang could hear the sound of water drops from the end of his hair falling on the floor.

She turned her head and saw him wiping his hair, so she naturally took the towel in his hand and wiped it for him.

Zhu Jiangjiang had something on his mind, so he could only tell Pei Ji, "I was thinking, what if the fire didn't start? What if the fire did start?"

She is now caught in a tangle of fires and non-fires.

If the fire really ignited, the result was something she didn't want to see. If the fire didn't ignite, what image would she become in the eyes of everyone?

Would they feel that this was just a prank on her part?

"Whether the fire is real or not, it has nothing to do with you. I will take care of everything. Except Mr. Wu and the others, no one knows that you brought up this matter. You don't need to worry."

In the order given by Pei Ji, all the responsibilities have been placed on herself, and no one will know that this fire ban has something to do with her.

"Sir, am I being selfish?"

Zhu Jiangjiang laughed at himself, "At this time, I still wonder if my reputation will be damaged if the fire does not burn. This idea is really selfish."

Hearing this, Pei Ji turned around to face her, even if the lamp was not lit, he could see her expression clearly at the moment.

"You have too high demands on yourself, so the pressure will be great." What she said about herself just now was entirely caused by excessive psychological pressure.

"Miss, can you try to rely on me, start with this incident, learn to rely on me, don't carry it alone, okay?"

He really, has been slowly trying to understand her.

It was precisely because Zhu Jiangjiang felt his efforts that he couldn't help crying because of his words.

"Alas..." Pei Ji sighed shallowly, and held her in his arms, "If you want to cry, you can only cry in the arms of your husband, otherwise what would I do."

It's okay to let her cry.

Ever since she brought up the burning of the mountain, she hasn't relaxed. It might not be a bad thing to let her cry.

Zhu Jiangjiang leaned in his arms to vent his emotions presumptuously.

He was only wearing an underwear that was convenient for sleeping. The front of the clothes was wet from her crying, and the back was wet from his hair.

She touched his soaked clothes, stopped crying, and unbuttoned the skirt for him sobbing, "You'd better go and change, it's not comfortable to have wet clothes sticking to your body."

Zhu Jiangjiang's original intention was to make him dress more comfortably, but Pei Ji misunderstood him.

When she unbuttoned the first placket of his shirt, he picked her up, turned around and went back to the room.

"Take it off, don't waste it."

waste?

waste what? !

Can this also be described as waste?

He just wanted it, and he pretended to be so grand, hmph!

……

It took only two days for the abbot and master of Yulin Temple to convey the "heavenly secret" at the gate of the yamen. Not only the people in Jiangnan Town knew about it, but even people in several nearby towns knew about it.

Only then did everyone understand why General Pei issued a fire ban two days ago, it was for everyone's benefit.

But where is the fire?

Everyone in the town knows that there will be a big fire on a certain day and in a certain place in the next half month, but they don't know the exact day and where the fire will start.

Therefore, this issue has become the most concerned issue of the people in the town at the moment.

Whether it is the people in the city or the people in the country, every household is ready to put out the fire, and they have reinforced the basins, buckets, and even the brooms.

In order to be able to put out the fire at any time.

But as time passed day by day, seeing that the half-month prophecy was coming, Jiangnan Town was still peaceful and safe.

Because of the fire ban, the entire Jiangnan town couldn't even see a flame, let alone a big fire burning the mountain.

As a result, some people began to question this so-called "secret".

Under the mountain of Yulin Temple, a group of people gathered to make trouble for unknown reasons.

Maybe it was because they were dissatisfied with the fire ban, or maybe it was because they had been worrying in vain for half a month and delayed a lot of things, so they were anxious and wanted to find an outlet to vent their anger.

General Pei, who issued the fire ban, can't afford to provoke them. Are they afraid that Yulin Temple, which only has eight or nine people, will fail?

"Go, go up the mountain and ask that old bald donkey for an explanation!"

"That's right, thanks to the fact that I went up the mountain to burn incense before, now it seems that it's all a lie!"

"If you don't let me light the fire, I won't be able to fertilize. If my crops don't grow well this year, I'll have to tear down that Yulin Temple!"

The people gathered at the foot of the mountain kept talking, cursing and climbing up the mountain.

Wuci's task was to inform the people of the town about the fire, and he returned to the temple the next day after the news spread throughout the town.

At this moment, he was chanting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha with other young masters in the Buddhist hall, and he still didn't know anything about the people who came down from the mountain to make trouble.

It wasn't until the younger brother who was sweeping the floor at the gate of the temple stumbled into the Buddhist hall and shouted that it was too bad, the masters in the Buddhist hall knew that someone was making trouble.

Wu Ci hurriedly got up, and when he was about to go out, the people down the mountain had already rushed into the Buddhist hall.

"Old bald donkey, you are playing tricks, right?"

Playing tricks?

Wu Ci didn't understand, "Amitabha, I don't know what the benefactor means?"

"I don't know?" The other person snorted coldly, and then cursed: "You said that there will be a big fire burning the mountain within half a month, and the result? It won't even burn a fart!"

"That's right, your nonsense words caused a fire ban in the whole city, and my store was out of business for half a month. Do you think it was you!" said a well-dressed man.

He is the shopkeeper of a restaurant in the city, and because of the fire ban in the whole city, he can't do business properly.

How much business did he lose by not being able to receive guests for dinner at night?

All these, he will count on Yulin Temple's head!

"This benefactor, you can't say that. You have no business in the shop. What does it have to do with our abbot master?" A young monk defended his master.

But the visitor was angry, and he was even more angry after climbing such a high mountain.

A man who was too angry, waved his hand, and a group of people rushed forward, punching and kicking the masters of Yulin Temple without saying a word, venting their anger in their hearts.

"You still dare to quibble? Big guy, give me all, and smash this poor Buddhist temple!"
