The bright moon is in the sky.
In the courtyard of Sanxi Village, under a simple pergola, a group of little newsboys were gathered around. The youngest ones are on the inside, and the older ones are squatting on the outside.
Chen Luo sat in the middle, smiling and relying on his memory to recall "Calabash Baby" he had watched countless times in his childhood.
"That Qi Wa raised his accompanying treasure gourd and sucked all six of his brothers in... The snake spirit erected a pill furnace. When he said that he wanted to refine the Seven Star Pill, Qi Wa happily clapped his hands and laughed. .”
At this point in the story, a bunch of little boys clenched their fists, and the little girls also had tears in their eyes.
The seven small gourds above the head shook. Although the first six small gourds had no noses or eyes, you could feel that they were all glaring at the seventh small purple gourd.
"Lao Qi, how could you do this?"
"Xiao Qi, I usually love you for nothing!"
"Ah Qi, don't come over here to hide from the sun in the future!"
The little purple gourd almost cried in grievance; "It's not me, I don't have it, don't talk about me!"
Chen Luo looked at everyone's reactions with a smile, paused deliberately, and continued: "The snake demon turned his eyes and looked at Qi Wa."
"Good boy, show your baby to mommy."
"Qi Wa handed over his treasure gourd to the snake spirit without suspecting that it was a fraud. Unexpectedly, the snake spirit turned his back and took Qi Wa into the treasure gourd and threw it into the alchemy furnace..."
"I saw the blazing fire, and the screams of seven gourd babies were vaguely heard in the alchemy furnace. The grandfather on the side was heartbroken, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of the little demon."
The seven little gourds who were bickering just now fell silent instantly and listened carefully to the story behind them.
"At this time, the Seven-Star Pill that was supposed to be refined never moved. The flames in the pill furnace kept flashing with colorful lights, but they could not appear at the same time. The snake demon looked confused and didn't know what went wrong."
"Grandpa had an idea in his mind and said, Snake demon, you used internal strife to separate the seven gourd babies. How can the seven stars be reunited? Let me go, I have a way!"
"The snake demon knew that the old man was just an ordinary mortal, and expected that he could not use any tricks, so he waved his hand and asked the little demon to let go of the old man. The old man dug through his arms and dug out the gourd seeds he brought back when he found them. 's accompanying rosette"
"The rosette that had nothing special about it suddenly burst out with colorful brilliance, and the old man said, 'Heart to heart, connected to one heart'. Seven lotus hearts appeared in the originally empty hole in the colorful rosette."
"The snake spirit shouted: 'No, I've been fooled!'"
"The old man threw the lotus seat high, and the seven lotus hearts in the lotus seat fell into the alchemy furnace. Instantly, seven-color energy rose into the sky, a thunderbolt exploded in the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy furnace exploded."
"At this time, the heavenly path resonated, and a pleasant singing sound came."
"Calabash baby, Calabash baby, seven flowers on a vine; not afraid of wind or rain, la la la la... jingle-dong-dong-dong-dang, calabash kid, jingle-dong-dong-dang-dang, great ability, la la la la... …”
"At this time, I saw red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple beams of light flying out, like a rainbow, and landing on the accompanying rosette. The seven gourd dolls were like mountains built up, gradually revealing their figures in the seven-color light!"
"The big baby steps on the ground and lifts up to the sky; the second baby's eyes break through the snake demon's confusion; the third baby breaks into the demon formation alone and kills the leader of the centipede; the fourth baby breathes fire and spits out thunderbolts; the fifth baby pours out a river. Water, water floods the monster's house; Liuwa's invisible figure interferes with the snake monster's escape!"
"At this time, the snake demon raised Qi Wa's treasure gourd again, and the gourd brothers were shocked. At this time, grandpa suddenly threw down the snake demon, and the treasure gourd was released from the snake demon's hand. Qi Wa jumped up high and used his own treasure gourd. "
"The scorpion spirit was angry, took out the dagger, and stabbed Grandpa from behind..."
"Grandpa fell in a pool of blood!"
"The seven gourd babies were almost crazy. They threw themselves at the snake demon and the scorpion spirit desperately, and finally destroyed the two demons. But although the two demons died, the demon spirit will not be extinguished. The seven gourd babies turned into colorful mountains and fell from the sky. , Yongzhen’s evil spirit!”
Chen Luo let out a breath, and Brother Calabash finally finished explaining the first step.
He felt it for a while, probably consuming his ordinary mortal energy. The power of luck is twice that of "Du Shiniang"...
Still acceptable!
Chen Luo looked at a group of children who were listening dumbly, then looked up at the seven motionless little gourds, and said with a smile, "Do you know what this story tells us?"
"Snake spirits are bad guys!" Some children raised their hands and said.
"No, only by working together can we defeat the bad guys!" said an older child.
Chen Luo shook his head slightly and looked at the seven small gourds: "This story tells us that when fighting, we must form a team, and don't die one by one! Do you understand?"
The seven little gourds still had no reaction. Chen Luo felt something was wrong.
"Hey, you seven, are you okay?"
Chen Luo asked.
All was quiet.
Damn it, there must be something wrong.
Chen Luo stood up nervously and reached out to touch the nearest Xiao Qi - Zi Gourd.
"What happen to you guys?"
Purple Hulu: "Waiting for the singing!"
"Without singing, we wouldn't be able to transform."
"That's right, we need to arrange a meeting!"
"Sing it quickly, I can't hold it in anymore!"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and winked at the children.
The children's eyes lit up and they immediately started singing: "Calabash baby, Calabash baby, seven flowers on a vine..."
The song sounded, and instantly each of the seven small gourds shined brightly.
"I `m coming out……"
The farthest red gourd suddenly split open, a red light flashed, and a small shadow fell on the ground. It grew in the wind and instantly became the size of a five or six-year-old child.
At the same time, the second, third, fourth... until the seventh, the little gourds split open one by one, and a small person jumped out of each one, growing into a figure of five or six years old.
Chen Luo's eyes nearly popped out when he looked at the seven little people in front of him.
All of them look handsome, no doubt, and all of them are dolls. Each of them has a small monochrome gourd on his head, and his body is also in the shape of a gourd leaf.
They are all how they describe Calabash Baby.
The issue is--
Why are they all——
Girls!
Gourd girl?
The seven little loli gourd babies looked around, and finally looked at Chen Luo together.
Chen Luo suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the seven little gourd girls opened their mouths together and shouted at Chen Luo——
"grandfather!"
…
Zhongjingcheng.
The door of the Zongren Mansion opened wide, and a young man in his twenties, wearing a yellow robe, walked out. The official of the clan who sent him out followed him and saluted.
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince turned around and glanced at the long corridor of the Zongren Mansion. With a smile on his lips, he leaned into the ear of the official and whispered: "I have remembered your teacher's teachings. I am in the East Palace, looking forward to your teacher." Come."
The official's expression did not change and he said: "Prince, be patient, it still takes time."
The prince nodded slightly, said no more, and walked out of the clan's mansion. At this time, Da Changqiu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly ran up to meet him and handed him his cloak and robe.
"Prince, you have finally come out. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace..."
The prince's face was full of longing, he took the cloak and said with a smile: "It's been a long time of hard work. During the days when I made a mistake and was grounded, were my father and mother okay? Is there anything new in Zhongjing City? You have to talk to me on the way."
As the prince spoke, he stepped onto the dragon horse carriage that came to pick him up...
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
Chengyu opened the door and saw a chubby young man lying on the ground, flipping through an account book in his hand.
"That's not right. How come this month's profit is 3,312.26 cents more? Where is the excess?"
Chengyu had become accustomed to the other person's appearance and stepped forward: "Little prince, the prince is out."
"Just come out! If he dares to mess with me, I will send him in again."
After saying that, the other party continued to look at the account book in his hand, and suddenly seemed to find something.
"I know!" The young man raised his head excitedly and looked at Chengyu, "Aunt Yu, you said before that you had contact with Wan Anbo, right?"
Chengyu nodded.
"I want to see him!"
