Chapter 692

"Xiaolian, what is the divine thunder and fireworks? Have you seen it in Xianyang?" Seeing that his son, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law ran away, Chen Hu looked at Chen Jiang in confusion.

"Brother Hu, I don't know what the divine thunder fireworks are. I heard that they were made by Xu'er. After dark, they were set on the sky and exploded. There was a sound of thunder and colorful sparks, which were particularly beautiful!" Chen Jiang explained.

"Then let's stop eating, go and have a look first!" Chen Hu put down the bowls and chopsticks, Chen Jiang and Han Tian also stood up and went out with them. The group of little maids were immediately relieved and followed happily.

Sure enough, the yard was full of people at this time, including more than 200 men, women, young and old in the village, and the bustling people were talking excitedly.

The people in the village may know some rumors about the divine thunder fireworks, which were all heard from Qinghe Town. The helpers and guards at Chen Xu's mansion were already familiar with the people in the village, so many people danced and started to tell these country bumpkins about how the divine thunder fireworks were beautiful, just like magic spells of gods.

Therefore, the more many people say this, the more the villagers can't help it. The two iron tubes that set off fireworks are surrounded by dense layers, but they are full of doubts. These are the two iron pipes, which can release colorful divine thunder fireworks?

Chen Xu and Niu Dashi brought several servants from the laboratory to move the prepared fireworks, gunpowder, leads and more than ten fountain fireworks into the yard.

"Brother, is this a fireworks?" Han Xin squeezed over, looked at the paper tube made in the vine basket a few days ago, and picked up one and prepared to take a closer look.

"Don't shake, it will break if it shakes!" Chen Xu said quickly.

Han Xin was so hot that he immediately put it back into the vine basket carefully.

"Everyone is getting out of the way and can't see it!" Chen Xu waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat two feet away. At this time, the sky became darker, but it could still be seen clearly.

Next, Chen Xu made a trumpet with a newspaper and placed it on the iron tube. Then he inserted a half-foot-long lead into the hole below, then installed half a pound of gunpowder, stabbed it with a wooden pestle and carefully put a fireworks in it.

Soon, the fireworks of the two gun barrels were installed. Chen Xu looked at it and felt that it was not dark enough, so he asked the crowd to retreat five or six feet away again and placed a fountain firework ten meters away from the gun barrel.

"It's still early, I'll set off a few small fireworks for you first!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he ordered a servant to go back to his room to get a piece of burning wooden stick, and put it in front of a fountain firework to ignite the lead.

Looking at the leads of burning sparks, everyone looked at them without blinking, fearing that they had missed something.

"This fountain fireworks are really beautiful!"

"Yes, yes, this Mars is indeed like a star!"

"It's good to look good, it's too small..."

Just as a group of villagers were talking, the leads of the fireworks quickly burned in.

"That's over..."

Just as many people were talking to each other in a low voice with confusion, suddenly the top of the paper tube lit up, and a colorful fireworks that looked like a fountain sprayed out, splashing out more than one meter high. In the thick blue smoke, the beautiful fireworks instantly illuminated the entire yard, reflecting the stunned faces of hundreds of people.

"Wow, so beautiful!" A group of children reacted instantly and began to cheer.

"So this is fireworks!" Many villagers and the guards of the Marquis' Mansion realized this time.

A fountain firework was more than a foot long, and it was set off in just half a minute. As the sparks of puffer and la la, they quickly went out. The yard returned to darkness again, leaving only a stream of choking smoke after burning spread in the air.

"How is it? It looks good!" Chen Xu was a little proud.

"It's good to look good, but the time is too short!" Uncle Ma, who had a dull face, came back to his senses and said regretfully.

"There are some more. Who is the bravest of you to set it off by yourself!" Chen Xu said, pointing to the more than ten fireworks left in the vine basket.

"Brother, I'll do it!" Han Xin couldn't wait to jump out first.

Chen Xu instructed Han Xin to take out one, put the lead on the ground with one end facing upwards, and then lit it with a wooden stick.

"Don't get too close after ignition, be careful to burn your clothes!" Looking at Han Xin who was still standing next to the fireworks after ignition, Chen Xu quickly pulled him away a few meters away.

Soon the fireworks began to spray out colorful and beautiful fireworks, and the crowd became even more excited.

"Xiaoxu, let's put one too!" After the fireworks were sprayed, Erzhuang and Simao two young men couldn't help but squeeze out from the crowd and yelled.

With Erzhuang and Simao taking the lead, a group of half-aged children and young people rushed up, and even Uncle Ma couldn't help but try it out himself.

As the noise was clamoring, more than ten fireworks were quickly distributed, and a group of people were set off one after another. Some people couldn't wait to go to the room to get a burning wooden stick, and put it directly under the eaves to prepare to light it. Fortunately, Chen Xu discovered it early, otherwise it would be possible to ignite the house.

With more than ten minutes passed, all the more than ten fireworks that were finally made were set off.

"Is this gone?" Many people looked at Chen Xu with unsatisfactory hope that Chen Xu could bring out 180 more to enjoy it.

Chen Xu twitched and said, "No more, this one will cost at least a few dozen yuan. Let's play with it next time?"

"What? So expensive?"

"Didn't we just burned a few hundred dollars?"

Many villagers looked at each other, and many people began to frown with heartache.

"It's good to look good, it's too expensive!" A villager threw the extinguished wooden stick on the ground and said regretfully.

"It's a little more expensive. From now on, I'll put a few fun during the holidays. Now everyone is hiding under the roof, and I'm going to start to release the divine thunder and fireworks!"

Chen Xu smiled and asked everyone to scatter, and asked Niu Dashi and Han Xin to light the lead of the cannon barrel with wooden sticks again, and then pulled the two of them to hide quickly under the eaves more than ten feet away.

"Boom~Boom~" After a full minute, the lead was burning. In everyone's eyes, two strong flames spewed out of the cannon barrel more than one meter high, and two fireworks roared into the dark night sky.

"Bang~Bang~" The dark night sky suddenly shone, and two colorful fire lights exploded dozens of feet high, trembling people's eardrums were buzzing.

The brilliant fireworks spread out dozens of meters in a circle, like two beautiful colorful flowers blooming on the dark sky.

"Wow, it looks so beautiful!"

Not only all the villagers have never seen such an extremely beautiful scenery, but even the guards and servants of the Hou Mansion who had seen it once in Xianyang were all watching the fireworks slowly extinguish and dissipate with blurred eyes.

Chen Xu held Ying Shiman and Meng Wan's hands, and the three of them snuggled together.

"It's so beautiful. If it weren't for my husband, we wouldn't have seen such beautiful fireworks in our lives!" Ying Shiman's charming face showed infinite attachment.

"Husband, are there any more?" Meng Wan shook Chen Xu's arm gently a few times.

"Brother Xu, do you want to put a few more? It looks so good!" Niu Dashi waved the wooden stick in his hand excitedly and shouted.

"Yes, Xiaoxu, just two are not enough, just add a few more!" Many villagers began to yell.

"What are you shouting? A small firework costs dozens of dollars, and this big one costs no more than a few hundred dollars, it's all gone!" Although Uncle Ma was still unsatisfied, he felt very distressed. Even Chen Hu couldn't help but prepare to stand up, but was grabbed by Chen Jiangshi. "Brother Hu, let Xu'er make the decision by himself. Our family is not short of money now!"

Chen Hu thought for a while and said nothing.

This time he came back, he found that everything had changed.

Home is no longer the original home, and people seem to be no longer the original home. The entire Qinghe Town in Xiaohe Village has become completely unfamiliar, completely different from him.

The miserable life of the past without filling the eclipse and unclothed the body cannot be seen here. There is only a peaceful life of full clothing that he had never thought of. The villagers who were pale and thin in the past are no longer the same as they remember, and even their wife became more beautiful and gentle. After spending half a month together, the delicious meals that could not be eaten or drunk at home, and the merry and slaves in and out of the carriage, horses and slaves, made him feel as if he was living in a dream, which was very unreal.

But all this happened to me.

Especially for his own son, Chen Xu's changes made him feel even more unfamiliar.

Although the family affection that is thicker than water has not changed, the son's words and deeds, his seemingly indifferent personality, his momentum in front of others, his various extraordinary actions, and the unlimited worship of him by villagers and the villagers of Qinghe Town, it can be seen that this son has become almost like a monster, making him feel extremely strange.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, then let's put two more. In two days, we will go to Qinghe Town to watch the fireworks, and there are more crowds there!" Chen Xu stopped Uncle Ma from planning to drive all the villagers back to bed.

At this time, it was completely dark and it was out of sight. Chen Xu asked the maid to use a lantern to shine it, cleaned the cannon barrel and loaded two fireworks himself again.

A few minutes later, two beautiful fireworks bloomed in the night sky. The roaring sounds and colorful colors made everyone fall into a brief intoxication again.
