The last feng shui master

Chapter 215 The Sleeping Snail

When I came back, I thought of Gu Rechang's pill furnace. He used it to refine ghosts, raise ghosts and make alchemy. It must be a treasure. Who would be the one who wanted to buy the pill furnace from Zhenyangzi?
It seems that insect art seems to have a lot of secrets.

Forget it, I'd better go back and raise the snail I brought back. In the future, the chief insect master will fight and throw a snail. Of course, I think there may be another situation where someone will laugh to death.

Ji Ruyue and Gu Xiulian were accompanied by centipedes with amazing names, one was called Colorful Centipede, and the other was called Little Ghost Centipede.

Chong Laowu threw a jumping green snake, turning Wu Zhen's head into a watermelon.

What skills snails can have, it seems that they need to be researched and developed.

When I got home, I poured the snail out of the bamboo tube, just under the sun, and the snail stuck out its head.Mother looked over with a smile, Xiao Qi, didn't you raise a dog and a cat?Why is there another snail now?

Xie Xiaoyu, who was hiding under the eaves, straightened her legs, stretched her waist, looked at the little snail, and seemed to laugh too.

I sighed: "Little snail, what skills do you have, I can develop them. Shall I feed you some pesticides such as poison rat dichlorvos to enhance your resistance to poison, and then find you a rabbit as a wife, See if you can give birth to a peerless bug."

Lian Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Master Xiao, that's a snail, a rabbit is so big, how can you have a baby, aren't you funny?"

I shrugged my shoulders: "You don't know, the snail's lifelong wish is to catch up with the rabbit."

Yi Miao interjected, "Isn't it the wish of the tortoise? The wish of the tortoise is to catch up with the rabbit. Why did it become a snail? Isn't the wish of the snail to climb the roof? I want to climb up step by step..."

Yi Miao said that at the end, she sang two lines of Jay Chou's song, and finally got out of tune, everyone burst into laughter.I took out the jade ruler and put it on the snail's back. Under the sun, there was a faint light.

The jade ruler is a very spiritual thing. When I saw the light, I was overjoyed. It seems that the snail is not simple, otherwise the jade ruler would not emit light, it would only be very weak.I tried to communicate with the snail. The snail listened to the call, stretched out its head, and walked around twice. I calculated that it would take a long time for the snail to go to Beijing from now on.

I slapped my head, isn't that obvious?Do you still have to count?

The snail showed me face, stuck out its head, and then took it back.

I pack it up.Let it sleep for a while, maybe there is still a long way to go in the future.

New Year's Eve is finally here.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready.

Mother prepared the candies and apples and put them on the table, waiting for the children in the village to say goodbye to the New Year in the afternoon. At this time, everyone gave some candies.

My father was in charge of killing chickens and ducks, and bought them all. There was also a carp ready for the ancestors to eat.It used to be eaten by three people, but now there are a lot of mouths.Mother and father got busy, there were a few vegetables, chicken, duck and fish had to be prepared, and then there were sauced knuckles to be delicious, as well as good white wine.

Busy until three o'clock in the afternoon.My father prepared a bamboo basket, put the carp on it, put two pieces of meat on it, put two bowls of rice on it, and prepared the incense and good oil candles, which meant the continuation of the incense. When there is a big firework, go to the ancestral hall in the village.Many people have already started to worship, and the sound of firecrackers kept going. I carried the fireworks outside and set them up. They flew into the sky with a thud, and the colored paper fell down.

The incense and oil candles were lit, and then inserted into the incense burner.

I looked at the ancestral tablets on the shrines. They were many big and small, and many of them had a history of hundreds or even hundreds of years. I heard that it was recorded on the genealogy that our lineage is from Xiao He who assisted Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, to overthrow the rule of the Tyrant Qin. Later generations, it has been passed down for many years.

I looked at the shrine, and my ancestors were also chattering, talking about whether we should have some entertainment tonight, or go to someone’s house to watch the Spring Festival Gala. One ancestor said, if there is no Zhao Benshan performing sketches, there is nothing to watch head.

The other objected, as if he heard that Jay Chou was going to sing on stage, I like the performance of this singer whose words are unclear and no one can understand his singing, it must be great for him to be on the Spring Festival Gala this year.

Of course, it's best for everyone to agree to have a good meal, and then see where to go for entertainment after eating. It's not good to be like a child at an age.

Afraid of being discovered by them, I hurriedly bowed and murmured, wishing me to win the 500 million lottery as soon as possible, surrounded by a group of beauties, and finally wishing my family good health, peace and joy.

During this process, many uncles and brothers came, and my father and them congratulated each other one by one, hoping that all wishes will come true in the coming year, and Gong Xi Fa Cai.The sound of firecrackers was still loud, and fireworks went up in the square in front of the ancestral hall, but there were only noises, and the gorgeous fireworks could not be seen during the day, disappearing into the sky.I have seen a young literary girl say, "I am lonelier than fireworks." To be honest, I really can't figure out why fireworks are so lonely.

When it is opened, it is so gorgeous that I can't feel the loneliness at all.Hey, who can tell me what is going on in the head of a young literary girl?
When I came out of the gate of the ancestral hall, I looked back at the altar, and suddenly found an old man whose eyes met mine, and seemed to pause for two seconds.

The old man's eyes seemed to have changed a little strangely.

My heart skipped a beat, it's over, he knew I saw him.

When I came out of the ancestral hall, I checked the time, and it happened to be [-]:[-] in the afternoon. It was still early in the evening, but the New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten early.When I got home, I closed the yard door and the living room door, and started to eat the New Year's Eve dinner after setting up the dishes.There are many more people this year, Yi Miaolian Xiaoyao, Xie Lingyu, He Qingling and Xiaojian, all sitting at a table.

Xie Xiaoyu doesn't eat, but likes to drink, and has already prepared wine.The dinner table started, and the father toasted his mother with a glass of wine, saying that he had been busy all year round.The mother laughed, and toasted the father again, saying that you are the head of the family, and you have worked hard to worry about it.

I toasted alone, to my father and mother. At the end of the drink, I shed tears without knowing it. I didn't know what I did all year round, and I wasted a year.The parents laughed and said, just be healthy, be safe and happy.

Yi Miao and Lian Xiaoyao toasted their parents together.My mother seldom drank alcohol, but she drank two glasses this time.

Seeing that Xiaojian was also happy, I poured him a glass. The kitten in the distance seemed to have difficulty blending into this atmosphere.

It has all kinds of secrets on it, so it is difficult to integrate into it, or in other words, the nature of the cat determines that it is not very social.

We started eating at four o'clock, and by the time it was past five o'clock or six o'clock, we were basically done eating. We ate some of the food on the table, and finally my mother asked everyone to eat a bowl of rice. I will be hungry at night.

After eating, according to the custom, give out lucky money.

Father and mother had already prepared a red envelope for each of Yi Miao and Lian Xiaoyao.The two smiled embarrassedly, I have this too?The mother smiled and said that the elders gave the younger generation a kindness. Besides, you are not married yet, and you will be gone when you are married.Yi Miao said with a smile, it seems that I should get married later.Lian Xiaoyao stepped on it.

Xie Xiaoyu also got a red envelope.

I prepared two thick red envelopes for my father and mother, telling them what they want to buy in the future, don't be reluctant.Father and mother did not refuse to take over.

Mother’s final speech at the end of the year, Xiao Qi, you are not too old, I have no other wish, that is, you can get married as soon as possible, and our old couple can help you take care of the children.

I played sloppy and said that I took this matter to heart, and I will definitely work harder in the spring.After tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, the courtyard door was opened, the brazier was lit with a prosperous charcoal fire, the table was cleared away, and the candy was placed on the table, with the prepared apples beside it.When it gets dark, children will carry their schoolbags and go door to door to bid farewell to their elders.

Of course, in return, you will get sugar, pancakes, and apples from every household.

My favorite thing to do when I was a child was to do this. Half a month ago, I asked my mother to help me wash the shoulder bag and put it in the sun to dry it. According to their respective order, they hurriedly shouted from door to door: "Farewell to the New Year."

The lovely uncles, aunts, grandparents, brothers and sisters were caught with a handful of candies. I reached out to catch them, and put them in my shoulder bag, and then ran to the next house. The memories of this are all the taste of candies.

sweet.

After I grew up, I asked a lot of people, and it seems that only our area has this custom, and I think it is a good inheritance.First, it solves the children's appetite; second, it also makes the children understand gratitude and politeness; third, the emotions of the people in the village will be deeper.

Only later, the economic conditions gradually improved.You can buy a variety of candy at home, and gradually children go out to ask for candy from their elders.

As time goes by, many things will disappear.

When it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, only a few children came to ask for candies.Mother wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Next year, we won't have to prepare so many candies."

Of course, my mother was not idle. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, she usually made dumplings and made dumplings. This work was done by girls, and my mother never let us intervene.It's really a lot of work to get all the flour and spoons.

My father drank a lot of wine, held a Fuguang cup, made a pot of tea, turned on the TV, and locked on the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV. The host was explaining the customs of various places, and he was dressed in joyful clothes.

I put away the candy, and the sound of mahjong was already coming from the next door. Every family played mahjong and the landlord in the [-]th night.My mother can play mahjong, and said that when the dumplings are finished, everyone will start playing mahjong.Including me, Yi Miao and Lian Xiaoyao, there are four people in total, exactly four people, neither more nor less.

Xie Xiaoyu, a silly girl, drank a lot and seemed a little sleepy, so she went to bed early.I was afraid that her quilt was not covered properly, so when I went to see her, I saw her lying on the window, looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

It seems that I want to say something, but I can't say it, it seems that I am thinking about the future, and I am afraid of the current difficulties.

There are tears in the corner of her eyes for some reason?
I smiled and looked at her, with a flushed face, feeling a little heartache for some reason.Looking at her, I was thinking, what is Xie Lingyu, who is drifting on the Styx River, doing now?
If New Year’s Eve is celebrated in Yangjian, the underground will also celebrate New Year’s Eve. I don’t know if they have any activities, will they be like us, organize a gala, or find some actors to perform sketches.
