Haiyan Heqing Four O’clock Days

  Chapter 25 [Hua Shao Chunsheng] The Qing Dynasty is bright, the sky is clear, and the sky is mourning for the deceased Xianfeixian [Qingming·Second]

  The rain fell and the shadow of depression,

  The eyebrows hobble with sorrow.

  The blue smoke is condensed in the depths of the pines and cypresses,

  Baitong Danxin is clear and bright.

——

  Early in the morning, when Kyushu wakes up, it will be in the clouds. Qingming handed Kyushu to Hanshi to take care of him, and he gathered the clouds, kneaded them into a ball, wrung out the water inside, and sprinkled them on the ground.

  The dark clouds in the sky are so dark that it is difficult to penetrate the clouds to see the scenery on the ground.

   Kyushu was stunned, obviously not waking up from his sleep. There is no dazzling sunlight, so that Kyushu can't tell whether it is day or night for a while.

  I also have to say that Hanshi is really not careful enough, even when Kyushu woke up, I didn't notice it, or perhaps the attention was paid to Qingming's body, which was a little neglected when Xiao Kyushu woke up.

  "Brother Hanshi..." Kyushu was about to speak, when he choked back with a thunderous sound, a huge fireball rolled towards the world.

   So this was so shocked that the child who had taken the cool breeze started to belch, "Hi... Hi..."

  Qingming turned around and gave Hanshi a blank look, "It's a big fairy, and a few thousand years old. Why can't you even take care of a child?"

  Hanshi didn't reply, he was at a loss there, listening to Kyushu's rhythmic belching, but didn't know what to do.

  "Hot this water to Kyushu to drink, it will be better." Qingming pulled a cloud of water, gathered into a water ball, and threw it towards the cold food.

  It’s strange to say that although the immortal Hanshi had the word “cold” in its birth name, it was very capable of making fires, and its own celestial power could heat something.

   After the water has heated up, feed it to Kyushu. The wind burps in Kyushu will soon heal, jumping around on the clouds.

  Looking at Kyushu full of vitality, Qingming and Hanshi led Kyushu to the ground.

  Qingming has produced a new dress for Kyushu. The color of this dress is mainly off-white. The upper body is three-quarter long sleeves and the lower body is a long skirt. There are two small swallows at the corners of the skirt. The long-sleeved shirt on the upper body has a white paulownia flower on the left part of the hem, and the red stamens are matched with the beige background color, which adds a slightly brighter touch to the clothes.

  Although this dress is simple and elegant, not particularly conspicuous, it matches this spring, especially the Qingming Festival.

  It was the same village as yesterday. The mountain forest behind the village is covered by pines and cypresses. Even in the air, you can see puffs of blue smoke rising from more than a dozen unevenly scattered places, almost touching the sky.

   "Sister Qingming, Sister Qingming, is there a fire? Let's go and fight the fire!" Kyushu was anxious when he saw this, "If there is a fire in the forest, it will be terrible, and there will be big trouble!"

  Meng Jiuzhou's worried look made Qingming couldn't help but sigh that Kyushu is really an innocent and pure child.

   "It's not on fire. People are worshiping ancestors. Isn't there such a custom in Kyushu?" Qingming grabbed Kyushu and explained.

   "Yes, but..." Kyushu thought for a while, and didn't know how to express the difference reasonably, "Well... But there are some differences in our place."

  Unable to think of a suitable vocabulary for a while, Kyushu could not help but feel a little anxious, Qingming rubbed Kyushu’s head, and gently said: "Kyushu take your time, what do you want to say?"

"Well... it's for us..." Kyushu suddenly thought of what her mother had told her, "Oh, mother said, in our place, because some people burn a lot of paper, they even compare each other with this superficial skill. To express filial piety, so that the air is full of dust at this time.

   "In order to protect the environment, so now I don’t want to go to the cemetery of the deceased family’s cemetery. Instead, I use the Internet to show my heart."

Qingming thought for a while and nodded, "This is a good way, but in fact, if you don’t order some papers, just a stick of fragrance and some offerings such as youth groups will not pollute the environment. ."

   Kyushu said, "Sister Qingming, I think so too! This way, we have respect for our ancestors and will not pollute the environment!"

   On the ground, Kyushu and the two gods saw the villagers coming and going to worship their ancestors. The villagers walked very slowly, unsmiling all the way to the mountains.

  Kyushu and Erxian also followed them up the mountain. Although there were no ancestors on this mountain, one person and two immortals were still full of reverence and did not bother to disturb them, so they reached the top of the mountain and saw a huge stone monument.
