Sikong Yi walked out, and Bai Rui and Li Ta were left in the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After they waited quietly for a while, Bai Rui broke the quiet atmosphere with a voice: "Gonggong Li came to look for me, is there anything wrong?" I guess I didn't come to drink wine and ask my eldest brother for medicine to cure the cold. ”

"Actually, there's nothing I want to say." Lita reached for the wine, but remembering what Barry had just said, he fell silent and withdrew his hand.

"Oh. Let's gossip, then. Bai Rui smiled and unceremoniously opened the conversation.

"Do you know about Dawan's water festival? Dawanke is a country that lives by the sea, and they have a deeper worship for the water than anywhere else. Their water festival generally lasts for three to seven days, with the first day being called "Wheat Day" similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve; The second day is called the "annoyed day" (empty day); The third day is called "Horn Net Ma", which is actually to keep the New Year. People regard this day as the most beautiful and auspicious day. In the early morning of the festival, the men, women and children of Dawan put on festive costumes, carried water to bathe in front of the Buddha statue, and then splashed water on each other, wishing each other auspiciousness, happiness and health. People danced and shouted, "Water! Water! Water! "The sound of the ancient gong resounded in the sky, the blessed water splashed everywhere, on this day, whoever has the most water on his body will be happier and more happy this year! Every water festival, the people of Dawan go to the mountain to collect some flowers and leaves, to the day of the festival, the men and women of the Dai nationality go to the Buddhist temple to bathe the Buddha, take the collected flowers and leaves to dip in water, and begin to splash water on each other. Bai Rui first gave a brief introduction to Dawan's water festival, took a sip of water, and began to baba again.

"When I first arrived in Dawan, I didn't know anything. There was no one to tell me what to pay attention to, and I knew one, splashing water. But ah, I don't know if it's for people to splash water or not......" Bai Ruibalabala said about his own affairs in Dawan.

Li Ta kept listening, and he didn't think about why, Sikong Hou Ye is also such a sincere person, and Sikong Yi, who just walked out, is really worthy of being a brother, the same stupid, not an ordinary stupid.

I really don't know, three years ago, Bai Rui, who refused Emperor Chu's marriage in public, was not stupid at that time, and then, with a stupid spirit, he refused Emperor Chu's marriage.

After all, he is a human spirit mixed up in the crowd, and in the face of such a stupid big man, he will let Bai Rui speak, depending on when Bai Rui can speak.

"Because I have been in Dawan for the past three years, I am familiar with some folk customs in Dawan. The people of Dawan will go to the fields on Chinese New Year's Eve to worship the land gods in order to hope for a good harvest in the coming year. Harvest new rice, new rice first sacrifice to ancestors, sacrifice to the god of the stove. ”

“...... On the evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the villagers went to the edge of the field with torches and brooms to burn thatch, which was called "welcoming the gods and repelling insects". The first in the village to pull seedlings and farm fields (commonly known as open seedlings gate) avoid "ground fire day" to prevent the ground fire from burning to death. When sowing, it is forbidden to hand over the seedlings, thinking that the hand-mailing of the seedlings is easy to have palm wind. It is considered unlucky for women to cross farm implements. Women have to take a detour when they encounter farm tools left on the road. When there is no rain for a long time, the farmers gather to ask the dragon god for rain. In case of insect plague, welcome the gods and repel insects; There are also broken brooms inserted upside down in the field, which means 'please broom god drive'...... However, there are not many people who farm in Dawan, this habit. It's slowly gone.

"Most of the rural areas of Dawan live together, and the villages are in the shade of the sun, and the houses have mud and wood structures, brick and wood structures, stone and wood structures, etc. Most of them sit in the north and face south, sit in the west and face the east, sit in the north and face the south and say that "facing the south to enjoy the blessings", but avoid facing the south, thinking that the south and the Antarctic star are in opposition, and only the nunnery, temple, and ancestral hall are facing due south. Bungalows, buildings are mostly three in one or three rooms with two bedrooms, there are windows in front and back of the building called "double opening", and only the front has called "Dou Lou". ”

"Some of the halls have no floor slabs for both red and white affairs. The rich have a deep house compound with a patio. Most of the coastal sandy land is a straw house, usually two rooms and one drape, commonly known as "rice barrel house". In the old days, there were many taboos in building a house, so please ask Mr. Feng Shui to orient and start construction on a certain day. The right side of the new house should not be higher or protrude from the neighbor's old house, called "the left green dragon, the right white tiger", otherwise the people on the left will be ruined. ”

"When you go up the beam, you should wear red to ward off evil. Hang a sack on the beam after the beam, put a live rooster and scales, Dougu wheat and other evil things and sacrifices inside, paste the horizontal link on the beam, and write "Ziwei Gaozhao" and so on. Throwing on the beam steamed buns, the first pair of steamed buns are caught by the elders of the head of the household with a sheet. In the evening, the Liang wine was held to celebrate. I thought that "the green dragon is afraid of moxibustion, and the white tiger is afraid of smell", so the stove room is built on the right. ”

Bai Rui said a lot of things, and he didn't mean to stop at all, and drank several glasses of water.

However, Bai Rui didn't play like this, there was no saliva splashing at all, but a bookish spirit that pointed out the country.

It's really comfortable to look at such a person and listen to such a person say such a thing.

However, Li Ta was uncomfortable, he was really uncomfortable. His usual trick is to give others a dismount first, so that others will be quiet and obedient.

That's what he thought at first, so after Sikong Yi left, he didn't take the initiative to speak, just waited before he couldn't stand it and spoke first.

Then, he really waited for Bai Rui to speak first, but he didn't expect that Bai Rui had been open for so long.

If Bai Rui was speaking quietly, he could not listen. However, Bai Rui always asked him halfway through the conversation, "Gonggong Li, what do you think of what Ben Hou just said?" ”

It would not be good for Li Ta not to answer such a question, so he could only answer patiently, and then listen carefully to what Bai Rui said.

Moreover, he was in a hurry, really in a hurry.

He came out this time at the behest of Emperor Chu. Emperor Chu was still waiting for his reply in the palace, and he was here, and he couldn't say a word with Bai Rui. And seeing that the time to return to the palace and resume his life was approaching, he hadn't followed Bai Rui to get down to business.

"That, Marquis Sikong......" Li Ta spoke.

“..... What the? Barry stopped talking and asked Rita.

"The Marquis of Sikong has been out for many years and has a wide range of knowledge. It's a good talent...... "Lita finally found his tongue.

"There, Grandpa Li praised it too early, I'll tell you about what I saw outside."

Bai Rui smiled, poured a glass of water, drank it all, and then opened up to talk again.

"Wait!" Li Ta hurriedly spoke out to stop Bai Rui, he was afraid that Bai Rui would talk about it for a few more hours.

This brother is too sincere and too sincere. (To be continued.) )
