"Hey, Die'er, aren't you taking a lunch break at home with Xiaolu? Why did you come in from outside with Xiaoyi, and you were still sweating profusely? Yingzi brought the teapot to Gu and asked curiously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a pot of black tea in the rural legend, which is a leaf from a tree, which can be stored for a long time after being picked and dried.

The water butterfly who was holding the teapot and pouring water heard it, and she didn't come over in one breath, she was choked, coughed violently, her face was flushed, and she didn't forget to look at the old envoy and ask for help.

The ancient smiled silently, and Shui Die'er secretly scolded the ancient in her heart for being a big fox and loving to see herself make a fool of herself.

"Sister Die'er just took us out to see our new home, and she came in with us, and it was too hot outside." Lin Yi is also not good at lying, and stumbles to speak for Die'er.

"Really?" Yingzi looked at Die'er, who was coughing non-stop, and temporarily put aside her doubts and helped her pat her on the back.

"It's going to be a sacrifice to the lotus god in the evening, is there anything you need my help with?" Ancient asked casually.

Die'er's heart was finally put back in her stomach, and the last time she beat her heart, the memory was too deep.

"No, no, I've taken the time to prepare all the relevant things with my grandmother in the past few days, that is, if you want to put a lotus lamp at night, let Shui Qing cut bamboo in the back and make a few later." Yingzi Road.

"Make a lotus lamp?" Gu and a few children were interested, saying that they wanted to go out and have a look, and even said that they would make one for each of them, and they would look better than anyone else.

Everyone followed Shui Qing to the bamboo forest behind, and curiously asked about the origin of the festival of sacrificing to the lotus god. Shui Die'er is also curious, she has been here for three years, but all her attention before was on Xiao Lu, and she didn't know much about what was happening around her. This is the first time I have participated in this event, and I am looking forward to it.

It is said that the name of the village here in Kuhe Town has been planted with lotus for generations, the village and the lotus are interdependent, and the people and the lotus are prosperous.

Legend has it that at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a year when the lotus planting season was the time, due to social turmoil and unrest, the villagers were forced to abandon the lotus and flee, and they took refuge in the Jiangjiazhai across the river.

Jiangjiazhai Mountain is high and deep, and the Xiongguan is dangerous. There is a "one husband is a pass, ten thousand people are not open", and the strong beam is besieged for several days, and it cannot be attacked for a long time. The lotus farmers hid in the mountains and forests, for several days, there was little food and clothing, weak and cold, men, women and children, poor and sick, mountain wind wailing, clouds and fog barriers.

Just when the lotus farmers are in danger, the mountains and forests suddenly waft a burst of exciting lotus fragrance, people are looking forward to it one by one: through the misty moonlight, the figures of six children can be vaguely distinguished, they carry lotus baskets on their shoulders, wear lotus leaf hats, tie lotus bags on their chests, hold lotus sticks, jump and jump, from far to near。。。。。。

At this moment, in the Heavenly Yao Pond, all the immortals gathered, the fairy music was melodious, the jade girl was swaying, the breeze was slow, and the fragrance was fragrant. The Queen Mother is feasting on the god of merit in protecting flowers. She suddenly had a whim, and the situation of the strong beam ruining the lotus pond appeared in front of her, and the mortal subjects were suffering an unprecedented calamity, so she issued a decree: The demon harms the loyal and good, and the mortal lotus suffers, who wants to go to the lower realm and add scenery to the lotus?

After speaking, the seven lotus prodigies responded to the decree and wished in unison, and the queen mother was gracious. So, the seven children took the lotus leaf wine and lotus cake brewed by the Queen Mother of the Lotus Pond to collect the aura of heaven and earth, and set the essence of the sun and the moon, to quench the hunger and thirst of the suffering lotus farmers. I saw seven children holding lotus sticks, surrounded by auspicious clouds, long rainbows running through the ground, surrounded by the glow of the whole Xixi Village, Qiang Liang looked away, and retreated without a fight.

The lotus farmers drank lotus leaf wine and ate lotus cakes, and suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated.

When the day dawned, the mountains cleared, and the water cleared, the lotus farmers returned to their farmhouses and devoted themselves to the busy process of rebuilding their homes and planting white lotus。。。。。。 However, at this moment, the season is fast, the matter is urgent, the manpower is short, and the lotus farmers are helpless. The seven children saw it in their eyes and moved in their hearts, sometimes running, sometimes jumping, pinching the mud with both hands and sprinkling it while pinching. Suddenly, the mud turned into a mud man, the mud man became a living person, and the lotus field was full of busy lotus planters. They leaped and leaped, and their hands were lotus. For a while, the lotus field is full of green lotus, lotus pavilions, pink, competing for beauty; white, jasper immaculate; Purple orchid, complement each other. At the end is the world of green, the sea of flowers. The morning breeze is coming, the fragrance is far away, in the face of this situation, the lotus farmers smiled, and the folk singers sang excitedly: The cool river is good, the lotus fragrance is everywhere, the seven sons of the lotus god go down to the mortal world, bless me Lotus Fengmin is happy.

Don't forget to dig wells when drinking water, and don't forget to save people. When the lotus farmers were jubilant and looked for the seven children with admiration, when they looked up, they could still faintly distinguish the pleasant singing and cordial children's voices in the air: the lotus seven children, obey the order of the ninefold, sweep away the strong Liang, and would rather the lotus flower be red.

The villagers clearly remember: this day is the 24th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, so this day is called the "Lotus Day" to give birth to a noble son, and the seven children who save the poor are called "the seven princes of the lotus gods". And this day, it is the time when the lotus is in full bloom, and it is the best time to appreciate the lotus and taste the lotus once a year. “

Since then, every year, the villagers of Kuhe Town will hold a sacrifice to the lotus god, put lotus lanterns, and celebrate the harvest.

Die'er has questions again, since they used to plant lotuses here for a living, why don't they plant now, and change to farming?

"Hey, this is also caused by the later development, the country fights a war, and there must be food. The change of dynasties, the most pitiful is the common people, the strict taxes are collected through grain, but the money for planting lotus every year is not enough to buy grain and pay taxes, under the trade-off, the lotus farmers have become tenant farmers. Gu Gu looked at the bamboo strip in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The lotus flowers in front of Die'er seem to have turned into a war fire, stretching endlessly, wailing all over the field, and always uncomfortable in her heart. There was even an urge to do something, but reason made the limbs weak.

Looking at the old man in front of him, who has always been optimistic and open-minded, he must have suffered a lot at that time. Looking at the back of this majestic shore around him, I want to tell him that in fact, the most bitter days have not yet come.

Think about the previous life, because of the grain failure, the rice tank at home was shiny, the oil tank was cleaner than the dish soap, and finally relied on pumpkin to survive Jinse's childhood. I swear in my heart: I will never let my parents in this world go hungry and be forced to leave the country again. The family should be together, happy together, and since God has asked me to do it all over again, I will do my best to do something well.

Shui Qing saw that the range seemed to be a little wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Die'er, let's see if Dad's lantern looks good?" ”

Gu looked at this child, who was only more than three years old, and his heart was not at peace at this time. It's because of my experience, and after hearing this story, I thought of some things, why did this little girl have that thoughtful look just now?
