All of this stems from a mistake made five years ago.

Five years ago, at the beginning of Wu Ning's crossing, he saw Meng Cangsheng delivering to Li Xian's wife, and the baby born was Li Bao'er.

Truth be told, it's a godsend.

If he had been able to get in touch with Li Xian earlier, only by saving his wife and daughter, Wu Ning would never have been able to nest in the ravine for another five years.

The reason why he gave up Li Xian was because of Meng Cangsheng and one of his actions, that is, to respond to Qiu Shenji's request.

Qiu Shenji, who was frightened by Meng Cangsheng's three words, came to Meng Cangsheng that night and begged Meng Cangsheng to save his life.

And Wu Ning was also present at that time, so he responded to Qiu Shenji's invitation.

......

And what Wu Ning is saying now is wrong, not because he saved Li Xian's wife and children, it is this Qiu Shenji's matter, which is indeed a little inappropriate in the current situation.

To put it bluntly, he made an agreement with Taiping and sent Chen Ziang back to his hometown.

The only problem that Wu Ning is afraid of revealing his whereabouts is that so far, the only flaw that the uncle and nephew have exposed is Qiu Shenji.

The night was too hasty.

So much so that he deliberately made pockmarks to avoid Zhou Xing, and now he doesn't dare to meet Li Xian, all because of the haste of that night.

During this time, Wu Ning has been thinking about this thing.

How can we plug that hole back then? Otherwise, not only will Li Xian and Wu Ning not be close at all, but once he enters Beijing in the future to find out the old case, whether it is Zhou Xing or Li Xian, who will return to Beijing in a few years, will be his biggest threat.

Therefore, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, and instead of worrying about it now and causing trouble in the future, it is better to take a risk now and completely solve the problem from the root.

"Your Highness doesn't have to go back to the city!"

Wu Ning was extremely firm, "Let Li Xian come!" It is best to call Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi to the lower mountain pass to testify. Ning, has its own calculations. ”

Taiping: "......"

looked at Helan Minzhi worriedly, but saw that Brother Helan had already walked towards the door.

"Just do what Jiuro says!"

......

Wu Ning returned to the house and sat expressionless for a long time. Finally reached into his arms and took out the bag of things that Xiao Daoren gave him.

Looking at the black powder, Wu Laojiu almost stopped crying, "Heaven is not as good as people, and I have to wipe your face in the end." ”

There may be no way, who made his life miserable, and put such a strange and difficult life experience on the stall?

Wipe it!

......

"Ahh

A heart-rending howl came from Wu Laojiu's room.

First the face, then the ass, and now back to the face......

Wu Laojiu is not having a good time this day!

......

——————————

The Chinese New Year, no matter which dynasty or generation, is a big festival.

The so-called removal of the old and welcoming the new is also the top priority in the hearts of the Chinese people.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year's Eve has officially begun.

Early in the morning, before Wu Ning got up, Old Zujun had already come over to call.

"Get up and go with your third brother to the end of the year."

"Huh?" Wu Ning had a swollen face, and he was still sleeping in a daze.

"Let the seventh brother and the eighth brother go, what's the matter with me?"

Zu Jun glared, "If you want to go, you will go!" Other babies want to go, but the old man won't let it! ”

"Oh."

Wu Ning had no choice but to get dressed and dressed.

As soon as I went out, I saw the seventh, eighth, eleventh, and Huzi already waiting outside the courtyard with firewood.

didn't wash his face anymore, Wu Ning picked up a pair of broken shoes from the foot of the wall next to the door, as well as the old clothes he wore last year, and was about to be discharged from the hospital.

As soon as I took two steps, the door on the other side of the guest room opened in time, and I saw Princess Taiping also holding a pair of embroidered shoes and an old Taoist robe coming out.

Wu Ning Yile, "Your Highness is also going?" ”

Taiping pursed his lips and smiled, and teased: "No matter whether you are high or low, who doesn't have to celebrate the New Year?" ”

"Hey." Wu Ningxin said, yes.

"Then let His Highness see how our mountain people celebrate the New Year, and ensure that there is no such excitement in the capital!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard side by side with Taiping.

The seventh and eighth saw that Her Royal Highness the princess also followed, and they were a little restrained at first.

But after walking together for a while, I saw that this Tang princess didn't seem to have any shelves, and like the girl in the mountains, holding old clothes and shoes, with the joy of the New Year on her face, she didn't take it so seriously.

......

The group arrived at the grain field in the col.

Far away, I saw that the third brother was already waiting there. And not only the third brother, but almost all the men and women of the whole col are concentrated here.

By this time, a large pile of firewood had been piled up with each family.

The seventh and eighth children trotted a few steps and threw their share of firewood into the pile.

Taiping looked at the novelty and sighed: "It's a lot of it, in previous years, it was not so big in the palace." ”

"So what do you think?" Wu Ning pouted, there is only their old Li family in the palace, how big a pile can they order, this is a child.

Before entering, Wu Ning added his own firewood.

At this time, the eighth child had already used a flint to draw a torch and handed it to Wu Ning.

"Let the third brother come!" Wu Ning was also modest.

At the end of the burning year, this is the beginning of the New Year, and it is generally the families who take firewood and choose the famous people among the juniors to set fire to the New Year.

In previous years, it was the eldest third brother, and Zu Jun's own grandson Wu Laoba or Wu Qilai lit this fire, but this year it was replaced by Wu Ning.

"If you want to come, you will come!" The third brother smiled.

"Who can light this fire this year except you!?"

......

"That's it!" The sixth uncle helped in the back, beckoning left and right, "This year's situation depends on Lao Jiu." If he doesn't order, who can! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes..."

"That's right!!"

Everyone was coaxing.

Someone even took the opportunity to damage Wu Ning: "Isn't this old nine thick-skinned?" ”

"Are we still showing our timidity?"

Get!

Wu Ningxin said, just order!

Take the torch...

Tear up your voice and sing and shout.....

"Chinese New Year~~!!"

Throw the torch on the pyre! Boom!

The pine oil and debris inside were ignited at once. Jumped up in the blink of an eye!

In a few moments the whole pyre was on fire. The flames are a foot high!

The better the year, the bigger the year, and the higher the interest of the villagers in the New Year.

Count it up.

It's been a lot of years since I've had such a big burning pile.

.....

At this time, it was Wu Ning who grabbed a handful of dried bamboo branches that had been prepared long ago and threw them into the fire.

The dolls couldn't wait for a long time, and when they saw Wu doing it, they came up like crazy to grab bamboo branches and threw them into the fire!

When he landed, the bamboo branches exploded in the fire, crackling and crackling!

There are no firecrackers in these years, and the so-called "firecrackers" refer to the bamboo branches in this fire.

Although it is not as loud as firecrackers in later generations, it crackles non-stop, and from time to time a bunch of sparks collapse. It is lively tight, too.

Everyone is also laughing and noisy, and the sound of the New Year is one after another. Add a bit of New Year's flavor.

...

Wu Ning handed a handful of bamboo branches to Taiping.

"Do you want to try it??"

......

(What happened that night was originally in the introduction, but was later cut for space reasons.) This has caused some people to have seen it and some people have not seen it, resulting in a bit of a cloud now. In the original plan, Cangshan wanted to transform that paragraph into memories and place them here for relatives and friends to understand. But now it's charged, and it's a little unfair for old book friends who have read it to spend money to read it again, so after thinking about it, let's put that paragraph in the work. If you haven't seen it, you can look for it at the top of the catalog. It's quite interesting, it's the first show of Wu Laojiu's intelligence. ）
