Chapter 325: The Bon Festival

The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is not only the Zhongyuan Festival, an important day in ancient China, but also the Obon Festival in the cherry blossom country.

In the eyes of the people of the cherry blossom country, this festival is comparable to the Spring Festival, so a few days before the arrival of this festival, people have already begun to prepare things.

In a local place called Turen County, the residents of this place get up early in the morning to carry out the tomb sweeping ceremony of their ancestors.

According to the custom of most parts of the cherry blossom country, after the tomb sweeping ceremony, they will have an afternoon of leisure, and then gather everyone in the evening to dance a dance called "bono", which is arguably the busiest time of the day.

However, Turen County's approach is slightly different.

After lunch, the whole village of men, women and children began to gather, and then all sat together, enduring the exposure of the heavenly sun, and the local county magistrate would lead the people to start chanting thick memorial texts, which were handed down from generation to generation of literati, some were poems, some were letters, in short, very mixed.

However, this custom has been practiced here for thousands of years, and although the process is tedious, they have persisted from generation to generation.

However, for this kind of occasion, children with big hearts are the most unbearable.

So when it's a little darker, these kids, who don't have a little bit of awe in their hearts, will sneak out and do what they want.

At seven o'clock in the evening, there were really two tiger-headed imps who lied to the toilet and said that they wanted to go to the toilet, and then they got out of the sight of their parents and ran out quickly.

The two children who came running over looked very similar and looked like two brothers.

"Daro, Jiro, you've been too long! Just now, Kameda and I both wanted to leave directly. ”

When they arrived, a little fat man stood up and complained, "Daro, Jiro, you've been too long! ”

The slightly older child explained, "Kameda, my mother is very watchful, and we almost can't get out." ”

"Okay, okay, don't discuss it, let's discuss where to play!"

The kid named Watanabe urged.

"Alas, I don't know where this guy is Xiaoguang, otherwise, he would definitely be able to come up with a very fun game. ”

"Yes, I heard Ah Niang say that Xiaoguang was abducted by human traffickers, and I heard from the people in the village that someone had seen Xiaoguang in Shendu and was sold to the barracks. ”

"Alas, Xiaoguang is so pitiful, he was washed by the river and came to our village, and after only three months, he was deceived again. ”

A few friends were sad for a while.

But the little fat man named Kameda was very disapproving, because this little light was the rival who snatched a kiss from his favorite Xiangmei.

Even though he's missing now, Kameda is still indignant.

"Cut! Wouldn't we be able to play without him? Let's have an exciting game tonight, go to the mountains!"

After the little fat man finished speaking, he pointed to a mountain in the distance, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

"Kameda, why don't you go, A-Niang said that there are ghosts in Wangwang Mountain, and His Majesty's dream a few days ago also confirmed that this legend is true. ”

"What is true? These are all words of adults deceiving children! When you are two years old, you will all understand, and the dreams of His Majesty, I can't believe it, and I can hear what my father said to my grandfather.

Because in the past half a year, too many things have happened in Sakura Country, and all government affairs have been pressed on His Majesty the Heavenly King alone, so his pressure is already very great, so let's secretly tell you a secret. ”

Hearing this, all three of them gathered around.

Then, Kameda looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King, he ...... Crazy!"

"Ahh

The three children were shocked for a long time, but the child named Da Lang shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, the teacher said that the king of heaven is the son of the sun god, how can the god be sick? You are lying!"

The other two children also agreed, in their hearts, in their hearts, the status of the Martial Emperor was comparable to the sun and the moon, and they would never be allowed to be slandered.

"Cut, don't believe me, this is what my uncle who was a soldier told my father, don't talk about this, let's go, let's go to the mountains now, and come back when the celebration is almost over." ”

The little fat man has been a bold lord since he was a child, and he has been planning for a long time to explore in Wangwang Mountain, but he didn't expect the three of them to be cowardly, and they went to explore in the deep mountains and old forests at night, even adults don't have the guts.

The little fat man persuaded him a few more times, but the three of them didn't seem to be interested, so they had to give up the idea.

"Then you say, what are you playing? Later, the Omonoja event will start, and we won't have time when this event starts. ”

Everyone thought for a while, and at this time, Kameda suddenly proposed, "By the way, didn't you say that there will be an event of 'Hundred Ghosts Night Tour' in the Shendu area today?"

Let's do this kind of activity in Turen County, too! I secretly bought a lot of new ghost masks, and I promise that they will all be intimidated.

If you can scare the whole village, it will be cool!"

The other three also thought that this method seemed to work, so they all ran to Kameda's little fat man's house.

"San'er, we're going to dance the 'basin' together later, don't run around, otherwise your father will scold!"

The mistress of the Kameda family has long since died, and the woman who spoke was the new woman married by the man, but her temperament was very weak, and she was always used to the son born to this eldest lady.

"Get out of here! Stinky woman! You snatched my father, and now you want to control me? I tell you, I'm not afraid of you, come on, ah!"

The little fat man wore the mask of a big tengu, and the momentum of the whole person came up at once, and the cowardly woman was so frightened by him that she retreated again and again, and finally fell to the ground.

The little fat man took off his mask, and then laughed and said, "Stupid ugly woman, are you afraid, you can go to my father like a resentful woman, poor man." ”

The woman was bullied like this by a child, and then she felt so ashamed that she really cried and ran away.

"Kameda, it's too bad for you to do this, she's your mother. ”

"yes, yes. ”

The other three were also a little unbearable, how could anyone be so bad to their mother.

"Oh, shut up and get your masks quickly! I'll tell you a plan later, and when these people are dancing and dancing, we'll rush out dressed as monsters and scare them half to death!"

"Good!"

The four children were all looking forward to the feat to be accomplished, but no one noticed that a dark shadow in the corner was sharpening a sharp blade and showing an eerie smile.
