I don't know where to blow the reed pipe, and I recruit people to look at the hometown overnight. Du Wu has been in the prison cell of the county government for almost half a month, and this half month is the most unforgettable years in his life, and he has asked himself more than once whether he has committed evil in his previous life to fall to such a point.

divorced, lost contact, and was exiled to a place where he couldn't return home, and was inexplicably sentenced to death, and he was beheaded.

Although he has been constantly thinking about how to overturn the case these days, no one in the entire county jail is willing to deal with him.

Even if he shouted out his throat or said something that sounded strange to the jailers, the jailers did not want to come and take a look, it was so stinky that they ate and drank in this small space of only a few square meters, and they only thought that the prisoner knew that he was about to die and was insane.

This kind of thing is no longer unusual. The prison where Du Wu is located is a special prison for death row prisoners, and it is full of death row prisoners who have been sentenced to be executed, because they are death row prisoners, they have lost the value of being used, and the county lieutenant and jailer don't even bother to ask for bribes, because they know that these death row prisoners are already dead people, and if you ask him for it, he will not give you a penny.

Therefore, when dealing with these death row prisoners, the jailers generally stay away, and if they can't die, they don't care about anything else.

I don't know what happened today, but when it was almost noon, a jailer came over and delivered a bowl of rice to each cell.

Under Du Wu's careful questioning, a jailer shouted impatiently: "What do you ask, you still have to ask so much for food, his grandmother's, let Lao Tzu come to deliver food, he will be smoked to death!" Du Wu took the bowl and found that it was covered with a bunch of grass, and the blades of grass were pestled into the bowl, and the bowl was actually half a bowl of millet porridge, Du Wu, who had not seen normal food for half a month, was overjoyed, and swallowed the porridge into his mouth when he opened his mouth, and after swallowing it, he felt more and more hungry, and he didn't think much about it, he licked the bowl with his tongue, licked and licked, and suddenly his nose was sore, and his tears fell down in large pieces.

When had he ever been so downcast!

"It turned out to be the Dragon Boat Festival." Diagonally across from a cell, an old voice came over.

"Dragon Boat Festival? Hey, as a prisoner, you shouldn't expect to have zongzi to eat. Du Wu sighed

"Zongzi? What's that? The old man asked suspiciously.

"Zongzi is Zongzi, wrapped in Zongzi leaves, inside are rice dumplings, the north will put bean paste or jujube paste, and the south is meat dumplings, what, don't you eat zongzi here?" The old man's voice floated over: "This descendant always says something that the foreheads don't understand. The Dragon Boat Festival is such a festival for the purpose of dispelling diseases and disasters. According to legend, during the Warring States Period, people called the Dragon Boat Festival

"Evil moon and evil day", because from this day, summer has officially arrived, because the weather in the north is hot and dry, people are prone to illness, and the plague is easy to epidemic.

In addition, snakes and insects begin to infest, and it is easy to bite people, so the people in this place are also called Dragon Boat Festival Poison Day.

I saw the wormwood on the bowl, this is used to prevent the five poisons, the five poisons are long worms, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, toads, Dragon Boat Festival, to use various methods to prevent the harm of the five poisons.

Generally, when the five poisons are pasted in the house, the five poisons are drawn on red paper, and then five needles are pricked on the five poisons, and they are stabbed to death as poison.

So, in this place, there is a custom of not mentioning the May. Du Wu listened attentively and hurriedly asked, "What is not to lift May?" The old man coughed lightly, and then said: "Don't mention the meaning of May, that is, the baby born on the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5, both men and women can not be raised, once raised, the man will harm the father, the woman will harm the mother, and the lord who is an official will not take office in May, unlucky, can not be promoted, and will not build a house in May, it will make people bald, so at this time, the daughter who has been married will also go home for the holiday, called hiding the Dragon Boat Festival ......"

"What about children born on the fifth of May?" The old man was still babbling, but was interrupted by Du Wu, maybe after being imprisoned, it was rare to have a chance to show off his knowledge in front of people, the old man was very angry, and said loudly: "If you are beaten to death or thrown into the mountains, what else can you do, do you want to harm your family?" Du Wu opened his mouth wide and didn't speak for a long time, it was really difficult for him to connect the Dragon Boat Festival in later generations with the Dragon Boat Festival of the Han Dynasty.

The Dragon Boat Festival in later generations, it was a three-day holiday, these three days people were spent in the carnival, people with cars drove on the free national highways, people without cars or cars or high-speed trains or planes, all over the world.

The old man teased his grandson, the children flew kites on the lawn, the couples held hands to watch the midnight movie, the supermarket was full of discounted zongzi, Taobao and Jingdong would also take the opportunity to reduce the price of promotion, thinking of this, Du Wu suddenly felt sad again, he was homesick.

The Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown, there is no dragon boat, and zongzi is rarely eaten, and Shandong people want to eat boiled eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival.

He remembers when he went to school, the Dragon Boat Festival did not have a holiday, when he went out in the morning, his mother would stuff two boiled eggs into his school bag, and when he arrived at school, he would find that some students hung a bundle of iris at the door of the classroom, and during class, the Chinese teacher would let the students go on stage to talk about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, and then everyone laughed and laughed and drew grimaces on the eggs with colored pens, and then exchanged with each other

"Qu Zi's soul is always there, and the customs of Chu Township remain to this day", and the eggs were eliminated in the recitation of poetry. Skillful students will also make a tumbler with eggshells, and on this day, the teacher will generally be relatively lenient, which makes many naughty students secretly make small movements under the desk.

When I got home, my mother had already wrapped dumplings, and in Shandong, as long as it was a festival, I would eat dumplings, and Du Wu could eat a large plate every time, then wipe his mouth and run out to play with his friends.

Thinking about it, tears moistened my eyes. At this time, the sky has darkened, and the noisy cries on the back wall of the yamen have disappeared, I don't know who played the flute in the distance, and the distant flute sound entered Du Wu's ears, Du Wu couldn't help but feel sad and cried loudly.

Mom, are you okay? I miss you...... On the first day of June in the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Han Ai was seriously ill, and in order to pray for health and amnesty, he granted amnesty to the world.

On the third day of June in the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Han Ai died. On the first day of the seventh month of the second year of Yuanshou, Liu Yin ascended the throne at the age of nine, and changed the next year to the first year of Yuanshi, and granted amnesty to the world.
