48 Lantern Festival night

Over the next few days, everyone gradually recovered from the horror and dreary haze.

There were more people visiting each other one after another, and laughter gradually came out from all households, and Wu Ye's little face also had a smile.

One night, Yu Jinglong privately asked Abu for instructions on whether he wanted to secretly investigate his religious beliefs thoroughly.

As the leader in charge of the safety of the valley, he felt deep remorse for not discovering the slightest sign of such a tragic incident in advance.

Even if Abu didn't say it, he always felt guilty of dereliction of duty.

Abu waved his hand to stop him, saying that he should let him go through the past and pay more attention to it in the future.

Now that everyone's emotions have slowly recovered, if the scab is uncovered again, it will only increase the panic and unhappiness of the family.

In the end, Abu said: "Even if there are still such people in the valley, as long as we occupy the ideological position and strengthen education and guidance, we can slowly convert these people." ”

Yu Jinglong saw that Abu said yes, so he no longer insisted, and then got up to leave.

One morning, before Abu got up, Yun Niang knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Big lazy worm, don't sleep, it's time to get up."

You should really learn from Wu Ye, a child who gets up before dawn and has been practicing for a long time. ”

Abu opened his eyes and looked at them, and when he saw the two of them in the room, and at Yun Niang, who was standing by the bed, was bright and moving, and his heart suddenly rose; The little brother who has risen overnight is even more optimus and ready to move.

Abu couldn't help but stretch out his arms from the quilt and hugged Yun Niang, with a low smile in his mouth: "Come on, come on, little beauty, let's hug one first." ”

It's a big bad wolf that encounters a delicious little hen.

Yun Niang was startled, jumped back with her feet, escaped from the attack range of Abu's claws, her face was hot, and she said angrily: "You big villain, you are full of dirty thoughts all day long. ”

Abu lay on his back on the bed, his face full of disappointment, and cried out in a wailing voice: "God is pitiful, all I think about all day is a beautiful girl named Yun Niang, how can I say what kind of dirty thoughts this is!" ”

Yun Niang's face was blushing, and she wanted to beat him up, but the consequence of doing so was estimated to be falling into the clutches of the devil, so she could only stomp her foot fiercely and said, "Ignore you, hurry up and get up." ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran out, leaving Abu laughing on the bed.

He got dressed, came to the hall, and through the window, he found Wu Ye's small figure nailed motionless in the courtyard, and was seriously tying up his horse.

At this time, Yun Niang also came over and said softly: "Since that incident happened last time, Xiao Ye seems to have changed as a different person.

Especially in the past few days, I get up before dawn every day, either to exercise or to review my homework.

Although it seems that nothing is wrong, I always worry that it will be the Bao'er incident that irritates him too much? ”

Abu also felt the same way, as if the little guy had suddenly opened his mind and became sensible all of a sudden.

In the past, although Wu Ye's training enthusiasm was also very high, it was all carried out under his own supervision, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to increase his dose now.

He comforted Yun Niang and said, "Isn't it good that Xiao Ye can take the initiative to learn and exercise?"

After a long time, Xiaoye will slowly forget about it, so don't worry too much. ”

In the days before the Lantern Festival, in addition to visiting, chatting and drinking, people gathered together to watch the Lantern Festival program rehearsed by Li Yan and Yun Niang. The silk and bamboo are curling, the kite strings are noisy, and the laughter is endless.

At the same time, the hands of the big guys are not idle, they are busy setting up lanterns for their children.

According to tradition, a few days around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, children have to go out into the streets to play and carry lanterns.

This is the time to test the skills of parents.

If the lanterns picked out by your children are ugly, they will not only be ridiculed by their friends, but even parents will feel faceless.

Most of the lantern skeletons are tied with sorghum straw, and then pasted with paper or silk.

Finally, various images of humans, beasts, gods, and Buddhas are drawn, and small lamps or candles are placed in them.

Even some ingenious parents can make a marquee effect, and the various portraits on it rotate in turn, which is amazing and wonderful.

Since there is glass, everyone has more thoughts, and some directly place a small lamp in the glass, saying that this is called a glass lamp.

Some will use glass bowls as a base, and add various wings or streamers on the outside.

Li Yan saw that his righteous son Wu Ye was often depressed these days, so he gave Abu a death order, saying that he was now in charge of the rehearsal of the Lantern Festival program, and he was very busy, and Abu was in charge of making lanterns for Wu Ye.

No matter what you do, anyway, you have to find a way to make the most beautiful lantern for Wu Ye.

Abu was forced to scratch his head, if he also learned to use sorghum straw to tie lanterns, it would be better to hit his head and die. It's really a lack of art skills and artistic cells!

Yun Niang is also stepping up rehearsals for the show, and she is so busy all day that she can't get out of her body, which must not be counted on.

In the end, Abu ran to Li Baotian for help. Li Baotian thought about it and said that a few days ago, he begged Bai Boda to make a lotus petal mold that had just been completed, so let's make a small lamp to practice first.

Li Baotian found a young man to help, Abu helped light the fire, suppressed a small bottom of the plate, and then spent half a day to blow out the lotus petals one by one.

He also glued the lotus petals to the bottom of the plate to make a glass lamp in the shape of a lotus flower, and put a glass cover on the outside to prevent the wind.

After Liu Yuanlu saw it, he also enthusiastically came over to help. He took the glass lamp to himself and dyed the lotus petals in a variety of colors.

After the glass lamp is formed, after lighting the small lamp inside, it is colorful and beautiful under the illumination of the lamp.

This can be said to be the latest type of product in the world that uses the most cutting-edge industrial and chemical technology to jointly manufacture.

When everyone saw it, they were amazed, and Wu Ye was even more happy. After Li Baotian saw the final product, he couldn't believe that it was made by himself.

He then asked Abu if he could make a variety of different models.

Abu laughed when he heard this, and said that as long as you can say that Uncle Bai will help you make molds, you can make whatever you want, and every time you build a new model, we will add a new product line.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he asked Li Baotian to help make a few prisms. Li Baotian was puzzled, but he still made it according to Abu's drawings. Abu was very satisfied after seeing it, and praised Li Baotian's superb craftsmanship.

Li Baotian asked him what it was for, and Abhaha laughed and said, "Magic, you know, this is a prop for playing magic." ”

Li Baotian pursed his lips and said: "What kind of magic is not magic, isn't it just a trick?" ”

One sentence made Abu Yi not speak for a long time, and there was nothing wrong with what people said, so honest people sometimes speak more chokingly.

In the end, he could only say in a muffled voice: "You will know when the time comes." ”

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the sun is shining. Abu informed everyone that he was going to perform a magic trick on everyone, and the venue was next to the hall where the show was being rehearsed.

First of all, some idle children gathered together, and Abu stood at the door and said to everyone with a smile: "This is the New Year, and I haven't prepared much in advance, so I'll perform a magic trick for everyone." ”

He first blocked all the doors and windows of this room, and then made a small hole in the black cloth behind the window, let a ray of light in, and then adjusted the angle of the prism inside.

Something miraculous appeared, and on the white paper behind the prism, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple colored light strips appeared in turn.

The children were amazed and cheered and ran to tell each other that Mr. Abu had created a rainbow out of thin air, which was amazing! Then they each pulled their parents to watch.

Everyone was skeptical, but they could only helplessly put down their work and go to watch Abu's magic.

After watching it, everyone was excited, and it felt a little incredible. Abu then used another prism to merge the seven colors of light into a white light, which was displayed on the wall behind him.

Looking at the crowd gathered, Abu explained to everyone that the sunlight we usually see, or the white light source, is actually composed of various colors of light, and because of their different wavelengths, the colors displayed are also different.

Red light has a longer wavelength, violet has a shorter wavelength, and outside the red and violet ranges, there are also light rays that are invisible to the naked eye, which can be called infrared and ultraviolet rays.

Therefore, in the future, when you see something that feels very miraculous or even incredible, you should have a realistic and pragmatic attitude and actively explore the scientific principles behind it, instead of blindly following or superstitious that this is a miracle or a divine arrangement.

This kind of realistic behavior and way of thinking about problems is the philosophical thought mentioned last time.

Philosophy is actually very simple, it is to guide people how to do things, and test various theories through practice. If we understand the rationale behind some strange phenomena, you will find that the so-called miracles are nothing more than that.

After listening to this, everyone was thoughtful and felt that what Abu said was very reasonable. After all, if you don't explain it, the rainbow that appears out of thin air today is very magical to everyone, but after Mr. Abu's explanation, it is found that the principle inside is indeed very simple.

And the principles behind all kinds of mysterious and strange phenomena declared by various religions and warlocks are also very simple?

Seeing everyone's thoughtful looks, Abu was relieved to know that his goal had been achieved, and he planted a seed for the people of the valley to seek truth from facts and test various theories with practice.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, everyone talked about wine, sang tactfully, danced vigorously, cheered, cheered, one after another, and was very lively.

The children carried lanterns of different shapes and came out to show the hard work of their parents, including flowers, fish, dragons and phoenixes, as well as new glass lamps, which were colorful and colorful.

Some adults who like to play pranks tease children, "Gazi, look, the bottom of your lantern is on fire!" ”

"Little Huzi, why is there a big bug under your lantern!"

Some of the children couldn't help but be frightened, so they curiously turned over the lantern and knocked it down, but the lamp was overturned and spilled, and the papier-mΓ’chΓ© lantern instantly burst into flames.

So the scene left the cry of the children and the smug laughter of the adults who succeeded in the prank, as well as the chasing and scolding of the children's parents.

The pain and unhappiness will eventually pass, happiness and joy will still accompany everyone, and a busy year is coming.
