Before dawn, a knock on the door woke Wu Nian, and when he saw the quilt covering him at some point, his sleepiness was gone, and Leng Yue, who was still asleep, curled up, like a wronged kitten, Wu Nian quietly looked at her long hair that was a little messy, although it covered half of her face, her lovely face was not reduced at all!

"Have you seen enough? Folded the quilt" Leng Yue turned over and looked at the stunned Wu Nian, stretched her waist and walked into the east house, saying good morning to Uncle Wu!

The Zhao family, who had already prepared breakfast, had already been crowded with people, Leng Feng was dressed very formally, with a small red flower pinned to his chest, two red cloths folded into a handful of width, crossed over his shoulders and waist, and behind him were dozens of Zhao family members, holding burning paper and shovels and other things behind him!

In front of the mountain temple, there is a vermilion incense case, three kinds of fruits are placed in the shape of a mountain, the head of the fried fish and pig is placed in the middle, a piece of yellow paper is spread from the incense case to the temple, the pile of yellow paper like a hill is ignited, and the famous Zhihe people in the township are reciting the words on the side, "Leng Feng, the son of the Zhao family, is engaged to get married tomorrow, and I am here to visit all the mountain gods, I wish you all the immortals to manifest their spirits, bless everything well, and the people present will prolong their lives and be healthy, and they will set up an altar to worship on the day to repay the true grace of the town for many years"

After the ceremony, the paper money was burned to ashes, and the group of people rushed to the back mountain, Leng Feng held a cornucopia with both hands, and the Chongyang cake and dogwood liquor and cigarettes in the basin were each into a plate, and the family was busy along the way, each carrying a red cloth bag, and every dozens of meters would grab a handful of joy candy from the cloth bag and throw it on the side of the road, followed by a group of children behind the team, coaxing and picking up the candy on the ground, although there was usually no shortage of sugar to eat, but it was also very happy!

The stalks of the crops on the roadside have been hung with wind and frost, the temperature in the northeast in late autumn has plummeted, and the grass full of vitality has to bow its head like fate.

On the ancient cemetery, the withered grass has turned yellow, the poplar trees on the mountain have become bare, the golden leaves have fallen on the fields with the autumn wind, and the gray-white tombstones have become a unique scene in this land, standing steadily and quietly in the late autumn, the season is meaningless to the dead!

The family members used shovels to clear out a field, placed the incense case and all the tributes, and piled up a mountain of ingots and yellow paper made of various gold and silver papers, and some young people took out foreign bills printed with Fengdu Bank from their arms, and no one knew which currency could be used in another world!

As the Zhao family's highest-ranking Zhao Fu, the whole shirt bowed deeply to the grave three times, "Leng Feng, the fifth generation eldest son of the Zhao family, will get married tomorrow, the ancestors accumulate virtue and do good deeds in exchange for the peace of the Zhao family for generations, the descendants start a family, the family celebrates together, and now there are relatives who can return to share the joy, and it coincides with today's Double Ninth Festival, specially prepare water and wine, go to stay and celebrate!" ”

After speaking, Leng Feng opened a few bottles of liquor, sprinkled them in front of each grave, and placed some chongyang cakes before returning to the incense case, the family members held dogwoods stained with liquor, and after each grave was inserted into a bunch, Leng Feng took a shovel, shoveled new soil and sprinkled it on each grave, led by Zhao Fu, kowtowed three heads to the grave, and kowtowed according to the seniority before walking down the mountain in a group!

On the way back, Zhao Fu was worried: "Jianbang, have you arranged for someone to come over to add a grave recently?" ”

"No, there haven't been any festivals lately."

"Then did you find that the soil of several graves is not withered, as if it has just been added to the grave, who else can it be if it is not the Zhao family?" Zhao Fu knew in his heart that without his own reminder, it would be difficult for the Zhao family to think of Tian Tomb, when he was alive, his father was kind and filial to his son, and when he really left, he slowly faded into his memory!

Relatives and friends who received the good news have arrived one after another, the main road of Miaotou Village is full of all kinds of cars, as the host Zhao Jianguo is arranging parking spaces, followed by more than ten families, receiving congratulatory gifts from people, as the agricultural family of Miaotou Village, the relatives and friends of the Zhao family are almost involved in various fields!

The sound of suona has lasted for two days, the Zhao family has not had Zhang Luo for many years, and he was full of energy for a while, running in the crowd with beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, commanding the family to count the gifts and make records.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of gongs and drums, but Leng Hua was not in the mood to participate in it, the mother in the room shouted like crazy, if it wasn't for the excitement outside, I am afraid that someone would have found out a long time ago, Wu Nian, as an idler, was called to the room by Leng Hua, and the two forced their mother to press on the bed, and the crazy person seemed to have endless strength, breaking free again and again, and being pressed down again and again!

Although there is no tongue, Leng Hua's mother has been shouting in her mouth, there are only two words from beginning to end, Wu Nian stopped in his ears and remembered in his heart, "Ao Xian, Ao Xian", when the music organs outside the door at noon took a lunch break, Leng Hua's mother quieted down, her head drilled into her daughter's arms, and looked out of the door in fear, Wu Nian glanced at Leng Hua and returned to her room!

After settling down with her mother, Leng Hua came to Wu Nian's room, the two looked at each other and sat down, Wu Nian knew very well that the repetition of old things was a harm to Leng Hua and her mother, but out of helplessness, this was about her own life, and it might also involve more people!

"Did you hear what your mother said?" Leng Hua is a well-informed girl, and when she saw that Wu Nian was not good at speaking, she took the initiative to bring up the topic!

"Aunt has been shouting the word Aoxian, it seems to be a personal name, and you find that no, aunt seems to be very repulsive to the sound of suona, maybe this voice can remind her of the past for many years, or it may be unhappy!"

"So what do the words "Aoxian" represent?" Leng Hua learned her mother's pronunciation, repeating these two words over and over again, and suddenly Leng Hua stopped, looked at Wu Nian, and the two said in unison, "Zhao Jian? ”

"Commander Zhao Jian? What does he have to do with this? It seems that we will have to pay attention to Zhao Jian in the future, this person is exquisite, it seems that it is not as simple as it seems"

After listening to Leng Hua's analysis, Wu Nian felt that it made sense, "Although I don't know if this discovery is beneficial, but at least the matter is clearer, the five people who died in the Zhao family within half a year, there are no clues, the murderer is Qin Tianhong, it is not terrible, at least he is in the light, I am afraid that there is someone else, and at this time, there are fewer and fewer people who can make us believe, one hand is enough to count"

There was a gong outside the door, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat" because there are a lot of people attending the wedding these days, and it's too late to invite them one by one, so I chose this way, Dapeng proposed at the table, there is nothing important after the meal, I have never climbed the mountain, it is better to go up the mountain together to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival, and everyone hit it off as soon as the words came out, and they went to prepare things after lunch hastily!

As a native, Wu Nian naturally became a tour guide, holding Leng Yue's hand and walking in the front, followed by Leng Hua and Li Ziyao, who were wrapped in bags and small bags, and the only vacant space on the back mountain was the ancient cemetery and the chaotic death post!

The two places are less than a mile apart, and the name of the chaotic death post is just a little ugly, it is nothing more than burying some old people who are not surnamed Zhao, and finally everyone decided to come to the ancient cemetery, after all, their own family is more down-to-earth than the mass grave!

It is said that it is to ascend to worship the ancestors, in fact, it is a rhetoric, seven people took out the plastic sheeting that has been prepared and spread it on the ground, peanut deli beer is the same, drinking and singing are very happy, because there are single cold flowers present, it is inevitable that a few boys will not boast and brag for a while, although they know that they and cold flowers should be impossible, but the Northeast guys who have developed habits still can't avoid their own interests and hobbies, for a time the sky is full of flying cows, covering the sky and covering countless days!

After a few hours passed, Wu Nian was lying on the grass, with Leng Yue on his arm, the wine was almost drunk, he had to get up early tomorrow, and he should go home after resting for a while!

Patches of white clouds drift across the blue sky, sometimes like mountain peaks, sometimes like big birds, so close contact with nature, it has been many years ago, and before you know it, a snoring sound!

When Wu Nian opened his eyes again, it was not early, the sun was about to set, and a few white clouds in the sky were also stained red, like a lover's lips and like red wine in a cup, "Get up, go home" Wu Nian shouted and sat up!

Everyone gradually woke up from their sleep, cleaning up the mess on the ground, Leng Feng spilled the remaining few half-bottles of beer on the grave, Dapeng picked up the beer bottles and flew down the mountain one by one, his mouth crackling to cheer for himself!

Wu Nian, who was about to clean up the food, was pulled by Leng Yue's sleeve, "Brother Nian, Leng Hua is gone......"

"What?"

It was only a few people who noticed that the cold flower who was lying alone on the side just now was gone, and he hadn't rested well in the past few days, several people were asleep, and no one heard any movement, and the six people were divided into three groups to find it nearby!

Half an hour later, it was already dark, and several people returned to the ancient cemetery, shaking their heads and sighing at each other, it seemed that no one had found anything, and a gust of evening wind blew, making the already cold ancient cemetery even more terrifying!

"You guys go home first, Brother Nian and I will look for it again, after an hour, whether we find it or not, we will go back" Leng Yue took Wu Nian's hand and walked towards the mass grave!

Dapeng is not in a hurry to go home, Leng Yue is not afraid of a girl, how can he show timidity, the four of them looked for a circle before pushing and walking down the mountain, along the way Leng Feng has been calling his sister, the other end of the phone is on the phone, until I return home, only to come to the phone you dialed has been turned off!

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger

I miss my relatives every festive season

The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights

Dogwood is planted all over the place, and there are few cold flowers......
