Xi Xun then said: "Sister, look, there is no such regulation elsewhere, where did you get this regulation?" ”

Xiliu saw that several people were all bitter and hateful, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just that the fog is heavier, and it's not a matter of going up and down the knife mountain and going down to the oil pot, you don't need to grit your teeth like this, right?" ”

Ji Liu replied: "Dew weight is not a big deal, and the mountains are fresh in the morning, but Sister Xi, don't you think that the mountain wind in your house is blowing harshly, and the dew is cold, after wetting people's clothes, it is really, even more unbearable than autumn and winter." ”

Xiliu suddenly thought that when he saw Ji Liu and Jiang Fengmian in Hefengxuan, both of them were sitting indoors wrapped in a big coat, afraid of the cold. So she smiled and instructed Qi'er: "Qi'er, go back to the courtyard and go to Aunt Lin to get two of her father's windbreakers for the two sons." ”

The finch obeyed the order.

Only then did Ji Liu grin and thank him.

When everyone cleared the clouds and mist, climbed over the mountainside full of tea trees, and when they reached the top of the mountain, the sky finally ushered in the sun rising from the recess of the mountain.

Xiliu took out the paper money from the basket and gave it to several people for each person, and then everyone tore the paper money one by one, and then evenly pasted the torn paper money on the grave twilight everywhere, and then sent someone to cut a few thin bamboos, inserted the thin bamboo on the grave, and the grave cut from white paper was hung on the bamboo tail, and the tomb fluttered with the wind. The paper money on the grave is laid, and the next step is to tear the remaining paper money into a pile, put it in the incense burner in front of the tomb, and then put the sacrificial food in front of the tomb, and then use the fire fold to light the paper money, put the incense on the flame of the paper money, and then you can worship. Xiliu divided a handful of incense into several parts and handed it to everyone, and then everyone bowed three times together.

Paper money flies, cigarettes curl, adding a touch of silence to the green hills. It is said that by placing food on the grave, spreading paper money on the grave, and inserting a bamboo pole to hang on the tomb, those who live underground will receive money and food from the world, and they will not have to worry about food and clothing.

Xi Xun took the lead and walked around a cemetery on the top of the mountain, and then said: "Sister, I see that there are still a lot of paper money and incense, let's find a mound for the master and Ji Gongzi and their relatives to burn some too." ”

Xiliu was packing up his food, and replied, "Okay, you can take it, ask him to burn paper with you, and when the incense is ready, tell me to worship, and I will cut everything about this meat first." ”

Xi Xun answered, and then handed the walk to the finch, and took the basket containing the paper money.

She walked in front of Jiang Fengmian and said, "Master, there are still a lot of paper money and incense, Sister Ah said, we will burn some for your parents and the ancestors who went to Ji Gongzi first." ”

Jiang Fengmian replied: "Thank you Miss Guoxi for me, but ...... Don't bother, we don't have that rule over there. ”

Xixun pursed his lips and said, "Master, whether there is or not, today we are on Xiliu Mountain, and you have worshiped our family, naturally, my sister and I should also pay a little respect to the deceased of the two. ”

Jiang Fengmian raised his eyes and glanced at Xiliu, still indifferent: "No need." With that, he got up and left. Xi Xun stood in place with the basket, not knowing what to do.

Ji Liu, who was sitting next to Jiang Fengmian and didn't know where to go, saw Jiang Fengmian leaving, so he turned his head back suspiciously, he had a dog's tail grass in his mouth, he didn't have too much emotion, he saw Xi Xun who was about to cry, and smiled warmly: "Second girl Xi, Jiang Fengmian is such a person, very indifferent, you don't pay attention to him." He didn't want to worship his family, but Ji thought it would be good to burn some of my deceased family members before, so it was better to give it all to me. ”

Xi Xun nodded, put down the bamboo basket, and then tore up the paper money with Ji Liu, but his eyes still glanced at Jiang Fengmian who was leaving from time to time.

Ji Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "Sister Xixun, should you look at Jiang Fengmian's indifferent face, right?" ”

Xi Xun's cheeks flushed, and he said, "No...... No. ”

He lifted the dog's tail grass in his mouth and said, "Really? I'll tell you, it's not a good thing to look down on him, you'd better not. ”

Xi Xun asked: "Why is it not a good thing to look at Master Jiang?" ”

Ji Liu was stunned and replied, "He's the ...... Always put on a stinky face, and never gave anyone a good face......"

Xi Xun asked again: "Ji Gongzi, how do you know that he doesn't have a good face?" ”

Ji Liu threw away the dog's tail grass on his mouth and said, "I grew up with him, and I haven't seen him smile for more than ten years, anyway, he is very strict and ......."

"How did you grow up with your master, didn't he come from the capital?" Brook wonders.

Ji Liu replied: "He, it's my relative, I often saw him when I was a child, by the way, I also know many of his unknown secrets, if you want to know, I can tell you, but..."

"But what?" Xi Xun hurriedly asked.

"You also said that it is not rude to come. You're going to have to trade secrets for that, too. Ji Liu said seriously.

"But I don't have any secrets, if you want to know anything, I'll tell you."

Ji Liu hesitated for a while and said, "In this way, you tell me about your sister since she was a child, and I will tell you about Jiang Fuzi, are you willing to do this?" ”

Xi Xun hesitated, and was about to nod his head, when Xi Liuyu suddenly came to their side and said, "Xun'er, you go with me to the stream to wash some vegetables... The finches were busy setting up fires and boiling water, and had no leisure. ”

Xi Xun said with a reluctant face: "Sister, on our side, we haven't finished tearing up the rest of the paper money, and the family of Master and Ji Gongzi hasn't worshiped yet." ”

Ji Liu also echoed, "Exactly. ”

Xiliu glanced at the pile of paper money between Ji Liu and Xixun, it had been so long, and they had only torn up more than a dozen pieces of paper money, which was tearing it seriously, as if they didn't care about this paper money, and then glanced left and right, Jiang Fengmian stood on the ridge and looked around, leisurely.

Xiliu looked at the idle three, shook her head helplessly, she took the vegetable basket and walked towards Jiang Fengmian, she said: "Master Jiang, the folk customs here on our side, people who don't work have nothing to eat, hurry up and wash the vegetables with me." Without waiting for him to answer, he sent the muddy basket straight to his chest.

Jiang Fengmian didn't react to what she said for a while, only to see that the vegetable basket was hurriedly sent to his eyes, and then Xiliu's hand was about to let go, so he had to hurriedly hold the basket with both hands, so as not to overturn the vegetable basket, therefore, he didn't care about the soil on the basket, and his white clothes were stained and dirty.

Jiang Fengmian's face was a little heavier than before, and he was about to scold, when he heard Xiliu say first: "Master, you don't want to eat rice, why haven't you caught up yet, hurry up, it's too late to wash the vegetables and come back with the meat all boiled." ”

Jiang Fengmian was furious, what kind of madness did he have at that time, and he actually agreed to come to Xiliu Village with them.

I only remember that at that time, Ji Liu came to his yard to look for him for the first time, and then Xi Xun hurriedly ran over, and before Xi Xun could speak, Ji Liu pulled him aside and whispered: "Jiang Fengmian, when the girl will invite you to Xiliu Village, you must agree." ”

He was puzzled and asked, "Why should I say yes?" ”

Ji Liu replied: "If you don't agree, I will try my best to kill that little white dog, and see how late you will confess." ”
