readx;? Lin Yao's spirit was radiant! Looking at Lin Yao's appearance full of interest, Duanmuqi thought to himself: Innocent, Yao'er is a child after all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Over the years as a child, Lin Yao has heard many stories, but the story of "Chinese New Year's Eve" is the first time he has heard it. Regarding the legend of "Chinese New Year's Eve", Lin Yi knew it before but never told it to his son, because in Lin Yi's impression, this story is very rough, and there are wonderful stories recorded in books. Lin Yi really didn't expect that the story of this "Chinese New Year's Eve" could be said so detailed and vivid, and it was not funny.

Fang Fei listened to the story of this "Chinese New Year's Eve" so funny, and was also surprised, not surprised by his son's strange questioning, when telling stories to his son in the past, he often couldn't answer, thanks to Qi'er can cope with so light, resulting in fun.

At this moment, Fang Fei's mind came to mind, the scene of the stove horse in the shape of a cricket, carrying the life of the stove monarch and Xiao Nian through the clouds and fog, felt extremely magical.

The stove horse became famous because it was the mount of the stove king's order, and the stove horse became the nickname of the crickets active in the stove room. After thousands of years of breeding, although the stove horse has lost its spirit and majesty and has not become a spiritual pet again, it still looks special in the cricket group, and its large size and long legs can still be seen in comparison, but the excellent wings have now completely degenerated.

Due to the difference in morphology, "stove horses" have become the official name of these wingless crickets that live in the stove room. Later, there was an idiom called "clue traces" in human beings, and the "horse" traces in it refer to the traces left by the "stove horse" crawling over.

"Auntie continues!"

"The stove horse, carrying the order of the stove king and the little year, flew in the sky, and came to the place where 'Xi' often haunts before dark, and saw the figure of 'Xi' after a while. At this time, when he was about to go to the world to forage for food, he suddenly encountered the stove monarch Si Ming and Xiao Nian who fell from the sky, and under a little stunned, he put on a vicious posture without flinching. ”

"That monster 'Xi', but how did you know how powerful Xiao Nian is!"

Seeing that the stove monarch who had fought with it countless times came with a small child, it was extremely red-eyed and became more and more bold. Xiao Nian looked up at the huge 'Xi' on the back of the stove horse at this moment, clenched the fire-tipped spear in his hand, and dropped a sentence arrogantly: "Grandma Stove Jun, watch me clean it up." He jumped up, stepped on the red silk, and took the head of the monster 'Xi' with the fire-tipped spear in his hand. The monster 'Xi' saw that this little kid was coming, and he was not to be outdone, shaking his huge body, and directly collided with Xiao Nian. The distance was approaching in an instant, and the fire-tipped spear in Xiao Nian's hand swished, and the four corners on the top of the monster's 'Xi' head were cut off by three ...... in an instant."

"Okay!" Lin Yao knocked on the table excitedly.

"The monster 'Xi', which was only the one-horned, jumped like thunder, let out an earth-shaking roar, and slammed into Xiao Nian more and more fiercely. The distance was so close, Xiao Nian flexibly kicked on the bridge of the monster's nose, flew upside down with his strength, and immediately stabbed back with his hand, and the fiery spear pierced into the monster's left eye, so painful that it couldn't roar, and could only let out a scream and wail, and then the huge body fell down violently, and it was motionless......"

"Xi, was you stabbed to death by Xiao Nian like this?" Lin Yao nervously felt that he was still unsatisfied, and couldn't help asking.

Xiao Nian also thought that 'Xi' would die happily like this, so he carried a fire-tipped spear, stepped on the red silk, and turned around and flew towards the stove king. Seeing this, Zao Jun Si Ming shouted: "Nian, it is pretending to be dead, be careful." At this moment, the monster's huge body rolled violently and stood, pulling out its legs and running wildly without delay. At that moment, Stove Jun Si Ming was really in a hurry, for fear that the monster 'Xi' who pretended to be dead would desperately attack Xiao Nian, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw it burst out just to escape. ”

"That monster 'Xi' originally had four horns on his head, but now he has become a one-horned one-eyed, and he finally knows how powerful Xiao Nian is. "Lin Yao has a little pity for it, of course, there must be something hateful about poor things.

"That monster 'Xi' is an old treacherous and slippery, even though Xiao Nian is strong and very smart, but after all, he is young and shallow, and he doesn't know that 'playing dead' is a common trick used by beasts when they are in a weak position, so they were easily fooled, but fortunately there was no danger. Xiao Nian, who came to his senses, saw that the monster 'Xi' had fled, and immediately chased after him with a red silk, and the stove monarch who rode the stove horse quickly followed. The magic weapon red silk under Xiao Nian's feet flew much faster than the stove horse, and it was also faster than the galloping monster 'Xi', and gradually caught up, only to see Xiao Nian sacrifice the magic weapon red silk under his feet in time, and the red silk instantly tied up to the galloping monster 'Xi', and the result was ...... It's a pity that it escaped. ”

"Xiao Nian's magic weapon, Red Aya, is so powerful, why did he let that monster 'Xi' escape?"

"The body of the monster 'Xi' is too large, so that Xiao Nian's magic weapon Red Aya wrapped around but failed to bind it, and Xiao Nian stabbed it in the left eye with a fire-tipped spear, but only pierced its big eyeballs, but failed to hurt its big head melon seeds. ”

"What happened later? The monster 'Xi' escaped from the shackles of the magic weapon Red Aya, didn't Xiao Nian continue to pursue?"

"It's already nightfall, and when Xiao Nian stepped on the red silk and wanted to chase it again, the monster 'Xi' ran wildly into the mountains and forests, and soon disappeared. Besides, it was dark, and the stove monarch who hurriedly followed him would let Xiao Nian rush into danger, so he said: "Nian, I rushed to the heavenly court last night, and I haven't rested until now, and I am very tired. When Xiao Nian heard this, he dispelled the idea of rushing into the mountains and forests to continue the pursuit. ”

"Stove Jun Si Ming is also very treacherous!" Lin Yao grinned and sighed.

"Poof. Mingxiang and Nianyi couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Lin Yi and Fang Fei, who had heard too much of their son's strange tone, still smiled silently, while Duanmuqi was slightly stunned.

"Auntie, what's next?" Lin Yao's sharp eyes and mouth were very sharp.

"Zao Jun Si Ming understands the habits of the monster 'Xi', and is accustomed to acting in the evening, and it will inevitably come to the world when there is a shortage of food in the cold winter Layue Mountain and Forest. In the evening of the next day, Xiao Nian and Zaojun Si Ming, who had rested all day, flew in mid-air on the stove horse, condescendingly searching for the traces of 'Xi', and sure enough, they saw the figure of 'Xi' again. The monster 'Xi' also found the stove horse flying in the sky, and without waiting for the little year on the back of the stove horse to fall from the sky, he turned around and fled into the mountains and forests. The people in the nearby villages, who were frightened every day, learned that the monster 'Xi' was afraid of the little year with red silk on their feet, so they hung similar red cloth strips at the gate of their homes, and they finally slept more peacefully at night. In the next few days, the monster 'Xi' was not only chased by Xiao Nian and fled, but also ran away when he saw the red cloth, which shows that he was extremely afraid of fighting Xiao Nian after being traumatized, and of course it was difficult to have a chance to devour people and animals. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao couldn't help but think in his heart: The beasts that are congenitally lacking the soul of the earth do not have a clear understanding of pictograms, and although the people in these villages have a simple method, they are also a wonderful strategy.

Such a wonderful and simple method is not uncommon among the people, there are scarecrows standing everywhere in the farmland, and the birds cannot distinguish the real from the fake, so they dare not come down and steal the grain. Lin Yao couldn't help but sigh secretly: People, even ordinary villagers, are much more clever than monsters and the like!

All things in heaven and earth, the soul is complete is human beings, and this little wisdom has never been lacking. The wonder of the soul of the earth, the way of simplicity, can only be felt by human beings.

In an instant, Lin Yao noticed that his aunt's gaze was looking at him, and there were naturally no distracting thoughts in his heart.

"In the blink of an eye, it is the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and the monster 'Xi' was chased by Xiao Nian and escaped into the mountains and forests without a trace, according to the situation of the previous few days, the monster 'Xi' that will appear every evening will escape and hide back in the mountains and forests as long as he finds that Xiao Nian is still tracking it, so he will not dare to come out that night. Every day like this, Xiao Nian and Zao Jun Si Ming both felt that it was not a way after all, and the two of them who had no rut for a while rode the stove horse, hovering and soaring over the mountains and forests in the evening, looking down on the dark and quiet below. The night sky was lonely, and the stove Jun Si Ming and Xiao Nian suddenly heard the sound of 'boom', 'boom' and 'boom' faintly, and followed the prestige to see a place a little farther away, there was a fire. However, at that time, the people in the nearby villages didn't even dare to light the lights at night, for fear that the light would attract the monster 'Xi', so Zaojun Si Ming felt that the scene in front of him was abnormal, and naturally wanted to go over to find out. ”

"Auntie, is that someone setting off firecrackers?"

"Yes. Zao Jun Si Ming and Xiao Nian quickly came to the firelight, it was a bamboo forest, there was a group of people in the bamboo forest, they were using bamboo to make a fire to keep warm, and there was a loud sound of 'boom' 'boom' and 'boom' from time to time. The stove horse immediately landed, and the stove monarch took Xiao Nian to walk in front of those people, and asked bluntly: "You gather here to bake the fire, aren't you afraid to lure that monster over?" At this juncture, many of those people in the bamboo forest at that time were terrified, and even caused a commotion. ”

"Could it be that the monster 'Xi' was really lured over?"

"Really, that's when they saw the big crickets behind Stove Jun Siming and Xiao Nian. A faint smile appeared on Duanmu Qiqiao's face.

"Oh!" Lin Yao nodded, and said with a fluttering expression, "It is indeed strange and scary for a cricket as big as a stove horse to emerge from the dark night. ”

"When an old man saw the stove horse, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: 'Dare to ask the honorable driver, is it the order of the stove king?' The stove master replied, 'Exactly. The old man immediately announced to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, this is the stove horse, the mount of the stove king, and it is a spirit beast, not a monster." The frightened and uneasy expressions of everyone in the bamboo forest relaxed at this time. The old man said, "I have to meet the order of the stove tonight, and let me complain." The Stove Commander said, "Please speak." The old man also recalled: "A few months ago, that monster often came to our village, harming both livestock and people, and in desperation, the people of our village had to take refuge in this bamboo forest with their families. Zao Jun Si Ming listened, looked around at the bamboo forest and nodded gently. ”

"If you want to avoid that monster 'Xi', the bamboo forest is indeed an excellent place to go, no wonder the stove king will nod his head. ”

"How so?"

"The gap in the bamboo forest is narrow, but it can't accommodate the huge body of the monster 'Xi', and if the monster 'Xi' breaks in, there will be many obstacles, but people can easily drill in and out. Lin Yao talked very eloquently, "Don't underestimate the resilience of bamboo, it's enough to make that monster 'Xi' suffer." ”

"Yao'er is indeed very insightful about such magical things as bamboo!" Duanmuqi smiled and nodded, "I only heard the old man then say: 'In the evening, the monster Xi still found the bamboo forest from the village, and when it found us hiding in the bamboo forest, it rushed in, but fortunately, a clump of bamboo stuck it, and then it tossed and bruised all over its body. When it was difficult to succeed, the monster withdrew from the bamboo forest, but stayed at the edge of the bamboo forest all night until dawn. We estimated that it would come back the next evening, and sure enough, it reappeared on the edge of the bamboo forest the next evening, and watched over us until dawn, and then every day. In the blink of an eye, the night in the bamboo forest is already cold, so cold that we only have to cut bamboo and burn the fire to keep warm, but on that day, the monster left very abruptly without waiting for dawn, and then we burned the fire in the bamboo forest every night to keep warm, and we did not see it again. Hearing this quietly, Zao Jun Si Ming couldn't help but be slightly stunned. ”

"Haha!" Lin Yao suddenly laughed happily.

"Yao'er, why are you laughing?" Duanmuqi cast his eyes over.

"That monster 'Xi' has a huge body, but it is very timid, and it is afraid of the sound of firecrackers!" Lin Yao even twisted his chair happily.

"Hehe!" Duanmuqi was also happy.

"Auntie will go on. ”

"It was at this moment that Xiao Nian said: 'Could it be that the monster Xi is afraid of the sound of firecrackers?' Stove Jun Si Ming responded: 'Obviously yes!' The old man continued: 'Even if the monster Xi does not appear again, how dare we leave the bamboo forest at night, and it is difficult to offset the cold north wind blowing in the bamboo forest to keep warm, I really want to return to the village where there is a house to live in, this day is really sad!' Stove Jun Si Ming suddenly said: "I know that everyone has suffered. The old man said earnestly: "We are looking forward to it every day, and the Stove Jun Si Ming can get rid of the monster Xi as soon as possible, I heard that the Stove Jun Si Ming went to the Heavenly Court to ask for reinforcements, I don't know if you have been invited?" The old man was stunned and said, "He ......" At this time, Xiao Nian spoke again: "Grandma Zaojun, I have a way to deal with that monster Xi." 'Stove Jun Si Ming immediately asked, 'What is the best way?' Xiao Nian immediately said the idea he came up with, and Stove Jun Si Ming listened carefully and nodded in agreement. The old man saw that Xiao Nian's milk stinked and had not dried up, and he couldn't help but feel that it was a bit of a joke for the stove monarch to treat this matter. ”

"Ordinary people are ordinary people!"

"Hmph. Stove Jun decided to deal with the monster 'Xi' according to Xiao Nian's method, so he said to the old man: "From now on, everyone will not need to eat and sleep in this bamboo forest. The old man asked incredulously, 'What shall we do?' and the Lord of the Stove replied in his chest: 'You can go back to the village tonight, and each family will hang a red cloth at the gate to ensure that you can sleep peacefully.' Tomorrow I will cut more bamboo knots during the day and prepare for them, and in the evening they will set them off at the gate of our house, and then wait for the good news in the house. Although the old man had some doubts in his heart, he still led the people in the bamboo forest back to the village. ”

"What kind of way will Xiao Nian use to celebrate 'Eve'?

"On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the stove king ordered to run around the villages near the mountains and forests infested with the 'evening', and people were busy cutting bamboo joints, and the day was in a hurry, but it passed quietly. In the evening, there is no stove horse flying in the sky, and the villages are full of firecrackers, and only one direction is very quiet. This quiet direction, of course, also happens to be a village, and there are no red cloth strips hanging at the gates of every house, because Xiao Nian is ambushed here. ”

"Clever plan! The monster 'Xi' will definitely come from the direction of this village. ”

"Oh, how can you see that?" Duanmuqi looked at each other with interest.

"Who can't see such an obvious trap?" Lin Yao said without thinking, "Everyone can see it, but that monster 'Xi' will be fooled, so the magic is here." ”

"What's the reason for this?" Duanmuqi asked.

"You know. Lin Yao replied suddenly, "No matter how old and treacherous the monster 'Xi' is, it is still mentally incomplete after all, if the plan is too complicated, it will be difficult to achieve results, and the plan must be so simple and clear." ”

Duanmuqi couldn't help but look at Fang Fei and Lin Yi in astonishment when she heard this sonorous tone, and the three of them looked at each other for a while. No one thought that an eight-year-old child would have such an insightful view, and how could it not be surprising that he despised the monster's incomplete mind at such a young age.

In this situation, Lin Yao found that he was a little carried away with his high spirits.

"Auntie, go on!"

"The sun has set, and night has fallen, but I haven't seen the monster 'Xi' appear yet. The sound of firecrackers has also stopped, the villages have fallen silent, and people are all waiting in their houses, waiting with hope, waiting with great anxiety, when will there be good news for New Year's Eve?"

"That monster 'Xi' didn't appear in the evening, so nervous!" Lin Yao was also very impatient.

"Hehe, think about the sound of firecrackers in various villages in the evening, this is an unprecedented abnormal situation, it is estimated that the monster 'Xi' is scared enough even if it hides in the mountains and forests, don't you say that it is very timid? ”

"In this way, if it still appears as usual in the evening, it is not in keeping with its timid characteristic. ”

"That's true. ”

"If it doesn't appear tonight, then I can't figure out when it will appear, so I just waited, but it was a little difficult. ”

"Yao'er, what do you say we're doing?" Duanmuqi asked suddenly.

"Doing?" Lin Yao replied stunned, "We're listening to a story!

"It's not this!" Duanmuqi smiled like a flower.

"Oh! We're keeping the New Year, staying up for the New Year. Lin Yao came over suddenly.

"That's right! We are 'boiling' the New Year's Eve, and tonight the whole world is 'boiling' the New Year's Eve, which is the mood that people are waiting for on the night of the 30th New Year's Eve, the general 'boiling' mood. Duanmuqi explained meaningfully.

"Auntie, how long will it take for the monster to appear at night?" Lin Yao's anxious look was cute.

"Hmph. "Duanmuqi is also drunk," Nearly the second watch, the monster 'Xi' hiding in the mountains and forests finally quietly dispatched and cautiously walked in this quiet direction, but its body was so large and heavy that the ground trembled slightly, and Lao Yuan was sensed by the order of the stove king, and of course it was also heard by Xiao Nian's two erected ears. Seven days chased by Xiao Nian, the monster that has not eaten people and animals has been hungry for many days, and when he approached the village, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and in a blink of an eye he didn't find the red cloth strip in front of the village, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but suddenly noticed a familiar little figure, falling from the sky......"

"This can be caught by Xiao Nian. ”

"In an instant, Xiao Nian, who was lying in ambush on the roof, had stepped on the back of the monster 'Xi'. The monster was terrified when he landed, and fled in panic without bothering to turn around, and ran wildly over several rooms, causing chickens and dogs to jump, and all of them slipped away without stopping......

"Xiao Nian is on its back at the moment, why didn't he make a move?"

"When it ran to the open place, I heard Xiao Nian laugh and said, 'I see where you can escape!' quickly sacrificed a 'Mountain Moving Talisman', and immediately pinched the trick and recited the 'Mountain Moving Charm', and a small mountain appeared on the back of the monster 'Xi', and Xiao Nian stepped on the top of the hill. The treasure of this 'Mountain Moving Talisman' sacrificed by Xiao Nian is made of the 'Millennium Dragon Scale Bamboo', and its power is immeasurable. ”

"It turns out that in addition to the red silk and the fire-tipped spear, Xiao Nian also carries such magical treasures as the 'Mountain Moving Talisman'. Lin Yao held up his chin again and muttered, he really didn't expect it before.

"Xiao Nian kept chanting the spell, and the hill under his feet kept growing, and the monster 'Xi', who was carrying the 'mountain moving talisman', could still run, and gradually he couldn't even take a step. The small mountain grew into a big mountain, but the huge body of the monster 'Xi' became a small man in comparison, and finally it couldn't bear such an increased pressure and collapsed violently. In this way, 'Xi' was pressed by Xiao Nian's spell and was crushed to 'break' his bones under the big 'mountain', and he could no longer be 'troubled'. ”

Duanmuqi pauses, and the story ends here as if it ends but does not end, because the protagonist of Chinese New Year's Eve is Nian, and of course, there is an end of glory.

At this moment, it seems that all the noise, restlessness, excitement, shock, and tragedy are just a process, and in the end they will always return to tranquility.

"The big 'mountain' presses the 'night', which is also a 'year' word. Lin Yao said faintly.

"That's right, that is, the "year" of boiling the "year" and keeping the "year", the New Year's Eve "saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new", the old "shy" and "broken" go, and the new "year" comes. Duanmuqi responded leisurely, "Stay up for the year, because there is a 'year' to have a 'year', every year is every year, every year is more than every year, and every year is safe." ”

"Those who waited in the house that night should be so happy to learn the good news that Xi was eliminated by Xiao Nian!"

"Xiao Nian stepped on the top of the mountain like a mountain abyss, the stove monarch has come to the foot of the mountain, and the people who learned the news have come to the foot of the mountain one after another with torches. In the eyes of people looking up at that time, the small figure on the top of the mountain was so majestic, because he was the big hero of Chinese New Year's Eve. So when the big hero flew to the ground, people all came to see him with tears in their eyes, even though Xiao Nian was only an eight-year-old child, and he was also called 'big'. So Chinese New Year's Eve, also known as Chinese New Year's Eve, is the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"No wonder!" Lin Yao's eyes flickered and he smiled.

"What's the wonder?" Duanmuqi was a little curious.

About Zao-kun:

Some places think that it is a woman, some places think that it is a man, and some places think that it is a woman and a man, which is called the stove gong stove mother, that is, the stove king and the stove king grandmother. The information I have read about the god of the stove, although there are so many opinions, but the records of the earlier years seem to be a beautiful grandmother, and the general scholars think so, and the author's hometown stove Jun is also a woman.

About Xiao Nian:

In some places, it is said that the year is a hero, but there are also places where the legend is that the year is a monster. Nian is rumored to be a monster, and I personally think it should be a false rumor, otherwise it would be difficult to understand the New Year's greetings in the first month. I also think that there are two classic novel characters based on Nian, that is, Nezha and Red Boy, these two boys who both use fire-tipped guns, one is a human and the other is a demon, maybe it is the two sides of Nian that are legendary!

About Chinese New Year's Eve:

Southerners celebrate the 24th of the lunar month, northerners celebrate the 23rd of the lunar month, some are on the 25th of the lunar month, and some are on the 28th or 29th of the lunar month, which is the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Historical records record that the 23rd day of the lunar month is a small year, because the official Song Dynasty merged the 24th lunar month into the 23rd day of sending the stove to the king in order to streamline the festival, so I think the northerners may have a small year on the 23rd lunar month because of the official language, while the southerners have different tones and tones for ten miles, but they have quite consistently maintained the custom of celebrating the small year on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month.

Of course, no matter which day you celebrate the New Year, that feeling is the same, because the blood is connected to our common heroic ancestors.
