I really don't want to be a teacher

In an instant, Hu Xianshou didn't care about anything, and hurried forward to block the wind with his things and body.

"call……"

When the wind calmed down again, Hu Xianshou heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the scented wax still burning in front of him, he couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat,

"All uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles... please take care of my mother, don't let anyone blow out that candle..."

"...When I go to my mother's grave in the Qingming Festival, I can show you some more filial piety."

Hu Xianshou squatted down and continued to burn paper money and incense.

……

While Hu Xianshou was fighting wits and courage with the air,

On the other side, Lian Ge also followed the winding mountain road, went down the mountain, and walked towards Hu's house.

"Master Lian."

As soon as he entered the yard, Uncle Xu came up with someone.

Lian Ge nodded, and led the two of them towards the table in the courtyard.

"Please take a look at the place where the water is, how about it?"

Taking a disposable paper cup, I poured myself a glass of water, and after taking a sip, Lian Ge asked directly,

"The master said that the river at the entrance of the village has been visited. The river is not small. It is the boundary between the mountain village and the neighboring village. It should be able to ask for water."

Uncle Xu replied,

"This is the road in the village. I drew a simple sketch. Master Lian, please take a look."

As he spoke, Uncle Xu handed Lian Ge a simple map of the roads in the mountain village.

Seeing this, Lian Ge nodded, took it, and cast his eyes on the simple map in his hand.

"Uncle Xu, your craftsmanship is good." Lian Ge looked at the simple but clear circuit diagram in his hand, and praised,

"It's okay, that's all. Master Lian, if you want me to draw more complicated things, I can only draw them crookedly." Uncle Xu waved his hand,

"Master Lian, you see, when we go out to get water in the afternoon, where should we get it from?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge continued to look at the road map of the mountain village in his hand.

The so-called asking for water is a funeral ceremony in Shu or a wider area.

One of its taboos or characteristics is that it is not allowed to go back and forth in the process of asking for water.

There must be one way out and another way back.

"Let's go out from here, then cross the river to get water from here, and then follow the river to come back from here."

Lian Ge stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the sketch along the route leading to the river at the entrance of the village with the Hu family as the leader.

"Okay, Master Lian, then shall I go and tell the master?" Uncle Xu nodded his head.

"Yes." Lian Ge nodded, and then continued,

"In addition, the cemetery of the old lady of the Hu family has been selected. When Mr. Hu comes back later, Uncle Xu, you can arrange a few people to help dig it."

"Okay, Master Lian."

Chapter 42

"Filial children, filial grandsons, filial nephews and filial daughters, all put on filial piety..."

"clang……"

"Xiao'er stepped forward and held up the spiritual tablet."

...It's the day, four o'clock in the afternoon.

Following the custom, all the members of the Hu family wore sackcloth and filial piety. Under the leadership of Lian Ge, they either held the coffin, or held the mourning flag and mast, stepped out of the gate of the Hu family's courtyard, and began the ceremony of asking for water.

Although I watched the old man do it many times when I was young, it was Lian Ge's first time to host it myself.

Along the way, the continuous team played funeral music, burned paper at every turn, and fired cannons at every bend.

Every time a section of road is passed, the residents on both sides of the road will hear the sound and close their doors early to avoid 'collision'.

Finally, accompanied by the sound of gongs and mourning music, and the sound of firecrackers, the group finally reached the bridge.

"stop!"

Uncle Xu next to Lian Ge shouted loudly, and the team stopped in an instant, and the mourning and music quieted down.

"Light it up, Uncle Xu." Lian Ge glanced at the river in front of him and said calmly,

"Don't you need to do another ritual?"

Uncle Xu was a little puzzled, so he couldn't help asking,

"No need, set off a firecracker, then go to the river to get some water, and then we can go back."

Lian Ge shook his head and replied,

As he expected, this water request ceremony is useless except to increase the sense of ritual.

"Okay. Then I'm going to fetch water?" Although Uncle Xu was still a little puzzled, he didn't continue to ask.

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded.

On the side, Uncle Xu also signaled the people beside him to light the cannon, and then he took a plastic bottle and started to fetch water.

"Crackling... crackling..."

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the smoke began to disperse.

Lian Ge then turned around and looked at the people behind him,

"Come here."

The crowd behind him then gathered towards Lian Ge,

"Where's the candy?" Lian Ge turned around and looked at Uncle Xu's man.

"Master Lian, here."

A middle-aged man opened the plastic bag he was carrying and handed it to Lian Ge.

"Filial children, filial daughters, filial daughters-in-law and filial grandsons are all taken care of..."

Lian Ge grabbed the candy in the plastic bag, skipped the complicated ceremony of asking for water, and entered the last step - loose candy.

"A handful of sugar, a bit of sweetness, the future generations will be rich and have land... Crash..."

To say auspicious words, Lian Ge directly sprinkled on the stretched hem of the clothes stretched out by the crowd.

"There are melons, fruits and sugar, and the future generations are full of blessings... Crash..."

……

While distributing sugar, Lian Ge waited for Uncle Xu who had gone to get water to come back.

Finally, when he scattered the peanut melon seed candies and some coins in his pocket, Uncle Xu finally returned to the bridge with a plastic bottle filled with river water.

"The ancestors sprinkled a handful of money, and the future generations will be envied by everyone... blah blah..."

After throwing out the last bit of coins, Lian Ge stopped,

"Light the wax, light the incense, light the cannon..."

Lian Ge turned around and said to Uncle Xu and the others,

moment,

"Crackling..."

Firecrackers sounded again,

"Let's be happy... let's go!"

"Clang~"

The sound of mourning music followed, and the team, led by Lian Ge, moved again and began to walk along the river and return to Hu's house by another road.

……

It's night, Hu's yard.

After asking for water and having a simple dinner, night fell completely.

The courtyard is illuminated by several large wattage bulbs, which are still as bright as day.

After Lian Ge finished his meal, he went back to the table next to the yard again, drawing the needed talisman seals.

In the middle of the courtyard, the nephew of the old lady of the Hu family is kneeling, and is completing the traditional funeral ceremony under the leadership of Uncle Xu.

"...Did Mrs. Hu have any injustices during his lifetime?"

"Snapped!"

"There is no injustice!"

"Do you have a sharp tongue?"

"Snapped!"

"Never have."

"may have……"

…Uncle Xu was wearing a yellow Taoist robe, and when he asked a question, he threw a hexagram on the ground, and at the same time there was someone beside him to answer his questions.

"There is no wrongful debt, so why are you trapped outside Fengdu City, unable to cross the Naihe Bridge?"

"Crack...crack..."

"Although there is no injustice, but I have also suffered from karma..."

"The general in front of Fengdu really refuses to let him go?"

"I don't want to."

"The mage must break through this Fengdu city..."

"Will the filial son and grandson of the Hu family be willing to venture into the underworld?"

"A filial son and a filial grandson are naturally willing."

"If you want, take the staff and go to the gate of the underworld now."

"Going right now?"

"Going right now!"

……

Uncle Xu stretched out the Zen stick in his hand, and signaled the people behind to hold the Zen stick, and then the people behind pulled one by one, forming a spreading procession in the yard.

Beside the courtyard, Lian Ge, who had just finished drawing a talisman seal, looked up at the people in the courtyard, and couldn't help smiling.

It's not that Uncle Xu is funny, but the music that is accompanied by it is really funny.

"Just captured a few demons,

A few more demons were brought down.

There are so many demons and demons!

(Monster, eat my old grandson!)..."

Accompanied by this music, Uncle Xu was holding a Zen staff and leading a group of people behind him, and he was circling around several piles of paper money and circles of lime in this yard,

"Just climbed a few mountains,

A few more rivers were crossed.

There are so many bumps and bumps!

(Bai: My grandson is going too! Ah~~~)"

at last,
