Chapter 1205 Qingming Festival Ceremony
Affected by the global climate, the winter of 2018 in the North was cold and frosty, and it was rainy again after the new year. The Qingming Festival did not escape the rain. There were several showers during the Cold Food Festival. Qingming Festival It rained one after another since early morning, and it stopped after a while after dawn.
The rain finally stopped, and people in the city and countryside went to visit the tombs one after another. The Le family's family of four also brought items for ancestor worship and went up the mountain to visit the tombs with the Zhou family.
Naturally, the big wolf dog had to follow the little sister, leaving handsome guy Yan and handsome guy Lan to look after the house. The two of them watched the big wolf dog jumping happily and running away with Lejia's tricycle. Yan Xing secretly grinded his teeth, humming, he wouldn't have given it away if he had known better. Black Dragon has come to Lejia. With Black Dragon, his status has plummeted. He is simply shooting himself in the foot.
The big wolf dog didn't know that Captain Yan was jealous of him, and he would be happier if he found out. Anyway, he was now a member of the little sister's family, and no one wanted to take him away. He decided to stay with the little sister.
The elder sister controlled Leshan and hung it on her sister's back and chest as a pendant. After climbing up the mountain, the Le family and the Zhou family separated and each went to worship their ancestors. Under the guidance of her elder sister, Leshan followed her elder sister to give sacrifices to her grandparents, great-grandfather and great-grandmother. And only the aunt at the tomb offers incense and kowtows.
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors of the Le family, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng took his son to visit Le Shan's grandfather's grave. Le Yun naturally followed for the safety of her younger brother and the two elders. The family worshiped Le Shan's grandfather without waiting for everyone in the Zhou family. , go down the mountain and go home first.
Others are sweeping tombs to worship their ancestors. The Huang family, a prominent family in Shishi, is still making preliminary preparations for the family's annual Qingming Festival. Some people outside the country rush back to their place of residence on the Qingming Festival to help kill pigs and sheep. Make dishes and rice for tomorrow’s dinner, and sacrifices for tomorrow’s grave.
As always, the first thing everyone in the Huang family does when they return to the clan area, whether they are in the city or returning from abroad, is to drink a bowl of water from the family well and wash their face and brush their teeth with the well water to get rid of bad luck and pray for good luck. Get protection from ancestors.
Huang Zhichang has not returned to his family yet, because on the Qingming Festival, the government organized to lay wreaths at the martyrs' tombs and monuments to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives in E-North, to preach and pass on spiritual civilization to the next generation.
After the public event, Huang Zhichang took the train back to Shishi at around 5 p.m., and it was already after 9 p.m. when the train arrived at Shishi. He met up with the Huang family members who were waiting to pick up the bus at the station, and was taken back to the family by a special car.
The elders of the Huang family did not rest, waiting for the old gentleman to come back. When the old gentleman returned to the family, the old men immediately went to fetch water from the well for the old lady to drink, waited on the old lady to wash his face, and mixed the boiled well water with cold water for the old lady to take a bath.
A group of the most eloquent people from the Mao and Zhen generations waited on the old man after his bath, made tea, served snacks and supper, reported the ancestor worship schedule and arrangements to the old man, and went to bed after eleven o'clock.
That night, everyone in the Huang family slept peacefully, especially the Mao generation, because the old man showed no signs of being angry, so they felt a little more at ease.
One night passed, and it dawned on the 6th, which was also Saturday. It was still a rainy day, and there was still drizzle in the sky in the early morning.
After getting up, the young and old of the Huang family were busy for a while, having dinner in the ancestral hall compound, and then sorting out the sacrificial objects again. They set off at the auspicious time. The young people carried a pig, a sheep, dozens of roosters, and things for ancestor worship. Incense candle paper money.
In order to prevent the risk of forest fires, firecrackers are prohibited in many places. The Huang family has political personnel, so they are naturally the first to respond to prevent people from catching their pigtails. Therefore, there are no firecrackers in the list of ancestor worship items, but there are fireworks.
The Huang family, old and young, went to sweep the tomb together. There were at least 400 people. Such a large team was so impressive that when they walked towards the tomb, if they had seen it for the first time, they would have thought it was a tourist team.
Mr. Yi, who put on makeup, went to the city yesterday. During the day, he found out the route from Huang's family to Fenshan and the situation around Fenshan. On the morning of the 6th, he calmly wandered around the road that Huang's family must pass.
He was carrying a men's bag and sacrificial supplies. Some grave sweepers thought he was going to sweep the grave, and no one paid any attention to him.
Mr. Yi didn't wait long on the road before he saw the huge team of the Huang family. He walked slowly to the wider road leading to the graveyard. When the Huang family passed by, he first stepped aside. When the Huang family's team passed by, He pretended to be tired from walking, stood for a moment to catch his breath, and quietly blended into the group further back.
At the back of Huang's team are the side branches and some people who have done nothing much. They are all the tail-ends of the crane. So, if you catch someone and throw him in front of the Huang family, it is guaranteed that no one will have an impression, let alone call him by his name.
In particular, there was still a little drizzle in the sky. Many young women held umbrellas, some elderly people wore bamboo hats, and some wore raincoats. Almost no one looked at anyone's face seriously. Moreover, there were also sons-in-law and grandsons of the Huang family in the team. Even if they showed up. No one doubts one or two relatively unfamiliar faces.
Besides, we are still on the road, so we can’t let others go, or we must wait for our family to pass by before letting others go, right? Even if there are other people mixed with the family members, no one will say anything. Anyway, everyone on the mountain Everyone sweeps his own grave.
Mr. Yi mingled with the crowd for a while and then took out his raincoat and put it on himself. Now, others would not pay attention to him.
The Huang family's ancestor-worshiping team stretched out very long. The people in the front arrived at the cemetery of the ancestors of the Huang family, while the people behind were still climbing the mountain. Those who arrived first placed the sacrifices in front of the tombstones of the ancestors, burned incense first, and then burned paper money. Put paper money offerings in the pit.
Everyone must light incense sticks and put paper money into the money pit. After putting the paper money, they stand aside. Only those who can speak in the family stand at the front. The people at the back climb to the graves of their ancestors. The caller had almost done what he was supposed to do, and the people behind him went to light incense and put paper money and then stood back.
The cemetery of the ancestors of the Huang family is very large, but there is still no room for the whole family to stand, and some people stand around.
After completing the necessary process, the young people killed sheep, pigs and chickens, poured blood on the cemetery, and also poured blood on paper money and wine bowls. Then they cut off the pig's head and offered it as an offering. The whole clan bowed three times. , after that, the old ladies and gentlemen of the Huang family took turns pouring wine.
The older generation poured wine, burned paper money and set off fireworks.
The old ant who was mixed in the crowd bowed to the deceased in a dignified manner, thinking that he was apologizing in advance. When the young people lit up the fireworks, his hand hidden in the raincoat quietly took out the contents of the bag and put them in his hand. Amidst the sound of fireworks exploding, I pressed the buttons of the three remote controls in my hand.
Two of the three remote controls were active at the time, but one did not respond. He had to pretend that his feet were slipping and slid down. Then he felt that the place he was standing on was not very good. He stood a little higher and pressed the remote control again amidst the sound of fireworks. , the remote control responds when pressed for the second time.
After finishing what he had to do, Mr. Yi stuffed the remote control back into his backpack, fastened the zipper, and counted the time in his mind, secretly preparing for a complete retreat.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... When he silently counted to twenty seconds, with the "bang bang" sound of fireworks rising into the sky, the floors of the two tombs shook, and the bluestone tombstone and floor were exploded by a powerful shock wave. Stones of all sizes flew into pieces. Because the power of the "fireworks" was not weak, the sacrifices were blown to pieces. Porcelain and glass cups were broken, and fragments flew everywhere.
The huge muffled sound and the sound of fireworks sounded at the same time. The young and old of the Huang family did not react at all. Before they realized what happened, the people at the front were staggered by the shock wave. At the same time, they were also attacked by broken stones and monuments. Screams suddenly started.
When the super fireworks exploded, Mr. Yi, who had been well prepared, pretended to be shaken and could not stand upright, so he fell down and rolled down. He not only knocked down several people, but also tripped several others. He rolled down the slope with several others, howling as he rolled. .
As soon as the old man rolled, he rolled to the grassy slope next to the tomb of the ancestor of the Huang family. He pretended to get up but couldn't. He secretly pierced the blood bags on his arms and thighs, and then "struggled" He got up and opened his raincoat to check. His left arm and right leg were covered in blood.
The location of the Huang family ancestors’ cemetery is very good. The place with good feng shui is certainly not too dangerous. The cemetery is located on a slight slope, but it is not too steep. Several of the Huang family members who rolled down were blocked by things in the middle, or the slope was gentle. He stopped at the right place without any injuries.
Two people also rolled to the tombstones on the second floor of the ancestral grave like Mr. Yi. Some were bruised and some were bruised. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious and they could still get up. However, due to the dense crowd in front of the Huang family's ancestral grave
, The people in front of the tomb were the first to be hit by a wave of gravel, and the people behind were not spared. Some were also hit by flying objects. Coupled with the shock wave, the people in front of the tomb were knocked away and knocked down. He fell to the ground, his legs were weak and he fell down, and he fell in a large area all of a sudden.
The howls, the cries of children and women, the shouts of men, were endless.
Those sounds spread in all directions in the aftermath of the explosion. However, before people in the distance could think about what happened at the Huang family cemetery, the bluestone tablet of the second ancestor of the Huang family was also blown to pieces by a huge force, which was like thunder. In the loud noise, thick smoke and powder rushed into the sky, and gravel flew everywhere.
The second shock wave was not weak either, knocking down those who had not fallen down or who were just trying to stand up again, and also threw the nearest people away.
The screams at the scene echoed for hundreds of meters.
The old man who had just checked his "injury" saw someone rolling towards him and quickly moved to the side. When the person rolled not far from him, he kindly moved over to help him. When I helped him, I found that the guy was a young man with no serious injuries. Only his palms and face were scratched. The injuries were not serious, but the blood was real, covering half of his face.
The old man was fine. He checked that the young man was okay. He stood up, dragged his legs full of blood, and limped to the Huang family's ancestral grave to "save people." When he looked closer, he saw that the Huang family's repairs were better than Several holes were made in the ancestral tombs where people lived in decent houses, and large parts of the tomb walls with porcelain walls collapsed.
In front of the tomb with floor tiles, there are "corpses" lying in random directions on the ground. Some are howling, some may have fainted, and there is no movement at all. Some people are randomly looking for their loved ones, and some are checking. The injured, cries and calls of names were intertwined.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke after fireworks and firecrackers went off.
Uh...
To be honest, Mr. Yi was also shocked. The little girl's move was really exciting. He felt that some people should be lucky that the little girl didn't want to catch everyone in one go. Otherwise, she would have circled around the grave and buried them all. A circle of fireworks is enough to raze someone's ancestral grave to the ground for several miles.
After being shocked, he started to rejoice in others' misfortune. Oops, the ancestral graves have been dug up. Now let's see how arrogant the old bastard is! Bullying his little disciples and bullying little girls is not like a dung beetle entering the hut - looking for dung (death).
He doesn't think the little girl is too much. No matter what age you are, you must be tough when you need to be tough, and you must fight back when you need to fight back. Otherwise, everyone will think you are easy to bully and will step on you.
The little girl vented her anger on her younger brother, which meant venting her anger on her little disciple. Elder Yi felt extremely comfortable and enthusiastic about saving people.
There were two loud noises in succession from the Huang family's ancestral tomb, as well as the howling of ghosts and wolves. People who were sweeping the nearby tombs ran to the Huang family's ancestral tomb to see what was going on. Those who were closer arrived first, and those who ran closer to see the situation were shocked. Well, isn't it just setting off fireworks? How could it be like this?
The Huang family's ancestral tomb is tall, wide and large, almost overshadowing the tombs on the entire tomb hill. There was a family whose tomb was also well-built and had good feng shui. However, because it was located above the Huang family's ancestral tomb, it was People of the Huang clan believed that the feng shui suppressed their family's ancestral tombs, so they secretly destroyed the tombs of other families, forcing people to move their tombs. The families who did not move their tombs also had no choice but to do so because the Huang family was so powerful, even though they knew it was the Huang family. admit.
Now seeing the disaster of the Huang family, several families close to the Huang family's ancestral graves just feel extremely relieved. Evil will be punished, and some families have finally suffered retribution!
Several families left quietly, but some still couldn't bear it and called the police, helped the injured bandage their wounds, helped the injured down the mountain, or helped carry the injured.
The person with the most say in the Huang family is at the front, and he is also the one who has suffered the most serious damage. One of the Mao family members has died of anger, Huang Zhichang is unconscious, and his life or death is unknown at the moment. There are also several people whose life and death are unknown, and several more. If a vital part is injured by a stone or porcelain, it is likely to be a disaster.
Huang's immediate family members who were slightly or moderately injured were almost heartbroken. They endured the pain and rescued the old man and the old man first. They carried and carried the family's pillars down the mountain and sent them to the hospital first.
People in the Huang family supported each other or walked down the mountain with the help of others.
Mr. Yi also helped a wounded man down the mountain. When most of the wounded walked down the mountain with difficulty, ambulances and police station vehicles also arrived. The police officers sent a group of people up the mountain to maintain the scene, and some of them helped treat the wounded.
The Huang family put the old man and the seriously injured people into the ambulance first, while the others either walked or hired cars to take them to the hospital.
Mr. Yi, who was mixed in the crowd, put the person he was supporting into a car and mixed in with the people helping him. When others asked, he just said that the blood was someone else's blood. He went to find water to wash it, and waited until he found someone with water. The blood stains were washed away in the place. Many people either went to the mountain to see how the police officers dealt with the scene or left. No one paid attention to him. He calmly walked along the road at the foot of the mountain and bypassed the graveyard, and only met the graveyard when he reached the other side of the mountain. Going in the opposite direction.
