195. Burning tiles (2)
Ao Xiaoniu put down the mooncake, and his dark face turned red, like fried donkey poop eggs.
He asked Ao Muyang quietly: "Uncle Yang, did I come at the right time?"
Ao Muyang was too lazy to answer him, and the appearance of this naughty child was really unsatisfactory.
Ao Xiaoniu showed a worried expression, looking worried.
Seeing this, Ao Muyang said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, Teacher Lu and I just had a friendly hug. You didn't destroy us."
Ao Xiaoniu continued to worry: "No, Uncle Yang, I'm afraid of having needle holes? I saw you hugging Teacher Lu like that. Will I have needle holes?"
Ao Muyang wanted to fly him.
He patted Ao Xiaoniu on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't worry, you won't have needle holes, you will have hemorrhoids."
Ao Xiaoniu was shocked: "Why?"
Ao Muyang said: "Nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids, I can tell that you are a young man with hemorrhoids."
Ao Xiaoniu couldn't understand these words, was confused and worried.
Lu Zhizi heard it and smiled and said, "Don't scare him. Xiao Niu is timid. He is most afraid of getting sick."
"It's not that I'm timid, I'm not afraid of ghosts or snakes. I'm afraid of getting sick because it costs money to get sick, and my mother will be very scared." Ao Xiaoniu explained.
Lu Zhizi was stunned, then smiled sweetly: "Good boy, of course you won't get sick."
Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "It's just a joke. What do you mean by this? By the way, what did you say just now? When I first entered the door?"
Lu Zhizi patted her forehead and said, "I forgot about this. Come and go to put out the fire with me. On the way, I met a few children playing with fire at the intersection of the road, and asked me to criticize them. They ran away and the fire was still burning."
Ao Muyang asked, "What to play with fire? Should I put some tiles together and burn the wood?"
Lu Zhizi thought for a while and said, "It seems like, are you here?"
Ao Muyang looked cold and sweating: "Miss, that's our tradition of Hongyang. This is called burning tiles. Pieces of tiles are stacked to imitate the pagoda, and then put firewood and coal to ignite them."
Lu Zhizi was embarrassed: "Ah? Is this a custom?"
Ao Muyang smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, our local customs originated from a legend. There was a water monster in the sea that used to sleep on the bottom of the sea. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is lively, it will be awakened and then come out to harm people."
"Later, a monk learned about this. In order to subdue the sirens, he led his disciples and the people to build a tower by the sea. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household celebrated. When the sirens woke up, they seduced the sirens to wrap around the pagoda, and then lit the wooden pagoda and burned it to death..."
Lu Zhizi smiled and said, "Then I'll talk to them and let them continue playing."
Ao Xiaoniu interrupted, "Teacher Lu, don't have to say that if the teacher is not here, they will run back and continue playing."
Ao Muyang bought an oven and baked cakes, snacks and mooncakes by himself. He wrapped some of them to Ao Xiaoniu and handed them over, saying, "Here, take them back to give your mother a taste of Uncle Yang's craftsmanship."
Ao Xiaoniu took a deep breath and shouted: "Uncle Yang must be good at craftsmanship, it's so fragrant, Uncle Yang, why is your mooncake so fragrant?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "It's not that Uncle Yang has good skills, but because they have just been released, the freshly baked snacks are the best. Go home and eat them."
Ao Xiaoniu ran out happily with a bag. The general's eyes turned, and then followed.
When Ao Xiaoniu ran out of the door, the general accelerated to stop him, and then sat in front of him in a big way.
Ao Xiaoniu wanted to go around, but the general moved his butt and continued to block in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Ao Xiaoniu stared at it with wide eyes.
The general swept the bag in his hand with his little black eyes. Why do I want to do?
Ao Xiaoniu understood, but the dessert in his hand was fragrant. He had never tasted the dessert mooncake that smelled so fragrant since he was a child, so he couldn't bear to give it to the general.
The general stopped him and refused to leave. Ao Xiaoniu turned around and ran to Ao Muyang's house to complain. The general went up and bit his pants and grabbed him tightly.
Ao Xiaoniu shouted: "Let go, General, bite my pants and I will beat you to death!"
The general does not let go.
In this way, Ao Xiaoniu had no choice but to pick the smallest mooncake and hand it to the general.
The general was overjoyed, and Ao Xiaoniu couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the mooncake and took it hard and took a big bite.
This made the general very dissatisfied. He ate half of the mooncakes in one bite!
Ao Xiaoniu acted as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water: "That's all, do you eat it? If you don't eat it, I will eat it myself!"
The general rolled his eyes and went up to take away the mooncakes. Ao Xiaoniu picked up the bag and ran away quickly.
Holding the mooncake in his mouth, the general went to find the head of state, bite it in half, ate half by himself, and gave it to the head of state.
Ao Muyang made a cheesecake himself. When the moon rose, he cut the cake and mooncakes, served dishes and drinks, and sat down in the yard.
Lu Zhizi was anxious: "Why did you cut the cake? I want to light a candle and make a wish."
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "You keep your wish first. I will take you to the Burning Wa place later, and everyone will make wishes there."
The weather is very good this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon hangs like silver plates on the night sky, and the silver light spreads over the ocean and the earth, making it bright everywhere.
After dinner, they went to the street. There were people burning tiles at each intersection. At the entrance of the village near the sea, there were the most tiles and the highest accumulation. The two went together.
When he arrived, Lu Zhizi crossed her hands against her chin and closed her eyes and began to make a wish.
The flames were beating, and the red light shining the female teacher's skin was rosy, her expression was quiet and her face was pious.
Ao Muyang clasped his hands together and perhaps made a wish. This was the first time he had burned his tile and made a wish after his parents disappeared into the ocean.
I hope you will be well in another world, and I will live well, he thought silently in his heart.
Mid-Autumn Festival ends and autumn becomes stronger.
When I woke up in the morning, Ao Muyang stood outside the door and looked out. The autumn dew had not yet fallen, but morning mist appeared on the sea, and a faint mist floated on the sea surface, slowly floating with the sea breeze.
Ao Muyang was about to go out to sea, and Ao Daguo suddenly said, "Longtou, why haven't you seen a scholar for several days?"
Ao Mubing said, "He hasn't been in the village these days. He hasn't been at home for the holiday yesterday."
Ao Qianpan smiled and said, "Didn't he go to find his young wife? Did he stay at his young wife's house? He was detained? He became a son-in-law?"
Ao Daguodao: "When talking nonsense, just Qian Yao's couple, can they call their son a son-in-law? Even the daughter of a high-ranking official is not enough."
"The daughter of a high-ranking official is not good?" Ao Qianpan was about to refute, and Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, what's there to argue about? I'll call and ask."
He called and the ringing rang for a while. Just when he thought no one answered, the call was answered: "Hey, head."
Ao Muyang asked, "Hey, Wenchang, why haven't you seen you for several days?"
Ao Wenchang smiled bitterly: "Oh, things have not been resolved, and things are not easy to deal with."
