Chapter 10

The newly bought bowl is much more delicate than the previous one, but this is not the point, the point is that Qingming Festival is here, and Cen Shen is going to take Xin Wu to visit the grave, but the wood is locked in the house.According to Cen Shen, he would not show Xin Wu until it was fully finished, and he would surprise Xin Wu when it was finished.

Ching Ming Festival has always been a festival for the living to worship their ancestors, and it is also common in this world.

In Xin Wu's impression, Qingming is always associated with rain. Who made the poem "It Rains During Qingming" too famous?But the day when Cen Shen took her out, the weather was clear and cloudless, which was a good day.

When people in Cenjia Village die, they will be buried in their ancestral graves. The ancestral graves are a place circled by the ancestors of the Cen family a long time ago, very close to the back mountain.The scenery there is beautiful, and I heard from the villagers that it is a geomantic treasure land, and that ancestors buried there can also protect their descendants.

There are several roads from the village to the ancestral grave. The main road is easy to walk, but the small road is difficult.Cen Shen and the others were walking on a small path, and there were not many people walking on the small path, and the weeds on it were not cleared, so the road was quickly crowded, and it was impossible for unfamiliar people to find a way in the grass.

People in the village all went out early in the morning to take the main road to the ancestral grave, and Cen Shen took the small road to avoid meeting them.It's nothing to meet, but they always like to gossip behind people's backs, and Cen Shen is too lazy to be with them.

And Cen Shen was not only going to the ancestral grave, he also had to burn paper and incense for other people.

Go straight along the main road at the entrance of the village, pass the ancestral hall and ethnology, then walk across the field and arrive at the first place Cen Shen is going to.

The old stone tablet was covered with dust, and the slightly raised tomb was not only covered with thatch, but also a willow tree grew out of it.The location of the grave is not very good, next to it is the field of people from other villages, and if you want to go to the grave, you have to step on it.

Putting down the straw paper and incense in his hands, Cen Shen took a rag and wiped the stele. The lettering on it became somewhat blurred under the wind and rain.

"This is my grandfather's grandfather. He is a Yanshi. Back then there were monsters in Xinye, and he couldn't bear it. He took a puppet made of peach wood and went out to get rid of the monsters. After the monsters were eliminated, he also died. I heard that he died a terrible death, with no bones left, and his soul scattered."

The stele is not very big and was quickly wiped clean.

Xin Wu hovered in the air, seeing Cen Shen talking, his mood became bad.

"The people who sent him back said that he died too badly and that he couldn't be buried in the ancestral grave. They buried him here, far away from the village."

It's spring now, and the farmers here are all planting rice, which hasn't been planted yet at this time.The fields were empty and there was nothing.Cen squatted on the ground burning paper, he took out a flint and steel from his pocket, and it clicked to catch fire, the flint and steel didn't work very well, and it took Cen Shen a long time to strike before sparks came out.

"When I was young, this was a wasteland. When I went to the grave a few years ago, the land below was reclaimed." Cen Shen stuffed paper into the fire that had just been lit, and pressed a few sticks of incense, making After finishing this, he knelt in front of the grave and knocked off three heads.

"Ah Wu also came to pay my respects. Although it's useless, it's good to ask for peace of mind."

Cen Shen greeted Xin Wu, who refused to leave, with a smile on his face that made people's hearts flutter for a moment.

How to discount a bird?

With Xin Wu's short legs and chubby figure, believe it or not, she will perform a somersault for you as soon as she lowers her head.

The field has just been turned over, and some small insects living in the soil have been turned over to the ground.Xin Wu, who was still very afraid of bugs, selectively landed on Cen Shen's shoulders, expressing some gratitude for Cen Shen's request to bow down.

To bow, all she needs to do is move her wings. Her wings are so short that even if they are stretched toward her chest, they can't touch each other, but that doesn't matter.After all, as long as the action of bowing is similar, it will be fine!

Grasping the clothes underneath tightly with his paws, Xin Wu tried his best to wave his wings, leaning his body forward, and the action of bowing was completed.

"Ah Wu is so good." The little chubby bird on the shoulder moved very slowly, for fear that he would accidentally fly off his shoulder.Cen Wu patted the little chubby bird on the head, stood up straight and watched the straw paper in front of the grave continue to burn.

In fact, he didn't have to watch the straw paper burn out, but now that the temperature has just warmed up, it is still the season when the sky is dry and the grass and trees are easy to catch fire.In order to avoid the consequences of burning a mountain in the last grave, he chose to wait until the straw paper was burned before leaving. Anyway, the wood was only one process away, and he had nothing to do.

The waiting time was not very long, and Cen Shen took the time to tear off the thatch on the grave mound. As for the willow tree, he didn't have any tools at hand, so he couldn't get rid of it for the time being.Bring an ax from home tomorrow and chop it up.

Speaking of which, there is a saying on their side that if a tree grows on the grave, the luck of future generations will become worse and some bad things will happen.Perhaps it is true and not groundless.

Moreover, the saying about the headless willow on the grave seems to be even more evil. Someone said last time that this is a harbinger of extinction.

"chirp"

Why are you in a daze again!There is still a long way to go, and it is a waste of time to be in a daze.

Xin Wu pecked at Cen Shen's earlobe, don't be in a daze, it's almost noon, let's leave early and get things done sooner.And didn't you say you still want to talk to your grandparents?

After the toilet paper was burned, only a few glowing red embers remained. The incense pressed on it prevented the remaining parts from being blown everywhere by the wind, and the weeds on the grave were torn apart.

Cen Shen picked up the basket on the ground, which contained the remaining toilet paper, incense, and a few bottles of wine.Before leaving, he even poured a glass of wine on the stone tablet, treating it as a treat for his ancestors to drink.

After walking out of the fields, the next thing they went to was the ancestral graves.

Cen Shen's grandparents were buried in the ancestral grave, his father's body could not be found, and the ancestral grave was a clothes tomb.It’s just that the locations are relatively remote. According to Mr. Feng Shui, although they are also in the blessed land, the location is so remote that there are not many blessings in the blessed land. The blessing here refers to the descendants who are still alive.

Cen Shen didn't think too much about it, he believed in monsters in the world, because he had seen real monsters, but he didn't really believe in ghosts and gods.The gods say it nicely, but has anyone actually seen the gods?Not to mention ghosts, how can a person become a ghost after death and dissipate between heaven and earth?

Since the ancestral grave was near the back mountain, the next path Cen Shen took was to pass through the mountain.Instead of climbing to the top of the mountain, it is enough to go around halfway up the mountain.

After walking behind Cen Shen for a while, Xin Wu felt a little familiar, as if this was the path that Cen Shen took her down the mountain.The road conditions were as bad as ever, and even the poor Xin Wu didn't want to comment on it anymore.

Cen Shen pointed to a small open space in front of him and said to Xin Wu, "Ah Wu, does this look familiar to you? This is where I saw you."

Of course it looks familiar!It's only been a few days, I have such a good memory, I must remember it!Xin Wu pouted, feeling that Cen Shen was underestimating her.Not only did she remember that this was the first place they met, but she also remembered that Cen Shen was a murderous and dangerous person, although he looked very gentle.
