Chapter 164 Lantern riddle of Duke Lantern Festival
The Lord of the Stove Star is worth three days, and the talent of the Lord of the Stove increases.
Zhou Ba Wa has been playing a cracked version of the secular game these days, picking up rubbish like a bandit with high intensity. He picked up more than a dozen temple building materials in three days in Xicheng and Mourning City.
The harvest amount has doubled several times, but unfortunately, the quality of the temple building materials obtained is very average, and they are all in the low-rating range of ordinary products, fine products, and fine products. Zhou Ba wax built these materials into two body temples
.
The size of the funeral temple has been upgraded to a half-scale.
There are two body temples unfolded in Zhou Ba Wa, one temple is mournful and the wind is howling, and the other temple is festive and joyful, so you can appreciate and play with it.
There are two small worlds in the palm of your hand, just like two small ecological tanks with different environmental layout styles. The temple owner can play with the decorations in the tank just like the creator.
Zhou Bachu was adjusting the placement and configuration of the body temple, when he suddenly felt someone behind him looking around. He turned around and saw that the other person was sitting upright and maintaining his dignity, "Ah, you are just doing your thing, it's okay."
Several times like this, Zhou Ba wax took out a dirty one from Taotie's stomach bag and gave it to him. His father took it and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Zhou Bazhu’s own son doesn’t know about the hobbies of the old man in the family. In fact, he mentioned this to my mother on the phone before the holiday, and this is what we have done. (Chapter 109)
Zhou Bazhu gave his father a secular god, a mockingbird, and taught him how to play and raise him. The old man at home was very happy to get a new gadget. It was very fresh. He held it and tinkered with it all day long and never let go. My mother called him to eat every day.
Not moving.
Of course, playing with secular gods is a hobby for the old man of the Zhou family, which is obviously different from young people like Zhou Bashi, Lin Yujing and others who are well-trained and want to make a career in the future.
Let’s look at my mother who is completely uninterested. From the small family of Zhou Baqu, we can see the impact of new industries on the domestic social structure and people of different age groups.
Without further ado, for the next ten days or so, Zhou Ba was in the real world enjoying his vacation and waiting for school to start. He was also exploring maps and picking up rags in the secular world. The year was gradually passing by.
In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
As the old saying goes, the fifteenth day is the beginning of the new year. Even if the new year has passed and everyone resumes work and production for the new year, there will not be much left in the winter vacation in Zhou Ba wax.
In the past ten days, Zhou Baxi's exploration in the secular world has been mediocre, and he has made nothing every day. I don't know if it is because of the previous three days of excessive overdraft of the main value of the Kitchen Star, and the retaliatory rebound and impotence.
"You sneaked into the boudoir of a yellow-flowered daughter of a family in Xicheng, and were discovered by the whole family. You were beaten to death with sticks."
"You are dead."
Zhou Ba wax had nothing to gain today, so he turned off the game. Just when his mother asked him to deliver some glutinous rice balls to relatives in the city, he rode a Wan Gong motorcycle and went to the city.
Zhou Jiuling, who was doing homework during the winter vacation, overheard this and hurriedly picked up the work and followed her. It was obvious that her purpose was not pure. She did not want to stay at home to do homework, but wanted to go out to play. Zhou Baqu took her to deliver goods to relatives, and her true colors were revealed.
, clamoring to drop by the lantern riddle temple fair in the city.
There are lion dances and dragon dances, men walking on stilts, and gods being carried on beams. The trees in the temple fair park are covered with lanterns with riddles hidden in them.
"Master, please bless me and I will have a smooth exam this year."
Zhou Jiuling, wearing a small cotton-padded jacket, clapped her hands and bowed in front of the Confucius statue in the Confucian Temple, and offered a piece of Wangwang snow cake to Wen Shengye to bless her success in the college entrance examination this year.
Zhou Ba Wa was next to her, eating a box of Baoduer that he had just bought from a street stall, puffing out his cheeks and saying, unable to stop his wicked mouth:
"You're such an old man, if you give me a hard cake and your teeth fall out, then you won't be able to pass the college entrance examination?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Shred your mouth, tear it to pieces." Zhou Jiuling beat the evil brother Zhou Bashi on the arm, and he was annoyed to death.
After worshiping the "God of College Entrance Examination", Zhou Jiuling took Zhou Bawa to guess lantern riddles and took Wenhu Guesser from the tree.
The lantern riddles are all very simple oral riddles. If you guess correctly, you can redeem some small rewards. They are done in the streets and communities. They are usually snacks such as Tangdun chewing gum. They are not valuable. They are to create a festive atmosphere. In the early years, the rewards were eggs, soap and towels.
, and later it was changed to this because it attracted too many bargain-hunting aunties and old ladies to participate.
"Half full and half empty, type a word."
Zhou Jiuling and her elder brother were holding up the lantern riddles they had just picked. Zhou Ba was too lazy to take care of them. Looking at the age of the people playing next to the lantern riddles, the three of them together were not as old as Zhou Jiuling. She had found her class.
However, just after Zhou Jiuling guessed the lantern riddle, Zhou Bashi's childish eyes collapsed, and he caught a glimpse of something abnormal out of the corner of his eye.
What an expert saw was that after guessing the lantern riddles, a beam of blessed light suddenly fell from the lantern and fell on Zhou Jiuling.
"The blessing of the Lord of Yuanxiao (1 year). The Lord of Yuanxiao likes children who like to guess riddles and use their brains. Children who guess the lantern riddles left by the Lord of Yuanxiao will receive the blessing of the Lord of Yuanxiao, and the blessing will protect them from diseases and disasters for a year."
Zhou Ba Wa turned his head and looked around again. In the eyes of experts, many of the children brought by their parents to guess riddles seemed to have received such blessings.
"You obtained the information about Duke Yuanxiao, which was triggered by Jingui from the stone chamber, and you obtained information about some of the documents that the incense burning girl had read."
"Yuanxiao Gong was one of the twenty-four people who once worshiped the stove. He did good deeds and did not care about the future. He built a system of temples for good luck and fortune. He was good at blessings of good luck and especially liked riddles."
"It is recorded in the literature that before he went missing while traveling with the other twenty-four sacrifice stoves, he finally left a riddle at the big sacrifice stove. The riddle was hidden under the ruins of the big sacrifice stove. Legend has it that the riddle contained the whereabouts of some of the missing sacrifice stove walkers."
Zhou Ba Wa scratched his head and walked again to worship the stove.
Just when Zhou Ba Wa was about to pick up a lantern riddle and study it, he was interrupted by a sudden accident. At the temple fair, an acquaintance saw Zhou Ba Wa and hurried over to say hello:
"Ouch! Uncle!"
Hiss, Zhou Ba wax could only put aside the lantern riddles and Yuanxiao Gong for the time being, and talk about it later. Seeing Ran Zhicheng appearing in front of him, running around selling CDs at the temple fair, he thought he was evil, why are you everywhere?
After the school holiday in Zhou Baxi, all the students went home, and Ran Zhicheng had nowhere to go. He was thick-skinned and shy and wanted to go home to find his daughter-in-law, but Ran Qiuran and his mother had already moved away. He was harassed and couldn't find her.
Wherever he went, he had no way out, so those who celebrated the New Year had no choice but to flee.
It was not such a coincidence that he wandered into the temple fair in the capital, set up a stall illegally, and was doing his selling business. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into Zhou Baqi, who was visiting the temple fair.
Zhou Ba Wa even doubted whether the Stove Lord's talent had taken effect, otherwise why would he have met him by chance in such a big country.
Zhou Baqu: "Tsk, you're not staying in Bincheng, why did you come all the way to the capital?"
Ran Zhicheng: "Hey, it's not the mission of the old mother who cried loudly in Lingshan Mountain to let the homeless children from our neighborhood come to the capital to visit during the Chinese New Year. You know, the homeless boy died in the Bincheng competition before.
I'm scared."
Ran Zhicheng: "Uncle, is there any way to get rid of this crying mountain? You have to save me."
Ran Zhicheng: "The government has now classified it as a dangerous criminal organization. I think it is also evil. The government reminds the public to be careful and report anyone who encounters a preacher. There is also a bonus. I am worried about it every day.
You dare to expose yourself and become a homeless person, fearing that you will be arrested... Uncle, what are you doing?"
Ran Zhicheng looked at Zhou Bazhu who picked up the phone and suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked quickly. Zhou Bazhu said with a matter-of-fact expression:
"Do you even need to ask? Of course I will report you and get the bonus."
