Chapter 7 Qingming Rice (1)

"It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road are about to break their souls." Li Wei sang softly at the weeping willows swaying gently by the wind on the riverside, but heard several crisp sounds of joint movement. When he looked back, he found that it was Wang Chuan's knuckles with a grim smile on his face.

"You guy is itchy, are you forgetting that your Chinese teacher died early since childhood. It seems that I want to save you, the monster."

"It is precisely because of this that I want to literate you. Three generations do not study, it is better to have a nest of pigs, Chuanzi." Li Wei smiled with great gratitude. Not only did he not give in, but he also made a provocative expression on his face. So the two of them fought together, and their happy laughter flew over the birds on the treetops.

Time flies, and the years pass by. In the blink of an eye, the Qingming Festival is coming. The Qingming Festival custom here in Zangdong County is not like other places. It is necessary to hang paper in front of the ancestral grave on that day (usually it has been completed before the Qingming Festival). Instead, it is necessary to wear straw hats made of willow branches to cook by the river. This custom has lasted for many years. In essence, it is a very ancient picnic. For students like Li Wei and others who are oppressed by heavy academic studies, Qingming Festival is a day to relax. This day is no less important to them than the Spring Festival.

Since Li Wei and Wang Chuan got into this, Li Wei and his family have become familiar with each other and often walk around. Li Wei’s father and Uncle Wang are both good at drinking. After a while, they have become friends who can talk about everything. This year’s Qingming Festival coincides with the weekend, so Li Wei’s family made an appointment to go out and cook together by the river.

Li Wei and Wang Chuan had been worried about this day for a long time. After breakfast early in the morning, they chartered a car to pack all the prepared pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. Then Li Wei and the other two pioneers volunteered to take on the task of choosing a location. The chartered car went straight to the upper reaches of the Ganyu River.

In fact, Li Wei and others have already chosen the address, that is, there is a waterfall thirty kilometers outside the county town, called "Dripping Cliff". The scenery is beautiful, the river beach is wide, and it is located in the upper reaches. It is really the only place for picnics, so you must set out earlier to seize the advantageous terrain.

Along the way, Li Wei and the others watched the scenery along the way quickly retreated, with a cool breeze, which was very pleasant.

As the saying goes, early birds eat insects. Because they arrived at the Drishui Cliff too early and no one else came to seize the territory, they happily occupied the best section of the river and moved things to a little to sort them out. The two of them broke some branches on the weeping willows by the river to make sun hats. The method of making this hat is very simple. Use long willow branches to circle the head and then wrap it into a ring. Leave a long section of tips at one end to let it sag naturally, just like the peacock feathers on the official hats of Qing Dynasty officials. During the wovening, Li Wei found a clump of very strong grass by the river. He took off two of them and inserted them on the willow hats. After putting them on, his body moved slightly and the grass swung left and right, just like an antenna, which was very fun.

The things were put down and the hats were woven. The two of them sat on a big rock by the river, smelling the fragrance of willow branches and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The drop here was very high, and the water flowed happily from the top of the cliff more than 100 meters high, falling into a small pool washed by the foot of the cliff. Because it was a dry season, the water flow was not big, and the scattered beads were rustling in the fine mist, and a faint mist filled the water, moist and cool, and the cliff stone wall was covered with various small shrubs and vines. From time to time, birds flew around. Looking up, two parallel stones suddenly grew on the stone wall on the right side of the water cliff.

, six or seven meters long, only one or two meters apart. It is very steep and daunting. The names of the two stones are also strangely called "talc". Maybe the older generation gave such a strange name to warn those young people who thought about finding out the stones. There is a small hole on the left side of the water cliff, which is 20 or 30 meters above the ground. From the outside, it looks like a hideous giant beast with a big black mouth waiting to choose people to eat. According to the old people, someone has dug up treasures inside, but they don't know whether it is true or false. However, as far as Li Wei knows, few people are involved in the cave on this steep cliff.

It was already noon, and several waves of people came one after another. Seeing that the best location had been occupied by Li Wei and others, they sighed and regretted that they had not arrived early, so they called their friends to set up camp. The sun gradually became vicious, and the dazzling sunlight licked the mist of the waterfall, making it even hotter. The leaves of the willow hat were slightly curled, and sweat oozed from Li Wei's head. Wang Chuan suggested taking a bath in the pool of the Dripping Cliff.

Li Wei happily agreed to it, and the two of them ran into the edge of the pond. Because the cliff body was a half arc, it blocked part of the sunlight. As soon as it entered it, it felt very cool. Li Wei couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan, and Wang Chuan, who was walking in front, could not wait to take off his clothes and pierce into the water. After diving out for a while, he showed his head and laughed, urging Li Wei to get into the water soon.

When Li Wei took off his shirt, Wang Chuan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Xiaowei, when did you grow strong? You have all your chest muscles and abdominal muscles." After a period of crazy exercise, the originally skinny body muscles had begun to take shape. Li Wei smiled and stretched out a finger: "Two words, exercise!"

Wang Chuan looked at his fat body and then looked at Li Wei, and said in annoyance: "I'm not exercising every day, why don't I get some muscles coming out?" Li Wei knew that Wang Chuan was actually the kind with more subcutaneous fat and was born with difficulty in reducing fat, but Li Wei would never give up the opportunity to attack him because of this.

"There is no way. Some people will know that they have eaten, sleep and eat in one day. If they can kill you, we can have a good New Year." Li Wei joked with a smile.

"Ah····" Wang Chuan roared and splashed water at Li Wei. Li Wei was not willing to be outdone. He slammed into the water and wrestled with Wang Chuan in the water. Happy laughter, splashing water droplets, and bursting with happiness everywhere. For a moment, the small pool under the cliff was extremely lively.

Finally tired, the two climbed up the water and lay lazily on the river beach, basking in the sun, blue sky and white clouds, sunshine and stream water. They unknowingly fell asleep in this beautiful scenery.

··········

This is a desolate big city, yes, a desolate big city. Looking up, the building is towering, very spectacular and dilapidated, the ground is in a mess, and various wastes are flying around in the bleak and cold wind. At the intersection, various cars are blocked in a row, and shocking blood and unrecognizable wreckage can be seen everywhere. Wang Chuan walked in front of him casually and couldn't help but be shocked. There was half a hand in the indistinguishable bones, and the hands with pale skin and long ring fingers were still on their hands, and the palms were gnawed to pieces.

A few hoarse howls came, and Wang Chuan looked at the place where the sound was made in horror. A man with a white shirt covered in black blood was lowered and slowly staggered around the car step by step in a twisted posture.

"What's wrong with you? Do you need help?" Wang Chuanqiang asked calmly.

The man heard Wang Chuan's words and slowly raised his head down. This was not a human face. His empty eyes were full of hunger and greed for food. His face was pale. There was a huge wound on his cheek that had bitten into it. The wound and blood stains on his face were already black. His mouth was gasping for breath, and his teeth were covered with meat scraps.

He looked at Wang Chuan, then let out a hoarse howl like a beast. His speed couldn't help but speed up a little, and leaned towards Wang Chuan. Ten meters, Wang Chuan did not move, but just looked at the man coldly.

Eight meters! Seven meters! As the man got closer and closer to Wang Chuan, his face showed a terrifying excitement. "Haha..." The man howled in a low voice, stretching out his dirty and scarred hands.

Five meters! The strong smell of corpse on a man's body floated in the wind, which made people feel vomited.

"Come on!" Wang Chuan roared, and he chose to turn around and run away, but rushed towards the man at a speed! The five-meter distance was fleeting, and he saw his legs gathering and his shoes trampling on the ground with force! He jumped up and kicked the man with a beautiful tide!

The man's half-wailing wailed in his throat. The powerful potential energy directly broke his body's balance and fell heavily to the ground. A red and blue shoe stepped heavily on his head.

"Since you want to die," Wang Chuan's eyes were cold. "I'll give you my wish!"
