Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 149

Setting off firecrackers during the New Year is the basic operation of children in previous lives.

From childhood to adulthood, every Chinese New Year, the sound of firecrackers always grew up with childhood.

If you don't hear a few firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, this year will not be complete, and you always feel that something is missing.

This year is Li Qinzai's first New Year in the Tang Dynasty. He doesn't know the ancient customs, but Li Qinzai still wants to add a sense of ritual to the New Year in the Tang Dynasty.

How can it be called New Year without a sound?
As for Datang's explosive rod, this one doesn't work, it's like a dull fart that's still unfinished, and the movement is too small.

After the gunpowder was prepared, Li Qinzai ordered people to get some hemp paper and wet mud, and then made some fuses, rolled up the gunpowder paper, stretched out the fuse from the front, and blocked the bottom with yellow mud.

A perfect firecracker will be done.

They made dozens of them tirelessly, and under Qiao'er's impatient urging, Li Qinzai and Qiao'er came to the gate of the other courtyard with the newly made firecrackers.

Outside the gate, Li Sujie and a group of playboys stared at their attendants and loaded their luggage into the carriage.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is almost here, they also started to pack their bags. Li Qinzai said that after the final exam this afternoon, everyone can go home for the winter vacation.

The dudes are ready to pack their bags early.

Going back to school, after all, this place is too remote and deserted. They are used to the prosperity of Chang'an, so they couldn't wait when they learned that it was going to be a holiday.

Seeing Li Qinzai walking out of the gate of the other courtyard holding Qiao'er's hand, the dudes saluted one after another.

Li Qinzai nodded, and led Qiao'er to the open space outside the gate.

The firecrackers were wrapped in oiled paper, and Qiao'er held a lighted incense stick tightly in her hand.

Seeing that the father and son were mysterious, all the dandies couldn't help but become curious.

After looking at each other, Li Sujie approached Li Qinzai without hesitation.Seeing that Li Sujie took the lead, Li Xian and the dudes also followed.

After approaching, I saw Li Qinzai squatting on the ground, warning Qiao'er with a serious face: "This thing is very dangerous, very dangerous. If you want to play, you must ask the uncles in the mansion to order it for you. You are absolutely not allowed to order it." It, or your little butt will be swollen by me, remember?"

Qiao'er looked innocent and serious, nodding in agreement.

Li Qinzai smiled again: "Father will help you light it when you are free. Just listen to the sound from a distance. It is much louder than Grandpa Wei's explosive stick."

Qiao'er continued to nod innocently: "Father, you are becoming more and more verbose, are you getting older? I heard from my aunt that the older the person, the more they talk and the more broken their mouth..."

There were a few puffs from behind, Li Qinzai turned his head with a cold face, Li Sujie and others looked up at the sky and whispered to each other.

"Today is a fine day."

"Yes, yes, the wind is very strong, and the snow is also very white."

Li Qinzai flicked his group staring skills, ignored them, and continued to say to Qiao'er: "Don't listen to Auntie from now on, she is stupid, don't get infected."

Qiao'er nodded with a half understanding.

Open the oiled paper bag, take out a firecracker and stick it on the ground.

He took the incense in Qiao'er's hand and waved his hand to signal Qiao'er to stay away. Seeing all the dudes staring at him curiously, Li Qinzai smiled evilly, and without reminding him, he brought the burning incense close to the fuse of the firecracker.

With a snort, the fuse was ignited, and Li Qinzai turned his head and ran away. The ignorant and fearless dudes remained motionless.

boom!
A loud noise echoed for a long time over the empty Zhuangzi.

The people outside the gate of the other courtyard turned their backs on their backs, the dandies were really startled, Li Sujie and Li Xian ran away with their heads in their hands, the young Shangguan Kun'er stood in place and cried loudly, Qiao'er looked excited.

Inside the gate of the other courtyard, Liu Ahsi and the others heard the loud noise, their expressions changed immediately, and they rushed out recklessly, at the same time the horizontal knife on the side of their waist was unsheathed.

After rushing out, he found Li Qinzai and Qiao'er at the first sight, surrounded Li Qinzai without saying a word, and looked around vigilantly, looking for the enemy.

The farmers who were nearby also heard the loud noise and came out to watch in horror. Some farmers picked up farm tools and ran towards other courtyards.

Li Qinzai was a little surprised when he saw the chaos in front of him.

Unexpectedly, there was such a big commotion, it seemed... a little high-profile?
Turning around and looking around, Li Sujie and Li Xian looked at the curling green smoke rising from the explosion of the firecrackers with horror on his face, Qi Bizhen's small face was pale, and she still gritted her teeth to try to calm herself down, but her trembling legs completely betrayed him.

Shangguan Kun'er was still grinning and crying, and the other dudes were shaking and hugging each other to keep warm...

Liu Asi and the tributaries looked serious, still looking for the enemy. Farmers who came from afar copied farm tools and yelled loudly: "Da Tang is at war with He Fang Zai Sui?"

Only Qiao'er was very excited. Li Qinzai had told him long ago that the sound of firecrackers was loud, and Qiao'er might have been mentally prepared for it, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Li Qinzai's face was blushing, as if he was out of line...

"Cough, everyone, don't panic, it's okay, let's come back." Li Qinzai pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to calm down.

"Father, it's so fun! Another one!" Qiao'er shouted excitedly.

Li Sujie stepped forward, staring at the cleared gunpowder smoke, and said in horror: "Dare to ask, sir, the loud noise just now..."

Li Qinzai nodded: "I did it, it was just a firecracker, don't make a fuss."

Li Sujie still hasn't recovered from his senses: "What in the world can make such a loud noise? It's just, it's just like thunder in the clear sky."

Speaking of which, Li Sujie saluted and said, "Mister, can you show this object to this disciple?"

Li Qinzai took out a firecracker from the oil-paper bag and handed it to him.

Li Sujie took it with both hands, and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes.

The other dandies were too frightened to look at them one by one, and some of them didn't even wipe away the tears from their faces.

Only Shangguan Kun'er was still crying.

Li Qinzai became a little impatient, and said to Qiao'er, "Go and persuade your uncle, don't be hypocritical, just cry a few times for a while, don't stop."

As expected, Qiao'er obediently stepped forward and patted Shangguan Kun'er's shoulder: "Brother, don't cry, don't be hypocritical."

Shangguan Kun'er sobbed, "Who, who... is uncle?"

"You."

"I, I'm not an uncle."

"Sooner or later." Qiao'er smacked her lips in disgust: "You don't even care about a title, you are really hypocritical."

The dudes ignored the two children, and they were all seriously observing the firecracker.

Li Sujie stared at the Yinxian of the firecracker, and said: "Sir, just now you lit this Yinxian with incense, did this thing make a loud noise?"

"Yes."

Li Sujie hesitated and said: "Disciple is bold, can I invite Mr...."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Do you still want to hear the sound?"

Li Sujie and the other dudes nodded.

"Aren't you afraid anymore?"

The dudes hesitated for a moment, but shook their heads firmly.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "For those who celebrate the New Year, I can't let you down. It's good to watch and cover your ears if you are afraid."

The dudes were very obedient, and rushed out of the distance suddenly, their expressions were still a little apprehensive, and there was a bit of excitement in their apprehension.

Liu Ahsi and the trilogy also knew what had happened at this time, it seemed that Wu Shaolang had come up with something novel again, so they backed away tactfully.

The firecracker was inserted on the ground, lit, turned around, and sprinted away, all in one go.

boom!
There was another loud noise, and the dandies were no longer afraid this time, and cheered excitedly.

The farmers on the Zhuangzi also gathered together at this moment, looking curiously at the wisp of green smoke rising from the ground.

Li Qinzai's mood also became happy unconsciously, the more people watching, the happier he was when the firecrackers started.

A person who has lived two lifetimes is still insane. Li Qinzai couldn't help feeling a little self-loathing towards himself while enjoying himself.

"I want to get back the innocence I once had, for the feelings." Li Qinzai had no choice but to keep hypnotizing himself.

Different from the excitement of the dandies, Li Sujie's face was solemn, but his eyes were fixed on the small hole left by the explosion of the firecrackers on the ground. The soil in the hole was still emitting a trace of gunpowder smoke.

It doesn't matter if the small pit is smoking, what Li Sujie noticed was the appearance of the soil after it was blasted.

After a long time, Li Sujie suddenly said: "Sir, can this thing...can hurt people?"

Li Qinzai rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, I can't hurt people, can I tell Qiao'er to stay away?"

All the dandies are quiet.

Li Xian couldn't help but whispered: "But...why didn't you tell us to stay away just now?"

Li Qinzai's old face turned red.

This... It's a bit hurtful to explain, but in layman's terms, it can be explained clearly in one sentence.

You are not my own, and you cannot enjoy the treatment of dogs.
