After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 21 Sun to

Yao Wanning was unwell, so she naturally wouldn't go on this trouble-seeking trip, only the mother and daughter would travel together.

The two went out of the house, and the carriage went around the two alleys, and gradually there were more voices.

After the rain stopped, many businessmen who were trapped at home gradually came out and started to run the business.

Although it was still early, there were quite a few pedestrians on the road. The doors of many shops were opened, and the hired guys were taking big brooms to clean the puddles that were hoarding on the streets. It was very lively.

"mother--"

Yao Shouning turned his head and glanced at Liu Shi before he hesitated to speak.

"what's up?"

Liu Shi's mind was on the matter of smashing the signboard of Shen Shenyi, and the whole person was full of fighting spirit. He didn't notice the change in Yao Shouning's mind at this moment. Hearing her calling him, he answered absentmindedly.

"You say, aunt is she okay?"

After she said this, Mrs Liu turned to look at her, and only then did she realize that something was wrong with this little daughter.

In the past, she was always full of energy, but today, for some unknown reason, she seemed to be a little listless, and there were two faint blue shadows under her eyes that were rare.

"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"

When Liu Shi saw it, he couldn't help asking her with concern.

Yao Shouning hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I had a nightmare last night." Having said that, she glanced at Liu Shi:
"I dreamed that my aunt was a little bad."

After she finished speaking, she leaned against Liu Shi's shoulder and reached out to hug her mother's arm:

"Mother, do you want to find someone to go to Jiangning and inquire about your aunt's whereabouts?"

When Liu Shi first saw her face was not good, and then heard that she had a nightmare and was a little worried, when she heard her words later, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She never believed in the myth of gods and ghosts, nor did she believe in the so-called foreknowledge, thinking that the so-called prophecy was just a trick.

Not to mention that Yao Shouning was just dreaming, so naturally he didn't take her words seriously.

"It turned out to be a nightmare."

Liu Shi smiled and touched her daughter's cheek, her tone softened:
"Blame me," she said:

"It must be that I mentioned your aunt to you a few days ago, and it made you think about it."

She mentioned that Koyanagi was critically ill and wanted to send her children to Shendu.

Because Yao Shouning was lonely, he had long wanted a playmate to accompany him, so it was very likely that he would be thinking about it every day and dreaming at night.

She is young and has not experienced the life and death of her relatives. She had such a dream by chance, no wonder she didn't sleep well, and a shadow appeared under her eyes.

"Your aunt is far away in Jiangning, and it's far away, plus she doesn't live in a fixed place, so it's normal to not hear back for so long."

Liu Shi put her little daughter in her arms with some tenderness and comforted her in a soft voice:

"No news is good news."

She paused:

"Furthermore, that letter was already six months ago. When your aunt wrote it, she was probably feeling sick for a while, so she thought about it too much. Now she might have recovered, so she didn't send her children. of."

Yao Shouning listened to her carefully, thinking that what Liu Shi said was very reasonable, but also faintly felt that what she said was wrong.

"Looking back, I asked a doctor to give you a pulse and give you a prescription for soothing the mind. You have a good rest and don't think too much about these things."

There is already a sick daughter at home, Liu Shi can see that the younger daughter is not listless.

After saying this, I thought Yao Shouning would refuse, after all, she has always been impatient to drink these bitter medicines.

Unexpectedly, she thought about it and nodded:

"I really should take some medicine, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Speaking of which, whether it was Xiao Liu's failure to survive the winter solstice, or the strange dream that came from the cousin who claimed to be surnamed Hu last night, it is absolutely impossible to say if Liu has made it clear that he does not believe it.

Fortunately, the time until the winter solstice is not long, just wait a little longer.

When the mother and daughter were talking, they heard 'clang——'

A long, thick bell came from afar, quickly spreading to every corner of the capital city.

'clang--'

'clang--'

The sound rang three times in a row, overlapping and overlapping, making it deafening.

At the same time, when the bell in the inner city rang, the outside of the city also sounded like a drum and spread flowers, and the bell rang and spread farther away.

Under the loud noise, the horses were frightened and began to stomp in uneasiness.

Wherever the sound went, the merchants on the street couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

Yao Shouning was also taken aback by the sudden sound of the bell, and before she could react, Liu Shi quickly blocked her ears.

Madam Cao in the car hurriedly reached out to cover Liu Shi's ears, and after six beeps, the bell stopped.

It's just that the lingering sound lingered, Liu Shi saw that there was no more sound, and slowly released his hand.

But the echoes were endless, as if the ears were still ringing, as if there was a bug spinning in the ear canal, itching and headache.

"Mother, why did the bell ring suddenly?"

Yao Shouning shook his head, tilted his head to pick out his ears, and just as soon as his fingertips like shoots reached over, he was caught by Liu Shi:
"Don't get hurt."

She reached out and rubbed her daughter's ears to relieve Yao Shouning's discomfort, while frowning:

"It rang six times. In previous years, the bell rang six times. It was the winter solstice."

When Mrs Liu spoke, she didn't feel very comfortable either, Mammy Cao knew what she was thinking and rubbed her auricle for her.

Daqing attaches great importance to the winter solstice festival. When the imperial court established the country, a star-gazing platform was set up in the Qintian prison in the inner city of Shendu, and a silicon watch was built on the platform to calculate the circulation of the four o'clock.

When the winter solstice comes, the bell in the palace will ring six times to remind the people of Daqing that the time is up.

In the beginning, the imperial court set the rules of this festival and encouraged the people to buy incense candles and firecrackers to prepare. Once the bells stopped, the whole city would set off firecrackers.

The sound of cannons rose into the sky, the smoke filled the air, and the festive atmosphere came instantly.

In the sixth and 700th year of the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, this custom has been preserved to this day. For the people of the Daqing Dynasty, the winter solstice is almost the same as the New Year, and they all live in an unusually grand manner.

The festival time is based on the silicon table, which is around November [-] every year.

In the first ten days of November, every household will prepare incense candles and firecrackers in advance, and when the bell rings in the middle of the court, the whole city will set off firecrackers.

When the smoke of gunpowder fills, it means that the people are about to usher in the new year.

This year, because of the rare heavy rain for half a month, Liu's house was closed, and the family hadn't had time to prepare the goods for the festival.

I thought that the rain had finally passed, and this year's winter solstice might have to be postponed for a few days because of the arrival of this rain.

Unexpectedly, the rain only stopped yesterday evening, and the bell rang today, which caught Liu by surprise.

　At present, the number of words in the new book is small, and many clues are in the foreshadowing stage...
