Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 247
In the afternoon, it was rare to be free. A few old people moved the table under the sun outside the courtyard, and then played mahjong.

The two young people have no love for mahjong, so they just hide in the house and surf the Internet.

Just after Zhang Qian was on the phone, Su Nana's call came, so she put the mouse in Liu Junhao's hand, hid in the courtyard and started cooking the rice cooker.Although his wife didn't let him listen, Liu Junhao could guess the content of the phone call, it was nothing more than Su Nana's complaint about the blind date.

Su Nana has graduated for two or three years, so she is considered half-aged.The family members were naturally worried about letting her find a boyfriend to stabilize her, but she had a carefree temper, and she was not satisfied after meeting a few times, and finally stopped seeing each other altogether.Helpless, the family pushed too hard, and they whispered in their ears every day.She got very depressed, and said two days ago that she really couldn't do it and hid directly in Liujiagou for the New Year.

As soon as he logged on to QQ, Pang Xu immediately sent a message, and the first sentence was "Dizzy, I'm so depressed."

Liu Junhao hurriedly asked what happened?
After asking, I found out that this buddy was worrying about getting married. He and Xu Xiaoli had just had a quarrel about this matter.

Then the man started chatting on the computer again, talking about the house from work, and then from the house to marriage.In a word, there is no wishful thinking in life.

I didn't realize that this buddy likes to chatter before, just like Tang Seng in "A Chinese Journey to the West".But he couldn't say much about these things, so he could only cheer and comfort him. In fact, he was quite puzzled. Maybe he and Zhang Qian had become "exhaust pipes", and anyone who complained would come over.

Before I could say a few words of consolation, there was a deafening bang of "bang" outside!Immediately afterwards, I felt the glass of the window rattling and trembling, and even the computer screen shook a few times.Then the chickens and ducks in the courtyard screamed.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" He didn't care to continue chatting with Pang Xu.Hurry to go out the door.

"I don't know either." Zhang Qian was also taken aback, the sound just now was too scary.

"Go out and have a look." Liu Junhao hurriedly took his wife out, but saw that Professor Zhao and the others had stopped playing mahjong, and both of them had puzzled expressions on their faces.

"It sounds like it's coming from the woods..." Before Teacher Wang finished speaking, he saw thick smoke billowing from the woods, and there was a burst of "cracking" firecrackers in the middle.

"It's on fire." When he saw the smoke, Professor Zhao's face changed suddenly: It's not that someone went to the grave to attract the surrounding trees. He had the impression that there were several graves in the south of the forest.

In the past, burials were practiced in rural areas, and the tombs were piled up in tall and large protrusions.Naturally, crops cannot be grown on that protrusion, so it is usually covered with weeds.In autumn and winter, the wild grass is all dry.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many people going to the grave, and there are many fires caused by burning paper at the grave every year.

"Hurry up and take a look at the basin." Without further ado, Liu Junhao went back to the house to get the basin, followed by the rest of the people.Now the weather is dry and the woods are full of fallen leaves. Once the fire ignites, the consequences will be disastrous.

Before they arrived at the place, the sound of firecrackers stopped, and the smoke over the woods also faded a lot.

"Already gone?" Professor Zhao asked in wonder.I saw a lot of movement just now, why did it take a while, but there was no movement.

"No matter, hurry up and have a look." Mr. Wang didn't stop.

"Grandma, you... why are you here?" There was a sudden cry from the front, but it was Xiao Zeyu's voice.There was a large group of people standing beside him, not only the three little ones, but also all the half-grown children in the village, such as Maozi and Xiaowazi.

"Why are you here? What was the noise just now?" When Liu Junhao saw them, he instinctively felt that something had gone wrong.

When he asked, the children shrank their heads and dared not make a sound.

"Liu Changlin, tell me..." Zhang Qian followed up and asked.

"It's nothing...we were playing on the embankment just now, and when we heard the sound...we rushed over..." Seeing the adults staring at him, the brat's voice became quieter and weaker, and he was shocked by the sight. I know it's a guilty conscience.

"Come over with me to see what's going on?" Teacher Wang's expression was not very good at the moment.Hearing what she said, the faces of the little guys turned pale.

Even though they were far away, they could still clearly smell the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air.

When everyone arrived at the scene of the explosion, they were shocked.

I saw a foreign porcelain basin was blown into two, and a big hole was blown out in the center of the ground, and the paper scraps around it fell all over the ground.Even on the trees not far away, several traces were left by the explosion.

"Say what's going on?"

Following Teacher Wang's question, everyone lowered their heads and kept their mouths shut.

"Liu Changlin, you should tell me"

"We...play guns..." It was probably the first time I saw Teacher Wang get angry, and this guy didn't dare to make up lies to deceive people.

After hearing his narration, the faces of several adults changed immediately.Everyone felt lucky in their hearts, but luckily nothing happened...

On 23 that day, every family set off firecrackers. These children were free at home, so they ran all over the village to pick up firecrackers.Rural people are not very keen on machine-made cannons, mainly because they are all thick toothpicks, and they are not festive at all when they are released during the New Year.Most people bought home cannons and released them at home.

Earth cannons are hand-woven, and usually have a lot of firecrackers the size of copper coins on them. This thing is particularly loud when lit, and there is a lot of cannon paper, which corresponds to the Chinese New Year saying "a lot of money (more income)" .

Children like this kind of earthen cannon very much when they pick it up. The main reason is that the earthen cannon has a lot of misfires, so they can pick it up and play.

Liu Junhao has done this kind of thing like picking up firecrackers before, as soon as he heard the sound of firecrackers in a house during the New Year, he would run over immediately.After a year, at least one washbasin firecracker can be picked up.Most of the firecrackers picked up were peeled off, and then the explosives inside were poured into the chain ring gun for use, and a small number of them were played by themselves.

What this group of children did was outrageous. They collected the firecrackers they picked up and tied them together with cotton thread, then weaved the lead wires into a strip and put them upside down in a foreign porcelain basin.The foreign porcelain basin was taken from Xiaowazi's family. There is a thumb-sized hole in the bottom of the basin, which is just enough for the lead wire to stick out.

According to their thinking, after so many firecrackers are lit, the momentum will definitely be able to send the foreign porcelain basin into the air, so they all bet on how high they can fly and fall.

The one who ignited the fuse was a hairy kid. This guy was extra careful when lighting it. He saw that the fuse was too short, so he asked someone to peel off a few firecrackers, sprinkle the explosives inside in a straight line and connect it to the fuse.The explosives were three to four meters long, and finally he hid behind a tree and ignited the explosives.After the explosives were ignited, he hurriedly ran away.

It turned out that it didn't go up to the sky as they imagined. With a loud noise, the foreign porcelain basin was exploded, and the ears of the group of little guys were also buzzing.When they saw the movement, they all knew something bad was going on, and they all ran out of the woods, but before they could get out, they were blocked.

"You guys are really brave..." Liu Junhao didn't know whether to say Amitabha or God's blessing.They really never changed their ways. During the summer vacation, because they used wheat straw to burn cicadas, people mistakenly thought there was a fire. As a result, most of the people in the village were alarmed. This time it happened again.I believe that with such a loud noise, someone will come to ask later.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Liu Wuye yelling loudly: "Xiaohao, Mr. Zhang, what happened just now, something made a noise, I heard it in the village..."

"What else can it be, you have to ask these 'talents'" Teacher Wang said behind.

Soon, Er Mazi and Liu Junqi also rushed over.After hearing that the explosion just now was made by the children, they were all shocked.Especially Liu Junqi, without further ado, went forward and twisted the hairy boy's ears, from the edge of the woods to the village entrance, screaming "Awow" from the boy.

These guys also deserve a beating, they really haven't been on Fang Jiewa for three days.

"Zeyu, Jianhui, come in!" After entering the yard, Mama Zhang immediately shouted.

"Uncle...Aunt..." The two little guys knew that they had caused a catastrophe this time, so they didn't dare to enter the house at all, and their little faces begged Zhang Qian and Liu Junhao with mournful expressions.

"Don't look at me, listen to what your grandma has to say." If it's something else, Liu Junhao might beg for mercy.But this... really should be educated!
"Don't come in yet, do you want me to twist your ears too?" Mama Zhang shouted again, and the two little guys had no choice but to run into the house obediently.

"Hand over the firecrackers, and no one is allowed to hide anything." Looking at the two little grandchildren, she felt a headache.When the two of them first came to Liujiagou, everything they saw was new.For a while, I don’t know which corner I took out a big rock, and for a while I climbed up the tree trunk, and for a while I picked up the kitchen knife and went to cut branches to make a slingshot.

Losing their jobs every day, they had a great time playing like wild horses that had run wild.When I enter the house, my head is always sweaty and my body is covered in dirt!

They used to complain that it was inconvenient to buy snacks here, but now they all changed their minds and said they would celebrate the New Year here.According to the two, no one cares about them here, and they can "go crazy".

They had fun, but Mama Zhang had a headache.I explained it well before going out, and every time I came back, my clothes were dirty.They lay down on the ground and played glass balls, played hide-and-seek in the tumbleweed nest, climbed rocks on straw stacks, in short... all day and night they never lived safely.When I came here, I brought three sets of clothes, but now I can't wash them with the washing machine.

These are nothing, the key is that they actually played with firecrackers... Thinking of what happened just now, Mama Zhang was still afraid for a while.What if something happens.

The old lady is quite regretful now. She knew that she should not be soft-hearted. If she had listened to her daughter-in-law and kept them at home, how could there have been so many headaches.

Not to mention her headache, when the villagers knew what was going on with the loud noise just now, they all began to "manually educate" their children.
