——

   Woke up in the morning and opened his eyes. Kyushu did not see the familiar figure of Qingming and Hanshi, but a new **** appeared beside him.

  Kyushu recognized it as "Big Brother Shangsi" at a glance. As for why, let's talk about Shangsi's performance in four o'clock days.

  Shangsi likes to be clean on weekdays and loves Linxi bathing most. So that I always sit by the stream, put my legs in the stream, and let the stream flow to wet the clothes. Of course, the immortals have already taken it off.

  "Today is March 3rd of the Chinese lunar calendar, Kyushu, let me go to the riverside!" Shangsi took the newly awakened Kyushu to the river bank.

  There is a group of people on the bank of the river wearing shepherd's purse flowers on their heads, holding fragrant bluegrass in their hands, soaking them in the clear water flowing in the river, and then lifting them up, and the splashes they bring up a wonderful arc.

   "Look at Kyushu, it's not just that I like bathing!" Kamimi pointed to the people on the riverside, trying to prove to Kyushu that I was not overly pursuing cleanliness.

  Kyushu followed the direction of Shangsi’s finger and saw those people. There were men, women and children in the crowd. They were all immersed in this spring-like activity: "Well! It’s not wrong for Shangsi brother to love cleanliness, can we join them too?"

  Obviously, being infected by the atmosphere of people’s laughter, Kyushu also wants to participate.

"Okay, this is a unique activity for the people of China Shenzhou at this time. It is only once a year. I know you will like Kyushu." Qingming and Hanshi, who had not seen it early in the morning, suddenly appeared in front of Kyushu, "I and you Hanshi Brother has picked bluegrass for you!"

  Under the azure blue sky, facing the warm spring sun of Kyushu, smiling, like a flower blooming on the face, "Thank you Qingming sister, Hanshi brother!"

  One person and three immortals joined people’s activities in this way, and they enjoyed themselves for a while. The three thousand-year-old immortals, all like children, started playing with Kyushu.

  After playing for a long time, the shepherd's purse on the head of Kyushu fell into the stream, floated on the stream, and floated along the stream into a tributary.

   Kyushu chased the shepherd's purse flowers all the way to this tributary. Some floating, hard-boiled eggs appeared in the streams of the tributaries.

  "The little friend is looking for flowers from afar." A soft female voice sounded, and Kyushu looked at it. The woman was holding a pot of wine on a tray beside her, and she was holding a cup of tea in her hand, which obviously replaced the wine with tea.

   Raised the tea cup in her hand, the woman sent out an invitation to Kyushu: "Little girl, do you want to be with us?"

  Under the invitation of the woman, Kyushu sat next to the woman and listened to the woman talking about the activities they were doing.

  "This is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is called ‘qushui liuqi’. Whoever reaches the tray with wine will drink and write a poem."

"If it's like me, or you children." The woman raised her hand and motioned to Kyushu to show the children who participated in the "Mixed Water Flowing Gathering", "I would use tea instead of wine, and follow along. The atmosphere of the literati in ancient times."

After speaking, the woman fished out a boiled egg from the stream, smashed the egg skin on the gravel by the stream, peeled off half of it, and handed the half with the egg skin to Kyushu. eat.

  "The beauty of the riverside is a guest." After a short while, the tray flowed down the stream, and the person who drank in the back took the woman's verse.

   "Kyushu?"

   "Kyushu, where are you?"

  Ching Ming's anxious voice rang, and Kyushu disappeared after turning around. Because of the dense mountains and forests nearby, the three immortals flew into the air and the Sanxian did not find Kyushu. Now they are looking around very anxiously.

   "Sister Qingming, here I am!"

After hearing Kyushu's reply, Qingming felt relieved. Bringing the two immortals to Kyushu's side, after thanking the woman, he blamed herself.

   "Sister Qingming, Kyushu shouldn't run around, it's not your fault." Kyushu is very sensible, and quickly comforted Qingming, "From now on, Kyushu will follow you closely and won't run around."

  Seeing that Kyushu is okay, and the big stone in Qingming's heart has completely fallen to the ground, apart from self-blaming, he is not careful to think about cold food and Shangsi, and can't help but be afraid for a while.

   Kyushu kept comforting the three gods, and then followed the people to carry out the activities of this song.

  There are three hundred poems, and three teas are made. It was getting late, and everyone did their poetry. After a small banquet, they ate and drank, and went away.
