After the meal, the two boys were full of melancholy, three-year-old Xu Yunsu didn't understand the disappointment of his brothers, blinked his delicate little eyes, grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes with one hand, licked the milk on the other finger, and smiled beautifully.

Dressed in a delicate and small Han Dynasty palace dress, with a fluttering skirt, she looks cute like a cartoon version of an ancient lady doll, or the kind that is published in limited editions.

Xiao Feng had no choice, so he went to take out the flat paper kite made of white paper that he liked very much on weekdays but was extremely dissatisfied with at this time, and took it out from under the bed.

Xu Yunsu stood curiously under the eaves, biting her fingers and watching the two brothers chat for comfort, and let go in the yard for a while, clapping her hands to cheer up the brothers.

To fly a kite, you must follow the direction of the wind, in the most suitable weather, as long as you pull and retract, naturally, the paper kite will rise leisurely and gradually fly high.

Today is undoubtedly a very suitable weather, gusts of wind blowing, paper kite has also experienced several practices, last year it flew very high, but for a long time, the brothers still ran back and forth, repeated failures, which shows the frustration and impatience of the parties.

"Just, don't want it! I was angry when I saw other people's paper kites flying in the sky, but ours falling to the ground again and again. ”

"That's fine."

The innocent paper kite was ripped apart by the brothers all at once, which made Xu Yunsu cry, "Paper kite, paper kite." ”

Xiao Liu hurriedly ran over to comfort his sister, but Xiao Feng's mood was empty, he was not happy because of the death of the paper kite, and at the same time he was full of grievances that wanted to cry, hatred, and reluctance to give up the paper kite he made himself.

He raised his eyes to look at his younger siblings, Xiao Liu unconsciously wrapped his hand around the rope, Xiao Feng walked over and took his sister's little hand, "Don't cry, let's go find my aunt." ”

Xiao Liu followed behind him, and Xiao Yuying had already combed her hair. I'm done with my makeup, and I'm listening to the steward. Apparently aware of the children's intentions, she said, "Your uncle will be back soon." ”

Xiao Feng said angrily: "I've eaten breakfast, and I haven't seen it yet!" ”

Xiao Yuying said: "Didn't I say yesterday that I would take you to the top? You have to have lunch to climb the heights. ”

"You go out and take a look, all the paper kites are gone." Xiao Liu puffed out his mouth, obviously crying. ”

The little Xu Yun has always learned to do the same, and she also learned to pout, and she wanted to cry as if she was about to cry, which made Xiao Yuying angry and laughing.

"Alright, alright." Xiao Yuying comforted them: "You guys have a good time for a while." He'll definitely come back, I'm not lying. ”

So, the children withdrew.

The three children sat on the stone steps, looking up at the sky, and there were more paper kites on them. Originally, the children loved Xu Hao very much, but at this time, they couldn't help but feel that he was angry, he didn't come back for so long, he was deliberately playing tricks on people. Fail to keep the faith.

Xiao Liu proposed to run to the study and break his uncle's favorite pen and book, Xiao Feng naturally stopped him, but also said: "He is indeed hateful." ”

Xiao Liu said: "I won't talk to him in the future." He wanted to hold me, and I wiped my snot on him. ”

"Yes." Xiao Feng turned around vigorously, indicating that Yan Zhan agreed.

Xu Yunsu said in a milky voice: "I won't talk to my father anymore, he wants to kiss me on the mouth." Shall I just spit and foam? ”

"Okay." Both boys nodded at the same time.

Alas! But they are so anxious!

Uncle Sun in the story slowly climbs, unconsciously, from the willow tree in the east. After passing the crape myrtle camellia and other flower beds in the garden, the sunlight is flat on the stone slabs of the patio, and all kinds of shadows become straight lines.

Xiao Yushi didn't have time to pay attention to the children, the trivial matters had already slipped away from the side door, and the nurse and maid were also happy to see them in a daze.

In the big kitchen, there was the lively sound of fried fish and stir-fried vegetables, the family went in and out, and from time to time there were the laughter and laughter of other children, which made their hearts even hotter, and naturally, Xu Hao turned from hateful to hateful.

Seeing that the lunch was about to be served, there was a steady footsteps, which sounded rapidly outside the courtyard gate.

"Uncle is back." Xiao Feng jumped up, great, he looked at Xiao Liu, he was laughing.

Xu Hao did not disappoint them, holding a black fish-like paper kite with a flat head and a flat mouth and a tail more than a foot long.

Xu Hao handed the paper kite to Xiao Feng, took out a large bundle of hemp rope from the crook of his arm, and said: "At this time, the kites are all sold out, and this fish has still run to several houses, so please ask someone to make it." ”

But the children ignored his hard work and explanations, lowered their heads and studied the paper kite, Xiao Liu said: "It's much better than the flower butterfly of the crazy brother, and the tail is so long." ”

"It's bigger than him, what's so great about butterflies, and fish are beautiful." Xiao Feng also said happily.

"Good, good!" Xu Yunsu clapped his hands vigorously, as if this ordinary paper kite was the first in the world.

Xu Hao was helpless, even his daughter didn't care about herself, and she just followed her brothers' butts. Xiao Yuying came over and asked, "Do you want to go to Qianshoutang for lunch?" ”

"There are too many people, no need for them." Xu Hao sat down, "Go over by yourself, and discuss with Ning Xueyushi to give Ember and Miss Li Fang a visit to the church to get married, and it's in Xiaojia Village." I've been riding all morning, I'm tired, so I'll take a break. ”

"Okay." Xiao Yuying agreed, now there are too many children in the family, and the old lady is not in good spirits when she is old, so she will not bring the children over to say goodbye.

Xiao Feng suddenly raised his head and asked, "Uncle, you and we will ascend to the heights." ”

"Hmm." Xu Hao agreed.

Xiao Yuying said: "Lunch is on the table, and I'll go back after eating." ”

If it was usual, Xiao Feng and Xiao Liu's eyes were fixed on fried meat, or meat dishes that were better than fried meat, but today it was unusual, not only did he not want to eat meat, but he simply didn't eat a mouthful of food, and he was bent on climbing high, so he hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice and rinsed his mouth.

The nurse came over to say a few words, and gave the brothers four hundred yuan for pocket money, Xu Hao thought about it and ordered someone to call Xu Ember and Li Fang, take a large group of boys and girls from the family, and go to the mountain on foot.

According to the customs of Xiaojia Village, the Double Ninth Festival in early September is a festival for the family to accompany the elderly to climb the mountain, and today is to take the children to the nearby Bird Rock Mountain to climb. Its significance, in addition to creating a special game for children, there is also a legend that makes parents very happy, children will grow taller when they climb high.

It is said that there is also a bird stone mountain in Fuzhou, and there is a similar custom there, just at the back door of Xu's house is at the foot of the mountain, almost next to each other to climb the stone steps.

So a group of people took paper kites and set off casually.

Usually the foot of the mountain is mostly deserted, except for the shepherd's children who put the sheep on the hillside to graze, there are almost no tourists. Even if there were, it was the incense Taoist priest who led to the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the Huanggu Temple, as well as a few pilgrims who sought medical advice or restoration.

Today is very lively, groups of adults with children, or people from the neighboring villages of the city who come to climb the heights, large ladies dressed in silk and satin, peasant women wearing big hairpin earrings, ladies, blushing common girls, and hawkers selling sugar cane, pears, rice crackers, and all kinds of gadgets.

Everyone walked up happily, in an endless stream, Xu Hao was a little worried, looking at this situation, so many people would be crowded halfway, I am afraid that the people behind will have nowhere to stay.

"A few people up there to keep order." Xu Hao commanded.

Li Fang took Xu Yunsu's little hand with great interest, originally wanted to hold her, but she didn't want such a delicate child to have to go by herself, but Xiao Yushi's daughter Xu Yunyu had to be hugged, and Xu Yan easily held her sister who met for the first time in her arms.

Qingwen's daughter, Xu Yunning, held her father's hand, looking eager for her father to hold her, while Zhiqing's son Xu Ju grabbed Yunsu's other hand stupidly.

Xu Hao has a headache, plus other children, it is simply a little pot friend in the kindergarten who came out to travel, who would have thought that there would be so many people this year?

Fortunately, the mountain is not too high, a total of one hundred and twenty steps, and the road is also very wide, and there are only one or two dangerous places. Many tourists simply do not take the stone steps, but walk on the gentle slopes, where various wild flowers and grasses such as dogtail grass, cat's eye chrysanthemum, day sleep, climbing vines, etc., are overwhelmed.

At this time, it is indispensable to call Hanako, who has all kinds of rotten hands and feet, making a monotonous and miserable sound, and most women and pilgrims will give a few coppers.

Originally, there was a temple on the mountain, but it had already been cleaned up by Xu Hao, and the Taoist temple of single-minded cultivation was retained. But today, all those who climb the heights have to go to the top of the mountain gate, and take a stroll around the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Tianwang Palace, the Guanyin Hall, and the Luzu Palace.

The number of tourists is also beyond the surprise of a few Taoist priests, these people who are usually cut off from the red dust, there is also a smile on their faces that have been clean for a long time, and they also take the initiative to take care of tourists diligently, after all, who will not get along with money?

In short, the Taoist priests took the trouble to lead the tourists, to see the relics of various gods on the mountain, diligently explained the truth that the Taoist family is not easy to understand, and finally took out a pen and asked the donor to mention a fate on the book and leave a few incense money.

There is never a shortage of wise people in the world, not to mention the enduring religion, a few young and junior Taoist priests, standing on the edge of the iron tripod, the incense burner, pay careful attention to the pilgrims who come to worship in front of the gods, and when the people are gone, quickly blow out the candles they lit and pull out the incense they lit.

This is the most ingenious and convenient way for monks and Taoists in the world to make money, and with a little decoration, it can be resold to other pilgrims.

Xu Hao wondered, why did a small green mountain that could no longer be ordinary suddenly appear with countless magical deeds? What is the Ecstasy Cave, the nest of the spider spirit, the lair of the bat monster, the place where the scorpion spirit and the snake spirit meet, the rosette where the seven sisters become immortals, etc., together with Xiaojia Village is a ghost place where demons are rampant and immortals are enlightened? How unreasonable! (To be continued......)
