After bowing.
Luo Shimiao pulled out a flamethrower and scissors from his canvas bag: "Third Brother, open the incense."
"OK." Luo Jianxing took the scissors and cut the rope tied to the incense.
Gu Nian then tore off the transparent film on the surface.
“Yes, I’ve already sent the location. Once you get to the entrance, it’s just a short walk away.” Li Man was talking to someone on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she took the offerings out of the box and placed them next to the tombstone.
"Whoosh~"
Luo Shimiao was holding a flamethrower and lighting incense. Gu Nian lifted the incense to prevent the grass under his feet from being burned.
"It's burning pretty fast." Luo Jianxing stood beside his sister, hands on his hips, watching the incense slowly being lit.
After burning for a few minutes to make sure the incense was fully lit, Gu Nian stood it upright.
Next to the tombstone, there is a container for incense sticks, but it is definitely not big enough to hold these three three-meter-tall incense sticks.
"Gu Nian, plant it in the soil in front of the tombstone," Luo Shimiao said, pointing to a spot.
Gu Nian carried the incense over and tried to push it into the ground, but couldn't. He frowned and said, "The soil is a bit firm; it's hard to insert."
"Then you hold it for now, I'll dig a bit." Luo Shimiao took the canvas bag over and took out a small shovel from it: "Luckily I had the foresight."
Under the sunlight, a small, golden shovel gleamed brightly.
"This shovel is so beautiful, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to get it dirty, but I can't dig with my hands. I'll wash it clean for you after I'm done." Luo Shimiao took the shovel and squatted on the ground, digging and digging.
Li Man and Luo Jianxing were burning incense.
The light reflected from the shovel shone directly into Luo Jianxing's eyes. He shifted his position and looked in the direction of the light. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the small shovel in his sister's hand, and then he laughed: "Miaomiao, you are really brave. Third brother admires you."
His tone was laced with schadenfreude.
"What do you mean?" Luo Shimiao stopped what she was doing and looked at him in confusion.
"That's Mom's trophy in your hand," Luo Jianxing said with a smile.
His smile was even brighter than the sunshine.
"Huh?" Luo Shimiao was stunned, staring blankly at the shovel in his hand: "Are you kidding me? Whose trophy looks like this?"
Luo Jianxing: "If you don't believe me, turn the handle over and take a look."
Luo Shimiao quickly flipped the handle over, and after seeing the line of words engraved on it, his eyes widened, and his hand holding the shovel trembled slightly.
She thought it was her nephew's shovel from digging sand at the beach, so she took it. Who told her mother to leave it so casually in the living room?
"Waaah... Gu Nian, save me!" Luo Shimiao rushed over and hugged the man's leg.
"Wash it clean and secretly put it back," Gu Nian comforted her, patting her head.
That was the only way. Luo Shimiao carefully wiped it clean with a tissue and put it back in her bag.
She dared not use it. It could be washed if it got dirty, but if it broke, there would be no saving it.
If my mom finds out, she'll be torn to pieces.
"Now that's a problem, what are we going to do to dig without a shovel?" Luo Shimiao looked around.
At this moment, the other two incense sticks were also burned.
Luo Shimiao looked at the incense sticks they were holding, an idea flashed through her mind, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "How about this?" As she spoke, she pulled Li Man and her third brother over.
Let Li Man stand between the two of them.
"Pfft~" Luo Shimiao looked at them holding the giant incense stick and standing side by side in front of the tombstone, and found the scene inexplicably funny: "Sorry, I just couldn't help it."
Li Man's lips twitched: "Miao Miao, what kind of terrible idea is this? Are you planning to spend the night here?"
"It's not impossible. With so many 'people' around, I'll definitely sleep soundly." He stomped his foot on the grass: "The ground is quite soft."
“........”
"Just kidding, you guys hug for a bit first." After saying that, he ran off towards a tree not far away.
Luo Shimiao looked up at the tree in front of him and put his hands together: "You are also part of the cemetery and serve the 'residents' here. Is it okay for me to break off a branch from you?"
If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes.
Luo Shimiao looked around to make sure there were no staff members, then grabbed the tree trunk and climbed up with a few kicks.
Little Green poked her head out from the front pocket of her overalls: "Someone's stealing! Someone's stealing something!"
"If you keep babbling, this tree will be your house," Luo Shimiao threatened, looking down at it.
Little Green immediately shrunk back into its pocket.
Luo Shimiao stood at the fork of the tree trunk, looking at the lush branches, and finally chose a branch that was neither too big nor too small and was very straight.
I glanced down and estimated it to be a little over two meters high, not particularly tall.
Once you've identified a branch, lunge forward, grab the thicker branch with both hands, release one hand, and try to break off the one you've chosen.
"Um?"
"Its toughness is really good." Luo Shimiao tried a few times, but couldn't break it.
On the other side, the three of them stood upright, holding Xiang tightly, watching the girl hanging from the tree, swinging back and forth, "struggling" with the branches.
There was a moment of silence.
Luo Jianxing asked, "A-Nian, have you been thinking about getting a new girlfriend?"
"No," Gu Nian replied without the slightest hesitation, "very...cute."
"Cute?" He just chuckled. Talking against his conscience, isn't he afraid of retribution?
"I refuse to believe it." Luo Shimiao placed her hands on the tree branch, which was not even as thick as her wrist, and sank her body down: "Mount Tai pressing down on me!"
"Snap!" A crisp sound.
Luo Shimiao fell down the branch and landed steadily on the ground.
Then he quickly carried the tree branch and ran back.
That "sleazy" look was exactly like that of a thief who had just succeeded in stealing something.
"I'm back." Luo Shimiao waved the branch in her hand and noticed some dust on their hair. "You have dust on your heads, let me brush it off for you."
"Swish swish swish..."
The lush green leaves swept around the heads of the three people.
The three of them gazed at her silently: "Living Bodhisattva, we thank you."
Luo Shimiao put down the branch: "Alright, you're welcome."
“...................”
"Thank you my foot! You've ruined the hairstyle I just finished," Luo Jianxing said angrily.
Luo Shimiao glanced at it and said, "Natural is the most handsome. Like now, there's a kind of messy handsomeness."
"Man'er, is it true?" Luo Jianxing turned to look at her.
"Mmm," Li Man answered truthfully, "It really is very beautiful."
If you cover up your lip color, you'll look weak and frail, making people want to... push you down.
Li Man shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these thoughts. How could she be thinking about such nonsense at a time like this? What a sin!
After removing the excess parts of the branches, Luo Shimiao started digging again.
After digging for about five or six minutes, three small pits appeared in front of us.
"Phew, finally done. Let's offer incense." Luo Shimiao tossed the branch aside and plopped down on the grass.
