On the mountain road, a little girl with pink and jade sculptures lay on Xiang Wan's back. Because the journey was a bit long, she actually fell asleep with her mouth pouted.

The long walnut hair beside them is coiled in front of them, and a few strands of hair hang down on the big and white jade rabbit, half covering their sleeping figures.

With a smile in his walnut eyes, he moved his gaze away from Xiang Wan's handsome face and landed on the little boy jumping in front of him.

Her red lips parted slightly and she called softly: "Yangyang, run slower."

"Mom, where are we going to go this far to this deep mountain today?"

The cute little boy had an innocent smile on his face. He looked back at Hutao, his beautiful plum blossom eyes full of curiosity.

Hutao replied softly: "Today is the Qingming Festival, so I went to visit your grandfather's grave."

Xiang Yang stood there, looking up at the blue sky and murmuring softly: "Grandpa?"

Xiang Wan said at the right time: "He is your mother's grandfather."

Having said this, the lines on Xiang Wan's face gradually softened, and the slender scar on his right eye seemed more attractive.

He took Hu Tao's cold and white hand and said to Xiang Yang, "That is the most important person to your mother. You have to kowtow to him properly when the time comes."

"What about you, dad?"

Xiang Wan smiled softly and replied: "When I accompanied your mother to visit her grave, I would kowtow every time."

Xiangyang trotted up to Hu Tao, holding the hem of Hu Tao's clothes with her little hands and shaking her gently.

"Mom, is what dad said true?"

Hu Tao rubbed Xiangyang's short brown hair, smiled softly and said, "Of course it's true."

"Your father always bangs his head every time he kowtows, but he is serious and working hard."

"Wow——"

"Then I will definitely knock louder than dad!"

"Silly boy, kowtowing is not just to compete with others."

"I know, it's to show respect for the ancestors."

Hu Tao's little hand fell on Xiang Yang's neck and squeezed it gently.

"Then Mom will test you, what is the meaning of ancestor worship?"

Xiang Yang held his hands in his arms and replied with a smile on his face: "The meaning of worshiping ancestors is to be cautious and pursue the future. It also expresses the long history and hopes for the prosperity of descendants. Therefore, when we act, we must be solemn, solemn, respectful, and sincere. It all comes from us.

Liyue’s traditional ethical thoughts.”

"The emphasis on worshiping ancestors is a distinctive feature of Liyue etiquette. This is because worshiping ancestors has a good social enlightenment function, helping to cultivate the moral character of social members, strengthen unity among social members, and maintain the stability of the patriarchal society."

"The people of Liyue's sacrifice to their ancestors is a moral faith, a poetic act to express their emotions, and a gratitude and memory born from individual emotions."

"Etiquette and customs culture fully embodies the humanistic spirit of Liyue people in respecting their ancestors and pursuing the future with caution."

Hu Tao listened and nodded with satisfaction. She patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I remember it very clearly. Go back and ask dad to cook your favorite grilled fish for you."

"I want to eat grilled fish too~"

The long eyelashes of the little girl on the back fluttered slightly, and her big black eyes flickered.

Hutao turned her head and looked at the little girl, the smile in her eyes became even brighter. She pinched the little girl's nose and said dotingly: "She wakes up when she mentions food. She is such a greedy little girl."

"Dad~"

The little girl's delicate voice echoed in Xiang Wan's ears. Her little hands hugged Xiang Wan's neck tightly, and her little face kept rubbing against Xiang Wan's back.

"Mom, she bullied me!"

Xiang Wan raised his big hand to make the little girl lie on his back more comfortably. Xiang Wan tilted his head slightly and replied helplessly: "It doesn't matter, she often bullies dad too."

The little girl put her hands on her hips, pouted slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Huh! You're still bullying someone at such an old age!"

Hutao chuckled, moved her hand to her mouth, and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Slightly, slightly -"

"childish!"

"Get off your father quickly, it's time for him to carry me!"

"No! Daddy is mine!"

The little girl turned away and ignored Hu Tao.

"He is my husband!"

"He's my dad!"

Father and son Xiang Yang and Xiang Wan sighed at the same time while stroking their foreheads.

After a long time.

Hu Tao lay on Xiang Wan's back and pointed forward and shouted: "Yangyang, hurry up and follow with your sister~"

"It's coming soon~"

cemetery.

Xiang Wan took out various things needed for ancestor worship from the king's treasure house.

Offer incense, read blessings, offer rice soup, tea, silk, wine, food boxes, meat, offerings of blessings (blessings), burn blessings, and bow to gods.

Although the steps are complicated, Xiang Wan and Hu Tao have long been accustomed to it. For the past thirteen years, they have come to worship at this time every year.

As for my son and daughter, this is the first time I have brought them to worship. Because of Hu Tao’s work, they have been exposed to it since they were young, and they respect funerals and ancestor worship very much.

Xiangyang is Hutao's unofficial next leader, so he has learned more.

After Xiang Wan and Hu Tao paid their respects, they began to clean up the weeds beside the tomb.

After everything was over, Hu Tao stroked the tombstone, smiled softly and said, "Grandpa, we will come see you again at this time next year."

On the way down the mountain, Hu Tao held Xiang Wan's hand and pointed to the foot of the mountain from time to time. The two talked and laughed. The children behind them walked side by side, their little faces full of unhappiness.

What is worshiping ancestors? It’s obviously a show of affection in another place!

A special fragrance hit, Xiang Wan's expression condensed, and he protected Hu Tao behind him.

"You go and protect the child, leave this place to me."

Hu Tao squeezed Xiang Wan's big hand.

"Be careful."

A windshield appeared, firmly protecting Hu Tao and the two children.

"They deliberately set up an ambush when we were going down the mountain. I think you have already targeted us."

"Come out."

On the mountain road, a black shadow appeared, and his body exuded an evil aura from the abyss.

"You showed up specifically to let us finish our ancestor worship. It seems you are very confident in this ambush."

"Awei——!"

Following Xiang Wan's roar, countless golden swords appeared behind Xiang Wan. Xiang Wan waved his hand casually, and the sword quickly blasted away towards the black shadow.

Boom boom boom——

The mountain road instantly became riddled with holes, and countless gravel fell towards the valley.

The black shadow suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Xiang Wan, and a small emerald sword was inserted into Xiang Wan's chest.

Looking at this small sword, Xiang Wan felt his body tremble.

"This is……?"

"The sword you gave to Keqing."

"asshole!"

A strong wind instantly burst out from Xiang Wan's body, blowing away the black shadow.

Xiang Wan pulled out the small jade sword, which was a gift he gave to Ke Qing when they first cooperated. Since then, Ke Qing has never left his side.

"How does it feel?"

Xiang Wan looked at Hu Tao behind him and the two children in her arms.

"Hu Tao, take the children and leave first!"

"But……"

"Be good and be obedient."

Xiang Wan's figure flashed, looking at Hu Tao with tenderness in his eyes, and he shook his head imperceptibly at Hu Tao, and a gentle wind carried them away quickly.

After confirming that they had left, Xiang Wan's eyes fell on Liyue Port at the foot of the mountain, where smoke was everywhere.

"Are you worried?"

"Are you scared?"
