Chapter 814 Lively
"The sacrifice!"
The toothless priest shouted at the top of his lungs, sweat dripping down his skinny neck.
Dazhui beat the drum head and released a thin mist of water.
Boom, boom, boom!
At the beginning of July, the plum blossoms have not yet appeared, and the sky is overcast and rainy. The powerful and heavy drum beats fall into the heart like thunder. Tens of thousands of villagers bathe in the drizzle and watch silently.
The chain swung and the water beast came on stage.
The sharp knife penetrated.
The hot blood in my heart spurts out, and the billowing wind blows towards my face!
Children hug their parents' laps in fear.
The parents were not afraid, there was more excitement on their faces and their mouths were full of excitement.
Meat!
Good meat!
The idle man who had traveled dozens of miles early in the morning to join in the fun and wait for meat to eat saw the water beast losing its life with his own eyes, and his eyes were filled with shock.
The martial artist's four levels, galloping horses, and wolf smoke are too far away and blurry from the ordinary people, but the water beast that is much larger than a human is really in front of us. It can collapse a mud house when it rolls over, and it swings its tail like a dragon on the ground. Turning over, the light touched the edge, completely blocked by the sun, and I couldn't breathe in my chest.
The chain that bound it was thicker than a thigh, shining with a green light. When half of the iron ring hit the ground, it made a dent as big as a human head. Did it die like that?
Ui Heng River God Festival.
This annual festival is known to everyone in villages and towns within a hundred miles. After five or six years of perseverance,
It has become a grand festival well-known far and near.
After the ghost mother teaches things, people from different places gather together, which inevitably breeds conflicts.
The whole Yixing town is influenced by the atmosphere of the River God Festival. Even if it is a new arrival and is not familiar with the customs,
In the first year or two of life, I have smoothly integrated into it, I am happy and inspired by it, and it has become a rope very quickly!
in the crowd.
The foreigners who came back smelled the blood and still felt dreamy.
"Priest, okay!"
The ocher-colored robe was flying in the air, and the heroic young man climbed up the stairs.
Wow!
Long sleeves vibrate.
Juezhong's clear wine fell into the river, mixed with rain and blood, and created ripples.
[Sacrifice to the Huaijiang River, the river rolls Gudu +1.5221]
【River Volume View: 13.2064】
On the eaves of Liang's house, the ridged beast is bathing in the rain, standing upright and looking at the sky.
The blue hair dances, the lotus skirt flutters lightly,
Long Eying stood at attention, quietly looking at the figures on the high platform.
The figure fell, and so did she.
"Eh~"
Long Yao drawled his voice, hugged his shoulders, and shivered in the severe cold in summer, "Sister Eying and the elder are really disgusting.
Those who knew it went out for a long time to hold a big ceremony, but those who didn't know thought that the elders asked the court to send him to Saibei, where he worked as a coolie for more than half a year. "
"That's right." Long Li nodded in agreement, "My eyes are so stringy, if the elder doesn't give us a monthly salary increase,
I don’t think I can stay here any longer! "
"Up by ten taels!"
"Less, at least twenty taels!"
Long Yao and Long Li sang in harmony.
Otter opened his ears and moved his paws to count when he heard that the money had been raised.
"No big, no small!" Long Eying was annoyed. She raised her hand to form a thin ice stick and stepped forward slowly, "What's the monthly increase? I think the elder treats you two too well, and the bones are loose. As long as the family takes care of it, just give it a good beating."
"Liar, when did the elder establish the family law?"
"Rigid."
"Ah! Sister Eying, are you serious?"
"Fathers of the same race are killing each other, I want to tell the third elder! Ah!"
"Fortunately, I caught up."
Liang Qu put down his wine cup and stepped off the high platform.
As expected.
In his absence, the Yixing Town River God Festival was naturally postponed, from early June to early July.
It seems that this sacrifice is not prepared for the River God, but for him. It was planned to let the villagers know about it five or six years ago.
They were always cursing but not singing, but now there is no storm and no waves, and no villagers feel that there is anything wrong.
Moreover, although Liang Qu did not give any special instructions, the fat catfish and other animals still prepared the three sacrificial animals early according to the practice of previous years.
Therefore, on the "second day" after returning from the imperial capital, Chen Zhaoan only had time to hurriedly check in at the Hebo Station, and Chen Zhaoan completed the ceremony for the river god.
Favor is at hand.
Jianghuai Daze is calm.
"Did Jiaolong change his temper?" Liang Qu held his chin.
If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles.
Unknowingly, it has been two years since the Three Saints beat each other, and all the masters have become Arhats. The dragon has not recovered yet?
evening.
Villagers in Yixing trade meat for meat based on the amount of blue paint on their wrists.
One is for participating, and two is for receiving meat. One has two, and two does not have three.
Pingyang government officials beat gongs and drums, taking advantage of the large crowds during the festival to remind them of the curfew time for this year's Binghuo Day.
"This paint of yours is fake!" The flesh-cutting warrior firmly grasped the man's wrist and rubbed it hard. The blue paint was mixed with the leather and kneaded evenly, forming a paste. He sneered, "I dyed it with amaranth." Right? The old man’s paintings can’t be washed off or rubbed off!”
“This, this, this—
"He came to Yixing Town to cheat on food and drinks!"
"Get out of here and stay out of the way!"
There was a lot of noise and anger at the back of the team. The man who was trying to fish in troubled waters did not dare to quibble and ran away in despair.
I slept in early in the morning, but I didn’t make it in time——·
Before it gets dark.
Another gray-haired grandma came to the team, holding a seven or eight-year-old child in each hand who loved to pick his nose.
Unfortunately, there is no paint on my wrist.
After chatting for a few words, it turned out that he was unable to catch the big festival at noon because of his inconvenient legs and feet. The warrior asked the surrounding teams and confirmed that they were from Nanxun Town next door.
She lost her husband when she was young and has two sons and a daughter. The daughter married outside and the eldest son did not care about her. The younger son died early, leaving behind two grandsons. The grandson's mother remarried early and lived on an acre of thin farmland.
An old person without a wife is called a widow; an old person without a husband is called a widow; an old person without children is called a single; a young person without a father is called an orphan.
These four are the poor people in the world who have no complaints.
There are also people in the family who suddenly become seriously ill or disabled.
Former Liang Qu and Chen Qingjiang are typical examples.
A few of the larger towns and villages with slightly larger populations will quietly disappear every winter.
If Liang Qu hadn't broken through the tiger hunt and the imperial court exempted Pingyang Fuguo County from field tax for three years, life would have been just one step at a time.
The young man raised his head: "Brother Songbao!"
Lin Songbao, who was lying on a bench drinking mung bean soup, waved his hand.
"Okay!" Young man Ma Liu cut the meat with a knife and tied it with straw rope. "Three kilograms of fat and two kilograms of thinness for those over sixty years old. Two kilograms of fat and one and a half kilograms for those over fifty years old. Three kilograms for locals. Fat and thin, half of the foreign country.
According to the rules, if you don’t come, you can’t give it. Who told us that Yixing Town is the place of Xingyi? Grandma, your legs and feet are slow, and it is a foreign country. There are three people, one big, two small, so this time it counts as four pounds for grandma. Next time, grandma, remember to be early. Come, don't waste any more time. "
Grandma thanked her profusely.
"Next, next!"
Yixing Town has experienced no fewer than seven or eight large-scale sacrificial activities, and has experience in all aspects.
Under the orange-red sunset, the queue was long but not chaotic, with crowds of people surging forward in an orderly manner.
Liang Qu watched for a while, then went to the riverside place and found Li Shoufu in Juandu's room.
"Master Li, I didn't ask when I came yesterday, where is Xu Ti and his friends?"
When Liang Qu came to report yesterday, he noticed that Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin were not in the government office. He thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect that it would still be the case today.
"I don't know either." Li Shoufu shook his head, "I went out at the end of June and haven't come back yet. There must be something big going on."
Liang Qu understood.
Didn't bother.
I guess I missed something exciting again.
"Okay, remember to tell me when you get back."
"Don't worry, sir."
Just sacrifice to the river god.
Binghuo sunrise.
Two wheels appeared in the sky at the same time, and blazing lines of fire stretched across the sky.
at the same time.
Long Binglin jumped out of the pond: "Elder! The invitation is ready, we can go!"
