厍zhai, that is, snake village! is a homophonic word.

Along the way, Tong Luoying also told Lin Xiao about the origin of the village, according to legend, the people of the village are the descendants of the ancient country, the whole country is located in the Bal Mountain, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were destroyed, and the surviving people migrated everywhere to avoid disasters.

The people of the country advocate the snake totem, and have been catching snakes and raising snakes for thousands of years, on the one hand, they fear snakes, and on the other hand, they are in the company of snakes.

To this day, under the impact of modern civilization, the people of the country have also retained their traditional customs.

The Snake King Festival is a must-have festival in the country, the importance is comparable to the Spring Festival in China, and it is the annual reunion day of the Wei people.

Therefore, the building is draped in red and green, and the serpentine flag flutters in the wind, all symbolizing the festive atmosphere of the festival.

Lin Xiao was just about to step on the door, but he was on duty in front of the building plate, but the young man from the two-year village stopped him and said meticulously: "Wait, we need to verify our identity." ”

Seeing this, Tong Luoying hurriedly went up to relieve the siege, and said with a smile: "Batu Baman, you are guarding the door again this year." ”

The two young men were stunned when they heard this, looked at her carefully, and said happily: "Sister Luoying, why are you only coming back now, you haven't seen you for a year and become beautiful again." ”

"You two little ghosts, when did your mouth become so sweet, but it's a pity that I came back in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any gifts. Tong Luoying, like an elder, patted the two half-sized children on the shoulder.

The two looked at her stupidly, and said in unison: "Sister Luoying, you are the best gift, I said I would marry you." ”

"What do you mean? Sister Luo Ying is mine, why are you robbing me!" Batu scolded in displeasure.

Ba Man was not to be outdone, "Joke! Sister Luo Ying is not your own, why can't I rob it? Besides, we Wei people pay attention to fair competition, and it is not certain who Sister Luo Ying likes. ”

As he spoke, the twins quarreled inexplicably, and Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.

The corners of Tong Luoying's mouth twitched, and she stopped in time: "Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to see you two little kids quarrel, my sister already has a boyfriend, you still have to die of this heart." ”

"What?" Batu Baman was both taken aback and glared at her incredulously, "How can you have a boyfriend, who is qualified to be your boyfriend except for me Batu (Man)!"

"Who is he?!" asked Batuba in unison.

Before Tong Luoying could answer, their fierce eyes glanced at Lin Xiao, and said with bad intentions: "Boy, are you her boyfriend?"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Is there a problem?" ”

Before he came, he had already discussed with Tong Luoying, and he would participate in the snake king with the relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend, otherwise Lin Xiao would be treated as an outlier.

The two of them didn't say anything, they each took out a string of silver bells and shook them in front of him, and then said contemptuously: "You can't go in, you haven't planted Gu yet, and you don't belong to our Wei clan." ”

Tong Luoying's face turned blue and said: "Batu Baman, don't make trouble, I said that he is my boyfriend, and I was about to take him to see Granny Sang." ”

The Wei people have strict precepts, and in order to protect the secrets of the Wei people, weddings and funerals need to be witnessed by Sang Wanbai.

Including making boyfriend and girlfriend, if the other party is someone other than the Wei clan, the two must come to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors before they are combined, and Sang Wanbai will personally plant Gu for him.

However, Batuba was resolute: "No, he is a foreigner, and he can't participate in the Snake King's Festival." ”

"You!" Tong Luoying's eyebrows were upside down, and the roots of his teeth were itching with anger.

At this moment, a white off-road car drove over, looking at the mud stains all over its body, you can imagine what it has experienced along the way, and the road in Cangxi Mountain is not suitable for driving.

Bang, with the sound of the door closing, a middle-aged man with a big belly stepped out of the SUV, followed by three companions in the car.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Xiao, smiled at Tong Luoying and said, "Girl, is this your boyfriend?"

"I've seen the right deacon!" Tong Luoying saluted immediately, and then replied quietly, "That's right, he's my boyfriend." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and asked amiably, "Young man, what's your name?" ”

Lin Xiao said indifferently: "Xiao Ling." ”

God knows if the matter of the bee clan has come here, so in order to save unnecessary trouble, Lin Xiao decisively chose to change his appearance halfway.

The middle-aged man nodded carelessly, set his eyes on the two of Batubaman, and said sternly: "There is no good thing, if you don't have the ability to pursue the woman you like, you will make it difficult for a foreigner, the face of the Wei tribe has been lost by you, intermarriage with foreign people is a necessary condition for the development of our Wei tribe, no one can stop it, have you forgotten the rules of the Wei tribe!"

Batuba was taken aback, but he was still not convinced, and said in a low voice: "But this guy hasn't planted Gu yet, he is not our clansman, and he can't participate in the Snake King's Festival in the first place." ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, lazily ignored him, and turned to Lin Xiao and Yan Yuese: "Let's go, I'll take you in, and when you plant Gu, you will be a new member of our Wei clan." ”

Batuba muttered sourly, but he didn't dare to stop it anymore, after all, the authority of the right deacon was not something they could provoke.

Successfully passing the building card, the group walked to the depths of the village, Lin Xiao noticed that the houses here are very retro, most of them are wooden stilted buildings, and there is no electricity, this place is much more backward than the Divine Bee Village.

"How long have you been talking to Tong Yatou?" the middle-aged man was very enthusiastic, asking questions along the way.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to perfunctorily say: "It's been two or three years." ”

"Oh!" the middle-aged man laughed, and said with a lovely smile: "That's really a long time, and the boy girl told you about our Wei clan, right?"

"That's it. ”

The middle-aged man said meaningfully: "Then aren't you afraid, although there are few people in our Wei tribe, they are not ordinary people." ”

"Don't be afraid, we will all be a family from now on. "Lin Xiao has a ride or not, and he opens his eyes and talks nonsense.

The middle-aged man suddenly smiled dumbly, nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, we will be a family in the future, let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Yuebin, I am the right deacon of the Wei clan, you can also call me Uncle Wu." ”

"Hello Uncle Wu. Lin Xiao screamed symbolically.

Wu Yuebin laughed heartily, patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, and took the initiative to explain to him the customs of the Wei people.

After talking, the group soon stepped into the colorful Snake King Temple, at this time there were already many clansmen gathered in the temple, they were wearing modern clothes and were no different from ordinary people.

Above the hall of the temple, there is a majestic stone sculpture of a golden giant snake, and there are two chairs next to the stone carving.

"I've seen the right deacon!" As soon as Wu Yuebin came, people saluted respectfully and automatically gave way.

Wu Yuebin seemed to be accustomed to this kind of compliment, nodded slightly, and sat on the right seat expressionlessly, looking down at everyone present.
