Chapter 72: Ancestor Worship
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the door is open.
Kaido heard the sound of firecrackers outside his house and knew that his father had gone to let go of the door.
On the first day of the new year, when the door is opened, the whip is to be released and those auspicious gods are invited into the house.
Therefore, there are many places where people have to open the door and release the whip as soon as it is past eleven o'clock.
That's because eleven o'clock is the first hour.
In a day of the lunar calendar, there are 12 hours: 23:00-00:59 in the sub-hour, 1:00-2:59 in the ugly hour, 3:00-4:59 in the Yin time, 5:00-6:59 in the morning time, 7:00-8:59 in the morning hour, 9:00-10:59 in the morning hour, 11:00-12:59 in the afternoon hour, 13:00-14:59 in the second hour, 15:00-16:59 in the Shen time, 17:00-18:59 in the unitary time, 19:00-20:59 in the morning time, and Hai time 21:00-22:59。
The time is the beginning of the day, so if you want to rush to welcome the auspicious god, you have to rush before others open the door to invite the god.
After all, the auspicious energy on the auspicious god is also limited. There are more people who arrive first, and then they decrease little by little until they run out.
However, Haizhai is a whip to open the door.
They believe that when you open the door, there is God waiting for you.
Of course, I don't know what god it is.
If during the year, your home is very auspicious, then after opening the door, it will be the auspicious god.
If something unlucky happens during the year, it is to invite another god.
There are thousands of gods, but not all of them are one god in a village.
If an auspicious god is in charge of ten families, then the people of these ten families will be auspicious.
Therefore, some people in a place are rich and some are bankrupt. Some get married, some get divorced. Various.
In order to grab the auspicious god, you definitely can't sleep until ten o'clock.
In that case, Yoshigami would have gone to other people's homes.
This is the annual opening whip is released by the navy, not by the sea channel.
But today, no more than other days, when you hear the sound of firecrackers, it's time to get up.
So, Kaido also got up.
Today is the day to worship ancestors.
The people of Haizhai are all ancestors, so they all go to worship their ancestors on the first day of the new year.
Before nine o'clock, all the people of Haizhai gathered in the Haijia ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall, there are tablets of ancestors of various generations.
First of all, the contemporary patriarch of Haizhai led people to kowtow to their ancestors.
After that, the patriarch reported to the ancestors in front of the tablet of the Emperor that the merits and demerits of the descendants of the Hai family this year. Ask for the blessing of your ancestors.
Generally, there is no major event, and merit cards are not recorded.
Only when there is a great joy in the family and there is an adult, will the merit card be recorded.
Therefore, for decades, the Haijia ancestral hall has not written merit cards.
However, this year, the merit card was recorded.
There are several major events recorded on this year's merit card: the man's illness in Haizhai has been solved by Haidao, and in the future, the men of the Hai family will be worry-free.
Second, Haidao helped Haizhai embark on the road to prosperity.
Third, the sea road makes the sea village famous all over the world.
In view of Kaido's contribution, the family decided that Kaido's name would be on the family gold list.
In the past two hundred years, on the family tree of the Hai family, there are only three people on the family's gold list.
Kaido is the fourth man.
And Kaido, who was kneeling below, was saying in his heart, "Why four? I don't like four." ”
It took more than an hour to worship the ancestors, and when it was over, it was almost eleven o'clock.
The latter procedure is to eat the "Long Dragon Banquet".
The long dragon banquet on the first day of the new year is not brought by each family.
This time it is the family's contribution, and on each table, there are six dishes, which means six or six great shuns.
From eleven o'clock until one o'clock in the afternoon, I ate for two hours.
There are also more than a dozen tourists, who also enjoyed this long dragon banquet for free.
After eating, the New Year's greetings, the relatives go to the relatives, each family decides for themselves.
And in the evening, the "long dragon feast" for tourists who come on the first day of the new year will begin.
For these, Kaido is able to hide.
During the meal, I had toasted the uncles, aunts, grandparents and paid New Year's greetings. So, didn't go out in the afternoon.
But the Kaido family was crowded with people until dark, and there was an endless stream of people.
It's all some young people, and they don't care about the bad saying that the afternoon New Year's greetings are bad, and they go to the sea house to pile up people to play.
The people who came were all smaller than Kaido, and the older ones were all married.
In the minds of these young people, Brother Dao and Uncle Dao are the most amazing people.
I made a fuss until dinner, and then I went back to my house to eat.
I can't eat much at all.
After drinking a few glasses of wine with his parents, Haidao went back to his room and called Xie Fei.
Before going to worship the ancestors this morning, Haidao had already paid New Year's greetings to some friends from other places.
After talking about eating the dragon's head banquet and saying "I miss you" again, Kaido fell asleep.
In his sleep, Kaido is awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
He immediately opened the window and noticed that the sound of firecrackers was fierce on the mountainside behind him.
"That's not a firecracker, it's a gunshot. Someone attacked the cave. Xiaoqi said.
Kaido's heart trembled.
Will the attack come to a residential building?
Thinking of this, Haidao immediately said: "Small device, open the protection of all the 200 houses in Haizhai." ”
"Yes!"
With a heartbeat, I saw that the doors and windows of the 200 houses in Haizhai were all automatically closed.
Moreover, the house became one, and the doors and windows could not be seen.
Just then, Kaido noticed that someone had broken into his door.
The two men rushed in before activating the protection.
Haido said to his parents, "You are in the room on the second floor, lock the door, don't come out, I'll kill them." ”
The mother was worried: "There are two of them. ”
Kaido: "Ten people are also my dish. ”
After saying that, Kaido jumped off the floor.
The two were searching on the first floor and were startled by the sudden jump of Kaido.
Before they could shoot, Kaido's hand was already slapped on them.
The two men immediately collapsed on the ground.
Kaido didn't clear their weapons either, and the two now, like a ball of cotton, couldn't shoot at all.
At this time, someone outside the house opened fire on the door.
Unfortunately, as soon as the bullet kicked the door, it immediately bounced back, but injured the two people who fired the shot.
Kaido went upstairs and found that there were also gunshots coming from the distillery.
He immediately dialed Cao Yang's number.
Cao Yang was bored at home, and after answering the phone, he asked, "What, are you bored too?"
"I'm bored? Kaido said.
"What happened?"
"Haizhai has been attacked by unknown armed forces. First there is the treasure cave halfway up the mountain, and then my home and winery. Kaido said.
"You wait!" Cao Yang immediately ran to his father's room.
When you come to the door, you can bang on the door.
Secretary Cao asked in the room, "Who is it?"
Cao Yang shouted: "Dad, something is wrong." Haizhai was attacked by militants, and gunfire erupted. ”
Secretary Cao hurriedly ran out: "How do you know?"
Cao Yang handed the mobile phone in his hand to his father: "Haidao said it." ”
As soon as Secretary Cao answered the phone, Haidao over there reported to him.
"What about the attackers?" asked Secretary Cao.
"Still outside my door, you listen to the gunshots. ”
There were gunshots on the phone, very intense.
Secretary Cao immediately said: "I'll report immediately." ”
