When the bride goes out, in some places, the bride's mother, or the elder of the family will hold a basin of water and splash it outside the door, which means "the water splashed out by the married daughter", which is nothing more than to let the bride understand the change of her identity, and to honor her in-laws and teach her husband and children from now on.

Amid the sound of firecrackers and the drums of the band, the procession of receiving and sending off the bride to the groom's house was lively. Around the 90s, some families did not hire bands in order to save trouble, and switched to playing joy on tapes on old-fashioned battery-powered tape recorders.

When the bride arrives at the man's gate, if she has not arrived at the time of returning to the door before the calculation, she must wait outside the door, and wait until the hour, before the right hand of the negative phoenix and the widow hold a red umbrella, and the left hand helps the bride forward, and when she arrives at the gate, the bride will sprinkle the "bride fruit" to the onlookers, and then the bride will be brought into the hall.

The hall has set up incense cases, with parents and elders standing on the east side, relatives on the west side, house relatives on the north side, and juniors on the south side. Before worshipping the church, the foreigner should hang red for the bridegroom, and drape it over the bridegroom with a five-foot red cloth, and at the same time read in his mouth:

"Holding a red flag five feet long, he used it to play the groom, so that the groom gave birth to a noble son, and the husband and wife were happy and happy. ”

Then the bridegroom stood on the left and the bride on the right, and the rite shouted:

"Worship heaven and earth. Two worship high halls. Husbands and wives worship each other. Sent to the cave room. ”

Generally, fortune tellers calculate the hour in the morning or morning, not more than 12 noon, so this is just a ceremony to send into the cave room, the bride and groom only take a short rest after entering, and then they have to attend the banquet, toast to relatives and friends, and accept the blessings of everyone.

"Bridal fruit" is a red bag carried by the bride, which is mostly red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, candy, etc., which means that the early birth of a noble son, the birth of flowers, the birth of lotus (children must have, do not only give birth to a boy or only a girl), and the candy represents the sweetness of the life of the two in the future.

The red umbrella in the hands of the negative phoenix is also particular, generally on the top of the red umbrella to tie a handful of grass, named "longevity grass", after the bride arrives at her husband's house, to find a flower pot to plant the longevity grass, meaning longevity 100 years old. This kind of grass generally needs to be durable, otherwise it will wither within a few days after moving over, and it is better not to plant it.

In the procession of sending relatives, the green dragged by the two boys is made of pine trees and cypress trees, the so-called "dragging green" has two meanings, one is for the bride to drag off the "fierce" along the way, so that the bride can reach her husband's house safely, in Hakka, "green" and "net" are homonyms; the second is that the pine and cypress symbolize the meaning of "a hundred years of good harmony" and "white-headed old together", implying that the love of the husband and wife will last forever.

Wang He and Mao Mao dragged Qing, came out of the old house and walked to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, and then they didn't have to walk, and the elders got on Uncle Fojin's tractor, and the car drove for more than an hour.

After Maomao got out of the car, she called her ass uncomfortable, and the second aunt smiled and said that it was already good not to walk, and she had to walk on two feet when she got married before, where there were four wheels to walk.

Wang He thought about it, he was not born when the eldest aunt married, and he was still young when the second aunt married, only the third aunt had a memory when she married. Today it is a journey of forty or fifty miles, and it is unbearable to walk on both feet.

Shima Village and Sha Tin Village are similar to each other, both are villages built on the riverside, and the fourth aunt's house is not on the hill like the king's house in Fengshuping, but in an old house not far from the entrance of the village.

When the tractor arrived at the entrance of Shima's village, it could not enter, and the people on the car got out of the car and began to walk, and on both sides of the road were patches of rice fields, and the seedlings were growing luxuriantly and pleasantly. Everyone walked a few hundred meters, and when they came to a large pond, the man in charge of picking up relatives came out, and the sound of firecrackers immediately crackled.

The two boys who picked up the green were a head taller than Wang He and Mao Mao, and it was estimated that they were already in junior high school, these two guys did not prepare to take the red envelope, Wang He smiled and whispered:

"If you don't take out the red envelope, we will shout, and when your parents hear it, not only will they not be able to keep the red envelope, but you will also be beaten, how about it, do you want to try it?"

The two boys looked at each other when they heard this, and one of them pretended to be vicious and said:

"If you have the ability, don't call an adult!"

Another chimed in:

"Yes, yes, those who shout adults are cowards!"

"Only those who don't have the ability to steal things. ”

Wang He didn't bother to talk to them:

"I'll say it three times, and if you don't give it, I'll start shouting. One, two......"

"Give it, give it, take it. ”

The two boys had no choice but to hand over the red envelope stupidly, and after taking the green, they threw down a sentence and turned to leave:

"Humph, coward!"

Mao Mao excitedly took the red envelope, put it in his pocket and whispered:

"Second brother, you still have a way. Last time when the third aunt returned to the door, if we did the same, there would be no red envelopes that time. ”

Wang He smiled:

"You remember this method, and if you and Erer drag you in the future, you will do the same. ”

Mao Mao nodded and said seriously:

"I remembered. ”

Wang He and Mao Mao followed the elders into the house, and after eating snacks, the elders were drinking tea, smoking and chatting, during which the third uncle asked about the rumored ancient tomb incident, and the man replied:

"Actually, it's all handed down, and the tomb is a tomb, but there is no gold or silver treasure at all...... The tomb is on the mountainside of the back mountain, there are archaeological experts from above, and there are public security officers sent by the town to guard it, even the people in our village can't look at it casually......"

"They're still here?"

Wang He was a little surprised:

"Is that tomb huge, and how long does it take to walk here?"

The human:

"At first, it didn't seem to be a big landslide, and then it was said that a new tomb had been dug up, and I hadn't seen it, but I just listened to the helper archaeologist digging the earth...... It takes less than an hour to walk through here......"

Through that person's introduction, Wang He had a general understanding of the situation.

When the village chief learned the news, there was only one ancient corpse left in the ancient tomb, and the things of some value were gone, because of the wet weather in the two days when the collapse came out, the ancient corpse really could not be effectively preserved, so it had to be re-entered into the soil for safety, and when digging next to it, another tomb was accidentally dug out, which was reported to the superiors, and the superior sent down the archaeological team.

On weekdays, the public security (Qiu Jianjun) and the young male archaeological team members slept in a makeshift shed next to the ancient tomb and took turns guarding the ancient tomb, while the archaeological team, with elderly experts and female comrades, rented a house at the foot of the mountain to stay.
