675.The Ghost of the Year (4)

The fish and turtle were brought back, and Ao Muyang roasted them with salt along with the fishing nets.

The twenty-eighth of the lunar month, the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, and then the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ao Muyang's house was lively, Lu Zhizi was here, Heilong took it back, Zhong Cang and his wife came over, Ao Zhibing stayed behind, and Zhu Zhu and the sixth sister also stayed here.

Staying in the village is more lively, Zhu Zhu likes this kind of noise, refuses to go home, Yan Qingcheng has no choice, can only temporarily decide that she will also come over for the New Year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

This has the advantage of having because she has to return to the company around 10 o'clock every Chinese New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year with the employees who stay at the company.

Every year to this day, she generally accompanies her daughter for the New Year, and then coaxes her daughter to sleep, and then goes to the company by herself.

In the afternoon, Yan Qingcheng arrived by helicopter.

Ao Muyang went out to pick her up, and saw someone tossing and beating gongs and drums at the entrance of the village.

Yan Qingcheng also saw it and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ao Muyang looked at it and said, "It's a New Year's ghost, right? Thirty is usually this activity." ”

The word 攴 is derived from the oracle bone inscription, which belongs to the ancient text, which means to hold a staff and knock on the meaning, and it is also a very ancient tradition to knock on the year ghost and drive away the year ghost.

This event takes place on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the old year is about to pass and the new year is coming, so that thousands of families will be safe and happy to celebrate the New Year, so it is necessary to exorcise all the demons of the world so as not to breed disasters.

In recent years, the activity of holding the ghost has become very rare, because the main actor of this activity is a ghost, and ordinary people cannot play it, and traditionally it can only be played by beggars.

The standard of living in the country is getting higher and higher, and street beggars are already rare in the towns and villages, but more common in the cities, just the opposite.

This situation is well understood, now beggars are professions and need market support, rural markets are too small, people in the cities have money and sympathy, and beggars are doing business in the cities.

This year, there are beggars who come to Longtou Village to perform the activities of the New Year's ghosts, which is estimated to be related to the growth of the village's fame, and the beggars also know that the people in their village are making money, so they come to perform to make money.

There are at least three people to hold the ghosts, one is a beggar to play a ghost, the other is a ghost hunter Zhong Kui, and the other is Zhong Kui's entourage.

After the three of them entered the village, they found the biggest fishing house at the door, and walked around the fishing house one by one.

Because from a traditional point of view, this activity is to sweep away evil obstacles and clean up filth to pray for the master's family, so the villagers are very welcome, and they all take money to stay at the door, and when Zhong Kui drives away the ghosts, they will give the money to their entourage.

These people chose the right village, Longtou Village has made a lot of money with tourism this year, every household has money, people have rich pockets, and they are willing to pay money, at least they have to prepare a ten, usually twenty or even fifty yuan, and the three of them have collected a lot of money.

Walking around the village, the three of them turned to the door of Ao Muyang's house.

Ao Muyang's house is a new building, the beggars' eyes are very poisonous, they can see at a glance who is rich and who is not, they did not go to the poor people's homes to ask for their own boring, but specifically to find fishermen and rich people to make trouble.

Zhu Zhu and the others ran out to see the excitement, first the ghost played by the beggar ran into the courtyard, he was ragged, covered with black rags, and his face was black with ink, which looked terrifying.

Chasing after the beggar was Zhong Kui, and he had to give the Nian ghost time to hide, so he chased slowly and leisurely.

Zhong Kui wore a martial arts hat, a red beard on his face, a sword in his hand, an iron rope around his waist, and the entourage behind him carried a burden, carried a burden, and had a gong in his hand.

The ghost ran in front, Zhong Kui chased behind, and the entourage shouted 'catch' in cooperation, and at this time Zhong Kui swung his sword to drive the ghost away.

Today's harvest is a lot, and the New Year's ghost is full of joy in his heart, and he is very energetic when he runs.

Seeing the new building of Ao Muyang's house, his heart was even more beautiful, what he saw was not a building, this was a piece of RMB.

Pushing the door open, he wanted to go in and put on a show, but as soon as the door opened, a fat, strong, shiny dog stared at him.

A meow sounded on the wall above him, and he looked up in amazement to see a fat cat licking its paws with its tongue in bad spirits towards him.

A dark shadow appeared, and an eagle flew up......

Ao Muyang was afraid of scaring people, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, this cat and dog don't bite or scratch people, don't worry." ”

The beggar sneered: "That's the best, I'm a supernumerary of the beggar gang, I haven't learned to beat a dog, if it really bites me, then I can't stop it." ”

The general is so powerful that the beggar decides to avoid it and go to the backyard.

As a result, he made a detour into the backyard, and saw a huge sea serpent as thick as his arm crawling out of the pool, and suddenly coiled into a snake formation and stared at him with cold eyes.

This scene was so shocking that the beggar's legs were weak and he knelt down directly......

Zhong Kui walked with righteous and awe-inspiring steps, and he shouted decently: "Where can the ghost escape! If you hide, you should be a book—uh, what are you kneeling here? such a big snake, poisonous snake!"

Ao Muyang went over and dragged the snake king away and threw it into the pool, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the snake is raised at home, and it doesn't bite." ”

"What kind of house is this horse?" the beggar was frightened, "Let's go, go to the next house, this horse ghost doesn't dare to come in, it's a cat, a dog, an eagle and a poisonous snake, and the ghost has to take a detour when he sees it!"

Ao Muyang was speechless.

Zhong Kui also refused to go to his house, he relied on momentum to play Zhong Kui, and he had to look mighty, but after seeing the huge poisonous snake, he felt that his legs began to tremble, how could the trembling Zhong Kui catch ghosts?

Zhu Zhu regretfully handed the prepared hundred yuan to the entourage, and the entourage received a big ticket, but he had a professional ethic, and said, "Why don't we shout at the door?"

"Shout, shout. The beggar said cooperatively, they shouted hastily, and then ran together, Zhong Kui ran faster than the ghost......

Prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, and the yellow thorn fish and the big king eight harvested the day before yesterday come in handy.

Ao Muyang had already slaughtered them and roasted them with salt, which would open his stomach again, keeping Wang Ba still biting the fish and the fish stabbing into the turtle's body, and put them in the pot together.

Half of the water is put in the pot, so that after the soft-shelled turtle is put into the pot vertically, the mouth is just on the surface of the water, and the yellow thorn fish on the top of its head is not in the water.

Seeing his operation, Yan Qingcheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Ao, your cooking skills are really exquisite, this is the first time I've seen this kind of practice." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Don't talk about you, it's the first time I've seen it, haha." ”

He came up with such a practice after seeing the turtle biting the fish and the turtle stinging the turtle.

There were many people and vegetables, so Ao Muyang simply called Song Qiumin and Ao Xiaoniu over.

Song Qiumin is stubborn and reluctant to go to other people's homes for the New Year, Lu Zhizi called her and said: "There are many people in the New Year, and there are few people who are deserted, I won't say this reason, what I want to say is that the New Year is a special festival, and the lonely and lonely environment affects the child's mental health, which will make his personality gradually become withdrawn......"

In this way, there are two more people in Ao Muyang's family.
