"This person came just in time, and the fortune teller must know the rules of worship. Chu Huairou said.
"Hehe, if you want to eat Wang Ba, there is a turtle. The fat man laughed.
Hearing the sound of talking in the temple, the blind man stopped, "Friend, can you let me in to take shelter from the rain?"
"No one can hurry with the house, so come in. Lu Pingchuan spoke in an urn voice, trying to make his voice sound like an adult.
"Thank you. The blind man thanked him, beat his staff, and when he entered the main hall, he groped his way and sat down against the wall on the east side of the doorway.
There was a bonfire in the hall, and by the light of the bonfire, everyone could see clearly the appearance of the blind man, who was not tall and looked unremarkable, although his eyes were closed, it was obvious that his eyeballs had shrunk and deformed, probably because he had been wandering outside all the year round, and his complexion was very dark and full of dust.
The blind man's clothes were already soaked, and when he sat down, he took off the burden he was carrying on his back, and groped to open it, which contained a change of clothes and a pair of old shoes, and some fortune-telling things, and in addition to a paper bag containing two pieces of bread.
The blind man took out a piece of bread and brought it to his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The people have been living here, and the poor and beggars have come to stay overnight, so the appearance of the blind man did not make them pay much attention, and the blind man had already opened the burden and showed the contents of the bag to the people, and the people were wary of him, and after the hot water was boiled, the south wind sent a bowl of hot water, and the blind man ate the bread with hot water after thanking him.
After returning to the original place, Nanfeng glanced at the blind man again, and when he delivered the water before, he found that the blind man's teeth were very neat, without tartar stains, which was contrary to common sense, not to mention people in their fifties, even people in their thirties rarely had such neat teeth.
The blind man finished eating the bread, Lu Pingchuan walked over to ask for the rules of worship, and the blind man answered, this person did not speak quickly, but not slowly, spoke clearly, rarely frustrated, peaceful and soothing.
After getting the blind man's guidance, everyone began to act, Lu Pingchuan took Mo Li out to make incense candles and yellow paper, and Nanfeng took the fat man out to find a rooster, the so-called engagement, in fact, is stealing. Looking, naturally, is also stealing, because they have no money.
Nanfeng and the fat man left the broken temple first, it was still raining outside, but it was already much smaller.
"Give me a sip. The fat man stretched out his hand to the south wind.
"What?" said Nanfeng casually.
"Wine wow. The fat man begged with a shy face.
Nanfeng waved his hand again and again, "There is not much left, I have to keep it for worship." ”
"Just one bite. The fat man continued.
The south wind shook his head.
"We're brothers in distress, and you don't want to take a sip of wine?" the fat man used the agitation method.
The south wind ignored him, and after getting on the main road, he walked quickly to the east. dudu1;
The fat man didn't get any wine, so he was very frustrated, and followed with his head bored.
After walking dozens of steps, Nanfeng stopped, took out the wine jug from his arms and handed it to the fat man, "Let's talk about it, just take a sip." ”
The fat man said yes and reached out and grabbed the flask.
Seeing that the fat man was not pulling out the cap of the bottle instead of the spout, Nanfeng hurriedly reached out to grab it, but he was too late to grab it, and the fat man had already poured a big mouthful.
The south wind shook the flask, and only the bottom of the bottle remained.
Seeing that the south wind was showing signs of anger, the fat man hurriedly gagged first, "I only took a sip of my words." ”
Nanfeng shook the wine jug again, making sure that the remaining bit of wine was not enough for one person, so he casually stuffed the wine jug to the fat man again, "Let's go separately later, you go steal the chicken, and I'll get another pot." ”
"Okay, okay. The fat man happily hugged the wine jug, "By the way, what did you say to Changle during the meal?"
Changle seemed to have a very serious concern, and when he asked him what was the matter, he refused to say. Nanfeng shook his head and said.
The fat man nodded and agreed, "This guy is not quite right, when you didn't come back, Boss Chu fed him medicine, and he lost his temper and knocked the bowl off." ”
"I'll ask when I have time," Nanfeng paused to look around, "I'll go south and meet here later." ”
The fat man waved his hand and walked east.
Wine is made of grain, at this time the food is not enough to eat, wine is naturally a luxury, taverns and inns are very strict about wine, it is very difficult to steal wine from the cabinet, and the wine on the cabinet is not the target of the south wind, the wine on the cabinet belongs to the store, always wandering around in this area, can not eat the grass by the nest, but the wine in the room is the guests who live in the hotel, and there is no trouble after taking it.
Late autumn is cold, rainy days are even colder, most of the guests in the hotel asked for drinks to drive away the cold, half an hour later, the south wind succeeded, for the call Hanako to steal is a life skill, simple begging has long starved to death.
When he returned to the rendezvous point, the fat man was already waiting there, shirtless, carrying his gown in his hand, and the inside was bulging.
The two returned the same way, and when they returned to the broken temple, Lu Pingchuan and Mo Li had already returned first, and the open space in front of the statue was also cleaned.
After returning to the ruined temple, everyone looked at Lu Pingchuan, and Lu Pingchuan once again asked the blind man sitting by the wall for advice, "Sir, you can do us a favor and point us out." ”
The old blind man was already lying down at this time, and after hearing Lu Pingchuan's words, he stood up with his arms and sat against the wall, "Righteousness is a major event in life, according to the regulations, it is necessary to give three sacrifices, prepare five grains, report eight characters, describe his life, write and pray for vows, and sacrifice to heaven and earth." ”
After the old blind man finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
"Sir, can it be simpler?" Lu Pingchuan frowned and spoke.
"Is it child's play?" the old blind man shook his head. dudu2;
Lu Pingchuan said, "Sir, we are like brothers in the first place, and today we are just going through the motions. ”
The old blind man did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment and said, "At this time, the left is respected, according to the elders and young, from left to right, kneeling in front of the statue of the god of the earth. ”
After the old blind man finished speaking, everyone began to rank and kneel, Chu Huairou knelt on the far left, Lu Pingchuan was second from the left, the fat man was third from the left, the far right was the little boy named Mo Li, the second from the right was Nanfeng who stole wine, and the third from the right was the mute girl.
"Changle, come on. Lu Pingchuan waved at Changle, who was sitting under the wooden pillar of the main hall.
Changle glanced at Lu Pingchuan and shook his head.
Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan frowned, raised his voice, "Come and kneel." ”
Seeing that Lu Pingchuan was angry, Changle buried his head deeply, "I don't want to affect you." ”
"What kind of?" Lu Pingchuan glared angrily.
"Changle, come on," Chu Huairou beckoned to Changle, "We are a family, how can we talk about it." ”
Changle looked at Chu Huairou, then at Lu Pingchuan, who was angry, and at those companions who had been looking at him, stood up straight, walked over and knelt between the fat man and the mute girl.
"A general account of the life of the eight characters. The voice of the blind man came from the south wall.
"Chu's family, named Huairou, Bingwu has been ugly, fourteen years old, Lingxi Village, Qinan County. Chu Huairou was the first to speak, because she had washed her face before, her appearance was more real, Chu Huairou had a goose egg face, soft facial features, and a very good face.
"The surname of Lu, the name Gang, the word Pingchuan, the time of Bingwu Bingzi Shu Yinzi, the fourteenth year, the Chang'an people's family, the son of Lu Zhengqian, the former Dali Temple commentator. Lu Pingchuan said loudly, Lu Pingchuan's facial features are extremely tough, his eyes are bright, and there is a heroic spirit hidden between his eyebrows.
"Big brother, what should I say?" the fat man tilted his head to the left.
Lu Pingchuan looked back at the blind fortune teller, "Sir, we are all orphans, and a few of us have never even seen our biological parents, let alone the eight characters of birth, and we don't even have a name or surname, how can this be good." ”
"Whatever you want. The blind fortune teller said casually that the worship of these little Hanako seemed to him tantamount to a farce.
"The fat man, thirteen years old, seems to be from the Linxian area, and he should be a person in April. The fat man said. A person's fat and thinness largely depends on the innate bloodline, the fat man has been fat since he was a child, but his skeleton is not small, although he is fat but not short, in addition, his eyes are large, but he lacks agility.
"Gongsun Changle, thirteen years old, was born at noon on June 18. Changle said. Although he is still young, his facial features have been contoured, and he is more rigid than Lu Pingchuan, with high cheekbones and convex eyebrow bones.
The big-eyed girl was mute, speechless, and worried, and the south wind on the side made a gesture at her, meaning to help her, and the girl nodded again and again.
Nanfeng cleared his throat, and said loudly with dumb fingers, "She doesn't have a name either, we all call her big-eyed, and she is also thirteen years old." ”
Not being able to hear the voice does not mean that she can't understand the mouth, the dumb looked at Nanfeng gratefully, and when Nanfeng turned her head and smiled at her, she hurriedly looked away. dudu3;
"Twelve years ago, I was thrown outside the gate of this temple, it was the master who watched the temple who saved me, and the south wind blew on the day I was picked up, and I got this name. Nanfeng said.
"Thankfully, there was no northwesterly wind that day. The fat man pouted.
Lu Pingchuan glared at the fat man, and then said, "Mo Li, it's your turn." ”
"My name is Mo Li, it was picked up by the eldest brother, I originally had a piece of jade, there were two words Mo Li on it, but that piece of jade is no longer there, a few years ago the fat man was sick, the eldest brother took that piece of jade, and the eldest brother said that he would redeem it and return it to me in the future, by the way, I am eight years old. "Mo is still young, and what he said is incoherent.
Seeing that everyone finished speaking, the blind fortune teller spoke again, "Swear." ”
"Read it to me," Lu Pingchuan looked around at everyone, waited for everyone to nod, and swore loudly, "The sky is above, today the seven of us are brothers and sisters, and we will share blessings and hardships in the future." ”
"Burn paper with incense. The blind man pointed again.
The people got up and burned incense on paper.
"Blood. The blind man said again.
Everyone didn't understand what it meant, but Lu Pingchuan and Chu Huairou understood, Chu Huairou looked at the fat man, "Go out and bring the rooster in." ”
There wasn't much wine, so he could only pour a bowl, and after pouring the wine, Lu Pingchuan urged the fat man, "Rub something, bring it." ”
"Big brother. "The fat man outside the door had a weird expression.
"Suffocated?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"No, it's alive. The fat man said.
"So what are you waiting for, bring it quickly. Lu Pingchuan urged again.
"This, this, it's blind in the dark, I can't see it clearly......" The fat man cowardly refused to enter the door.
"He must have caught a duck and came back. Nanfeng laughed.
"It's a chicken, it's a ......"
Just when the fat man was extremely embarrassed, the blind fortune teller relieved him, "If there are women among you, it is okay to use hens." ”
When the fat man heard this, he grabbed the hen and walked in.
Lu Pingchuan pulled out a dagger from his waist, cut the neck of the hen, dripped a few drops of blood into the bowl, squatted down and let Mo Li take a sip, and then the south wind, and when everyone finished drinking, they drank all the remaining wine, and then smashed the wine bowl hard, "If you are separated from morality and cannibalism, there is such a bowl......"
