This is the end of Li Li's case. www.biquge.info Just as we were about to leave, Lin Yao happily dragged us to his hometown, a remote village, where no car had yet arrived, so we had to take an ox cart to get there. All the way, mud, dust, flying. Lin Yao himself said that since he moved to the city with his parents when he was a child, he has never returned to this place. A week ago, he suddenly met his childhood playmate, he didn't recognize him, but they recognized him, and after a few pleasantries, the man invited Lin Yao to come to the village next week to participate in the annual festival. The so-called annual festival is a unique traditional festival that prevails in western Guangdong, and even more important than the Spring Festival. As for the form of the celebration, it is very grand. Before the start of the year, each household has prepared chicken, pork, and fish to make a pair of "three animals" for the Bodhisattva to enjoy, called "Jiao". The so-called Jiao, each household selects the fattest big gelding chicken in the family, removes the hair and internal organs, soaks and matures into golden brown, puts it in the tray upright, the head of the chicken is slightly bent upward, and a knife is added next to the cooked pork and a fish, commonly known as "three livestock", which is the main offering of the Jiao, accompanied by candy, three teas and five wines and incense candles to be enshrined on the table of the eight immortals.

From 6 o'clock in the morning, the Bodhisattva goes out to patrol the village, very lively: the thunder, the Bodhisattva sedan chair, the gong and drum suona, the flag and lantern and the big umbrella, the sacrificial vessel and the paper boat, followed by the Taoist priest and the hawker who do some small business, a team out on the tour. The Bodhisattva has to patrol from morning to night, of course, the person who is selected to carry the sedan chair carries the sedan chair to patrol, one household at a time, and it will never be empty. There will be many other shows on this day, such as puppet shows, lion dances, big shows, fireworks and so on. On this day, the host will also invite many relatives and friends to have a drink, which is very lively. In some places, there is also a link of "sending ghosts", the so-called sending ghosts, that is, burning paper boats, this has to be carried out by professional Taoist priests, he will walk on the street while chanting mantras and the like, holding paper boats, shouting: "Please get on the boat!" This sound is not for people, but for the ghosts in the vicinity. This also meant that the ghosts in the neighborhood crowded into the boat. When he arrived at the river, the Taoist priest threw the paper boat into the river, and the paper boat passed away with the current, which meant that the ghost had floated away. At this time, it means that the year is coming to an end, and the Bodhisattva should be sent back to the temple. In some places, the "Bodhisattva Parade" is also called "Wandering God" or "Welcoming God", and the name of each village is different. On that day, all the men and women of the village, young and old, carried their arms and shoulders, gathered the prepared offerings at the head of the village or in an open space in the village, and set up the offering table. The scene was lively. In addition, the relatives and friends invited to come to the dinner together, and the rich offerings prepared for God were generously placed in front of God for a while, and then taken home without any damage, and after some deep processing, they were placed on the dining table, so that the guests could eat a feast of fish and meat.

Among them, the three links of lion dance, wandering gods, and exorcism are indispensable. The reason why Lin Yao agreed to others was also out of curiosity, and he only stayed in the limited memory of this "wandering god" in his childhood. What's more, after Li Li's incident, he seems to be more and more interested in the theory of gods and ghosts. No, he just dragged us along. The reason why Lin Yao has not returned to his hometown for so many years is also because his parents died early, Lin Yao grew up in his relative's house, and he can be said to know nothing about this village.

When we arrived at the village, we were greeted by an old man who looked simple and honest, which was also the old man who invited Lin Yao to come here for the New Year. Lin Yao called him Uncle Rong, and we shouted like this with him. He is very polite and sincere, compared to the drunken gold fans of the city, there is more simplicity and simplicity here. If the life of the city is called emptiness, then it is solid. Uncle Rong's house is not very big, bungalow, three rooms. There are still two days left before the New Year's holiday, and I will stay in one room with Uncle Rong's daughter, and the three of them will be in one room, and the rest will be Uncle Rong and his wife. However, Uncle Rong's daughter was selected to play a big umbrella this time, that is, the Bodhisattva went out on patrol to play a big umbrella next to the sedan chair, and he had to go to cleanse himself two days in advance, which is also one of the customs here. Bai Xuanzhi said in a joking tone on the side, if I am afraid of sleeping alone, he will not mind coming to my room to make a bunk. Seeing a wicked smile on his lips, I gave him a blank look. I deliberately twisted his fingers to stop him from being so embarrassed. He couldn't help but smile and look at me gently, trying to subdue my resolve with the temptation of beauty, but his trick didn't work for me. I glared at him the same.

Uncle Rong entertained us with good wine and food, and every family in this village made a living from farming, and most of the vegetables were self-sufficient and fresh. Even a simple dish of scrambled eggs with radish is more delicious than the eight treasures. Bai Xuanzhi took special care of me, peeled the shrimp shell for me and put it in my bowl, and put the fish meat with the thorns in my bowl, I was embarrassed with a red face, but he didn't mind at all. I simply lowered my head and ate, I can't waste his kindness.

The night in the countryside is very quiet, without the noise of the city. After dinner, we chatted with Uncle Rong for a while. After the end of the show, it was already dark and I couldn't see the distant scene. Bai Xuanzhi gently pulled me and asked me to go for a walk outside with him. Lin Yao just wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhang Lin, he glanced at Lin Yao, and muttered: "The two of you go for a walk, what are you making a fuss about, let me tell you, last time you had a ...... case" He pulled Lin Yao into the house while talking.

Bai Xuanzhi and I walked side by side, not speaking to each other. Tonight's night is very beautiful, and it reminds me of a poem: The moonlight is like water and the sky is like water, isn't it just the beautiful scenery of this moment? This area is all farmland, and it still maintains the most pristine scenery. Bai Xuanzhi led me to a large white limestone with black patterns, which seemed to be the place where the people here used to wash their clothes, and the foam left on it could be seen. Sitting on the clean side of the marble, the reflection of two figures stretched in the moonlight. I looked at the bright moon in the sky, and somehow, a sentence suddenly burst out: "The bright moon shines on my heart!" Bai Xuanzhi smiled lightly, followed my gaze, he looked at the bright moon in a daze, and thoughtfully read a sentence: "Yes!" No matter how things change, that bright moon has never changed! After the vicissitudes of life, I suddenly looked back on a dream. I glanced at him quickly, he was too sentimental!
