Chapter 109: The New Year's Gathering
It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The long village is brightly lit, and every house hangs red lanterns, which has some charm of ancient times. From time to time, people set off fireworks and bloom in the air in a colorful way, but there are not many, usually after eight o'clock, it will gradually increase.
Standing in Changcun, you can actually hear the bustle outside the mountain, but in fact, who knows that Changcun is the most lively?
The annual festival is held on the road that runs through the entire village, and it has been given a name: the New Year's Festival.
The festival starts at 7 p.m. on Chinese New Year's Eve. I remember when I was a child, before I even finished eating, children from the same village would come to call me to play, and I would excitedly put down my rice bowl, ask my mother to press the New Year's money, and then take my sister to join their camp.
And now, even after eating, there are no children shouting my name at my doorstep.
"Let's go." Su Xing turned off the TV, and the Spring Festival Gala was of no interest to us.
"Mom and Dad." I bowed my head and straightened the sacrificial garment, and the pattern on the sacrificial garment was beautiful.
"Mom has been playing with the women in the village for a long time, and Dad is still burning incense outside, and he will go to play later."
Outside, the laughter of a giggling child suddenly passed. I listened to the intermittent sound of firecrackers and fireworks exploding, and said with a light smile: "Aren't you going to play?" ”
Su Xing tidied up his sacrificial clothes, combed his hair, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you miss me?" ”
"Hmm."
"False answers." Su Xing cheered up and took a deep breath, as if he was thinking about something in his heart. "I'll go first. You go play. But remember to go to the cat temple to take a look more, I think the last time you talked nonsense was not that simple. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xing put on a lion mask and walked out of the house.
I watched his back disappear, secretly "cut", put on a mask, and followed.
There are more than 800 households in Changcun, with a population of about 2,050. The houses were all built together, and each house was lit up with red lanterns, and the road was bright.
There are also a lot of people who come out to play, accounting for almost 99 percent of the whole village, and only one percent may not be able to go out because of something.
So, on the road, many people wore various masks, and they didn't know which family the other person was. Of course, there are also adults, who are also dressed in bright sacrificial robes and wearing masks. The people who sacrifice are only teenagers under the age of 20, but the annual festival is a matter for the whole village.
Along the way, there were people wearing sacrificial robes and masks, and I walked through it, as if I had come to a fantasy world.
I followed Su Xing to the big road that ran through Changcun, which was super lively, with people coming and going, and stalls all the way. The beauty of the festival is not the colorful neon lights of the city, but the candlelight wrapped in paper, the taste of antiquity.
I hadn't seen this scene for many years, and I stood there stunned, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but show a nostalgic smile.
As a result, it was this stunned that Su Xing got into the rally and disappeared.
I was in a hurry, so I hurriedly walked in and looked around, but I couldn't find the back of Su Xing.
"Fack!" I puffed out immature English.
Now what? People are lost, and they don't know where they are. Forget it, I can only pray that this guy won't be impulsive, and I can also pray that Zhang Tan and Xiang Wenkou will be merciful.
So, I'll go shopping and go to the Cat Temple.
"Boss, how do you sell this?" As soon as I turned around, I came to a stall selling barbecue food.
"A string of dollars." The boss was also wearing a sacrificial robe and a mask, and there was laughter from inside, and the voice was an aunt.
I bought five skewers and started the real walk-around.
Hey, but it's the first time I've been shopping as a girl...... I've heard that girls are addicted to shopping, and I don't know if I will.
At the festival fair, there are not many things sold, but they are all homemade by Nagamura.
For example, the oil-paper umbrellas, rouge, and hairpins used in ancient times, I heard my father say that these are all technical work that has been passed down from generation to generation in Changcun. Although the usual Changcun is no different from other villages, once it is time for festivals or sacrifices, these things will be turned out, especially during the New Year.
My father told me that my grandfather ran across the river with a feng shui gentleman, learned some of it, and came back to show the people in the village feng shui, and saw a good ...... Well, it's pure nonsense.
Straight to the point.
After half an hour of shopping, I was alone, and no matter how lively the festival was, I began to feel bored.
I just bought some food, and I lost interest.
I can't play those firecrackers alone. Who am I playing for?
At most, the fireworks in the sky appear frequently, which attracts me for a while.
And then, it's not interesting. No one walked with me, no matter how delicious it was, it was boring.
Thinking, I'm going to go home. It's been half an hour, and I don't know if Su is done with the execution...... Ah no, it's wrong, it's the end, it's not the end.
As a result, as soon as I turned around, a firecracker sounded "bang", which startled me a lot, and the whole person trembled and shook off the rabbit mask.
Several bear children in sacrificial robes and masks laughed.
A few people next to him were also frightened and said angrily: "Which child of your family, how can you be so scary?" Firecrackers on the side! ”
"Listening to this laughter, he seems to be the bad boy of the old Zhang family."
"Forget it, the child is still young, so it's fun. Let's go over there. ”
The bear children tore off their masks and stuck out their tongues and grimaced at the backs of the three middle-aged men.
Then a little girl raised her head and said to me in a milky voice, "Sister, sister, you are so beautiful." ”
I was still in shock, not knowing whether to scold them for these bear children or to smile at them gently.
"Xiao San, run, run, run!" Suddenly, the group of bear children screamed and ran away through the crowd. When the little girl heard this, she shook cutely before she turned to follow.
I was wondering what these bear kids were doing with wool, but I saw the kid taking the lead with my mask.
"I'll rub!" The words popped out in my beautiful voice at the end, and the sense of disobedience was extremely serious, and others looked at me strangely.
An old lady said to the person next to her: "Whose girl is this, she is beautiful when she is born, how can she become dirty when she is exported?" ”
"It's the daughter of Su Zheng's family, who has been out for several years, and came back this time."
"No wonder the people of the city."
Su Zheng is my father...... Well, none of that matters.
The important thing is that my rabbit mask was taken away, and I have now chased after it.
"Stop! You bear kids! Put my bunny down! ”
But there were so many people at the meeting, and the little boys were as if they had been greased on the soles of their feet, and they were small in stature, and they soon ran away. And from time to time I had the strength to stop and slap my ass and taunt me, I couldn't catch them for a while, and my little face turned red with anger.
Because I had to squeeze people through, the speed was greatly slowed down...... And in the process of chasing, I was even rubbed with oil by a person.
Fuck, how could anyone do such a depraved thing in such a sacred annual festival?
