68 Moon worship in the square
Because Han Jiujiu wanted to provide food and entertainment for the children in the whole village, a lot of various gadgets were prepared, and the group of people were busy, and it was August 15 in a blink of an eye.
It's not dark yet, and the whole village has already mobilized!
As a few major festivals in a year, Yongshan Village still attaches great importance to it, when it is four or five o'clock, the incense of the ancestors in the village has been rising, the beeping sound of candles, the light smoke of burning incense, to the whole village have brought a touch of fragrant fragrance, and then the wind blows into the long sky, I don't know if it really drifts with the wind to the sky where the ancestors live......
Han Jiujiu stood on the nine-curved bridge outside the door of the hall in the pool with his hands folded, the lotus leaves that grew up in the pool full of spiritual energy grew tall and big, just like a green wall, erected next to the nine-curved bridge, with wide and wide leaves, just like a dustpan, densely turned, occasionally revealing a few pink or white flowers.
Single-petaled, double-petaled, budding, fully blooming, and even withered and still dead with immature lotus flowers, of course, there are also all kinds of pink-yellow, dark green lotus canopies or arrogant, or clustered in the lotus leaves flying up and down to stick to their positions, melting in an elegant lotus fragrance.
Han Jiujiu stood quietly in the lotus bay near the twilight, holding his hands and listening to something, his fingers hitting his arms little by little, like dancing to the beat.
Suddenly, three or two crisp calls:
"Mother-in-law, we're all ready!"
"Little Ninth Sister said that she helped us occupy a place in the square."
"Are you ready to go?"
Han Jiujiu, who was pulled back to reality by their eager voices, suddenly smiled, put down his hand, and shook his head, as if to clear those dozing prayers out of his mind - today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to worshiping the moon and worshipping the ancestors, she, the land god, is also going to be sacrificed.
It's not a grand ceremony, only the village chief and a few uncles and uncles who are about the same age came over, the old grandfather who was originally in charge of the village sacrifice matters was sick recently and couldn't come together, but it didn't have any effect, a few people swept around the altar a little, the small temple has the blessing of Han Jiujiu and the two green dragons, there is no dust, and then send melons and fruits to pay tribute, burn incense, and recite a few prayers to bless peace and abundance.
Ritual-like things, nothing serious, that is, Han Jiujiu's discipline as a god made her listen carefully for a while, but since she had been interrupted by a few little goblins, she also stopped from the good flow, turned her head and replied: "Just come!" ”
Running across the twisting nine-curved bridge with the skirt is like walking through a tunnel made of lotus leaves, the wind is whistling, and the round leaves are swaggering, like a deep dream, and there is her clattering footsteps in the dream.
Until she ran to the bridge, the fiery red remnant sun from the west sky shone like a fiery afterglow, shining in from the gap in the lotus wall, she took a step, was slightly squinted by the dazzling, and when she opened it again, she saw the gate of the bridge, a bunch of dolls around a tall man leaning on a large pile of things, was chattering something, a mighty big black dog around them, carrying a fat doll trying to pull its ears on its back!
"Here we go."
As soon as the footsteps stopped, Han Jiujiu lifted the corner of his skirt, and the man turned around and smiled at her, his face, which always looked too cold and hard, seemed to be dyed with the warmth of the sunset, he looked at her slightly panting appearance when she gave up her divine power, stretched out his palm, and said, "Let's go together." ”
The wordless ambiguity heated up in the air, Han Jiujiu smiled and put his little hand into the big hand, and followed the force of his pull, and hummed softly: "There are many things, let's move a little by ourselves." ”
Looking at the four little teenagers who suddenly had an extra fat doll, she warned again: "Ah Xuan, Ah Jin, Ah Teng, Ah Cao, the spirit talisman on your body can only allow you to continue to transform at twelve o'clock in the evening, you must remember the time, don't make an accident of dropping the crystal slipper!" ”
The four teenagers and girls raised their hands and promised, "I know my mother-in-law!" ”
"I want to call Sister Jiujiu!"
"Hee-hee, yes! Sister Jiujiu~~~~"
Seeing that the four children had been done, Han Jiujiu touched the little guy on Douzhan who looked like he was at most one year old:
"Ah Tao, your spirit body has all turned into the peach tree, becoming the nutrients for the continuous growth of the peach, this body is also transformed by the spirit rune, the same time limit of twelve o'clock, but you are more special, remember not to eat anything, otherwise your spirit body will collapse in three moments."
Xiao Ah Tao raised her head, blinked her cute big eyes, and solemnly agreed with a handful of Lolita voices: "Okay, Tao Tao can do it!" ”
As he spoke, he twisted his body, which had become smaller due to lack of energy, firmly rooted in Dou Zhan's body with grinning teeth, and said proudly: "Occasionally, I will feed all the food to Dou Zhanda!" ”
Well, it seems that the shrinkage of her body has also affected her mind or something......
Han Jiujiu complained for a long time, but in a blink of an eye, he threw these aside, and Qiao Shi and Qiao Shi carried a large basket of things on their backs and rushed to the square where the villagers gathered.
At that time, almost every rural village would have a large square, or a drying field, which was specially used to dry grains, and it was generally located in the middle of the village at the head of the village and the end of the village, which was very wide, and it was usually a place for villagers to gather and chat and watch movies.
There are not many days of gatherings in the farmhouse throughout the year, so whenever you meet one, the conditions are slightly better will not be ambiguous, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the villagers set the table to worship the moon, but also invited the troupe on the street to come over to be lively, otherwise, the little nine sisters will not run to occupy a place before it gets dark!
One of them is not a person, and the other is not a person, carrying a backpack that is obviously several times larger than the other family, and they are not tired at all, with a string of large and small dolls, laughing and chatting, and they arrived at the main square after a while.
"Sister Jiujiu!!"
Before they could gain a firm foothold, they heard a call not far from the stage, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be Xiao Jiumei's sharp eyes, and they saw them at once, and they were waving their hands to come over.
"Over here, I've got a place for you!"
"Got it, little girl!"
Han Jiujiu smiled, nodded and greeted the parents who also looked at the little girl, after so long, she could already face the two parents in her previous life very well, smiled and borrowed from the people around her, came to them, and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry for you." ”
"No trouble, no trouble!" Han's mother waved her hands and smiled: "You help us take care of Ah Mei every day, this is called trouble!" Ouch, this little guy is so cute, that's what you said about your niece, right? ”
Mother Han's eyes lit up when she looked at Xiao Ah Tao who was riding on Dou Zhan's body, hugged her straight baby, held her happily, and asked, "How old is this little guy, you just brought her to this poor ravine, can her parents agree?!" ”
Well, until now, Han Jiujiu's identity has been identified as "a city girl who runs to the village every once in a while", she can go back at night, and if she can't go back, she will stay at a relative's house - as for which one of her relatives in the village is hers, under the confusion of the heart charm, no one has ever remembered to ask.
So Han Jiujiu replied unusually calmly: "Her parents are busy, so let me help take them for two days, and these four are the same, I think that I am bored at home, and I heard that there are activities in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the village, so I brought them over to be lively together." ”
"Hey, the village has become more and more lively in the past two years, and now there are guests who bring cameras to take pictures during the festival.
Han's mother is good at chatting, and she has been involved with Han Jiujiu for a long time, and the rest of Qiao Shi and Han's father are both silent, and they cooperate to set up the table, put melons and fruits and various snacks, and of course, burning incense is indispensable, after all, it is a moon worship!
You can make a table or spread a plastic one on the grass outside the square! Because the stalls of each shop are large, the whole village gathers together, where can a square be installed?
But it doesn't matter to everyone, the families who are good friends are getting together left and right, especially the doll teenagers, at this time, even watching the big drama has become a bypass, a group of children are floating around in the crowd like the wind, inviting friends to drink, groups of three or five, and experiencing this different night from usual.
"Yo, why do you bring so many things?"
At this time, Han's mother also found some differences, Han Jiujiu's two of them don't know what wood, the particularly large table, full of dense small things, from the common five-kernel moon cakes, lotus paste moon cakes, to rice cake moon cakes, hand-painted white moon cakes, all kinds of ponies, drinks, melons and fruits, and many small lanterns that have not been opened, etc., bits and pieces, magnificent!
Han Jiujiu said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's all gadgets that the children in the village are asking for, I told them that if they can complete the homework I gave them before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will agree to their request, who knows that they are so powerful, it's like playing chicken blood, and it was completed one after another yesterday, I always have to believe it!" ”
"This ...... How much does that cost! Those little dolls who instigated it? Hey, I have to tell the old grandfather to clean them up! ”
Han's mother was stunned, and then embarrassed, the homework that was completed yesterday, these things are definitely not well prepared for two or three days, that is to say, Han Jiujiu planned to send it from the beginning, what homework is just an excuse, the key is that Han Jiujiu is still a free extracurricular counselor, and if he has no money, he has to post it upside down!
Han's mother's simple values made her unable to accept this fact, and she was so angry that she pulled Han Jiumei over, planning to torture her to extract a confession-
Han Jiujiu hurriedly protected Xiao Jiumei behind him and explained: "Auntie, you're not right, I'm the teacher of most of the children in the village, I have to teach how I teach!" ”
"Besides, how much money can these things cost, we make them by hand, and we still use the rice produced in our village, at most, it is just a cost, and I call Xiao Jiumei to get a good score in the final exam, even if it is a reward for me as a little teacher!"
She was right, when the rice in the village was offered to her, the god of the land, a plate of rice on the table symbolized "ten thousand quintals of white rice", and what she got was the "symbolic number", so Han Jiujiu's food was too much to eat!
"This ......"
Han's mother just wanted to say how could this be, but the bear children over there seemed to have discovered Han Jiujiu's "unusual attraction" here, and their faces turned red one after another, excitedly "Sister Jiujiu!" "There was a bang.
Han's mother was squeezed out of Han Jiujiu's side by a group of enthusiastic children, watching her smile brightly and answering this surrounded by a group of leather monkeys, she was very busy, she couldn't help but sigh softly, and returned to her husband:
"Our village owes Xiao Han too much."
Father Han smiled and said, "It's okay, the baby's debts, when they are older, pay them back!" With the eyes of our fathers and mothers, they are all good children, and they can't make mistakes! ”
"If only that were the case......" 166 Reading Network
