Chapter 578: Funny Exorcism Ritual
The day of the thanksgiving of Splendid Village is already the end of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.
At this time, the weather here has only entered early winter. The north wind blew cold, but it couldn't resist it, and the heartiness and fiery laughter of the villagers revealed.
People are busy with what to exorcise evil spirits, but Wu Xiao is not cold, this buddy is sitting in the grass in front of the thatched hut, with four wild dogs lying next to him, enjoying the warmth of the winter sun.
The rising winter sun shines on people, and the warm feeling is indescribably refreshing.
"Wu Xiao, you also have firecrackers in this hut." Song Chunhua's voice suddenly rang out.
Wu Xiao turned his face and said loudly: "No, this is my thatched hut, and when the firecrackers are set off, they won't catch fire." ”
Song Chunhua felt right, and asked with a smile: "Then what should I do?" ”
"That's superstition, I don't want to. You see, for today's thanks, women from other villages don't dare to come. Wu Xiao also said with a smile.
"Hey, you told me it's okay to be superstitious, but don't talk nonsense in the village." Song Chunhua even said with disgust, and then reached out and pulled the buddy's arm.
"What?" Wu Xiaozhan also came to ask.
Song Chunhua Danfeng's eyes were coquettish, and she said, "Help, I don't need to help, Qiaoyu is alone." ”
Also, Wu Xiao smiled, raised her hand towards this beauty, and pinched her pale red cheeks blown by the north wind. It's so beautiful, pinching it is a cherishment of such a good look.
Song Chunhua raised her hand and slapped this buddy lightly, turned her face to observe in all directions, and saw that there was no one, and her pretty face was also on this buddy's face.
"Uh-huh!" This beauty let out two soft sounds, and when the delicate red opened, it also revealed a fresh breath.
In broad daylight, let's just do it. Wu Xiao also stretched out his hand and gently hugged her soft back.
"Wu Xiao!" There was another voice shouting from behind the hut.
"Oops!" Song Chunhua hurriedly called, her pretty face turned, and she immediately walked away.
It's Su Qiaoyu, this beauty, who asked Wu Xiao to help.
"Okay, let's go, it's eventful." Wu Xiaoyi said, followed the two beauties and walked to the village.
Don't mention the liveliness in the village, Aunt Celery, an old superstitious person, led a group of village aunts and sisters-in-law to gather in front of the land temple at the edge of the village. Anyway, if you want to thank the land first, you have to inform the land lord first.
"Are you done talking to the land lord?" Wu Xiao followed Su Qiaoyu and asked when she walked into her house.
"That's it." Su Qiaoyu responded, "hee" and laughed, what do you mean, that's worshipping the lord of the land.
Wu Xiao looked at this beauty, and the things used for Xie Tu were also stupid. In the middle of the house, there is a round table with five plates of vegetarian dishes, two fruits, and three dishes that must be fried in vegetable oil. There are also three plates, each containing an animal.
"You still don't understand, this is called three animals." Su Qiaoyu stretched out her hand and pointed to a piece of pork, a chicken and a steamed silver carp on the table.
"Why is there still one on the ground?" Wu Xiao looked at the bottom of the round table, and there were the same things as on the table, but they were all raw, and asked strangely.
"You really don't understand?" Su Qiaoyu's big eyes also revealed anger, and then he said again: "The one on the table is familiar, and it is to respect the gods of the past." What is left on the ground is raw, that is, it is eaten by what will be driven away. ”
Wu Xiao still didn't understand, so he smiled and asked again: "Then how do you know that a god just happened to pass by?" ”
Su Qiaoyu was speechless for a while, blinked her big eyes and thought for a while before saying, "It doesn't matter, it's like this anyway." ”
Wu Xiaocai wanted to ask again, but this beauty was not happy, so she stared at her big eyes and said, "Hang these to the windows, doors and the four corners of the walls."
"What's that good?" Wu Xiao asked again.
Su Qiaoyu didn't answer, and from the kitchen, he brought out four or five fertilizer bags of things.
Wu Xiao opened a bag and immediately fainted, it was all threaded together with needles and threads, strings of paper money, bells and whistles.
"A string hangs in every window." Su Qiaoyu explained again, and then she took out two small red plastic buckets herself.
Wu Xiao really wanted to learn, and stood next to Su Qiaoyu with a smile, treating her as a master.
"It's not hanging yet, it's according to the hour." Su Qiaoyu's beautiful eyes sneered and said.
"Don't be nervous, a few strings of things can be done in five minutes." Wu Xiao didn't care and continued to study.
Su Qiaoyu opened up, in a plastic bucket, almost half of rice and coarse-grained sea salt, poured it into the plastic bucket, and put her hands in it and stirred evenly.
What is the use of this kind of rice and salt, Wu Xiao understands, and the legend is that it is the most powerful weapon to drive away evil spirits.
"Wait a minute, I'll sprinkle salt in the front, and you'll spray this water in the back." Su Qiaoyu said as she put a pomegranate branch with leaves and a branch of fairy grass into the half of the small plastic bucket.
This Wu Xiao also understands that the people on the pomegranate branch side are called "red flowers". This half bucket of water and half a bucket of salt and rice actually represent good and evil. The salt and rice in the front drive away the evil spirit, and the water in the back sprays on, and no evil dares to turn back.
"Just take these two sticks, stick them in water and throw them around, and the faster you throw them, the better." Su Qiaoyu said as she took the safflower and fairy grass in her hand and demonstrated it.
Wu Xiao could only nod, it looked like a prospective elementary school student who had just graduated from the kindergarten class and was about to enter the first grade.
Su Qiaoyu stood up again, walked upstairs, and when she came down, she was holding a large string of firecrackers in a circle, about the size of the table top of the round table.
"Damn, big killer?" Wu Xiao also had to marvel.
Su Qiaoyu smiled "hee-hee": "This string of firecrackers should be set off from the third floor and put at the entrance of the village, and it can't be stopped in the middle." ”
"Wait, the firecrackers are dumb in the middle of the firecracker, that's normal." Wu Xiao hurriedly said.
"Then hurry up and order it." Su Qiaoyu said, and walked upstairs with firecrackers again.
"No, it's going to take three people!" Wu Xiao's head is normal, firecrackers, salt and rice, and half a bucket of water act together, just one person is missing.
Su Qiaoyu came down and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Celery, they are in charge of the firecrackers in the whole village." ”
Wu Xiaocai nodded, and before he could speak, he saw Aunt Celery's figure appear outside the door.
Good guys, Wu Xiao looked at these village aunts who were responsible for setting off firecrackers, all of them were like death squad members who had just been established. Look at their expressions, solemn and without losing the wildness of the village aunt.
"Aunt Celery, patrolling?" Wu Xiao greeted with a smile.
"Hmm!" Good guy, Aunt Celery is like a master's existence, and today she didn't put Wu Xiao in her eyes at all, she let out a sound in her nose and put her hands behind her back.
"Qiaoyu, how are you preparing?" The old superstitious asked, walked to the round table where the things were placed, looked at the place of the things, and nodded in satisfaction.
"It's all here, wait a minute, Wu Xiao will help me." Su Qiaoyu also replied.
Aunt Celery nodded and turned her face: "Hey, those paper money haven't been hung up yet, hurry up, it will start at ten o'clock in the morning!" ”
Boy! Wu Xiao, the chairman, was also amazed by the scenery of Aunt Celery.
"These are talismans, the firecrackers are finished, remember to hurry up and paste them where the paper money is hung." As soon as Aunt Celery said, she took out a stack of yellow from her pocket, with some red Taoist talismans painted on it, and took seven or eight of them and handed them to Su Qiaoyu.
"Then I don't have enough of them." Su Qiaoyu took the Fu and said.
"Don't worry, in the future, start from the back row of the village, and the people who finish later can help." After Aunt Celery finished speaking, she looked at Wu Xiao and said, "Have you prepared your hut?" ”
"I don't." Wu Xiao said with a wink.
Aunt Celery also blinked: "No, if you want it there, it's not clean." ”
"Don't do this with me, I don't." Wu Xiao still said.
Aunt Celery also showed a helpless expression, today, she, as a master, also has a time of failure.
"Okay, Wu Xiao doesn't need it, this kind of thing is okay, just have a peace of mind." Aunt Celery said again.
"Then why are you so solemn, like this, it's easy to cause a fire or something." Wu Xiao said with a glare.
"That's called tradition, don't open your mouth." Aunt Celery was still loud, laughed "giggles" after speaking, turned around and left.
Su Qiaoyu was also sent out of the door, turned around and came in, also covering her mouth with her hands.
"I don't believe in this kind of thing, but I can't help it, everyone is like this." The beauty said to Wu Xiao, and then prepared to cook.
Wu Xiao's head was big: "Why are you cooking so early, you want to invite me to eat at noon?" ”
Su Qiaoyu smiled again and said: "Today is thank you, and after thanking you, it will become a great joy, and the whole village will drink brown sugar porridge." ”
It is becoming more and more evil, Wu Xiao nodded straightly, he thought that men and women would go on a blind date, and they would only drink brown sugar porridge when the two parties established their intention to agree. It seems that this brown sugar porridge still has a great effect in the mountain village.
"I invite you to drink brown sugar porridge, don't you want to drink it?" Su Qiaoyu said while washing rice.
"Okay, don't talk about that on a day like today." Wu Xiao said, walking outside. Today, he really got a look at every family, Aunt Celery is engaged in thanking the soil to exorcise evil spirits, and what he cares about is paying attention to safety.
No way! This guy hasn't been able to go to four or five houses, and suddenly the tweeter under the jurisdiction of the village committee sounded again. The music at the beginning is still the song "Good Day", followed by Aunt Celery's voice.
"Listen, everyone, the ceremony of thanking the soil, start now!" Aunt Celery's voice is really authoritative. This village aunt also understands that important things have to be said three times.
"Hey, Aunt Celery, what if there's a fire?" In the tweeter, it was replaced by Li Xianghong's voice.
Wu Xiao stood outside Song Chunhua's house, completely stunned and happy. This Li beauty has forgotten to turn off the microphone.
"Amitabha, why are you like Wu Xiao, can you say something auspicious." Aunt Celery's voice was also loud.
This is enough to make people laugh, Song Chunhua was the first to run out of the door, seeing that Wu Xiao was already happy, this beauty also laughed loudly. Then, quite a few people ran out, and the laughter was almost louder than the tweeters.
"It's called staying safe." Li Xianghong's voice rose again.
"Oh, don't make trouble, what did Wu Xiao say, you, Chunhua, Qiulan and Qiaoyu. And my daughter-in-law who has no heart, who will not listen. Aunt Celery said again.
This sudden episode is really funny, even some uncles who came from the winery also laughed so much that they spewed out half a cigarette in the corner of their mouths.
"What he said makes sense, your daughter-in-law, don't get involved with us." Li Xianghong is here again.
"Oh, you are close to Wu Xiao, my family Caixia is his assistant."
"Oops, the microphone isn't off." Li Xianghong shouted suddenly, and then the tweeter immediately went silent.
It's so funny, Song Chunhua laughed so much that a pair of Danfeng eyes were filled with tears.
Su Qiaoyu stood under the big banyan tree, and the matchmaker who married Aunt Caiyun's ex-husband was even more smiling and her feet were soft, and she simply sat down on the root of the tree.
Li Xianghong and Aunt Celery, who came out of the ancestral hall of the village committee in the past, saw everyone laughing, of course they knew what they were laughing at, and they also laughed along.
"Everyone, pay attention to this safety!" Wu Xiao finished laughing, shouted loudly, and walked to Su Qiaoyu's house again.
The ceremony of thanking the soil has just begun.
