"Bang ......"

At this time, there were several gunshots, and the wild boar, which was surrounded by everyone, did not have any suspense, and fell directly to the ground, gurgling and bleeding from his mouth and nose, and whimpering for his life.

A villager was not at ease, and another shot passed, and the sand bullet hit the wild boar's head, but it was motionless and did not react at all, which was enough to prove that the wild boar was really dead and could not die anymore.

At that moment, several villagers happily surrounded it, drew a rope to tie the wild boar, and then cut two small trees into sticks next to it, and tied them to the rope as a flat pole, so that the wild boar could be easily lifted.

Speaking of which, the wild boar is too big, at least three or four hundred pounds. Several villagers carried it, and they also felt that it was difficult.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan and the others also hurriedly went up to help. But after carrying the wild boar for a while, Fang Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Wait, what are we here for?" ”

"Uh......" Sanger and the others reacted at this time, as if they had forgotten their business. This time, they went up the mountain, not to hunt wild boars, but to find the source of the stream.

But I only looked for half a day in the morning, and in the afternoon I went to chase wild boars, worthy of the name of giving up halfway.

"Ahem...... Ning Meng looked left and right: "Where is this?" I chased after it just now, and it seems that I ran a long way. And I can't find my way back when I go around and around. ”

Of course, the fact that everyone could not find their way back and lost their way in the intricate mountains does not mean that a few villagers will get lost. After all, people have lived here since childhood, and the vast mountains are estimated to be similar to the backyard of their houses, and they are very familiar.

"Just follow us." An uncle smiled and said, "Put the work things first." It's never too late to continue tomorrow. Now that I have a big harvest, of course, I will carry it back to the village for a meal......"

When Fang Yuan and the others heard the sound, they looked at the time again, and it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that it would take you an hour or two to return to the village here. If you don't go back, then you really have to spend the night in the deep mountains and old forests.

It's not a good choice. Moreover, at night, all kinds of poisonous snakes, insects, ants, mosquitoes, etc. in the mountains will emerge, which undoubtedly increases a lot of danger.

Come to think of it. Sanger also made a decision: "Let's go back first." I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

That's a good thing, and others are sure to have no opinion. At that moment, everyone comfortably helped the villagers carry the wild boar, and then slowly turned around along a ravine. Anyway, with the guidance of the villagers, everyone is not worried about not being able to go back. So it was very easy along the way. But walking and walking. Several villagers suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Fang Yuan and the others were naturally a little strange.

This time. An uncle laughed and said, "You wait for us for a few minutes, and we'll carry the wild boar over there to pay respects." ”

"What?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "What are you worshipping?" ”

"Worship the Mountain ......"

In between words, several villagers carried wild boars to divert the route. And take the path forward. After a few minutes of walking, a round hill appeared in front of me. Fang Yuan and the others naturally followed behind a few villagers and came here briskly. But after seeing the hills, they were stunned.

For at the bottom of the hill there was also an altar. It was the same building as the village altar, with a square circle and a stone base. However, compared to the altar in the village, this altar has obviously been abandoned for a long time. Not only was the altar covered with mottled moss, but even in some of the crevices of the stones, delicate weeds and small flowers grew.

At this time, several villagers put the wild boar on the altar, and then worshipped seemingly casually and solemnly.

Seeing this, the others naturally felt a little surprised, and they didn't expect that there was such an altar in the mountains outside the village.

“…… Brother Fang, what is this? Ning Meng couldn't help but speak: "Is it some kind of worship?" ”

"Uh......" Fang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Maybe, it may be the worship of the mountain gods." As you know, in some villages with closed traffic, it is normal for some traditional customs to exist due to the lack of popularization of science and culture. ”

"That's right." Ning Meng thought so: "If the children in the village want to study, they have to walk for at least more than an hour to go to another big village, which is very difficult and troublesome. ”

"yes." Fang Yuan also felt a little, they could be regarded as not knowing the blessings in the blessings. In the city, I am always dissatisfied with this, dissatisfied with that, and complain about messy food safety, environmental pollution and other problems all day long. But compared to the people in poor areas, being able to live in the city is already a dream paradise.

It seems that all human beings have such a common disease, and once life becomes superior, they begin to be hypocritical.

Fang Yuan's thoughts emanated, and he also began to carefully look at the altar in front of him. It was found that the altar was built at the foot of the mountain in a relatively flat area, and there were rows of cypress trees on the left and right.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's heart moved slightly, and then he looked around at the situation. After glancing at it, he suddenly lost his mind......

At the same time, Ning Meng seemed to have made some discovery, and hurriedly reminded: "Oh, did you see it, there is also a stream nearby. ”

The others took advantage of the situation and naturally saw the stream that Ning Meng said, just in front of the hill, in the col dozens of meters away, a small stream flowed around and meandered.

"You say, is that creek another creek, or is it the upper stream of the creek we're exploring?" Ning Meng said curiously: "If it's upstream, then let's come here directly tomorrow, and then start tracing the source from here, there's no need to walk along the bush and jungle again." ”

"You can ask a few uncles later." Sanger said softly, "If so, so be it." ”

"Okay......" Ning Meng nodded hurriedly.

After a while, several villagers finished their worship and walked back with the wild boar on their faces. After that, they didn't delay any longer, and led everyone back to the village.

On the way, Ning Meng inquired a few words, then turned around and said with a wry smile: "A few uncles said that the stream does not flow to the village, not the upstream of the village stream. ”

Hearing this, Sanger's brows suddenly furrowed, and he turned around and said, "Brother Fang, I found another stream, what do you think?" ”

“…… That's a good thing. Fang Yuan came back to his senses in a trance and said with a smile: "I'm still worried, if I don't find anything in the process of exploring the village stream, what should I do?" Well, now that a new source of water has been discovered, there's another option, isn't that good? ”

"Of course, this also means an increase in workload, so be prepared to continue trekking."

Fang Yuan sighed and said: "Kanyu Feng Shui is often prone to such a situation, that is, because the landscape conditions are relatively complex, so it is necessary to slowly sort out the context, which takes time ......."

The others also nodded understandingly, after all, they knew it today. A full day of retrograde exploration along the stream, but only a little progress. The only harvest is probably this big wild boar.

In any case, the first day of Feng Shui ended like this.

Soon after, the group returned to the village. A few villagers shouted triumphantly, which immediately attracted the attention of other villagers. After seeing the big wild boar, the whole village came alive, and men, women, and children gathered around.

Speaking of which, the village is not very large, only twenty or thirty households, about a hundred people. As soon as there was any movement, it was natural to gather around quickly. The most important thing is that the neighborhood relationship in the countryside can be called like a family.

Seeing a few villagers carrying a big wild boar back, there was no need for them to greet them, so naturally someone moved the cauldron out, built a simple stone stove, and collected firewood to boil water.

Three or four hundred catties of wild boars can have a wild boar feast. And the people in the village did exactly that. Everyone worked hard and worked together to quickly cramp the skin of the big wild boar, clean up the sand bombs, and then divide the meat into pieces with bones, and then either steamed, boiled, stir-fried, fried, or grilled......

In a small effort, the wild boar turned into a delicacy.

Until nightfall, next to the altar in the village, a strong bonfire was lit by the villagers. The crimson flame rises and signifies the beginning of the jubilant moment.

Fang Yuan and the others were naturally invited to come here to participate in the lively banquet. Wine and food, as well as singing and dancing performances, can be described as laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere is warm.

The banquet was the most lively, but when everyone drank high, more than a dozen young men stood up, stripped off their upper clothes, exposed broad shoulders, and strong arms, and a piece of abdominal muscles loomed......

The man of the mountain, with a bronze complexion, and the muscles of his whole body are like stone carvings, with sharp edges and corners. Under the light of the fire, they walked up to the altar amid the cheers and whistles of the villagers beside them.

Next to the altar, it seemed that someone had prepared something, and these people picked it up in turn and hung it on their faces. When they stood in formation and turned back again, hideous faces appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

“…… Masks! ”

At first glance, Fang Yuan's eyes were a little more serious, and he watched intently.

At this moment, a leather drum sounded, and the villagers on the stage also heard the drums, swinging their bodies exaggeratedly, their arms and feet rose and fell, and the masks on their faces also swayed.

There is no doubt that this is a kind of nu dance.

Fang Yuan doesn't know much about the Nu culture, but he can also see that this Nu opera seems to be a little special. As for what is special, he has limited knowledge and can't say.

However, Fang Yuan was also very smart, at the beginning of the play, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the video recording function, and recorded it silently.

"Brother Fang, what are you doing?" Ning Meng leaned over, somewhat curious.

"This kind of custom is rarely seen in ordinary times." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "So I recorded it and brought it back to my friends to see, envying him to death." ”

"yes, I didn't think of that." Ning Meng patted his head, and then took out his mobile phone to record it: "Take it back and let my sister take a look, let her have a good ......" (to be continued.) )
