Soon after Yi Mu returned to the hut, the second uncle rushed over, heard the news of the girl's departure, and reprimanded Yi Mu well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info To put it mildly, after Yi Mu finally sent the second uncle, the village chief rushed over again.

The village chief held two servings of meat wrapped in an unknown soft leaf, which was the last dish left over from the noon village feast, the pork fang. I heard that Yi Mu and the girl left the table halfway, and specially gave the girl Ai Su a small gift, but when I heard that the girl had left, the village chief glared at Yi Mu for a while, and finally threw the two meats to him, so he left to deal with the end of the follow-up of the Kaiyu Festival and rearrange the work.

Shortly after the village chief left, there was another knock on the door. Yi Mu was about to vomit blood in his heart, and said secretly: "Can't you come together?" Listlessly opened the door, and it was Aunt Xu, greeting Yi Mu to go to her house for dinner and bathing, and preparing for the next round of rain sacrifice ceremony. Smelling the clothes that were about to stink on himself, Yi Mu happily prepared to go.

By the time Yi Mu finished washing, the sky had become a little darker. Back in his hut, Yi Mu found the fire starter he had bought from the town, lit the poured oil table, and soon there was a faint light in the room, and the light slowly became brighter, similar to what Yi Mu saw in the town, white and chrysanthemum light. Yi Mu knew that if it was an all-white light, it would be a high-quality mutton fat oil lamp.

Just as Yi Mu took out the pen and paper and wanted to record some things of the day, suddenly a white light shone down from the window above the bed, which seemed to be very bright and transparent, and seemed to be mixed with a trace of coolness, or coldness. Yi Mu looked up from the window, and a huge moon appeared in Yi Mu's eyes.

Yi Mu walked out of the hut and found that the villagers had also walked out of the house and gathered towards the open space to the west of the village. At this time, the sunset on the horizon had just ended.

The moonlight from the bright moon was so intense that it illuminated almost everywhere, and it couldn't wait to cover out the afterglow of the setting sun, dyeing the whole world the color of the moon.

With the help of this round of moonlight, Yi Mu and his group of villagers came to the clearing, where the original altar and simple kitchen had been demolished, except for some less obvious traces left behind. In the center of the clearing, where the altar had been placed, a pile of wood had been aligned. There were also several people with torches nearby, seemingly making final preparations.

But Yi Mu didn't pay much attention to these, but kept staring at the bright moon slowly rising in the sky and the red moon that appeared below the bright moon, and the double moon was in the sky!

The appearance of the red moon added a pale pink brilliance to the originally cold white moonlight, and the moon that emitted a red glow was particularly mysterious, enchanting, and attracting attention.

Soon after the red moon appeared, the bonfire in the clearing was lit, and the raging fire radiated a fiery temperature, and the sparks burst out and made a muffled sound. Villagers spontaneously set up bonfires, and from time to time some special offerings are thrown into the fire, which is the last ritual of the rain festival, praying for the harmony of the wind and rain in the following warm season.

When it comes to the warm season, we have to mention the timekeeping method of this world, where Yimu is located, the year is divided into October, which are the cold season, the warm season, the hot season, and the warm season. The warm and hot seasons are the main periods of crop growth. The cold, warm and hot seasons account for March, May and February respectively. And the month is forty days long, and the day is divided into ten days, there are the upper day, the next day, and the night is divided, and the day is divided into four yellow hours, in short, from the time of the minute and Yi Mu originally knew very different, of course, these are also what he found out later.

"Look at that, two moons." A childish voice sounded, Yi Mu subconsciously looked up at the sky, two rounds of crescent moons slowly rose from the sky, like a pair of twins of the same size, compared with the previous two rounds of moons, it seemed smaller, and the light was not so strong, but it was also two more rounds of crescent moons! There are now four moons hanging in the sky!

"How many moons are there?" Yi Mu muttered to himself.

――――"Seven rounds of the month, five years of reincarnation." On the mountain stream driveway, in the carriage, a white-haired old man in a warm brocade robe said to the girl Aisu beside him.

"Moon Ring?" Asur said.

The old man nodded.

"And which moon is controlling the phases of the moon this time?" Asur asked.

"It's the dumb moon." The old man replied.

"Dumb Moon." Ai Su looked at the fifth purple moon wheel that was slowly rising in the sky and muttered to herself, "The next round is the purple moon, right?" That ・・・・・・"

"In the thousand-year period, the purple moon is in the sky, a great omen." The old man knew what Ai Su meant, and said, "But it is unpredictable, everything is supported by your uncles, and it is good to ask you to learn." ”

Asur nodded and didn't say anything more, but it was hard to hide the worried look in her eyes.

In the open space to the west of the village, Yi Mu watched the fifth round of purple moon appear, "Purple moon? He suddenly felt that the moon was about to appear endlessly, so he patted a teenager who was about the same height as him and asked, "Hey, do you know how many moons there are?" ”

"I don't call for hey." The man's voice was crisp.

"My name is Yi Mu, what's your name?" Yi Mu hurriedly said.

"You're that fool Yimu." The man turned his head, and the moonlight shone on his face, his skin was dark, but delicate, with a pair of bright eyes, and his facial features were more upright. But it's clearly a girl.

"You're a fool, I'm not a fool." Yi Mu didn't pay attention to this, and immediately retorted.

"No fool will admit that he is a fool. Aren't you a fool? The man said, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

Yi Mu was a little annoyed, he was called a fool for no reason, and anyone would be angry. But after all, Yi Mu didn't waste words with him anymore, and said: "My name is Yi Mu, but I'm not a fool." Good bye! With that, he left the place.

The girl pouted and muttered, "That's what everybody calls it." Did I say something wrong? ”

At this time, the rain ritual has been completed, and many people have begun to disperse. Yi Mu returned to the hut and did not go in immediately, but sat at the door and stared at the moon that had appeared in the sky. He had already learned from the mouths of the other elders that there would be seven moons tonight. Each moon has its own name, which is the bright moon, the red moon, the rising moon, the dumb moon, the purple moon, the sea moon, and the gray moon. This is a folk name, but the old people said that each moon has its own name story, and most of the stories have been passed down, and most of the original stories have been lost or the traces have been eliminated. So, let's just call it that.

According to the fact that the Sea Moon appears at midnight and the Gray Moon appears at near dawn the next day, when the first four months of April disappear and fall, the sky will only appear in the sky at most in June, not July. Quite a few people will stay up late to watch the possible June, of course, mostly some children.

Yi Mu stared blankly at the largest and brightest moon hanging in the center of the canopy, he remembered his hometown, remembered his family, but soon suppressed this thought. These thoughts have long been suppressed.

When he looked at the bright moon again, Yi Mu thought of Aisu again, and secretly said in his heart: "Aisu, will you also be watching this bright moon?" Well, have a nice trip. ”
