The lunch was very rich, many of which were my favorite dishes, and coupled with my brother's craftsmanship, it was the most delicious meal I have had in the past few months. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After lunch, we all put down what we were doing, and each of us carried a basket of sacrificial offerings to a valley led by my senior brother.

Seeing that the senior brother who was walking in front stopped, I looked at this valley, and there was nothing strange about it, so I asked, "Senior brother, is this here?" ”

"Yes!" The senior brother nodded, then took a few steps forward, squatted down and gently brushed away the leaves and dirt in front of him, revealing a tombstone about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide. There was no text on it, only a picture of an animal shaped like a wolf, prostrate with its eyes closed, and a dagger in its mouth, as if it was guarding something.

This animal should be a wolf warrior! Thinking that I had come to my brother's side, he had already begun to take out the sacrificial offerings in the basket and arrange them neatly.

"Is it right here? We don't go in? "I was a little puzzled, I thought I could see the ancestral tomb of our Zhan family, where the Zhan family for more than 300 years has been buried, it must be spectacular.

"We don't go in, the ancient tomb can only be opened when the descendants of the Zhan family are buried. And none of our people have the ability to open this tomb. The senior brother replied as he took the basket from my hand and continued to fiddle with it.

"Can't even you open it?" I'm a little disappointed, if I find my father and mother in the future, will there be no way to bury them in the ancestral tomb!

"Yes!" The senior brother replied, "However, when your seal is broken, you will have this ability to open!" ”

When I heard this, I was relieved. Turning his head to look at Bai Feng, he was squatting down holding a branch and didn't know what he was shaving, while Long Yang didn't know where he was going, and he didn't see anyone else after looking around.

It didn't take long for Bai Feng to throw away the branch in his hand and come over: "There are traces of digging here, and there is more than one!" ”

I looked at him with some surprise. Tapped? Is someone going to steal my family's ancestral tomb?

The senior brother was stunned for a moment, and then continued to fiddle with the sacrifices: "It seems that their purpose is not simple, even the family tomb wants to do it!" But no matter how strong they are, they won't be able to enter even if they dig up the tomb gate. And the killers who have entered here have all been killed by us, so no one should reveal it. ”

After listening to my brother's words, I felt a lot more relieved. Thinking about everything that happened before, I have been living under the protection of Master and Senior Brother all these years, and I have never done anything by myself, from now on, it is time for me to learn to be independent and protect myself.

The ritual of the sacrifice was very simple, after the senior brother had set up all the sacrificial items, he lit a few incense sticks for me to worship, and then said something about my recent situation and the Jiuli realm to the tombstone.

I didn't grow up with a science education, so I don't reject what ordinary people think is superstitious. I also believe that people can exist in another way after death. When my brother speaks to them like this, I believe they can hear me, and will bless me, the descendant, with less danger in the future.

When everything was done, we went home and continued to cook the food that we were going to eat for the New Year, which we called New Year's goods. Of course, a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also prepared, and the family has not been so lively for a long time.

Because I had to keep the New Year, and there was no computer or TV at home, I took Bai Feng and Long Yang to the small shop in the village. There are televisions and some entertainment facilities, such as mahjong, playing cards, chess, etc., which is the favorite place for the villagers of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The village is usually full of old people or children, and it is not so lively, but during the Spring Festival, those who work outside have returned, so this time is the most lively and popular time in the village.

Along the way, the children chased after each other, which reminded me of my childhood.

I remember that I was the same at that time, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I ran out by myself and chased the whole village with the friends in the village, and had a lot of fun, until it was almost 12 o'clock when the senior brother came out to find me and followed him home.

Now that I'm older, I don't have the interest to play anymore. When I was a child, the children we played with either went out to work or went to school outside, and it was rare to see each other.

When I took them to the shop, it was already full of people, many of whom were sitting in front of the TV watching the gala, and there was a skit show, and the crowd burst into laughter from time to time.

When everyone saw me coming, they all greeted me, and some of them asked me about my current situation with concern.

Long Yang on the side asked suspiciously beside me: "Sister Xiaoxiao, they all seem to know you!" Hello famous! ”

Although I was a little helpless about this kid's thinking, I could only patiently explain: "I grew up in the village since I was a child, and many people here have watched me grow up, and almost all of them have come to me for treatment, of course they know me." ”

"Oh!" He answered, and began to look around, looking around at the people who were entertaining.

I'm too bored to be idle, so I want to pull the two of them to play white mahjong. White mahjong means mahjong that does not gamble money. As a result, Bai Feng shook his head and said that he was not interested, only Long Yang looked at me with interest and asked me to teach him.

After I went to church in Longyang, I found two other childhood playmates and started playing mahjong. Bai Feng had been sitting next to me watching us play, and from time to time he glanced at Long Yang's cards. Later, many villagers came to watch us play cards, and our table was very lively for a while.

The sky was pitch black, and only a few sparsely dim street lamps lit the dirt road ahead. It was almost 12 o'clock, and the villagers in the small shop began to disperse, ready to go home and eat dumplings. The three of us also left the village store with the tide and started to walk home.

"Long Yang, did you say you cheated and looked at everyone's cards?" I asked Long Yang with some dissatisfaction. This guy must have peeked at everyone's cards with a spell, otherwise how could he be a novice to win so many rounds.

"Wronged! Sister Xiaoxiao, I really didn't cheat, if I really cheated, you guys wouldn't even be able to win a game! Long Yang immediately shouted injustice.

No matter how much he shouts injustice, I still won't believe it, after so many days of getting along, I think I still know this kid better, on the surface it looks innocent, but in fact, sometimes it's still very treacherous, naïve pretend.

"I don't believe it, forget it, I won't ask, and if you ask again, you will still say that you didn't cheat. I'd better ask Brother Bai Feng, he must know if you cheated or not. After saying that, I looked at Bai Feng.

The corner of his mouth chuckled: "When I watched it, I felt some fluctuations in spiritual power. ”

"Big Black Brother!" Long Yang looked at him in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that he would betray himself.

I was in a good mood and said, "Look! also said that he didn't cheat, Brother Bai Feng said that he felt that your spiritual power fluctuated! ”

"Humph......"

“……”

With that, we went home.

Senior brother was busy cooking dumplings in the kitchen, and I saw that he had concocted so many medicines before, so I went over to help, took out the boiled dumplings and brought them to the table, and then called Bai Feng and Long Yang.

Before the dumplings were finished, the sound of fireworks rang out over the village. I excitedly ran to the open space outside the door with my bowl in my hand, staring at the fireworks that bloomed in the sky.

The village is relatively poor, and the transportation is not very convenient, and it is quite troublesome to buy fireworks and transport them back, so there are very few people in the village who set off fireworks in the Chinese New Year's Eve. But it is because of this lack that the preciousness of these fireworks is reflected, they flash away and only exist for a moment, but the beautiful bloom remains in the memory of many villagers.

My brother and Master never set off fireworks, they only buy some firecrackers every year and light them on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this year is no exception, which is a must for every family.

After the fireworks were over, I reluctantly turned around with the unfinished dumplings and prepared to go back to the kitchen. When I turned around, I found Bai Feng standing behind me, and he was still looking at the sky in the distance where the fireworks had dissipated, and the dim light blurred his expression a little, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

When he saw me turn around, he smiled at me and turned back to the kitchen. I looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and at that time my mind was like this: "He shouldn't have finished eating dumplings yet, so hurry back to eat dumplings!" Maybe they also eat dumplings there for the New Year! ”
