Chapter Seventy-Eight: Crushing
No wonder so many people pass by outside the door, but they don't even look inside, it turns out that this inn and us in the inn don't exist at all in their eyes!
"Great! Then I'll eat first! "Hehe, Yan'er is really heartless, peace of mind is a moment, no matter what will happen to him later, it is safe now, just enjoy it like this.
After a while, the bottom of the bowl was seen, and everyone wiped their mouths and began to sit in a daze.
"Brother Lei...... We ......" Yan'er couldn't hold her breath: "Are we going to hide here like this for the rest of our lives?" ”
At this time, there are more and more people outside the house, and there are many sounds of gongs and drums, which are very lively, and it seems that something is being held.
"Why are you hiding here, you can go out to play, it's lively outside today, why don't you go and see the excitement?" The proprietress stood up and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, the guy before didn't know where to go, and it seemed that the proprietress was the only one here besides us.
"Watching the excitement? How can you have such a mind! Yan'er was lying on Zhuo Zai, with a sad face, and I was even more, holding my chin in my hand, staring at the noisy scene outside the door, but I was so depressed that I panicked, and every second that passed, Wan Boyi was in danger for one more second.
"Aren't you looking for someone? It's best to take advantage of the excitement, otherwise the attention of the whole village will be on you."
Oh, yes! The hostess was right! Isn't it possible to hide what they seem to be busy with? It's better to just go outside than to stay here.
"Are they doing a happy event?" Lei Xing, who had been silent, finally asked, and it seemed that Lei Xing already had a plan of action in his heart.
"Look at this festive scene like a happy event, but on the contrary, they are doing a funeral."
"Huh? Funeral? Such a big scene? Yan'er pointed to the door and asked in surprise, "And they don't look like they have lost their relatives."
"In our village, there are generally no dead people, and those who die are designated, so once someone dies, the whole village will come to participate in the ceremony together, probably hoping that the soul of the deceased can be exceeded, or hoping that such a disaster will not happen to him, although he knows that it is impossible to change his fate", the proprietress leaned against the door and sighed: "Everyone is involuntarily, unwilling, but unable to change."
"So what are they doing? It looks very grand", Yan'er stood next to the proprietress and kept looking outside.
"Burn the house", the proprietress said lightly: "Because the dead are arranged by others, and the people here live under the arrangement of others all their lives, so after death, the whole village will arrange a house for the deceased, presided over by a special Taoist priest, hoping that they can live under their own roof after death and can dominate their own souls."
"Let's go, let's take a look!" I couldn't wait to say, "Maybe I'll find some clues."
"Hey!" The proprietress stopped us and turned around to take out some clothes from inside: "You guys change into the clothes here, otherwise it will be too conspicuous!" ”
It's all gray, a little shabby, very old, not so much a long-closed village that has remained in its original state, but rather that we have passed through a time tunnel to a few hundred years ago.
It's just that I didn't expect that the boss, who looks sinister, cunning and weird, is actually kind in her heart. The three of us changed our clothes, and when we arrived solemnly with her, we walked out of the inn gate.
The people on the street are holding something in their hands, some are discussing something in pairs, some are doing it in front of their homes, shaking banana fans, studying something seriously, there are paper, brushes, paints everywhere, and the whole village seems to be doing something with their hearts.
Luckily, everyone was busy, and we changed into local clothes, so the walk down didn't attract anyone's attention. And we've been spinning around like headless flies, when will we find Wan Boyi!
"Ruolan, look, the things they make are so exquisite!" The goose whispered to me next to me, and carefully pointed to the table sitting next to me.
Because I was afraid of being recognized by others, I didn't stop at all just now, and I was in a hurry to see everything, but when Yan'er said this, I couldn't help but be curious, stopped in front of the people at the table, and looked at their hands......
They're making models! Just like the kind of model that developers will display when they sell houses, but their table is a scene in a bedroom, which is used by a large family at a glance, mahogany furniture, cabinets, chairs, beds, etc., very detailed, all the way to the handle on the cabinet, are very realistic, a bed is about the size of a palm, but the carvings on the bed are lifelike, this is not a model at all, but the real thing is reduced! And what they use is definitely not the board used in the commercial housing model, but the real material, which is made of mahogany, but everything is shrunk!
"Let's go, don't look!" Lei Xing pretended to be casual and walked up to us, lowering his voice to remind us.
Only then did we react, and we were all stunned! These works of art are so charming, I didn't expect such craftsmanship to exist in this village!
"Oh", Yan'er replied in a whisper, and turned to leave.
It may be that it is not used to wearing such clothes for the first time, the sleeves are very long, the "skirt" is also long, and the slightest turn can "sweep" the surrounding objects. I was about to turn away when my sleeve touched a small model of a chair next to the table
"I'm sorry!" I immediately crouched down and instinctively picked it up, and apologized repeatedly.
Because this thing has always been thought of as made of wood in my brain, there is a force when I pick it up, but when I touch it, it ...... Flattened!
Like, I thought that the bottle of water was full, but when I took it, it was just an empty plastic bottle, so the information given by the brain is the weight of the full water, and there will be a strength when I hold it with my hand, but what I get is a light and empty bottle, which often results in the bottle being picked up instantly and lifted very high.
So, I thought it was a piece of wood, but it turned out to be ...... The result is...... Paper! I pinched it and it was completely flattened!
Oh, my God! It's unimaginable! How this deceives our eyes! That kind of texture can also be expressed on paper?
But when I was surprised, I immediately realized that danger was coming, and I didn't dare to look the eyes of the person on the other side! At the beginning, when I squatted down to pick it up, I realized that the person was also squatting down to pick it up at the same time, but I was just one step ahead!
It must have been their brainchild, but at this moment I crushed it! (To be continued.) )
