Chapter 1: Dancing God
The middle of July is the hottest time of the year, the adults have not yet returned from the field, the half-grown children are in school, the doors and windows of every house are wide open, the chimney is emitting white smoke, the thick smell of rice wafts out of the doors and windows, it is the woman who returned home in advance is preparing dinner, there are almost no people on the road in the village at this time, even the dog is lazily lying at the gate. From time to time, there were a few clear cries of gnats in the weeds on the side of the road.
The doors and windows of the second house in the east of the village on a hot day were closed tightly, and the chimney was not smoking, and everything seemed incompatible with the whole village. Outside the window, four sneaky children were tiptoeing into the room.
Under the window, the four children were crowded there, all looking like they were five or six years old, the window was not big, and the skinny child was squeezed out: "Fat du, get up, block me." ”
The fat boy didn't move, he was the tallest of the four children, and no one dared to mess with him "There's no place here, don't squeeze it, you squeeze me again and try it." ”
The skinny child pouted, tears beginning to roll in his eyes, but he bit his lip to keep them from falling.
"Lock this piece, don't squeeze him. Fat dun, you try to bully Xiaolock again, and I still beat you to sit on the ground wolf howl. "This family has two sunny windows, but there is a pile of bricks under the windows on this side, so the children are crowded there. A little girl by the other window struggled to hold a wooden pier under the window, beckoning to the skinny boy here.
The fat boy stuck his tongue out at the lock and glanced at the girl, still with a little fear in his eyes. Since the last time he grabbed the small lock and punched the girl in the eye, he also had a scared person, that time he didn't open his eyes for two days, the pain made him remember it vividly, children are like this, they have a long memory when they are beaten. The only child in the east of the village who can control the fat dun is Hu Youli.
The girl's long, thin and small skin leaking on the outside was black and red, and her body was dirty, with short hair and a pair of big black eyes embedded in her face, if it weren't for her skirt that couldn't tell what color it was, she really didn't know she was a girl.
She looks small, but the wooden pier in her arms is not small, and I don't know how she moved the wooden pier here, I don't know how much energy is stored in her small body, and her mother always says that she has a miracle. Boys in their teens don't have as much strength as he does.
"Come on." Seeing Hu Youli Xiaosuo happily ran to her side, the two of them are neighbors, he is one year younger than Hu Youli, he and Hu Youli have a child at home, Hu Youli's mother threw Hu Youli at work at his house, and the two of them have been playing together since they could climb.
At this time, the two of them stood together on the wooden pier and looked out the window.
The adults in the room all looked serious, and they didn't notice the five small heads outside the window.
The boy called Xiaosuo was not as tall as the girl next to him, and he had a hard time standing on tiptoe to see, "Reasonable, what are you talking about what they are doing, why is there no movement at all?" ”
The girl's tanned little face was raised, "I heard that Brother Changshan is evil, they are dancing gods, and now they are inviting God." ”
Xiao Suo looked at the girl with a look of admiration, "You are so smart, you know everything." ”
The expression on the girl's face became even more proud.
In addition to the Changshan family, there were two middle-aged and elderly women dressed in fancy clothes, one looked to be in her forties, and the other was in her sixties. They were bouncing around the room, muttering words in their mouths. I don't know what it's for, but the kids still watch it with gusto. In those days, there were no mobile phones, no one in the village had a TV, and there were too few things for children to have fun.
Suddenly, the woman in her sixties stood trembling because she was facing the house, and the children couldn't see her expression, otherwise they would have been terrified. I don't know what kind of god was invited this time, the woman rolled her eyes, her mouth wide open and tilted upwards in a strange arc.
Changshan's parents knelt on the ground in unison, offering drinks and things that had been prepared before, and the children could not see what they were.
After receiving the tribute, the great god approached Changshan on the kang in a particularly awkward posture, Changshan is a twelve- or thirteen-year-old half-old child, and his health has not been very good, and he suddenly fell into a coma two days ago, and the doctor in the village couldn't help it, and some people said that most of them were evil, so there was such a thing as inviting the great god.
After being in a coma for two days, Changshan's face was even more pale, and the great god put his hand on Changshan's head, and Changshan's body began to twitch, as if he was having convulsions, and the great god didn't look comfortable, and the green tendons on his neck were jumping one by one.
Rural people have a natural fear of ghosts and gods, and usually say that they are feudal superstitions, but when it comes to critical moments, they still choose to believe. Changshan's parents looked at the great god with eyes like dying people grasping at the last straw.
After a while, the great god retreated violently, and Changshan also stopped convulsing and opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of black blood, but the person opened his eyes, although he was still angry, but fortunately, he woke up.
"Wow, that's amazing." The scene in the house makes the children's eyes glow with stars, which is a real-life version of the mythical story.
Changshan woke up, but the people in the house were still honest, and even Changshan's parents didn't dare to take care of their son immediately. After the great god invited the god, he had to send the god, and they all said that it was easy to invite the god and difficult to send the god, and if the god couldn't send it away, it could make a dead person.
The woman in her forties began to dance again, muttering words in her mouth, and from time to time bowing to the woman in her sixties. But no one noticed that her movements and words seemed a little rusty.
The body of a woman in her sixties suddenly froze, and this is the great god who is about to leave her body. But that's when the unexpected happened. The girl who was watching outside the window with relish suddenly rolled her eyes and fell straight to the ground, her limbs twitching, and the white foam at the corners of her mouth flowed down little by little.
"Reasonable." Xiao Lock screamed, and then burst into tears, after all, he was still a five-year-old child, and he didn't know what to do when he saw his companion so frightened. The child in the other window also saw this scene, crying and running in a mess.
Hearing the sound outside the house, the people inside ran out except for Changshan's mother, who took care of Changshan. Especially the two people who danced the gods, as soon as they came out, the children cried even more, because they kept their backs to the window and the children couldn't see their faces, but this one was really scary. The woman in her forties was fine, but the woman in her sixties was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, eyes, ears and nose, and she was supported by the person next to her when she walked.
