ps: Thank you for the reward from the first otaku girl in Jiangnan and the king of the earth, as well as the monthly pass of the bosom dragon, the boring boy, the three thousand generations, and the beautiful Nancy!

After Zhou Furong and the others picked one, they began to dissect it on the spot, and then several people surrounded it to enjoy it, seeing that the Chu family rolled their eyes, expecting these people to help take it back, it is estimated that there is no hope. He could only call the monkey to go up, pick it and throw it down, and he caught it below.

"Monkey, throw one in this direction, and I'll take it." Seeing Chu Jiaqiang catching grapefruit below, all of them were caught, and none of them were caught, so many people also wanted to give it a try.

The monkey on the tree rolled his eyes, picked one very obediently, and then held it up for the people below to prepare. Chu Jiaqiang was stunned for a moment, and secretly said When did this guy become so well-behaved? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! There's definitely some demagogy in this.

Chu Jiaqiang thought like this, and the monkey suddenly made a feint and pretended to throw it down. Wait for the people below to subconsciously reach out to pick it up, and then it will really throw it down.

The people below reacted and hurriedly jumped out. It's no joke that thing hits someone, this monkey is so damning. Fortunately, the monkey did not throw at the person, but deliberately made it impossible for the person to catch it.

"I said, you too, monkey do you believe too? Isn't this self-inflicted? Zhou Furong also has a good understanding of monkeys' temperament.

With this lesson from the past, others did not dare to take the grapefruit thrown down by the monkey. Some people also fold their sleeves and climb up to the grapefruit tree to pick them themselves. Because the branches of these grapefruit trees are relatively tough, not as brittle as ebony wood, and easy to break, Chu Jiaqiang just reminded them to hold on to the branches.

"Alright! Don't pick it up, you won't be able to move it back for a while. After a while, Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly shouted to the guys above who were addicted to picking grapefruits. To know. They all had to walk a third of the way on foot, and they were tired of carrying so many grapefruits.

"It's okay! Pick it up! After a while, I will ask the people in the village to help you transport you to the river in a cart, it will not be difficult. The old patriarch smiled. They usually transport vegetables out, and it is impossible to pick them out completely by manpower.

"That's good, as long as it is transported to the river and crossed the river, it will be simple." Chen Wu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. After crossing the river, put it on the motorcycle. It will be shipped back soon.

It won't be long before those who go to pick pears will also come. Every two people carry most of the snakeskin bags of sand pears, it doesn't look easy!

As soon as they came up, they were enthusiastic to reveal the thrilling thing to Chu Jiaqiang and the others just now. When they first climbed the tree, they found a snake lying on it. It is estimated that it is a cold, I don't know what kind of snake it is. At that time, the snake had already been alarmed, and it was about to attack the person who climbed the tree, but Li Quan's goshawk instantly caught the snake away, and he didn't know if it had been eaten now.

"There are a lot of snakes that sleep in the trees, you say. We can't guess either. Chu Jiaqiang had not encountered this situation before, he was still a green bamboo snake at the beginning, and he was so frightened that he fell directly from the bamboo. He was already quite afraid of snakes, and he was still a vicious snake like a green bamboo snake. It feels creepy when I see it.

Of course, many snakes go up the tree, not only to sleep in the shade, but also to steal and eat the young birds and eggs on it.

Chu Jiaqiang saw a person behind him holding his wrist. His face was not very good-looking, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The excitement of those people cooled down. Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's question, he immediately spoke: "He is the one who saw the snake fall from the tree, Lao Cun, you help him look at his wrist." ”

Chu Jiaqiang saw that his wrists were bruised and swollen, and they should have been dislocated. You can't blame this person for being careless, if it were him, he might also fall from the tree.

He grabbed the man's wrist and turned it with a sharp turn, straightening the joint in an instant. The man screamed in pain, and found that the pain had disappeared a lot.

"Don't move, I'll help you massage it, it can reduce the swelling a little, go back and soak it in warm water for a while, and it will be completely fine tomorrow." However, try not to use this hand too hard today. Chu Jiaqiang reminded.

Having dealt with this matter, everyone started their return journey. The old patriarch of the village had already arranged for the cart to be carried onto the cart, and then two or three people pushed the cart out.

Today, the sun seems to give the moon a lot of face, and it has set early, and a bright moon has long hung in the sky. The second aunt and others gave everyone a meal first, and persuaded everyone not to eat moon cakes first.

After eating, when the sky fell slightly, the second aunt put out moon cakes, grapefruits, etc., and worshiped in the direction of the moon. At this time, she called all the unmarried men and women in the house to come and worship together.

"You people ask Elder Yue to help you find a marriage!" The second aunt said.

In the folk, there is an old saying: It is better to seek the Buddha than to ask for the old moon, and the marriage of the common people is a thread! No matter where two people are, even if they are thousands of miles apart, as long as they hold that red thread, they can meet and stay together.

After worshipping the moon god, everyone began to gather around the table under the tree, chatting, drinking tea and eating moon cakes, etc., so leisurely.

Of course, those young people must not be able to sit still, and some people run to go crazy with the children, put Kong Ming lanterns and so on.

In addition, on this night, there was another activity in Chujiazhai, although it was quite superstitious, but it also attracted many people to watch, that is, "Please Yuegu".

This custom can now be seen only in rural areas, and its origin has a traditional Chinese mythological charm, "Yuegu", which is the seven fairies in the sky. It is said that when the moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the joy and peace of the world will make the seven fairies envious and go down to earth one after another, solve problems for people, predict good and bad fortunes, and taste all kinds of delicacies in the world.

When "please Yuegu", first of all, you must set up an altar, put flower shoes, red cloth, red eggs, jewelry and other items on the stage, and place a basin of water in front of the stage. It is interesting to see a mirror in the water, and the mirror is facing the moon. Then, everyone gathered in a large field, and the elderly and famous people in the family took a "heavenly lock", that is, the old copper lock in the past, and recited words in their mouths, and opened the empty space with "heavenly locks", hoping to open the gate of heaven and welcome the fairy, that is, "Yuegu" to go down to the mortal world.

At the same time, a spoonpan should be placed on the altar, and a chopstick should be inserted, and a key should be hung up, which should be held by two people. The horn basket should be covered with a new flower cloth, and the person holding the horn basket should be a woman.

A group of young men and women knelt in a circle, reciting the mantra together clearly, respectfully inviting Aunt Yue to go down to earth, the mantra was: "Sister Yue, Aunt Yue, please talk about the will of heaven under Aunt Yue, there is a well at the door, please take care of the shadow of the water; There is a pond at the door, please play with the next aunt; Flower shirts, there are you to wear; Silver hairpin, you wear ......"

The key hanging on the chopsticks in the corner basket, because of the swing of manpower, will make a crisp sound of "tuk tuk", which marks that the simple and sincere people have ushered in the sacred, beautiful and kind "Yuegu" in the crisp sound.

"Please Yuegu" has its ancient cultural origins, although to a certain extent with superstition, but it carries people's good wishes and unremitting pursuit of a happy life.
