Xie Rouhui was awakened by the sound of footsteps, and it was pitch black.

Is she still in the tunnels?

Haven't you been there for a day?

Xie Rouhui sat up with a scream and opened her eyes.

Footsteps outside shattered, and the curtain was opened.

"Miss?"

"Miss."

The girls asked anxiously.

The morning light in front of her was cloudy, it turned out to be a dream, Xie Rouhui stretched out her hand and pressed her heart to breathe urgently, and turned her head to see the girls.

"Get out!" She shouted, "You're walking and you're making me noise!" ”

The girls hurriedly retreated.

"Don't come to my bedside with shoes in the future." Xie Rouhui said again.

The girls hurriedly responded and exited the inner room in a panic.

"Why is the eldest lady's temper ......?" a girl whispered.

"Today is the first day of March." The other girl whispered.

March 3 is approaching, and today will be the last exercise.

In view of the failure of the eldest lady in the previous exercises, it is conceivable that she must be in a nervous mood, so her temper will become even more eccentric.

"Just wait until dawn." A girl suddenly said again, with a look of anticipation.

After dawn, the eldest lady is much better, although she is still silent, but she is very talkative, she will not suddenly splash the tea on you, she will drink it quietly in one gulp, she will not say that it is cold or hot, the cloak she has taken will not fall on your head, even if she accidentally strangles her neck, she will not give you a slap.

It's fine after dawn, it's fine after dawn.

It's about to dawn.

Xie Rouhui hugged her knees and looked out the window.

When it was dawn, she was going to stay in the dark, and then she wouldn't come out until it was dark, if she was lucky. It will be a little earlier, and you can see the sunset, but it has been a little late these days, and only the starlight can be seen after she comes out.

Darkness, darkness from beginning to end, will she never see the light like this?

She turned her head to look at the screen, where the calendar hung over. She got up and walked down. Reach out and tear it off.

The first day of March.

Two days to go, two days to go.

There was a slight noise in the study, and Xie Rouhui's figure stiffened as she stood in front of the screen. Although she was very unwilling, she did not hesitate, straightened her back and walked inward.

Things are already like this, it's not that she can't cry and she can't save zài. She's going to get through it now, get through it. She had already tasted this pain, and it was enough to taste it once, and what she had to do was to avoid tasting this pain forever.

She is Xie Rouhui, Xie Rouhui who no one can replace.

The bookshelves in the study are turned open. The girl stepped out.

She was also dressed only in profane clothes and had her hair scattered, if not for the mask on her face. Xie Rouhui will think that she is looking in the mirror.

As always, the two passed by. They didn't look at each other or speak, and they staggered by, as if a person had turned around.

The bookshelf was closed, Xie Roujia took off her mask and put it in the dark compartment of the bookshelf, and walked out with her feet raised.

"Someone, change clothes."

It's dawn!

The girls outside the house breathed a sigh of relief and poured in with hula.

The sky was bright.

Old lady Xie walked around the courtyard.

"You're not going to take a look?" He stopped and looked at Mrs. Xie who was sitting in the room, "Today is the last exercise, and it won't be ......."

At this point, he snorted twice.

"Success, success, must be successful."

If it doesn't work out now, then the third of March won't be able to pass.

"What's there to see." Mrs. Xie said, "If you dance well, you can dance well, if you don't jump well, it's useless for me to be in a hurry." ”

That being said, however, I always feel uneasy when I don't look at it.

There was a drum beating in my ears, which shook half the sky.

"It's begun, it's begun." Old lady Xie said excitedly, circling around the courtyard.

In the room, although Mrs. Xie was still sitting firmly, her hand holding the teacup was clenched tightly.

The sound of drums and trombones hovered over the Xie family, and soon shook half of Pengshui City.

Zhou Chengzhen held the wine glass in his hand and put it down on his legs.

"Who's going to marry a daughter-in-law?" He said, leaning against the window with his arms raised and looking at the street and whistling, "We'll see if the bride looks good later." ”

The bartender on the side smiled.

"Uncle, you're from out of town, don't you know." He said.

"Nonsense." Zhou Chengzhen glanced at him, "You locals speak with an accent like this?" ”

The bartender laughed.

"Uncle, this is not marrying a daughter-in-law, it's about to be the third of March, this is the movement of Xie Jiadan's female sacrifice drill." He said, his eyebrows fluttering, "Guest officer, you have come at the right time, on March 3, the priestess of Xie Jiadan is very good-looking, you see that the streets are full now, and the people in the land of Bashu have rushed over, just to see the abundance of the Xie family's Dannu." ”

"What's so nice, isn't it just a dance." Zhou Chengzhen sneered, raised his head and drank the wine.

"That's not an ordinary dance, it's a witch dance." The bartender hurriedly distinguished, "That's the witch dance danced by the descendants of Wu Qing Niangniang." ”

Zhou Chengzhen shook the wine glass in his hand.

"What kind of witch dance, isn't it all dance, what kind of witch is there now." He said.

The bartender was upset and put the flask on the table.

"Childe, your wine." He said, shook his hand and walked out.

Zhou Chengzhen sighed and pointed to the back of the bartender.

"This grandson is shaking my face!" He shouted.

"Young Master." The older guard next to him coughed lightly, "This is Peng Shui, the people are very in awe of the Xie family, His Royal Highness tells you to be careful when you speak." ”

Zhou Chengzhen snorted.

"Barbarians." He said, not thinking about the bartender any more, and turned to look out the window at the street.

The sound of drums was still faintly coming, and the people coming and going on the street seemed to become excited, looking at the direction of the Xie family, talking and laughing.

The drums stopped, and the girls on the stage held heron feathers to the sky and bowed slowly.

After a moment of silence, the audience cheered.

"Great! That's great! Xie Cunli shouted excitedly, "I said that Huihui will definitely be able to dance well." ”

He said and looked at Mrs. Xie on the side, but saw that Mrs. Xie's expression was a little strange, and she seemed to want to laugh but didn't seem to be able to laugh.

"Ayuan. You are also very powerful, if it weren't for you to invite witches, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so smooth. He said.

Please, it's a debt collector, please.

Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and nodded with a smile.

"It's all blessed by the ancestors." She said, standing up and looking at the girl standing on the stage receiving congratulations from everyone. "Alright. Everyone is busy with the sacrifice of the day after tomorrow, and the matter of the witch dance, I will consider it with them again to improve it. ”

Xie Cunli smiled from ear to ear.

"What else to consider. It's good enough. He said.

Mrs. Xie smiled, beckoned to the girl on the stage, and watched the girl walk down obediently.

The girls gathered in the school were still excited.

"We really didn't make a mistake?"

"Oh my God, I can't believe it. Did we really make the jump? ”

Everyone chattered and laughed, and the door opened. A girl walked in slowly, and when she saw her, everyone's jokes stopped.

"Megumi." Xie Yao stepped forward and shouted excitedly, "Great." We did it. ”

Xie Roujia nodded, and Mrs. Xie also walked in behind her, and the instructors also entered. I couldn't hide my excitement on my face.

"Tomorrow we will go to Yusan early to pray in front of the ancestors." Mrs. Xie spoke. Looking at an excited and energetic girl, she couldn't help but smile on her face, "You guys danced very well." ”

The girls cheered happily when they were complimented.

"However, there are some places that could be better."

A voice said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the girl who spoke.

Mrs. Xie frowned.

"No, it's good." She said.

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"I think it could be better." She said, looking at the girls again, "Don't you wish you could jump out better?" ”

These days, everyone has become accustomed to her command.

"Yes." A girl blurted out.

As she spoke, more girls nodded.

"So what are you going to do?" Everyone asked.

The smile on Mrs. Xie's face was a little stiff.

"Megumi, you come with me." She said, turning around and walking to the side of the cubicle, Xie Roujia following her.

As soon as she walked into the cubicle, Mrs. Xie grabbed her arm.

"You'd better stop in moderation and don't get an inch." She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Do what you have to do." ”

Xie Roujia looked at her.

"I'm just doing what I have to do." She said.

Mrs. Xie looked at her.

"Remember, you're not jumping for me, don't try to embarrass me." She said, "You're for yourself." ”

Xie Roujia nodded.

"yes, I remember it very well." "For my own sake, I have to jump to the best I can." ”

Mrs. Xie looked at her for a moment and let go of her hand.

Xie Roujia didn't look at her again, turned around and walked out.

"Come on, stand still." She looked at the girls in the hall, whether they were playing drums or dancing, "Stand in your position." ”

The girls hurriedly stood in their places, while the reserve retreated into the corner and looked at them with some envy.

Xie Roujia didn't speak in the middle of the room, and walked around these girls one after another.

"I know what the shortcomings are, it's the lack of rhythmic intensity." She stopped suddenly, clapped her hands, and said, "One more drummer." ”

The girls who were playing the drums over there suddenly lit up and looked at her in disbelief.

Xie Roujia walked past them, and her eyes fell on the girls who were candidates for the witch dance.

"Xie Rouqing." She said.

Xie Rouqing was stunned.

"Me?" She asked.

Do?

"You play the drums." Xie Roujia said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

Xie Rouqing? But she's always danced! How can you play the drums?

Xie Rouqing also looked at her, her expression changing.

Was it deliberately to make a fool of her?

Xie Yao thought in her heart, except for the first time she didn't wait for Xie Rouhui, she waited for the next few days, and then she also saw Xie Rouqing who secretly practiced drums.

So this is Xie Rouhui deliberately punishing her?

However, if she is replaced, something happens at the sacrifice, and it is still Huihui who is ashamed.

Xie Yao's expression also became complicated.

Megumi can't be so weird that she will embarrass others at the expense of making a fool of herself, right?

"What? Don't you dare? Xie Roujia looked at Xie Rouqing and asked.

Xie Yao gritted his teeth.

"That's right, third sister, don't be modest, I know you've been secretly practicing drums in private." She grinned and said, "This is the opportunity that Megumi specially gave you. ”

Xie Rouqing put away her stunned and stepped forward.

"I dare." She said.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, a little confused by the sudden change.

Mrs. Xie, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face, but she didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the instructors looked at each other.

"But, Miss, the number is wrong." One stood up and said.

Now there are eight shrine maidens dancing with them, six shrine maidens playing drums, and one shrine maiden playing drums, and the number of people is not in accordance with the rules.

Xie Roujia smiled.

"That's easy." "Just get rid of the dancing one," she said. ”

Remove!

The girls present were stunned, and compared to the excitement of the girls playing the drums, they became nervous.

Now that it's been removed, that's really ......

"Megumi is right, it's appropriate to remove one." Xie Yao said, and before the words fell, he saw the girl's finger pointing at him.

"You, don't jump." Xie Roujia said.

What the?

Did she hear it wrong?

Xie Yao froze in place, looking at Xie Rouhui in disbelief.

"Megumi!" She shouted.

What, how could it be her?! That's impossible! That's impossible!

Ignoring the stunned Xie Yao, Xie Roujia clapped her hands.

"Alright, now with this number, let's do it all over again." She said.

Her expression was calm and irresistible, and the girls subconsciously followed her words.

Xie Yao was pushed aside, the new drum was put up, Xie Rouqing reached out and took the drumstick handed over, took a deep breath and stood in front of the drum, the corner of her eyes looked at the field, the girl stretched her arms and raised her head high, perceiving her gaze, and also looked over.

Do you dare?

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if to say.

Xie Rouqing retracted her gaze, sank her waist and shoulders, and raised her drumstick.

Come on!

"Let's go!"
