The forest was quiet, and the sound of the horns and horns not far away became more and more enthusiastic, Xie Rouqing felt that half of her body was hot and half of her body was cold, and it was as if she was half awake and half still dreaming.

"Don't be afraid, there's no one around." Xie Roujia said in a low voice, looking over there with a little curiosity, "What are they doing?" ”

The guards also let go of Shui Ying.

Shui Ying didn't speak to Xie Roujia again, but glared at the guard.

"Give it back to me." She held out her hand and whispered.

The guard placed the sleeve of the arrow in her hand and retreated behind the tree with a blank face.

"You did it on purpose, right? What are you showing off? Show off that they can't catch you? Can't catch your emptiness? Xie Rouqing sat on the back of the cow, didn't even change his position, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm measured, and I'm not here to show off." Xie Roujia said, stroked the cow's back, and sighed a little, "Xiao Huang is so big." ”

The ox stood motionless like its owner, chewing the grass slowly, only flicking its tail.

Xie Rouqing stopped talking and looked ahead with a blank expression.

She stopped talking, and Shui Ying came to her senses instead.

"Have you been here for all this time?" She asked in a low voice.

"No, I just came back." Xie Roujia replied in a low voice, while sitting down behind the rocks on the side, "I've seen Shao Mingqing." ”

Xie Rouqing's body moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at her.

"Really?" Shui Ying's eyes lit up, and she simply learned to sit behind the rocks.

That's fine, in case something unusual is found over there. There is Shui Ying on top.

Xie Rouqing retracted her gaze and looked at the lively place over there, but her ears pricked up, and she heard Shui Ying ask the young master, how is it?

"Okay, that's amazing." Xie Roujia laughed in a low voice, thought about it and made a small gesture, "I've grown taller and thinner." ”

"Did the young master come back with you?" Shui Ying asked.

"Nope." Xie Roujia shook her head, with a little longing, "But he will soon become more powerful, and he will become famous in the world when the time comes." ”

So powerful?

Xie Rouqing frowned slightly.

"What did you do again?" She couldn't help but ask.

Xie Roujia looked at her and smiled.

"I didn't do anything. Isn't your cousin amazing? She laughed.

"The young master is very powerful." Shui Ying nodded repeatedly.

Xie Rouqing didn't dare to speak more. Ignoring her and just staring over there, there was the sound of drums.

The drum is an order, which means that Xie Rouhui has started to order the mine over there.

Xie Rouhui stepped along with the beat of the drum.

"Let's step on it." She sang.

The miners behind her followed her footsteps, and at the same time responded to the witch song.

"Hey!"

"Here's what." Xie Rouhui raised her feet steadily.

The dance steps of the ore are much easier than the dance steps on the altar. It's a repetitive step. Of course, the scriptures say that you can rely on this dance step to find the cinnabar. However, for Xie Rouhui, it is just a step along the scope of the painting, from the beginning of the dance to the end of the dance to complete this set of rituals that have been handed down. Then let everyone dig in this area.

The hey sound in her ears became louder and louder, Xie Rouhui's steps became more and more steady, and her expression became more and more leisurely.

Because sand is the Xie family's private witchcraft, not everyone can watch, especially when stepping on sand, idle people have to avoid it, and there are not so many people standing on the potholed mountainside.

This witchcraft is simple and boring.

"How many stars are there in the sky?" Xie Rouhui sang, flicked out her sleeves, and staggered around.

"Hey! Hey! Uncountable! The miners shouted excitedly.

Although their limbs were stiff, they still followed Xie Rouhui to make the same movements.

The sand is like this, everyone has to follow the witch, and one action cannot be wrong.

"How much sand is in the ground?" Xie Rouhui shook her body with a heavy step.

"Hey! Hey! Uncountable! ”

"One step on gold!"

"Ho!"

"Two steps on silver!"

"Ho!"

"Three steps on the lotus blossom!"

"Ho!"

Neat singing, heavy footsteps, and fierce drums resounded through the mountains and forests.

The people standing at the foot of the mountain seemed to feel the vibration under their feet, and many of them sang along and walked in place.

Lao Haimu, who was dressed in a mage dress, was even more excited to hold a wooden staff and respond piously.

The only pity is that the ability of the family inheritance has been lost, I don't know how the ancestors cooperated with the Dan Lord to carry out sacrifices, he should ask the Da Dan Lord for advice.

A smile appeared on Mrs. Xie's face, but soon her smile paused, as if the drum was beating wrong.

But the people around didn't find out.

Did you hear it wrong? How can the drum beat be wrong at this time? No, this is the simplest dance step, all the dance steps guided by the Dannu, to put it bluntly, there is no right or wrong at all, what the Dannu dances is what it is.

How can a drum beat be wrong?

"The wrong step."

Xie Rouqing sat up straight on the cow's back and said.

Xie Roujia and Shui Ying, who were talking, both raised their heads slightly and listened to that side.

The singing and drumming continued, without the slightest pause, and everything was as usual.

Shui Ying couldn't hear it, and Xie Roujia lowered her head again.

"She's half-stepped." "She didn't dare to step on it." ”

"Why don't you dare to step on it?" Shui Ying asked casually.

Xie Roujia smiled, reached out and touched the ground around her, Shui Ying looked at her with some puzzlement, and when she was about to ask again, she saw Xie Roujia sitting on her knees and raising her legs and landing heavily in one direction, poof, the ground was trampled down and became a pit.

It turned out that her feet were empty, and she collapsed in one piece, almost jamming her foot on the ground.

Xie Rouhui's heart was still beating, and the hot sweat was covered with a layer of cold sweat, but fortunately, she stopped in time and stepped forward, and also took the opportunity to take a few quick steps to lead the miners to avoid this area, all of which no one noticed.

"Get some gold!" She still sang the trumpet softly in her mouth.

Damn it, if you can step on a pit, will it still collapse?

Maybe the mountain rock is loose. Who knows where it will be a pit, not to mention that where there is cinnabar, there may also be caves.

"Ho-ho!"

The miners who followed behind them responded in unison, while stomping their feet heavily.

The ground shook and sand and gravel rolled down the mountainside.

Xie Rouhui only felt numb in her heart.

She thought of the mine collapse from the previous section.

If you trample on it at this time, it will be a small loss of people, and a big loss of life.

"Show a silver!" She still sang steadily.

"Ho-ho!" Miners should and.

Xie Rouhui only felt that her feet were soft again, and she seemed to hear the sound of falling earth and rocks in her ears, and her steps couldn't help but be empty again.

Although this action was a bit strange, the miners behind him did not hesitate at all, and the people in it did not feel anything. But if you look at it from a distance, you can see that the original neat line has become a little strange.

Mrs. Xie stood up. Before I could say anything, the ore counting ceremony over there was completed.

The miners looked excited and couldn't help themselves, and knelt down in front of Xie Rouhui.

"Prayer, prayer, prayer." They shouted expectantly.

Xie Rouhui stretched out her hand and pointed at the place where Shi Cai had jumped.

"Go!" She said.

The miners, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time, immediately rushed to the place where Xie Rouhui had jumped and began to dig.

The kneeling miners watched their movements nervously. Whenever an iron pipe is pulled up, they are asked to lean over and prostrate their heads.

"No sand!"

Said the steward who had inspected the dirt and rocks that had been sucked up.

One by one, the iron pipes were driven in and pulled up.

"No sand!"

"No sand!"

The sound kept repeating. The kneeling miner's expression gradually became sad. Prostration trembles.

The scope of this circle had already been explored, and the stewards finally saluted Xie Rouhui.

"No sand."

Xie Rouhui leaned over and bowed to the top of the mountain.

"No me! Don't let me! She chanted long, full of sadness and unease.

The miners who participated in the sacrifice leaned down and wept.

After doing this three times, Xie Rouhui got up and walked down. The stewards followed, but the miners who participated in the rituals and diggers were still on their knees.

The mountain gods did not accept cinnabar because they were not pious enough, and they dug holes in the mountain and hurt the body of the mountain god, so they would kneel here to accept the punishment until the new mine came out and the great witch came to intercede for them, so that the atonement could be completed.

"How does it feel?" Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Rouhui who came over and asked hesitantly.

"I can't feel cinnabar, I hope there will be one in the next place." Xie Rouhui said, and lowered her head again, "Mother forgives her sins." ”

"What the eldest lady said, how can this be your fault, this is the mountain god." The old man next to him said busily.

Mrs. Xie hummed.

"With the mountain god here, I am not qualified to forgive anyone's sins, don't say such things." She said.

Xie Rouhui did not speak again.

"Tired, go back and rest, there will be another one tomorrow." Xie Wenxing said.

The first time you may be rusty, you can ask her when you go back.

Mrs. Xie swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

"Get in the car." She said.

The people and horses rushed along the mountain road, Xie Roujia and Shui Ying stood up, and Xie Rouqing also relaxed slightly on the back of the ox.

The sound of chariots and horses was still coming, except for the miners who had atoned for their sins on the mountainside, everyone else was walking down.

Brother An broke away from Lao Haimu's hand.

"What are you doing?" Old Haimu shouted.

"I'm not leaving, I'm from Yushan Mine, and I should atone for my sins here." An Ge Yu said.

"You're not a miner anymore, what nonsense." Lao Haimu shouted in a low voice, "Come with me, there will be another one tomorrow." ”

Brother An jumped away in three steps and two steps, and ran towards the mountainside.

Lao Haimu shouted angrily and chased after two steps, but seeing that Mrs. Xie and the others had already gotten into the carriage, he couldn't stay for a long time, so he had to stomp his feet and leave first.

Brother An stopped at this time, looked in the direction they left, and was just about to turn around and walk towards the kneeling miners, and then suddenly stopped, turned his head and froze.

Xie Roujia stood on the rocks and waved at him, showing a smile.

Angobi walked with his feet up, but stopped after a few steps.

The sound of cars and horses still coming down the hill.

Seeing that Brother An turned his gaze away and didn't see her, Xie Roujia smiled.

"Yesterday he saw me scared and ran away without saying a word." She said.

Shui Ying suddenly.

"Oh, so yesterday he was because of this." She said, thinking of the appearance of Brother An at that time, and laughed along.

Xie Rouqing didn't smile at all.

"Are you happy to scare him like this?" She said indifferently.

"Of course not, I'm happy to see you." Xie Roujia said with a smile.

Xie Rouqing ignored her, looking at the noise on the mountainside over there, the noise under the mountain dissipated, and the crying here became clearer and clearer.

"It's pathetic, I don't know how long I'm going to kneel here." She said.

If you really have to kneel for three days, half of these people will be wasted.

"Cinnabar didn't come out, and it's not their fault." Xie Rouqing said with a bit of amazement.

"yes." Xie Roujia nodded, "I haven't even completed the sand point, the sand and the sand are not even daring to order, how can the sand be produced." ”

Xie Rouqing turned her head to look at her.

"Isn't that better?" She said.

Xie Roujia looked at her with some puzzlement.

"It's a provocation to be caught by them, and it's a provocation to point out the sand they can't spot." Xie Rouqing said, "It's just right for them to see who the real eldest lady is." ”

Xie Roujia looked at her, and then looked at the mountainside, looking thoughtful.

"Do you dare?" Xie Rouqing asked again.

Do you dare to show up? Do you dare to be caught?

Xie Roujia shook her head.

Xie Rouqing sneered, stretched out her hand to pat the cow's back, and the cow chewing grass slowly turned around.

Xie Roujia grabbed the bull's head.

"Nope." She said, looking at Xie Rouqing, her eyes lit up, "Do you dare?" ”

What the?

Xie Rouqing frowned.

"What do I dare? What would I not dare. She said lightly.

Xie Roujia's smile spread.

"Okay, then you can go." She said, patting the cow's head, "You go and get some sand." ”

What to go?

Xie Rouqing was stunned.

The scalper had already walked forward obediently, and she was caught off guard and hurriedly grabbed the seat.

"Me? What are you talking about? How is me? She said, patting the cow and asking it to stop.

Xie Roujia looked at her and smiled slightly.

"Because it's not a provocation for me to be caught by them, and it's not a provocation for me to point out the sand they can't spot." She said, "It's not the eldest lady who can point out the sand that they can't point is the real provocation." ”
