The door of the Xie family's ancestral house slowly closed, but the hustle and bustle behind him was still overwhelming.

The people in the courtyard looked at the girls who were striding and saluted.

"Miss."

Xie Roujia strode over with a smile and went straight to the ancestral hall.

After the sacrifice, the maiden will also stay in the ancestral hall for one night.

Behind her was a person carrying a sedan chair to follow, but she was quickly pushed aside by Xie Cunli.

"Useless waste, not as fast as Huihui." He shouted, and he didn't need to be helped, and hurried to catch up with Xie Roujia, "Huihui, are you tired?" Tired or not? ”

Xie Roujia just strode forward, didn't seem to hear his words, raised his feet and walked into the ancestral hall, the door of the ancestral hall slammed shut, Xie Cunli almost knocked down the door, people couldn't help but take a few steps back, Xie Wenxing hurriedly supported him.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Xie shouted, "What kind of attitude do you have with your uncle!" ”

Xie Roujia hadn't spoken yet, and Xie Cunli had already waved his hand.

"She was tired, tired, danced the full sacrifice dance, and ran to the mine again." He said loudly, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, "You forgot that you were carried back before, and Megumi was just tired and didn't want to speak." ”

What she didn't want to talk about, it was obviously deliberate, because she wasn't Megumi at all.

Mrs. Xie clenched her hand.

"Yes, yes, Second Uncle Ancestor, you're tired, you're also tired, hurry up and rest." Xie Wenxing helped Xie Cunli and smiled.

Xie Cunli smiled and nodded.

"Is Megumi ready to eat and drink here?" He asked urgently.

"Ready." Mrs. Xie said, "Second Uncle Ancestor, you don't have to worry about it, she won't wronged herself." ”

Xie Wenxing coughed lightly.

"Okay, okay, let's go rest first, let's go rest first." He said.

Mrs. Xie glanced at the ancestral hall, secretly exhaled, and turned to leave.

The ancestral hall is quiet, and the mansion is still busy and lively. There was still a lot to do after the sacrifice, and although it had been busy for almost a month, everyone was running around with a smile of excitement and excitement on their faces at this moment.

You can see the side of the mountain god, you can get the blessing of the mountain god, this time the grand occasion will become a legend in the land of Bashu forever, and you can experience this legend in person. Even a few months of exhaustion are worth it.

Xie Wenchang also stepped into the house.

"Are the shrine maidens all arranged?" He asked in a loud voice.

"Second master, rest assured. It's all arranged. The steward who followed him replied.

Xie Wenchang couldn't suppress a smile on his face.

"I'll go see Qing'er." "It must be exhausting," he said. ”

"Yes, yes, the third lady alone can survive the drumming of the whole sacrifice." The steward said excitedly. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but wipe my tears with excitement.

After this sacrifice, everyone's feelings seemed to become fragile and excited, and they couldn't help but want to cry.

"Yes, she has been practicing hard every day." Xie Wenchang said. "It's finally worthy of Wu Qing's trust."

As he spoke, he had already come to the outside of the wing next to the ancestral hall.

The shrine maidens rested here, and the aroma of food was heard. However, after a sacrifice, the girls who were tired and almost out of strength were waiting to be washed and rested, and they had no appetite to eat at all, with the exceptions of course.

Xie Wenchang saw from the window that in front of the long dining table in the room, a girl was sitting there and eating a lot.

Her sacrificial garment hadn't been changed out yet. His hair was loose and drenched in sweat, apparently unwashed. It looks like the wolf bèi is unbearable.

"Qing'er." Xie Wenchang shouted.

Xie Rouqing's movements paused, and then he continued to eat. It seems that Xie Wenchang's shouting was not heard at all.

Xie Wenchang shouted again, and Xie Rouqing turned his head at this time, but he didn't mean to come over.

"Qing'er is tired, you have a good rest, your mother and brother are inconvenient to come to see you at this time, and everyone will come to pick you up when you go home tomorrow." Xie Wenchang said with a smile.

Xie Rouqing hummed and didn't speak again, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked straight inside.

"The third lady is going to wash, take a good rest after washing." The steward hurriedly said, "The third lady is really tired, and she can't speak." ”

Xie Wenchang smiled and nodded.

"Let them rest well, after so many years of nervousness, they can be at ease in the future." He said.

The steward should be in a voice.

"Second master, someone from the government is here." Someone outside came to offer the way.

Xie Wenchang walked away in high spirits under the courtesy of the steward.

Xie Rou washed it out, and the girls had already relieved some of their strength and began to eat, and a smile appeared on their faces, talking excitedly about today's events.

Seeing that Xie Rouqing was busy with everyone standing up to say hello, there was awe and curiosity in her eyes, and there was no more contempt and ridicule from before.

For the first time in many years, a Dannu danced a full sacrifice dance, and it also attracted the manifestation of the mountain god, although they also participated in person, but only Xie Rouqing accompanied the Dannu through the whole process, even if the Xie family treated her harshly, her family affairs would not be bad, because she had attracted much attention.

"The second master came to see you?" A girl took the initiative to say hello.

Xie Rouqing hummed.

"That's great, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to pick us up tomorrow." The other girl said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, my father, my mother, my brother, and my sisters who got married are here, and my sisters-in-law have also called their mothers." Another girl said, "Tears of joy are coming down."

All the hard work is for this moment, the girls laughed excitedly, but saw Xie Rouqing walk away without saying a word.

"Third sister." A girl couldn't help but say, "Aren't you happy?" ”

Xie Rouqing turned her head and smiled.

"I'm glad." "But if I didn't dance well, my family would be able to pick me up like this, and I'd be happier." ”

…………………………………………………

When Xie Wenchang hurriedly walked out, Xie Wenxing, Xie Wenjun and others were already outside the door, talking with a young man.

This is the people of the government?

There was only one man, surrounded by four or five guards.

The young man wore a lake-blue muslin robe, his jade-like face was covered with a layer of glow in the sunset, and his eyes were calm and awe-inspiring.

Xie Wenchang recognized it at a glance. This is the king of Dongping County.

At the end of the sacrifice, the officials came to congratulate, and they also returned the salute, it stands to reason that these people should have left, why didn't the king of Dongping County leave, and came to their door?

Xie Wenchang hurriedly walked over and stood behind Xie Wenxing, listening with his ears pricked up.

The king of Dongping County is congratulating them.

"The sacrifice is complete. The mountain gods have spirits. This is an auspicious rui that is bigger than the phoenix bloodstone. He said with a smile.

Xie Wenxing and others were busy giving gifts.

"It is also the emperor's grace, the king of the county came to watch the ceremony on behalf of His Majesty, so that my Xie family is so glorious. Moved by the heavens and the earth, the mountain god appeared. He said.

King Dongping smiled and looked around.

In the distance, the crowd of people in the mountains and clearings was still gathering, and the number of people seemed to be more than when they were sacrificed.

"Are these people going to disperse tomorrow?" He asked.

"In the past, it was dispersed after the sacrifice was over. But now everyone says that the mountain god has a spirit, and he wants to personally send the Dannu into the city tomorrow. Xie Wenjun said with a smile.

I see. King Dongping nodded with a smile.

"God has a spirit, and the people have faith, this is the blessing of your Xie family, and it is also the blessing of the imperial court." He said.

Xie Wenxing and others bowed and thanked again.

"This time, the sacrifice of the people is also hard." Xie Wenxing said with a smile. Thinking of something, he looked at the king of Dongping County, "Since everyone refuses to disperse tonight, then reward everyone tonight." Eat meat and drink wine, and rejoice with the mountain gods. ”

The king of Dongping County nodded with a smile.

Xie Wenchang and the others immediately arranged. Of course, it was the reward of the emperor's envoy, and the news spread, and cheers rang out all over the mountains.

"Thank you, the god of the mountains!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, King Jun!"

Hearing this shout, the king of Dongping couldn't help but laugh.

"It turns out that it feels really good to be chanted by the people in unison." He laughed.

"Your Highness laughed." Xie Wenxing and the others laughed.

King Dongping shook his head.

"It's not a joke, these chants are sincere, and they sound shocking." He said, looking at Xie Wenxing and the others, "Sincerity is the most rare, and it should be cherished." ”

Xie Wenxing hurriedly straightened his face and clothes, and led everyone to bow down.

"Obey the teachings of His Royal Highness, and live up to His Majesty's love." He said.

King Dongping nodded and stopped talking.

"Your Highness, the banquet has been arranged, please take a seat." Xie Wenjun said on the side.

"Did you tell Megumi about it? I'm going to meet His Royal Highness the King of the County later. Xie Wenxing turned his head sideways and whispered to the steward next to him.

Her name is Megumi.

The king of Dongping lowered his eyes slightly.

I walked here to meet this eldest lady.

But now that he said that he wanted to see him, he thought that she must be exhausted after a sacrifice today, and she had to dress up when she came to see her.

After all, she is a little girl, she must be very tired and tired, and socializing and meeting customers is very tiring.

It doesn't have to be seen today, let her rest at ease, the king of Dongping raised his hand to stop it.

"No, no need, I'm just walking around by myself, just come to you, as for the banquet, let's wait for tomorrow, and then go back to the city tomorrow to have a feast." He said with a smile.

Since he spoke, no one dared to force the invitation, so Xie Wenxing and the others were busy giving gifts.

At this time, night had fallen, dozens of bonfires were lit around, and the people of the Xie family pushed out a mountain of wine and meat from the side door, and the sound of talking, laughing, and cheering dispersed like the wind, and some people sang and danced around the bonfire, and there was jubilation between heaven and earth.

The king of Dongping looked at the scene of thousands of people enjoying together, and then looked back at the brightly lit Xie family's mansion, and walked through this piece of jubilation with a smile on his face.

The residence under the mountain was also brightly lit at night, and before entering the door, Zhou Chengzhen rushed out.

"Uncle Nineteen, what are you doing?" He asked.

"Just go for a walk." The king of Dongping said, turned over and dismounted.

"If you don't let me go casually, you can go casually yourself, it's so late." Zhou Chengzhen raised his eyebrows and said.

King Dongping crossed past him and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Who made me your uncle?" He laughed and strode inward.

Zhou Chengzhen was stunned, laughed again, and turned to follow.

"I'm a nephew, but I'm not a fool, you won't just walk around, what the hell are you doing."

……………………………………………………….

When is it now?

Far away in the city, under the Xie family's mansion, someone pushed the wall hard.

The walls don't move.

Xie Rouhui knew that this was futile, and in order to avoid accidents, Xie Wenxing told her to close the doors on both sides of the tunnel, and only he could open them.

When the sacrifice begins, they will come to pick you up, so that when the sacrifice is over and you enter the ancestral hall, you can change it back.

My father and mother told her so.

That was one day, one night, and half a day later.

Xie Rouhui wrenched her fingers under the night pearl in the tunnel and counted and counted.

But why is there still no one to pick her up now?

Could it be that the hourglass is broken?

Xie Rouhui turned around and pedaled down the steps again, and the hourglass under the lights on several cases in the tunnel was still flowing slowly.

That's right, that's right.

Xie Rouhui bit her lower lip and reached out to cover her mouth.

It's overtime, it's going to be dark out there now, right? It's going to be two days and one night, why hasn't anyone come to pick her up yet?

Didn't the sacrifice jump well? Something went wrong?

Xie Rouhui took a few steps back and forth.

Sometimes she looks forward to something happening to the sacrifice, but if something happens, it's her own name, and although her mother will definitely punish the substitute who uses her name, it's still her who is ashamed.

So she hopes that nothing will happen, but is it not that if nothing happens, they, they don't want to change themselves back? Treat that substitute as a baby? Are you going to live in this tunnel for a lifetime?

Xie Rouhui raised her head and looked around, this is a small living room dug out, properly furnished, the walls are all whitewashed, and even a fake window has been made, at first glance it looks like it is indoors at night.

But in this room, it's always night, and you never see daylight.

Xie Rouhui only felt suffocated, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath.

No, no, no.

She didn't want to stay here for the rest of her life.

Xie Rouhui turned around and ran out, rushing down the steps to the wall, crying and reaching out to bang on the wall desperately.

Someone, someone, someone.

On the other side, Mrs. Xie took Xie Wenxing into the inner room and stared at him with red eyes.

"How could you not have picked her up yet!" She gritted her teeth and whispered, "What do you want!" (To be continued)

ps: It's incredible, nearly four or five hundred pink tickets a day, I'm really scared, alas, how can I be.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
