Chapter 46: Rush
As Xie Roujia walked inward, many people were scattering in all directions in the courtyard.
"Lights out, lights out." They shouted urgently.
With the shouting, the Xie family's mansion, which was originally brightly lit as day, gradually fell into darkness.
"What's going on?" Shao Mingqing asked.
Xie Roujia stopped and looked ahead, the layers of densely packed houses looked unreorientable in the dark.
"They're going to drive away doom too." She said.
No matter what they were going to do, she would have to do it herself.
Xie Roujia raised her feet and ran inward, the road was dim and unknown, but her footsteps did not hesitate at all, and in a blink of an eye, she ran into the thick night.
This girl dares to go up the mountain at night, and the flat ground of the house is naturally nothing to her.
Shao Mingqing hurriedly followed.
Lanterns were removed from Mrs. Xie's courtyard and a bonfire was lit.
Knowing that Mrs. Xie was going to use Da Da Da to drive away misfortune for Mrs. Xie, the servants in the family quickly set up, the big drums were arranged, and dozens of young children were quickly dressed up.
"Have you said hello to the government?" Xie Wenxing asked.
Da Da is a big ceremony, and it is at night, and it will appear on the street later so as not to cause panic, and it is necessary to go out of the city gate, now is not the time for Bashu to be the country, although they do not need the consent of the government, but they also have to say hello.
Xie Wenchang nodded.
"Wen Xiu went and said it himself." He said.
Xie Wenxing stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, and asked Mrs. Xie how she was preparing for the future.
Xie Wenchang also answered them all.
"Still, I don't think it's appropriate." After saying this, he lowered his voice again, "The doctors have already said that the old lady is tonight, if she dies when she is in Dada, it will become a joke for Ah Yuan and the old lady to spread out." ”
The death of the old lady has also become a god who does not save, what kind of person does the god not save? Damn it.
Xie Wenxing sighed.
"But Ayuan is filial." He said, "If you don't do something for your mother, she won't be at ease, just laugh, for the sake of her mother, Ayuan won't care." ”
As they spoke, they saw Mrs. Xie come out, she had already changed into her black clothes and red clothes, the lanterns had been removed, and the people were standing in the light of the campfire dancing in the light flickering on and off.
The boys entered one after another, and the drummers stood in front of the drums.
Xie Wenxing waved his hand.
"Stand back, stand back." Xie Wenchang said to the people around him.
The crowd retreated in a chaotic manner, Xie Wenxing saw Xie Rouhui standing in the corner of the corridor, and he waved at Xie Rouhui.
Xie Rouhui asked Xie Yao, who was holding her, to let go of her hand and hurriedly walked over.
"Huihui, your mother will leave the house in a while, you guard your grandmother here, don't ......" When he said this, a big drum sounded, overshadowing Xie Wenxing's voice.
Xie Rouhui and Xie Wenxing both subconsciously took a step back, watching Mrs. Xie step into the arena and raise the Changge in her hand, just as she was about to dance, someone rushed from the darkness like an arrow, and actually knocked Mrs. Xie to the side.
Mrs. Xie's exclamation was muffled by the sound of drums, and this qiē happened so quickly that the people around thought that this was Mrs. Xie's sacrificial action.
But Xie Wenxing's eyes widened, and Xie Rouhui also reached out to cover her mouth.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
How could it be her! How did she come!
After the people in the field knocked down Mrs. Xie, the action did not stop, and the long whip-like thing in his hand was thrown on the bonfire, the fire splashed everywhere, and the long whip suddenly burned, jumping like a snake in the air, and the sparks were like rain, which was dazzling.
There was an uproar, and the voices of the people around were boiling, and the roar suddenly began.
Mrs. Xie raised her head and looked at the girl standing in the splash of sparks, the straw rope in the girl's hand was still waving out, accompanied by the sound of drums on both sides, stirring the bonfires on all sides, and the flames splashed sparks, which also made her shine in it.
"Hui Hui ......" Mrs. Xie muttered, her face incredulous.
Be...... Megumii?
"Miss!"
The onlookers in front of them also saw the girl's face clearly, and they blurted out and shouted, which made more people shout.
"The eldest lady is gone!"
"The eldest lady wants to take care of the eldest lady!"
No, no, she's not a big lady! She's not!
Xie Rouhui stepped forward and opened her mouth to shout, but the next moment someone held down her mouth and pressed her whole person backwards at the same time.
Caught off guard, Xie Rouhui fell to the ground on her back.
The pain made her eyes glow, but her screams were blocked by the hand.
"Huihui, you go down first, you go to the tunnel." Xie Wenxing said in a low voice.
No, no, she doesn't go! Why!
Xie Rouhui shook her head with a whimper, tears flowing from her eyes because of the pain of the fall.
"Don't mess around, there can only be one eldest lady, and there can only be one Huihui." Xie Wenxing shouted in a low voice.
Then why wasn't she the one who was pulled down! Why not her! It's yourself!
Why didn't my father stop her! Kill her on the spot who disturbed her mother's distraction! Beat her to death on the spot!
She couldn't shout out her question, and no one answered her, covering her mouth was not enough, Xie Wenxing actually pulled over a colored flag erected next to her, covered her head with a colored flag, and pulled her inward along the corridor to retreat.
Because the idlers and others had been retired, the corridor here was empty, the lanterns were extinguished, and all of them were shrouded in the thick night, which soon covered up the figures of their father and daughter.
"Is it okay to let Megumi come?" Xie Wenchang withdrew his blank gaze from the girl in the field and looked behind him.
When he asked, he saw that there was no one behind him, and Xie Wenchang, who was still there, had disappeared without a trace.
Where did it go?
He called Hui Hui just now, just to let her play? Was this discussed with Mrs. Xie?
I won't say it just now, but Xie Rouhui came to do this, wouldn't it be a bigger joke in the future?
What are these two husbands and wives doing!
On the other side, Xie Yao also looked at the girls in the field dumbfounded.
Megumii?
Her eyes couldn't help but look at the door of the house, and the girl who was called by Xie Wenxing was no longer visible.
Xie Yao looked at the middle of the field again, the girl who was waving the straw rope and dancing in the firelight was wearing coarse linen clothes, and the straw shoes were exposed under the hem of the skirt with the lifting of the feet.
This, this...... It's so fast to change clothes.
Xie Roujia waved the straw rope in her hand, with the wave, the burned straw rope turned into ashes on the ground, the drum beat became more and more excited, Xie Roujia's movements became faster and faster, she looked at the children pretending to be servants standing in front of her, sometimes advancing and sometimes retreating, as if she was testing to be afraid but unwilling to admit defeat.
Slowly, she got closer and closer to the children, and at the same time, the children, who had been swaying randomly to the sound of the drums, became a little uneasy.
It's not the first time they've participated in this kind of sacrifice, these routines are already familiar to them, they're different from witches, they're just an ornament, so it's very simple and casual, but this time it feels different.
The dancing girl was wielding a straw whip in her hand, constantly approaching, she didn't wear a terrifying four-eyed mask, she didn't hold Changge in her hand, she didn't shout, she just looked at them, but why did she feel that her eyes were getting more and more terrifying?
The children began to stir, wanting to dodge and fighting back.
The onlookers also became nervous, their bodies trembling and huddled together, as if there was really a fight in front of them, and the indifference between victory and defeat in the fight made people worry.
The whip of the grass slammed into the middle of the boys.
The boys who had been gathered together suddenly avoided separation, Xie Roujia took the opportunity to jump into it, the boys were panicked and didn't know what to do, but instinctively told them to get together, only in this way can they have the strength to fight against this girl.
But the whip with the fire struck them among them incessantly.
Every time the whip was flicked, it caused a crowd of people to cheer and cheer all around.
But Mrs. Xie was not obsessed with it, she did not treat these boys as misfortune, so when she watched the whip throw past and sparks flew around, she couldn't help but shout, but surprisingly, there was no scene where the whip was whipped on any child.
The whip is as dexterous as a snake, narrowly avoiding the children every time.
The shouts in the courtyard grew shorter and more excited.
With the whip raised, the girls in the field moved and swayed, forcing the boys in one direction step by step.
"Drive!"
She shouted.
"Drive!"
The people around him responded excitedly.
The boys began to retreat step by step, not counting the time as before, or according to the command of the people next to them, they really wanted to escape, retreated, and watched the girl who was dancing step by step.
They exited the field, crossed the threshold, and walked out of the courtyard.
The onlookers were no longer as scared and nervous as they were at the beginning, the boys' retreat made them more courageous, the desire for victory made their blood boil, and with the dancing girls, they only wanted to charge, they only wanted to fight, they only wanted to shout loudly.
Expel these plagues! Banish these dooms! Banish! Banish!
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
Expel these plagues!
Xie Roujia was also shouting in her heart, her steps became more and more steady, holding a straw whip in one hand and a torch in the other.
With her movements, more people took off the torches from the side and moved behind her step by step.
As the crowd of doomers gradually walked out, the people waiting on the side re-lit the lights, and the dark Xie family's mansion brightened up with the surge of people, like a dancing fire snake spreading away, and the place where it passed was instantly bright.
The guards standing on guard in the attic looked at the fire snake, and the expressions on their originally wooden faces were agitated.
"I didn't understand why I had to turn off the lights in my house at night when Da Da was chasing the epidemic." One of the guards muttered, "Watching the darkness fade is so exciting. ”
