Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Wang Pan took a look, and now it's only about six o'clock, and he has only slept for more than an hour, but who calls himself such a miserable person, so he had to immediately do a little personal hygiene and ran down, even he didn't care about breakfast, and then ran out directly, and the black boy also walked out behind Wang Pan, originally it was the same as the little tiger, and was startled, but now there is a master, what is it, a dog with a master and a dog without an owner, the difference can be very big, Just like the black boy now, it's there to fight right now. He kept yelling at the blind dragons there. As if to say, 'Sample, this black boy is not afraid of you, my master is here, what can you do to me, how can you do it, I will call you, what can you do to me, you bite me.' ’
The black boy's cry is so abrupt, after all, it has been so long, and it is not only the black boy who has been here, some of the local dogs in the village have also followed their owners here, originally they wanted to fight the human momentum, but as soon as they saw the dragon boat, they ran away with their tails between their legs, and they didn't even dare to breathe. Now when they heard the blackboy's bark, many people looked over, and they wanted to see whose dog was so kind, and dared to bark at the dragon head that scared them. Such a dog must be a good dog, see if you can let your dog breed.
But soon they were disappointed, now there is no one in the village who does not know the black boy, after all, it is really rare to see a dog as big as it, they have never seen it before, but even if there is, it is only seen in Wang Pan's house. That, of course, is Blackboy and his two wives.
The reason why seeing the black boy will disappoint them is not that the black box is bad, and the black box is too arrogant. I don't look down on their earth dogs at all, they have tried it before, not to mention letting them tempt the black boy, before they get close, they will be scared away by the white-haired general and Xiao Ash, there is no female dog who can get close to the black boy's side, and when they hear Wang Panyi's explanation, they know that the female dog will also be jealous, so they have no choice. Originally, they wanted to ask one of their offspring to go back. But I heard that the descendants of Heizai had already been given by Wang Pan's friends, and they had no choice.
"Haha, Wang Pan is here, when did these dragon boats arrive, why didn't we hear any movement at all." I saw that Wang Pan was coming. Those people immediately made a way, after all, others are the masters, and this face still has to be given, but Wang Pancai was pulled by the village chief as soon as he walked into the crowd.
"I don't know about this, I have a friend who is in this business, so I made a phone call yesterday and asked him to send me a few dragon boats. I didn't expect it to be so soon, I thought it would be at least ten o'clock, and I just heard my butler say that it was brought in in the middle of the night. We slept, and he didn't call me, and I only found out now! Wang Pan shook his head and said, of course he won't tell the truth. He is not afraid to scare others by saying it, but even if he tells the truth, no one will believe him.
Who would have thought that this dragon boat was just made by Wang Pan? And four of them came out at once. Even if it were handed over to the world's best shipyard, it wouldn't be possible. So he simply didn't know anything. However, the village chief didn't want to break the sand pot and ask in the end, he just asked casually, I don't know, even if it is, what he is most concerned about is whether these dragon boats can be rowed, which is what he is most concerned about now.
"Oh, I see, when are you going to put them in the river?" The village chief nodded and asked again.
"Of course, the sooner the better, you see that there are so many people gathered here now, it's not the same thing, and there are people burning paper money there, isn't it damaging the environment, just let them down, so that several teams can also come to train." Wang Pan said without thinking about it.
"It's not proper, it's not proper, you can't be so hasty, after all, you have to have a launching ceremony, worship the river god first, otherwise it will be bad if the dragon god and the river god conflict, the old god of our village has seen it, today is an auspicious time at noon, and then hold a launching ceremony, do you want me to prepare the sacrifices." The village chief shook his head and vetoed Wang Pan's words. But when he said that he wanted him to prepare the sacrifice, it was just talking, and it was money. Wang Pan didn't care about this thing, there were so many things in his space that he wouldn't ask him to prepare.
Besides, so many of his things are 'sponsored', and he will care about this thing, although Wang Pan doesn't care about what the village chief said, but who makes the people in the village believe this, the village chief said that Wang Laoshen is a yin and yang master in the village, as for his name, it is estimated that some old people only know, and other people generally call him Wang Laoshen's nickname, Wang Pan knows that if he doesn't do what the village chief said, I'm afraid that even if the dragon boat is put down, no one will row. Although the young people didn't care, but their parents would care, Wang Pan had no choice, so he had to nod and say: "Okay, just do it according to what the village chief said, as for the sacrifices, I'll prepare, it's not bad, but now it's not a problem to put this dragon boat here, Uncle Village, do you think you can find some people to help me carry it to the river beach over there." ”
"There's no problem with this, anyway, I'm going to sacrifice the river gods over there later, and now I should invite these dragon gods over there." The village chief nodded, and then went to greet someone. Wang Pan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there is a river beach on the side he just pointed to, although the water in the river is now much higher than in winter, but it has not rained for several days, so the river water is still very clear, and the water flow is not urgent, and there is also a large open space by the river, and it is relatively flat, but because there are more stones here, no one has come to plant crops, so it has always been empty there. Now it can be used as a place to enter the water.
Of course, there is a reason why Wang Pan moved this dragon boat so early, and it is not the case that so many people gather at his doorstep. Especially those who burn paper there, Wang Pan is the most depressed, they are all high in seniority, Wang Pan doesn't dare to talk about them, otherwise the patriarch will not find his own trouble, so Wang Pan had to transfer this dragon boat, don't you want to burn paper, slowly go to the open space by the river to burn.
More people is more power, if you wanted to move these big guys in the past. I don't know how long it will take to find someone to succeed, but now there will be no less than two hundred people just watching the excitement here, even men, no less than seventy or eighty people, these people who make crops. None of them have the strength to do it, dozens of people were recruited by the village chief, and they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to move without saying a word.
Of course I won't say more, this can be the dragon god, just now they were afraid of angering the dragon god, so although there are many people who watch it, but there are really not many people who dare to take it, at least those people over forty years old dare to touch it. Because they were afraid that the dragon god would be angry, but now it was different, they were going to move the dragon god, and the water was their home. So they think that they will be blessed by the dragon god if they do their best now, and of course they are all very active. There is no way, these people want to think like this, Wang Pan can't help but let others contribute. In the end, he saw that the seventy or eighty-year-old man was also going forward with the dragon boat, as if he could take advantage of it. So that the young man did not dare to go fast, lest the old man not be able to keep up, and then he would go home and be taught a lesson.
After all, these old people are their elders, don't say it's Wang Pan, so the village chief couldn't help but shake his head when he saw such a thing, but he didn't say anything, he didn't want to offend those old people. Fortunately, this dragon boat is not heavy, and it is long, so it is no problem to use more than 20 people to carry a dragon boat.
With the joint efforts of those men present, the four dragon boats were transferred to the river beach after a while, yes, with the efforts of those men, because the three-year-old children present also followed there shouting and cheering, which also has to give them a little credit, but there is nothing to do with women, although now the emphasis is on equality between men and women, but it is impossible for a mountain village like Wang Pan to achieve equality, and many times the ancestral hall will not let women enter when worshipping ancestors. Women can watch a ritual like this, but they won't let them do it. Anyway, these are all rules that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and no one dares to break them.
But they can't move their hands, but they can move their mouths, Wang Pan heard them all say something there. It may also be that Wang Pan's dragon head is carved too expressively, so they regard it as the dragon god, which is what Wang Pan knows, and the paper money in the town today is almost sold out, and I don't know how the dragon god in Wangjia Village has been spread, so at noon, when Wang Pan and they were about to come to hold a ceremony, they found that there were a lot of people gathered on the river beach, and there were many people who burned paper money there, many people were people Wang Pan didn't know, and when I asked, I knew that it was some people from neighboring villages.
Originally, yesterday early this morning, they heard some young people who came to Wangjia Village to play last night say that Wangjia Village was going to row a dragon boat today, but before they could find out the news, there was news again, saying that there was a dragon god apparition in Wangjia Village, and some people saw the people in Wangjia Village, one by one, they were there to buy paper money, so it also brought the curiosity of those people in the neighboring villages, so there was a kind of example, and there was the scene that Wang Pan saw now.
Seeing this, but Wang Pan was startled, fortunately he had already transferred the dragon boat to the edge of the river, otherwise, the grass outside his house could still be saved, just think about Wang Pan was afraid for a while, don't talk about these people, even Wang Pan's mother also went to buy paper money to burn it, so Wang Pan is still very happy now.
However, Wang Pan and the others didn't bother with that, and they prepared for the memorial service there with peace of mind. This time Wang Pan came out as a sacrifice with a whole beast, but unfortunately, few people present had seen what the animal was, but they didn't say anything, knowing that Wang Pan took it out, there was still a difference, they used to use pigs, cattle and sheep, but now that there is a better one, of course they won't say anything. Moreover, the beast is still roasted, and you can smell the fragrance from afar, just smelling it makes your mouth water.
Not to mention the river gods, even they themselves can't stand the temptation. In addition to this beast, of course, there are fruits and the like. These Wang Pan are the most lacking, so he was not stingy, and directly took out a few bags. Placed on the river beach.
Wang Laoshen didn't know what he read in front of the altar, anyway, others didn't understand a word, and then played with some paper talismans spontaneously combustible or something, but Wang Pan was disdainful, these are some chemical reactions, and they have long been decrypted on the Internet, and they can only be deceived in the countryside. But Wang Pan didn't say much, who made everyone believe this, if he said it at this time, he would not only offend Wang Laoshen, but also offend everyone. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
And such things have existed for thousands of years, is there not a smart person? But why will it be handed down all the time, that is not the suffering of the people before the Dragon Kingdom, so they want to have a spiritual sustenance, although it is only illusory, but it is enough to make them feel at ease, so those temples in ancient times. Taoist temples will be so popular, in history, many temples are fertile land, and hire people to help them do their work. And they even had the money to shape Buddha statues out of gold. It is conceivable how rich those temples are, and the reason why they are rich is not because of the sesame oil money of those ordinary people, the reason why they are reluctant to eat. If you don't want to wear it, you have to give money to donate it to those temples. Isn't it because they want to have a spiritual sustenance?
Even in today's developed society, those temples are still so rich, and those monks go out in small cars and play with mobile phones, not because of the sesame oil money given by the common people, so even those big cities have such things, let alone Wang Pan's village. However, Wang Pan didn't want to wait for the patriarch to find him trouble, so he also followed those villagers to worship there, and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
Soon, the old god finished the performance, and first eight big men carried the roasted beast that still exuded the smell of meat into the river and poured it down, saying that it was a gift to the river god, and there were some people on the side, throwing the unfinished fruit into the river. Wang Pan didn't feel sorry for anything, but those children were very distressed, those fruits were delicious, and now when they saw that they were thrown away, they all wanted to run out and grab some back.
However, their parents would not let them do that, it would be disrespectful to the river god, so they all pulled their children tightly to prevent them from messing around. Otherwise, it would be humiliating for so many people to watch now.
"The auspicious time has come, please go into the water!" Finally, when Wang Pan was almost dozing off when he stood there, he heard Wang Laoshen screaming loudly there, and now Wang Pan came to his senses, and now he put down those dragon boats, and there was nothing for him to do, and only those dragon boat teams were left to train by themselves. Now those dragon boats are all new, and in addition to the different colors, in fact, they are basically the same, although it has not been long to the official competition, but now their training time is about the same, so there is no question of fairness or unfairness, everyone encounters similar things. Whichever team can control the dragon boat first, the greater the hope of winning.
As soon as Wang Laoshen's words were implemented, dozens of people immediately came out, and they lifted the dragon boat and walked into the water, just where they were, the water surface is not deep, this is a river beach with a small slope, and the terrain here is also familiar to everyone, so when the dragon boat is all put down in the water, the person in front is only flooded to the waist.
After the dragon boat is released, on the shore, firecrackers will be set off immediately, although many cities are now not allowed to let firecrackers, but in the countryside like Wang Pan and them, no one cares about that, and there are many firecracker workshops in the store, this is inexhaustible, although every year Qingming, July and a half and the like will always cause several fires, but it is still repeatedly banned. After all, setting off firecrackers is just a celebration, and it has been like this for thousands of years, where can it be changed if you change it.
After putting down the dragon boat, it was almost one o'clock, and everyone's stomachs were hungry, of course, it was impossible to train on an empty stomach like this, so after tying up the dragon boat, everyone dispersed and went home to eat.
But Wang Pan invited Baozi and Wang Jiamin, as well as the village chief and the patriarch, to his home for a light meal. The village chief and the clan are all elders, of course Wang Pan will not forget them, and Wang Jiamin has been back for so long, and he has not invited her to dinner, just this time Wang Pan pulled them back together. Wang Jiamin is welcome, she has long heard that Wang Pan's food is delicious, and she has long wanted to come, but she has never had a chance.
