Chapter 5 Employing the town
The sun is falling, and the smoke curls from every household in Xiaosang Village.
The Mo family started dinner a quarter of an hour early today, and it ended early, so the family packed up and walked to the village chief's house in the afterglow of the sunset that was about to set.
The ink-dyed clothes are naturally carried on Mo Shi'an's body, and Su Niang's shoulder basket hides a few small buns, and the body of the ink-dyed clothes can only eat less and eat more, and she doesn't know when she will be able to go home, so as not to starve the child at that time.
Mo Dyed Yu clasped his hands in front of him and held a small Mazha, walking behind his father and mother, always keeping a distance of more than one step.
The last time she walked out of the house, it was also at this time, Xiaosang Village relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and every year after the winter solstice, the spring is warm and bright, and the village will pick a day of auspicious days of the zodiac to hold a mountain opening sacrifice.
The winter here is relatively long, there is half a year, only spring and autumn without summer, the crops in the field, the early spring will be planted, the harvest will be when the winter comes, the days will be calculated, and if you miss it, you may lose a few loads of grain, and this year will be tight.
It is not enough to just point to the field to gouge food, the men in the village are all good at hunting with their hoes, it is too dangerous to go up the mountain in winter, this season everything recovers, so it is good to go up the mountain to hunt, in the months before the weather turns cold, catch more prey, save more money, so as to survive the cold winter of half a year.
Her father, Mo Shi'an, rarely went into the mountains, mainly because he had the craft of talisman making, and there was no extra time and no need to take risks. ~
Although they are all backers of the mountain, they deal with prey all the year round, but there are also omissions when they enter the mountain and do not come out again, there are one or two in Xiaosang Village every few years, and this sacrifice is also because of this, and everyone hopes to seek peace of mind through this.
The ceremony is actually very simple, the three animals and water wine are placed, and the whole village sincerely kneels down and kowtows a few times, and it is over.
Look, how easy!
But the village chief didn't say that someone had died on the mountain for two years in a row, and this year's mountain sacrifice was going to be a big one!
In fact, it is to charge a little more money, and the ink-dyed clothes carefully looked at the things on the altar, three animals or three animals, water wine or the cheapest green barley wine, and the fruit offering is a wild fruit picked from the mountains, green and green, and you will have to pour your teeth sour at a glance.
Mo Dye Yi pursed his lips, this village chief is too, he doesn't even do a little superficial work, no wonder everyone is reluctant to pay more.
The family of four found a corner and sat down on the spot, the ink-dyed clothes were different, only she sat on the horse.
She noticed that the village chief's gaze stayed on her side for a while, and then turned to the villagers who came one after another, thinking to herself that her father's purchase of an ox cart today must have spread throughout the village, and the old man must be thinking about letting their family get more money out......
"Uncle, aunt, sister Yiyi, sister Xiaoyu." The voice was almost inaudible, and if it weren't for the little girl calling for someone beside the ink-dyed clothes, she couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Ah Mei, just yourself? Where's your mother? Su Niang asked casually.
Ah Mei's home is next door to her house, her mother was a beauty in ten miles and eight villages when she was not married, and she chose Ah Mei's father Su Dacheng, Su Dacheng has a big waist and a round waist, a very loud voice, and is a good hand at work, whether it is farming or hunting, one of the best in the village, the Su family's small life is good, when their family just moved here, they were also taken care of by the Su family, and because they were also from other towns, they settled here, and the two families moved around very diligently.
Three years ago, after Su Dacheng entered the mountain, he never came back, Ah Mei's mother, that is, the widow, gradually became restless, and secretly listened to the gossip of his father and mother in ink-dyed clothes, it is said that the widow and the old man of the village chief are always eyebrows, and the eldest son of the village chief is not clear, the people in the village have no pastime, these romantic affairs spread the fastest, everyone said that there are noses and eyes, and even patted their chests and said that they had seen it with their own eyes, anyway, the widow's reputation this year can not be worse, even with Ah Mei is also looked down upon, I was often bullied by the children in the village.
Mo Dye Yi felt that no matter what the adults were, the child was innocent, and he was extra good to Ah Mei, Su Niang didn't want to have anything to do with their family, but seeing that her daughter liked to play with Ah Mei very much, she acquiesced, but for the widow, she never had a warm past.
"Mother said, I'll come in a while." The little girl tugged at the corner, lowered her head, and her voice swirled in her throat.
"Ah Mei, sit here, why haven't you come to play with me recently?" The ink-dyed clothes can't look at the little girl like this, like an angry bag.
The little girl raised her head, her bright eyes flashed with gratitude, and she quickly lowered her head, her appearance was not half similar to Su Dacheng, but she was a widow ten out of ten, and she began to appear beautiful at a young age, and in the future, she must also be a beauty, but she often lowered her head, and there were very few people who knew her appearance. "My mother said that your family is busy in spring and won't let me go."
The ink dyeing clothes are clear, and the matter of making talismans in her family is not hidden, or it is difficult to explain where the money for her medical treatment and medicine comes from, but this craft is to be hidden, and it seems that the young widow is still very eye-catching.
"I'm not busy, I'll call Xiaoyu over and call you, you want to come over!" Ink-dyed clothes stretched out their hands, shook them with her, and smiled at her.
Ah Mei only thinks that there is no girl in the whole village who is more beautiful than Yiyi, and everyone says that her mother is good-looking, but she thinks that Yiyi is more beautiful than her mother, but unfortunately Yiyi's health is not good, and people in the village say that she may not live to be able to live.

Mojia Benzong, and Ruitang.
"A seven-mile town wants to hire the daughter of my Mo family, and it's too cheap." Mo Shiwen pursed his lips and said, but he was quickly calculating in his heart, this Qili Town has returned to the Mo family, so naturally he has to send someone to take care of it, how can he take this position?
"Cheap? If it weren't for the good relationship between the old man of the Nangong family and the old man of our family, this matter would not have fallen on our family. Mo Shijing snapped the golden silk jade fracture fan on his hand, "I don't know how many families want to climb this family, not to mention the belonging of that town, there is an ethereal peak behind the Nangong family!" ”
"The Nangong family wants to hire the daughter of our Mo family, in order to cure diseases, our Mo family's jade spirit butterfly can collect the nectar of a thousand flowers, and refine a thousand flowers into a pill in the body, containing the purest essence of plants and trees, taking it can clear the meridians and dredging the veins, and the effect is gentle, and mortals who have no cultivation can bear it." Mo Shiqing paused, and said slowly: "The child of the Nangong family's descendant branch of the mutated spiritual root is said to be born with open wisdom, never forget, and has a wonderful understanding, but the meridians of the whole body are blocked and difficult to pass, and he can't practice, and he can't even draw qi into the body if he has the best spiritual root, if there is no accident, he won't live to be twenty years old." ”
