After listening to what Xiao Gu'er said, Chen Zhi was shocked, the matter of the photo was something he didn't expect. During this time, he has observed Xiao Gu'er, this person is not simple, he looks like a silent rural baby, but in fact, he is the kind of person who has a very firm belief, and his mental age seems to be much higher than his actual age, and he will not easily run the train with his mouth full.

If it is really as Xiao Gu'er said, this living fox existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China, then she is at least 200 years old now, which does not meet the limit of human lifespan, unless, she really has a divine body, or she is Bai Qian herself.

Bai Qian, an ancient god, has never died, and will always live in this hidden mountain village in human form? Thinking of Bai Qian, Chen Zhi had some primitive uneasiness hidden in his heart, he still remembered the fear that he had transferred into the double illusion at the beginning, the illusion was so powerful, and people were like ants in it.

Chen Zhizheng was talking to Xiao Gu when he saw a man and a woman walking in.

The man is in his twenties, a typical mountain man, with a large waist and thick waist, thick eyebrows and eyes, and a dark and strong appearance. The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she wore a black cotton jacket made of rough cloth, which was very old, shiny and shiny, and some cotton wool flew out of the corners of her clothes. The girl has a pink flower tied on her head, her skin is black, there are a few freckles on her goose egg face, her eyes are red, and she looks at Chen Zhi timidly?

"You're from outside, aren't you? Which of you is in charge? The girl asked.

After listening to the word "master", Qin Yueyang was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Chen Zhi with an expressionless face.

The girl immediately asked Chen Zhi, "You are in charge?" My name is Spring Flower, what's your name? ”

Chen Zhi had just taken on the position of head of the house, and he didn't know how to answer the girl's question. I saw Ye Zi come out of the back kitchen, wiped his hands in the apron, and said: "Spring flowers, why are you here, as long as we come to our village, you can't leave behind, why are you running here?" ”

"No, no," the girl hurriedly explained to Ye Zi, "It was my father who asked me to come over and ask you, how are you prepared for the fox sacrifice ceremony at night, but what is missing?"

Fat Wei's ears were sharp, and as soon as he heard the words "Fox Sacrifice Ceremony", he suddenly rushed to the hall and asked, "What did you just say about the Fox Sacrifice Ceremony?" Let's also take a look at the excitement? I love to join in the fun. ”

The man next to Chunhua'er glared at Chunhua'er fiercely, and said, "In front of the outsiders, don't talk nonsense, you and Ye Zi go into the house to discuss something." ”

Seeing that Ye Zi ignored Fat Wei, he said to Chunhua'er: "Tell your father, there is nothing missing here, you don't have to ask again."

Ye Zi said that, he turned to the man and said: "Erkui, Chunhua'er is your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, you look at her, don't run around, and be embarrassed in front of outsiders." ”

"Humph! It's just my father's mother's kiss, and I don't accept it", the swarthy man named Erkui said disdainfully.

Fat Wei seemed to be interested, and asked Ye Zi with a dead face: "Little sister, what kind of celebration is it at night?" I want to see it too, you let me go! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep all night. ”

Ye Zi was so worn out by him that he couldn't do anything, and said, "What a fox sacrifice ceremony!" The people in this village are very superstitious, and they really think that my great-grandmother is the blood of the fox fairy. At this time of year, the people of the village will make a sacrifice in the ancestral hall, dance the dance to invite the gods, and pay homage to the enshrined fox fairy. When the time comes, my great-grandmother will come out to meet people, and in the form of drawing lots, send a charm to the family of the girl in the village, and the girl will be called the priestess of the fox fairy this year, and she will usually marry a good family. It's nothing more than a show by the villagers, and it's all a trick to deceive people. Ye Zi said helplessly.

"Sister Ye, don't say that", Chunhua'er seemed a little excited after listening to Ye Zi's words, and said: "The reason why you say this is because you don't know your great-grandmother's power, the fox fairy really lives in the fox hole, my dad said, our village depends on her..."

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me" The man next to him scolded Chunhuaer loudly, pulled and pulled, and dragged Chunhuaer out.

Ye Zi seemed to be very dissatisfied with Chunhua'er, pouting and saying: "I talk about it every day, and the people in this village are stupid, they all believe in this kind of thing, I must leave this village." ”

After that, he said to Fat Wei: "You guys eat quickly!" Leave the village early in a while. Outsiders are not allowed to participate in the celebration. ”

After speaking, he entered the kitchen, and Fat Wei continued to go in to help, playing tricks with Yezi.

The ghost knife held the knife and pulled a dead man's face against the wall, Qin Yueyang seemed to be a little uncomfortable, leaning against the wall, his face pale. Chen Zhi lit a cigarette, walked out of the house, and walked around the village. He looked at this village deep in the mountains, and did not feel the warmth and comfort that the northeastern countryside should have, but only felt a depressing atmosphere shrouded in superstition.

Chen Zhi was smoking a cigarette in a daze, when someone shouted behind him, "Stranger, feed the stranger."

Chen Zhi looked back, behind the firewood stack at the edge of the village, someone was shouting at him with half of his head exposed, Chen Zhi took a closer look, it was the spring flower he saw just now. She was hiding behind the stack of firewood, desperately waving her hands to him.

Chen Zhi didn't know what she wanted to do, so he walked over and said to Chun Hua'er, "What's the matter?" ”

Unexpectedly, Chun Hua'er didn't say a word, grabbed Chen Zhi's arm and dragged him into the firewood stack. This girl in the mountains has a lot of strength, Chen Zhi staggered in, and felt very puzzled, thinking that this girl in the mountains is really savage, and she dragged people into the firewood stack in broad daylight?

Chunhua'er squatted in the firewood stack, her hands on her knees, her eyes were red and red, and her head was trembling like a nervous disorder. She first motioned for Chen Zhi to squat down and not speak, then looked left and right and whispered, "Stranger, can you take me out of the mountain quickly?" I have a lot of money, really, I can give you a lot of money. ”

"You give me money?" Chen Zhi looked at it suspiciously, and the tattered rural girl in front of him was wearing tatters. I think it's funny. I thought to myself, "What money can you give me?" 100 yuan is enough for you to feel distressed for more than half a year.

Unexpectedly, Chun Hua'er was very excited, and pounced, grabbed Chen Zhi's arm tightly with both hands, and cut her fingernails into Chen Zhi's flesh. Her eyes were full of horror, her face became a little deformed, and he said to Chen Zhi excitedly: "You must find a way to take me out and save me." My mother desperately told me that this year is the tenth year, and they want to take me to sacrifice to the gods. ”

As soon as she said this, she heard someone outside shouting Chunhua'er's name loudly, it was the Erkui who was looking for her just now. Chun Hua'er shuddered with fright, her neck was closed, and she whispered to Chen Zhi: "I have to go, when the sun sets, we will see you here, as long as you can take me out, I can give you as much money as you want." After saying that, he got out of the firewood stack.

Chen Zhi was puzzled, watched Chunhua'er leave, and got out himself. returned to Yezi's house, and after entering, he saw that the meal had been prepared, and a group of people were waiting for him to eat. Qin Yueyang wiped the wound with alcohol on the kang herself, and the skin of her feet was worn out.

Chen Zhi thought for a while, walked over, sat next to the leaf and asked tentatively. "I met the spring flowers outside again just now, and I heard that your night fox festival is quite big, huh?

Ye Zi sneered after hearing this, and said, "Did she tell you to take her out of the village quickly, she is going to be taken to worship the gods?" ”

"Hmm", Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Ye Zi said helplessly, "These people are all superstitious and crazy. They actually thought from the bottom of their bones that the fox fairy really existed. I think that the girl chosen by my great-grandmother will be sent to the fox hole to sacrifice to the fox fairy, but in fact, my great-grandmother has only lived a little longer, how can she be so godly?

Since Chunhua'er won the rune paper last year, she was panicked, saying that she was going to worship the gods, and as long as a foreigner came, she would beg someone to take her away. In fact, this festival is held every year in our village, and it is just a traditional event. The girl who won the rune paper just has the status of a priestess, and she is alive and well. The sacrifice to the fox fairy is just some pig's head and something like that, how can it be sacrificed to a living person? It's also too scary. ”

"Have you ever seen a girl who was a priestess?" Hearing this, Chen Zhi suddenly interrupted Ye Zi and asked.

"Of course I have seen it, many of them have married to other villages, and I saw one a few days ago," Ye Zi said affirmatively.

"Then why don't you let people from other villages spend the night here?" , Chen Zhi stared at Ye Zi and continued to ask.

"Why didn't anyone from the other village spend the night here? , often have friends from outside come to my great-grandmother," Ye Zi said, and then said, "The fox festival at night is an activity of the people of our village. We hate some people from other villages, who come here to take pictures and interviews, disturb us, and there are many liars, so we don't want to associate with outsiders. ”

"Oh", Chen Zhi observed Ye Zi's face and didn't speak again.

The game in the mountains is very sweet, and the leaves are well crafted. After eating, Chen Zhi wanted to stay and see the appearance of the fox fairy mother, but Ye Zi refused. Ye Zi said that because there was a fox sacrifice ceremony today, her great-grandmother stayed in the ancestral hall all day and could not come out, so she asked them to leave the village as soon as possible before dark.

Fat Wei was very good with Ye Zi in this day, Ye Zi liked his smartphone very much, Fat Wei generously gave it to her, and promised her to take her to the city in a few days.

After dinner, Fat Wei said to Chen Zhi: "I talk to Ye Zi all day, she doesn't know anything, she doesn't lie." We'll have to go see tonight's memorial, and this memorial must be a bit of a nuisance.

Before leaving, Chen Zhixian went to the firewood stack to find Chunhuaer as promised, but he didn't see any trace of her.

Some village names came and urged them to go

Passing by the ancestral hall, I saw Chun Hua'er sitting there, not knowing Chen Zhi

The little bone broke his hand, and his whole body began to train to rise high, and he proposed to break his head and raise it, and became a different face. He turned it all over his clothes, and there was a leak of it, a shabby blue.
