Boss Wang and I glanced at each other and saw that something was wrong here.

"Why don't we find another place?" I say.

"No, the car is running out of gas. I forgot about this stubble before. Boss Wang had a bitter face.

I looked at the fuel gauge and there was indeed a little fuel left in the car. Even if you don't live here, you have to find a way to get some oil.

At this moment, Li Zhao walked over from the crowd.

His face was very unsightly, and he was wearing a white dress with a white stripe tied around his head. "What the hell are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry, but the car is out of gas. Where is there a gas station nearby? ”

Many cars are parked in front of many houses in the village, and there may be a place to refuel nearby.

Li Zhao glanced at us and said angrily: "The public sacrifice ceremony will start immediately, how can anyone cheer you on?" ”

"Can you spend the night? Leave tomorrow morning. ”

Li Zhao glared at me, "I have to make inches." He didn't seem to want us to stay, and he was afraid that it would delay the public sacrifice, so he finally pointed to a very well-decorated courtyard and said, "Go to my house, my mother and daughter-in-law are at home." Stay at my house tonight and don't go anywhere, or you will leave the village now." ”

I looked at Boss Wang and Wen Jing, and they both said there was no problem.

Boss Wang drove the car into the courtyard of Li Zhaoshuo, and two women came out. We made it clear that we were coming, and Li Zhao's mother warmly and whispered to us into the house.

Their voices were kept low and their movements as soft as possible. Even if you are not in the square, you are afraid of disturbing something.

The three of us were arranged in the guest room on the second floor, and Li Zhao's mother and daughter-in-law served us dinner.

"You can't fire at home these days, it's all fast food, you can make do with it." Li Zhao's mother whispered.

A few cold dishes, some dry pot helmets.

The three of us ate some and it tasted good.

Li Zhao's mother and daughter-in-law said that they had eaten, and the two sat side by side in the courtyard, facing the open space of the square, tilting their heads slightly, as if waiting for something.

The whole village was as quiet as it had been before a storm.

I was disturbed by the silence, and I quickly finished my meal and went out into the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard is open, and from this direction you can see the square and the theater building.

Wen Jing stood in the courtyard, his face full of seriousness, as if he was waiting for something.

Boss Wang and I were so disturbed and anxious by this solemn and oppressive atmosphere that I even wanted to make some noise to ruin the silence.

It was completely dark.

There were no street lights in the whole village, and none of them had lights on, and all the light sources came from the seven torches.

At eight o'clock, I saw Li Zhao jump on the stage, pick up the drumstick, and hit the drum hard.

The drums that suddenly sounded in the silence were more like thunder, and I was a spirit, and Li Zhao's drums were more like they were going to knock into my heart.

Then the person on the stage moved, and he took a step forward, his arms outstretched, and his body moved.

I think of the great god dancer I saw on TV, also known as the dance of the gods, which is a kind of dance that communicates with heaven and earth.

I usually see it, I think it's an ancient legacy of culture, and it's even appreciated as a dance, but the dance steps of the people on the stage make me feel trembling.

It's like I'm alone in a desolate and empty place, and suddenly I realize my insignificance, and I only have awe in my heart.

The villagers in front of the stage, Li Zhao's mother and daughter-in-law in the courtyard all knelt down, put their hands together on their chests, and stared at the stage with infinite reverence.

There was silence in the village, only the occasional drumbeat echoed through the village.

Boss Wang beside him also knelt down with a pop, with reverence and fear on his face.

After all, we don't know what we're facing, but the people dancing on the stage have a special magic that people can't help but worship. While worshipping, the only remaining reason will produce panic.

I didn't kneel, I staggered as if I was drunk.

The coercion on the stage is like water in the sky, constantly washing towards me. There was a great fear in my heart, and everything in front of me seemed to be shaking constantly. Heaven and earth are alive and want to devour me.

I knew in my heart that as soon as I knelt down and bowed my head like everyone else, these feelings would disappear.

But I didn't kneel.

I kept standing, and Wenjing kept standing. He was as straight as a poplar, and he didn't move. It's not like I'm on a boat.

I don't know how long it took, but the drums suddenly sped up, and the people on stage jumped faster and faster.

The landslide and the destruction of the mountain are nothing more than that.

The people in the audience suddenly erupted into a roar, and everyone fell to the ground.

Boss Wang also roared, and then stood up and was about to go to the stage. was grabbed by Wen Jing. Boss Wang seemed to have lost his mind and pulled Wen Jing's fingers fiercely, but Wen Jing clasped his shoulders tightly, so that Boss Wang couldn't struggle.

The drums beat faster and faster, and the more unsteady I became.

Suddenly, the drumming stopped, and I fell to the ground.

After a long time, the audience dispersed. I held on to the big tree in the yard and gasped, and Boss Wang's soul returned to its place, and I looked around in surprise, with a shocked look on my face.

Others came back satisfied.

The lights came on, and the hustle and bustle returned to the village.

Soon Li Zhao and the village chief entered the courtyard, and the village chief greeted us gently. It was like a dream.

We went back to our guest room and looked at our watch, and it was already past ten o'clock.

"Sleep." Seeing that Boss Wang and I had a stomach problem, Wen Jing lay directly on the bed with his back to the two of us.

As soon as I saw this situation, I refused to communicate, I definitely didn't want to answer, so I didn't ask much, and took out my mobile phone to charge. At the same time, I searched the Internet for information about Nu dance.

But nothing useful.

After turning over for a while, I also fell asleep.

I was woken up by Boss Wang at night.

"Brother, come with me to the toilet."

Boss Wang said.

I'm speechless, such an adult, and claims to have studied with my master for a few years, how can I be more timid than me?

Go to the toilet, as for it?

It just so happened that I felt a little urinating, so I went out with Boss Wang.

After solving the problem, Boss Wang and I went out of the bathroom one after the other. He was in front of me, and suddenly whispered, "Master Wen? What did he do downstairs? ”

I was behind Boss Wang and didn't see anything. Boss Wang has already chased down.

He walked very fast and greeted me when he reached the stairs. But he didn't call Wenjing out of a voice.

I followed him downstairs, because of the weirdness of Lijiaping Village, I guess Wenjing found something before he came out in the middle of the night?

But why didn't he stop me and Boss Wang, or did he find out that Boss Wang and I were missing, so he came out to look for him?

But the light in the toilet is on, so he should be able to see it, right?

I went downstairs in confusion and found that Boss Wang was standing in front of the gate and had already opened the door.

"Didn't you say you should never go out at night?" I grabbed Boss Wang, thinking of the situation I encountered when I went out before, and I still had palpitations.

Boss Wang pointed to the courtyard, a trace of horror flashed on his face, "Look what is that?" Master Wen, what's wrong with him? ”

Hearing that something had happened to Wen Jing, I hurried to see it. Unexpectedly, I was pushed by Boss Wang on my back, so I took two steps forward and stood in the courtyard.
