202 Passion
No matter when Huzi can fool around with you in a proper way, when we are still talking nonsense and ridiculing each other. Out of the crowd came a slightly hunchbacked man with a sheep's head cane in his hand, who was also covered in sackcloth but could be seen to be an old man.
When this man walked up to us, he raised his hands to the sky, and that was the same movement. The people who were kneeling on the ground all stood up in a conscious way, and we were surrounded by the crowd, at a loss.
The old man, who resembled the leader, bowed respectfully to me at ninety degrees, and then waved his hand to the crowd. The crowd moved out of the way for us as if they had received some kind of signal, and the old man made a polite gesture and motioned for us to come with him, and he led the way.
The four of us followed behind him, and there were black people on both sides of the road, and we were a little afraid at this moment, if we really had a conflict with these people just now, even if we were given a well-equipped reinforcement, we might not be able to kill them.
"Yang Xiuyuan, where is he taking us?" Huzi whispered to me, "Are you going to drag us to the execution ground?" ”
"Crow's mouth, don't you talk nonsense, don't we dare to say something good?" Hearing Huzi say this, I was still a little scared in my heart. These people behave so strangely, and it is reasonable for them to do something beyond the norm.
"Gotcha! Get! Get! Maybe they'll invite us to a big meal. What mountain delicacies, what fairy peach and holy fruits, all give my brother a few and put them on the big table, waiting for us to eat! That's fine. "Huzi has a nonsensical blind fantasy.
Everyone saw that this product was unreliable again, so no one paid attention to him, and he said it in a mess. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he shut up all over the place, and under the guidance of the old man, we passed through several streets.
I came to a large square in the center of the ancient city, and a large stone platform more than ten meters high in the center of the square was particularly majestic. The bluestone steps lead directly to the top of the stone platform, and there are more than 300 square meters on the stone platform, which is quite wide. On each side of the stone platform, a large stone pillar carved with birds and animals is erected, which is full of ancient Greek style.
What makes people blink is that a huge rectangular stone table is placed on the stone platform, and there is a sumptuous food on the table. Some unnamed fruits, roasted fragrant unknown barbecue cubes exude an enticing smell on large plates. The vessel contained a drink made from an unknown source, and the aroma wafted into our noses.
"Look! See! See! Dude is not wrong, don't you see this is a misunderstanding, you look at the consciousness of these people, how hospitable, or I say, the people in this place are really simple and generous. Huzi didn't care whether the old man could understand the blind way.
"You turtle son, didn't you just want to die with others, what kind of duck will this pretend?" Huzi is a good man, and he is a saint. completely forgot about the rough behavior he had just done to others, and didn't care whether they prepared it for him or not, without saying a word, he pounced on it, tore off a large piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.
There was only a taste in his mouth, "It's so delicious, why are you three pretending to be polite, hurry up, there are so many delicious things, if you don't eat them, I'll wipe them all out." ”
Looking at the strange people around him, there was no reaction, maybe it was really prepared for us, and a few of us went over to eat the wolf-like tiger. These unnamed fruits, this is the first time I have seen them, they look a little li, but the color is red, and they taste a little dry, but they have a lot of moisture.
There is also a banana-like fruit that has to be peeled off to eat, the flesh is purple, and the taste is a little strange. In short, I don't know any of the fruits here, and the tiger is a fool, whether it is peeled, or not peeled, shelled, or burred, all of them are stuffed into the mouth without treatment.
I'm afraid of foodies, don't get food poisoning or stomach problems or something. For unknown foods, all three of us will eat too much, who knows if these fruits have toxins, and if they will have any reactions.
Although the wine tastes weird, but we are seriously short of water in our bodies, so we don't care so much, and we take the jar and drink over.
The crowd under the stone platform was in groups of more than a dozen around a fire, dancing strangely and looking quite funny, as if they were celebrating something. A few guards on the stone platform looked like people, standing straight around my stone table, as if they were standing guard for us. The old man who led the way danced and gestured to the vast bright moon, as if he was doing some kind of ritual. In short, everything here is so strange.
Looking at the watch in my hand, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and I wondered how energetic these people were at night, as if the whole city was dancing and celebrating happily. "Li Zhen, do you think these people seem to be celebrating something? What a holiday it is? ”
"On the fifteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it seems to be the Great Dragon Boat Festival." In many parts of China, there is only one Dragon Boat Festival, but Zigui has three Dragon Boat Festivals.
The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the first Dragon Boat Festival, which is the Dragon Boat Festival that we have long, May 15 is the big Dragon Boat Festival, and May 25 is the end of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Zigui County is located in the western part of China's Hubei Province, so far away from here? It's impossible to have a big Dragon Boat Festival here?
"Then it's going to be the Dragon Boat Festival, should you also give us a few zongzi to taste?" Huzi was eating, muttering in his mouth.
"If you can't speak, don't scare you." The most taboo thing for people in our line of work is to encounter "zongzi", let alone eat zongzi. Therefore, there is a taboo in the industry of touching gold, and others can eat rice-flavored zongzi full of jujube fragrance during the Dragon Boat Festival. But we can only smell it, but we can't eat it, for fear of making a mistake.
"Do you think these people are worshipping the moon, there is still a tradition of worshipping the moon in many parts of my country." Li Zhen said.
In ancient times, our people had the custom of "autumn twilight and sunset". But the moon festival is usually held on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and today is not, and when I think about it, I can't think of any connection between the 15th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar and the rituals of these weirdos.
"Come on! What are we doing with the ball, in short, let's eat and drink enough, just mix a round belly, what do we do. "Huzi, a realist, only looks at the front of him and never pays attention to the subtleties.
"You just eat you, and when you're full, people will give you a guillotine, and you'll have it! This will be your guillotine. I said to Huzi.
In the past, many prisoners, or those who were about to be executed, would eat a delicious meal before they died. Then he was executed, saying that it was to give the deceased a psychological balance and not cause trouble after death.
"Whew! , You are talking nonsense, buddy, I'm full anyway, whoever wants to take my life, I'll pull him down a few more times to pad his back, and Lao Tzu will play with him slowly on Huangquan Road. Huzi spit out the piece of meat in his mouth, patted the detonator on the stone table, and said viciously.
