There is a saying that I finally lived the life I hated the most.

When Huo Wen was inserting incense on the sacrificial altar now, this was what he was thinking about, he used to hate the leader's tirade the most, but now it has become himself who is talking about it.

However, he didn't really have incense now, because the process of making incense was a bit troublesome, and they didn't have so much spare time to get those things, so they made some thin wooden strips instead.

This kind of wood strip is flammable, and it has a faint fragrance when burned, so it can be used as incense...

After he offered incense in front of the offering, the people in the audience also took out three sticks of incense and inserted them in front of the sacrifice.

Although this incense is not particular, but the quantity of this incense is exquisite, three livestock meals, three teas and five wines; Then presided over by the parents, burn three incense sticks, bow and pray for a good harvest, preferably in the burning of paper, commonly known as sending money and grain.

Of course, in the special period now, a lot of things have been omitted, so that there are only three animals and incense, and they don't have tea and wine paper, but let them bow ... There are few people who can let go of their figures, after all, they are all people who came from socialism, and they are not used to letting them engage in this set.

And this sacrifice is not only for the gods, but also for the ancestors.

Because the ancient people were superstitious, they believed that ghosts and gods could determine the fate of people, so they respected them very much. They divided the ghosts and gods into heavenly gods, earthly spirits, and human ghosts; And human ghosts - their ancestors are the main objects of worship, after all, it is better to pray to God than to ask for their own family.

Everyone knows this, but they can't go back to the graves of their ancestors to worship, so they can only use this method to remember their fathers or grandfathers and other figures.

The entire sacrificial table presented a somewhat serious and sad atmosphere, and even Grandpa Su had a rare sad emotion on his face, he missed his wife.

After all, more than 500,000 people are not a small number, and the sacrifice has been incense for a long time before they reach the next link, eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

This is the process they made in coordination with the customs of most people, and after the worship, they began the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and set the table on the city wall.

But at this time, it was Huo Wen and Su Yi's turn to make trouble, they just bought the ingredients, but the Chinese New Year's Eve meal didn't even turn on the fire, and if you want to eat, you have to row for at least half an hour, it feels a little unsocial, people are eating before you start cooking...

But what can I do, Huo Wen usually cooks rice, Su Yi is a cooking idiot at all, and it is a waste of ingredients for her to cook. The two of them were well prepared, but they didn't expect the current situation.

Huo Wen and Su Yi originally wanted to go back to the dormitory, because they thought that Brother Crow would definitely help them get the ingredients back to the dormitory, but after the sacrifice, they saw Brother Crow flying towards them.

Huo Wen thought that Brother Crow was coming to him to ask for dead pork, so he refused: "Crow, I have to give you the meat of the Beast King you want in a few days, and I can give it to you when the sacrifice is over." ”

"It's not about this, big brother, the eldest sister of the phoenix has something to call you, and it's on the city wall."

"What's the matter?" Huo Wen said this, but he was also ready to leave, after a series of things, Phoenix was not as naughty and jumpy as when she first met, so it was definitely not a trivial matter for her to find Huo Wen at this juncture.

Brother Raven didn't answer: "Anyway, you can go over first." ”

"Oh well... By the way, Raven, where did you take our ingredients? We'll be preparing a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner later. ”

"This, it's also on the city wall, big brother, you just go over."

Huo Wen had no choice but to nod, and took Su Yi and Xiao Jing to follow Brother Crow towards the city wall.

With doubts in their hearts, the three of them and one bird came to the city wall, and there were two rows of tables on both sides, most of which were seated in families or small teams.

Seriously, the odds of a family still being together in these last days... It's too small.

Take Pan Xiaohua as an example, originally his father worked in Foshan, it is difficult to say whether he is dead or alive, and the only family member who accompanies him, his mother also died in a beast tide, which is the epitome of most families.

Looking at these people, most of whom are obviously not family members, but they get along more harmoniously than family members, Huo Wen seems to have something in his heart that seems to be touched, as if he blames himself...

But what is it to blame yourself? Blaming yourself for not stopping this catastrophe of the invasion of alien beasts?

Huo Wen stood in place, Su Yi and Xiao Jing both noticed his strange appearance, Xiao Jing put the lantern in front of Huo Wen and dangled it, Huo Wen's attention finally returned, and then he seemed to hear someone calling him, so he turned his head to look over.

"Huo Wen, this way!"

Shen Yang held a pair of chopsticks in his left hand and beckoned to Huo Wen, while his right hand was tied with a triangular cloth and hung on his chest.

And Huo Wen also saw that there were not only Zhang Lingzhi and Zhang Lingyu on the table in Shenyang, but even Grandpa Su and Phoenix Panda were also...

"Oh, here we are."

Huo Wen walked over when he saw Grandpa Su, but Xiao Jing saw Zhang Lingzhi and Lingyu, and as soon as the three children met, they found three seats to sit next to each other, and then chatted happily.

The content of the conversation was nothing more than that they didn't expect to be able to sit together and eat Chinese New Year's Eve or something, anyway, Huo Wen's focus was not here, but looked at Shen Yang.

Holding Su Yi's hand and sitting down, Huo Wen said hello to his grandfather before asking Shen Yang, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why am I here, it's a bit troublesome..."Shen Yang put down his chopsticks: "I..."

"He's the chef for this meal, and I've invited him."

"Grandpa? Why? ”

Huo Wen asked his grandfather, he really couldn't figure it out, the feud between him and Shen Yang was not a deep feud in the sea of blood, but it was definitely incompatible.

Grandpa Su should know about this matter.

But why, he still called Shen Yang, and it was still at this important Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Regarding this question, Grandpa Su first drank a sip of water, and then opened his mouth to answer Huo Wen: "Because he saved Su Yi and Xiao Jing, and he also contributed to Yangcheng, I have to invite him to a meal." ”

"Now it's time to lick your face, invite someone to eat, and ask someone else to cook, you have to thank someone, Huo Wen."

"Is this like this, I don't even know, then Shenyang thank you."

Huo Wen gave Shen Yang an arch salute, the kind where his right hand wrapped around his left fist.

Hearing the title of Huo Wen, Huo Wen felt that something was wrong, under normal circumstances, Grandpa Su would call him Xiaowen.

"You're welcome, what I did before was a bit excessive, and it can be regarded as a compensation for the previous thing."

Shen Yang put a piece of meat into Zhang Lingzhi's bowl, and Huo Wen and Su Yi Xiaojing also picked up the dishes and chopsticks to start this Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

The phoenix on the side was also eating, but it was much more elegant than the panda next to him, and the dignified national treasure was sitting on the ground like this, but what he was holding in his hand was not the bamboo in the zoo, but pieces of cooked meat.

The atmosphere is actually okay in general, three children are making noise, a few adults are talking and laughing, there are a few "little pets" next to them, and the big fish in the middle.

Its fish belly has long been hollowed out, leaving only the head and tail of the fish, implying that there is a head and a tail, and there is more than every year.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, most people began to pack their things and then went back to the dormitory to rest, and Su Yi and Huo Wen were no exception.

Shen Yang stood up and wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by Huo Wen: "You helped us cook, let me do these things, you and Lingzhi and they go back to rest." ”

Huo Wen looked at Zhang Lingzhi, the ID card that looked very similar to her Huo Wen remembered that it might be her mother, but the corpse with vegetables and plastic bags poured next to him told Huo Wen that the child was also an orphan like himself.

Zhang Lingzhi looked at Huo Wen with some pity, she didn't understand what it meant when she was young, she only knew that this person felt a little uncomfortable looking at her, so she pulled Zhang Lingyu and Shen Yang away.

Huo Wen and Su Yi began to clean up the leftovers, and the way to clean them up was very simple, they just threw them directly to a place under the city wall, and someone would come over to burn them after they were piled up.

And now the flame is getting easier and easier to ignite, I don't know if it's because of the dry weather or what, maybe it's because the microorganisms have evolved together, in short, the speed at which food decays has also become faster, and there are some things in this world that humans can't control.

Alien beasts, human beings can also use force to fight, but the changes in microorganisms and oxygen content, the current human beings are powerless.

After cleaning up, after the phoenix and other beasts said to Huo Wen, they each returned to their respective residences, and Yangcheng prepared a good residence for these meritorious and powerful beasts, but it was outside the city.

It's still early, but at six or seven o'clock in the evening, the next thing to do is to paste the Spring Festival couplets.

Because during the day, most people either dig cellars, or go out to hunt or do some things, in short, they just don't have time, and only at night can they squeeze out time to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Although they didn't have time to make paper, they found some couplets in several warehouses, which were relatively intact and well wrapped in nylon bags.

There are a lot of couplets, basically hundreds of thousands of pairs are not a problem, enough for all of them to post in Yangcheng.

It may be that those merchants are unsalable and can't sell it, so they hoarded it, so they let them pick up such a bargain, should it be... Luckily, they can't sell it.

Anyway, there are couplets, and as for how to paste them, the eight immortals have crossed the sea, and each has shown its magical powers.

Some of them directly get nails to nail to the wall.,Some will use the ability of Miki to get some slime to stick on.,When you paste it, you still play around.,It's a rare pleasure to get the slime on others to play.。

Huo Wen is the latter, but when he posted the couplet, Grandpa Su was next to him, so he didn't make a fuss.

Also, a strange question came to mind recently: if a blind man dreams, can he see things in his dreams?
