Chapter 257: A Strange Ritual

I saw countless red centipedes crawling out of the old woman's body, and then scattered, at the same time, the red of the old woman's eyes gradually faded, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, listless.

I finally couldn't help but ask my grandmother: "Grandma, what is she doing!" ”

My grandmother gestured to me not to speak yet.

A few minutes later, the middle-aged woman who had been following her grandmother brought an incense burner and carefully placed it on the small platform in the middle of the field, and suddenly a strange fragrance wafted over.

"Xiao Zhen, come here!" Grandma called me in a low voice.

When I walked to my grandmother's side, everyone retreated backwards, until they were more than ten meters back.

What is this for? My doubts were at the extreme, but I couldn't ask.

Looking at the old woman ten meters away, I don't know if she fainted or deliberately, but at this time she was lying on the ground and didn't move.

With my extraordinary hearing, I heard the sound of "balabala" in the grass around me, and at the same time, the snake in my stomach began to roll incessantly.

Gu worms? I exclaimed in my heart.

I first saw a piece of Cheng. The snake, which was the thickness of a human arm, came out of the grass on the south side and climbed onto the platform, an equally fiery red snake, spitting black letters, and then a dozen huge toads, "quacking" and jumping up.

This was just the beginning, followed by lizards, scorpions, and all sorts of bugs, all gathering like a market.

As soon as you look at the appearance of this snake, you know that it is a venomous snake, and the scorpion is a good size. The size of a human hand, the whole body is like being coated with ink, and it is extremely poisonous at first sight.

As for the other bugs, most of them I can't name, they are strange and poisonous.

"Grandma-" Where have I seen so many poisonous insects, I suddenly panicked, and couldn't help shouting.

Grandma whispered to me, "Don't be afraid, no poisonous insect will dare to hurt you, and it won't hurt you!" ”

All the insects slowly crawled to the center of the platform, surrounded the incense burner, and suddenly became like obedient children, lying motionless on the ground, as if sucking the smell of the incense burner.

It was a bizarre scene.

The bugs didn't move, and so did everyone, for three minutes—three minutes that made me feel like half an hour!

I didn't have the leisure to watch the excitement, and the doubts in my heart at that time were very uncomfortable. After three minutes passed, the old lady who was suddenly lying down stood up with a "ahh

Almost at the same time, all the insects also became restless, and after turning around in place a few times, they crawled straight towards the woman. At that time, my heart fluttered.

What is this for! I exclaimed in my heart.

In a few minutes, all the insects were lying on the old woman's body, and at last she could not see the whole body, but only the wriggling snakes, toads, and other kinds of insects.

OMG! Will this man still live? My heart was pounding.

Just when I was at a loss, all the Miao girls knelt down in unison again, and even the grandmother, who was usually high, bent down slightly.

Suddenly, another exclamation came from the pile of insects, and when she heard this exclamation, Grandma seemed to have received some signal, and hurriedly took out a black bottle from her sleeve, walked to the table where the incense burner was placed, and poured a black liquid into it.

What a smart nose! Immediately, I could smell the smell of the incense burner changing, no longer the light fragrance before, but a very pungent smell.

As soon as I smelled this strange smell, I heard the sound of "bang", and I saw that all the insects scattered as if they were fleeing for their lives, and in less than a minute, there was not a single insect on the whole stage.

What's going on? I was shocked.

The bug was gone, but the old woman was still standing, and I was surprised that she was not hurt at all. There was silence for another minute, and the scene was as silent as death......

Suddenly, the old woman exclaimed again, and the red centipedes crawled from all directions and re-entered her body. Seeing this scene, I just felt itchy all over my body.

The old woman's eyes were red again, as if they were about to bleed out. She first glanced at my grandmother and me, then turned to look at the others, then turned and walked under the platform, but she didn't say anything, her steps were still staggering, as if she were about to fall at any moment.

It was only after the old lady had left that there was a whisper of discussion among the crowd.

Grandma also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and whispered to me: There is only one more ceremony left!

What other rituals? I wondered in my heart.

Everyone gathered around again, the older ones took the initiative to lean behind, and the younger ones walked to the front of the crowd, and consciously formed two teams.

The people at the front of the two rows turned out to be Xiaoqing and Xiaobi! And I also noticed that both of these rows of women had had been with me for the night before, which meant that in another six months, they would be the mothers of my daughters.

Xiaoqing walked over first, looked at me with misty eyes, and then suddenly knelt down and kissed my ankle gently. I was blinded all at once, what is this for?

Before I could understand what was going on, Xiaobi also walked over and made almost the same move.

This time I was completely blindfolded, and the two girls knelt in front of me, and they didn't dare to move, so they turned their heads to look at my grandmother.

"Huh! My grandson, they are thanking you for giving them the opportunity to be mothers! I'm thanking you. ”

When I heard it, I almost laughed out loud, what kind of logic is this, in my opinion, they made me cheaper, why should I be grateful! Do as the locals do! I sighed softly and steadied myself.

More than two dozen girls made similar movements one by one, some of them were ankles, some were instep, and some were toes, and the itchy feeling suddenly spread all over their bodies.

When the last girl shyly completed her so-called thanksgiving activity, the grandmother actually laughed.

"O my grandson! It's been almost twenty years since the last time such a ceremony was held, and it was ...... You were still in your mother's belly! ”

Grandma took off the black gauze as she spoke, and the middle-aged woman on the side hurriedly came over and lit it with a torch.

"Grandma, you-"

"Child, today's ceremony has another nature at the same time, that is, grandma's retirement ceremony and your promotion ceremony, from today onwards you will be the real master of this village!"

As soon as Grandma finished speaking, everyone knelt down together and kowtowed three times to me very respectfully.
