Chapter 335: Sacrifice
The black cat landed on a rockery, hunched over and looked at Wei Qingqing condescendingly, with a pair of eyes glowing faintly green in the night.
Wei Qingqing was terrified when she saw it, and a ridiculous thought appeared in her heart - it seemed that someone was spying on her every move through those green cat eyes!
Wei Qingqing took a deep breath, put aside the ridiculous thought in her heart, and after regaining her composure, she slowly walked past the black cat and continued to walk towards the depths of the bamboo forest without looking back!
Who would have thought that the black cat jumped off the rockery gently, wagging its tail and following behind Wei Qingqing unhurriedly, as if following and watching......
Wei Qingqing frowned lightly and slowly stopped.
Who would have thought that the black cat would stop following her, and I don't know if it was instinct or really able to psychic!
Wei Qingqing didn't like to be suspicious of a cat, so she simply turned around and faced it, looking at it quietly without saying a word......
A man and a cat confronted each other like this, and they seemed to weigh each other's weights......
At this moment, Wei Qingqing suddenly exerted his strength and pounced on it, intending to catch the black cat with lightning speed and teach it a hard lesson!
"Meow!" The black cat let out a terrible sound like a child's cry, and its black body jumped lightly to avoid Wei Qingqing's hand, and flexibly drilled under Wei Qingqing's armpit and jumped onto the bushes!
It seems to really have spirituality, and it can feel that Wei Qingqing is threatening to it, and it doesn't dare to continue to confront Wei Qingqing, so it flicks its tail and runs all the way to the depths of the bamboo forest, but after a while, it disappears without a trace!
Wei Qingqing clapped her hands with satisfaction, straightened her clothes again, and then continued to walk into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Who thought that she had only taken two steps, and a person suddenly came to her in the depths of the bamboo forest, and he walked up to her to block her way, "Sister Qingqing, please stay." ”
Wei Qingqing was slightly surprised, the person who came was Wei Junjun, the second girl of Wei.
"I'm too full to go shopping at night, so I walk around late at night to eat," Wei Qingqing first explained the reason why he appeared in the bamboo forest, and then asked Wei Junjun, "Why are you here late at night?" ”
Wei Qingqing's words were faintly wary and seemingly hostile, but Wei Junjun didn't seem to notice it, and still had a gentle smile on his face.
She patiently explained to Wei Qingqing: "My aunt is a Miao person, although she married to Middle Earth, she still maintains some Miao customs - Miao people will prepare a slaughtered pig, chicken, and sheep to worship at all times on the night of the Yulan Festival, and sincerely burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral shrine, first worship the ancestors and then worship the Gu god. ”
Wei Junjun told Wei Qingqing that every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Miao people have to make a grand sacrifice to the Gu gods.
This festival lasts for three days, i.e., the fifth, sixth, and seventh days of the first month.
During these three days, the Miao people slaughtered a pig, a chicken, and a sheep every day, and when the stars looked at the sky at night, they respectfully put the livestock on the offering table, bowed their heads, and prayed for the protection of the ancestral gods and Gu gods.
After Wei Junjun introduced the customs of the Miao people, a slight apology appeared on his face, "There is a small ancestral hall in the depths of the bamboo forest, which is the place where my aunt worships the Gu god, and others can't easily get close, otherwise it is likely to accidentally cause trouble, so I ask you to stay." ”
Wei Qingqing was a little surprised that Wei Junjun was blunt about the fact that Mrs. Wei was a Miao person, and she was even more surprised that she actually confessed to the customs of the Miao people, as if she was not afraid that she would be on guard in the future.
Since Wei Junjun didn't hide it, there was no need for her to hide it anymore and ask directly: "The reason why there are faint traces of blood in the Wei ancestral hall, and the reason why there is a strong smell of blood in the depths of this bamboo forest, is because of those freshly slaughtered livestock?" ”
"Exactly." Wei Junjun's face was even more apologetic, and he said with some embarrassment: "I thought that no one would go to the ancestral hall at night, so I wanted to wait for my aunt to finish the sacrifice and then clean up the ancestral hall, who would have thought that you accidentally went to the ancestral hall and found it all the way here." ”
"When I was walking around to eat, I happened to walk to the ancestral hall, so I wanted to go in and worship my father and mother...... Wei Qingqing explained.
"You haven't been home for a long time, you should pay a good worship to them." Wei Junjun said softly, and bluntly urged Wei Qingqing to leave the small bamboo forest quickly, "You should leave here quickly and go back to the secluded pavilion!" ”
"You also know that my aunt doesn't like to see you, if she finds out that you are here, I'm afraid it will be bad!" Wei Junjun paused as he spoke, and mentioned the black cat, "Did you encounter a black cloud before?" It's a black cat with a pitch-black body and a lot of spirituality. ”
Wei Qingqing nodded and said, "I met a black cat, and it followed me all the time, and then I scared it away." ”
"That's my aunt's cat, and I have some psychic skills," Wei Junjun's expression gradually became anxious, "As soon as the black cloud returns to my aunt, my aunt will know that someone has broken into the small bamboo forest...... You'd better go! ”
The Miao people have always been very mysterious, and the Miao people have always been mysterious, and the Miao people who raise Gu are even more evil - does Gu Yun's death confirm the lethality of Gu insects?
Wei Qingqing witnessed the tragic situation after Gu Yun's death, so she naturally had to be more wary of the Miao people...... Before she figured out the details and intentions of Mrs. Wei, she really didn't dare to stay!
She couldn't tell whether Wei Junjun was hypocritical or false for a while, but she still politely thanked Wei Junjun for reminding her, and then hurriedly left the small bamboo forest and ran all the way back to the secluded pavilion.
After Wei Junjun saw Wei Qingqing's figure completely disappear into the small bamboo forest, he breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
She had only walked a few steps when she saw Old Lady Wei walking towards her with a gloomy face with a black cloud in her arms.
"A-Niang, is the sacrifice completed?" Wei Junjun stabilized his mind and greeted him as if nothing had happened.
Old Lady Wei didn't pay attention to Wei Junjun, she only looked out of the bamboo forest with a gloomy face and cold eyes, and her dry and hoarse voice seemed to have been smoked, "Heiyun said that someone broke into the small bamboo forest?" Who is so daring? ”
Wei Junjun explained with a smile: "It's a drunken mother-in-law who got lost, and I have sent her away." ”
Old Lady Wei didn't say a word, she only glanced at Wei Junjun with a heavy gaze, and her hand gently stroked Heiyun's body.
Wei Junjun was a little weak by her, but she still stubbornly continued to cover up for Wei Qingqing, "A-Niang, can the ceremony go well?" But what else do you need to prepare? ”
"Well, it was done." Old Lady Wei finally spoke, turned around and walked slowly towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
