Yu Nian suddenly turned around with interest and asked me, "Do you want to go and see the bull?" ”

Naturally, I agreed, but Tusuo was not interested, saying that he was not interested in that thing, but in the end he was dragged away by me and Lao Meng.

The backyard of the Yu family is a small garden, and when you go out from the crescent gate, you can smell a distinct smell of livestock.

In the southernmost part is a stable, in which two horses, one black and one brown, are in good shape, well-proportioned, and shiny coat. Even a layman like me, who doesn't know how to look at horses, can tell that these two horses are worth a lot of money.

Next to the stables was obviously a newly built iron fence gate, and the steel barns were much thicker than the stables.

Inside were two black bulls, their horns long and bent over their heads, and their limbs well-developed and looked very strong.

Yu Nian first walked over and touched the brown horse, then took out a handful of grass from the hay pile next to him, and said to me, "Stay away from that bull, I don't care if I hurt you." ”

The hand I had just stretched out was retracted by Yu Nian's reminder.

The bull looked at me, snorting hot air from his nose.

I asked Yu Nian curiously, "What's the use of these two cows?" ”

Yu Nian said to me while feeding the horses in his hand: "Every thirteenth year, the Guzang Festival, the village has to choose a family to start raising the Gu cattle two years in advance. The festival lasts for three days, and the first day is a contest between the two cows. After breakfast on the first day, the young men and women of Miao Village dressed up and entered the bullring to watch the bull fight. The next morning, among the bulls who participated in the fight, they slaughtered the one that won the competition, and offered their entrails to the heavens and the earth, the ancestors, and prayed for a good harvest of grains, prosperity of the six animals, and peace of the place. ”

This format is really weird, and the one who wins has to be slaughtered. If these two cows could understand human speech, would they have harmed themselves at the beginning of tomorrow's game?

I looked at the two inside, "Then tomorrow you two will work hard and try to lose both." ”

Lao Meng asked, "What about the one that lost?" ”

"Those who lose are only weak, and they are not worthy of sacrificing their ancestors."

After a walk around the backyard, it was getting late outside, and Yu Nian took us back to our accommodation to rest.

The guest room is upstairs in Yu Nian's room, the first floor is the living room, the second floor is Azu and Yu Nian's room, and the third floor is left for us.

There are many Yu families, but most of them are retinues and servants, and the real owners of this room are only Yu Nian and Azu.

The room we stayed in opened from the balcony and there was a long corridor. There are rattan tables and rattan chairs on the promenade, which is convenient for people to sit and drink tea.

I was so quiet that I couldn't sleep for a while, so I put on my clothes and pants and planned to go out for a walk.

When he walked to the door of the ancestral hall, he found that Yu Nian was kneeling inside and looking at the ancestral tablet in a daze.

I subconsciously stepped in, "I don't sleep at night, why are you here?" ”

Yu Nian came back to his senses when he heard my voice, stood up and said, "You didn't sleep either." ”

"I can't sleep in a new environment, what's the matter with you, aren't you sleepy?"

Yu Nian took out a box of matches from under the table, wiped the candle in front of the tablet, "Well, I haven't been back for a long time, I want to stay in the ancestral hall for a while." ”

Just after the candle was lit, the flame was tilted and extinguished.

Yu Nian felt strange, and ignited it again, and the ending was still the same extinguished. And at this moment, the incense that was still burning slowly was neatly broken, and the burning part fell to the ground.

Yu Nian thought for a while and said to me, "You go out of the ancestral hall." ”

I was puzzled, but I did it. But as soon as I stepped out of the door of the ancestral hall with my left foot, the candle was rekindled, which surprised me greatly.

This Yu family is already so hateful? Even when I enter the ancestral hall, the candle will be extinguished?

Soon, the candles and incense were rekindled, and Yu Nian closed the door of the ancestral hall after he came out.

I followed her and asked, "What's going on?" What is the festival between your family and our surname Xiao? ”

"I don't know very well, anyway, since I was a child, Azu warned me to stay away from people with the surname Xiao, especially men with the surname Xiao."

I was puzzled, "What happened to our man surnamed Xiao?" Although my grandfather is unreliable, my father is unreliable, but I am not like them. ”

"It's not reliable to inherit this thing, you still pick it out."

I walked with Yu Nian, lowered my head and asked her, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not reliable, I've been with you for so long, why didn't I fight to save you?" ”

Yu Nian turned his head and was about to retort, but he didn't realize that he was so close to me, and the tip of his nose almost touched my chin.

Her breath spread evenly across my neck, tickling the person. The distance between us was less than two centimeters, and my mouth was faster than my brain, so I leaned in and kissed it without thinking.

Yu Nian was stunned by my pecking, and I hurriedly laughed and ran away. She reacted at this point, quickly caught up with me, jumped on tiptoe and kicked me in the back, kicking me like a.

She rode on my back, locked my neck, and forced me to apologize.

My face was flushed and I slapped the ground hard. Why is other people's love sweet, I can't kiss it, I can't hold hands, and I have to risk being beaten to death every day.

"What are you doing?" Azu didn't know when he came to us, looking at us with a cold face.

Yu Nian hurriedly let go of me, "It's nothing, Azu, I can't sleep, go to the ancestral hall to order incense." ”

Azu glanced at me and said to Yu Nian, "Go back and rest early, there are still a lot of preparations to be made tomorrow." ”

Yu Nian agreed very obediently, and then looked back at me angrily.

I kissed and was beaten, but I didn't feel a loss, so I went back to sleep satisfied.

In the next few days, it was rare to see Yu Nian's figure. She has been busy going in and out for the Tibetan Festival, preparing red cloths, firecrackers, wine and meat and other items.

The three of us are occasionally conscripted as laborers, moving things and doing some manual work.

Finally, on the first day of the Guzang Festival, I thought I would enjoy the energy-saving, but early in the morning, the sound of killing pigs came downstairs. It was miserable and hoarse, and it was difficult to hear it.

A few of us got dressed and went downstairs sleepily, and found that it was not yet dawn outside, and there were already many people in the backyard.

Two strong young men grabbed the pig's feet and hung it up.

I glanced at the time, three o'clock in the morning. The courtyard of the Yu family was crowded with people, and the torches were bright.

A few people stepped forward to lift the pig up and leave. A large group of people followed behind with torches, and there were still people left at the door of the Yu family to light firecrackers after we went out.

The pigs were carried all the way to the river, where a thick wooden stake was tied together to form an X-shape, and the ends were buried deep in the ground.

I saw that the pig was pushed and pulled by a large group of people, and the pig's head was placed on the X-shape, and one of the people in the crowd held an axe, and struck several axes on the pig's head, and the pig died immediately without a word.

Every time he smashed the pig's head, Lao Meng's head shrank back.

"What's the matter, hit it and your head hurts?"

"Fuck off." Lao Meng was scared again, and he couldn't control himself from watching.

Then the man who killed the pig hurriedly pulled out the tongue of the ox and inserted the fine wood that had been prepared for sharpening into the middle of the tongue.

I didn't understand the reason for this, but the people next to me said that this was because the pig died and went to the underworld, and the Lord of Yama asked how it died, and after it had no tongue, it couldn't tell what happened in the yang world. After all, killing is a sin, even if it is to worship ancestors.

After the pig was killed, the pig was not scalded with hot water, but the pig skin was burned with straw, and the scene of the pig was as tragic as the ancient battlefield.

But what is inopportune is that there is a very good smell of barbecue, thinking of the pig that died tragically just now, I quickly apologized in my heart, saying that I didn't mean it.

Yu Nian came out at this time, glanced at the pig that had been solved, waved his knife and cut off his head, and ordered someone to send it to the ancestral hall.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers sounded again, and the crowd consciously divided into two teams and walked towards the north of the stockade.

According to the process learned before, when the sacrifice is on the table, it means that the Guzang Festival has officially begun, and the first item should be to watch the duel between the two bulls.

The scene of the bull duel was much more brutal than that of any Spanish bullfight, and the bull whose combat strength was clearly inferior was completely wounded by the other.

I thought that after winning or losing, the game could be over, but I never expected that the rule of bullfighting is to count after one side is dead.

In the end, one of the bulls was lifted up by the other, and the horns pierced the chin with the horns of the bulls, and the crowd of onlookers burst into fierce applause.

At this moment, the horn sounded, and Yu Nian walked into the bullring with the ancient knife with the cinnabar handle in hand.

The people in the stockade began to boil with excitement, applauding and whistling towards Yu Nian.

My heart is in my throat, what are you doing at this time? That bull seems to be crazy, what if he kills his red eyes and hurts Yu Nian? As I expected, the moment the bull saw Yu Nian, his breath was short, his nostrils kept blowing heavily, and his left hoof kept rubbing on the ground, and he was about to rush over in the next second.

But it didn't give me enough time to worry, and Yu Nian jumped up on the spot when the bull rushed over in the next second, jumped on the back of the cow and fell with a knife in his hand, cutting off the bull's head at once.

The bull, who was still very fierce before, was simply vulnerable in Yu Nian's hands, and fell to the ground in response.

Twelve girls came out from behind, each with different knives in their hands, separating the limbs and internal organs of the bull on the ground, preparing for the next sacrifice.

Yu Nian's face was splashed with blood, and he raised his hand to gently wipe it away.

Lao Meng looked at everything that happened in front of him in a daze, and said to me, "It's too wild, this woman is too wild." Xiao Ding, I am against this family business. ”

My eyes were already attracted by Yu Nian, and I watched her every movement intently, muttering, "Objection is invalid." ”
