Chapter 115: The Night Tour of the 15th of July

There were terrible sounds coming from the Black Wind Village, shouts of killing and cries for help one after another, and both men and women quickly fell into this terrible dispute.

All of a sudden, the once beautiful Crescent Mountain has become a veritable purgatory on earth.

In the Black Cloud Village, the second boss and the big boss started a fight to the death.

On weekdays, Xue Hu, the second master, is very popular, and when the big boss targets the big boss who has just brought people back to the village, the struggle between the two factions in the Black Wind Village is irreversible.

Black Wind Village is no longer Black Wind Village, and the nightmarish place will finally come to an end. Although there was a bloody slaughter, all the sins of the past were buried under the dust.

Of course, in the process of the conflict between the two factions, there were a few people who tried to escape from Heifeng Village in vain, and as soon as they went out, they were ambushed by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court guarding at the foot of the mountain.

Between the fights and killings, there will inevitably be people who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, and after a while, the Black Wind Village will become a sea of fire.

Maybe it's the officers and soldiers, or maybe it's the people of Heifeng Village itself. In short, this place, which resembles a military camp, has become a sea of fire.

It had been three days since Zhu Hongyu got the news of Black Wind Village.

Lu Mingci took people to do some aftermath work, and after dealing with all this, he reported the good news to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu didn't see such a scene of shouting and killing, and she didn't feel sorry. It's scary enough to spend time with dead bodies and sick people every day.

The matter of Heifeng Village has just passed, and the good news on the side of the school has come one after another.

The number of patients has decreased dramatically, and although there are still people who pass away every day, it is considered a normal and controllable value. The happiest thing is that everyone with a family has returned home, and the military tent in a huge school field has gradually decreased, and the number of patients living in the school field is no more than 100 a day.

In such a relaxed environment, Zhu Hongyu finally couldn't hold back her thoughts of shopping, and she finally had the opportunity to go shopping on the street!

One night, Zhu Hongyu ate the food sent by the room and rested for a while.

He took the broken silver, which he had not used, and turned and walked out of the bedroom door.

Coincidentally, at this point, Runye took a fan to go out to enjoy the cool. Because of the heat, Jiang Jaeyu sent a change of clothes to Runye to wear, but Runye actually didn't like to wear a robe often, so he always had to hold a shelf, which was very uncomfortable.

Zhu Hongyu didn't take two steps out of the door, and was directly stopped by Runye, and Zhu Hongyu heard Runye's voice and hurriedly snorted.

"Run, Runye, why don't you read and rest after eating?"

Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu's face as a thief, and wanted to laugh. Zhu Hongyu also noticed that Runye was wearing Jiang Jaeyu's clothes today, and he didn't have the same Taoist robe that had not changed for thousands of years, so he was much closer.

"It's so hot, don't let me come out to cool off?"

Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, where did she dare not let him come out to enjoy the cold, after Du Yuexiao left yesterday, this moist night was like beating chicken blood, this shopping, that look.

It turned out that Du Yuexiao was here, and Runye didn't dare to put down his shelf, otherwise it would be easy to be ridiculed and teased by this guy.

"It's been cool today, and there's a little cool breeze. That's why I said go out and take a walk. I heard that the night market in Yunmeng Town is very lively, so I also bought some of my favorite things. ”

When Runye heard that Zhu Hongyu was going to visit the night market, she really had a heart to kill. How big is this girl's mind, not to mention what day it is, even if it is a weekday, it is not good for her to go out shopping by herself as a girl.

"Are you sure you're going out today?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded, the sky was getting darker and darker, and she couldn't see Runye's expression anymore. Could it be that today is a special day when you can't go out?

"Okay then, I'll take you out to see how 'lively' it is today."

Zhu Hongyu didn't hear the clue in Runye's words, and was happy to death for a while.

"Oh my God, you're going out shopping with me. Am I dreaming? ”

Runye didn't say anything, shook his fan and walked outside the school field, and Zhu Hongyu of course followed.

The breeze was cool, blowing away the impetuousness of many days, and people felt the slightest coolness.

Under such a dark night, Runye and Zhu Hongyu went out one after the other. There are lanterns on the side of the street, but it is not necessarily dark. It's just frightening that there are fires everywhere on the streets.

People were doing something in a huddle around the fire. On such a dark and cold night, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but tremble when she saw this scene.

At this time, the moon broke free from the clouds.

The round moon shone on the streets, and the faces of everyone gathered in front of the fire were pale and miserable.

"Ahh With a scream, Zhu Hongyu grabbed Runye's arm, and she was really frightened all of a sudden.

Runye hurriedly pulled Zhu Hongyu away, so as not to cause more misunderstandings. But Zhu Hongyu is like a sucker fish, sticking to Runye's body and not letting go.

This situation was expected before Runye went out.

"Miss Zhu, did your parents tell you to go out to see the yellow calendar?"

Zhu Hongyu shook her head, their family used to be poor and couldn't even afford clothes, and who bothered to buy something as extravagant as Lao Huangli.

Huh? What does Runye mean by this? What is called going out to see the yellow calendar.

Soon, Zhu Hongyu reacted.

The full moon in the sky, the crowds of people on the ground, and the things that look like bonfires.

It turns out that today is the fifteenth day of July, the legendary Halloween.

On this day, the gates of the underworld are opened, and the ghosts of the underworld can return home to visit their relatives, and the gates of the underworld are open from the 15th of July to the 15th of July. After the sound of the change on July 16, the gate was closed.

Therefore, throughout the Zhengde Dynasty, countless legends and horror stories about Halloween were transmitted.

In previous years, Runye had read about this festival in Peach Blossom Village, and he was the busiest on July 15. To help people chant sutras, it is necessary to pray for blessings for the living in such festivals.

But this year, it should be his busiest July and a half. Not only did the number of sick people in the city drop dramatically, but Zhu Hongyu was by his side. After just three months of acquaintance, their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds.

Before, Runye couldn't even think about it.

Zhu Hongyu slowed down for a while, and finally comforted herself that this was just a traditional festival, don't have too many ideas! Isn't it just burning paper? It's essentially no different from making a barbecue!

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu finally suppressed her fear and returned to her original state.

"This, this negligence. Who would have thought it would be this day. ”

Runye just wanted to take Zhu Hongyu back to the school grounds, but remembered that there was a very interesting place to go today.

So he walked on Baihu Street and went further west.

"Runye, aren't we going back?"

Zhu Hongyu followed behind Runye, and was particularly puzzled by Runye's behavior. Runye should be more afraid of these gods and ghosts than himself, why didn't this guy not only not go back to school, but went further.

Baihu Street is lit up, because it is the main road of the city, so there are bright street lamps on the side of the road.

This made Zhu Hongyu admire the wisdom of the ancients, but she didn't expect them to be so smart and have a sense of urban management so early.

Along Baihu Street, the two walked and walked all the way. During this period, there was inevitably a gust of wind blowing on the two of them. The chill gradually invaded, and to be honest, Zhu Hongyu really wanted to turn around and leave.

After walking for about two miles, I gradually came to an open area. Zhu Hongyu recognized that it was a crossroads. It's a long way from the intersection of Suzaku Street and Baihu Street.

It's a lot more lively than other places, and there are at least a few vendors who are still pushing carts to sell things.

Runye took Zhu Hongyu to a tofu stall, and the two of them sat down.

The tofu seller was a thin woman who looked to be forty or fifty years old.

"Let's have two bowls of tofu, let's eat."

The woman glanced at Runye and Zhu Hongyu vigilantly, this action made Zhu Hongyu very uncomfortable. Could it be that they don't have any money? Do you have to look at them like this?

Zhu Hongyu pulled Runye's sleeve under the table and looked at him with a very puzzled gaze.

The tofu of the two quickly came up, it was a bowl of white tofu with a sauce poured inside. The appearance is not very popular, but the fragrance is tangy, and it looks very mild.

"Try it, this is a special sauce tofu for the Midyear Festival."

As he spoke, Runye handed Zhu Hongyu a spoon. Zhu Hongyu looked at the bowl of clear tofu, hesitated for a moment, and then scooped a piece and put it in her mouth.

Tofu is the taste of tofu, and a strong bean flavor comes to the nose. The sauce on top is made with pepper and salt, and there should be a little peppercorn. On such a cloudy night, it is also very comfortable to eat a bowl of such tofu.

"Is there anything to say about that?"

Zhu Hongyu ate half a bowl and thought it tasted good. Then he handed the remaining half bowl of tofu to Runye. She just couldn't eat it.

"In the Midyear Festival, rich families will offer a piece of tofu in front of the ancestors' ranks. After the tofu is removed, it is boiled in plain water and distributed to the family. Over time, such a clear and innocent sauce tofu has been formed. ”

Zhu Hongyu looked at the tofu in the bowl, and she didn't have the heart to eat it, it turned out that this thing was for ghosts, how could Runye eat it?

"I don't think I come to the city often, how do you know about this?"

After eating his tofu at night, he didn't forget to take out two big coins. This sauce tofu is delicious, but the price is also very good. However, this is his favorite food of the year, and introducing his favorite food to Zhu Hongyu seems to make his life more interesting.

"In Taohua Village, Grandma Feng, who likes to sell tofu, pushes a cart to the gate of Sanguan Temple every July and a half to sell it. When the person who has finished burning the paper and finished the excess, when she returns home from the temple, she will eat a bite of tofu in front of her stall. Of course, when she is done, we will give a few bowls to the temple, and we will help her overtake her husband, who died decades ago. ”

It turns out that there are such interesting things in this Sanguan Temple, why didn't she know about it before?

By the way, because she has always been very weak when she was a child, she even had to cry when she went to her grandmother's house, so she was not allowed to go out on Halloween in previous years.

It seems that one year I played in the yard for a while, and I had a high fever for three days and three nights. At that time, it was Runye's master who came to sit for a consultation.

These trivial things Zhu Hongyu doesn't remember much on weekdays, but it is also full of warmth when she really recalls it.

"Hey...... After this July and a half has passed, it is estimated that we will also go back to Peach Blossom Village. ”

Runye said "um", and the two of them did not stop on the street after eating tofu, and went back to the gate of the school field.

This night, although Zhu Hongyu didn't buy anything, it was really enough to be able to follow Runye and eat a bowl of his favorite sweet sauce tofu.

"I have something to tell you about my origin......"
