I snorted, "Everyone knows this, but there are so many people who have investigated for so many years, and in the end, nothing has been investigated." I'm weird, why are you Zhao Yunhan so interested in a big beauty? Could there be some ulterior motive in it? ”

Zhao Yunhan grabbed my arm hard, "I do have a purpose. Because people are good. Did you come here for some ulterior motive? ”

I was speechless for a moment. To be honest, I still don't know why I came here, although there is a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart, but even stronger is a surge in my brain. The feeling that I have to come, although it is good, but the emotional color is far more than good.

Alas, as the saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle. Having said that, I'm afraid that my woman's heart is more complicated, so complicated that I can't understand my own thoughts more and more.

"Ah Ye." Zhao Yunhan thought for a while and said, "Thirteen years ago, didn't your family happen to be in Horse Raising Village?" Do you remember what happened at that time? ”

I glared at her, then laughed out loud, "I see, no wonder you've gone to such great lengths to seduce me into this hellish place." It turned out to be the idea of hitting! But I'm sorry, I can't remember anything about five and a half years ago! ”

Zhao Yunhan's expression did not change at all: "Your family didn't mention it?" ”

"Never." I frowned, "I'm too lazy to ask." There are some things that may not be good to know. "Actually, to be honest, it's a miracle that with such a fiery kindness I would tolerate a blank memory of my life and ignore it, but I really haven't asked, and I don't really want to ask. Maybe I subconsciously thought that what happened at that time should not be a good thing.

I'm bold, but I'm not bold enough to be cheap. Since the brain has taken self-protection measures, why do you still dig into the roots, isn't that asking for trouble? Sometimes self-deception is not an easy way to deceive yourself!

Zhao Yunhan was also smart and didn't make any more chapters on this matter, but the crescent-like brows lowered a little, and made a contemplative statement: "There are many strange places in this small village. There are also small brick and wood brick and wood bungalows and bamboo and wood grass houses. There wasn't a single building in the building. This is hard to find throughout the country. In those poor places, at least two or three stories of government buildings will be built. It's weird! Is it a taboo to build a building? ”

"Aren't you studying folklore, the customs and habits here should be very clear." I looked at the scenery around me nonchalantly, this kind of idyllic scenery is difficult for people born in the city to see.

Not far away, a group of children were playing games. I casually looked over, and I didn't care much about it at first, but soon the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became. pulled Zhao Yunhan beside him hard and pointed to the group of children.

She looked at it suspiciously, but she didn't see the reason for it for a while. I couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything wrong there?" ”

"Of course there is a problem." My voice was slightly agitated, and my eyes didn't take my eyes off the group of children.

The game was played by six people, each with a number of pebbles that could be found everywhere along the river. The children formed a circle and piled up the stones layer by layer. The first to collapse entered the circle and danced a strange dance.

"It's a bit new, but I don't really see anything." Zhao Yunhan was puzzled.

"Look closely, look at the kid who is dancing." I whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a simple variant of 'Jumping Duangong.'" ”

"Jumping Duangong?" Zhao Yunhan's face showed a hint of surprise, "How is it possible, they are just children." Moreover, the regular jumping duangong was extinct in various places more than 100 years ago! ”

The so-called jumping duan gong was popular in the countryside before the Republic of China. It is said that in the event of natural disasters or man-made disasters or family members who have been ill for a long time, they think that there are ghosts to worship, and they often have to ask Duan Gong to drive away ghosts.

Jumping Duan Gong is also known as Jumping God, Jumping Langjun, Qingtan, Chuan Lao Ye and so on. In advance, the main family first explained the reason for the god jump to Duan Gong, informed Duan Gong of the eight characters of his birthday, and then Duan Gong calculated the date of the god jump. When the expiration of the main family prepares incense candles and paper money, the rooster "knife head", please come to the end of the public to jump the god and collect the ghost. The collected ghosts (also burned paper money ashes or talisman ashes) are held in clay pots, sealed with red paper, and handed over to the owner to bury or throw away at the designated place. There are also "hairy people" with straw to paste spells, and they are incinerated with fire after completing the law, indicating that the ghost has been collected. Jumping Duan Gong is also often interspersed with activities such as climbing knife ladders, putting out fire pits, and ploughshares piercing the chest, indicating that Duan Gong has a god attached to his body. Duan Gong also doubles as a variety of rituals such as "playing the gualet", "passing the test" and "celebrating the altar".

However, there are not too many gimmicks in the regular jumping duangong, but the importance of posture is emphasized. At that time, most of the regular Duangong dancers were young and beautiful virgins, and they were rigorously trained in various dance postures for different purposes from an early age. And it is said that each pose has a different purpose and must not be confused, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

I once saw each posture of the Duangong dancers in the sketches of the predecessors in a very old book collected by my second uncle Yexuan, and I still remember it vividly because I think my sister is very beautiful.

The dance that the children in front of me are playing games and dancing is a dance called 'Luo Yin Soul', and the source is very authentic.

After recalling for a while, I spoke again, "This dance is called 'Luo Yin Spirit', which is a kind of exorcism of evil spirits, and its specific use is to chase away water ghosts. ”

Zhao Yunhan thought for a while, and then nodded, "It's no wonder, villages with big rivers have a long history, and most of them are afraid of water ghosts because people often drown." It's not uncommon for children to have this kind of dance in their games, but I think it was taught by adults in the past, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

"That's how it should be." I feel the same way.

Not far away, when the children playing the game danced wrongly, they clapped their hands and sang loudly, "Golden doll, golden doll, golden essence and water ghosts can't be deceived." The ghost doesn't like the grass, and the water ghost runs the door. ”

When I heard this, I immediately laughed. It seems that the legend of the golden doll in the Yangma River Valley is too numerous to mention, and it has even been incorporated into children's songs. I just don't know if the so-called golden doll is a water ghost. If not, what is it? In a short distance of more than 100 kilometers, it is also a golden doll, but the image shown is completely different.
