Chapter 273: Blessing Ceremony
The aunt nodded firmly, showing a kind smile, "Girl, you must have traveled a long way!" Go to Auntie's house, Auntie will make you something to eat! ”
Luo Ling naturally agreed happily, plus she was not familiar with the rules here, it was a kind of fate to be able to meet Wang Ying this time, taking this opportunity, Luo Ling mentioned the previous words again,
"Auntie, I just came to your place, and I don't know a lot of rules, so Auntie must tell me about it!"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you more about it when you go to my house!" The aunt enthusiastically held Luo Ling's arm, which was completely different from before.
Luo Ling's heart is a little warm, although the people here are more admiring ghosts and gods, but they are warm and generous to people, and their temperament is more direct.
"Thank you very much!" Luo Ling said politely.
"Look at you, this girl, you are polite at every turn, here in Aunt Wang, you don't have to be so polite!" After saying this, Wang Ying laughed happily a few more times.
Shy Flower was at a loss, so she had to follow behind the two in a daze, as if they weren't so familiar, right, they hadn't known each other for an hour?
Aunt Wang's home is an inconspicuous house in the town, most of them are wooden houses, around the wooden house, surrounded by a fence, it becomes a small courtyard at home, although it is not big, but it is full of warm feelings, Luo Ling fantasizes that one day, she can also live with Xiahou Yan in such a small courtyard, and she can live a life of looking up and not looking down every day.
After Aunt Wang explained again and asked Luo Ling to sit down and rest, she went to the back kitchen to cook home-cooked food, Luo Ling sat on a simple square bench, looking at the simple tables and chairs in the wooden house, and a warm smile was hooked on the corner of her mouth.
Shy Flower didn't understand a little, frowned and glanced at the surrounding environment,
"Miss, do we really live here?"
Luo Ling raised his eyes and looked at the displeased shy flower standing in front of him, "Yes, I think it's good here, Aunt Wang is enthusiastic!" ”
"But... It's too simple here, I'm afraid I'll be wronged! ”
Shy Flower pursed her lower lip, knowing that she shouldn't have said that, but for Luo Ling's sake, she still brought it up.
Luo Ling just smiled, "Shame flower, I didn't come out this time to play in the mountains and rivers, not to mention that Aunt Wang is sincere to people, if she mentions, we can take fewer detours, after all, she has lived here for many years!" ”
Shame Flower originally wanted to say something, but when she heard Luo Ling say this, she had to swallow her words.
This time, she originally planned to find the best inn for Luo Ling, and she categorically couldn't be wronged Luo Ling, who knew that this time Luo Ling was a little abnormal, and it was easy to follow a person who had only known each other for a short time to go home?
Is this still the budget-conscious young lady she knows?
"Okay!"
Eventually, two words squeezed out of Shy Flower's mouth.
On the same day, Aunt Wang took out the bacon that was only a few months left in the family and made a sumptuous dinner for Luo Ling, looking at the 'big meal' on the table, the shy flower stretched her neck and didn't know how to put down the chopsticks, but Luo Ling ate it with relish.
In fact, on the table, in addition to a plate of salted meat, there is also a bowl of green vegetable soup and a few boiled eggs, and even the color of the steamed bun is not as white as it usually eats.
After a meal, Aunt Wang warmly beckoned Luo Ling to eat meat, and took a small bite of the hard salted meat, almost didn't swallow it, but fortunately she swallowed a mouthful of rice quickly, and then swallowed the salty and tasteful meat.
Luo Ling ate the food in the bowl, and listened carefully to Aunt Wang talking about everything in Hexi Town, she would not let go of every detail of the year when Hexi Town had a big flood and how to sacrifice.
However, Luo Ling benefited a lot from this meal, not only in addition to the river god here, but also the people in the town like to worship the mountain god, in this way, to seek the peace of Hexi Town.
This time, if Luo Ling hadn't calculated that there would be a natural disaster here, he really wouldn't have had the opportunity to come to this ancient and strange town, when I heard Aunt Wang say that one year because of the sacrifice to the river god, a young woman who offered the fruit slipped because she accidentally slipped her feet and fell the fruit of the river god!
As a result, the fate of the woman can be imagined, and the people of Hexi Town were afraid that the river god would be angry and flooded, so they were ordered by the high priest to dress up, and then tied their hands and feet and threw them into the river, saying that they were asking the river god to atone for their sins.
Luo Ling's face froze for a few seconds when she heard the girl being thrown into the river, and then she regained her previous expression, "So, this high priest presides over the worship ceremonies here?" ”
"Well, the High Priest is the messenger of the river god, and even our mayor has to listen to the High Priest!" Aunt Wang added, "Girl, if you live here forever in the future, you must listen to the high priest, otherwise angering him will be tantamount to angering the river god!" ”
Luo Ling also almost understood a little in her heart, it seems that another day, she will have to meet this high priest.
"Hmm!" She smiled and nodded, in response.
After eating, it was dark, Luo Ling slept in the same bed with Shy Flower, everything here was relatively simple, even the quilt was hard, Shy Flower slept very uncomfortable, and would always turn over.
Luo Ling thought that Shame Flower was awake, and patted her on the shoulder, but Shame Flower just rolled over and continued to fall asleep!
Perhaps, it was because she was too tired during the day, so she could sleep even if she was uncomfortable.
Luo Ling got up quietly, pushed open the somewhat dilapidated window in the door, the night wind blew, she gently pulled the thin rope at the end of the signal stick she held in her hand, and then flew into the night sky, crossing a bright red fireworks, the speed was very fast, fleeting!
After the signal, Luo Ling turned around and draped the thick cloak over his body, opened the door, and walked to the shadow in the courtyard.
As soon as she went out, she saw a black shadow in the sky quickly fall in front of her, knelt on one knee, clasped her hands into fists, and said respectfully, "What do you want to do when Niangniang calls her subordinates?" ”
Nighthawk has always called Luo Ling his mother, and when he first met Luo Ling, he just thought she was better-looking. But now, he really felt in his heart that there was only a woman like Luo Ling who could be worthy of their nine kings.
Nighthawk naturally decided that she was the only lady in his mind.
Luo Ling helped Nighthawk up and said to him solemnly, "General Night, I want you to do something!" ”
The courtyard was silent, and Luo Ling leaned forward slightly, leaning into Nighthawk's ear and whispering something.
Nighthawk listened, nodded slightly, then turned and tapped the ground on tiptoe, as if it had come, and quietly disappeared into the night.
The next morning, Luo Lingjiang got up early after sleeping all night, and Shahua also prepared things to wash.
"Miss, why don't we go to the guest house tonight?"
Shy Flower brought in the washing water in the wooden basin and pursed her mouth slightly.
"If we keep going, we will be able to finish it all in less than two days!" Lorling wrung out the face towel and then hung the washed towel on the washstand.
Shy Flower sighed, "Okay! ”
After a while, Aunt Wang walked in happily, at this time Luo Ling just finished combing her hair, today she still very simple to pull a sideburns, on both sides of the temples, with some delicate flowers embellished, although elegant and simple, it is indeed very good-looking.
"Luoyu, I've got good news for you!"
Last night, when Aunt Wang asked about Luo Ling's real name, Luo Ling did not tell her real name, because whether it was Xiahou Luoling or Chen Luoling, it was too easy to cause a lot of commotion, so it was better to use the name Xiahou Yan gave her to cover her true identity.
Luo Ling maintained a polite smile, "Aunt Wang, what's the good news?" ”
Aunt Wang said happily, "This afternoon, the high priest wants to report a blessing ceremony, which was temporarily sent by the mayor of the town to inform you, as long as you go with sacrifices and sincerity, you will be able to get the blessing and blessing of the river god!" ”
Luo Ling's pupils narrowed slightly, and asked, "What sincerity?" ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed, "The mayor sent someone to inform that those who go in the afternoon must bring ten incense money and chickens and ducks to worship the river god in order to show their sincerity!" ”
"Oh? Then let's go! ”
Luo Ling had wanted to meet this high priest for a while, and since she had such a good opportunity, of course she wanted to go.
Aunt Wang grabbed Luo Ling's arm with some embarrassment, frowned for a long time before saying,
"But... But I'm still short of a copper coin, so it will seem insincere, can my aunt borrow a little from you, and wait for two days for my aunt to sell the eggs and return them to you? ”
An imperceptible look flashed in Luo Ling's eyes, and she didn't take out the silver money on her body, but said,
"Aunt Wang, I had a dream last night! A very strange dream, I wonder if Aunt Wang can interpret the dream? ”
Wang Ying hurriedly asked, "What have you dreamed of?" ”
Luo Ling bit her lip, as if trying to think of something, she asked with some uncertainty,
"I wonder if there's a turtle-like mountain around here?"
"This... Don't even say it, there really is such a mountain. Aunt Wang said with some excitement. Then he asked, "Luoyu, you have never been here, how did you dream of that mountain?" ”
"I also think it's strange, I seem to have dreamed of the mountain god in my dream, he told me that on this mountain, it is full of gold and silver treasures, I don't know if it's true?" Luo Ling said with some uncertainty.
When Aunt Wang heard her say this, she was also energetic, "Luoyu, this shows that it is the mountain god who is giving you a dream, go, Aunt Wang will take you to see, did the mountain god say where it is hidden?" ”
Because there is still some time before the blessing, and the mountain is not far from here, it will not delay time to come and go.
Luo Ling tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I have to go to see it before I know if it's a scene in a dream!" ”
