The fifth aunt and I both heard the noisy sound of gongs and drums, "Could it be that whose family is marrying, shouldn't it?" The fifth aunt muttered to herself.

"Also, if anyone from these ten miles and eight villages marries a wife, can they hide it from you?" I answered.

As soon as my fifth aunt and I came out of the courtyard, several men rushed forward and lifted me up.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing here?" I was taken aback by the situation in front of me.

They didn't mean to stop at all, they just carried me away, and they didn't care if I struggled or not!

A few minutes later, I was carried to the small field in the village, and I glanced at the middle of the square where there was an altar with a pig's head that had just been killed, tribute, and a jar of old wine.

This is a few meanings, suddenly came up a thought that made me very broken, could it be that this Shangshui village wants me to make offerings, we have the custom of offering here, but everything that wants to be offered, is eight strong men in the morning to carry out the newly slaughtered livestock.

But I am neither an animal nor a newlywed.

"What the hell are you going to do?" I stared at my legs, this time I was really anxious.

"The village chief didn't say anything!" The strong man at the head said.

When the village chief saw this group of people carrying me over, he came over and said, "I asked you to invite people, why did you bring them to me!" ”

The strong man at the head scratched his head, "Village Chief, who did you ask us to invite before?" Aren't they all lifted? ”

The village chief knocked on the strong man's head, "I used to please, that invitation was drawn in quotation marks, but now I ask you to please, it's really please, don't put it down quickly!" ”

I understand what the village chief means, when the village chief used to punish someone, he would let these people carry someone, because he was afraid that the punished person would run away.

Rubbing my sore shoulders, this group of people is neither deep nor shallow, and it hurts me too much.

A little girl of five or six years old came over, very cute, and put a big red flower on my neck.

Those tributes are tied with big red flowers, do you really want to offer me to the altar?

Dozens of men, women, and children in the empty field automatically lined up in several rows, and the village chief stood in the lead position, "Kneel!" The village chief shouted, and the people behind him also knelt down.

The village chief was holding a bowl of wine, and the people behind him were also holding a bowl of wine.

"Heaven favors, the earth is thick and the sky is high, the spring is prosperous, the men, women and children of Sheung Shui Village worship the sky, thanks to the favor of God, protect the common people, kowtow——"

Men, women, and children kowtowed in unison.

"Bow again-" "Three kowtows-"

Everyone was kowtowing there, and I was standing there alone, stupidly.

After the villagers kowtowed, they all took a sip of wine, then spilled it on the ground and broke the bowl.

Although my brain is not very bright, but I also understand, it seems that this spring is good, and if it is good, it can't send me to the altar, this is carried over and with red flowers, what does it mean?

After the ceremony, the village chief came over and patted me on the shoulder, and the strength was so great that I almost didn't fall and stumble.

Then he bowed deeply to me, and the other villagers in Sheung Shui also bowed deeply behind me.

That's a big gift!

I hurriedly helped the old village chief up, "Village chief, you are too polite!" ”

The village chief looked up at me, and a cloudy tear was left in the corner of his eye, "It's been five years, five years, water, it's not so much!" ”

"Village chief, you, you bring me this big red flower, don't you want to sacrifice me to the sky!" I voiced my concerns.

"Haha!" The old village chief smiled, "No, I just thank you, you are the benefactor of our men, women and children in Shangshui Village, and you don't deserve to bring a big red flower." ”

It wasn't meant to be offered to the altar, but this time I'm relieved, I've gone from a tribute to a hero.

Now that the water is good, I can't stay in Shangshui Village anymore, and the note that Grandpa Sun left for me said that he would stay in the coffin for another three days, and today will be the end of the three-day period, and tomorrow morning, we will have to go to the grave to pick him up.

"That, village chief, since the spring is good and there is nothing to do, then I'll go back!" I said to the old village chief.

"Don't, I've come here anyway, and we have to thank you! Besides, you don't want to see the spring! The old village chief said to me.

To be honest, I'm really curious about the spring, although I haven't seen it before, but the old village chief and the third grandmother have said that the water sprayed from the spring before was sprayed for a day without a day, and now what has become of it, which can make the villagers of Shangshui Village excited like this, and it is to worship ancestors and kowtow.

This spring is at the foot of the back mountain of Sheung Shui Village, shady on all sides, the surrounding vegetation is also very good, a lush green, there are some rocks at the mouth of the spring, it is natural to surround the position of the center of the spring, there is a flat stone next to the spring, as if it has been polished, and the word "Shangshui" is engraved on it.

The spring was as tall as a man, and the column was so thick that it could catch up with an adult's arm, and the water was splashing and soaking the surrounding mud.

The old village chief sighed, "It's been five years, and I haven't seen a spring like this!" "I know that he is happy in his heart, with the posture of this spring, not to mention Banming Village and Shangshui Village, even villages within a radius of 100 miles come here to drink, and it is estimated that they can supply water.

The old village chief lit the cigarette pouch and took a puff, "Young man, I said that you are our benefactor, not an exaggeration!" ”

"Where, where!" I waved my hand again and again, and I was a little embarrassed that the elders brought me such a thick high hat.

"Eat at my house in the evening, let's drink two cups!"

"No, I have to go back this afternoon, there will be something tomorrow!" With that, I yawned.

"Look at you, you've been tired like this all night, hurry back to my house, rest well on the kang, I'll have someone send you back early tomorrow morning, I'll have dinner at last, and I'll send someone to send you back tomorrow."

The village chief is so enthusiastic, I naturally can't refuse, this place in the northeast is like this, people sincerely invite you, if you don't give face, you just don't know how to lift, not to mention that I am still a junior.

The old village chief meant that he must have a few drinks with me at night, and I calculated in my heart that if I got up early tomorrow, Grandpa Sun's side would not be delayed.

Dragging my tired body, I lay on the kang of the village chief's house, although I was a little sleepy, but there were many mysteries in my heart, since I wanted to have a round room with Widow He, why did her sister-in-law He Xiaoman go first, why did Widow He and He Xiaoman not be burned by my blood jade, why did I have a round room with Widow He, this spring is really good, can it be said that Brother Yishui in front of Widow He, it has really always been a wood.

As for this widow, why am I so familiar with her, when I left her in the morning, I actually felt reluctant.

I remembered that I would have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I was actually very sad.

No, I need to go see her!

Thinking of this, I bounced off the kang with my ass, spread my legs and walked out the door!

"What are you going to do?" The village elder's wife grabbed me.

"I, I want to go to that yard!" I pointed in the direction of Widow Ho's house, a little unspeakable.

"Okay, aren't we going to see each other after this incident?" The village elder's wife asked me.

I understand what she means, after all, I did it instead of Wang Yishui in the round house, so although Widow He is in a coma, but after all, it is a little chattering, if she feels it, the round house with her yesterday is just a stand-in, what can I do if I hold this spring back?

I was a little frustrated, retreated to the house, the more I pondered, the more uncomfortable I became, tomorrow goodbye, I will never see this woman again, last night on the kang, I have a voice in my heart to respond to her, always feel that I still have a lot of things to say to her, just go back, I am really unwilling.

"Auntie, I promise not to enter Widow He's house, portrait, I'll see if the portrait is not successful? Even if I say goodbye to people! "I think the village elder's wife pleaded, and I couldn't figure out why I wanted to see her so strongly.

The eldest lady glanced at me, her eyes were a little contradictory, it seemed that she was moved by compassion, a woman of this age couldn't help the young man grinding her, and she softened her heart when she grinded.

"Then let's talk about it, just look at the portrait, nothing else!"

I hurriedly thanked my eldest mother, and ran into the courtyard of Widow He's house, and as soon as I entered the main hall, the portrait actually fell off.
