Chapter 137: The wind chimes ring, and the soul returns home
"Liang Zhu" has come to an end, and the people in the audience are crying.
Chen Yimu and Yan Da are very clear about this story, it is a tragedy, but through the vivid performances of the actors on stage, it is really amazing to make everyone in the audience wipe their tears.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he got up and walked outside.
"I didn't expect Lao Li to be a sensual person!"
"Hey, I think of the past, it's the memories of my childhood that come to my heart, and it's hard to control myself." Li Fangqing said with a smile.
Yan Da said: "Master, don't be so sentimental, we found a beef offal soup, it tastes good, let's have a bowl?"
"A must!"
After eating, at Li Fangqing's suggestion, Chen Yimu and Yan Da sat under the stage, waiting for the next play.
"Eh, Lao Li, do you know why there is a small wind chime hanging at the door of every house here?" Chen Yimu asked as he ate ice cream.
"I don't know, it should be custom." Li Fangqing shook his head and said.
It's getting dark.
At this point, the dispersed crowd returned to their seats.
An old man sat next to Chen Yimu and said with a smile: "The young man also came to see the play, good!"
"This is our traditional drama, you should come and see it, and the uncle also likes to watch the play?" Li Fangqing said.
"There's nothing to do, just come and see, it's fun." The uncle replied with a smile.
Chen Yimu asked, "Uncle, why is there a wind chime hanging under the eaves of every house in our village?"
"This is our custom of Baita Bridge......
There is a custom at Baita Bridge that when a new home is built, a wind chime will be hung under the eaves on the west side of the house.
Wrap it in a red cloth and untie it until someone in the family dies.
At the first seven o'clock, the family was sitting under the eaves on the west side, setting a table for food, burning paper money, and looking at the wind chimes.
If the wind chimes ring, it proves that you have come back to see your loved ones.
"Why is it hanging on the west side?" Yan Da was puzzled.
"Driving the crane to the west, driving the crane to the west, people went to the west, of course, they also came back from the west, so they hung on the west side."
Ding Dong!
The drums and gongs sounded, and the play began.
The uncle looked at the stage, approached Chen Yimu's side and said: "This play was invited to sing because someone in the village died, and I have been singing for seven days, I heard that this kid is a big boss, and he is really rich!"
When Chen Yimu heard it, isn't it the first seven today?
"Lao Li, Yan Da, you watch the play, I'll go to the toilet and eat too much." Chen Yimu clutched his stomach.
Li Fangqing said worriedly: "You won't have a bad stomach, let's go quickly."
"It's okay, I'll be back soon."
"Master, I'll go with you." Yan Da got up and said.
"No, no, no."
Chen Yimu's face was sad, he waved his hand, and walked out quickly.
Out of the studio, Chen Yimu's face was as normal as ever, and when he turned his head, he walked into the village quickly.
The village is very large, and the layout is not so regular, Chen Yimu walked in a daze, trying to remember the way he came.
Every house is dark, and it seems that most of them have gone out to watch the play.
After turning around, there was a house not far away that was lit up, and there was a white cloth hanging at the door.
That's it!
This is a three-storey, five-row house with a courtyard, and there is a door in front of the courtyard, so you can clearly see the situation in the courtyard.
Chen Yimu stood not far away, facing the courtyard, and saw the figure walking in the courtyard.
On the west side there was a table of eight immortals, the top of which was empty, and the other three sides were filled with people.
In the open space in front of the table, people kept putting down the folded paper money and burning it so that the fire would not be extinguished.
In order not to worry Li Fangqing and Yan Da, Chen Yimu went back, said to Li Fangqing, and returned here.
Minutes and seconds passed.
At ten o'clock, a burst of firecrackers sounded at the entrance of the village, and the play ended.
The people who watched the play at the entrance of the village all returned home, and Chen Yimu was in the corner, waiting for everyone to go home before they came out.
At eleven o'clock, all the lights went out.
The village went dark again.
Chen Yimu turned his head and saw two figures approaching him, hurriedly turned around and walked into the alley, and looked down.
"Master, where did you say Master, we've almost come full circle, and the layout of this village is really a bit messy." Yan Da complained.
Li Fangqing said: "We haven't walked here just now, so we should be here."
It turned out that Li Fangqing and Yan Da came to look for him, Chen Yimu hurriedly walked out and said, "I'm here."
Yan Da took a step back and said in shock: "Oh, Master, you came out of nowhere, scared me to death!"
"You go and wait for me in the car, and I'll see if what the uncle said will happen." Chen Yimu said.
Li Fangqing's eyes lit up, and he said with a hint of flattery: "Let's take a look together, it's the first time this kind of thing has happened."
"What you can't see, you only scare yourself." Chen Yimu shook his head and said.
Chen Yimu's meaning is obvious, even if you stay, you may not be able to see it, and you can't scare yourself when you see it.
"It's not the first time, it's okay, it's okay."
"Alright, let's just watch from afar, and if there's any danger, you can go."
Seeing that Li Fangqing and Yan Da had no intention of leaving, Chen Yimu admonished, and the three of them stood and waited quietly.
It was twelve o'clock.
Yan Da leaned against the wall, his eyes open, drowsy.
Li Fangqing yawned, this waiting time was a bit boring, and sleepiness naturally swept in.
Call!
At this time, a gust of wind blew, adding a touch of coolness to the night.
"Hey, why is it a little cold?" Yan Da said with his arms crossed.
"It's really cold, the temperature in the city is higher than in the countryside, but the countryside is still suitable for people, and you don't need to turn on the air conditioner at night." Li Fangqing said.
Chen Yimu's eyes froze, and he saw that the pile of paper money in the courtyard began to fly, and the people in the courtyard stood up.
Ding Ding Ding!
Wind chimes ring.
Chen Yimu looked up, and the wind chimes under the eaves where he was located did not move at all.
There are indeed quirks!
The people in the courtyard, each holding three pillars of incense, knelt down one after another, and kept worshipping to the west side.
The paper money kept burning, and the fire gradually grew stronger.
Chen Yimu faintly heard someone crying, and searched with his eyes, only to see a phantom standing on the west side of the courtyard wall.
"Really back?" Chen Yimu said in a low voice.
Such a cold temperature made Li Fangqing completely sleepy, and hurriedly asked, "What, what is really back?"
"It won't be, it won't be ......" Yan Da seemed to guess something.
The two hid behind Chen Yimu and looked towards the courtyard, but they didn't see anything.
"Master, did you see that?"
"Master, that, where is that?"
The two of them couldn't see it, and their hearts were extremely nervous, desperate to know if there was one.
"Hmm!"
Chen Yimu stretched out his hand and pointed to the courtyard wall on the west side of the courtyard......
