The village is the first village that Xiao An explored, the terrain of the village is extraordinary, as its name suggests, when the moon rises, it is like a pair of giant palms holding the moon, and the moon is like a pearl in the hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, it is the annual sacrificial ceremony of Zhuyue Village, which has a special name, called "Sacrificial Snow", and the snow sacrifice is not a specific day, but the first snow of each winter is the Snow Sacrifice Day of Zhuyue Village.

Snow sacrifice is a unique day in the village of the moon, except for the written festival, the other festivals are similar to the current one, but most of the festivals are recorded in the lunar calendar.

At this moment, in a wide place in the center of the village of Zhuyue Village, a bonfire was burning brightly around the surroundings, and the bonfire surrounded a group of people, their expressions were serious, their eyes were closed, their hands were folded, and they quietly listened to the words of the person in front of them.

The person who spoke in front was the patriarch of this tribe, and became that Bai Zaha, as for why the name is like this, it is probably because they are an ethnic minority, so the name is a little strange.

Bai Zaha also folded his hands, his expression was very serious, and his face was painted with some color, and he muttered something in his mouth, as if it was their characteristic language, and everyone around him listened to him.

This remote tribe belongs to the ethnic minority, so they have their own language, which is almost incomprehensible to people outside the language, but they can also speak some Mandarin, although it is very blunt, but it can still be understood.

Behind the crowd around the bonfire, there were four people, they were Xiao An, Elder Bai, Zhou Maoyin and Huang Bo, they looked at this ceremony dignifiedly, this atmosphere did not need to be explained There is a kind of majesty, in fact, their expressions are very serious.

Huang Bo's eyes swept left and right, the bright light from the bonfire was in his eyes, and he asked Elder Bai in a low voice,

"Elder Bai, what do you mean by what the patriarch is saying now?"

The three of them were all from outside, so they naturally didn't know what the patriarch said, although it sounded particularly interesting, but they didn't know what to say.

Elder Bai touched his long beard, and then said proudly,

"Snow sacrifice is our unique ritual, so the patriarch is saying something thankful to God or something."

Huang Bo nodded, and then whispered,

"Got it."

Then he looked at the ceremony solemnly, this kind of ritual is almost impossible to see in Z County, if it can be seen, it is the ritual after the dead, although the atmosphere is also very dignified, but most of them are depressing, and there is no such sacred feeling.

When they first came here, the three of them still opened their eyes, the bonfires in Xiao An's eyes flashed one after another, and Zhou Maoyin's bald head reflected the bonfire, his expression was very calm, not excited, but quite a little compliant.

Xiao An whispered in Zhou Maoyin's ear,

"Mr. Zhou, have you ever seen such a ritual?"

Zhou Maoyin shook his head,

"This kind of ritual is now a rare ritual in China, so I haven't seen it, but according to some books, ethnic minorities have their own national culture, so they have different sacrificial activities, and at present, this kind of is its own, strictly speaking, it can be said to be an intangible cultural heritage."

Xiao An narrowed his eyes, although Xiao An was also well-informed, but he had indeed never seen such a grand ceremony of a tribe.

During the conversation, the patriarch slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were like tigers, and he first glanced in the direction of Xiao An, although he was a little inexplicable in his heart, and then said something in their unique language, and all the people began to sit cross-legged, and said something in their mouths, as if it was a ballad.

At this time, Elder Bai also sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, his mouth muttering, the three of them saw this, their eyes looked at each other, and they also sat cross-legged like Elder Bai, they didn't say anything, but observed everything.

There was silence all around, and the patriarch roared a few times, and then continued, and this went on and on, and after a few pillars of incense, it was over.

Elder Bai stood up, and then said with a kind expression,

"The snow ceremony is over, and now we have singing and dancing, and I invite you to join us on behalf of our village."

Xiao An smiled,

"Elder Bai, it doesn't seem appropriate for us outsiders to be here, and we haven't met with Patriarch Bai yet, so it's in vain. I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding. ”

Elder Bai smiled,

"Although our Bai patriarch is tough on the outside, he is very kind and welcomes friends from afar, so you don't have to worry about this."

At this time, Bai Zaha was heading in their direction, and asked in the language of the tribe,

"Uncle, are they?"

Elder Bai is actually Bai Zaha's own uncle, because most of the people in this tribe have the surname Bai, so they are more or less related by blood.

Elder Bai bowed first, and then said,

"Patriarch, they are friends from afar, and I am inviting them to our celebration."

Bai Zaha looked at them for a moment, then nodded and said to Elder Bai,

"Okay, uncle, let them sit next to me in a moment."

Elder Bai bowed again, and then said with a smile to Xiao An in stiff Mandarin,

"Little brother, let me introduce you, this is our patriarch, the patriarch of Bai Zaha."

Xiao An also had a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to Bai Zaha,

"Xiao An, excuse me."

Bai Zaha also stretched out his hand to cater to it,

"Where, where, there are guests from afar, I welcome you on behalf of my people."

The flesh on Zhou Maoyin's face was squeezed together, because he saw that the people around him began to busily arrange, preparing some drinks and food, Zhou Maoyin was a foodie.

"Zhou Maoyin!"

He also stretched out his hand to want to Bai Zaha, and Zaha catered to it.

"Huang Bo, a native of Z County."

Bai Zaha squinted at Huang Bo, and then stretched out his hand,

"Welcome to our place."

After introducing themselves one by one, Bai Zaha said,

"Don't stand, please take a seat!"

The five of them went to the crowd, tonight was a lively night, although there was still snow outside, but the original ritual of this moon holding village was to sacrifice snow, and the snow at this time was even more beautiful.

The people of the village were drinking, singing, dancing, and having fun, and in the distance, a dark shadow stood in the snow, he spat white air in his mouth, and looked up at the sky, at this moment the sky loomed with a bright moon, especially round.

In a hoarse voice, he said slowly,

"Sacrifice snow? Tonight is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, what are you going to do next? ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around, pulled his clothes, and went off into the distance, and he still came here with him.
