Chapter 47: The Festival Begins!
The tradition of the Silver Lake Festival has been around for a long time, and the place of worship of the Silver Lake Festival has always been on this small island in the middle of the lake.
The island is about the size of a football field, there is an almost five-storey high altar in the center, and there is a main tripod and two secondary tripods on the altar, which are used for incense and prayer on weekdays, and also for the purpose of burning incense and lighting the sacrificial text during the Silver Lake Festival.
As time passed, the boys on the island were gathered around the altar and bowed reverently, and no noise was forbidden.
At dawn, under the dark and gloomy sky, between lightning and thunder, a large number of bonfires were lit around the altar, and on the altar, the two people-high auxiliary dings were also on fire.
This is how the Silver Lake Festival begins!
The sacrifice comes first.
The sacrifices were prepared in advance, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, seasonal vegetables and fruits, carried to the altar by the soldiers of the lake sacrifice camp, and then placed one by one according to the rules.
Then the incense is in.
First the officials of the kingdom entered the incense, then the officials of Qianhu County entered the incense, and then the representatives of the elders of the nine towns and eighteen villages around Yinhu entered the incense.
Finally, the chief priest of fasting and bathing, dressed in black robes, led twenty boys and twenty girls who were also wearing sacrificial robes, and they prostrated one step at a time to the sound of magnificent music, and ascended to the altar.
Incense!
A pre-written memorial text, with a low tone and frustration, is full of emotion, and sprinkles thousands of words.
After the memorial was recited, the main ding, which was nearly one floor high, was on fire.
Burn the sacrificial text.
Boys and girls bow down and pray sincerely.
Sacrifices are burned into the ding, and sacrifices are made to the god of the lake.
It's just general, a whole set of procedures came down, and in the crowd under the altar, Zhao Hao was about to fall asleep in a daze.
It can't be helped, and he can't be blamed for that.
For an atheist, this kind of thing is the most boring, and when he goes to school, what he is best at is sleeping in similar situations.
Until Liu Xiaoxiao pushed him next to him.
Opening his eyes in a daze, he said, "What's the matter, isn't it over?"
Liu Xiaoxiao nodded and whispered, "It's over, I'm going to board the ship and set off soon." ”
Zhao Hao immediately became energetic and said excitedly: "Great, I can finally show my skills." ”
Liu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It seems that you are very confident?"
"That's!" Zhao Hao's chest was held high, and he said proudly: "I may not be as good as you in terms of strength, but when it comes to fishing, hehe, I haven't been afraid of anyone." ”
"Bah, daddy, daddy, who are you, if you talk nonsense, I'll turn into a water ghost and drag you down. ”
Very good chick, not only good-looking, good figure, but also very smiling.
Probably remembering the previous trend, Liu Xiaoxiao smiled again as she spoke.
Zhao Hao grimaced: "It's too much, don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people, don't slap your face when you hit people, if you want to do this again, we won't be friends." ”
I don't know what's funny, as soon as she said this, Liu Xiaoxiao laughed again, and the girls in Liuye Village next to her couldn't help laughing.
After a while, Liu Xiaoxiao said with a straight face: "I believe what you said is true, but don't take it lightly."
Don't forget what the nine towns and eighteen villages around Yinhu rely on to survive, others don't say, just say that we are Liuye Village, the girls of Liuye Village almost grew up in the water.
There are more than 300 days in the year, and from the age of five or six, we go into the water to catch shrimp, and every year we go to fish and catch shrimp, more than 200 days......"
Saying this, Zhao Hao was still a little frightened.
At this time, he remembered that in fact, Yinhu Lake is a big fishpond, and the nine towns and eighteen villages around Yinhu have relied on this big fishpond to make a living since ancient times.
Even if it is as strong as the Li family, its root is still fishery.
From this level, in fact, when it comes to fishing, almost everyone present is more professional than him.
Compared with the thousands of peers on the field at the moment, his poor fishing experience is not worth mentioning at all.
Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that the difficulty of winning the championship this time had risen straight up and broken through the sky.
After all, he seems to have become a waste again, a crane tail.
But......
"Don't be afraid!"
"Even if you can catch fish directly in the lake water dozens of meters deep, what if you can catch fish in the lake? Compared to Dad's modern electric fish technology, you are still a scum!"
Thinking in his heart, Zhao Hao quickly calmed down.
Shortly thereafter, the Silver Lake Festival came to an end, and in the midst of the blazing fire, the chief priest solemnly announced the beginning of the annual fishing festival.
"The only target of the fishing festival is snowflake fish from Beixu!"
"Individuals and groups that catch the most snowflake fish in seven days will receive generous rewards from the Kingdom and Thousand Lakes County. ”
"During the fishing festival, if the total amount of snowflake fish caught by the family exceeds 200 catties, the family will be exempted from paying taxes throughout the year. ”
“......”
One by one, the rules are extremely clear.
Whether it is for the individual or the family behind the individual, this is not only a battle for glory, but also a great benefit.
Therefore, when the word "start" fell at the end, the atmosphere on the island exploded in an instant.
"Rush!"
"Cut two hundred catties angrily, and reduce taxes for the family!"
"The laurel of this grand ceremony must be in my Qinglong Village!"
"Where is the Wang family's son?
"The children of the Zhao family gather and set sail with me!"
“......”
What a warm scene.
Listening to the constant shouts around him, unconsciously, Zhao Hao was also a little enthusiastic.
His brain was a little burned out, and at a certain moment, he raised his arms and shouted: "Who can be with me through thick and thin, swinging a sword and cutting the flag?"
Quack - Quack -
The Cold Emperor is here!
Suddenly, there was silence all around.
The surrounding crowd looked at each other strangely, and soon went to their respective busyes again.
Li Hanyan glanced at it, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, and his contemptuous look looked like his butt was itching, and he didn't need to be beaten!
A girl from Liuyezhai smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao Hao, for the sake of Liuyezhai, our sisters must unite!"
Liu Xiaoxiao also said happily: "Yes, the next step is not only individual competition, but also group competition, so I'm sorry, I can't be with you through thick and thin." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Li Hanyan, and quipped: "Aren't you a child of the Li family now?"
The Li family is quite strong, follow it well, don't think about the personal ranking, the family ranking has a good chance. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Does Daddy look like he made soy sauce?"
"Girl, are you sure you're not laughing at me?"
Zhao Hao's eyes were glazed, his face dark.
At this moment, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Zhao Feihu led the crowd over.
With a sneer, he said: "This time, not only will I, Zhao Feihu, far surpass you in the rankings, but my Zhao family will also surpass your Li family and become the number one family in Yinhu Town."
Waste, you also remember, it's better not to run into me in the next few days, otherwise, I'll show you how easy it is for Silver Lake to bury someone. ”
Declare war!
Threat!
After saying that, he didn't stay for a moment, and soon left in the angry eyes of everyone in the Li family.
Shortly thereafter, under the concerned eyes of Liu Xiaoxiao and others, Zhao Hao suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "Sister Hanyan, shall we be together?"
You see, Zhao Feihu's bedbugs all say that we are the Li family, which means that we are a family!
Since we are a family, shouldn't we love each other and help each other?"
Good makes sense.
It's just that the eyeballs around him fell to the ground......
