Chapter 86: The Ancestors Went Up
As soon as the group walked to the entrance of the village, they saw villagers waiting from a distance, all of them beaming, as if they had forgotten what happened in the ancestral hall yesterday.
People, it's all realistic.
Carpenter Zuo gave such a big benefit as soon as he came, even if the villagers of Xingnan Village didn't know him, they had to pretend to be grateful to each other.
Grain, rice and noodles are now precious! As soon as the other party made a move, he was so generous, and they still wanted to please him, maybe there would be benefits.
In ancient times, most of the countrymen were so narrow-minded, they did not have a good education, and only knew that food and clothing were the most important things in life!
In the face of such enthusiastic villagers, Carpenter Zuo was a little uncomfortable at first, he was a straightforward person after all, and he was still a little nervous when he was acting for the first time.
However, when the village chief and others welcomed them into the ancestral hall, he knew that he had to send an arrow on the string, and started acting seriously.
The people who looked like Taoist priests behind him were all fake Taoist priests he specially found in the city, and nothing else, they were good at tricks in the rivers and lakes.
With Ye Hao's heavy money to buy, these people naturally obeyed Carpenter Zuo and obediently acted according to his words.
Although Xingnan Village is a village with a relatively long history in the local area, there are few rich and noble families, and it is still rare to do this kind of money-burning thing.
Therefore, when everyone heard about this, they couldn't help but be curious, and followed up to look outside the ancestral hall.
For this, Carpenter Zuo did not refuse, and the village chief went with them.
After all, the other party said that as long as they don't make trouble, they can do it.
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, those fake Taoist priests began to arrange things, the altar should be raised, and the paper should be burned.
Everyone has been in this industry for a long time, and the kung fu in some scenes is still decent, so that no one will see the clues.
In a short time, the news of the ancestral hall starting to do things spread throughout the village.
Carpenter Zheng went to the ancestral hall last night and slept a little late, so he naturally got up late today.
By the time he pushed open the door in a daze, the rituals were about to begin.
Looking at the villagers who hurried to the ancestral hall outside the door, he instantly sobered up and recalled yesterday's events.
This left carpenter, do you really want to do something?
Thinking about what happened during the night, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but follow.
When Carpenter Zheng arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, there was already a group of people outside the door, crowded and crowded, and he couldn't see the situation inside at all.
In desperation, he had no choice but to squeeze in.
Fortunately, everyone saw that it was him, and they all consciously gave way to the position.
By the time he had squeezed to the front and finally could see what was inside, the ritual had already begun.
The Taoist priests chanted the scriptures, and the paper money burned paper money, and none of them were idle.
The open space in the ancestral hall has been decorated by them in a particularly solemn manner, and the carpenter Zuo took his grandson, dressed in white, and knelt down in front of the tablet.
At the same time, Ye Hao's house was far away in another village.
The four members of the family came out of the house, all equipped and packed, and their carriage was parked outside and waiting.
"You go first, I'll leave it to you."
Smiling at Lin Bin, Ye Hao gave a trusting look.
She had already secretly listened to last night's recording early in the morning, and it could definitely play a vital role in today's rituals.
In this matter, it is inconvenient for her to come forward, and she does not have such superb martial arts skills, so she can hide herself in front of everyone.
Nodding, Lin Bin slept less than Carpenter Zheng.
But he didn't look like the other party still didn't wake up, the whole person was still refreshed, and he couldn't see the tiredness.
Xie Yunshu, who was watching the conversation between the two, frowned, but did not speak.
He knew in his heart what the two were talking about, but this feeling of not being able to plug in was really uncomfortable.
When Lin Bin received the order
After leaving, Ye Hao turned her gaze to the big and small ones beside her.
"Let's go, too!"
Subsequently, she took Zhao Yi into the carriage, and Xie Yunshu naturally acted as a coachman.
Sitting in the carriage, feeling the rickety bumps, Ye Hao tilted her head to look at Zhao Yi beside her.
"Is there anything you want to eat or play? When you get to the city, tell me if you like it."
Although he often goes to the county to do errands, these two people in the family rarely follow him.
Especially Zhao Yi, when he set up a stall, because there was no one to take care of him at home, he took him to the city.
After that, he never went again, stayed at home every day, and followed Xie Yunshu to learn literature and martial arts.
"Uh-huh!"
The little head nodded slightly, and Zhao Yi's white and tender little face was full of smiles.
There is a good show in Xingnan Village today, but unfortunately their family can't go to see it, so use today's time to finalize the shop!
Originally, Ye Hao didn't plan to go to the city with her family, but Xie Yunshu offered to choose a shop with her, and they didn't worry about leaving Zhao Yi at home alone.
So, it was originally an errand, but in the end it became a family trip.
Here and Meimei's family entered the city, and the good show in Xingnan Village over there has just begun!
When Lin Bin arrived at Xingnan Village, Wang Hu was waiting for him early, and as soon as the two met, they rushed to the location of the ancestral hall.
Wang Hu doesn't have any martial arts, he usually relies on his own strength, and he doesn't have any skills.
Therefore, when he watched Lin Bin's footsteps lightly, he climbed into the wall behind the ancestral hall, and only stunned remained.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability.
After silently envious, Wang Hu honestly left here and blended into the crowd of onlookers.
This is almost the end of my mission.
Carpenter Zheng, who was standing in the front row of the crowd, had not been very good-looking, although the Dharma in front of him was all in order, and nothing went wrong, but there was still something wrong in his heart.
First, he burned paper money to comfort his ancestors, and then there was a sword dance, and those fake Taoist priests had words in their mouths, which was enough to frighten these countrymen in front of them.
After the process was over, several fake Taoist priests glanced at each other, knowing that the highlight of the day was coming.
"Next, we will ask the ancestors to come up and see if the ancestors have an unfinished explanation!"
The false Taoist priest at the head spoke loudly to make sure everyone present could hear him, and then sat down on a futon arranged in the center of the ancestral hall.
Several other Taoist priests stood around and recited the incantation in unison.
And the two grandfathers and grandsons of the carpenter on the left, who had been kneeling in front of the tablet, also got up at this time, with a respectful look, standing behind this group of Taoist priests, facing the villagers.
Please go first?
As soon as he heard these words, Carpenter Zheng's eyebrows jumped, and the sense of crisis in his heart was even worse!
Before he could react, the Taoist priest sitting in the middle suddenly shook his whole body, closed his eyes tightly, and spoke in an old-fashioned tone.
"Xiao Zuo, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still think about being a teacher, and I feel very relieved to be a teacher!"
At this opening, not only Carpenter Zheng, but even the village chief who was a little closer to them was stunned.
This tone is too similar to the master of the two back then!
Almost subconsciously, the village chief and other people who had seen Master Zuo Carpenter back then instantly believed that it was really the ancestors who were present.
Only Carpenter Zheng was shocked, but he was still a little skeptical.
Even if he had actually seen the supernatural phenomenon last night, he was still skeptical, but more of a panic.
If it was really the ancestors, then the lie I told back then would not be able to keep it!
"Master, it's a disciple who is not filial! In the past 20 years, I have not been able to offer incense to your old man's house, and it has dragged on for so many years!"
The carpenter on the left knelt on the ground, crying like a complaint, and the old tears were all over the place.
At least in the eyes of the villagers, it is a true expression, and they all sigh for it.
In addition to sighing, it is inevitable that I am still a little scared, after all, this scene is a bit challenging to people's psychology.
"Alas! The teacher knows that you are for a reason, and he never blames you. It's your junior brother who is ignorant that will cause you to be like this!"
The fake Taoist priest who seemed to be on the body of the ancestors spoke in a loud voice, and the villagers in the front row could listen to it.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd began to commotion, and they all turned their eyes to Carpenter Zheng in front.
After the fermentation of yesterday's haunting, almost every family in the village heard about the events of that year, and also understood the love and hatred between the two brothers.
People love gossip, especially what happens around them.
Hearing the words of the Taoist priest, even the village chief couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Carpenter Zheng with some suspicion.
In fact, he knew about the events back then, but he didn't interfere.
In the final analysis, this is just a family matter, and he can't manage too much as a village head.
It's just that everyone was on Carpenter Zheng's side at that time, which made the village chief believe his words.
After so many years, this matter has been buried in the dust of history, and now that it is mentioned, everyone has a new comment.
The villagers who are now gathered outside, although they have a little respect for Carpenter Zheng in their hearts, they will not blindly trust him like the villagers before.
At this time, yesterday, Ye Hao instructed Zuo Carpenter to distribute rice and noodles, and the effect of buying people's hearts was immediately apparent.
Carpenter Zheng can only be said to be highly respected in the village, and he is a carpenter who is famous for his craftsmanship, and he can be polite in front of people.
But compared to a person who really brings benefits to the villagers, his respect is too much to count, and everyone can't help but favor Carpenter Zuo a few points.
There is no way, people's emotions will always be affected by external things.
Back then, Carpenter Zheng was able to rely on his remarks that reversed black and white, so that everyone blamed Carpenter Zuo.
Today, Carpenter Zuo can use some favors to make everyone believe in himself more.
"I actually don't blame the junior brother, he was young and ignorant at the time, I, the senior brother, let him be."
Carpenter Zuo said in a very generous tone, and listening to it made people feel that he was a good person.
But Carpenter Zheng outside was furious, and his eyes widened and he looked at Carpenter Zuo in the room.
If it weren't for this face that was seven or eight points similar to the one in his memory, he would even wonder if the other party was his upright senior brother!.
What is the personality of the other person? That's the irritable temper that can start to quarrel with people.
Now that I can say such things in public, could it be that I am dreaming?!
"Who the hell are you?! Don't use the banner of my senior brother to deliberately smear me!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Carpenter Zheng stood up from the crowd and stared at Carpenter Zuo in the house.
If he doesn't make a sound and lets the other party finish this scene, then his reputation will be completely ruined!
But who knows, what the other party is waiting for is the opportunity that he can't sit still!
"You rebel! If you do something wrong, you dare to use strong words?! Today I will show you what kind of person you are!"
