At about five o'clock in the morning the next day, Ye Yaodong got up early and went to Tianhou Temple.

And the door of the Tianhou Temple is also very lively, with two cauldrons, two large tables, and a group of villagers who came to have breakfast, everyone laughed and talked about all kinds of gossip after dinner.

The people who come to help today are provided with free meals for the whole day, including free eating and drinking tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

I don't know how good it is, but I can have a full stomach, which is enough, it is impossible to have wages, it all depends on everyone's consciousness, after all, it is to help Mazu Temple.

However, there are many people who volunteer, not only men, but also women and girls, after all, Mazu also needs someone to dress up as a maid and maid to accompany her when she goes on patrol, because Mazu is a woman after all, and the statue moves around, and it needs to rely on the fisherman's wife.

Some people are still sorry because they went to sea, signed up late, and there are no places, after all, they are also doing good deeds, and everyone is very keen to worship God.

At this time, in the two cauldrons, porridge was still cooking, gurgling and bubbling, and the fat man and his father kept stirring with a big spoon.

Ye Yaodong looked around, there were many familiar faces, his father and his two brothers were also here, but they didn't see a few of his friends, they were too lazy.

"Dongzi is here, come and have breakfast, there is still a little bit left under this basin, and you can scrape a small bowl if you scrape it." Father Ye said as he pushed the basin on the table to him.

Ye Yaodong looked down at the basin, and it was indeed only a scraper......

There was only a little soup left, and there was a little rice grain on the edge of the basin, barely enough to scrape half a bowl.

"I'm just waiting to eat the next pot, it's still early anyway, so I'm not in a hurry."

"It's okay, I'll help you scratch it, eat a little first, and wait for the next pot to come out before loading." An enthusiastic villager next to him picked up the basin with one hand, took his bowl again, and helped him scrape it.

There was a sonorous sound, and he really scraped a small half bowl down, and he was thoughtfully handed to him, "Eat quickly, pad your stomach first, and if the next pot comes out, it will be very hot, and there is no way to eat." ”

People are so enthusiastic, he can't caress the kindness of others, smiled and thanked him, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

Originally, it was also free to eat, and there were no good dishes on the table, only mustard, dried radish, tofu, and peanuts.

Ye Yaodong didn't pick it, picked up the peanut plate and swept a few grains into the bowl, sandwiched a few mustards, and half a bowl of porridge was dried, and then he was like everyone else, waiting there with a rice bowl and chopsticks, and chatting with others by the way.

Men are not as crumpy as women, they are very friendly, and they are smiling and caring about whether there is any loss in the rain during the two days.

When I got into a bowl of porridge, other talents came one after another.

He went to the hall when he was idle, and when he came out, he saw that it was not yet time, so he took advantage of the fact that the fisherman's wife had not bathed and scrubbed Mazu, put on incense, worshipped, and then went to his fox friends to brag and fart.

The people in the village also ran out one after another to see the excitement, and there were more and more people at the door.

When the time was approaching, the person in charge also began to roll call, and after confirming that all the personnel had arrived, he gave a few more words of attention on the road.

He also had people push a cart of several baskets of light cakes over, and one person gave out a string of light cakes for everyone to hang around their necks, so that they could take one to nibble on when they were hungry.

There is definitely no way to eat outside at noon, so you can only use this as a snack to cushion your stomach, and you can only eat when you come back in the afternoon.

This is similar to when General Qi Jiguang was fighting, the soldiers wore light cakes around their necks, which had the same effect, and the light cakes originally came from this way.

The person in charge kept saying that he would stop when the hour came, and then set off firecrackers, and the blessing ceremony began in the hall, and the suona team at the door heard the sound of firecrackers and began to blow, and the scene looked more lively.

And the fisherman's wife also began to bathe and change clothes for Mazu, and the travel line also began to line up, and after Mazu bathed and changed, she could get on the sedan chair directly.

The team on patrol is composed of the top flag, brazier, Tianhou Temple flag, big flag, folk suona team, dragon dance team, Mazu shrine team, maid team, colorful flag team, etc.

The long queue, arranged in order from beginning to end, looks extremely spectacular, not to mention that the village is also willing to spend money, and also invited a dragon dance team, it is estimated that there should be a lot of money left in the donation.

Ye Yaodong stood in his position, that is, around the portable shrine, touching his chin and pondering, thinking so.

At this time, it was almost time to set off, and basically the whole village ran out to watch, some of them crowded into the main hall to watch the blessing ceremony, and some of them couldn't squeeze in to watch the excitement outside.

The lively scene is more than the New Year, more than Mazu's birthday.

Everyone was in their places, and they were all beaming with joy on their faces.

After the fisherman's wife came out to report the news, Ye Yaodong and the eight young adults also lifted the shrine and walked to the door of the old site of Mazu, waiting for the fisherman's wife to take out the statue of Mazu and send it to the sedan chair.

As soon as the blessing ceremony in the main hall is over, it is also time for Mazu to go out to pray for blessings today.

The firecrackers at the entrance of the main hall crackled all the time, and the team had special firecrackers from beginning to end, and Ah Zheng was also arranged to set off firecrackers today.

is so good that he can't die, he also came to Ye Yaodong's side, holding a string of firecrackers in his hand, pretending to light a fire, deliberately trying to tease him, pretending to throw firecrackers at his feet, and made a false move.

This almost didn't scare Ye Yaodong to death, and he was still carrying a sedan chair.

Fox friends are fox friends and dog friends!

He glared at Ah Zheng viciously: "You are going to die!" I'll settle accounts with you when I'm free! ”

Ah Zheng was not afraid of him with a hippie smile, and took several firecrackers out of the canvas bag he was carrying on his wrist, and shook it a few times, and Ye Yaodong's teeth were itching.

wanted to stretch out his leg and kick him, but he was nimble enough to dodge it.

The two were joking, and the team was moving, and they were about to follow, so the two stopped.

Ye Yaodong was so angry that he said a cruel word, "You wait for me!" ”

Ah Zheng saw that the team began to move around, and there was no fun to play, but he chatted with him seriously.

"Huh? Last night, we saw a lot of people behind us, and after reading the weather forecast, we went back first, and I heard that you drove people out later? ”

"It's not a rush, since the weather forecast says that it won't rain on a cloudy day, then we have to take out those dried squid fish to dry, and the yard has to be dried, so naturally we can't see it." After everyone went out, we also turned off the TV and didn't watch it, and we were busy until 9 o'clock. ”

"Oh, can you still buy that TV so cheap?"

"I just bought a TV and came back, I just took advantage of it, and I'm a little embarrassed to come to the door again and say I want it, why don't you try it yourself?"

"Forget it, what kind of green onion am I, people don't know who I am?"

"Next time, call you next time I have to go."

"Okay, when I went back last time, it was a pity that I didn't bring some good things back, I came back and asked, only to know that we still took a big advantage, my daughter-in-law also asked me to buy a radio, and when I saw your TV, I thought it would be better to buy a TV."

"Hmmm......"

The statue of Mazu sits in a sedan chair behind him, and eight young adults in the village carry the sedan chair, in front of which are the four gongs and drums in the village, followed by a large brazier carried by two people.

Ye Yaodong also happened to come to a stop at the turning intersection before he saw the team emerging in front of him.

He looked at the time and saw that it was only past 8 o'clock in the morning, and at this time they had not yet left the village, and they were still walking and stopping on the main road of the village.

It's so slow, you have to stop from time to time, it really takes a day to walk through the village above Dongshan Village, but fortunately, there are people around you, and it won't be boring to talk and laugh, but your shoulders will definitely suffer.

On the road leading to the entrance of the village, at this time it was also crowded with people from various nearby villages who came to see the excitement, there were few entertainment activities in the countryside, it was rare to follow the singing of the big opera, there was such a big excitement to see, there were basically people who heard about it nearby, everyone was full of excitement, and they were surprised by the prosperous lineup.

The parade team has been going east, and from time to time it will stop for a dragon dance, and on both sides of the procession are villagers who are obsessed with watching the excitement, accompanied by spontaneous accompaniment all the way, and there is a growing trend, and has been following with the Mazu parade.

As soon as I entered the first village next door, there was a very old man, who knelt directly on the side of the road to greet Mazu, and kept bowing, and other old people and villagers also knelt down to greet him.

In an instant, the heads of the people who stirred all lowered, and the crowds on both sides of the village fell to their knees like a tidal wave.

The gong and drum team and the suona team were surprised, but they were also more excited and hardworking, their faces were swollen and red, the gongs and drums that were beaten were even harder, and the suona that was blown was also excited and their hands were shaking.

The villagers didn't know who shouted first, "Mazu bless, the wind and rain are smooth......"

Immediately afterwards, the people around also spontaneously shouted, "Mazu bless, the wind and rain are smooth......"

"Mazu bless, the wind and rain are smooth......"

The atmosphere of the scene gradually rose, and the slogans rose higher and higher.

The other villagers who had spontaneously followed the side to watch the excitement also knelt down collectively with excitement and shouted loudly.

"Mazu bless, the wind and rain are smooth......"

Ye Yaodong watched all the villagers, regardless of men, women, and children, kneeling down to greet him, his face was also surprised, and his heart was also excited, this is the power of faith of the masses!

Their parade and prayer procession was also infected by the power of everyone's faith, and with excited looks on their faces, everyone shouted along with everyone while walking: "Mazu bless, the wind and rain are smooth......

"Mazu bless, the wind and rain are smooth......"

The shouts shook the sky one after another, and the villagers' emotions became higher and higher, their expressions were excited, and their faces were even more fanatical.

Years of faith can only be buried in the bottom of the heart, dare not vent, dare not worship, dare not let people know, because in those years to break the feudal superstition, not to allow the feudal dross to remain.

The newly completed Tianhou Temple in their village can be regarded as carrying the expectations of all fishermen.

After many years, everyone can finally stop burying their beliefs in their hearts all the time.
