The belief of Mrs. Xian in the folk of Qiongdao is very strong.

According to statistics, there are more than 400 Lady Sin temples on the island, with a population of 8 million, of which 30% are worshippers.

Especially in the countryside of northern Qiong, many of the main temples are dedicated to Mrs. Xian.

It's a local specialty.

Because even Mrs. Xian's hometown, Gaoliang Mansion, has never had such a grand occasion.

Some places will be called the lord of the mountain or the lord of the mountain.

This is a custom passed down by the slang people in ancient times, when several villages were one mountain, and the leader was the lord of the mountain, and later changed to the name of the god worshipped.

Whether it is the public period or the military slope festival, it is quite a lively existence for the people of Qiongdao.

Especially in the Qiongbei area, where the two festivals are one.

In addition to traveling to the country, they will also eat and drink, and the whole territory will have fun.

As a festival mainly dedicated to Mrs. Xian Tai, the Junpo Festival is usually placed in the first month, but in order to make the villages and towns as staggered as much as possible, so that they are not crowded together, some villages will also be lined up on other days, which leads to the fact that from the first month to November, there are Junpo public schedules.

It was only because of the preparations for the New Year in December and the many affairs that the rest was suspended.

And the Junpo Festival in Huangzhu Town is scheduled in August.

Like most villages, the realm lord of Huangzhu Wanyingtang is also Mrs. Xian, and the accompanying people are civil and military generals from all walks of life.

Most of these civil and military officials are local gods, some of them are ancestors of various families, and some of them don't even know their names.

In addition to this, there were realm masters from other realms who came to help.

Many statues of gods are lined up on the public case, and small flags are made of red paper and black characters, indicating that they are the master of XX village or the lord of the village.

These vary in size, some small ones are only 20 centimeters, and some large ones are 60 or 70 centimeters, so it is easy to distinguish which one is the main worship and which is the companion.

It's normal to have a lot of repetitions.

Needless to say, such as Emperor Huaguang, Emperor Guan Sheng, Emperor Kang, and Land Gong, there is no need to mention the local Marshal Tian Gong, General You Tian, King Gao, General Huang, Handsome Lady and so on.

It can be said that except for their respective surnames and ancestors, the other gods are almost the same.

However, today's public military slope does not seem to be very smooth.

……

Generally, there will be several more dangerous projects on the military slope during the official period.

For example, wearing a rod (i.e., piercing arrows) and crossing a volcano (i.e., crossing a sea of fire).

Wearing a cane is also commonly known as a descending child, a beggar, and the local people call it descending to the public.

Crossing the volcano and crossing the sea of fire on the other side of the river mean the same thing, both of which are walking over the red-hot charcoal pile.

The problem lies in the volcano.

Generally speaking, a hot charcoal fire will not burn as long as you step on it fast enough, unless you accidentally let the charcoal fire run into the toes.

Anyone who walks through knows it.

By the time the charcoal fire was burning, the young lads were already eager to try, and it was a very long-faced thing for them.

And those who dare not participate, hide behind the crowd and watch, thrilling and exciting.

But what people didn't expect was that the three young people who stepped on the charcoal fire first, as soon as they stepped on it, they all screamed in unison, and staggered as fast as they could, almost crawling away from the charcoal fire, and fell to the side, how embarrassed and embarrassed they were.

They all trembled like chaff, their expressions were painful, and they were completely devoid of their previous excitement.

This frightened everyone, and the cheers just now came to an abrupt end.

"What's going on?"

Fu Quan, Chen Yao and several other responsible persons hurriedly surrounded him and asked.

One of the young men had a distorted face in pain, and he trembled and lit up the soles of his feet, only to see that they were already covered with blood blisters, and their skin had been scalded, and their flesh was blurred.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

Hiss, how is that possible?!

If you want to say that this is stepping into a red-hot iron plate and being burned, some people believe it, the problem is that stepping into a pile of coals can be scalded like this?

You must know that the custom of volcanoes has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is like this every year, but I have never heard of anyone being injured like this, at most, it is scalded by Mars and has a small blister.

This blurred appearance of flesh and blood is really terrifying.

"Hurry up to the health center!"

Fu Quan didn't dare to delay.

Hurriedly named a few men, and hurriedly carried the injured three people into the car and sent them to the town health center.

Being troubled like this, this volcano can't go on.

No one dared to step forward again.

Fu Quan's expression was solemn, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and shouted: "Bring a piece of raw pork, bring the pork skin." ”

Raw pork was brought quickly.

Fu Quan stood by the charcoal fire and placed the pork on the footprints of the young men just now.

Multiply!

As soon as it was put up, a puff of oil smoke rose from the charcoal fire, and the side where the pork came into contact with the charcoal fire turned blackened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fu Quan was shocked, and hurriedly lifted the pork, only to see that the pigskin was already charred and black, and when he made the buckle meat, it was not so exaggerated to burn it with a flamethrower.

The question is......

The charcoal underneath doesn't look like it's burning yet!

"Something is wrong! Something is definitely not right! ”

Fu Quan's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, the temperature of this charcoal fire was at least several times the normal temperature, but there seemed to be no problem on the outside.

Even when he put his palm on the charcoal fire and tried it up close, he didn't feel how hot it was.

He remembered that the charcoal used here was no different from before, and there was even a lot of charcoal that was only lit at the bottom, and the top half had not been burned yet.

It's so weird!

"Uncle Yao—"

He set his eyes on Chen Yao, who was the oldest of the several people.

However, Chen Yao couldn't be sure, his face was solemn, he had lived for decades, and it was the first time he had seen this situation.

Of course, he had some guesses in his heart, but it was hard to say.

It's like there's something evil going on.

However, crossing the volcano is under the banner of the blessing of the grandfather and grandmother, and there are evil people making trouble, doesn't it mean that the gods no longer bless Huangzhu Town?

Categorically not!

So he muttered, "Throw the cup." ”

After speaking, take out the cocoon cup.

Facing everyone's eyes, the first time, the yin cup!

The second time, it's still a yin cup!

Chen Yao: "......"

He didn't dare to roll a third time.

This is completely different from the previous cup toss.

What the hell is going on?

Everyone present was silent, and an unusually dignified atmosphere began to permeate.

The crossing of the volcano can only be hastily ended and the next step begins.

……

And the other side.

Several people who were responsible for taking the wounded to the hospital drove into the health center and parked it, then carried the wounded out of the car and hurriedly rushed into the outpatient building of the health center.

"Doctor! Nurse! ”

only to find that no one responded.

The whole hospital was eerily quiet.

You must know that although there are not many people who come to see the doctor in the town health center, there is no shortage of employees, and there will be people on duty on the first floor to register and charge for medicine.

It's a working day.

What's going on?

Faced with this situation, everyone raised their voices: "What about people? Is there anybody? There are wounded, come and help! ”

The sound echoed through the empty building.

There was still silence, and no one answered.

This situation and this scene can't help but make people's hearts hairy and think of some bad things.

They can't be in the wrong place, right?

The problem is, this is indeed the town health center!

Everyone looked at each other.

"Forget it, maybe no one goes to work today, let's go to another hospital." It was proposed.

Others said yes.

However, when he turned his head to look behind him, he found that several other people had disappeared at some point.

Well?!

What's going on?

Didn't they just come in together?

They carried a wounded person for each of them, and two or three others followed to help, almost ten people, but now there are inexplicably fewer than a few.

Now everyone senses that something is wrong.

Even the injured young man stopped humming and chirping, but felt that this place was very cold and uncomfortable, as if something was secretly staring at him.

"Brother Guang?"

"Amin?"

Someone in the team tentatively called out to the two men, but neither responded.

The palms of the people began to sweat, and the mouth and tongue were dry. In broad daylight, a group of big men were stunned and broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

"Let's go!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone subconsciously carried the wounded and ran out.

"Bang!"

However, before they could run out of the outpatient building, the door on the first floor seemed to be slammed shut by a pair of invisible hands, and the rust on the door shook off, and the light in the building suddenly became dark.

And this gate is so weird that they can't open it no matter how they pull, push, or kick.

The faces of the crowd changed dramatically.

"The phone is out of signal!"

Someone subconsciously took out their mobile phone, only to find that it was not in the service area.

It's not okay to panic now.

It's tricky in broad daylight, it's really grass!

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

At this moment, deep in the corridor behind him, there was a sudden burst of children's laughter.

Everyone turned back in horror, looking at the deep corridor and the dark corners, all of them had numb scalps, and subconsciously clung to the big iron door.

"Don't be afraid! Blessed by the ancestors! ”

Someone forced himself to calm down.

But he didn't believe it.

If Gongzu really blessed, how could such a thing happen? You must know that today is a public period!

"I've hid it, come and find me."

The child's voice sounded again.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the frightened eyes of the people unconsciously became trance-like, and then they all showed smirks and walked towards the depths of the building step by step.

Even the one with the burned soles of his feet ignored the pain in his body and followed the crowd inside.

At this point,

From the outside of the hospital, the original location of the health center has been shrouded in a faint fog.

Passers-by looked as usual, did not look at them more, and did not seem to think that there was anything wrong.

……

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

At the official scene, Fu Quan looked at his mobile phone and frowned.

There was a busy signal on the phone.

"Maybe the phone is silent, I didn't notice it."

Fu Jin next to him interjected, and seeing that he was still frowning, he hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, if there is really something, Ah Guang will make up his mind." ”

But Fu Quan was still a little worried: "I remember that Xingzi also went with him, right?" There is no phone number for him. ”

Fu Jin shook his head: "I didn't add his prestige." Don't worry, maybe Ah Guang will call back later. I really can't do it, I'll go over and have a look. ”

But Fu Quan still felt uneasy, but he couldn't speak, so he had to say: "Forget it, let's do this first." ”

Today is the official military slope, and there are too many things to be busy with.

However, due to the fact that the sea of fire burned people, and Chen Yao's divination was not a good sign, after discussing with Chen Yao and a few others, he decided to simplify and omit some dangerous items.

Hurry up and finish it so that everyone can go home for dinner, so that he can go to the hospital to see how it is.

……

Baitang Village.

Wu Qiang's family invited many relatives to come over for dinner today.

From morning to noon, three tables were set up, and everyone was happy to eat, and the sun began to set in the west, just sending people away one after another.

It's finally time to sit down and take a breath.

His wife, Chen Cuizhen, said that she was going to the orchard to get medicine, and she was afraid that she would not be able to finish it later.

Wu Qiang waved his hand, he didn't care, he was tired enough today.

Although the public period is lively, it is not easy for the host's family at all.

I lay on the solid wood chair for a while before I felt that something was wrong.

What about the son?

Where did you go again?

Usually he jumps up and down at home, but after dinner today, he disappeared, could it be that he was afraid that his relatives would ask him about his recent academic performance, so he ran out and hid, right?

So he called his wife and asked, "Where is my brother?" Is it there for you? ”

Chen Cuizhen said: "No, I am taking medicine in the orchard, how can I take him anywhere, I guess I went to play with other people's children, you ask where it is." ”

Then he hung up.

Although Wu Qiang frowned, he didn't say anything.

In the countryside, it is common for children to go around in the wild, go to other people's homes to watch TV or play with toys and not go home, and it is common for them to shout when it is getting dark.

I'm not worried about being traffickers, after all, I'm already in the second grade of elementary school, and I can already remember, even if people rob children, they won't rob them.

However, in the evening, the sun was about to set, and he didn't see his son come back, so Wu Qiang couldn't sit still.

It's time for dinner, why hasn't this little bastard been seen yet.

You can only look everywhere.

"Brother Yi, is my son here?"

"Ami, have you seen my son?"

"Third aunt, have you seen my son?"

“……”

He went around the whole village, and asked people about the places he usually goes, but he never saw any trace of his son.

"Where did this plague boy go?"

Wu Qiang was so angry that he choked.

At this time, Wu Qiang's son, Wu Zixuan, was hiding in a hollowed-out tree, curled up in a ball, his eyes closed, his expression frightened, and his teeth fighting.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound from the narrow hole overhead.

"Hee-hee-hee, I've found you!"

……

"Ah Guang's phone still can't get through?"

"Not only him, but no one answered Ming Tsai's phone call."

"Uncle Quan said to go and take a look, but there was no news coming back. The hospital gate was locked, and it was already off work. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

“……”

In front of the main temple, more than a dozen people gathered together, everyone had a sad face, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Today's Gongqi Junpo is unusual, and Chen Yao, the oldest person present, has lived for more than 80 years and has never seen this situation.

It doesn't always feel like a good sign.

And it is less than 80 kilometers away from Dingyang Huangzhu Coconut City Civil Branch.

The staff in charge of monitoring the strange signal stared at the screen of the instrument, but did not notice anything wrong.

There was no signal on the screen at all times.

At this time, the residents of Huangzhu Town did not know that a strange disaster had unknowingly befallen them.

Last night's update was blocked, and it was only released in the afternoon, and I didn't expect the card to take so long. Let's talk about another unfortunate thing, I was scratched by a stray cat today, went to get a rabies vaccine, and broke my money......
