10: "Red Date Village"
The little girl ran to Mo Zhenzhen's side and stopped, glanced at Mo Zhenzhen up and down, tilted her head and asked Mo Zhenzhen.
"Little sister, where are you from?"
Mo Zhenzhen was silent, hesitated for a moment and did not speak, but lowered her head and made a self-contained appearance.
The little girl held the windmill and circled around Mo Zhenzhen twice, her eyes went from doubt to confusion, and then there was a smile on her face again.
"Oh, you're that Ah Zhen from the Da Niu family, you've grown so big!"
Mo Zhenzhen felt that something was wrong with what the little girl said, but she didn't show it, but continued to put on a scared appearance.
After 'recognizing' Mo Zhenzhen, the little girl took a few steps back to widen the distance between herself and Mo Zhenzhen, waved the windmill in her hand and asked as if casually.
"Ah Zhen, it's so late, where are you going?"
Mo Zhenzhen lowered her head and bent over, and said in a snort.
"The wall, the wall is down, I want to find some yellow mud to make up for it."
"The wall is down?" The little girl seemed to be stunned, and then remembered to say.
"Oh oh, that wall of your house is down, isn't it, it's a big deal, but why isn't your father busy? I heard you're going to marry that old bachelor in the village? Your father and mother are really ruthless. ”
Mo Zhenzhen didn't speak, but just squeezed the handle of the big basket with both hands, and her appearance made the little girl look a little unbearable.
"Okay, don't be upset." The little girl obviously didn't know how to comfort people, and after a pause, she could only remind: "Be careful when you go to the river, it's getting dark now, if you can't finish it before dark, go to the ancestral hall first and ask the two door gods to go home and stick to the door, don't go out when the sun sets, you haven't got a family yet, don't mess with the filth outside." ”
Ancestral temple? ……
It turns out that there is an ancestral hall in this seemingly dilapidated village......
Mo Zhenzhen lowered her head and thought silently, and the little girl didn't stay long after saying this, waved the windmill in her hand, and ran away with the five or six children behind her.
Just like these children suddenly appeared, their voices disappeared abruptly after a few breaths.
Mo Zhenzhen raised her head and looked sideways behind her.
Behind her was the silent village, and the afternoon sun shone obliquely, and there was no one's silence between light and shadow.
……
Mo Zhenzhen went to the river to dig a basket of yellow mud.
Mo Zhenzhen's strength is not what it used to be, don't look at her thinness, her actual strength is comparable to that of a man in the prime of life who is used to doing farm work.
This should be a benefit of identity playing, her appearance has been adjusted by unknown forces, and her body has also been somewhat optimized, and I think other players should do the same.
A large basket of yellow mud was fifty catties, and Mo Zhenzhen didn't even breathe and transported the yellow mud home.
Pouring the yellow mud into the courtyard, Mo Zhenzhen touched her abdomen, which was a little smaller, and after thinking about it, she still held the dirty basket to cover it, and went to the ancestral hall with her feet.
The ancestral hall in this village is on the west side of the village, and the ancestral tomb of the village is behind the ancestral hall.
Mo Zhenzhen came over dirty, stood outside the ancestral hall, and first took a careful look at the lintel.
Unlike some of the houses that have been converted into brick houses, this ancestral hall is still a wooden structure, which looks like it should be some years old, and the style of construction is relatively retro.
However, the ancestral hall is old and old, but it is well maintained, not only can it not be seen at all, but it has a sense of solemnity.
Mo Zhenzhen's body was full of yellow mud marks, and in the face of the confined black lacquer door, she looked a little timid and overwhelmed on her face, but in fact, she was secretly thinking about it in her heart.
Just as she hesitated for a moment and turned to leave, the closed black door suddenly opened from the inside!
Mo Zhenzhen was 'startled' by the suddenly opened door, took two steps back, and then bent over with her head down, a pair of dirty hands pinching the handle of the basket, like a frightened bird, as if she would be frightened and run away at any time.
The door was opened by an old man in a black Tang suit, his hair was gray and red, although he looked thin but had a calm air, and a circle of small sandalwood prayer beads was wrapped around his left wrist, looking at Mo Zhenzhen with scrutiny.
Mo Zhenzhen is really embarrassed now, and she is cowardly enough, and she doesn't look like an aggressive villain, so the old man first examined, and after looking at it for a while, he put away a slightly sharp scrutiny, and asked in a cold tone.
"It's Li Azhen, what are you doing in the ancestral hall?"
Mo Zhenzhen was silent, stuck in the old man's impatience and said cowardly.
"Home, the wall of the house is down, I think, I want to ask the door god."
The old man looked at the yellow mud rubbed on Mo Zhenzhen's body again, and immediately understood.
"Where's your father? Why don't they come on their own? ”
Although the old man was asking, he also let go of his body and let Mo Zhenzhen come in first.
Mo Zhenzhen stood at the door of the ancestral hall and hesitated uncomfortably, while hesitating, carefully rubbing the soles of the yellow mud.
The old man saw Mo Zhenzhen's small movements, he didn't look at it a second time, but said when he turned around.
"Come in, it's okay."
After hearing this, Mo Zhenzhen cautiously stepped through the open door of the ancestral hall and quietly looked at the ancestral hall behind the old man.
When you enter the courtyard gate of the ancestral hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the hanging plaques.
Champion and first, hussar general, great good family, full of loyalty, honorary mayor......
These plaques are not only a single one, but three or two or three, such as Jinshi, Bangyan, Tanhua, Doctor and other smaller plaques can only be hung in a more corner position.
Standing in such an ancestral hall, if she is really Li Azhen, she must be proud and glorious when she thinks about it.
Mo Zhenzhen did so.
Since entering the door of the ancestral hall, she seems to be less restrained and uneasy.
The old man glanced back at the little girl, and her cold eyes seemed to be a little gentle.
"You wait here, I'll go and ask God."
The old man's sudden voice made Mo Zhenzhen 'startled', she hurriedly lowered her head again, and nodded in a panic as if she had answered.
But when the old man was about to go inside, he stumbled open.
"I, I, my brother is back, can I go and put incense on my ancestors? My brother is going to take the college entrance examination......"
What should you do to integrate into a village with ancestral halls and the vast majority of the villagers are people with the same surname?
Trying to play the character of the original owner without making mistakes? Mo Zhenzhen felt that it was not enough.
Legally speaking, only a family can be counted as a relative if it is recorded in a household register, and if it is not in a household register, even if the other party is your father, you have to issue many written certificates to prove that the other party is your father.
Not to mention just a person from a village.
Mo Zhenzhen has filmed Republic of China dramas, although it was Su Zhenzhen who really filmed, but she had read the script, and she also dealt with some other things, and she also had some understanding of clan culture.
I came to the ancestral hall just to see if I could get in, but now that she has entered the ancestral hall, of course she has to knock her identity more firmly.
The old man glanced back at Mo Zhenzhen again, he seemed to be looking and puzzled, but the old man finally did not embarrass Mo Zhenzhen, who was embarrassed, but nodded.
"Go ahead." After thinking about it, the old man added. "Your brother has a father, and his father and mother will ask him for his future. I heard you're getting married...... Go and burn incense to your ancestors, and they will bless you. ”
