Stinky Feet has a very poor relationship with his family, and in the end the only ones who are willing to come to give him his last ride are his parents and a brother.

Because he caught up with Mazu's patrol, he was afraid that he would be affected by the crime, so he could only put his body in the coffin first, and he could not go out of the funeral for the time being.

can only be delayed until after the Lantern Festival, and almost all the people in the village hate stinky feet, and his family does not plan to do things in vain, but to keep everything simple.

The fact that people died like lights going out and stinky feet leaving was soon forgotten by the villagers in the sound of firecrackers.

However, he didn't leave nothing behind, and the biggest contribution of Stinky Feet was that he made the villagers of Xiasha Village understand a truth.

That is, once you are bitten by a dog or a cat, you must go to the "dog injection".

In the past two days, many villagers came to Zhang Defa's health station, saying that they had been bitten by dogs before and wanted to get dog injections.

"You've been bitten by dogs for half a year, and the dog that bit you didn't die, so you should be fine."

"The one that bit me was killed and eaten by me a long time ago, and Dr. Chen said that as long as there is no onset of disease, dog injections are effective."

Zhang Defa had quite a headache, to be honest, he really didn't like that Dr. Chen, he came to their village to play prestige, patted his ass and left, but it brought him a lot of trouble.

How could he have this kind of dog needle in this health station, this thing has to be kept refrigerated, and he has to apply to his superiors.

"I don't have it here, if you want to get it, you can apply for it at the health center in the town, but you have to get at least five shots, and the price is not cheap."

When Zhang Defa said the approximate price of dog injections, many villagers who were clamoring for dog injections finally chose to give up after weighing it.

After Zhang Defa closed the door of the health station, he then took a boat to the school with his bag on his back.

Zhang Defa used to think that he was very interested, and he knew more than his classmates, but after he came into contact with Xiaorong and that Dr. Chen.

He found that he often listened to heavenly books there, and he couldn't interject at all, and sometimes, he even had a delusion.

These two people are very likely to be more powerful than his teacher, which makes him quite helpless, no wonder Xiao Rong will say that if you want to study medicine, it is best to go to the best school to study.

Study hard!

And during this time, the whole island is filled with an indescribable atmosphere, everyone is excited and excited, and there are gongs and drums everywhere.

Because Dandan Island is about to usher in a grand event that has not been held for more than ten years, that is, Mazu Patrol.

Even Dandandao Elementary School postponed the start of school for several days for this event, so that students could participate in it.

The closer to the day of patrolling, the busier Li Duoyu, who is the big head, is busy, and he is busy in the Tianhou Temple almost from morning to night.

Because he is a tool man used to throw the Holy Grail, even now, Li Duoyu is kneeling on the futon, holding the Holy Grail and asking Mazu Niangniang: What time will I go to the ancestral temple tomorrow to pay homage to the ancestors, it is more appropriate.

Threw the Holy Grail many times.

Li Duoyu finally asked for the exact travel time.

At half past five in the morning tomorrow, we will officially set off from the Tianhou Temple on Dandan Island.

Since the Chinese New Year, the Temple has begun to accept donations, and the villagers of Dandan Island seem to prefer to spend money on this area rather than building schools.

Li Duoyu alone donated 5,000 yuan in the name of the company, and other relatives of their family, the uncle, the third uncle, and the elder brother, also added up to 5,000 yuan.

From the start of the donation to the present, in less than ten days, Tianhou Temple has received more than 30,000 donations from believers.

And there is a team dedicated to money management here in Tianhou Palace, and after they got the money, they returned all the money paid by Li Duoyu as soon as possible.

Every expenditure in the entire Tianhou Temple is recorded and publicized, so small that even a pair of candles must be recorded.

Some people may be greedy for other money in the village, but no one dares to think crookedly about the money in the Tianhou Palace.

And people like Li Duoyu who are leaders not only do not want to be greedy for this money, but often post money upside down.

When Li Duoyu bought some small things for the Tianhou Temple, he didn't bother to let the supply and marketing cooperatives issue bills.

After asking the Holy Grail, he learned that he had nothing to do, Li Duoyu ran back to the house on the spot and fell asleep directly.

didn't expect that A-Niang Chen Huiying stayed at his house early and came to supervise him, so that he couldn't eat meat dishes and drink.

Almost at the same time, Lao Mao, who was in charge of broadcasting in the village, broadcast on the village's loudspeaker:

[Villagers, hello everyone, now notify a big thing, our island Tianhou Temple will go to the ancestral temple tomorrow to pay homage to the ancestors, there are villagers who go, tomorrow at four o'clock in the Tianhou Temple to gather lanterns, carry flags, carry sedan chairs.

There is also Mazu Niangniang is a vegetarian, tomorrow when the ancestors enter the incense, everyone should not eat meat dishes, do not eat meat oil, do not drink alcohol, tomorrow early morning, everyone can go to Tianhou Temple for breakfast. 】

[Also, in addition to the villagers who want to pay homage to their ancestors, the villagers of this island should not go out to sea to fish as much as possible in the past two days, and the shrimp and crabs will be our good brothers]

The thirteenth day of the first month.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Li Duoyu had a pair of panda eyes on his head, and gathered at the Tianhou Temple early, and many people were eating breakfast at the scene.

This time, there were about 60 people who went to the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island to pay homage to their ancestors, and there were 30 people in Xiasha Village and Chenjia Village, and the battle was very large.

In addition to adults, many children also come to Tianhou Temple for breakfast, and if the stinky feet are still there, they will inevitably come to eat.

Li Haoran came to have breakfast early: "Uncle, are you patrolling today, then should I go back to get the flag." ”

"Not yet."

Li Duoyu shook his head and said: "Today is not Mazu patrolling, but preparing to go to the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island to pay homage to the ancestors." ”

"What is the incense of the ancestors?"

"This one"

"Look for your father, or ask your grandfather, they know more than me."

Regarding many rules and customs of patrol security, Li Duoyu really doesn't understand.

It was only recently that he heard from the older generation that the Mazu Niangniang on Dandan Island was just the spiritual Mazu of Meizhou Island's golden body.

The division of spirits refers to the construction of a new temple in a place, or when a believer wants to worship a certain god in his own house.

You can go to the Dagong Temple, which has a long history and miraculous miracles, to seek the spiritual power of the gods, and after a special ceremony, the newly sculpted statues of the gods are regarded as the doppelgangers of the ancestral temple gods.

The clone has the same spiritual power, but every once in a while, he has to return to the ancestral temple to make incense and cut fire, so as to maintain his spiritual power.

The Mazu of the Tianhou Temple on Dandan Island was separated from the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island more than 200 years ago, and according to the original custom, it has already gone back to re-enter the incense and cut the fire.

Due to those ten years, the ancestral incense was forced to be interrupted, and I haven't been to the ancestral temple for almost 20 years now.

At about five o'clock, all the villagers who wanted to pay homage to their ancestors had finished breakfast, and everyone had already begun to line up.

Their team is called the incense ritual team, and their main duty is to escort the statue of Mazu to the ancestral temple in Meizhou for incense.

Walking in the front is Li Duoyu, who is wearing a yellow silk ribbon, embroidered on one side [Dandan Island Tianhou Temple incense] and the other end is "Heavenly Mother of Peace".

Holding an old, blackened incense burner in his hand, it is said to be more than 200 years old.

Chen Huotan and Chen Yuanshan, the two deputy leaders, followed behind him, wearing yellow silk ribbons like him.

Further back, there is the fisherwoman with the red light, and she is also the most eye-catching group of people in the incense ceremony team this time.

There are thirty-six people in the lantern women's football team, and Shui Hua and Lin Shanshan, who have been married and had children, are also in this team, and more are young girls who are not married yet.

They all wore uniform Mazu clothes, which can be summed up in one sentence, that is: "The bow of the sailboat, the sea dress, and the red and black pants keep safe." ”

Today, these lantern girls have simple makeup, and their lips have bitten red paper, and they are all dressed up quite beautifully.

The reason why many young men woke up so early was because they came to see this group of lantern women, and many of them were still there.

"I think Chen Xiaoyan of the old Chen family is the best-looking, she is just eighteen this year, and she will be married in two years."

"Teacher Lin is also very good-looking."

Zhao Dahai said with disgust: "Teacher Lin, where is it good-looking, it's too thin, and the body is full of bones, and women still have to be fat." ”

When Zhao Dahai said this, he happened to be heard by the stone, and replied directly on the spot: "It's worthy of breaking shoes, I like Widow Chen's kind of meat." ”

Zhao Dahai did not show weakness: "Stone, you haven't opened the meat yet, you won't understand, when you hit the bone, you will know that it hurts." ”

An old fisherman also agreed with Zhao Dahai's point of view: "That's right, the sea is right, it's too thin, it's really not good." ”

Li Haoran on the side didn't understand what they were talking about at all, and said with emotion: "What are you fighting for, it's my aunt who didn't get on, otherwise it must be the most beautiful." ”

Speaking of Zhou Xiaoying, many men present couldn't help sighing, looking at Li Duoyu at the front of the team, everyone couldn't help but complain.

Zhou Xiaoying can be said to be the only one on Dandan Island, with a white figure and a good figure, neither thin nor fat, and a good temperament, but unfortunately she has long been treated as a child daughter-in-law by Lao Li.

A villager couldn't help but say: "Ma Dan, how do you feel that the good luck of our village is concentrated on Li Duoyu alone." ”

Zhao Dahai nodded and said, "In this way, it seems to be true." ”

An old man, seeing them chatting nonsense, suddenly said seriously: "On this kind of big day, don't talk nonsense, Mazu Niangniang will take it seriously, maybe, directly move all your luck to Director Li." ”

After hearing this, the group of people hurriedly bowed to the idol of Mazu Niangniang and began to admit their mistakes.

The team behind the lantern girl is more than a dozen people carrying the order flag, and in the middle of the team is the one carrying the portable shrine.

Finally, there are believers who carry the shrine, and the shrine is sitting on the solemn statue of Mazu Niangniang, and there are believers holding sun and moon umbrellas on both sides, and there is a believer holding a treasure umbrella behind him.

The gods who went to the ancestral temple to worship incense this time were only Mazu Niangniang, and other gods did not need to go.

Many Tianhou Temples have two statues of Mazu, one is smaller and the other is larger.

The smaller one was invited from the ancestral temple more than 200 years ago, and the whole body is carved in wood.

And this statue of Mazu, the people of the island generally call it the soft body Mazu, patrol or business trips, big and small things, all use this Mazu.

For example, if you want to go to the ancestral temple this time to make incense, you must go by the soft body Mazu, and some villagers also call it Mazu on a business trip.

The other one is a hard statue, which cannot be moved, and is also called the town palace Mazu, but the soft body Mazu is on a business trip.

There is a hard statue, and it will not be when Mazu Niangniang is on a business trip, so that there is no Mazu to worship in Tianhou Palace.

At half past five o'clock, with the sound of firecrackers on the side of the Tianhou Temple, they rang out.

Miao Zhu shouted at the top of his voice:

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the incense ceremony team will set off."

The lanterns held by the fisherwoman were all lit, and Li Duoyu, who was holding an incense burner, slowly walked in front.

The incense ceremony team slowly walked in the direction of the pier, and along the way, there were villagers who continued to bow down to the statue of Mazu Niangniang who left the palace.

On the other side of the wharf, a large number of villagers gathered, including those from Xiasha Village and Chenjia Village.

But everyone didn't get in the way, but consciously got out of the way.

This time I went to Meizhou Island, and Dandan Island prepared a total of four boats, namely Li Duoyu's fishing boat, which was used as a card and was responsible for transporting the Mazu statue.

There are also tugboats of Li Niantian and Li Zhengfa, as well as the passenger boat on the island that goes to and from Qingkou Wharf.

The ship was covered with flags all around, and it looked like an ancient warship.

After all the members of the incense ceremony team boarded the fishing boats, the continuous sound of firecrackers exploded on the pier.

It was also at this time that brilliant red lights appeared in the eastern sky.

The old fisherman couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The time is just right, it really counts the time." ”

The four fishing boats also headed in the direction of Meizhou Island, and the fishermen who had boats on the island also drove their own fishing boats and followed the four boats for about ten minutes.

The fishing boats stopped following them, and everyone watched the four boats leave, and then they all returned to the island.

It takes about two hours to drive from Dandan Island to Meizhou Island.

However, it is not something you want to go to the ancestral incense, you can go, these must be discussed with the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island in advance.

Li Duoyu has also been busy recently, and these things have been done by Chen Huotan and Chen Yuanshan.

In the next trip, Li Duoyu was even more confused, it turned out that they did not go directly to the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island.

Instead, I first came to the ancestral shrine of the Queen of Heaven in Xianlianggang, and listened to Chen Huotan talk that it also involved the dispute between Xianlianggang and the birthplace of Mazu on Meizhou Island.

It's been arguing for many years, but for people like them, who come to make incense, it doesn't make much sense where Mazu's birthplace is.

If both of you are fighting, then it would be nice to both of you.

In ancient times, Xianlianggang was the only wharf leading to Meizhou Island, and pilgrims from all over the world must first hold a ceremony to pay homage to their ancestors in the ancestral shrine of Tianhou in Xianlianggang, and then take a boat to Meizhou Mazu Temple to ask for incense.

Dandan Island still respects the customs of ancient times, and the spirit of Dandan Island's Mazu first came to Xianlianggang Tianhou Ancestral Temple to stay for one night.

The next day, at dawn.

Then cross the sea from Xianlianggang Wharf to Meizhou Ancestral Temple to enter the incense, and complete the incense ceremony, and the whole ceremony will take two days at the earliest.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that when they held the ceremony, there were many people in suits who were filming everywhere with cameras.

And listen to the accent, not like a local, speaking Hokkien dialect, but not pronouncing Hokkien, giving people the feeling that it is more.

(This chapter has checked a lot of information, resulting in a late update, there are too many customs about Mazu, if there is a difference, it will be based on your side.) (End of chapter)
