When Li Duoyu came to the Mazu Temple on Meizhou Island, he was still a little unfamiliar, because it was a bit different from the ancestral temple in his memory.

Now it's like Dantan Island, full of stones, and there are only two temples.

And at this time, there is no statue of the goddess of the sea, and the whole hill looks bare.

In terms of scale, it doesn't seem to be much larger than the Tianhou Temple on Dandan Island, everything looks quite ordinary, but there are many believers who come to worship.

Li Duoyu came to a large stone engraved with "Ascension Monuments", and the staff of the ancestral temple introduced.

This is a thousand years ago, "Mazu" Lin Mo Niang "feathered ascension to heaven" place, in order to commemorate her, everyone in the place where she ascended to heaven to set up a temple to worship her, so the Mazu Temple on Meizhou Island is called the "ancestral temple". ”

At this time, the economy of Meizhou Island may be much worse than that of Dandan Island, as the front line of coastal defense.

There is almost no investment, the infrastructure is very poor, and even their dock is much worse than that of Dandan Island.

However, it seems that in the past two years, the staff of the ancestral temple, in addition to receiving them, also received those tourists in suits and leather shoes.

Those tourists are full of curiosity about everything here, especially after seeing their large army coming, they directly pick up their cameras to take pictures of them.

After seeing the camera, the male compatriots in the team were full of curiosity and showed an embarrassed smile.

The female comrades who could carry the lanterns were much shy, and when they looked at the camera, they were a little embarrassed, and some turned around directly.

When he heard their accents just now, Li Duoyu had already guessed where they were from, and it stands to reason that at this time, they couldn't come over.

didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to say hello, probably because he saw Li Duoyu walking in front with the incense burner.

These people asked curiously, "There are so many of you, is this what kind of ritual is this?" ”

"Divide the soul into the incense."

As soon as Li Duoyu said this, they instantly understood: "I see, Mazu Niangniang from our overseas province hasn't come to the incense for many years." ”

"I'll learn from you, is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Seeing that they were also accompanied by the staff of the ancestral temple, Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"This, I don't know very well, it is recommended to find the staff here in the ancestral temple, he is more familiar than us."

The staff hurriedly answered: "Mr. Lin, let me introduce you to you." ”

When listening to the introduction of the staff, Li Duoyu learned that this year was originally the 999th anniversary of Mazu's ascension to heaven, and next year will be exactly 1000 years.

And these believers from overseas provinces came to step on the spot in advance, intending to fulfill their long-cherished wish to visit the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island when Mazu feathered and ascended for a thousand years.

Although there is almost no dialogue between the two sides of the strait, this kind of cultural inheritance and people-to-people ties cannot be interrupted.

After Li Duoyu's incense ceremony, he didn't expect to meet those believers from overseas provinces at the pier.

When the other party learned that the dazzling white fishing boat belonged to Li Duoyu, he was also very surprised.

"Where did you buy this ship, it looks like it was imported from an island country."

In the face of compatriots in overseas provinces, Li Duoyu did not hide it, and directly told them about catching big tuna and giving away fishing boats.

The other party gave a thumbs up on the spot and exclaimed: "It's really amazing, I have also caught tuna, but the largest one is only more than 200 catties." ”

In the process of chatting with the other party, Li Duoyu learned that the other party did not come by boat directly.

There was an impassable middle line, and in order to reach the Mazu Temple, they first made a detour to Ryukyu, and then came all the way from Qingdao under the pretext that the fishing boat needed to be repaired.

And these people, like them, are also fishermen and fish farmers.

In the 80s, the aquaculture industry in overseas provinces can be said to be very powerful, especially in the shrimp farming industry, it is said that one out of every two grass shrimp imported from island countries comes from overseas provinces.

The other party was also full of curiosity about his eel farming technology, especially when he learned that he exported nearly 60,000 eels last year, his eyes were even more wide-eyed.

"Young man, where did you learn this breeding technique?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I have liked to study eels since I was a child, and I slowly figured it out. ”

This compatriot from the overseas province, although he thought he was bragging, was embarrassed to break it, but still praised: "It's really powerful enough." ”

In this way, the two sides left each other's addresses and contact information.

Lin Youjin said: "This time the time is too rushed, wait for the next trip, I will definitely visit your Dandan Island." ”

"I also want to travel over there, I heard that the scenery over there is very good, when the time comes, let's make tea together."

The two looked at each other and smiled: "I hope that the two sides of the strait can be opened to navigation as soon as possible, and when the time comes, I will invite you to drink good mountain tea." ”

The fishing boat slowly sailed away from Meizhou Island and returned to the pier of Dandan Island in only two hours.

Before the boat docked, there were already many villagers holding incense to welcome the return of Mazu Niangniang.

And after two days of tiring travel, the escort team now just wants to invite Mazu Niangniang back to Tianhou Temple first, and then go home to have a good rest.

The older Chen Huotan and Chen Yuanshan showed even more fatigue, because the whole process was handled by the two of them.

Including docking with the ancestral temple, as well as various details and customs, this trip, Li Duoyu is relatively relaxed, as long as he is responsible for worshipping and throwing the Holy Grail.

But it's only easy for these two days, early tomorrow morning, Mazu Niangniang will officially patrol the whole island of Ambufu.

And as the big head, he has to walk in the front with the incense burner, and it will definitely not be easy.

After placing Mazu Niangniang in the original position of Tianhou Temple, it stands to reason that Li Duoyu, the big head, will continue to guard the temple.

Lao Li knew that he was too tired for the past two days, so he came to keep vigil for him.

Li Duoyu finished everything, and when he got home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Tutu had already gone to bed.

Zhou Xiaoying brought him a basin of hot water: "Are you tired, hurry up and take a bath." ”

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "It's okay, how can you be tired of helping Mazu Niangniang do things." ”

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned, and her thoughts instantly returned to three years ago, and it was also in this place, at that time, Li Duoyu, who was keen on smuggling, did not say so.

"If Mazu was so powerful, there wouldn't be so many fishermen."

Zhou Xiaoying loosened his shoulders,

However, at this time, Li Haoran still wanted to steal dried fish, but was discovered by Chen Huiying.

"If you eat meat, you won't be able to go into battle tomorrow and join the patrol team."

Little Fat Dun said weakly: "Grandma, I didn't eat it, I just sniffed it, we have been vegetarian for so many days, and we don't even have meat and oil, so I always feel that I can't eat enough." ”

"You can't smell it."

After Li Duoyu lay on the bed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already early in the morning of the next day.

This time, because it was a joint venture between the two villages, there were a lot of teams on patrol, and many routes were added.

Not only do you have to walk every road in the two villages, but you also have to go to Li Duoyu's eel factory, as well as the new wharf in Beilanling, and even the "big windmill".

It is no exaggeration to say that the route of this patrol is the longest in the history of Dandan Island, and it is estimated that it will take 20 kilometers to complete the whole tour, and it is estimated that it will take a whole day.

And the most difficult are those who have to carry the portable shrine, this time the brother-in-law, Li Qingguang, Li Shuguang, and Li Yuanguang were also called to carry the portable shrine.

If the sedan chair man is tired, he can be replaced at any time, but Li Duoyu does not have this kind of treatment, as the big head, he must lead the team to the whole journey.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The next day.

Before dawn, bursts of gongs and drums converged towards the Tianhou Temple from all directions of Xiasha Village.

Some of the people in Chenjia Village came by tractor, and some simply drove a boat over.

The villagers gathered at the gate of Tianhou Temple early in the morning to watch the excitement, and Li Duoyu shouted loudly:

"If you didn't participate, let's let me go a little, this time there are more people, and the scene is more chaotic."

However, the sound of the gong is not the signal for the start of the patrol, the real signal for the start is the sound of the earth cannon.

This is a kind of folk earthen cannon, only a short section, generally only used during the temple fair, intended to remove the filth of the Quartet.

This thing is slightly modified, and with a round pipe, it will immediately turn into a powerful firebolt.

With the sound of iron cannons exploding, the Mazu patrol officially began, and the entire team added up to at least more than 300 meters.

It's almost eight o'clock in the morning.

A grandmother wearing a Mazu costume took out the soft-bodied Mazu statue that went to the Mazu temple for incense.

Then put it in the portable shrine, put it upright, and arrange the statue of the god, and put the phoenix robe and phoenix crown neatly dressed.

Followed by.

Li Duoyu inserted three incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the statue, and the other two big-headed families also inserted them separately.

Miaozhu shouted:

"I respectfully ask Mazu to get off and patrol the whole island of Ambufu."

With a "clang" sound.

The big gong sounded.

Li Duoyu, who was dressed in the service of the big head family in the front row, held an incense burner in one hand and a sword in the other, and began to walk around.

Behind him are the god puppet clairvoyant and the general Shunfeng Ear, who are the left and right protectors of Mazu's side.

On the day of the patrol, as a pioneer, he had to wear thirty or forty pounds of puppets all the way and accompany the patrol team to complete the journey.

Next are the two golden lions, which were invited from other places by the Tianhou Temple, and their skills are quite good, and they will blink their eyelids and dance in various postures with the sound of gongs and drums behind them.

After that, there is the waist drum team and the Niang umbrella team of Chenjia Village.

The most striking thing is that 36 fisherwomen in Mazu costumes from the two villages surround the statue of Mazu Niangniang, some carrying lamps and some holding flower baskets.

In the team, there are many children carrying the order flag, Li Haoran is also here, and his order flag is different from others.

The other children all have triangular colored flags, but his flag is rectangular with a golden dragon embroidered on it, and the words "Our Lady of Heaven" are embroidered on it.

There are only two flags in the whole team, and the responsibility is relatively heavy, Li Duoyu said: Good flags can be left to you, but you must go through the whole process.

Li Haoran, who only wanted a good flag, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and agreed with his mouth.

At the beginning, the little chubby dun was still taking heroic steps, walking out of the majestic feeling, with a face written: My flag is different from yours.

But the patrol team has been walking, every road in the village has to go, and when they have to go to Chenjia Village and Beilanling, Xiao Fat Dun is completely panicked.

Li Duoyu's new family courtyard, Zhou Xiaoying held Xiao Tutu, Chen Huiying led Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun, and there was a table of eight immortals at the entrance of the courtyard, on which an incense burner was placed, as well as tributes, most of which were vegetarian dishes and biscuits.

As the earthen cannon exploded, they already knew that the patrol team had arrived, and as the cannon sounded closer and closer.

The boss Zhang Lin said excitedly: "I saw my uncle." ”

"Clairvoyance, come with the wind."

Li Duoyu, who was holding an incense burner, led the team towards his door, and Li Duoyu grinned at them.

And when the two dancing lions saw this different house, they danced very interestingly.

Chen Huiying stuffed a red envelope for the two lion dancers, and this is also one of the income of the lion dance team.

If they go to a wealthy and generous village and dance lions, they can earn a lot of money in a month.

In addition to the lion dance, the waist drum team and the women's umbrella team also performed seriously in front of Li Duoyu's new home.

Even when he passed through Li Duoyu's new home with the Mazu shrine, he obviously slowed down a lot, and Miaozhu stopped and said a lot of obedient words, and this is the unique benefit of the big head family.

Every time they say a good word, A-Niang and Zhou Xiaoying have to shout "Okay", and in the obedient words of the temple wishes, in addition to the blessings of "peace and wealth", there are also blessings such as "I wish you to give birth to a boy".

Zhou Xiaoying didn't know how to pick it up, and A-Niang shouted with joy on her face: "Okay." ”

It was almost half past one in the afternoon.

Only then did the patrol team visit Xiasha Village, and even went to the eel factory with Li Duoyu.

The team took a break at Dantandao Elementary School and had lunch here.

The little chubby dun walked limping, and he walked for four hours with the flag in a row, but he actually had a blister.

When he finished eating the noodles and was about to take a break, the leading uncle actually started to leave again.

"Time is running out, keep going."

Next, the patrol team set off to Chenjia Village, which was also a thorough walk on every road and every household.

Finally, I went to the new pier and circled around the four big fans that had not yet been installed.

By the time Mazu Niangniang returned to Tianhou Temple, it was already dark, and the ceremony was still not over, as well as the village elders and the council of Chenjia Village.

gathered in the Tianhou Temple, knelt down to worship Mazu Niangniang, and finally had to shout some prayers in the temple.

Pray for the fishermen of Dantan Island to go to sea safely, their families to be happy and joyful, and to bless the kelp harvest

The people who came to participate in this feast were not only from Dandan Island, but also from Langqi Island and Shangqi Village.

Most of them came to join in the fun, and some came to Dandan Island to worship Mazu.

When they saw the people on Dandan Island, they couldn't help but feel sad after celebrating happily.

Especially Langqi Island, their island also used to have a Mazu temple.

It's a pity that in those unspeakable ten years, their Mazu Temple failed to survive, the inheritance of more than 200 years was broken, everything was destroyed, and even the statues of gods were used as firewood.

And this made them quite guilty, and they didn't even have the face to go to the ancestral temple and invite a body to come back, if they wanted to worship Mazu, they either drove directly to the ancestral temple, or they came directly to Dandan Island to worship.

The day of the Lantern Festival.

Mazu Niangniang patrols Ambu Fu Dandan Island, and Dandan Island welcomes tourists from all over the world.

I don't know who released the news, this time the patrol, not only Secretary Chen Shulin and they came.

Even Chen Yuan and Zhao Jialu also came together, but unfortunately Li Duoyu, as the big leader, had to follow the team throughout the whole process, and there was no way to greet them, so the family could only take care of them.

But even on such an important day, the second brother Li Yaoguo and his father-in-law Zhu Jianmin, as well as Chen Wenchao, were all guarding the eel factory.

At present, this stage is eel farming, which is a more critical stage, which needs to be carefully cared for and cannot tolerate any loss.

As a result, none of them participated in this patrol.

The other is that there are too many people outside the island in the past two days, and many people are coming to the eel factory.

They had already stopped many strangers who were "lost" and wanted to visit the eel factory, but after seeing Zhu Jianmin with a sideways face, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take another half a step forward.

There were even strangers who picked up their cameras and took candid pictures near the eel factory.

At the beginning, the second brother stopped it once or twice, but it was useless to think about it, and learning half a bucket of water was the most pitiful.

Maybe it will be the same as the Haixin eel factory, and when the time comes, it will only lose more. (End of chapter)
