"This is leaving?"

Mu Sanqian called Su Xuan early in the morning to say goodbye to Grandma first, how to say that his life was snatched back from Grandma from Lord Yama.

"Yes, Grandma, we've been disturbing for so long, and I still have something to rush to Yuhang. ”

"Can't you stop leaving, Brother Xiaomu?"

The stone followed Mu Sanqian all day long, and regarded Mu Sanqian as his brother early in the morning, and when he heard that the two of them were leaving, he was naturally reluctant, and his voice was crying.

"Or just stay for two more days, it just so happens that the winter festival in our village is coming, we are located here in a remote area and is sparsely populated, so the winter festival can be lively, if the little wood brothers are not in a hurry, stay for two more days, and wait until the winter festival is over. ”

Stone Daddy thought that it would soon be the day of the winter sacrifice to the mountain god, and then the village would gather together to eat, drink, sing and dance, a rare lively day, Mu Sanqian has been recuperating in the wooden house since he came, and rarely walks around the village, and it will be difficult to come back after he is gone, so take this opportunity to get acquainted with the people in the village again, and the village will also entertain them, so it will be regarded as a farewell practice for the two.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so Mu Sanqian had no choice but to agree.

"The day after tomorrow, I'll come over early in the morning the day after tomorrow, Grandma, how about letting Brother Xiaomu blow the trumpet of this year's mountain god festival?"

Daddy Shi proposed to let Mu Sanqian blow the horn of this year's mountain god festival, which is the highest level of respect for guests in Daqingshan Village.

Grandma nodded and said okay, but Mu Sanqian didn't understand what was going on.

"Isn't this kind of thing usually done in the temple?"

After Grandma and Shi Dad left, Mu Sanqian chatted with Su Xuan.

"Yes, it's in the back mountain, a dilapidated little temple. ”

Su Xuan helped Mu Sanqian add charcoal to the charcoal basin.

"How do you know?"

Mu Sanqian poured himself the water to wash his feet, and began to sit on the edge of the bed and take off his shoes and wash his feet.

"Your leg is injured and you can't walk, and I'm not injured. ”

Su Xuan also left the wooden house after pressing the charcoal basin.

After washing his feet and drying them with a cloth, he didn't bother to go out and pour water, so he directly pushed the wooden basin to the side and fell asleep.

In this big green mountain, where the mountain wind is howling almost every night, Mu Sanqian can sleep exceptionally soundly, even on Wudang Mountain.

The next day, the villagers were preparing all kinds of ingredients, and a makeshift earthen stove was set up at the head of the village.

Stone and the other melon babies in the village ran to the entrance of the village no less than a dozen times a day, and when Stone Daddy came back, they found out that they had bought a lot of snacks and gadgets from the town, and even a lot of fireworks.

No wonder they all ran to the entrance of the village as if they had lost their souls.

"Brother Xiaomu, look, the candy man that Daddy bought still has fireworks!"

Mu Sanqian, who was basking in the sun in the small yard, listened to the voices of the people in the village, but felt very comfortable and comfortable in his heart.

"No wonder I haven't seen you for a day, it turns out that something has hooked your soul. ”

Mu Sanqian was lying on the chair, the sunlight above his head was a little dazzling, but his body was hot.

"Hehe, there's a lot of fireworks, and I'll be able to have a blast tomorrow night. ”

"By the way, what about Sister Su Xuan?"

A few days ago, I could always see Su Xuan there, but I didn't see her today.

"I don't know, I don't dare to ask about her. ”

"Huh, it turns out that Brother Xiaomu, you are afraid of Sister Su Xuan, Sister Su Xuan is too, women want to be three and four virtues, how can they leave you alone?"

Shi said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he looked like a person who had come over, but with the size of his waist when he had just arrived at Mu Sanqian and his childish little face that often had snot bubbles, it was very funny no matter how he looked at it.

"Oh, it's really a big ghost, and you know three from four virtues. Where did you learn from? ”

Mu Sanqian smiled and slapped the stone on the head.

"When I went to town, I heard from Mr. Storyteller. ”

"But if everything you do is wrong, do you want your daughter-in-law to listen to you?"

"This-"

"Not all rules are right, and not all are good, you know?"

"Oh-"

Mu Sanqian suddenly found that he still had some personality that was good for being a teacher, he was like this to Cao Shuanglu at the beginning, and now he is the same for stones.

I didn't see Su Xuan come back until dark, although he was a little worried about Mu Sanqian, he didn't think much about it, no matter how he looked at Su Xuan in the inaccessible Daqing Mountain, he would not be the one who might encounter danger.

On the third day, before dawn, Shi Dad came to the wooden house, Mu Sanqian opened the door and looked, almost all the men in the village were there, everyone held a lit torch in their hands, and the village of Daqingshan was lit into daylight.

"Let's go, go to the Houshan Mountain Temple, today is the biggest day we have here. ”

Father Shi also prepared a torch for Mu Sanqian, and handed it to him after Mu Sanqian came out.

"Let's go. ”

Mu Sanqian took it and looked behind him, a long string of torches like a flaming dragon in the dark night.

Long dragons move through the mountains, and the hillside behind the village is where the mountain temple is built.

The mountain temple is a bit dilapidated, and almost no one comes here on weekdays, so it is close to the mountain god festival that people come here to put sacrifices such as drinks.

A group of people holding torches led by the stone father to the mountain temple to stop, in front of the temple erected a person-high stone tablet, with a small seal engraved with words, but because of the long time wind and sun, the text has been blurred and illegible, it seems that this temple is also some years.

There were still traces of wood burning on the ground around the stele, and the stele had also been burned by smoke and fire, and Mu Sanqian guessed that the torches they were holding should be used around the stele.

When everyone arrived, the stone father walked to the stele with a torch, bowed and kowtowed to the stele very solemnly, and then held the torch around the stele while singing something in a language that was difficult for Mu Sanqian to understand.

Then the people next to Mu Sanqian also began to whisper and echo, and then the voice became louder and louder, and when everyone began to sing the same song in that indescribable voice, the song began to vibrate throughout the valley, and at this time even people in the village below the mountain began to sing together, and for a time the scene was extremely spectacular and shocking.

The crowd suddenly stopped singing, and the singing came to an abrupt end.

Daddy Stone retreated into the crowd and shouted, "Sacrifice!"

Almost at the same time, everyone threw the torches in their hands towards the stone monument in front of them, and Mu Sanqian followed the crowd to throw the torches in their hands as well.

The front of the stele was filled with torches in an instant, and the flames gathered and burned, and the gathered flames burned the stele and the sky above the temple red.
