Okay, I Can’t Eat This: Chapter 29
Xie Chi hugged the dumplings and followed Meng Shu out. She was really curious.
Meng Shu took her to the small lake in the center of the village. There are several houses near this small lake, but the most eye-catching is the small bamboo building close to the lake. The cloth strips look especially like the kind of tree that is covered with red cloth because many people make wishes.
The two of them came here secretly. Meng Shu first checked to see if there was anyone around, and then sneaked over with Xie Chi. The two of them went outside the bamboo building. Meng Shu made a silent movement, and then said: "Just On the first floor, take a look."
The door was not closed, Xie Chi could see the woman sitting in the bamboo building from a distance, her sitting posture was particularly upright, she was wearing a red wedding dress, her hands were on her knees, her face was pale, but her mouth was painted brightly. red.
like a dead man.
This was Xie Chi's first thought, but if you got closer, you would find that it was indeed not a living person, but a paper figurine, but it was so delicate that it looked like a real person at a glance.
"Isn't it that many people are very willing to send the girl to be a daughter-in-law to the mountain god? Why do they still use paper people." Xie Chi tilted his head, a little dazed.
"I suspect that the girl's birthday is posted on the paper figure, so you can't really let the girls get on the sedan chair." Meng Shu touched his chin, and then said, "This is also a kind of surrogate marriage, just like everyone uses paper now. It's probably the same reason that people are buried with each other?"
The paper figurine marries the mountain **** instead of the girl, and the girl can marry the person she likes. It's good to think about it this way. Xie Chi remembers that in some remote places there was still the habit of living sacrifices, just like in Journey to the West, worshipping Like virgins and virgins, the sacrifices are mostly women and children.
With the changes of the times, live sacrifices are illegal, and they are gradually abandoned in most places. Some places use live animals, that is, chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, and sheep. There are also some places where paper figurines use this method to write the birthday characters on the paper figurines and make sacrifices instead of living people.
But because this is also unlucky, it will also be classified as evil.
The two of them wanted to go in and see if the paper figurine had the birth date on it, but Xie Chi saw a person walking by from a distance, and hurriedly pulled Meng Shu away.
"At least it can be concluded that the sacrifices here are useless." Xie Chi touched his chin as he walked back: "Wait and see, I had suspected that there might be live sacrifices here, but now it seems more It's better than I imagined."
"It's not like living sacrifices... But... I don't know how it has anything to do with the previous tourists, I can't see it at all..." Meng Shu scratched his head: "It feels like two different things."
"Who knows, let's talk about it when the Mountain God Festival starts." Xie Chi waved his hand: "The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the truth needs to be checked bit by bit."
After receiving a high salary, Meng Shu is now a purebred licking dog: "The boss is right! The boss is wise!"
Xie Chi:…
There was nothing else to do before the Mountain God Festival began. After Xie Chi explored the whole village, less and less people went out in his room. Every day, he turned on his mobile phone and started broadcasting cartoons.
The lazy stand is still very useful, she can watch cartoons while lying on the bed, holding a dumpling in her arms.
Tuanzi also seems to like cartoons very much, and being obedient in her arms, Xie Chi also discovered a new way to use danzi.
"Xiao Hei, pour me a glass of water."
The dumpling who was obediently in her arms suddenly stretched out a thin and tender arm, and then that arm crossed the mountain and the sea, poured a glass of water for Xie Chi, and then retracted.
Although the picture looks like a ghost, it is really easy to use. Xie Chi doesn't have to get up at all, he can solve everything by lying in bed, which is especially suitable for lazy times.
Xie Chi now feels more and more that raising a ghost is really much better than raising a cat or dog. It doesn't shed hair and has more uses, especially her family, which is obedient and obedient. It really suits her heart. .
"I will definitely find a way to restore you to human form as soon as possible." Xie Chi said with a serious face.
At night, Xie Chi slept soundly, but around midnight, the dumpling suddenly pushed Xie Chi, Xie Chi slept right at the time, opened his eyes vaguely, and put the dumpling on her chest into his arms Inside, he asked vaguely, "What's the matter with the swelling..."
Tuanzi couldn't speak either, so he could only stretch out his hand, tugged at the front of Xie Chi's chest, and pointed out the window.
Xie Chi yawned and gradually came to his senses. He climbed down from the bed, stepped on his slippers and looked out. It was the same white lantern, swaying in the wind. Pendulum into the dark.
Xie Chi was completely awake, she quickly pulled the box containing the Slayer Sword, put it on her back, stepped on her slippers and ran out.
But she was still a step behind, and by the time she rushed to the street, the sedan chair was gone, and only two rows of white lanterns were left dangling.
Meng Shu also heard the movement, and walked out while rubbing his eyes: "What's going on?"
"I saw a red-roofed sedan chair just now, being carried by a few ghosts. I wanted to chase after it, but when I came out, it was gone." Xie Chi was a little annoyed: "The action is too fast! "
"Ah?" Meng Shu was a little dazed: "What's going on? Someone got married?"
"I don't know." Xie Chi frowned tightly: "Normally, ghost marriages have to be chosen, and today is not a good day. The only one who might have something to do with this should be the mountain **** marrying a wife, but Isn't it the Mountain God Festival tomorrow?"
"Let's take a look tomorrow." Meng Shu couldn't understand, the two stood in the wind for a while, and finally went back to sleep in silence.
Before going to bed, Xie Chi praised the dumpling: "You did a good job, and you have to call me if you encounter this kind of thing again."
Early the next morning, the sound of blowing and beating was already heard outside. Xie sooner or later finished washing up and ate breakfast, adjusted the live broadcast equipment, and then walked out.
Although it was early in the morning, there were still many people pouring in in the live broadcast room. Xie Chi's live broadcast was already well-known, and it was considered to have some regular fans. Some people even started asking questions as soon as they came in.
'Anchor anchor, how was the last time? Why did the live broadcast suddenly shut down, we still want to watch the follow-up! ’
'The owner of this number has died because of unsatisfied curiosity, I am his younger brother'
'So what the **** is going on! Why are there so many new houses in the old campus that has been abandoned for so long! Are those kids really here to play pranks? I'm dying, please decipher it for me and talk about the follow-up! ’
Xie Chi began to make a serious nonsense: "It is said that some people like the old campus very much, so they want to restore the old campus, but only two or three houses were built, which cost a lot of money, and then did not continue to build. , As for those children, I have sent them to their parents, and let their parents educate them well, and now they have changed their evil ways and are good people."
"Okay, okay, let's not dwell on the previous story, let's focus on the new live broadcast, let me introduce my assistant first." Xie Chi calmly let Meng Shu into the camera.
Audiences:? ?
'This man looks familiar...'
'The old fans who came in and watched the anchor's first live broadcast can tell everyone that this one appeared during the first live broadcast, but wasn't he wearing a Taoist robe at that time? ’
'So... the anchor turned a liar into a liar with a sense of love ♂ and made him change his ways? ’
"I'm afraid it's not a physical sense..."
"No, it was influenced by money." Xie Chi said while carrying a backpack: "I can make more money as an assistant, and he will come."
Meng Shu had been trained early, and he admitted that he used to be a liar with blood in his heart: "Yes! We must believe in science. After the boss's serious communication with me, I deeply felt that it is wrong to deceive people, this world There are no ghosts at all! I want to follow my wise boss and have a real career!"
Then the barrage was full of 'Hahaha', 'I saw a live licking dog today', 'Say, how much did the anchor pay you', 'The boss hit me... No, he persuaded me for a long time', 'It seems to be back Lines ah'.
"The place I came to this time is Yuejia Village. There is a mountain **** sacrifice ceremony that has been handed down from a long time ago. I will show you all in a while." This time Xie Chi prepared a button-type camera. Naturally, her face will not appear in the camera, and many people are still crying there. It is estimated that these are the kind of face powder that come to her face.
But more people have begun to discuss Yuejiacun.
After all, it was once popular, and some people still remember it, and then began to talk to other people in the live broadcast room. Xie Chi stopped talking after the live broadcast, because the two of them were going out soon.
Xie Chi came here as an ordinary tourist, so he could only live broadcast secretly, which is similar to an unannounced visit.
The whole Yuejia Village suddenly became lively. Usually, there were not many people on the streets of Yuejia Village. Because it was the busy farming season, the young and middle-aged people went out to work, and the remaining women and old people were busy in the fields, so the streets were busy. Occasionally, I can only see some elderly people who can't work and children walking around.
But today the whole village did not work in the fields, and all gathered near the mountain temple.
The two of them came out just in time. A red-roofed sedan chair, carried by four middle-aged men, set off from the small bamboo building in the middle of the village, beating gongs and drums, and suona players on both sides. The taste of the kissing scene in the costume drama on TV.
Yue Feng walked over with a smile: "You are here at the right time, you are going to send a new daughter-in-law to the mountain god."
