Chapter 5 The Day of the Curling of Hair

Faced with Zhou Fan's deliberate inquiry, the thin monkey scratched his crunching nest. He tilted his head and thought for a while, saying, "Afan, your question is a bit profound, I don't know the name of our country... Hey, it's not right, I seem to have heard my father say it."

Zhou Fan hurriedly said, "Is that so? Then think about it carefully."

This is very important to Zhou Fan. Even though I encountered so many strange things yesterday, what if this is really a certain dynasty in China?

The thin monkey frowned and thought bitterly. His eyebrows didn't have much flesh on his brow, and the brow bones rose up. He was so thin that he was really skinny.

Zhou Fan just watched helplessly, and the thin monkey suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Afan, I remembered it, it seems that he is called Wei State."

"Is Wei State?"

Zhou Fan nodded. His poor historical knowledge remembered that there were three countries called Wei in history. The first was Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the second was the regime established by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms of the East River, and the third was the Northern Wei during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which seemed to be a minority regime.

As for whether Zhou Fan is the other ones are unknown, he is not sure whether the Wei State is one of the three he thought, so he still has to ask again.

"Skinny Monkey..."

Zhou Fan was about to ask more details, but the thin monkey looked at the round hall and suddenly changed the topic: "Afan, the hair binding ceremony is about to begin, are you afraid?"

Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's just a hair tie, why are you afraid?"

The skin bones on the skinny monkey's face shook, and he forced himself to laugh: "Afan is right, just tie his hair, I'm not afraid."

Zhou Fan could see the nervousness of the Skinny Monkey at a glance, and his doubts were even more serious. Since last night, his parents' tone of the hair tie ceremony was strange. Now what the Skinny Monkey said, is there something strange about this hair tie?

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of the pounding of the leather drum came.

The thin monkey said anxiously: "It's going to start, Afan, let's talk about it after something happens. I'll go back to my parents first. Go and find Uncle Yimu and the others, and wish you good luck."

After saying that, the thin monkey quickly got into the crowd.

Zhou Fan's words were completely blocked, and he could no longer ask, thinking why he wishes good luck to himself?

Zhou Fan did not continue to think about it. He would soon find out what was unique about this hair, and there was no need to rush for a moment.

Zhou Fan looked around and walked back to the place just now. He saw Zhou Yimu and the others standing there waiting for him.

Gui Feng waved to Zhou Fan and said, "Luckily you are back. If you don't come back, I will go to find you."

Zhou Yimu saw Zhou Fan coming back and said, "Since we are back, we are going forward."

The crowd gathered around the round altar, but the clamor of speaking had basically stopped at this time, with only rustling whispers.

When the villagers saw Zhou Fan and the other two, they all made way.

Zhou Fan and the other two quickly walked to the edge of the round altar. Zhou Fan looked around and found that there were some parents leading their children next to him. These people were all fifteen years old like Zhou Fan, and they were obviously ready to wear their hair.

These peers have men and women, but their faces are full of nervousness.

It is said to be a hair tie ceremony, but girls will also participate. Girls are not called hair tie or hair tie at the age of fifteen. It was just that men were superior to women in ancient times, and this world was no exception, so it was collectively called hair tie ceremony.

Zhou Fan saw the thin monkey not far away.

The thin monkey stood beside his parents, and his legs were actually trembling slightly.

The parents of the children who were about to wear their hair looked very serious.

I'm afraid that only Zhou Fan, who was unaware of the situation, seemed much calmer here.

The tense and solemn atmosphere spread throughout the venue, which made Zhou Fan feel a little nervous.

At this moment, the venue suddenly became completely quiet.

The people behind Zhou Fan had knelt down almost at the moment. The person standing in front looked back and then knelt down.

After Zhou Fan noticed it, he wanted to turn his head to look, but Gui Feng pulled his hand.

"Kneel down quickly." Gui Feng whispered.

Zhou Fan quickly knelt down like Zhou Yimu and his wife.

However, even after kneeling down, Zhou Fan still raised his gaze slightly and looked to the side.

He soon saw three people walking towards the round altar.

The middle-aged man walking in the front had a long black beard and short and fat figure. He smiled flatteringly and was leading the way for the two behind him.

Behind were two old men with white hair and beard, one shorter and the other taller, with an ordinary appearance.

The three of them quickly walked up the stone steps to the round altar and looked at the crowd kneeling below.

One of the two old men said slowly: "Let them all get up, the ceremony begins soon, don't waste time."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and he shouted at the top of his throat: "Get up, the hair-burning ceremony begins now."

Of course, the middle-aged man's voice could not be heard by everyone, but when the person in front heard it and stood up, the person who could not hear it in the back would naturally stand up.

Even though they all stood up, no one dared to speak loudly, but waited patiently.

Zhou Fan was in a relatively high position. He saw a middle-aged man bent down at the two old men and said, "Two old men, please give me yours for this ceremony."

The two old men nodded in a bare face and did not speak.

The middle-aged man smiled and walked down the round altar along the stone steps.

When Zhou Fan saw this, he asked Gui Feng beside him softly: "Mom, who are the three people on the stage?"

Gui Feng glanced around and replied in a low voice: "Afan, the one who is walking down is the village of our village, Luo Litian, and the two old masters are Master Fu from the village."

Zhou Fan blinked and said, he understood a little, similar to the village chief in the rural areas of modern society, but what is Master Fu?

Zhou Fan was about to ask more details, but Zhou Yimu looked back at Zhou Fan and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk, look at him well."

Zhou Fan didn't dare to ask again and looked up.

At this time, the two old men on the round altar had separated, one standing on the eastmost side of the round altar, and the other standing on the westmost side of the round altar.

The old man looked at the Muramamara Rita below and said, "Let me carry the things up."

Luo Litian nodded quickly, and he waved to the back and shouted, "Please carry things up."

The crowd behind Luo Litian made way for a highway, and four tall men carried a large jar across two shoulder poles and walked towards the round altar.

The thick rope mesh tied with a large black and gray tank was tied to the intersection of the shoulder poles, and the two shoulder poles made a creaking sound, as if they were about to be broken.

The four men had knotted muscles and their brass-like skin was covered with sweat. They were breathing while moving forward. It was obvious that the things were very heavy, otherwise the four of them would not have to carry them together.

The large black clay tank is half a person tall, and the mouth of the tank is sealed with animal skin.

Zhou Fan also noticed that there was a yellow talisman on the cylinder surface of the clay tank. As for whether the yellow talisman was attached to the other side, Zhou Fan could not see it due to the perspective.

If it weren't for what happened last night, Zhou Fan would definitely not care about Huang Fu, but after seeing the strange little lamp talisman last night, he was very cautious about the yellow paper talisman.

Zhou Fan didn't dare to stare at the yellow talisman paper on the tank surface. After all, he didn't know if something strange would happen.
