After delivering the supplies, everyone returned to their original place after feeling the enthusiasm of the villagers.
It's completely dark outside.
Two bright light bulbs were hung on wires outside the hall. Many people had gathered around, and more of them were looking at their children with curiosity and envy.
Several girls from Beijing University saw that the children in the village were thin and small, looking at them with open eyes, so they all took out their own snacks and distributed them to them.
Zhai Chuan flipped through the list and then looked at the remaining supplies, "Huh? Isn't it seventy households? We brought just enough. Why are there so many left after we've given them away?"
Lu Zifan also looked over.
Because of this hour of busy work, the boys and girls were no longer as fresh and clean as they were at first, and their bodies were somewhat stained with dust. They just felt tired and hungry, and they wanted to sit down and rest immediately.
When Chi Zao heard Zhai Chuan's words, his thoughts moved.
At this time, the village chief came over after hearing the inquiry and explained with some embarrassment, "Our Qingling Village is divided into upper and lower villages. This is the lower village and the upper village. But most of us are in the lower village. The upper village is on the mountain, and the road is far away.
It's easy to go, they usually don't go down the mountain. How about everyone take a rest and have a meal, and I can send someone to see them off at the upper village."
When the village chief mentioned the upper village, he pointed to the mountain in front of him.
Everyone looked over and saw a faint light shining on the mountain in the distance. Under the light, smoke seemed to be rising, and the few exposed corners of the house looked quite mysterious in the darkness surrounded by mountains.
The crowd suddenly burst into mourning.
That mountain is really not low.
If they knew how to climb, it would definitely cost them half their lives.
The village chief immediately said, "It's okay. We have already received your wishes from Beijing University. It's far over there, so I'll ask the villagers to deliver it. It's so late, so everyone should go into the hall to eat."
Zhai Chuan had no decision-making power and looked at Lu Zifan.
Lu Zifan was silent for a moment and did not accept the village chief's kindness.
It is their duty to deliver supplies.
As the vice president of the student union, this is not the first time that Lu Zifan has participated in such charity activities as a leader.
Of course they have to deliver the things in person, otherwise the purpose of this trip will be lost.
But seeing that everyone was really tired and it was getting late, I told them to go to the village and wait until tomorrow morning to deliver them.
Anyway, they still have time and will not return to the city until tomorrow afternoon.
When the village chief heard this, his face froze for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, come in and eat first, the food is already hot."
Chi Zao followed the crowd into the hall and couldn't help but glance at the surrounding villagers.
It seemed like she hadn't felt such an atmosphere in a long time.
In my memory, I had only seen such a small village and its enthusiastic and honest villagers when I was very young and followed Xie Yunzhi back to his hometown.
only……
Everything in front of me seems to be different from when I was a child.
Although they don't have any malice or bad intentions.
After dinner, it was still early.
The village has prepared clean rooms for them. They don't dare to sleep alone in a strange place. Basically, two or three people share a room.
Chi Zao and Dong Yi, Qian Mingxuan and Ge Jiaxi were in two adjacent rooms.
Next to them are Jian Yichen and Meng Feiyu.
Although there are no entertainment activities in the village, and people who are unfamiliar with the place cannot go out to play, but everyone is a night owl, so of course they cannot go to bed so early.
So a dozen boys and girls ran outside to the open space next to the bus, set up a fire and flashlights, took out a picnic table cloth, spread it on the ground, and sat on the ground.
In the distance there are light bulbs hanging outside the hall, glowing with warm light.
The mountain village still has a hint of coolness on summer nights.
The bonfire burned and crackled in the distance.
The girls were drinking drinks and holding snacks, while a few boys had beers in their hands, laughing and joking, which was quite a unique experience.
"Oh, by the way, when you were delivering supplies, did you hear the people in the village tell you not to step on the threshold or look at the Buddha statues enshrined in other people's homes?"
"Yes, the lady who led the way looked so mysterious, it scared me. I didn't even know where to put my eyes when I walked in."
"What are you talking about? I just went to a house where there were two Buddha statues facing the door. One was a ferocious human-like snake body, and the other was a Maitreya Buddha with a fat head and big ears. I was almost frightened to death. I was so scared.
After taking one look at it, the old man from that house stared at me, which was really amazing."
"Wow, are you so fierce? Well, we are lucky. The houses we went to were all very easy to talk to."
"Harm, it's all the things in life."
"It's strange. You can't see the Buddha statue, so why are you putting it in the living room? It would be better to put it in a special place for worship."
"The people in this village are very superstitious. They can't even step on the threshold. Is it because they are too backward and closed-minded?"
Everyone started discussing and talked about what happened when delivering supplies tonight.
Qian Mingxuan and others also joined him.
Sudden.
"This is not superstition." A light female voice sounded slowly.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Chi Zao.
I saw Chi Zao holding a can of soda in his hand, with one leg propped up and his elbow resting on it. His posture was actually a bit leisurely and handsome, "The custom of not stepping on the threshold started in the pre-Qin period. At that time, when ministers entered and left the monarch's house, they could not
When stepping on the threshold, you can only turn sideways, because the threshold represents the distinction between status and status, which is the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and later extended to family status."
From the time she set out in the afternoon until now, Chi Zao's behavior has been very normal, even quite silent. She is very different from what everyone imagined.
It's not as high-profile as the last auction, and it's not as pitiful and weak as shown in the post.
Very low-key.
Although it also has a strong presence.
Because there was Jian Yichen next to her and her good looks and temperament, she was already very conspicuous.
But she spoke too little, which meant that when she spoke, everyone subconsciously kept silent, waiting for her next move.
I was very surprised in my heart.
No wonder he is the top student in the department.
Even the source of the threshold is clearly known.
Ge Jiaxi pushed up his glasses, feeling that Chi Zao hadn't finished speaking yet, "But if they don't let us step on the threshold, they can't be trying to differentiate between us?"
Chi Zao, "Of course not."
Everyone was stunned again.
"Originally, thresholds were used to distinguish superiors from inferiors. But in later generations, the main function of thresholds was to shield objects and ward off evil spirits. A threshold across the door symbolized the erection of a wall to keep out all bad things.
This bad thing also includes ghosts."
"In the past, the wooden beams of the threshold were made of the same material as the main beams on the roof of the house. A wooden beam divided the main beam, the threshold. The main beam played a role in holding down the house and protecting the peace. When a large family built a house, they would ask for land.
When Mr. Yu Feng Shui casts a spell, the threshold is of great significance in Feng Shui, and stepping on the threshold will damage the home's feng shui, damage the magic power of the threshold, and conflict with the family gods. Especially for people like them who enshrine statues of gods at home, they are more taboo about stepping on the threshold."
Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there are so many details about a threshold.
"What happened to the statue?" Qian Mingxuan continued to ask with great interest.
"The statue..." Chi Zao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe it's a blessing, maybe it's a prayer. Anyway, I heard them right. When we go up the mountain to deliver supplies tomorrow, everyone should pay more attention to their thresholds and the statues they enshrine. Don't look at it.
, if you don’t listen and don’t step on it, it’s right.”
After all, it is spiritual.
Including this village.
She could feel a different aura.
Chi Zao's words fell to the ground, and the field was silent for many seconds.
Then someone burst out laughing.
"Junior Chi Zao is also so superstitious. She actually believes in Feng Shui, ghosts and gods."
[Just... the biological clock of disaster. You can see it from the update time. It is a sad circle. I didn’t insist on going to bed early and getting up early for a few days. After going to bed early one night, I started to stay up late again.
The point of no return for insomnia... Today, disaster has come to adjust the biological clock again... I went to bed after writing this chapter, and I will get up early tomorrow for an early update, woo woo woo!!]
