Yang Yi really didn't notice that Chu Wanting looked at him differently. He was thinking about how to reject this silly little girl, but then he thought about it. Chu Wanting was a native girl in Hexia, and she always knew more than him.
There are many more outsiders.
Perhaps, as a local, Chu Wanting really knew about the woman's request and the legend she told her.
After thinking about it, Yang Yi had no choice but to smile and said politely, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you tonight."
Seeing that Yang Yi finally agreed, Chu Wanting breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said with a smile, "It's okay, why are you so polite? You are my benefactor."
After saying that, the two people took a car and went straight to the small apartment where Chu Wanting lived.
Chu Wanting's two-story apartment is not big, but it is very clean and warm. It is not difficult to see that Chu Wanting is a very clean girl. The two sat on the sofa while Yang Yi was still looking around.
When she entered the environment, Chu Wanting had already put away her bag, and then turned to Yang Yi and said, "It's been a tiring day, why don't you go take a bath first? I don't have any change of clothes here, but a new bath
We still have robes, can we order takeout for a late night snack?"
When Yang Yi heard this, he was stunned.
bath?
This made Yang Yi a little embarrassed. After all, he was now at a girl's house, and the two were not related to each other. If he really took a shower here, it would be really offensive. .??.
As a man, Yang Yi still knew that he should be more gentlemanly, so he touched his nose awkwardly and refused, "Don't bother me. I can just sleep on the sofa. I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, are there any activities here on the third day of the first lunar month?"
Yang Yi sat on the sofa and asked casually.
At that time, Chu Wanting happened to have changed into pajamas and came down from the second floor. After hearing Yang Yi's words, she was stunned and looked at Yang Yi in surprise.
"Oh my God, how did you know that we have activities on the third day of the Lunar New Year? Are you coming here specifically to participate in our activities?"
Chu Wanting looked at Yang Yi in surprise, and her answer confirmed Yang Yi's guess.
Yang Yi's heart trembled, he didn't expect that he guessed it right!
It seems that this trip was not in vain. I am worried that I have no clue. Isn't this just here?
Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but did not forget Chu Wanting's question and said, "Well, I also heard from my friend that every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year in Hexiakan, there are very lively activities, but what are they specifically?
He didn’t tell me about the event, but I happened to be here this time, and I remembered it, so I asked you.”
After hearing this, Chu Wanting nodded, and then without any hesitation, she sat directly on the sofa next to Yang Yi and shared what she knew with Yang Yi.
"Indeed, your friend is right. Our activities on the third day of the Lunar New Year are quite lively, but this activity is not what you think. In fact,"
After a pause, Chu Wanting continued, "Actually, every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, our Hexiakandu There will be a god-sacrifice activity, and the god of the sacrifice is our water god here."
"But it wasn't like it is now. I heard from the elders of my great-grandmother's generation that a long time ago, the activities of worshiping gods here were not like dancing and preparing sacrifices to worship like now. At that time, worshiping gods
The activity was very scary, and living people were used at that time. Whoever the water god chose would be sacrificed to the god, and there was no way to disobey."
"At that time, we had to give a sacrifice to the gods every year. If the Water God was satisfied, then our place would have good weather every year and a bumper harvest throughout the year, blessing the people here with a worry-free life. But if the Water God was not satisfied
, then there will be heavy rain, which will not stop for three days and three nights, accompanied by floods, which can even wash away the houses in Xiakan."
Chu Wanting lowered her head and carefully recalled the legends the old people told her. She paused and continued, "So, in order to prevent more people from dying, the people here could only follow the water god's wishes and select one person every year.
Sacrifice to the water god, only in this way can we live in peace and soundness."
"But since the founding of the People's Republic of China, this feudal custom has undergone large-scale rectification and construction here, so now we no longer choose to use human beings as sacrifices to gods. Now more and more people choose cattle, sheep, melons and fruits as sacrifices, and
Worshiping the gods in the form of witchcraft and dancing can also bless us with good weather here in Hexia. However, the day of worshiping the gods is a very solemn and solemn day in our Hexia. It is usually the elderly who bring men and young boys there.
, Young girls like us are said to have strong Yin energy and can easily anger the water god, so we are not allowed to get close."
"Once the water god is angered, it is very likely to cause another flood and lead to disaster."
After Chu Wanting finished speaking, she looked at Yang Yi quietly.
After listening to her words, Yang Yi also frowned tightly.
It is not uncommon to worship gods. Probably every ancient village retains some feudal superstitious ideas, so there is nothing strange about it. What Yang Yi didn't expect is that Hexia is not that kind of ancient village.
, has become a third-tier city and is currently developing rapidly, but this place still retains such traditional customs, which is simply strange.
However, after all, this is also a festival that belongs to the people of Hexia. As an outsider, Yang Yi could not say anything, so he nodded and asked, "Then where do you usually worship gods? Is it a place? Or directly by the river?"
?”
Now that a legend has been obtained, maybe this legend is the key to open Pandora's Box and a clue to Yang Yi, so Yang Yi must seize this opportunity, and he must investigate any clues.
clear.
Chu Wanting was playing Lego boredly. After hearing this, she pondered for a moment and said, "I remember it was at a ferry. What's it called? It's called Yuelan Ferry!"
"Yuelan Ferry?"
Hearing this, Yang Yi's expression changed slightly.
The third day of the first lunar month is the end of the month.
River ridge, sail on the water.
Eighty miles below the long river, I return home with my husband.
If Yang Yi guessed correctly, then what the woman told him probably means that Hexia will hold a ceremony to worship the gods on the third day of the first lunar month at Yuelan Ferry. Yang Yi did not realize that Chu Wanting was right
He looked at her differently, and he was thinking about how to reject this silly little girl, but then he thought about it, Chu Wanting was a local girl born and raised in Hexia, and she knew much more than him, an outsider.
Perhaps, as a local, Chu Wanting really knew about the woman's request and the legend she told her.
After thinking about it, Yang Yi had no choice but to smile and said politely, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you tonight."
