The next day, Xueying got up early. The houses were made of wooden, so the sound of people walking on them would be particularly loud. The crowing of chickens accompanied by the unique earthy smell of the countryside made Xueying's drowsiness yesterday disappear. She had the habit of dancing aerobics in the morning. This habit was still the shadow left by the teacher of the first year's physical education elective course. She changed into a white sweatshirt, a high-neck striped shirt, casual black sweatpants, brown sneakers, and fully armed. Because I was going to visit today, I had to go to the tomb group to check out. So I dressed casually. Teachers and Qu Xingmu were drinking tea under the yard. This comfortable feeling has not appeared for a long time.
When they saw her, they smiled at her. She was worried about waking up someone else, so she tiptoed downstairs. They came back late last night, so Xueying and the others didn't know that, so they got up gently this morning and did not wake up Teacher Liu and Bai Yin in the same room.
Xueying joked: "Teacher Tai, I was completely unconscious when you came back last night. Did you drink tea all night?" Teacher Tai said: "It's used to getting up early. When they get up, we will set off and go to the local villagers' homes for dinner. The director will guide us." Qu Xingmu next to him blew tea and handed a cup to Xueying.
The dirt road is indeed not easy to walk, but the season is right. In early spring, the local corn is planted in the sowing season. The folk customs are very simple. Although the soil has dirty the shoes, it has also harvested a lot. The director took them to the door of a tiled house. The walls are made of mud. The tiles on the house have been a long time ago. There is only an old man wearing local ethnic costumes. She is wrapped in a pink scarf on her head, with a few pear blossoms embroidered on it, and a blue jacket is also embroidered with flowers. It grows to the knees. It is a pair of black pants inside. The fabric is very silky and the shoes are pointed. Now, the old man with small feet is rare. He started working and asked the director to help take a photo with the old man. He started collecting some information. Xueying was responsible for recording and asked the teacher to ask.
Language communication is also a lot of obstacles. Fortunately, there is a director's translation: "She said that everyone in her family went out to grow corn, and her daughter-in-law will come back to cook later." Teacher Tai said: "Is the old man this year?" "She is 82 years old this year." After a while, it was like checking her household registration.
At about noon, another middle-aged woman came to the house, the old man's daughter-in-law. Seeing that Xueying and her party were led by the director, she said, "Li Xiansen, I didn't call me to the field, so I'll waste your time." It meant that the director blamed the director for not asking her to cook for them, for fear of delaying Xueying and her party's time. Although Xueying and her party were hungry, they felt embarrassed to hear this and hurriedly said that it was not important, not hungry or hungry.
The village woman made several tables of meals in less than an hour and was also joking with Xueying and others. I have to admire her. Their group was the image of a guest from afar. She laughed and felt that she had really been sublimated in such a simple and simple place. The village woman also had a son and three daughters. The daughters got married early because the family couldn't afford it. Her husband and son went out to work. Today she asked some neighbors to help sow seeds, and then she went to help when the neighbors sow seeds.
Xueying had some questions, so she pulled Teacher Tai aside and asked: "Teacher, is it not good for Director Li to do this? This family is already so poor, why are you still disturbing people?" Teacher Tai chatted with Director Li for a long time before she realized that the legend of Yelang God's guardian has been circulating in this village, and this family is the guardians passed down from generation to generation. There were also sacrificial customs in the 1970s and 1980s. The purpose of this practice is to explore these legends and find clues of the ancient nation from the legend. Director Li is relatively thin, and it is very funny to stand with Teacher Tai. Bai Yin joked: "The two fat and thin heroes."
There was no signal in this room. After dinner, Teacher Liu went out to find the signal alone. After dinner, he talked around the firewood in the kitchen. A man with a buzz cut, a national face, a white head cloth, and brown clothes rose up and became interested in the origins of Xueying and the other people from outsiders. He asked, "I heard that you are teachers and students from big cities. What is the purpose of this time?" Because the teacher in Taiwan was talking to the old man, Ke Chang acted as the messenger for the conversation. He looked around and no
When the person spoke, he said, "We arranged this time in the school, come here for an inspection." Obviously, the word of investigation scared the villagers, and Xueying continued, "No, we have completed our homework, come to collect folklore, and see the customs and customs of the mountains." The villager looked at Xueying with praise and said, "Little boys, don't take yourself too high." This sentence was obviously for Ke Chang to listen to. After talking to the villagers for a long time, it was all irrelevant, but the teacher should have gained a lot and smiled.
I gained a lot today, but Teacher Liu never came back. Several people were a little worried. Teacher Taiwan took Qin Jizhou out to find him. Xueying and Bai Yin were talking in the room. Suddenly I heard that it was very noisy outside, but Ke Chang and Qu Xingmu started fighting.
Xueying and the other two ran out and saw the two fighting each other. Ke Chang was still yelling: "Isn't it just that the grades are better? Did the teacher value it? Why are you so arrogant?" Qu Xingmu also grabbed Ke Chang's clothes tightly: "You are the kind of social scum who can do things without being able to do anything more than to make trouble." Bai Yin and Xueying went down to pull the two away, and Xueying said: "If you have something to do, wait for the Taiwanese teacher to come back, don't lose face in our school."
The four of them sat on the stone bench under the pear blossom tree, waiting for half a night, but only Teacher Tai and Qin Jizhou came back, and Teacher Liu was still missing.
The four of them discussed going to look for it tomorrow. Teacher Taiwan said, "This Liu Tingting is really a girl who went out to run around at night, which made us worry here. She will definitely remember her demerit when she returns."
Qin Jizhou clenched his fists next to him, his expression was very fierce. Qu Xingmu noticed his abnormality and asked him: "Jizhou, what's wrong with you?" Qin Jizhou didn't say anything, walked upstairs room. Before entering the door, he said quietly: "The sacrificial ceremony has arrived. Today she has entered a place she shouldn't have entered."
This sentence scared Teacher Tai and others very much, and Ke Chang rudely pulled Qin Jizhou out of the room.
Under the pressure from everyone, Qin Jizhou lowered his head nervously and played with the teacup with both hands.
He said as if he was determined: "This is an ancient sacrificial ceremony. It is a 100-year sacrifice. I don't know that it is the god there. In short, Teacher Liu may have accidentally entered the place of sacrifice. He has used livestock instead for so many years, but no one except the priests can be present."
Qin Jizhou lived in this village since he was a child, but he was an orphan and grew up eating a hundred families of food. Later, he was abducted by human traffickers to his current home. Therefore, he has a cowardly and timid temper. He never thought he would come back here one day.
