Chapter 198 Worship also requires order

Lin Yi grabbed his sister's words, and his tone seemed very angry.

Although he hates others to set up tombstones for himself, especially when he doesn't do any harm at all, under such an unreasonable ghost legend at this moment, he still looks at Run Xiaoqing standing on the threshold in the distance with disappointment and then said, "Where is your father now?"

Run Xiaoqing was roared by Lin Yiyi, and the fears in her heart were not even more full. Instead, she seemed to suddenly lose five or six points and became rational in an in an inntic moment.

She looked innocently at the camel teenager in the courtyard. Looking at him frowning, her heart seemed to be suddenly enlightened, so she whispered, "Dad went to the ancestral hall, and many people also went to the ancestral hall. Dad said he would come back later. Tell me not to run around at home."

"Go to the ancestral hall?"

Hearing Run Xiaoqing's answer, Lin Yi's frown did not loosen. He turned his head to look at his sister, but found that her eyes were also full of curiosity. They looked at each other, but did not draw any practical conclusions. Therefore, Lin Yi continued to ask Run Xiaoqing: "Has your father once said that he Why go to the ancestral hall?"

"And does he know that today is the day of the full moon, and it will be dark soon."

Lun Xiaoqing is still young and can't fully understand what Lin Yi said, but although she is simple, she can still see the displeasure and questioning on the other party's face, so she honestly replied, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Bridge Festival in the village. At this time of year, people in the village go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. My father But I'm going too."

"Dragon Bridge Festival?"

Lin Yi and his senior sister spoke in unison and showed strange light one after another. They looked at each other again and couldn't help but be aroused by these four words.

"It seems that the sacrificial lord asked us to wait for a month for this Longqiao Festival. Presumably, we can only go over the Dragon Bridge until this ceremony is over!" The senior sister spoke lightly and said with some suspicion.

North of Dam Village.

In the vast valley, the light was suppressed by the curtain.

The dark light is full of dull yellow, but it does not affect people's enthusiasm at this moment. The people in the dam village are busy, holding bamboo baskets in their hands, and slowly there are all kinds of sacrifices and red candles in the bamboo basket.

The sacrificial saint sat in the old ancestral hall, holding the golden scepter. His turbid eyes looked directly at a stone statue in the ancestral hall, with a solemn and respectful look. The stone statue is the statue of the ancestors of the dam village and the symbol of the whole dam village. It is also the shelter of the whole dam village, guiding the calendar Sacrifice is constantly inherited.

People entered the ancestral hall one by one, which was orderly and not messy. They passed by the sacrificial adults and did not wake up the sacrificial adults who closed their eyes.

Take out the best in the bamboo basket one by one and light the incense they brought with candlelight. People worshipped the stone statue for a while, and after burning the thick paper in the bamboo basket, they retreated one by one.

The area of the ancestral hall is not large, and there are dozens of households in the dam village, so from noon, the sacrificial process has continued until now, until the sunset will fall from the western edge, and the whole blue sky has become red, reflecting a burst of shyness.

run is arranged very far behind, and there is also a bamboo basket in his hand. There are two big roosters in the bamboo basket, as well as some incense and red candles. The roosters were originally going to be killed and roasted for Lin Yi to eat, but their lives have been dragged to now. It can't be said that they have Fortunately, it can only be said that they have lived another month.

A long time passed, and the twilight seemed to be coming. Black was coming. Run'an held the bamboo basket with a big rooster in his hand, and there was some anxiety on his face.

In front of him, there are still many people waiting to worship their ancestors. If they continue to wait as hard as he did, there is no doubt that it will not be his turn after the moon rises.

"Xiaoqing, hold on, you must wait for your father to come back."

Run'an's face is extremely anxious. Today is the day of the full moon, which is also the day of Run Xiaoqing's illness, so he can't leave her for too long, otherwise it's hard to say what will happen. Of course, he can't fall behind for the grand event of worshiping ancestors at the Longqiao Festival, otherwise he will be disliked by the villagers.

The sacrificial adult was silent, holding the golden scepter, and a villager still passed by him. Their movements were almost the same. First, they lit incense and red candles, then burned the sacrifices on the table, and finally burned paper to close.

With the passage of time, Run'an anxiously looked at the red candlelight in the ancestral hall, and then turned his head to look at the dark sky, and his heart began to be extremely anxious.

" Run An, you come first!"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from the front. Hearing this, Run'an suddenly became happy. He knew it was Runxin's voice, so he wanted to walk forward with a bamboo basket. At this moment, it is too late for him to drag another half, otherwise, after the moonlight rises, Xiaoqing's emergency will recur.

Run'an stepped forward a few steps and passed the people who had been in line for a long time. The villagers in the dam village were very harmonious and friendly, so he didn't think it was strange for Run'an to do this, but the sacrificial adult who had been silent for half a day suddenly said, "Everything should be in accordance with order and rules. If you are like this, everyone is like this, then What should the worship come from now on?

Hearing this, Run'an stopped and walked down. He held a bamboo basket in his hand and did not dare to be disrespectful to the stone statue on the altar, nor did he dare to be disrespectful to the cross-legged old man in front of him, but the time was urgent, and he could not be as calm as usual, so he looked at the sacrificial adult and said, "The sacrifice is great Man, today is the full moon night, and my Xiaoqing is bound to have an emergency relapse. If I don't end the worship as soon as possible, I'm afraid she will have gone crazy when she comes home.

When the sacrificial adult heard the words, his closed eyelids slowly opened. He took a look at the anxious leapan in front of him, looked up at the stone statue on the altar, and then shook his head and said, "Since you know that Xiaoqing will recover today, why don't you know the worship of your ancestors also has a strict rank? Order and regulations?"

"When it's your turn, it's you. When it's not your turn, even if you worship devoutly, how can you satisfy your ancestors?"

When Run'an heard this, he was shocked and said, "But..."

"Don't want it. Your Xiaoqing won't find anything tonight. Now you can go back to the original order and don't disturb others to worship."
