Chapter 782
I nodded, called Douyazi Xiaoxuan and went out.
On the way to the canteen to buy things, I was worried. Dou Sprout seemed to have forgotten what happened last night. He teased Xiaoxuan: "Hey, why are you dressed like this?"
Xiaoxuan is wearing thick stockings and denim hot pants today. Although Xiaoxuan is not tall, she has good proportions and her legs are in good shape.
"What I wear has nothing to do with you? Do you think I'm the same as you men? I don't wear a different style three hundred and sixty-five days a year." Xiaoxuan replied.
Douyazai said, "Fengzi, she said we are the same."
I looked down at the jeans I was wearing. I bought five pairs of these pants at the time. Indeed, I seemed to have been wearing this style of jeans for more than half a year without changing them, and my knees were all white after washing.
Dou Sprout whistled and said with a sideways glance, "Who are you showing your legs to? It's insulting to gentlemen."
"Can you say that again?"
"I just said, it's insulting to politeness, what's wrong?"
Xiaoxuan's face turned dark. She suddenly took out a dagger from her down jacket pocket and stabbed Dou Sprout with it. Dou Sprout was so frightened that he ran away.
The canteen in the village is not big, but it has a lot of things. When I entered the house, I saw two children tearing apart spicy strips and eating them. These loose spicy strips cost only a dime a piece.
"Boss, what instant noodles do you have here?" I asked.
"Let me take a look. There are six items, 100 for a well-off family, one wheat, and a few bags of Master Kong. Which one do you want to buy?"
"Do you have the whole box?" I asked.
"There is a full box at 6-chome. You can get a box at 6 cents and 50 cents per bag."
I took out the money and was about to pay the bill. At this moment, two eldest sisters from the village came in and said: "Quick, Lao Xiumei, give me five sticks of incense. I'm getting three 1,000-shot firecrackers for going to the temple. Yapo is the Let’s get real.”
When they heard that it was for the temple, the boss didn't dare to ask for money. They took the things and put them in the baskets and left in a hurry.
I dropped the fifty yuan and said I would save the instant noodles and come back later to get them, and followed him.
In the afternoon, preparations began. If something was not available in the village, some people would go to the county to buy it. If something was not available in the county, they would go to the city to buy it. Almost the whole village would gather their strength to hold a sacrificial event.
I originally thought that the hunchbacked Yapo was an old goddess. There are such people almost everywhere. They can only mutter a few words and burn some paper money.
But I didn't expect that the formation would be so big, and it would be more grand than the Chaoshan people offering sacrifices to their clans.
Such a small village has such a grand temple ceremony. No matter who sees it, it will be shocking. I feel that it may be a sacrificial style left over from ancient times.
From the pond, extending to the entrance of Guizailing, a solid yellow flag is inserted every one meter.
The path in the middle is kept spotless, and when the wind blows, these big yellow flags flutter in the wind and make a hunting sound.
There are two altars in total.
At the entrance of Guizailing, four large tables were put together and covered with bright yellow cloth. On the table were placed three main items, four large items, and six small items similar to those used to set up an altar.
Three main pieces: pig head, cow head, sheep head.
Four major items: four piles of yellow paper, four sacrificial towels, five fragrant flowers and five vegetables, and clean wine.
Six small items: white sugar, red meat, preserved fruits, dried dates, fungus, and tea noodles.
The offerings were generously covered with yellow cloth, and a large incense burner was placed on top. Three strings as thick as chopsticks seemed to be inserted into the incense burner.
Green smoke curled up and drifted in the air.
The hunchbacked Yapo changed into a very old yellow-robed Taoist uniform, and her white hair was combed up in a knot.
She bent over, leaning on a cane, and walked forward step by step.
