As if she saw hope, Lai Ju stretched out her hands with joy on her face, took the small pile of red paper figures, and then left quickly.
Then he followed the same pattern, and pieces of red paper rose up from the ground and floated in front of Sai Qingfeng, turning into red paper figures one after another.
In just a few minutes, all the red paper on the ground was torn cleanly. Just looking at the blood-red paper scraps on the ground was enough to guess how huge the number of paper figures must be.
For a village with thousands of people, even if there are five people in a family, it will still require at least two hundred households. The workload cannot be underestimated. Even with our help, when all the paper figures are collected, After the distribution was completed, the sun also quietly set.
I ran back and forth throughout the clan village so many times that my legs were a little sore.
When we met Sai Qingfeng again, he gave each of us an extra paper figurine based on our heads.
Then Sai Qingfeng stepped onto the altar, raised his legs and sat down with his eyes closed to rest. Seeing this, we didn't bother him, and each of us took the paper figures and returned to our residence.
After returning to our residence, the four of us inserted the paper figures into the ground in front of the door, leaving only half of our bodies exposed on the ground.
I am really tired after a busy day, and I also lost so much blood, so I really need to take a good rest.
Several of us lay down one after another, but Lai Ju did not lie down for a long time. Instead, he paced back and forth in the room alone, as if he was worried about the safety of the entire clan.
Seeing this, Liu Tingting comforted her: "Sister Aju, please rest early. It's useless for you to worry so much. Those paper figures that Mr. Sai spent so much effort to make are actually substitutes for everyone, and they will definitely survive this disaster. "
"Well, I hope so."
Lai Ju agreed, forcing a smile on her face.
Just when Lai Ju was about to lie down, there was a sudden sound outside the door, which made Lai Ju immediately become alert again.
"Sister Aju, are you asleep?"
Suddenly, a woman's soft voice came from outside the house, and it sounded so familiar.
"Who is it?" Laiju asked alertly.
"It's me, Ah Hua."
As soon as I heard that it was A Hua, Lai Aju hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door. I just lay down. When I heard that A Hua was coming, I immediately sat up from the bamboo bed.
There was only one candle lighting the room, which was very dim. However, as A-hua entered, the room became much brighter because A-ju was holding a white paper lantern in her hand.
Seeing that lantern gave me a chill in my heart.
Fortunately, I know Ah Hua. If I didn't know her, when I suddenly saw this scene, I would have thought that the person holding the lantern was a female ghost.
"Ah Hua, it's so late, why do you come to my place? You know it's very unsafe at night." Lai Ju said.
Ahua nodded slightly and said, "Well, thank you Sister Aju for caring, that... that... actually I came to see him...!"
I was sitting stupidly on the bamboo bed, waiting to hear A-hua's reason for looking for Lai-ahju, but I didn't expect that A-hua raised her hand and pointed her finger at me.
"What? Looking for me? What are you doing?" I said with a confused look on my face.
Seeing me opening my mouth, Ahua lowered her head shyly and said hesitantly: "That... my father asked me to invite you."
"Your father, please invite me? Did you tell me what happened?" I asked, somewhat confused.
"Um...I don't know either. Dad only asked me to invite you and didn't say anything else."
Speaking of which, I have nothing to do with A-hua's father. At most, I just helped him a little bit at his house today. I really don't know why he asked A-hua to call me.
If this was done during the day, or if it were something like that without daylight, I would agree without hesitation, but now...
"Well, this...!"
I didn't know how to answer, but I looked at Lai Ju beside me.
Lai Aju thought for a moment and said to me: "Apart from Lai Aotian, A Hua's dad has the highest seniority in the clan. If he wants to invite you, just go. It's just getting dark anyway." , just go early and come back early.”
Seeing that Lai Aju had said so, if I didn't go, I would be disgraced by the elders, so I immediately agreed, put on my clothes and put on my shoes.
"I also need to go!"
Liu Tingting suddenly jumped up from the bed and stared at A-hua with an unhappy expression, as if A-hua owed her eight hundred coins.
"Tingting, please don't go. It's him who was invited, so it wouldn't be good if you go." Lai Ju said.
"But……!"
Liu Tingting was unwilling to say anything, but was choked back by Lai Aju's look.
I don't really understand women's thoughts, but I'm not a fool. I can see Liu Tingting's jealous behavior.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
I smiled very affectionately at Liu Tingting, which made her blush immediately and did not dare to say another word.
"Okay Ah Hua, let's go, don't keep your father waiting."
"okay."
So, Ahua and I turned around and walked out the door, walking on the increasingly dim road, moving forward step by step.
Although night has come, it is not completely dark yet. The moon has just risen, and it still looks a bit white.
Ahua walked in front of her holding a lantern and keeping silent. I didn't know what to say to her, so I just acted dumb and followed her.
Not long after, I followed Ahua into his house.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt a bright feeling. It turned out that there were many white lanterns in the corners of the house, making the scene in front of me unobstructed.
"Young man, you're here." Ahua's father hurriedly greeted me with a smile.
"Old man, what do you want from me?" I asked.
"Come on, come on, sit down. It's actually nothing serious. I just want to treat you to a meal to thank you for saving our family's lives."
Taking a closer look, I seemed to understand the purpose of inviting me here. Just like Ahua's father said, there were freshly prepared and steaming meals on the dining table in front of me.
Although the Miao Village is not as good as the outside world, with big fish, big meat, mountain delicacies and delicacies from the sea, it still has a combination of meat and vegetables, color, flavor and flavor. It should be regarded as pure natural green organic food.
Not only were there delicious meals, but there was even wine. Just looking at the wine in a bamboo tube, I suddenly remembered the flower wine that Ahua made me drink that was poisoned with the Soul-Eating Gu. I felt uncomfortable all over.
Perhaps seeing my worries, A-hua's father said with an awkward smile: "Young man, I'm really sorry. A-hua was also here for us, an old couple, so... you sir have a lot of them, so I should You won’t argue with this girl Ahua, right?”
"Ah, no, no." I replied hurriedly.
"Don't worry, there's no poison in this wine. If you don't believe me, I'll drink it and show it to you!"
In order to dispel my doubts, Ah Hua's father got a glass first and drank it all in one gulp.
I just had an instinctive reaction. I also knew that A-hua’s father would not do that. When he saw A-hua’s father, he drank a drink first to show his respect. I couldn’t say anything else, so I just drank. Bar.
"Come on, young man, don't just drink, come and eat!"
I politely agreed, but I really didn’t take a few bites. It wasn’t that the food wasn’t delicious, but that I had to lie down and rest before I came here. Naturally, I had already had dinner. A few glasses of wine for A-hua's father would be good enough.
I'm not a drinker. I know better than anyone what I should do when.
Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker and darker, I decided to go back.
Ahua's father seemed to sense that I was about to leave, and hurriedly filled me up with another glass of wine, "Come on, young man, I think you've almost finished drinking, so just drink the wine in the glass." Got it!"
Seeing that Ahua's father had said this, he must have wanted me to go back and rest early, so I didn't say anything more, picked up the glass and drank it all.
After finishing the drink, I stood up and said with a smile: "Old man, thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
As I said that, I wanted to turn around and leave, but at this moment, A-hua's father suddenly grabbed my wrist and said with a smile: "A-hua has already made the bed. I will You can live here."
"ah……?"
