Strange talk live room

Chapter 471 The whole village wishes birthday

The butcher's eyes passed over me and my aunt unhurriedly, without showing any emotion. I don't know if he recognized me.

But the aunt's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and took half a step back.

"Kill the pig."

After spitting out the cigarette butts in his mouth, the butcher said loudly to everyone.

"It's started, it's started!"

Everyone clamored into action.

"Go and help." The aunt pushed me.

I joined the pig-butting team, but the villagers were not polite to me. Everyone pulled the fat pig over and pressed it on the big stone where the butcher was sharpening his knife.

The butcher walked to the pig's head with his knife and placed a large basin underneath.

The sharp knife was so bright that it almost illuminated the fat pig's twisted face.

The fat pig howled.

The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

Act decisively and cleanly.

The wailing sound stopped suddenly, and the limbs and hooves suddenly stretched straight, and then slowly relaxed weakly until they were motionless.

Blood spurted into the basin, and the butcher stirred it.

The next step is to shave the pig hair and divide the pork into a series of processes. I have nothing to do.

The aunt followed the others to help the pig butcher, and I waited nearby.

The butcher cut the pork into categories and spread it out on a wooden board with skillful and careful movements.

The look of concentration is not like picking pork, but like performing some artistic operation.

He didn't look at me the whole time.

This made me murmur in my heart. The fight for Buddha treasures in Rakshasa Temple was thrilling. There was no way he could not recognize me.

All I can say is that he is too calm.

It wasn't until she was almost busy that the aunt wiped her hands and came over.

"Young man, you've been waiting for a long time! Please come home with me. I'll call my Xiaoni, and you two will go to see Granny Long together."

"Thank you, auntie."

"Why are you so polite? The centenary birthday banquet requires as many people as possible! In recent years, there are fewer and fewer people in the village. More people means more popularity!"

The aunt smiled and led me to her house.

Her house is in good condition. It is a two-story building. Although it is not decorated much, it is many times better than the old brick and tile house.

"Xiao Ni, Xiao Ni, stop watching TV and come down and lead your brother to pay homage to Grandma Long!"

The aunt stood in the yard and shouted loudly to the second floor.

"Oh, here it comes."

The window on the second floor opened, and a little head poked his head outside and responded.

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.

A little girl of eight or nine years old came out holding a little boy of three or four years old.

"grandmother."

The little boy happily threw himself into the aunt's arms, while the little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at me curiously, not recognizing strangers at all.

"This is Uncle Li. They are coming with us to celebrate our ancestor's birthday! Call me uncle!"

The two children blinked, looked at me, opened their mouths and shouted "Hello, Uncle."

"Hey, hello." I thought to myself, Yunze and Yunya are about the same age as them, but they call them brother.

The aunt went to the kitchen, brought out a sea bowl, and urged the two children.

"Hurry up and follow grandma. It's almost time. On the way back, I saw your grandpa Liang and others passing by with others."

She held a child in one hand and hurried out of the yard.

I followed them towards the back of the village.

I met many people on the road, all of whom were villagers who took their children to pay homage to Grandma Long.

Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, and the younger generation have gone out to work, leaving their children to be taken care of by their parents.

The children let go of the adults' hands, chasing each other and playing together, chattering, so unhappy.

No toys or mobile phones are needed, and I am very happy.

This is probably difficult for urban children to understand.

I noticed that these villagers, like the aunt, all held a bowl in their hands.

The aunt told me that this is also the custom of their village.

When you go to pay homage to an old man on his birthday, you should bring a bowl with you. After paying homage, the old man pours some water into the bowl. This is called longevity water.

It represents the old man’s blessing to everyone, good health and long life.

This is the first time I have heard of this custom. It feels very fresh and very humane.

The old man accepted everyone's blessings and at the same time distributed blessings to everyone.

Long Po Po's home is at the end of the village, closest to the mountain.

Three mud-tiled bungalows, low and old.

The yard is small, and some dry firewood is sparsely stacked under the eaves.

There were hundreds of people, large and small, in the village. In addition to those preparing for the birthday banquet, there were also dozens of people. They poured into the small courtyard in a mighty manner, which was quite spectacular.

There were so many people paying birthdays, people were coming in and out all the time, and the villagers lined up talking and laughing.

The small courtyard was very lively, just like the Chinese New Year.

My aunt's family and I arrived late and lined up behind the courtyard.

I stood on tiptoe and looked inside. The light in the room was poor and dark. I could vaguely see an old man sitting in the middle.

The villagers led their children, knelt down to the old man and said some auspicious words. When they came out, the bowls in their hands were filled with water.

The children were jumping up and down, and the adults were holding the bowls in their hands with great joy, moving carefully for fear of spilling a drop.

When passing by a crowd, everyone will consciously give way to let him pass.

If there is a lot of water in the bowl, they will show envy and send blessings.

If there is little water, they will also make comforting noises.

As the person carrying the water walked away, he said with a smile that you must have received a lot this year.

People kept coming in and out, and the team moved forward slowly, but no one showed any impatience, and they kept talking and laughing.

"Young man, you are so lucky, you just happened to catch up with our village's 100th birthday party!"

"Be sure to toast Granny Long with a cup of longevity tea later. Drinking it from Granny Long will ensure that you are free from illness and disaster!"

The villagers also expressed great enthusiasm for my arrival.

I feel a little emotional in my heart. It is rare to see such a harmonious and harmonious village nowadays.

After about an hour, it was finally my turn to go to my aunt’s house.

The aunt quickly called the two children who were playing crazy to come over, holding one in each hand, holding the bowl in her armpit, and did not forget to call me.

"Young man, come with me quickly. You can pray as I tell you."

"When entering the door, you must step forward with your left foot first."

I followed my aunt's example, crossed the threshold with my left foot first, and walked into the dark room.

The house is low and has small windows. No matter how bright the sun is outside, it can't shine in. It looks gloomy and cool.

An old lady whose age could not be discerned sat in the center of the main room, with all the wrinkles on her face stacked together.

You can't tell whether the eyes are open or closed.

The body is wearing new clothes, but the person is dull, lifeless and lifeless.

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but take a look with my heavenly eye.

The old lady's whole body was filled with black energy. She had half her foot in the coffin and was not far from death.

However, I didn't show it.

This is my 100th birthday, so it’s too naive to say this.

"Xiao Ni, Xiao Hu Zi, kneel down quickly for me." The aunt put the bowl at Granny Long's feet and held the two children down to kneel down.

Then, he turned around and greeted me.

"Young man, come here too, kneel down and offer a cup of longevity tea to Granny Long!"

I'm a little surprised.

As the saying goes, if a man has gold at his knees, he should kneel to heaven and kneel to his parents.

How can you kneel to a stranger?
