Chapter 48 Sacrifice

After the autumnal equinox,

The village began to become lively. The harvest this year was very good, about 50% more than in previous years. This is an extremely exaggerated concept. The villagers all think it is God's blessing. Ding De, the village chief of Xiaoyang Village, was also preparing to sacrifice to his ancestors, thanking his ancestors for their blessings to make the village have a bumper harvest this year, and praying for good weather and weather in the coming year.

The villagers of Changshu Village who fled in the spring officially settled their homes here. The villagers were busy taking off their bodies and changing kangs, all preparing to finish their work quickly and attending the ceremony to begin. The elderly were also sitting under the trees and talking, spitting in their words and radiating. This kind of harvest festival has not been carried out for a long time. Since their generation, they have rarely celebrated the Harvest Festival.

In recent years, the village has been harvesting year by year, without any disasters and difficulties. This year, there have been so many more harvests than in previous years, and the villagers' smiles are all over their faces.

At the village chief's home, Ding De discussed the process of the ritual ceremony with the elderly in the village. Only the elderly people still remembered the harvest festival. Xue Song also sat aside. He didn't know why he was here too, but Grandpa Aping insisted on letting him sit in the upper seat and waited, so he couldn't refuse.

He held his chin with his hands and listened to the discussions of the old people, but his mind went to the distance.

He seemed to have attended sacrificial sacrifices when he was a child in his previous life. He was a little confused and could not remember it clearly. He only remembered that every household would make some cakes, noodles, balls, buy some fish, meat, make meatballs, fish balls, and add leftover fish bones and some diced meat to braise them together, which tasted very fragrant.

Then place a small table in the courtyard, place these tributes on top, light candles and incense.

After that, the village chief would ask people to gather in the open space in the village, set up seven or eight large round tables, arrange seats to sit down and eat mats, adults drink and chat, women also talk about family matters, while children can't sit still after sitting for a while, holding some food in their hands, and a few people gathered together to run around the ground, which was very lively.

During the Great Wilderness World, Xue Song also participated in a harvest festival, but it was more like a hunting activity. Every household in the village came out, carried a bow and arrow, and went to hunt beasts in the mountains and forests. Xue Song also secretly looked at it with the troops.

I wonder what the sacrifice in this world looks like? Xue Song thought to himself.

"Mr. Xue, what do you think?"

In a daze, Xue Song came back to his senses and saw Ding Dezheng looking at him with anticipation.

"Ah, oh, okay..." Xue Song scratched his head. He didn't pay attention to it, and didn't know what he was asking.

"I just want to ask you to pretend to be a social god..." Ding De looked at Xue Song's blank expression and smiled and told him the specific matter.

"Yes, no problem!"

After finalizing the time and process, Xue Song had nothing to do. He walked out of the house, and the women were gathered by the well and washing clothes. The men were naked and shouting horns followed several old men to rehearse, preparing for the soon-to-be sacrifice.

After stretching his waist and looking at the gentle sun, Xue Song closed his long hair, fixed it with a hairpin again, and walked up the mountain.

And in the deep mountains of Yangshan Mountain in Ming,

Aping and a little girl as old as him were taking care of the vegetable garden in front of the cottage.

The girl's name is Chunya, which is the little girl who Xue Song noticed the insects in her a few months ago. They also asked the village chief's request in the deep mountains. Grandpa Aping wanted Aping and Xue Song to learn something. When Xue Song was not in the mountains, there was also someone in the village who could come up with ideas.

Aping was a little naughty. Although he couldn't see the insect, Xue Song did not refuse. During the time he first came to this world, thanks to the village chief's care, it was natural to help.

He didn't need to hand over everything to Aping, just be able to understand common ground insects near the north and solutions. It's really unsolvable. Xue Song will come back before the autumn harvest every year, and is not afraid of not being able to solve it.

The little girl Chunya stayed in the mountains because she had special talents. Xue Song felt that she wanted to teach Aping, a skin monkey, some knowledge about insects, so she brought the little girl to the mountains and taught her some things. The two of them could be companions.

When Xue Song came up with this idea, the middle-aged man who fled to Xiaoyang Village with Chunya was a little excited and hurriedly asked the little girl to agree. He was a carpenter and worked in a workshop. It was not such a simple thing for him to learn skills. He helped the master do odd jobs for three years before he became a real apprentice and officially became a disciple of the ancestor.

And Chunya is now attracted by a master of insects, which is the blessing she has cultivated.

The two were digging soil and planting some vegetables into the field. This was the task Xue Song taught them to let them grow their own vegetables.

There is also a large open space not far from the vegetable garden, which is used to plant fruit trees.

"Aya, look! The treasure is here again!" the little boy shouted at a golden little monkey that was slowly walking towards the distance.

The little hairy monkey looks quite lively and interesting.

He has a sky blue face, big eyes, thin eyelids, and very clever eyeballs turning back and forth.

It has no nose bridge, only two large nostrils facing the sky.

A pair of big mouths is very prominent and the lips are very thin. It is very interesting to eat when pursing them.

Its body is small and ingenious, and there is nothing special about it, but the fur on it is very eye-catching.

It is golden, smooth and soft, as if it is covered with a golden "wind coat", which looks golden and particularly gorgeous.

This monkey appeared from time to time near the cottage since Chunya went up the mountain, and was not afraid of people, especially because he was very close to Chunya, as if he had known each other before.

Aping only remembered that Brother Songzi said that this little monkey was transformed from the sacred tree in Changshu Village and came to the mountains with Chunya. However, his little head could not understand how a tree turned into a little monkey. However, looking at Dabao's cute and cute appearance, Aping threw these behind his head.

He returned to the cottage and took out a bag containing peanuts. It was brought by him from his home. Not long after he dug it out, he wanted to bring some up the mountain for Brother Songzi to taste. Now that Dabao has come, he will give it to Dabao first.

"Wuwu..." Dabao came to Chunya and sat on the ground. He watched the two of them bring food from the room and made a whimper. He reached out and took a few peanuts from Aping's hand, put them in his mouth and chewed them, constantly squirting his mouth. His little ears kept shaking and shook his head a few times from time to time.

Perhaps the children's caress made it itchy, so it stood up, shook it a few times, walked to the edge of the vegetable garden, stretched out its hand to pull out a vegetable, and sat on the ground and started eating.

"Aya, will Dabao eat up all the vegetables in the vegetable garden?" Aping asked as he looked at the golden monkey walking to the edge of the vegetable garden.

"I can't! Dabao won't be so greedy!" Chunya walked to Dabao, stretched out her hands and hugged it in her arms, buried her head in the monkey's soft hair, without any stinking. On the contrary, the monkey also had a trace of the fragrance of plants.

The golden monkey did not resist, twisted the little girl's arms for a few times, found a comfortable position and continued to chew the vegetables, smashed them, and flipped them a few times from time to time, as if looking for some place to taste more delicious.
