Chapter 46: Inviting “God” into the temple (II)
Afternoon sunlight is particularly strong, even in such a cold winter, the heat of the sun is suppressed by the cold air can not be fully played out, but the intensity of the light still makes people feel blinding, mood restless.
The more people gathered on the cross street, the original winter rarely meet the good weather, slightly warmer than usual, lying on the kang in the afternoon, enjoying the heat emitted by the stove inside the house, let the sunshine through the glass window spread on the bedding, that kind of cozy comfort, uh-huh, very enjoyable …… Unfortunately, Grandma's Temple today, inviting the gods ceremony, the grand ceremony of the gods. The firecrackers on the cross street, as if it does not cost money like point ah put, who can sleep at home, that is really let a person admire his sleep power it.
I guess those who put effort into this ceremony, all expect this effect, right? At the very least, it's the second time that the whole village knows about it and comes to see it.
Perhaps this can also let Mrs. Xu and other old a few, from the face to save some to it, after all, when I and Chen Jin and the second uncle and Chen Lockzhu, the power of the group of female, the potential to force the group of male, fire and fury smashed grandma temple, is simply a public to the old a few as well as their family members heavy a few ears scrape. For this reason, they must be grudgingly, but bitterly powerless to return to heaven, or gutless.
And rebuild the grandmother temple, and then open the light, and then invite the god, is undoubtedly in such a way, to the whole village to show clearly: we do not fear any hegemonist, we once again stood up, the revolution is to carry on ……
However, the villagers who came to watch us seemed to want us to clash with the old lady again, so they were very uneasy and kindly intentionally flashed a piece of land to let the old ladies see us, at the same time, Chen Jin, Liu Bin and I could also put our sights on the altar as well as the Grandmother's Temple and the old ladies without any obstacles.
After Old Lady Xu finished her impassioned speech, the Invocation Ceremony officially began.
The dong dong dong drums sounded rhythmically, accompanied by cymbals, suona sound …… the two females and males, ah no, godly men, kneeled down in front of the altar of the god, facing the grandmother's temple, pious muttering up, and from time to time to be kowtowed, hands clasped together placed on the heart of the eyebrow, so that I can not figure out which school of thought they are in the end in the way in the I couldn't figure out which school they were inviting.
Not long, the copper lock mother and another old lady from the grandmother temple came out, carrying two strange wooden objects, with a strange look down not far squatting at the root of the wall under us, and then walked to the altar in front of a pile of fire on the ground before the fire, will be in the hands of the things thrown into the fire, the fire whirring a little bigger, the fire jumped licked the icy cold air.
I froze, this ……
"Yinle, isn't that some kind of fucking sinful weapon?" Chen Jin touched me with his elbow and whispered, "Did Hu Laoshi not hide it? How did you let someone find it?"
I shook my head, "I don't know."
"What is the sinful weapon?" Liu Bin asked.
……
Chen Jin and I did not answer, eyes tightly fixed on the grandmother temple, thinking that there will not suddenly appear a what fucking evil thing, not good, this thing is again the white fox spirit did it, this bastard thing is not seriously injured it?
To our disappointment, nothing strange happened at the Grandmother Temple.
At this time, the invocation ceremony is in progress, the two clergymen once again stood up to learn the hobby of Hu Laoshi, chanting non-stop, and also non-stop bouncing, just bouncing speed is very slow, like a slow-motion movie played in general.
I really don't know how they did it, that movement is very difficult.
The fire was constantly being thrown into some earth-colored straw paper, the fire was very strong, and there would not be any signs of weakening. The incense burner was once again inserted with a lot of incense, smoke lingering, in the sunlight fluttering, constantly changing into strange shapes and forms. Around the crowd, the villagers are very enthusiastic about this to discuss and evaluate ……
Chen Jin and I stood up in unison, walked a few steps toward the front of the grandmother's temple, and then stopped, with a disdainful sneer on our faces, watching the comical and ridiculous invocation ceremony in progress.
The sky suddenly darkened, I raised my head to look at the sky, I don't know where a small dark cloud floated out, just to cover the sun, because there was no wind, the dark cloud was very arrogant to dominate that small piece of sky, even though the sun angrily emitted its rays from the dark cloud's surroundings, but it still couldn't directly penetrate through the dark cloud and warm the earth.
Apparently, no one else cared at all about such a phenomenon that wasn't really worth making a fuss about, so people were still enjoying watching those two godly men bouncing around. I could see that most of the people watching this scene looked as if they were watching two monkeys jumping around and acting to entertain the public, expecting their performance to win a smile from the humans and then give them a piece of candy.
But with these two particular monkeys, it wasn't candy they wanted, it was money.
It's a well-known fact that many people are willing to give them money to make money. I don't know if they were intentionally spending money just to have a good time.
Probably sensing that Chen Jin and I had a provocative flavor in our gazes, a few old ladies looked at us awkwardly and angrily, and then turned their heads away, not getting along with the two of us.
Chen Jin and I are very proud of this, the two looked at each other and laughed, so Chen Jin took out a cigarette and handed me one, Liu Bing came from behind and took another from Chen Jin's hand.
Three people swallowed clouds and fog, over there, the two god responsible for inviting the god of the two god stick has also been performed to the climax stage, mouth ho ho sound, constantly shouting, gibberish what the Queen Mother Sun Da Sheng, Tai Shang Laojun moon Chang'e, Rulai Buddha Goddess Guanshiyin …… messy heap of gods that invite all of them to invite, I pondered not right ah, his Grandma's so little a broken temple can live under so many gods and goddesses? Listen carefully to their chanting, oh, feelings are to sit to support the scene, as if the mother of the XuanMu Maiden housewarming new residence, all of you come to the warm room, this day I treat ……
That's what it means.
You say bullshit or not? A little bit of brains should be able to figure out that these two god stick is purely here to fool people, but I just can not understand, the old lady and many people, how to believe it?
You can't pretend to be a fool to such an extent, can you? It will make people feel invincible.
The crowd suddenly erupted into a burst of laughter, and then there were a lot of restless people began to point at the two magi there, laughing and joking, but soon they quieted down, although the two magi were very embarrassed slightly stopped, but did not care what they said, continue their performance. What made those few uneasy people feel even more uneasy was that the eyes of those old few of Mrs. Xu had shot out with a full murderous aura towards the people in the crowd who were gesticulating and joking, the power of which was very powerful.
Soon, the crowd quieted down, much quieter than before.
Chen Jin and I do not care about this, and even more complacent, secretly despise those few people who are not too peaceful, you still can not, look at me two people, see this group of old ladies dare to use that kind of eyes with killing qi look at us? The majestic true qi will directly shock them.
Suddenly, the two clergymen stopped jumping, legs spread out, face up to the sky, arms raised and open, shouted in unison: "Xuan mother mother mother descended to the earth ……."
The hearts and minds of the crowd trembled almost simultaneously, and they all quieted down, some gazing at the two magi, and some, like the two magi, looking up at the sky in the hope of seeing something odd happen.
Unfortunately, there was no difference in the sky, the sun was still glowing angrily behind the dark clouds, while the dark clouds were proudly slowly changing their appearance in the turquoise blue sky, but always arrogantly blocking the sun.
The two godly men shouted that sentence, gazed at the sky for a while, then lowered their heads, arms still held high, crossed legs began to move, left foot up, down, right foot up, down, constantly changing, bouncing up, bizarrely, their lowered heads kept shaking, their mouths emitted bizarre whimpering ho-ho-ho-ho voices, a trace of saliva from the corners of their mouths, dripping down to the ground, and the corners of their mouths tore out bright and crystalline The string of thread ……
In retrospect, I estimate that at that time, so many people on the cross street, I'm afraid that only I and Chen Jin extremely uneasy up, and that young grumpy heart began to stupid, and others, just still very calm to watch the show, and do not feel strange.
Chen Jin and I saw the clear sky and white sun, the two magi suddenly hazy up, and then, their appearance constantly changing up, a moment is a person, a moment is a hazy animal appearance …… gradually, Chen Jin and I finally clearly see, that hazy animal appearance, is… . foxes, a white one and a gray one.
The face of the godly man was facing downwards, and was constantly shaking and swinging, while the face of the fox was staring straight at Chen Jin and I, as well as Liu Bin.
The fox's eyes were full of disdain over contempt, with hateful annoyance, as well as a little bit of smugness rampant.
The fox's face was cunning and vicious, with a few of its chilly fangs exposed, flashing with a bit of coldness.
There was no doubt that it was an evil thing that had taken over.
Looking around at the crowd, none of their faces had a hint of feeling fear, I knew that none of them could see this bizarre phenomenon that was enough to chill them to the bone.
Chen Jin and I took steps towards those two godly men almost simultaneously.
Immediately after two steps, and they were sprinting steps at that, the two of us were pulled from behind.
Turning his head in shock, Hu Laoshi shook his head at the two of us with a serious expression and pulled hard on his hand, signaling the two of us to leave this place and follow him.
Chen Jin and I glanced at each other, both had no objections, so we nodded and followed Hu Lao Si as he squeezed through the crowd, heading south.
Walking through the crowd, I felt that there was a pair of eyes that had been staring at me, and being in a sensitive period, I quickly twisted my head, and the fierce light in my eyes was revealed as I looked straight at the other party.
I was stunned, then elated, and a wave of apology flooded within me.
I saw Liu Yawen, who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, and a few girls who were close to her were focused on the performance of the circle's magi, or rather, the evil sins and foreign objects.
Chen Jin and Hu Laoshi saw that I had stopped and was looking towards that side in a focused and moving way, so the two of them also spotted Liu Yaowen.
"Let's go, business is important." Hu Lao Si whispered from the side.
"Bullshit, marrying a daughter-in-law is more important than anything else." Chen Jin immediately retorted, patted my shoulder and said, "Yinle, go ask Ya Wen to find a secluded place to talk, this side of the matter has me and Hu Laoshi."
I nodded somewhat blankly, then suddenly came back to my senses, turned my head and said with an awkward sarcastic smile, "Go away, what are you talking about."
Hu Lao Si is very satisfied with my performance, turn around and continue to southbound, Chen Jin and I walk side by side, I pretend to be very indifferent look, head also do not look back walking, Chen Jin is twisting his head to look back, out of a few steps will stop, said: "Yinle, in my place, is the sky collapsing, I have to talk to the people Liu Yawen nagging so many days, in addition to a few things we have done? How much does the girl miss you in her heart?"
I hesitated for a moment, turned my head to look at Liu Yawen, seems to feel both Chen Jin and I are paying attention to her, Liu Yawen blushed, and then lowered his head, just a little low for a moment, then raised his head again, looking straight at me, eyes show incomparable firmness, more penetrating to let me incomparably guilty of the blame, resentment, worry …… Many, many.
For me, who was young and in love for the first time, this kind of eyes undoubtedly produced a huge killing power, pinning me hard on the spot.
Yes, as many people today describe it, a woman is made of water, and everything about her can be appropriately described with water.
Liu Ya Wen is water, her everything, is water, invisible will me surrounded in it, and then slowly, the body, eyes, thoughts, consciousness, feelings …… and so on, gathered into the sea, engulfed me in it, I was immersed in the sea in that moment, enjoying her gentleness, her calmness, her beautiful …… There is also the surging surges hidden in her depths, which suddenly explode and set off countless huge waves, carrying the energy of destroying the sky and killing me fiercely.
Yes, it is not that I am making a show of saying these words, this is the truth.
This is the love between young boys and girls that is very different and exactly the same in that era and today's era, ignorant love, sincere feelings.
Love that comes about very occasionally but inevitably.
I have made two contradictory statements.
In those days, there is no possibility of lovers soaking together all day long to get tired of each other, because people at that time are still special feudal, not to mention how other people will be poking their spines in the back to point fingers and say three or four, let alone our own, but also too embarrassed to go all day long to be together to entwine, not to mention the girls, it is even more embarrassed.
So only miss, between men and women is this, the so-called distance produces beauty, the more you can not get, can not be together, the more you miss, the more in love with each other, occasionally together, occasionally looking forward to being together, into the most desired moment, will be more cherished……
This is different from some of the relationships, nowadays.
The times they are a-changin', I guess.
No bullshit, shy ……
At that time, I made a decision in a very short period of time, I did not hesitate to drop a sentence to Hu Laoshi and Chen Jin, "Call me when you are in a dry battle, I will find you guys later." Then I walked towards Liu Yawen in the eyes of the two of them who were surprised.
It didn't seem to have occurred to me that I would boldly walk towards her in broad daylight in full view of the public, did it? Liu Yawen was a bit startled, hurriedly lowered her head, raised it again, twisted her head, twisted it over again, her face turned even redder, and her eyes already contained tears, shining brightly for me to see.
Liu Yawen finally turned around, lowered her head, her feet uncontrollably moved two steps toward the middle of a few good sisters, seems to be a little afraid, but there is some hesitation, don't want to drill into the middle of the sisters, worrying that I can't get in touch with her, right?
The distance is not far, I quickly walked to the front, and then very carefully looked around, fortunately, this is in the periphery of the crowd, fortunately, many people are concentrating on enjoying the entertainment program of jumping god. There were only a very few people who saw the dissimilarity between me and these girls.
I scanned the circle with cold eyes, so the people who were originally curious and ready to gossip dropped their heads and stopped looking this way.
Liu Yawen once again to the pile of people to squeeze, the result of the two girls pushed a little, bumped into my body, she is like a frightened deer, gently yelped, and then jumped away half a short distance.
The two girls laughed at me, then covered their mouths and turned their heads to snicker, and a few other girls noticed and snickered, turning their heads to cover their mouths, laughing happily.
I lowered my head, to Liu Yawen's face in front of me, scared Liu Yawen's feet did not move, but her head hurriedly to one side to hide, I laughed, said in a low voice, "Yawen, just these two days, our family will entrust the matchmaker to board the door to say that the marriage, the two of us are engaged to be married."
"Uh, ah? No ……" Liu Ya Wen was dumbfounded, she did not expect, I walked to her like this arrogantly, the first sentence will say these. She looked up at me, tears came out sharply in her eyes, "So many people, you hurry up and leave, don't be in front of me."
"Huh? Really let me go?" I said with a shameless smile.
"You quickly go, let people see, do not know what to say about me."
I twisted my head and swept a circle of children, those who attempted to peep in addition when the ear newspaper God eavesdropping gossip news blocked back, once again twisted his head and pressed his voice and whispered, "You drive me away again, I'll hug you."
"You …… dare!" Liu Yawen cupped her chest and murmured.
"Of course I dare, I also dare, kiss you."
"Ya ……" Liu Yawen freaked out, staring at me in a daze, the tears in her eyes came out of the sockets, and there was a trend of flooding.
I quickly smiled and said: "Well, well, teasing you, tonight, eight o'clock, I'm waiting for you in the back of the riverbank behind my house, must go, okay?"
"I, I can't go out, my mother won't let me go out."
"If you don't go I'll go to your house to look for you."
"How dare you!"
"Of course I dare."
"You ……"
……
Liu Yawen pouted and choked, "What for? Why are you so overbearing …… No wonder the people in the village say that you are not a good thing."
"Oh, I am indeed not a good thing." I nodded my head and admitted with great self-awareness, then continued, "But I miss you."
"…… Liar."
"Really, not lying."
"Don't believe it."
"I'll be waiting for you on the riverbank at the back of the house at eight o'clock after dinner, so remember to be there." I finished this sentence, and then turned my head and left.
Left with a face of surprise stunned Liu Ya Wen, dumbfounded staring at me, she was thinking, how I suddenly so domineering said such a sentence, as if some angry like left?
I did get angry, now I think of it really is a bit funny, love, girls, pampered, we have to coax a little bit is not it?
But at that time we first ah, inexperienced ah, and that temper really stinks, not that patience. There is …… actually I am thin-skinned, but also a person who wants to save face, and cares about so many people secretly watching you, they are in the heart of our slander, as well as the possibility of dirty thoughts.
So I was a little impatient to say that sentence, and then very unreasonable to leave. With the actual action clearly warned Liu Yawen: you have to come.
……
I'm a real piece of work, and my wife has been saying that about me ever since.
For this matter, she has been nagging to remember.
