mountain farmer

Chapter 174
(Thanks to friend 08a for rewarding and encouraging)

Worshiping mountains is a meticulous job.This mountain worship is not the kind of mountain worship in the rivers and lakes in the past, but to worship the gods on the mountain.

Last night, I went to ask the third grandfather for advice, and the old man was very happy.Usually, no one from the family comes over. For those who come here to ask for advice, the old man is very talkative.

If you talk about it in detail, there are a lot of things to pay attention to in worshiping mountains.According to the customs of Lijiagou in the early years, the official day of worshiping the mountain is on the first day of the new year.

Then all the men, women and children in the village will walk up the mountain with offerings before dawn.You have to have all these things ready before the sun comes out.When the sun rises, you will start worshiping here.

This shows a piety, and Tude also feels at ease.After all, you are looking for food in the mountains. Whether you are cutting trees or hunting, in the past, you were eating in the mountains.

What if it happened to be cloudy in the first day of junior high school?If you don't care, you can continue to worship.If you care about something, you have to come back in the second year of junior high school.

Of course, this is all about the old emperor's calendar, and Lijiagou hadn't paid homage to the mountain decades ago.

Now Liu Fugui has become the short-term temporary owner of these mountains, so it doesn't matter if he misses the day, and it doesn't matter whether it will be sunny tomorrow.As long as you pass by and bring the sacrifice, the matter will be settled.

The sacrifices are also particular, basically they are three sacrifices and four fruits.Pigs, cattle and sheep, these are the three major animals.Serious and rich people used to use the whole head to lift it up, and ordinary rich people used the head instead.

Liu Fugui can't afford to give away the whole head here. If he is really rich in a few years, he can study it. Now he can at most replace it with a head, and match it with a small three animal.The little three animals are chickens, ducks and fish.

It's all at home, he doesn't feel bad about it.And after the worship, these are actually edible.

The four fruits are not so particular, as long as they are fruits that bloom and bear fruit, they can be made together, and the mountain gods don't pick this.

One day of preparation, another day of waiting.Because it is written in the almanac that these two days are not suitable for these worship activities.Today's day can be regarded as a coincidence, it is the dragon raising its head on February [-].

"Brother Fugui, are you ready, shall we set off now?" Ping An made another count and said when he came to Liu Fugui's side.

"Then let's go." Liu Fugui nodded, and then looked at the Third Grandfather, "Third Grandfather, why don't you rest at home first? I'm sorry to bother you to come here this early in the morning."

"Haha, I'm a lonely old man, and I can't sleep at home, so I might as well join in the fun with you." The third grandfather said with a smile.

"And if something happens to you, I can also take a look at it for you. Although I didn't do this job before, I've lived a lot longer and seen a lot, so let's do it like a gourd."

"Sure, old man, please go first." Liu Fugui responded, stood aside, and guided him with a blank body.

The third grandfather nodded, and then strode forward in a swift stride.

This is also the rule, the older one takes the lead.There is not so much emphasis on the latter, it can be Liu Changshun who followed because he is the father.It could also be Liu Fugui following, because he is now the head of the Liu family.

There were not too many people, Liu Changguo's family of three, Zhang Zhu and Liu Fugui's family of four, all followed behind the third grandfather.

These are all subordinates of Liu Fugui's company, and they will be traveling in the mountains in the future, so Liu Fugui took them with them.When I delivered food to Deyuelou yesterday, I packed a little more.After the worship, Ping An had to go to Yanbei City.

Don't look at the age of the third grandpa, the old man's body is really tough.Although the mountain road ahead is not as smooth as walking on flat ground, people walked very steadily.

Occasionally, I will turn around and chat with you a few words. This old man is the most relaxed among this group of people.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the pig's head and bull's head are carried on the back to take out the table.It took nearly an hour longer than usual to climb to the top of the mountain.

It's not bad, Father Sun hasn't gone to work yet, so it's a good sign for worshiping the mountain today.

The place to worship the mountain was stepped on by the third grandfather in advance, and the direction was found.Regardless of the fact that this event has not been held for decades, the old man remembers it very accurately.

The table was set up, and a red cloth was spread on it and an incense burner was placed on it.Then arrange the three animals, big and small, and four fruits. This preparatory activity is considered to be over.

"Fugui, when you are worshiping the mountain later, talk to Grandpa the Mountain God, don't think about it in your heart, you have to talk about it." The third grandpa came to Liu Fugui and said seriously.

"This is also our first worship in decades. You should be serious and sincere, and make a good omen. The mountains here should indeed be taken care of by someone."

Liu Fugui nodded seriously, and glanced to the east.

Now that everything has been taken care of, he also pins his hopes on this unknown mountain god grandfather.Even, more than others.

Because there used to be a magical bead in his stomach, although it came from that silly old man, but it worked.

"Third Lord, when do you light the incense?" Liu Fugui asked a little nervously.

"Well, in fact, just follow the fate. You can also wait for the sun to show up in the sky, and then you can light incense." The third grandpa took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile.

"Then the big guys will be ranked behind Fugui, the big on the left, and the male first. As for the children, let's follow Fugui. The girl is not from the blood of your Liu family, but she is related. This time it can be regarded as helping her Pray for blessings, let the mountain god grandpa help you take a look."

Originally, Lele, who was watching the excitement with three dog legs, was a bit bored, but now when the white-bearded grandpa told him to stand beside his father, the little guy was overjoyed.

In the early morning, people are already very sleepy.Now that Dad still does things and listens to this old man with a white beard, it's not wrong for him to listen to him.

The ground on the top of the mountain is not so flat.The little guy hadn't run two steps before he lost his footing and fell forward.Before everyone had time to worry, the whiteboard jumped to the front with a "swish", and Xiao Lele, who fell over, just lay on top of it.

Xiao Lele didn't have anything to do, she touched the white board's head with her hand, and the white board also licked the little guy's little hand a few times with her own tongue.

Lele was so itchy, and he forgot that he should stand by Liu Fugui's side, and he played with his three dog legs here.

The third grandpa on the side watched this scene, but was a little dazed, and forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand.Burnt to the finger, a shiver before throwing the cigarette butt away.
