Chapter 398 Just Call Shunzi

After leaving Grandma Jin's house, Uncle Xiao Ran followed Li Dongfu to the village.Those who watched the excitement before were also walking home in twos and threes at this time. When they saw Uncle and Nephew Xiao Ran, their eyes were full of "respect, but stay away".

Taking advantage of the courtyard doors not being closed, Xiao Ran took a general look at the buildings in the village and the furnishings in the courtyards of the houses.Most of the houses here are buildings of the dynasty clan with upturned eaves like crane wings, a few relatively well-to-do families, swings and seesaws can be seen in the spacious yard, all of these are consistent with what Xiao Ran saw in some books about folklore.

There is also a small part of Han-style tile-roofed houses with pointed roofs, which are not much different from the Han-style houses he saw in the suburbs of Beijing, Futou Village, and Ganggang Yingzi.The only feature is that there are some small stone statues on the roofs of these tiled houses and in front of the doors, which shows that the village still needs to "get closer to science".

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Grandma Jin's house, but he suddenly found that Grandma Jin's house is even more unique, different from the residences of the Dynasty and Han Dynasty. The outer wall is flat with doors and windows on the front and two circles on both sides. It is arc-shaped, with a pointed and high top, and is covered with hay. From a distance, it looks like a rocket whose side has been cut vertically.

He asked Li Dongfu curiously: "Isn't your village mixed with Han Dynasty?"

Li Dongfu replied earnestly: "Yes, that's right. In fact, it's not just Chaohan. If you talk carefully, there are also man and Mongolian things. But these years have been mixed into Chaohan, and some living habits have been retained."

"Oh, I see that your village is mainly composed of buildings from the Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. The Grandmother Jin is also from the Dynasty? Why is her house different from yours?"

Li Dongfu turned his head and looked at it, thought about it and said: "Grandmaid Jin's surname is Jin, but she is not Jin from the Chao clan. An old saying. When a man died at the hands of a little devil when she was young, she never remarried, and when she left, the old man would be gone..."

Xiao Ran remembered that Mrs. Jin had said a few unrecognizable words when she moved the evil spirits, but it turned out to be the old Xie's language.Thinking about it, her moving evil is also different from the local horsemen and shamans. It is a separate system.

"The Xi'an clan respects the Xi'an immortals, so they use the Xi'an as their family name. The history is not shorter than that of the Han Dynasty. It's a pity..." The second uncle murmured.

After walking for a while, a few people arrived at Li Dongfu's house. The lights in the main room were on, and a burst of laughter came from it. Li Dongfu's wife could be vaguely seen taking a bath for the three boys, and beside them were two children who were about seven and five years old. The girl, also helped.

It turned out that the third boy was also the only one, no wonder Li Dongfu was in such a hurry.

The two settled down in the east wing room, and the second uncle asked Li Dongfu specifically, asking for a small jar of chicken blood that was left for the chicken slaughtered as a tribute, and poured it into the woven bag he had been carrying all the time. .

The blood-eating lichen wrapped in the chicken in the woven bag writhed for a while after being soaked in blood, and then fell silent for a while.According to the second uncle's thinking, when he enters the deep mountains and old forests, he still has to rely on this thing to lead the way. Who knows if Mrs. Jin will ask three questions again tomorrow.

The two were about to fall asleep, when Li Dongfu knocked on the door carefully and came in, followed by his wife, holding the third boy who had just been washed in his arms.

"Come on, kowtow to the nobleman!"

Li Dongfu gave the order, and the child was also very smart, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Xiao Ran and the second uncle in a decent manner.Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled the child up, and saw that he was cleansed and his eyes were as clear as a child's, so he hugged him in his arms and said, "It smells so good, do you still bite uncle? Do you still bite grandpa?" ?”

The child also seemed to know something, biting his fingers and retracting into Xiao Ran's arms, with a shy smile on his face.

The second uncle also took the child to tease him, and asked, "What's the child's name?"

Li Dongfu scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I used to have a baby name, and I called it indiscriminately. It's not like this. My mother and I just got together, and it can be regarded as two nobles who gave the child a gift." For a new life, I ask you to name the child again..."

Xiao Ran has never experienced such a thing as naming a child.He looked at the second uncle with some embarrassment, but the second uncle casually said while teasing the child, "Then let's try to be safe and smooth, and the third child is called Li Sanshun, and his nickname is Shunzi, how about it? "

This name is in line with the naming habits of the dynasty. When Li Dongfu heard this, he quickly pulled his wife and bowed: "Thank you, uncle, I will call you Li Sanshun. Shunzi, thank you grandpa!"

The child didn't know how to say thank you, but just nodded solemnly to the second uncle obediently, and said, "Ah!"

The appearance of the child made everyone laugh, Li Dongfu took the child, let Xiao Ran and nephew take a good rest, and brought his wife back to the house.

Shunzi... Shunzi... the name, together with this place, made Xiao Ran feel a little familiar, as if there was some connection between them.But the second uncle next to him was already snoring, and he was afraid that if he didn't go to bed quickly, he would have to listen to the second uncle's snoring this night.

In the dimness, he fell asleep.In his dream, he saw several people walking on the snow-capped mountains, as if they were looking for someone or some important secret.

The person walking in the front seemed to be the guide of the team, and the people behind him shouted his name from time to time, a name that made Xiao Ran feel very familiar.

"Shunzi..."

"Shunzi..."

"Shunzi!"

There was a "bang" sound from the door, and a burst of giggling and giggling children came in. Immediately afterwards, Li Dongfu pulled Shunzi out and whispered, "Shunzi, don't disturb uncle's sleep! Go outside and play!"

Xiao Ran crawled up and met Li Dongfu's gaze.Li Dongfu smiled embarrassingly, and said: "The child is naughty, and he insisted on running to your house to disturb you..."

Xiao Ran looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock, and the second uncle's bed beside him had already been made up.

He waved his hand to Li Dongfu, and got up too.Li Dongfu took the child away, and after a while brought hot water and towels, Xiao Ran hastily washed up and went out, only to see that the smoke in the kitchen was about to go out.

He happened to be in time for breakfast, and there was a large table of various side dishes and corn porridge, which had a special flavor.Li Dongfu's wife also wore the national costume of the dynasty, which looked very grand.

Xiao Ran looked at Li Dongfu who was dressed in white, and asked curiously: "Is there any festival in the village today?"

Li Dongfu shook his head and said: "That's not true, but Grandma Jin is going to invite her ancestors at home today. These things are generally not allowed in the village, so we all put on festive costumes, and we will perform the village traditions for the two guests." It's the show."

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that feudal superstition is not a good thing, but national traditional culture is another matter.

After breakfast, several people hurried to Mrs. Jin's house.
