In the famine year, the group pet cubs awakened to farm in Shanhaijing

Chapter 227 Sacrifice to the Mountain God

Ji Huai lowered his eyes and stroked all the braids for her.

Hearing her opening her mouth, she bent her lower lip helplessly, and said, "You're used to wronging me, who said last time that if you stay in bed, you're a puppy?"

Cheng Miaomiao blinked innocently, pretending she didn't hear the words.

She got up excitedly, took Ji Huai's hand and walked out, saying: "Hurry up, Uncle Zhang has already been found, if we are late again this time, he will have to go to the mountain temple to chatter It's been a long time."

Ji Huai corrected, "It's you."

"I know, I know, I just slept in."

Cheng Miaomiao waved his hands nonchalantly, looked at the dozen or so children standing in the hall with a smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, and waved, "Come on!"

A group of people immediately ran out laughing and joking.

The silver bell hanging around his waist jingled.

This is what Chen Tao saw when he ran to look for someone. He was stunned for a while, only to feel that his ears were full of messy bells, jingle bells and laughter mixed together. It was the first time he saw so many bells .

What is this doing?
Then I saw the tall boy and the girl who were walking slowly behind and talking.

In the past few years, Ji Huai has been the fastest-growing person in the whole village. He looks only a little thinner than an adult, and no one can tell that he is actually only fourteen years old.

When I was a child, I was wearing coarse linen clothes, and I didn't have an inferior appearance. After entering the teenage years, I really shined.

In the past two years, there have been countless people in the village who have secretly poked and found out who want to marry him in advance.

It's just that he always has an indifferent attitude when facing others, even if he is like this, it can't dispel the thoughts of those people.

Every year at the mountain god sacrifice, Ji Huai would be recognized as the best-looking person in the village and asked him to present flowers to the mountain god.

Thinking of this, Chen Tao couldn't help being a little jealous. When the target was Ji Huai, those girls thought it was okay to be cold-faced. When the target was him, they were picky about their appearance and bad personality.

The differences between people are obvious to all.

Chen Tao shook his head and got rid of the messy things in his mind. It was still important to get down to business. He ran over quickly: "My two ancestors, the village chief is going crazy, why are you two so slow? of."

He hated iron and steel, and stretched out his hand to grab the two of them.

In the end, he was stopped by Ji Huai before he touched him.

Cheng Miaomiao gave him a reassuring look, and said confidently, "No rush, I won't be late."

"I've counted the time. Have you seen me being late for such an important occasion in these years?"

After she said this, Chen Tao also remembered.

Although she always has all kinds of crooked ideas and often steps on them, she has never been delayed by being late.But he was still a little worried, and kept urging him, "Although that's the case, it's not absolute. It's always better to arrive early."

"Hurry up, the whole village is waiting for you two."

Chen Tao kept urging in their ears.

Cheng Miaomiao couldn't listen to his tireless nagging, so she had to speed up to keep up. She looked up at the sky while running, and muttered something in a low voice, so soft that Chen Tao couldn't hear it.

Ji Huai turned his head to look at her, and smiled very lightly.

You can still laugh at other people, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

It seemed that she hadn't really felt tired from hunting monsters at night in the past few days.

Apparently it's just word of mouth.

·
In the end they still stepped on it.

As soon as Cheng Miaomiao and his party arrived, they were immediately scolded by Aunt Lin: "I forgot what day it is today? You dare to come so late on such an important day for the sacrifice of the mountain god. Are you rushing to scold me?"

They all bowed their heads expertly like quails.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin couldn't help but put her hips on her hips and scolded with a smile: "Your shoes are embroidered with flowers, so you are looking down at something, so cheer up, after worshiping the mountain god, it will be your turn to dance the sacrificial dance! "

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Understood, Aunt Lin."

Cheng Miaomiao smiled at her when she heard the words.

Aunt Lin poked her forehead with her finger, and said with a smile, "As long as you have a lot of ghost ideas, tell me, what do you want to do this year?"

"Well, there will be no surprises if you say it."

She quickly covered her mouth and shook her head.

Seeing that she refused to disclose it no matter what, Aunt Lin had no choice but to give up.

Then Cheng Miaomiao stood on tiptoe and looked around, said: "By the way, Aunt Lin, why didn't you see my father and mother? Didn't Aunt say last night that I don't need to go to the shop today? Why hasn't she come yet?"

"Your father and mother have gone to worship at the mountain temple, and will be here soon."

Since the mountain temple was built, people in the village have to go there to burn incense before participating in the sacrifice every year. At first, it was a spontaneous behavior, but later it became that not offering incense means disrespecting the mountain god.

Therefore, going to the temple to burn incense has become an iron rule.

Both Cheng Lin and Ye Ning were very busy, and it was already too late when the couple finished their work and met, and it would take some time to go to the mountain temple to worship.

Ji Huai said lightly: "This rule shouldn't have been added."

Hearing this, Cheng Miaomiao immediately nodded in agreement.

She does enjoy the incense of believers, but this does not mean that this behavior should become a binding rule.

Aunt Lin frowned slightly, and when she was about to speak, she saw Cheng Miaomiao suddenly jumped up, raised her hand and shook her hand, and shouted happily, "Daddy, Mommy, I'm here!"

Not far away, Cheng Lin and his wife looked at each other and walked over quickly.

Ye Ning is wearing lavender clothes today, with a more formal bun, a jade hairpin on his head, a faint smile on his lips, and a neat and capable temperament all over his body.

Cheng Lin was wearing a dark blue gown with a pair of black boots, looking like a Confucian scholar.

He shook his wide cuffs a little out of habit.

Looking at her sideways, he said in distress: "Ah Ning, can we discuss first, whether we can change it to sleeves when we make new clothes next time? This dress looks comfortable, but it's a little troublesome to wear."

He spends his days in the fields and doesn't have much time to wear them.

Ye Ning took his hand and squeezed it, smiled and said hello to Aunt Lin in front, then turned her head and said: "Be patient, you only wear this a few times a year, the most important thing is to look good."

On the day of offering sacrifices to the mountain gods, everyone wears new clothes to show piety.

"……OK then."

The family of four finally met face to face.

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes lighted up slightly, and he opened his mouth to praise the two from head to toe, and gave a thumbs up with a smile.

The mouth sweetness is amazing.

Ji Huai nodded to the two of them.

At this moment, an old and dull voice sounded: "The auspicious time has come, sacrifice to the mountain god—"

Ye Ning's face changed slightly, and he pulled Miaomiao and Ji Huai to stand up consciously.

Although Cheng Miaomiao didn't really want to do this kind of behavior of "I sacrifice myself and kneel down and even dance for myself", but he had no other choice, otherwise he might be scolded for being disrespectful to the mountain god.

After completing this series of pious worship, it is the turn to dance the sacrificial dance.

Cheng Miaomiao's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

It's finally here, the stage for her show!
Cheng Lin said worriedly: "Steady."

Cheng Miaomiao seriously retorted: "I have always been very stable."

After speaking, she stepped out confidently and walked up to the altar with other children in fancy clothes.After everyone got into dancing positions, Cheng Miaomiao moved first, followed by the others.

A crisp silver bell sounded immediately on the stage.

Other than that, the dance was quite satisfactory, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Ye Ning felt a little strange, looked at Ji Huai and asked, "Brother Huai, what did Miaomiao prepare this time?"

"A hundred birds face the phoenix."

"??"
