prisoner in the door

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: "Red Jujube Village"

The little girl ran to Mo Zhenzhen's side and stopped, looked Mo Zhenzhen up and down, tilted her head and asked Mo Zhenzhen a question.

"Miss, where are you from?"

Mo Zhenzhen was silent, hesitated for a while and didn't speak, but lowered her head, acting like she was autistic.

The little girl held the windmill and circled Mo Zhenzhen twice, her gaze changed from doubt to understanding, and then a smile appeared on her face again.

"Oh, you're that Zhen from Daniel's family, you've grown up so much!"

Mo Zhenzhen felt that there was something wrong with what the little girl said, but she didn't show it, but continued to put on a frightening appearance.

After 'recognizing' Mo Zhenzhen, the little girl took a few steps back to distance herself from Mo Zhenzhen, waved the windmill in her hand, and asked a casual question.

"Ah Zhen, it's so late, where are you going?"

Mo Zhenzhen bowed her head and said in a low voice.

"Wall, the wall is down, I want to find some yellow mud to mend it."

"The wall fell down?" The little girl seemed to be stunned, and then she remembered it.

"Oh oh oh, the wall of your house fell down, isn't it? It's a big deal, but why aren't your parents working on it? I heard you're going to marry that old bachelor in the village? Your parents are really cruel."

Mo Zhenzhen didn't say a word, she just squeezed the handle of the big basket tightly with both hands, and the little girl couldn't bear to see her like this.

"Okay, don't be sad." The little girl obviously didn't know how to comfort others. After a pause, she could only remind: "Be careful when you go to the river. It's getting dark now. If you can’t finish it, go to the ancestral hall and ask the two door gods to go home and stick it on the door, don’t go out when the sun sets, and you haven’t got a family yet, so don’t provoke the filth outside.”

Ancestral hall? ...

It turns out that there is an ancestral hall in this seemingly dilapidated village...

Mo Zhenzhen bowed her head and thought silently, but the little girl didn't stay long after saying this, waved the windmill in her hand, and ran away again with the five or six children behind her.

Just like the sudden appearance of these children, their voices also disappeared abruptly after a few breaths.

Mo Zhenzhen raised her head and looked back sideways.

Behind her is the silent village, under the slanting afternoon sun, there is no one's silence between light and shadow.

……

Mo Zhenzhen went to the river to dig a basket of yellow mud.

Mo Zhenzhen's strength is not what it used to be. Although she is thin, her actual strength is comparable to that of a mature man who is used to farm work.

This should be the benefit of identity playing. Her appearance has been adjusted by unknown forces, and her body has also been optimized. I think other players should do the same.

A large basket of yellow mud weighed at least fifty catties, and Mo Zhenzhen carried the yellow mud home without even breathing.

After pouring the yellow mud into the yard, Mo Zhenzhen touched her abdomen, which had become smaller. After thinking for a while, she still took the dirty basket as a cover, and went to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall in this village is on the west side of the village, and the ancestral graves of the village are behind the ancestral hall.

Mo Zhenzhen came over dirty, stood outside the ancestral hall, and first took a careful look at the lintel.

Unlike the houses that some villagers live in that have been converted into brick and tile houses, this ancestral hall is still made of wood. It seems to be a few years old, and the style of construction is relatively retro.

However, the ancestral hall is old and old, but it is well maintained. Not only is it not dilapidated at all, but it also has a sense of grandeur and solemnity.

Mo Zhenzhen's body was covered with yellow mud marks, facing the closed black lacquered gate, she looked a little timid and at a loss on the face, but she was thinking secretly in her heart.

Just when she hesitated for a while and turned around to leave, the closed black door suddenly opened from the inside!
Mo Zhenzhen was 'startled' by the sudden opening of the door, took two steps back, then bowed her head down, holding the handle of the basket tightly with her dirty hands, like a frightened bird, as if Will be scared to run away at any time.

The person who opened the door was an old man in a black Tang suit. He had gray hair and a red face. Although he looked thin, he had a calm air. A small sandalwood rosary was wrapped around his left wrist. He looked at Mo Zhen. Jane's eyes were scrutinizing.

Mo Zhenzhen looks really embarrassed now, and she is cowardly enough, she doesn't look like an aggressive villain, so the old man first examines, after watching for a while, puts away the slightly sharp examination, and speaks coldly asked.

"It's Li Azhen, what are you doing in the ancestral hall?"

Mo Zhenzhen was silent, and Ka said cowardly before the old man got impatient.

"Home, the wall of the house is down, I think, I want to ask the door god."

The old man looked again at the yellow mud rubbed up on Mo Zhenzhen's body, and immediately understood.

"Where are your parents? Why don't they come by themselves?"

Although the old man was asking, he stepped aside and let Mo Zhenzhen come in first.

Mo Zhenzhen finally stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall and hesitated uncomfortably. While hesitating, she carefully rubbed the soles of her shoes that were stuck to the yellow mud.

The old man saw Mo Zhenzhen's small movements, he didn't take a second look, but said when he turned around.

"Come in, it's okay."

After hearing this, Mo Zhenzhen carefully walked through the open gate of the ancestral hall, and quietly looked at the ancestral hall from behind the old man.

Entering the gate of the ancestral hall, the first thing you see is the hanging plaques.

The number one scholar, the general of Hussars, the family of great kindness, full of loyalty and martyrs, the honorary mayor...

These plaques are not just one, but three or two. Smaller plaques such as Jinshi, No. [-], Tanhua, and Doctor can only be hung in the corners.

Standing in such an ancestral hall, if she is really Li Azhen, she must be proud and extremely honorable.

Mo Zhenzhen did exactly that.

Since entering the gate of the ancestral hall, she seemed less restrained and restless.

The old man turned his head to look at the little girl, and the cold eyes seemed to be a little gentler.

"You wait here, I will ask God."

Mo Zhenzhen was 'startled' by the old man's sudden sound, and she quickly lowered her head again, nodding in panic as if in agreement.

But when the old man was about to go inside, he stumbled and opened his mouth.

"I, I, my brother is back, can I go offer incense to my ancestors? My brother is going to take the college entrance examination..."

How to integrate into a village with an ancestral hall and most of the villagers have the same surname?
Trying to play the character of the original owner is not wrong?Mo Zhenzhen felt that it was not enough.

From a legal point of view, only those recorded in the same household registration book are considered family members. If they are not in the same household registration book, even if the other party is your biological father, you have to issue many written certificates to prove that the other party is your biological father.

Let alone just a villager.

Mo Zhenzhen has filmed Republic of China dramas. Although Su Zhenzhen was the real filmmaker, she has read the scripts, and she handles some other matters. She also has some understanding of clan culture.

Before finding the ancestral hall, she just wanted to try to see if she could come in. Now that she has entered the ancestral hall, she must of course knock her identity stronger.

The old man turned his head to look at Mo Zhenzhen again, he seemed to be appraising and puzzled, but in the end the old man did not embarrass Mo Zhenzhen who was in a mess, but nodded.

"Go." After thinking for a while, the old man added. "Your brother has parents, and his parents will ask him for his future. I heard that you are getting married soon... Go burn incense for your ancestors, and your ancestors will bless you."
