After the ancestor of metaphysics dressed as a fake pregnant cannon fodder

In the evening, Cheng Yu and Qi Yuqiu followed Chen Yanyu up the mountain.

Chen Yanyu and Chen Yanjin were wearing plain white clothes, holding bamboo baskets in their hands, and the baskets contained various sacrificial supplies.

Tonight's moon is shrouded in cloudy clouds, the mountains are dark, and the path is rugged. Qi Yuqiu and Cheng Yu are carrying high-power flashlights to illuminate the front.

After walking for about half an hour, they reached the middle of the mountain. The original sound of insects around them gradually faded away and disappeared. Cheng Yu was a little suspicious and shone the light of the flashlight into the grass beside the path, but found nothing.

Chen Yanyu and Chen Yanjin didn't seem to notice any abnormalities, and they still walked forward with their heads buried.

Cheng Yu sighed, approached Qi Yuqiu quietly, and said, "There won't be anything following us?"

He couldn't help shaking while speaking.

Qi Yuqiu tilted his head slightly towards him with his hands over his mouth, and said in a low voice, "No, there was something following him, but after going halfway up the mountain, that thing also disappeared."

"My god!" Cheng Yu yelled, and tightly grasped Qi Yuqiu's arm, wishing to stick her whole body against him.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yanyu turned around and asked in confusion.

Cheng Yu smiled: "No, it's nothing, I seem to have stepped on something just now."

Qi Yuqiu snickered, and whispered, "I'm just kidding."

Cheng Yu: ...

"You boy, looking for a fight, it's so dark, aren't you afraid to say what you say?" As soon as he finished speaking, the grass not far from his left hand suddenly became restless, making a rattling sound, and he quickly raised his hand. The hand shone across, and a half-meter-long black shadow leaped across in the light of the flashlight, leaving only a swaying bush.

"What!" Cheng Yu shouted loudly.

Chen Yanjin scratched his head: "Maybe it's a wild rabbit or a weasel?"

"Yes, is it?" Cheng Yu panted heavily, and wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly.

Chen Yanyu joked, "What do you think it is? A mandrill or a mountain ghost?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and hurry up." Cheng Yu pushed him, and said in a rough voice, Qi Yuqiu swiped the flashlight in the direction where the thing disappeared, and followed the people in front with a smile.

After walking for another ten minutes, the place illuminated by the light suddenly became clear, and they came to a wide platform.

Chen Yanyu turned around and said to Cheng Yu and Qi Yuqiu: "This is it. From here, you can see the whole Qingxi Town, even the locust tree at the head of the town in the east."

As he spoke, he motioned for the two to follow, and led them to a large rock on the other side of the platform.

"Look, the Paper Festival, this is the most beautiful night in Qingxi Town of the year, so beautiful." Chen Yanyu pointed down the mountain and said with emotion.

Looking around, unlike the dark and deserted mountains, Qingxi Town is lit with lights everywhere, paper lanterns decorate all the streets and courtyards, and countless light spots are lit on the streets, like flowing rivers of light.

"What a good day." Chen Yanyu murmured, Qi Yuqiu looked at him from the corner of his eye, his eyes were blurred, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qi Yuqiu said softly: "It's indeed a good day, it's time to offer sacrifices and break ground, and start the business."

"Really." Chen Yanyu's voice returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Then my family really picked a good day."

Cheng Yu sensed that he was in a bad mood and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Okay, Yanjin and I are going to light the lamp, you two can go around." Chen Yanyu rubbed his face, took a deep breath and said.

After speaking, he turned around and got off the stone platform, leading Chen Yanjin to another direction.

Cheng Yu also silently followed the two of them to the foot of a mountain wall.

A small pile of four stones lay quietly among the half-meter-high weeds. Chen Yanyu's face remained unchanged, and he took out a machete from the basket to clean up the grass, and then opened a white cloth bag.There were four wooden signs in the cloth bag, and he placed the wooden signs one by one in front of the stone pile, only then did Qi Yuqiu and Cheng Yu see the words on them clearly.

There are four ranks, and the red cinnabar traces the names of people on the black wood. At first glance, it looks a little creepy.

Cheng Yu quietly took two steps back.

"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I'm back to see you." Chen Yanyu squatted on the ground and arranged the things in the basket one by one.

Chen Yanjin also squatted down, pursed his lips tightly, and lit a handful of paper money.

Cheng Yu frowned. He has been friends with Chen Yanyu for nearly seven years, and he has never heard him talk about his family. He thought he was just coming back to pay homage to his grandparents. He was still wondering why Chen Yanyu's parents didn't come.

Unexpectedly, their family of four was buried in this small piece of land.

Chen Yanyu said that his family has been dead for more than 20 years. Didn't he lose all his family members when he was one or two years old?It is also impossible for Chen Yanjin to be his biological sister.

After Chen Yanyu arranged the things, he took out four black things from the basket. Cheng Yu took a closer look and found that they were four paper lanterns.

The paper lamp is in the shape of a lotus flower, but the petals are not white or pink, but black. When lit, the black lamp reveals a hint of weirdness.

"Parents, grandparents, it's been 20 years, and I can finally pierce the white phoenix." Chen Yanyu poured a glass of wine and sprinkled it in front of the four stone graves, "Uncle urges me all day, I can't pierce the white phoenix again, maybe this year I'm going to see you with my arms hanging."

"I heard that my father learned it after nearly ten years of study. I'm probably a little more talented than my father. I was taught by my uncle who can't even twist the paper twister well. It only took me four years to learn it. Woolen cloth."

Chen Yanyu seemed to think of something interesting, and laughed softly.

"I heard that the surname Hu started making paper dragons this year. I don't know if he dares to give paper dragons eyes with his hands."

The four black lotus lamps were always on. After Chen Yanyu finished speaking, he poured wine on them, and the flames burst into flames in an instant. The lotus was bathed in fire, but it was not ignited. , like life, blooming and withering, and finally turned into a handful of ashes.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Cheng Yu quickly took out the camera he carried with him, pointed at the four flowers, and photographed the process of them from blooming to "withering".

After the lotus flower was burned, Chen Yanyu smiled again, picked up four cards, and threw them into the fire in front of Chen Yanjin.

"Hey——" Cheng Yu cried out in surprise, it was the tablets of Chen Yanyu's parents and grandparents, why did they burn them!

Chen Yanyu turned around and said with a smile: "This tablet is old, it's time to replace it with a new one."

Cheng Yu nodded in embarrassment and stopped talking.

After the tablets were burned, the two got up and said to Cheng Yu, "Go and take some night scenes. After these two days, if you want to take pictures of Qingxi Town at night, you will have no chance."

Cheng Yu patted his head, and said: "I just watched it patronizingly, but I didn't expect it. It's a pity that I didn't bring the two boys Sheng Yuke and Yue Yuze up."

When Cheng Yu rushed to the stone platform in a hurry, Chen Yanyu smiled lightly and said, "Go over and have a look, he's absorbed in taking pictures, but he doesn't care about anything."

At this time, a fire suddenly ignited not far from the platform. Qi Yuqiu looked serious, and walked quickly to Cheng Yu's side. Cheng Yu pointed the camera at the fire, and could vaguely see several people who With his back to the fire, he ran towards this side.

Chen Yanyu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the figures with a blank expression on his face.

"That seems to be the place where the accident happened today." Cheng Yu frowned, "Shouldn't the scene of the accident be sealed off? Why would someone go up in the middle of the night? Could it be that the murderer came to destroy the evidence?"

"Brother!" Chen Yanjin quietly grabbed Chen Yanyu's sleeve, and Chen Yanyu patted her hand: "It's okay."

"Do you want to call the police? It's really a murderer, we still have to hide." Cheng Yu turned off two flashlights and lowered his voice.

Qi Yuqiu clicked his tongue: "The distance is so close, they must have seen our light before they set the fire."

"Then what should I do? Is there still time to run?" Cheng Yu lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that those people would overhear him.

Chen Yanyu shook his head and said, "Maybe it's an acquaintance, wait a minute."

The four of them stood on the stone platform, turned on the light, and waited for a long time before seeing the three of them limping up.

Cheng Yu's light came on, and walking in the middle, the old man supported by the other two frowned and covered his eyes.

"Old He, it's me, it's me!" The old man shouted loudly, "Turn off the light quickly, I'm about to go blind."

Chen Yanyu moved the flashlight away, and smiled softly: "Mr. Hu, you have misunderstood the person. I am not Uncle He. Have you made an appointment with Uncle He here? Then we have to make room for you as soon as possible."

That old man was Hu Jiuhe who rejected Qi Yuqiu and others today.

Hu Jiuhe's expression froze, and he squinted his eyes to look at them. When he saw the person standing on the stone platform clearly, he opened his mouth, broke away from the support of the two apprentices, and walked a few steps towards this side.

"You, you are, you are Xiao Yu!" He staggered to the stone platform and sat down on the ground.

Chen Yanyu knelt down and looked down at him condescendingly: "My name is Chen Yanyu, Mr. Hu, you must have mistaken someone."

"No, no, I remember correctly, you are Xiao Yu, I remember correctly..." Mr. Hu looked a little dazed, struggling to get up, but he couldn't stand up anyway.

One who followed him was Han Xiang, and the other was his great apprentice Liang Jianguo.Seeing this, Han Xiang hurried over to help Hu Jiuhe up, and glared at Chen Yanyu angrily: "My master is so old, can't you come down and help him?"

Chen Yanyu got up, bowed her head slightly, with a smile on her face: "Mr. Hu, do you want me to come down and help you?"

Hu Jiuhe shook his head hastily, stepped back a few steps, his figure was precarious, Han Xiang quickly supported his back.

Chen Yanyu came down from the stone platform, walked in front of Hu Jiuhe, picked up the basket on the ground, turned around and was about to leave, Hu Jiuhe reached out to grab him, but Chen Yanyu dodged,

"You, you are back. I tied the green dragon, and I can finish it tonight. Will you come over tomorrow?" Hu Jiuhe looked at Chen Yanyu expectantly with pleading eyes.

Liang Jianguo came over and said anxiously: "Master, what are you talking about, that dragon didn't even fix the frame, how could it be done tomorrow!"

"Shut up! If you can't finish it, are you just eating?" Hu Jiuhe glared at Liang Jianguo violently, and Liang Jianguo immediately fell silent.

Chen Yanyu looked back, tilted his head slightly and looked at him: "What am I going to do? I don't know you well, do I?"

"Besides, tomorrow night is the mountain god festival. If you don't prepare the things for the mountain god festival, what kind of green dragon are you going to tie? When Mr. Jin comes back, you haven't prepared anything, so it's not easy to explain to him."

Chen Yanyu shook the white cloth on the basket, looked up at Hu Jiuhe, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hu Jiuhe froze, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at him again.

"However, this year's Mountain God Festival may be the last time." Chen Yanyu said casually, "Mr. Hu, you should prepare well, otherwise, I don't know what the consequences will be."

"One last time." Hu Jiuhe's face tensed, he lowered his head, his eyes sharpened, "Tomorrow night, Xiao Yu, don't stay here, take your friends far away, everything will be over tomorrow. "

Chen Yanyu smiled without saying a word, shrugged, turned and walked down the mountain.

Qi Yuqiu looked at the gradually extinguished fire in the distance, sighed, and took a deep look at Hu Jiuhe.

"Young people, you leave quickly tomorrow, this Qingxi Town is really meaningless." Hu Jiuhe shook his head with a disgusted expression.

Qi Yuqiu smiled and said, "Let's come to see the Mountain God Sacrifice, and then we'll leave. Don't worry, nothing will happen to us."

Hu Jiuhe looked at Qi Yuqiu, and suddenly smiled: "You, have you noticed that everyone here is covered with blood, and the blood is all over the ground, but for the sake of money and future, no one Shout out, these people should pay off their debts."

"Hey, don't say that. Don't drag the whole town into the water for what you are doing." Qi Yuqiu disagreed, "Forget it, let's talk about it when Mr. Jin comes back tomorrow."

"Jin Hai." Hu Jiuhe read the name in an unpredictable tone, not knowing whether it was hatred or regret.
