fight for day

They parked their car not too close, and they could see a small red brick building from a distance. On the arched door was a sign that said "Nursing students".

There is a tall stone platform on one side of the small building, which looks like an ancient altar, but it is really very old, and the thick stone steps around it are full of cracks, and the gaps are full of moss and weeds.

Surrounded by many people, a few makeshift earthen stoves burned the pot red, turning over the pot, washing the vegetables, busy in full swing.

But after being busy, the order of the whole venue was not too chaotic, and people spoke in a low voice. Seven or eight round tables had already been set up on the flat ground farther away. Many adults and children were sitting around, and no one made any noise.

When Lu Zhou and Bai Su really arrived, many people looked at them. Lin Yue found a place for them to sit down, and said hello to an old man at the next table: "Uncle! This is my friend. Let's have a meal together and return to Ducheng later."

Ye Xu nodded respectfully: "The village chief."

The village chief, who was very thin in his seventies, looked at them gloomily.

Lu Zhou greeted uncomfortably: "Hello, village chief."

His expression was not good, as if he was about to say no in the next second, Lin Yue quickly hugged his arm: "We just have a meal, we won't worship the altar! Uncle! It's noon, you have the heart to keep me Hungry!"

The village chief endured it, and patted her arm reproachfully: "You can find trouble... eat when you eat, don't run around."

The last sentence was addressed to the two of them, Bai Suzhen kept looking around, Lu Zhou quickly patted him on the back, and said yes.

"I'm going to change clothes." Ye Xu said to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue: "Go, I'll save a place for you."

Ye Xu paused: "No need, the children have to sit together."

Lin Yue was curious: "You are so old, can't you sit alone?"

She hasn't participated in this outdated blessing ceremony for several years, and almost forgot about it.

Ye Xu smiled faintly: "Before I left, it didn't matter how old I was...I'm leaving."

Looking at her slender back, Lu Zhou always felt weird, but couldn't put it into words.

The people at the same table also looked at him from time to time, Lu Zhou was quite uncomfortable, and simply took out his mobile phone to send Ye Zhuming a message.

[Brother Ye, how are you doing there? 】

Ye Zhuming stretched out his hand, broke off a branch blocking the way, frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure you didn't go wrong?"

Ba Ma identified the direction in front of him, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, we were afraid of getting lost at the time, Xiaobai changed his prototype and went straight, and the imprint on the ground is so deep, it can't be wrong...Look, it's almost here."

The grass in front of them was crushed badly, and the tree trunks were broken a lot, as if there had been a violent large-scale fight.

"That's where I was taken away by the vine," Bama wondered, "Then Lu Zhou and Xiaobai left, but I don't know where they went."

Ye Zhuming walked around the "battlefield", saw a long crawling trace, raised his chin: "This way."

Ba Ma let out a cry, and quickly followed.

Ye Zhuming's legs were unusually long, and Ba Ma followed behind, thinking that he was participating in a walking race.

When Ye Zhuming finally stopped, he was so tired that he was out of breath. He leaned on the tree to watch Ye Zhuming squat down, and looked at the huge historical stone tablet solemnly.

"What is this? Boundary monument? Or the house number that Song Guanlan set up for his family?" Ba Ma said weakly.

Ye Zhuming shook his head, and the phone in his pocket rang.

Seeing him frowning and taking out his mobile phone, Ba Ma guessed in his heart which idiot was rushing to shoot Ye Zhuming when he was upset.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Zhuming turned on the screen, the lines of Sichuan characters between his eyebrows flattened out, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Ba Ma was full of disbelief, and tentatively asked: "Boss, who is it?"

Ye Zhuming's smile became more obvious: "Lu Zhou."

Bama froze for a moment, pursed his lips, and suddenly fell silent.

Ye Zhuming was still half squatting on the ground, with his long legs bent, and he maintained this awkward posture to reply to the message [here at the stele, don't worry, nothing will happen. 】

He cleared his throat and pressed his voice, "What about you? Have you and Xiaobai agreed?"

Lu Zhou originally wanted to chat with him for a while, but Ye Zhuming's question instantly extinguished his desire.

Fearing that there would be some problems if we continued talking, Lu Zhou hurriedly replied [still on the road, take a break now, and we are about to leave soon, be careful, we will talk again when you come back. 】

I also sent a cute four-haired bye-bye expression pack.

Ye Zhuming's eyebrows furrowed all of a sudden.

Why don't we talk anymore?

Is my voice bad?

He carefully turned off his voice, which was always low and magnetic.

There's nothing wrong with it, why don't we talk anymore?

Although Ye Zhuming was not very happy, but thinking that Lu Zhou was going to drive, he was also afraid that he would have an accident, so he could only reply [Okay, drive slowly. 】

He also wanted to post a cute emoticon pack, but when he clicked on the collection, it was full of cursed panda heads.

Ye Zhuming: "..."

Before he could find a suitable one from the mall, Lu Zhou had already replied [OK].

Ye Zhuming had no choice but to give up.

He held the phone in his hand and twirled it twice before he put it in his pocket. When he looked at the stele again, he regained his solemn expression.

Ba Ma, who has witnessed everything: "..."

He had a complicated expression: "Lu Zhou, you're very considerate, haha."

Ye Zhuming glared at him immediately: "What's none of your business? Have you taken a fancy to him?"

Ba Ma waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I'll just, uh, express my feelings."

Ye Zhuming glanced at him vigilantly, and pulled off a glove.

Ba Ma watched as he touched the stele, the stele slowly glowed red, and wisps of mist emerged, and the moss attached to it curled up slowly as if scorched, and fell to the ground piece by piece.

Ba Ma said with difficulty: "I think, Lu Zhou is such a good man, I don't know which girl will be cheaper in the end, haha."

Ye Zhuming paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "It will take advantage of me."

Ba Ma didn't expect Ye Zhuming to be so straightforward, so he was taken aback for a while before saying, "Brother, he is a straight man."

Ye Zhuming didn't care: "It's not like I haven't bent a straight man before."

"The key is him, he is very straight," Ba Ma said anxiously, "Although Lu Zhou looks easy to get along with, he is actually very proud, not to mention his family background is so awesome... If you really mess up, he must, no, I am Just in case, if he can't accept it, he will definitely not let it go. I don't think you need to do this, obviously. "

In fact, what he wanted to say was hunger and thirst, but he changed his rhetoric because he was afraid of being beaten.

Ye Zhuming said lightly: "Is it that obvious? You can see it, but he hasn't seen it yet?"

Ba Ma whispered: "That's why I said, he is very straight..."

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately fell into silence, only the hissing of moss being scorched.

Ye Zhuming lowered his eyes: "I'll try first, it won't work... I'll talk about it later."

"How to try?"

Ye Zhuming's flirtatiousness was seen by the special forces team, and Ba Ma was really afraid that he would be raped by his convulsions.Regardless of Lu Zhou, behind him is Lu Qianye, an invincible younger brother.

Whether it's trying to put people to sleep quickly or to bend them, the Lu family probably won't let it go.

Lu Zhou is different from them, he is an ordinary person with a good family background, the society they live in and the world they see are different, Ye Zhuming and him are different in everything except the same gender.

But Ye Zhuming didn't seem to have thought of this level at all—or he didn't plan to care about it, and said indifferently: "Just try it like this."

Bama had nothing to say: "Okay, you, take your time, don't treat him with the usual attitude of making appointments—"

Ye Zhuming interrupted him with a sneer: "Then what attitude should I use? Use Gu Yangfeng's attitude towards you? Did he take you down? I don't have the patience to wait a few years."

Ba Ma choked suddenly: "Alright, why are you mentioning him..."

Ye Zhuming glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Gu Yangfeng is a gentleman, he treats you well, but just wants to get closer to you, you...you don't have to avoid him like this. In fact, he is not in good health."

Ba Ma didn't expect Ye Zhuming to say that, summed it up and analyzed it carefully, and said cautiously: "Is he... impotent?"

Ye Zhuming said indifferently: "How would I know, why don't you try it yourself?"

Ba Ma instantly turned into a rattle.

There is really no need to continue this topic. Ye Zhuming exerted strength in his hands, and the red light of the stele became more dazzling. It slowly flowed down like a thick liquid, seeping into the ground, and the thin red flow spread like a spider web. , covering the ground under their feet in an instant.

Where the red flow spread, the dark brown soil gradually turned transparent, and one could clearly see a long tunnel with no end in the depths of the ground under the stele.

Ye Zhuming stretched out his other hand and grasped it in the air, and the ancient silver knife fell into his palm out of thin air.

His pitch-black eyes turned golden, and he held the knife in both hands, aiming at the stele and stabbing it hard! ! !

The ground trembled suddenly, the paper cups in front of Lu Zhou were shaken over, and the water dripped all over the ground.

"Damn it! Is there an earthquake!" Bai Suzhen said in horror.

Lu Zhou comforted him: "We are outside, don't be afraid."

The people around also supported the table in a little panic, but it only shook once. Everyone waited for a while, what should they do.

Lin Yue immediately took out her mobile phone: "I don't know where it shook again, I'll check on Weibo, it's probably quite close."

Seeing Lu Zhou's indescribable appearance, she comforted, "It's okay, you don't need to run away from a small earthquake, but you can't run away from a big one. You are an outsider who doesn't understand, and we in S province are used to it."

Lu Zhou swallowed hard, and when he was about to go back, he checked whether the community he lived in was well built.

The people waiting for the meal are bored, and the cooks are too busy to touch the ground.

Although Lu Zhou seldom participated in this kind of rural banquet, his impression seemed to be that every dish was served. Here, the chef put all the dishes on the altar. There are four high steps, almost from top to bottom. It was full of dishes, leaving only one aisle.

There is also an incense table under the altar. The yellow cloth embroidered pattern on the incense table is very wonderful. Looking at it from this angle, it looks like pieces of gleaming fish scales.

The incense table is full of fruit offerings, and three sticks of long-lasting incense sticks are inserted on the incense burner in the middle, with white smoke curling upwards.

It is said that one side is different, Lu Zhou was also very curious about this ancient priest, he stretched his neck to look around, but he didn't see any people dressed as Taoist priests, only Ye Xu.

She was wearing clothes that Lu Zhou couldn't understand, which looked a little like a Chinese wedding dress, but the style was more complicated, and only black and white, and the ornaments were also made of silver. fragile.

Her long hair was disheveled, and her expression was indifferent. Ye Xu nodded lightly when the village chief explained something to her, and didn't say much.

Just as Lu Zhou was about to ask Lin Yue what he was doing, the sound of a horn suddenly sounded in his ears, which was thick and solemn, and the surrounding immediately fell silent.

"God please—" the village head was full of anger, leaning on a walking stick and shouting.

Ye Xu immediately knelt down, put her hands on her knees, lowered her head slightly, and her posture was extremely humble.

Lu Zhou saw four extremely strong men walking over carrying a tall object covered with a red cloth, and placed it solemnly in the center of the altar.

When the red cloth was uncovered, it was a stone statue of a male mermaid, with a naked upper body lean and strong, and a thick fish tail winding down his lower body.He has loose long hair and an oriental appearance. The smile on his face has an evil look that looks down on all living beings, and the limelight overwhelms the handsome and tough facial features.

This statue is so lifelike, Lu Zhou felt uncomfortable looking at it for no reason, and turned his eyes back to Ye Xu, who was still kneeling humbly. The village chief folded the red cloth that had been removed twice, as if covering the head of a bride Like covering Ye Xu's head.

He stretched out his withered hand, helped Ye Xu up, and helped her step onto the altar carefully.

Lu Zhou watched Ye Xu kneel at the tail of the mermaid stone statue, and lay down on the tail of the fish in a docile posture.

The loud trumpet sounded again, and Ye Xu, dressed in white, black skirt and red hijab, quietly nestled on the fish's tail like a lifeless bride, motionless.

Lu Zhou was dumbfounded, and Lin Yue's doubtful voice came from next to his ear: "She is a consecrator...why didn't you tell me?"
