snail girl

Chapter 45

The tael of silver handed over to the village chief, until Sun Hu became a married couple, until the fishing ban was contacted, and the people of Anning Village happily fished on the Bishui River, no one came to claim it.

On the day of Sun Hu's wedding, Zhen Luo was greatly disappointed.

"Why isn't there a sedan chair?" Zhen Luo couldn't help but groan when she saw that the bride had been picked up and she hadn't found the sedan chair yet.

"Beautiful sedan chair? It's enough to have a donkey, and we poor people can't afford that kind of ostentation." A woman beside Zhen Luo said in a strange way, she really came from a wealthy family, and she didn't understand the sufferings of the world at all.

"That doesn't even have a trumpet to greet the bride." Zhen Luo said.

In the scripts she read, there was a big red sedan chair for marriage, a trumpet to clear the way, the bride wore a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and covered the red hijab embroidered or embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water or dragons and phoenixes, and they were not closed at all.

"The bride is so blessed to be able to wear a wedding dress made of red cloth sent by her husband's family."

Zhen Luo took a look, such a red top, is it called a wedding dress?

"I heard that there is pork on the table. The husband's family really gives the bride a face. If my daughter can marry into this good family in the future, I will be thankful." Another voice said.

Zhen Luo curled her lips, what's so good about pork.

What Zhen Luo doesn't know is that most of the villagers in Qinghe County also fish part-time in addition to farming. The price of fish is relatively cheap. You can buy a big fish for ten yuan, which seems to be 25 yuan a catty. The pork is very expensive.These fishermen usually want to eat some meat, most of which are dried salted fish and small fish, and they are only willing to cut two catties of meat during the holidays.

Don't mention the pork, after worshiping, Zhen Luo went to the new house to see the bride. The highlight of the bride's whole body was a beautiful fiery red pomegranate flower on her head, and the rouge on her cheeks was even redder than her buttocks. .

After that, Zhen Luo became a little absent-minded.

She was extremely disappointed, there were still people who would envy such a shabby marriage.

I imagined that her marriage with Shen An would be such a shabby scene.All of a sudden, after arriving at Shen's house, Xiao Tianluo, who doesn't dislike anything, feels that life is a bit gloomy.

She got married for the first time in more than 600 years of her life, is she going to be the same as these peasant women?The husband's family bought a few feet of red cloth, and the banquet dishes included wine and meat, which made people feel envious.

There is no trace of the bustle of "flying parrots with cups of jade liquid, dancing phoenixes with music playing Yaochi", only the sound of people around waving chopsticks to grab food.

"A Luo, are you tired?" Shen An asked, Zhen Luo was listless after returning from Sun Hu's wedding banquet.

"Zhen Luo shook her head. In order to save money, Shen An's hair turned gray for the wedding. She can no longer burden An An.

Zhen Luo got into Shen An's arms and hugged her waist tightly, "Go to sleep, don't you want to repair fishing nets together tomorrow?"

"Okay." Shen An hugged Zhen Luo back, and kissed Zhen Luo's hairline.

The little daughter-in-law was upset, but she didn't tell her, Shen An's eyes darkened.

Shen An and Zhen Luo have spent the past two days repairing fishing nets at home and sorting out the guys they need to bring for fishing.

Every year on the day when the fishing ban is lifted, the villages along the Bishui River have to prepare rich offerings and hold grand activities to worship the river god, thanking the river god for giving them food and the opportunity to live.After the sacrifice, everyone will go down the river to catch fish.

Shen Xia took a few people from door to door to make sacrifices.

"Are the offerings ready?" Shen Xia asked Shen An.

"It's been prepared a long time ago, and I'm waiting for you to come and get it. Come in and have a drink first, and I'll give you something." Shen An greeted a few people.

"No, we're still rushing to the next one, you just take out the things." Shen Xia said.

"Then wait a moment."

The sacrifices in Anning Village have always been presided over by the village head, and the offerings have to be distributed to each villager.Among the villagers, those who know how to make cakes make cakes, those who can steam cakes, and those who don’t know anything or are inconvenient to prepare these, will pick a lot of vegetables and fruits to offer to the River God.In addition, every family has to spend [-] Wen to raise funds to buy incense, roast suckling pig, roast chicken and other items.

Because this is a major matter involving livelihood, the more villagers sacrifice, the more the better, and avoidance or shortfalls rarely happen among these simple people.

Our ancestors have watched and helped each other in Anning Village for generations.If he caused great misfortune to the whole village because of his disrespect for the river god, he would be the village's sinner.

After receiving people's incense, the River God of Clear Water would only use the items on the table, and the food that had been bet in the water was distributed to the little demons at the bottom of the river.During the hundreds of years in the river, Zhen Luo ate grapes three times, strawberries once, and apples once, and she no longer competed with those little monsters whose skills were lower than hers.

A few days ago, it was rare to think of these fruits, so she clamored for Shen An to plant them all.

One of the great advantages of being in the mortal world is that you don't have to live a miserable life like before, and you can enjoy many good things that you can't eat on weekdays, but the disadvantage for Zhen Luo is that there are many things that you can only watch but not eat.

The sweet and sour pork ribs, which smelled particularly delicious, must be delicious, but she could only drool aside.

This time, Shen An beat five catties of rice cakes and went to the mountain to find ten catties of wild fruits as offerings. After checking and accepting, Shen Xia saw that the quantity was almost enough, so she rushed to the next one.

"An'an, who came just now." Zhen Luo's subordinates checked their desires and asked Shen An, smiling like a flower, raising their heads.

"It's Shen Xia and the others who came to get the offerings."

"The ones sacrificed to the river god?"

"Yes, we have received the favor of the river god, and we must always express our gratitude to him."

"This is necessary. There will be severe punishment for disrespecting the God of the River." Zhen Luo nodded and said, but she was thinking about the news she heard when she returned to Bishuihe two days ago. After being taken care of by the eldest prince, second prince, and third princess, they went to retreat.This year's incense river gods probably won't come out to enjoy it again. I don't know which highness will come to Anning Village.

The management in Bishui River is still relatively loose. If the little monster does not seek a position in Hezhong, Hezhong will generally not force it. It took ten years to wait for a maid's rotation, and within a few years, she was replaced by a female elf who looked better than her.Therefore, Heli is not very strict about going out and leaving the clear water for experience.

Zhen Luo only hoped that the Highness who came would not find her, and would not take her away because she was not pleasing to the eye.He Nei always turned a blind eye to the banshee Sifan marrying and having children in the mortal world, and it might not be possible for her marriage to be ruined by a whim of the superior.

No matter how worried Zhen Luo was, the day of the sacrifice still came, and the whole village, including Shen's mother who didn't go out very much, gathered by the Bishui River.

Zhen Luo also received an extra task. After the village chief led the villagers of the whole village to sacrifice, she had to sprinkle offerings into the river with the young girls in the village.This was when Shen Xia came to ask, and Shen An answered for Zhen Luo.

Now Zhen Luo had to go if she didn't want to.

Shen An had contradictory thoughts in his heart, he wanted to hide Zhen Luo, but also wanted her to integrate into the life of Anning Village as soon as possible.

So given this opportunity, Shen An took it for Zhen Luo.

That morning, after breakfast, a huge crowd of men, women and children gathered by the river, the altar table was set up early, burning incense sticks that were one meter high and as thick as a baby's fist, the cigarettes curled up and flew to The high sky is slowly dissipating.

The village chief and several respected clan elders prayed to the God of Heaven, Earth and River on the high platform, reciting ancient sacrificial rites. Study carefully.

Zhen Luo found that there was a wonderful rhythm in the awkward sacrificial oration, and she was very absorbed in listening to it. When the third princess came to enjoy the sacrifice, she gave her a cold look, and Zhen Luo came back to her senses.

The third princess was dressed in festive costumes, standing in the air above the incense burner, her eyes were stern, her expression was solemn, and she looked sacred and inviolable. Zhen Luo took a look and hid directly behind a female companion who was traveling with her.

Zhen Luo hoped that the third princess would leave Anning Village as soon as she ran out, otherwise she would not be able to catch up with other villages.

The other villages are as devout as them, so why don't you go there, princess.

The three princesses left before the village head and the others finished all the ceremonies in an orderly manner.The proud Princess of the River God ignored Zhen Luo, a little snail that had infiltrated the world.Of course Zhen Luo was very happy. The third princess didn't talk to her, which meant that it was reasonable for her not to be arrested.

Zhen Luo and more than a dozen girls in the village carried the offerings high in a dustpan to the river, and sprinkled them into the river.Seeing the fast-flowing water taking away the offerings, everyone felt as happy as today's water flow, and looked forward to this year's harvest even more.

"Sister Zhen Luo, sister Zhen Luo, is that you?" A green carp swam in front of Zhen Luo, excitedly.

"It turned out to be Lu Fei. You come to eat the offerings too. The food I brought is very delicious. You should eat more later." Zhen Luo sent a voice transmission to Lu Fei with a smile.

"It's really you, sister. I just saw you from a distance, and I still can't believe it. I haven't seen you for three months. Sister Hongli said that my sister has married in the world. How is it, brother-in-law treats sister well, if she bullies you, I will beat him for you after I transform into form." The little green carp chattered authentically.

"Thank you, Lu Fei. An'an is very kind to me. Go and eat quickly, or they will snatch it up in a while." Zhen Luo said, "Go back quickly after eating. If you are caught, they will I will sell you to the fish shop, and you will never go back to Bishuihe."

"I can save it, then I'm leaving." Lu Fei said.

Green Fei is a talented little demon who has been enlightened by the carp clan in recent years, but the practice time is still short, and it is not yet ready for transformation. The red carp pearl Zhenluo and the others take good care of her on weekdays, and she also follows her. The three of them have a deep relationship.

When the offerings were finished and the sun had risen to mid-heaven, the fishermen pushed their boats into the river and went out to fish.

Shen An does not have his own fishing boat, but shares one with Sun Hu.
