More than a hundred people lined up immediately when they came out. They should be ranked according to their seniority. They knelt on the ground in a very pious posture.

The moderate rain falling from the sky and the dirty mud could not stop them in the slightest.

At this moment, Zhang Chen's parents looked around and probably realized that Zhang Chen was missing.

They scanned around and saw Zhang Chen under a pear tree. They quickly waved to him, signaling him to come over quickly!

Zhang Chen held the crowbar and rushed over. Unexpectedly, he thought he had seen his enemy.

"Mom, Dad, I..." My girlfriend came to the door.

His words were interrupted by Zhang's mother Tian Yueling: "You are not allowed to be disrespectful to the gods. If you have any important matters, wait until after the ceremony is over and go home."

After she finished speaking, her malicious eyes glanced at the girl under the pear tree. If looks could kill, the girl would have been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

If the ceremony wasn't so important, I'm afraid she would attack Yu Qing directly.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to bow three times and then heard the clan leader standing at the front speak.

Zhang Chen's family is directly related, so he was in the third row. The first two rows were the older family members.

"It has been two months since the gods came to our Fengwu Village. This is the fourth time we have held the longevity ceremony. Without the gods, we would not be where we are now!

It can be said that God created us and God saved us! The gods came down from heaven to enable us to succeed!

Here, in order to express gratitude to the gods, each family must offer their most precious items as a mark of respect. "

After the clan leader finished speaking, everyone cheered, and the scene was noisy.

"..."

Yu Qing almost thought that he had joined a pyramid scheme.

Then she saw the male head of each family taking out a ceramic bowl, cutting his palms to bleed... Is this a so-called precious item?

The ceramic bowl filled with half a bowl of blood is carried by the men. The hostess next to it will take the bowl and fill the remaining half of the bowl. If there is not enough blood, a deeper hole will be made until the ceramic bowl is full.

The ceramic bowl filled with blood was taken away by the elders and entered the ancestral hall under the respectful eyes of everyone. When they came out again, the longevity ceremony was over.

Tian Yueling was the first to get up. When no one noticed, she grabbed the girl under the pear tree and walked home. The girl did not resist.

Zhang Chen, who had not yet reacted, was stunned for two seconds and quickly chased after him, not forgetting to grab the crowbar.

Zhang Chen's father, Zhang Guangze, thought he was going to fight, so he ran and shouted after him. He didn't know how Tian Yueling could be so fast.

Zhang Guangze gasped and looked at the half-open door, and hurried in. The fight scene he imagined did not appear, but instead... a warm scene?

Seeing him come in, Tian Yueling waved: "Why are you so slow? Come quickly and meet your son's girlfriend. She came here specially from the city."

In just a few minutes, Yu Qingsha told her his story matter-of-factly.

She and Zhang Chen met in college and have been dating for four years. They are an only child.

The family bought her a car and a house, she was successful in her studies, and she was beautiful. More importantly, she could come to her and prove that her feelings for Zhang Chen were not false.

Tian Yueling almost smiled from ear to ear, she was so satisfied with the daughter-in-law that Zhang Chen found for her that she had completely forgotten even the initial grudge.

Zhang Chen, who was sitting next to the two of them, stared at his mother's hand holding Yu Qing tightly, looking extremely embarrassed. Zhang Guangze sat down with a confused look on his face, poured a glass of water to quench his thirst, and then asked calmly: "Can Zhang Chen find such a beautiful girl?"

Zhang Chen: "..." Is it really okay to say this about your son?

Tian Yueling clicked her tongue and stretched out her hand to slap him. The wound was accidentally stretched until it hurt, so she took it back: "What are you talking about? My son is so outstanding, why is he like rotten cabbage in your mouth?"

Zhang Guangze looked at her bloody hands and then remembered that before the two of them had time to bandage the wounds, he ran into the back room to get gauze and came out to disinfect Tian Yueling first.

After he and Tian Yueling had wrapped their hands, they looked at Yu Qing. The girl was sitting quietly, with a slight smile on her face, looking very well-behaved.

Zhang Guangze said in an uncertain tone: "Are you really my baby's girlfriend?"

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you would fall in love with Zhang Chen. The looks of the two people are too mismatched.

"Uncle, I have been dating Ah Chen for four years." Yu Qing blushed: "We are going to get married next year. He said he would take me home, but suddenly there was no news."

In this case, it makes sense that he would come here. Zhang Guangze nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Our ancestors have a bright future. Zhang Chen, you brat, is quite good!"

Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly, thinking that he was still acting and restrained his laughter: "Mom, Dad, Yang... Yang is coming over this time and will stay at our house for two days, just in time to discuss things between us."

"It's time to discuss it," Tian Yueling looked at Yu Qing and asked, "Son, we should meet with your parents to discuss this matter. It's just that we are used to living in the village and it's not convenient for us to go out. Do you want your parents to come to this business? No?"

Under her nervous gaze, Yu Qing agreed: "Okay, but my parents are out of town for the time being, so it may take some time."

"It doesn't matter. Then you can contact me when the time comes and you can stay at our house for the next few days."

Yu Qingcheng's face was flushed, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you."

Zhang Guangze and Tian Yueling waved their hands in tacit understanding: "It doesn't matter, we happened to have recently..."

At this point, Tian Yueling suddenly paused and seemed to think of something before changing the subject: "Baby, are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

Yu Qing did not refuse: "I'm a little hungry."

Tian Yueling glanced at Zhang Guangze with a suggestive look, and the latter stood up and followed her to the kitchen in tacit agreement, leaving the young man alone.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and Zhang Chen was not used to it.

But he didn't dare to say anything else at this time. He pretended to be a considerate boyfriend and said a few words of concern to Yu Qing, and the girl listened cooperatively.

Yu Qing replied occasionally and looked around with his peripheral vision.

Zhang Chen's yard is simply decorated, with a money tree placed in the south and a small space enclosed by a cement wall in the north. The fence gate is closed, and the faint sound of "bleating" sheep can be heard inside.

Zhang Chen lowered his voice and explained: "They were sent by the patriarch. Every household has them. Our family was allocated four sheep in total. In order to take care of the sheep, no one in the village is farming now."

sheep?

It's not particularly strange for villagers to raise sheep, but it doesn't make sense that they don't even care about the fields for the sake of the sheep.

Judging from the villagers of Fengwu Village, it seems that they have never really seen the god, but they blindly worship and trust him, and even hold immortality ceremonies.

Perhaps you can only know the true identity of the gods by entering the ancestral hall.
