Chapter 195 Sacrifice
A few days later, Lin Zhe called his family.

However, he was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he didn't say much, he just said that there were some things in the village and he stayed to help.

After a few words of advice, Linglong hung up the phone.

Xiao Wu and A Hao were a little worried.

After all, when I think about what happened last night, I still have lingering fears.

"Brother Ah Zhe, tell me, is something going to happen?" Ahao looked worried.

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing, we'll just help deliver something..."

Xiao Wu was relatively courageous. Hearing what Lin Zhe said, he felt a little relieved, and said, "It's rare that we don't have to start work. It's a good thing to rest in the village for one more day... I heard that in some villages in the south, the concept of sacrifice is very strong." Strong, there are ancestor worship activities every year, and they are different."

Lin Zhe nodded, and said, "That's right, it's true, there are some cases of parades and the like, it's not a big deal..."

I didn't want Xiao Wu and A Hao to worry too much, and Lin Zhe didn't say much to add fuel and jealousy.

The three chatted for a while, but it was nothing serious.

After staying in Shimen Village for a whole day, the three of them also took a stroll in the village.

Obviously, there should be very few strangers in the village, so when the villagers saw Lin Zhe and the three of them, they all looked puzzled.

However, the villagers in this village are simple and have no malicious intentions.

After wandering around for a day, Brother Zhang and the others came to entertain the three of Lin Zhe, and took the three of them to eat and drink.

There are not many things in this mountain, but there is no shortage of game. All the game is authentic and tastes very good.

As soon as night fell, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the village.

Not long after, the villagers gathered at the gate of the village chief's house.

Lin Zhe and the others also followed among the crowd, watching the excitement.

"Folks... Tonight is the annual sacrificial event... Everyone follow me to the back mountain... to perform sacrifices..."

"Every household, the elderly and children stay in the village, don't go out... Do you understand?"

The village chief stood on the steps and shouted loudly.

"Understood!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and for a while, it was very lively.

In the whole village, excluding the elderly and children, there are about a hundred young and middle-aged people, and the team is very spectacular.

The three of Lin Zhe got into the truck and followed behind the villagers.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and in the mountain forest, there was a gust of mountain wind, making it a little cool.

Villagers who had torches held torches, and those who had flashlights held flashlights. Under the leadership of the village chief, they went straight to the back of the village.

To be honest, Lin Zhe had never encountered this kind of sacrificial activity before, and felt a little novel for a while.

The mountain is dark and humid, and as soon as night falls, there is a mist.

A group of people were walking in the mountains surrounded by mist. From a distance, the mountain road was covered by mist, and they couldn't see clearly the situation ahead.

If it wasn't for someone from the village to take it with them, it would be difficult for other people to find this place of worship.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a group of people came to a wasteland.

On the wasteland, there are quite a few grave mounds, which look dilapidated.

Surprisingly, these grave mounds seem to be quite old, and some of the tombstones have been dilapidated, but they have not been repaired.

"Come to the cemetery to sacrifice?" Ah Hao's face showed a look of astonishment, and his heart trembled for a moment.

Xiao Wu was fine, but there was also a puzzled look on his face, and he said, "The graves on this cemetery should all be the graves of ancestors in Shimen Village, right?"

Lin Zhe said, "It's possible."

Xiao Wu shook his head and said: "It's strange, since the villagers of Shimen Village have the habit of offering sacrifices every year, why the graves here look crooked, and the tombstones on the graves are likely to have fallen down. But it hasn’t been repaired? Is it possible that... the tomb of the ancestors, the descendants don’t take care of it?”

Lin Zhe also noticed what he said, and frowned for a moment.

"Three brothers, I'm sorry to trouble you, just unload the goods here!"

Brother Zhang walked to the side of the car and said.

"Oh... okay... get out of the car and unload the goods..." Lin Zhe came back to his senses and said.

When Xiao Wu and A Hao got out of the car, they felt the air around them was chilly, and couldn't help shivering.

Logically speaking, even if it is in the wilderness, with so many villagers gathered now, how much...doesn't make people feel gloomy and cold?
"Niu Er, Tie Dan, come here... help us unload the goods together..." Brother Zhang shouted.

Although there are a lot of goods on the truck, so many people help unload the goods, and the speed is very fast.

Lin Zhe stood there without going to work, but looked at the villagers in the village.

All I saw was that the villagers inserted the tree trunks they had prepared to bring one by one on the edge of the wasteland, forming a big circle around the whole wasteland, and then took out five-color ribbons and tied them on the tree trunks.

Some villagers, holding a large ceramic pot, kept reaching out, grabbed handfuls of dust from the pot, and sprinkled it on the entire wasteland.

Even those dilapidated grave mounds were sprinkled with dust.

Lin Zhe walked to the side of the village head and shouted: "Village head."

"Brother Lin... I'm sorry to trouble you tonight!" the village chief said with a chuckle.

"It's okay." Lin Zhe said, and asked again: "Village chief, what are they doing?"

"Oh..." the village chief said, "These are the incense ashes accumulated by every household for a year...put them in jars, and sprinkle them here during sacrifices, so that the dead souls will know that the villagers have been There are incense offerings to them..."

Lin Zhe frowned, and said, "But... why do the graves here look a little dilapidated? Don't the villagers come to build their own ancestral graves on weekdays?"

"This..." The village chief's face changed slightly, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said, "To tell the truth, little brother Lin, there is a custom in our village that once a dead person is buried, the descendants will never die again." Come here to sweep the graves... only come here when offering sacrifices... Therefore, the tombs on the back mountain have been in disrepair for a long time, and they naturally look dilapidated. On this wasteland, there are many dead people, I'm afraid they don't even have tombstones It's..."

After hearing this, Lin Zhe was stunned.

This……

What custom is this?
Lin Zhe had never heard of it.

"Why is this?" Lin Zhe continued to ask, wanting to know the reason for this custom.

Unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on the face of the village head, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't talk, don't talk... It's understandable that you, an outsider, don't know about the things in the village!"

After all, as if he was afraid that Lin Zhe would continue to question him, the village chief hurried forward and instructed the villagers to do things.
