The child's ancestor was exposed by Mimi's live stream at the beginning.

"Great-Grandpa, why don't you rest for a while before proceeding with the cattle-slaughtering ceremony?"

Lu Jiangming carefully examined the big yellow cowboy, feeling quite satisfied, before turning back to Lu Liang's side and respectfully asking for instructions.

"No need, let's go straight to the square."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Liang pulled Yang Mimi off the tricycle.

Yang Mimi was still confused, wondering: Why can't I continue to hold my great-uncle?

She couldn't understand it at all, and was about to ask when she found that the atmosphere around her had suddenly changed.

Lu Liang stood tall and proud on the tricycle.

My great-uncle dusted himself off and slowly pushed the tricycle, while the dark-skinned man behind him led the ox, shouting loudly:

"Our ancestor is back!"

"Everyone, gather at the central square immediately!"

In an instant, the once quiet village became lively, as if it had suddenly ushered in a grand festival.

The villagers were all beaming with joy, but no one went ahead; they all followed the tricycle in an orderly fashion.

The crowd included men, women, young and old; it was like attending a grand banquet.

Wow! That's some serious influence!

I started to get nervous too, like the boss was about to call a meeting.

Brothers, what exactly is a "cow slaughtering ceremony"? I've never heard of it before.

I'm just a native of this village, I don't know either.

[Honey, you have to take more detailed photos; I need to broaden my horizons.]

……

To give her fans a novel experience, Yang Mimi followed beside the tricycle.

Before long, they arrived at the square in the center of the village.

The square was already packed with people, bustling with activity.

A mahogany armchair is placed in the middle of the square.

Lu Jiangming carefully picked up Lu Liang and gently placed him on the armchair, then shouted at the top of his lungs:

"kneel!"

Instantly, the entire square was filled with people kneeling, a scene reminiscent of an emperor holding court, where everyone performed the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

This time, everyone unanimously referred to Lu Liang as their ancestor.

Lu Liang seemed used to such scenes. After everyone finished their greetings, he casually waved his hand.

"They're all such good kids, so lovable!"

"Get up, everyone, get up. The ground is cold, don't get cold."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and began preparing to slaughter the ox.

Then someone carried out the frame for hanging the ox, and several burly men went up to try to control the ox.

Then, Lu Jiangming and another old man carried the grand chair to the ox.

Lu Liang reached out and grabbed the cow's ears.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The surrounding area was suddenly filled with deafening shouts of battle, which shocked the netizens.

[Oh my god, you shouted so loudly that I spilled all my instant noodles on the keyboard.]

What kind of bizarre etiquette is this? What's the meaning of letting a child grab a cow's ears?

[I don't quite understand it, but it seems really impressive.]

[It's terrifying to be uncultured! You don't even know this?]

Haven't you heard of someone who holds the reins of power in the world?

【Wowhhhhhh...】

[To hold the reins of power?]

Good grief, this etiquette basically means: I'm the best here!

【Lu Liang, you're so cool!】

……

The netizens who finally understood were speechless with astonishment.

It's surprising that such a small village still uses this ancient ritual originating from the Spring and Autumn Period.

This not only exudes a sense of grandeur but is also rich in cultural heritage, which is truly amazing.

In ordinary times, city dwellers tend to have a condescending and disdainful attitude towards rural areas.

But now, netizens in the city just find it novel.

Upon checking the information, I was even more shocked.

The custom of holding the ox's ear originated from the Zuo Zhuan (Commentary of Zuo) in the seventeenth year of Duke Ai. When the feudal lords met, they swore an oath of blood, and the person holding the ox's ear was the hegemon.

Does this mean they want to become the dominant power?

Many netizens were speechless, lamenting their lack of cultural knowledge and only able to express their shock by spamming "Holy crap" across the screen.

After this ceremony, the slaughter of the cow officially began, and netizens became even more excited.

Although everyone has heard of slaughtering cattle, very few have actually witnessed it.

"Uncle, this ox is really fat! It must weigh over a thousand catties, right?"

Yang Mimi was so excited that she danced with joy. Not only could she witness the slaughtering of a cow, but she would also be able to eat beef in a little while. This was incredibly exciting, and it would also take her live-streaming career to the next level.

She just discovered that her followers have increased by more than 30,000 in such a short period of time.

Seeing how agitated she was, Lu Jiangming looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"You're such a silly girl! Haven't you ever even seen a cow slaughtered for ancestral worship?"

"This is a tradition that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. It is to tell our ancestors that we are living a good life now."

It's important to know that cattle are extremely important to agrarian societies.

Being able to slaughter a cow and eat meat means you're living a good life, doesn't it?

The methods of slaughtering cattle vary from place to place. In Luqian Village, cattle are slaughtered with a knife.

When the gleaming knife was brought close, Niu immediately understood what was happening and was terrified.

I was just having a great time participating in the celebration, but now I realize that the price of this celebration is my own life!

Once the bull understood this, it went berserk.

Lu Jiangming quickly moved the armchair where Lu Liang was sitting back, and the others also shouted in panic.

"Oh my god! Which idiot tied up this cow? Why did they use a bow?"

"Stop staring! Come and help!"

"What if this hurts our ancestors?"

A large group of people rushed forward, trying to hold the cow down.

But this ox weighed over a thousand pounds and was incredibly strong; so many people couldn't hold it down at all.

Yang Mimi trembled with fear. "Uncle, you can't do this. You need to find some professional cattle butchers."

She looked unprofessional, and netizens laughed so hard they almost fell over.

The scene of him holding the reins of power just now was so awe-inspiring, as if the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period had reappeared. But in the blink of an eye, this farce has unfolded. The sense of disparity is just too strong.

[Haha... There are such elaborate rituals for slaughtering a cow, how interesting!]

Wow, you guys really know how to brag, claiming to be in charge of everything?

[This is hilarious! Normally, people use a hammer to butcher a cow and blindfold it, but you guys just use a knife and don't even blindfold it.]

[Cow: Is this how you treat me?]

[Cow: I'm not blind, of course I can see the knife!]

[Cow: You really want to eat my flesh that badly?]

[Cow: How embarrassing!]

……

Netizens mocked and ridiculed each other, and the screen was filled with a dense barrage of comments.
