Chapter 1628 Grand Ceremony 1

"In addition, after the bird fight is over, the winners will pool together ten yuan to give to the bird owner as hard work for the thrush. The losing bird owner can also collect two yuan."

"Okay, I understand the rules!" Xiao Fei said.

"I bet ten yuan too!" said the fat man.

"I want to take ten yuan to press the other one." Da Mater said.

"Hey, don't you two have no money?" Xiao Fei asked strangely.

"Well, I still have the last ten yuan left." The fat man said.

"How can I not participate in such a fun event? Even if I only have the last ten yuan left, I will spend it all." Da Banya said.

"It seems that you said that you have no money, I can't believe it." Xiao Fei said.

"We really only have this last bit of money," said the fat man.

After the thrush master fed the two thrushes with a few grains, a new round of fighting birds started again.

"Peck it!"

"Bite its eyes!"

"The one on the right, come on!"

So, among the ancient Hakka voices, there were a few more authentic Chinese cheers. Everyone shouted very vigorously. At this moment, they completely forgot the national differences between each other.

After a round of fierce fighting, Fatty and Xiao Fei lost, while Big Mater won. Both birds were already injured, and the one that lost was still covered in bruises, and could no longer participate in the battle. In the end, Da Banya took out another two yuan, and together with other winners, made up ten yuan, and gave it to the owner of the winning thrush.

"Do you want to fight again? I'll continue to bet." Xiao Fei asked.

"No more fights. If we fight again now, the winner or loser is already obvious, and the loser has no fighting power." Old man Jin said, "If you want to bet again, you have to wait for the other one to decide the winner. The two victorious birdies will continue to be played, but the stakes will be a little higher, starting with one yuan just now, and five yuan later.”

"Then we'll wait for the next one." Xiao Fei said.

"The final winner is the Bird King!" Old Man Jin said.

"Bird King!" Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, "This title sounds very prestigious."

"Those Han people are really useless dudes!" Seeing Xiao Fei and the others having fun with the old man, the tough youths in the village shook their heads in regret.

...

Time passed quickly, the sky was already dark, and the fighting bird meeting was finally over. The Yaozhai crowd started to light the torches and light the bonfire. Although it was already night, the bonfire illuminated the whole village as if it were daytime.

It seems that the grand celebration ceremony in the evening will be regarded as the official start. First, the villagers of Zhaojiazhai brought food to everyone. After everyone had eaten and drank enough, under the leadership of the four chiefs, all the villagers rushed to the temple in the center of the village to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the old loving mother.

"Hey, why didn't you see Third Sister?" After wandering around the crowd for a while, Xiao Fei asked strangely.

"You were too involved in the game just now, so of course you didn't see it." Da Banya said, "But I saw it. She ran to the mountains with those sisters to sing to each other."

"She's not yet at the age to find a partner, so she should just follow her to have fun and learn experience. Seeing that she doesn't wear a hat, those young people probably won't have any plans for her," said the fat man.

So, the three of them followed the crowd to watch the sacrificial ceremony.

The sacrificial ceremony was very grand. Although there were many people in the four villages, during the sacrificial ceremony, everyone's expressions were solemn and solemn. Even the children dared not speak to disturb the sacrificial ceremony.

First, they carried out the biggest prey they caught this year, the heads of wild boars, deer, and goats, and offered them to the old loving mother. Then the masters of the four villages led a group of barefoot youths to dance a mysterious dance. He also led the villagers to pay homage to the statue of the old loving mother, praying for good weather in the coming year.

The whole ceremony lasted for nearly an hour. After the end, several strong men carried out several large stoves, spread the charcoal fire inside on the ground, and the charcoal fire burned blazingly, forming a sea of ​​fire. Then dozens of sharp knives were inserted upside down in an open space, forming a mountain of knives.

A teacher with his upper body bare, his body and face covered with oil paint, is going to perform for everyone the performance of going up the mountain of swords and going down into the sea of ​​fire. If the performing master comes out of the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire without injury, it proves that the old loving mother has blessed him with divine power. At the same time, they also accepted their prayers to bless everyone with a good harvest in the coming year.

At the same time, the master who succeeded in going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire will also become the leader of the masters. Shigong is a person in the village who is mainly responsible for sacrifices and divination. Sometimes his power is greater than that of the headman.

It didn't take long for the performers to emerge from the sea of ​​swords and flames. Then he showed his feet to everyone, intact, and there was a burst of earth-shattering cheers from the crowd.

"He was not injured!" the fat man said in surprise when he saw him.

"This is a real uphill battle, completely different from the fake show on TV!"

"Boss, why don't you open your heavenly eyes and see if he has been blessed with divine power?" Fatty said.

"This is other people's beliefs, other people's customs, why do we have to know the truth?" Xiao Fei said. Refusing to observe with the eyes of heaven.

Perhaps, he really got a trace of divine power from the old loving mother. Maybe it's because of his thick feet, coupled with the result of regular practice. No matter what the real reason is, there is no need for outsiders to find out.

At this moment, a girl hurried in from the outside. His chest was heaving, he was out of breath, and his face was flushed as if he had been frightened. Xiao Fei saw that it was Jin Sanmei. She ran to her father, the Yao doctor in Jinjiazhai, and burst into tears with a whoosh.

"Third sister, what happened?" Doctor Yao asked.

"When we were singing duets in the mountains just now, Zhao Gang from Zhaojiazhai insisted on dating me. He didn't care about me even though I didn't have a hat. Later, he even touched me and insisted on dragging me to the grove." Jin Third Sister said.

"It's not bad, even my daughter dares to bully!" Doctor Yao suddenly became furious, "Where is that bastard, take me to find him right away!"

Yao people are all hot-tempered and can't bear the slightest grievance. When they hear that their daughter is being bullied, they will attack immediately.

"He has already followed back." Jin Sanmei said.

Doctor Yao turned his head and saw a young man walking into the crowd of Zhaojiazhai. "Let's go, let's go!" Yao doctor pulled her daughter and walked over angrily.

He said to Zhao Touren: "Zhao Touren, your son bullied my daughter just now, tell me, what should I do about this!"

"Second Brother Jin, this is all a kid's joke. Why do you have to get so angry about things between children?" Zhao Touren said.
