What should I do if I pledge my life to save a fox?

After the Lantern Festival comes the Little New Year.

Tushan's family spends the New Year under the spiritual tree from morning to night.

You have to wake up early in the morning to worship ancestors according to seniority under the spiritual tree. After the ancestor worship is over, you have to listen to the year-end summary speech of the clan leader, and then start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, which does not start until the moment the sun sets.

Because he was looking forward to this day, Yu Muhuai woke up early and pushed Bai Huaijing beside him: "Brother Jing, wake up!"

Bai Huaijing looked out the window and saw the stars. She turned over and patted Yu Muhuai on the back: "Good boy, it's still early. Let's sleep a little longer."

Yu Muhuai couldn't sleep anymore, so he lay in Bai Huaijing's arms, sometimes touching his ears, sometimes touching his eyelashes, sometimes kissing Bai Huaijing's lips...

"My dear, don't you want to sleep anymore?" Bai Huajing was completely sleepless due to his troubles.

Yu Muhuai nodded: "Shall we get up?"

"Don't worry." Bai Huaijing kissed the hand that made trouble on him just now, "Let's put out the fire you stirred up."

After saying that, he leaned forward and kissed her.

……

Bai Huaijing had just finished washing Yu Muhuai when the sound of the patriarch and his wife getting up was heard.

"I have no strength in my wrists to worship my ancestors today!" Yu Muhuai patted Bai Huaijing gently.

Bai Huaijing smiled and hugged him: "It's okay. My husband will help you get up and get dressed. You don't have to worry about worshiping your ancestors for a while."

Yu Muhuai stretched out his hand and asked him to help him get dressed.

Because they had to worship their ancestors, both Bai Huaijing, the young patriarch, and Yu Muhuai, the young patriarch's wife, had to wear auspicious clothes, which were a bit cumbersome.

Yu Muhuai originally closed his eyes and enjoyed Bai Huaijing's service, but after a long time, before he had even put on his clothes, he opened his eyes and took a look: "What kind of clothes are these?"

"Jifu, I have the last outer shirt left." Bai Huaijing said.

"There are so many layers, but it's not bloated." Yu Muhuai stood up and turned twice in front of the full-length mirror.

"There are also some accessories." Bai Huaijing brought a small box.

"Do you have to hang all this on your body?" Yu Muhuai's eyes widened, looking so heavy.

"Yes." Bai Huaijing nodded, "The most important thing is this Yingluo, the others are not so heavy."

Bai Huaijing hung a half-length necklace around Yu Muhuai's neck, straightened it in front of her body, and then fastened some small accessories on her shoulders, cuffs, back, and skirt.

After putting it on, Yu Muhuai made a sound every step of his body, and the sound of the accessories shaking was clear and pleasant.

"Where's yours?" Yu Muhuai looked at Bai Huaijing, who was still wearing pajamas.

Bai Huaijing pointed to the tray in front of the closet: "There."

Yu Muhuai sat on the chair: "Put it on quickly and let me see!"

Bai Huaijing took off her pajamas and put on her auspicious clothes one by one.

The accessories of the young patriarch are no less than those of his wife. The young patriarch even has a huge hair crown.

When Bai Huaijing put on the hair crown, Yu Muhuai felt his neck sink.

"It looks so heavy."

"Fortunately, I almost didn't hold it up when I first wore it. After wearing it a lot, I got used to it." Bai Huaijing said.

After getting dressed, Yu Muhuai and Bai Huaijing went under the spiritual tree together.

Kui Shan and Xiao Youqing do not need to participate in ancestor worship, and they are not awake yet.

The first step in the ancestor worship ceremony is to invite the fox fairy. A ten-tailed fox fairy sculpture of tens of meters is placed under the spiritual tree. When the sun rises, the ritual of worshiping three times is performed.

Later, as the sun rises, the sunlight will shine through the ten-tailed gaps of the fox fairy sculpture on the descendants who kneel before it.

This is called the fox fairy's blessing by the fox clan.

Until the sun rises completely, the fox fairy sculpture should be put down, followed by some sacrificial dances, and the fox tribe members spread out on both sides, leaving a space in the middle.

Bai Huaijing held Yu Muhuai's hand and stood behind the patriarch and his wife: "Are you tired?"

Yu Muhuai shook his head: "I'm not tired."

He looked curiously at the dance in front of him. It didn't look graceful, but the rhythm was just right, giving the whole dance a beauty that was both harmonious and disharmonious.

After the sacrificial dance, it was the patriarch's speech and the young patriarch's speech.

I have to say that this link is very necessary, but it is also really boring.

At this time, he could sit down. Yu Muhuai woke up early today. The excitement had passed, and now he was very sleepy, but it happened that the person above was still saying that he couldn't sleep.

It was finally over, and Yu Muhuai leaned into Bai Huaijing's arms: "Honey, I'm sleepy."

The next step is to prepare the banquet, and there is no need for Yu Muhuai to be there all the time.

Bai Huaijing greeted the clan leader and returned home with Yu Muhuai in his arms.

It was only ten o'clock at this time, and Kui Shan and Xiao Youqing were just about to go to the spirit tree. Then he met Bai Huaijing who was coming back with Yu Muhuai in his arms.

"What's wrong with Baby Huai?" Kui Shan asked worriedly.

Bai Huaijing said softly: "Asleep."

Bai Huaijing put Yu Muhuai on the bed, tucked him in, closed the door and came out.

"I have to keep an eye on the table. Please take care of Huai Bao. He woke up early today and is exhausted from the etiquette process all morning." Bai Huaijing asked Kui Shan and Xiao Youqing.

Kui Shan nodded: "No problem, we will wait until Baby Huai wakes up before going."

Bai Huaijing nodded and left.

Yu Muhuai slept until three in the afternoon and woke up hungry.

He stretched, full from sleep, but hungry.

Kuishan and Xiao Youqing were in the yard when they heard Yu Muhuai getting up. They pushed the door open and came in: "Are you awake?"

Kui Shan sat beside Yu Muhuai's bed: "Do you know how long you slept?"

"How long?" Yu Muhuai asked, "Isn't the New Year's Eve dinner already started?"

"No, but it's coming soon. If you don't wake up, we should come and call you." Kui Shan said, "Eat something first, and then let's go to the spiritual tree together."

Xiao Youqing brought a bowl of warm porridge.

At this moment, Bai Huaijing came back and took over the job of feeding Yu Muhuai porridge.

It wasn't that Yu Muhuai didn't want to eat by himself, but when he woke up, he felt limp all over and wanted to lean into Bai Huaijing's arms without moving.

After finishing the porridge, Bai Huaijing dressed Yu Muhuai and went out to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner with Kuishan Xiao Youqing under the spiritual tree.

On the way, I also met Bai Huaicong who had just returned.

Bai Huaicong has not been back to celebrate the Spring Festival for many years, but this year is a rare occasion.

Uncle Bai was very happy. He said that Bai Huaicong had found the person to talk to, but he didn't bring him back. This time he came back to inform the couple in advance.

When Yu Muhuai heard that Bai Huaicong had a partner, his eyes widened and he looked at Bai Huaicong.

Bai Huaicong nodded, acquiescing.

Yu Muhuai took Kui Shan's hand and mouthed: "Aunt Red Pepper."

Kui Shan's eyes widened: "Really or not?"

Yu Muhuai nodded: "Really!"

Kui Shan took a breath: "This generation..."

Until sitting on the table, Kui Shan was still in a state of surprise. This was too...

After finally digesting the news, he looked up and found that there were already piles of dishes in front of him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Bai Huaijing preparing dishes for Yu Muhuai...
