After lunch, Aunt Ge quickly washed the dishes and put away the tables and chairs one by one. She stood in the courtyard and hesitated for a while, seeing that everyone was taking a lunch break, and the surroundings were quiet, and she couldn't find any work for a while. , turned around and walked towards the house, walking faster and faster all the way, almost falling.

Aunt Ge's home is located in the northeast of the whole village, far away from the other houses around.

A silk tree was planted at the gate of the courtyard. Under the tree, a thin and shriveled old lady with white hair was lying on a rocking chair, basking in the sun with half-closed eyes.

"Mother." Aunt Ge hurriedly called out, jumping for joy.

The villagers on the island are influenced by the outside world, and it is popular to call their parents. Aunt Ge usually calls Granny Ge "Mom" like everyone else, but once she relaxes too much, she will go back to her old ways in a hurry.

Granny Ge is getting old, she is often in a trance, talking nonsense, people in the village know that she is dementia, and sometimes see Granny Ge walking back and forth by herself, talking over and over again, saying things that no one can understand , do not care about.At this moment, she was babbling about the past by herself, when she suddenly heard Aunt Ge's shout, she forgot what she was going to do.

Aunt Ge squatted down, approached Granny Ge, deliberately lowered her voice, like a child sharing a secret, and whispered: "Mom, he's back."

The half-asleep and half-awake Granny Ge trembled, opened her cloudy eyes, struggled to look at Aunt Ge, opened and closed her wrinkled dry mouth, and struggled to utter a few hoarse syllables, "He? Really?" ?”

Aunt Ge beamed with joy and said: "Really, really, absolutely can't be wrong."

Granny Ge was a little excited, struggling to stand up from the chair, but was pushed back by Aunt Ge, Granny Ge said something, Aunt Ge comforted: "Okay, he's fine, you just Do not worry."

Bai Tan led a group of students to settle down in ChangQingDao. The first two days were relatively light, and more of it was to guide everyone to adapt to the rhythm of life here and get familiar with the terrain and way of life.The boys behaved fairly when they stumbled and stumbled. Among the girls, there were some delicate ones. Bai Tan intentionally talked to them, reiterated the seriousness of the graduation internship, and successfully comforted the girl who was secretly crying behind her back.

At this time, Teacher Li, who led the team, sighed endlessly, repeatedly saying that it was very wise for him to choose to let Bai Tan join the team to assist him in his work.Not to mention anything else, just the slight embarrassment on Bai Tan's prosperous and beautiful face, the students felt full of guilt and swallowed the complaints that slipped to their lips without complaint or regret. Mr. Li, the old bacon, said that it would still work if there was a cart.

Most of the students' emotional problems were successfully resolved by Bai Tan. The only one who had difficulty in persuading Sun Wenyu was also yelling to slap his ass and leave, but Lu Xiang secretly dealt with them a few times, and finally calmed down honestly. down.

After about four or five days, everyone entered the internship state, accepted it well, and there was no phenomenon of acclimatization, and people in the village also got to know some of them intermittently.

That night, Wang Youfu came to inform everyone, and said: "We have a Flower God Temple here, which enshrines the Flower Goddess, and sacrifices are held on the first and fifteenth day of every month, also called Flower God Sacrifice. It's time, dolls, don't be too busy tomorrow, and come with us to pay homage to the Flower Goddess."

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, respect the etiquette and habits of the local people, everyone understands this rule, not to mention that you can avoid going to the flower fields to do coolies, just as it is to see the world, so they agreed with one voice.

Wang Youfu attached great importance to this matter, so he couldn't help admonishing a few more words: "The dolls have just arrived, and they don't know the rules on our island. The Flower Goddess's psychic powers are great. Since you have agreed, you must take it seriously. Take a bath, change into clean clothes, and go to pay homage to the Flower Goddess.”

As soon as Wang Youfu left, Jiang Nanna said unhappily, "It's so stupid to still engage in these feudal superstitions in what age."

Bai Tan explained: "You can't say that. Hunters who rely on the mountains believe in mountain ghosts, fishermen who rely on water believe in Mazu, and residents on the island rely on planting flowers for a living. Pay more attention to it, but it’s just for psychological comfort.”

Seeing Bai Tan's voice, Ke Daidai immediately agreed and said: "Senior is right, just right, I also want to see what Empress Flower God looks like."

Sun Wenyu has always been interested in Ke Daidai, and unconsciously flattering him, he said, "Does that matter? You are definitely not as good as Daidai." As he spoke, he cast a demonstrative glance at Bai Tan.

Ke Daidai raised her white and slender wrist, straightened a strand of hair beside her ear, pursed her lips and said to Bai Tan: "Does the senior think so too?"

Bai Tan: "..." How did you become a pond fish that got hurt?Confused.

Not far away, Lu Xiang stood inside the washroom, listening to the conversation of several people calmly, seeing Bai Tan's bewildered look, he smiled slightly for some reason.

This senior Bai, who is always familiar with everything, has times of embarrassment and embarrassment?

Forget it, let's help him out of the siege kindly, not everyone can bear the favor of a beauty.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang hugged the basin where the change of clothes was placed, took a step around, and said loudly to Bai Tan: "Didn't you say you want me to rub your back? Come here quickly."

Bai Tan: "..." She looked dumbfounded.

Holding back his sense of shame, he walked over slowly, turned his back to Ke Daidai and the others, and asked in a low voice, "Lu Xiang, what the hell are you doing? When did I say I'm going to ask you to rub my back?"

Lu Xiang didn't take it seriously, he held Bai Tan's shoulders, and the two brothers walked into the bathroom happily, and smiled angrily: "You can go out now, I won't stop you."

Bai Tan glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, and saw Ke Daidai's flushed face, her pitiful and weak posture, and Sun Wenyu, like a hungry dog ​​who was greedy for meat, surrounded Ke Daidai to show courteousness, anyone with discerning eyes could tell what was going on.

Bai Tan is not a fool. As a tie flower, Ke Daidai is usually sought after by many people, but she is quite reserved and polite. Although she always looks gentle and gentle, she seldom pretends to others. Such a delicate little girl Girl, but she showed kindness to Bai Tan time and time again, and everyone knew why.

However, Bai Tan has no affection for Ke Daidai, and always politely refuses Ke Daidai's overt and secret overtures, and avoids them if he can, after all, he always has to worry about the face of the girl's family.If he went out at this time, Ke Daidai would inevitably continue to pester her, and Sun Wenyu would definitely resent Bai Tan for ruining his good deed.

Just thinking about the upcoming Shura Field, Bai Tan felt a headache, Lu Xiang took Bai Tan into it with a half hug and half hug at the right time, and joked: "Go, brother, you are very skilled, I will give you a massage later." .”

The next morning, after Bai Tan and the others woke up and washed, they ate some steamed buns, and led by Wang Youfu, they came to the Huashen Temple in the northeast of the village.

It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is only the size of two rooms. It is rectangular and stretches across the flat ground, with its back against a steep slope, surrounded by layers of flowers and trees, and the blue sea can be seen a little far away.

The Temple of Flowers is already very dilapidated. The plaques and couplets have traces of insects. In addition to the humidity here, the decay rate is faster than other places. The only thing worthy of praise is that the cleaning is very thorough. In front of the stone statue, fresh fruits and two vases of flower arrangements were carefully offered.

All the men and women in the village gathered here, dressed in the most decent clothes, and gathered together in twos and threes based on the family as a unit. Under Wang Youfu's prompting, they all knelt down to worship the goddess of flowers, closed their eyes and offered sincere prayers, and then A person with high morals and high prestige presents a stick of fragrance on behalf of all the villagers, and the sacrificial ceremony is completed.

Jiang Nanna muttered: "What are you doing, there's not even a singing and dancing performance, and this is considered a major festival, so there's nothing special about it."

The villagers were all bowing down solemnly. The area around the Temple of Flowers was quiet and there was no sound at all. Even though Jiang Nanna concealed her words intentionally, they were heard clearly by the people closest to her. Jiang Nanna glared at her with displeasure, hating her for blasphemy.

A bunch of cold, vicious eyes stared at Jiang Nanna, like a greasy poisonous snake, confiding a deadly scarlet snake letter to her.

Jiang Nanna was taken aback. She didn't notice until this moment that under the osmanthus tree in front of the steps of the Temple of Flowers, there was a stooped, short and skinny old lady. It seems convenient, and it is probably for this reason that they did not participate in the ceremony with everyone.

But the old lady looked at Jiang Nanna's small eyes, but she showed full malice.

Jiang Nanna said uncomfortably: "What's the matter with that old lady? Why is she staring at me? The eyes are still so scary, maybe she's crazy?"

Bai Tan looked at Jiang Nanna unbearably, "If you are so disrespectful, you will be beaten by the villagers later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Why even Senior Bai favors these ignorant villagers?Jiang Nanna was a little aggrieved and wanted to defend herself, but Wen Xiaoxiao yelled at her impatiently, "Shut up."

After finishing the sacrificial ceremony, the villagers went back to work in the flower fields, but when they left Bai Tan and the others, most of them would glance at Jiang Nanna angrily, and some couldn't help but spit.

Jiang Nanna was so angry that she jumped her feet and said loudly, "Rude! Barbarian! Uneducated, it's terrible!"

However, Wang Youfu, the village head who was always honest and kind, who was smiling all day long, also completely restrained his smile, and said very seriously: "Little girl, I have already explained in advance yesterday that when we arrive at the Temple of Flowers, we must put the important points. Why are you still uttering bad words?"

"I..." Jiang Nanna looked at Ke Daidai as if asking for help, and said with little confidence: "I just said it casually, I didn't mean it..."

Wang Youfu sighed and said: "We people rely on the sky for our food, and we point to these flower seedlings all year round. If we offend anyone, we can't offend the Flower Goddess. If the Flower Goddess hears about it, blame it, and we will have fewer flowers in the next year. But what should I do?" Cutting off one's fortune is like killing one's parents, so it's no wonder that the villagers are not very friendly to Jiang Nanna.

Jiang Nanna waited for a long while, but no one defended her, and Ke Daidai, who claimed to be a good sister and best friend, also looked like she had nothing to do with her, she suddenly got angry, and without thinking about it, she blurted out: "Is it that serious? What flower goddess, isn’t it just a broken stone statue? It’s still manifesting, I think you’re crazy about money, right? As for making such a fuss?”

Before saying a word, the old lady in black clothes and black trousers walked over tremblingly with a cane in one hand, stared into Jiang Nanna's eyes and said sharply: "The goddess of flowers is real! You are not allowed to slander Flower God! Otherwise, get the hell out of our Changqing Island!"
