"Hurry up, hurry up, it's gloomy today, we have to rush to Longying Village before it rains."

In front of him was a man holding a big black umbrella.

Wearing an old man's shirt, he is dark and slightly fat. He is about 50 to [-] years old. He has a large mole on his left cheek. His eyes are the kind commonly known as mouse eyes, and he is very shrewd at first glance.

The man looked up at the sky, "Let's go, you can't go if it rains, and you have to go back to the river god sacrifice."

Lin Si came late, and he could tell at a glance that there were two newcomers who were holding back their panic.

He looked at the surrounding situation, including himself, there were 12 people in this round.

As soon as Lin Si walked up, he found that his shoulders were so painful that he was carrying a box on his back.It is not heavy, it is as high as the calf, and the two shoulder straps are woven with rattan.

Lin Si looked around and found that it wasn't just him.Except for the man with the black umbrella, some carried wooden boxes, and some carried small cloth bags.

They followed the man onto the small bridge. At the other end of the bridge was a village hidden in the mountains. Although the water under the bridge was crystal clear, no fish or shrimp could be seen.

The bridge is made of a few wooden boards, which are very crude, creaking and wobbly when walking on it.

"Don't push me!" A very delicate girl staggered a few steps, accusing the somewhat wretched man behind her with red eyes.

"Huh? Who pushed you? Who saw it? Are you good-looking? Is it worth my pushing you?" The man was not easy to mess with, and deliberately pushed the delicate girl on the shoulder a few times, as if he was a bit of a pedophile. .

"You! You! Hooligan!" The girl's feet were unsteady, and the hairpin slipped quietly.

"Plop—" The silver hairpin fell into the creek.

The girl fell backwards towards the water.

"what!"

Lin Si reacted very quickly and dumped the contents of the box onto the bridge.Swinging the shoulder straps behind the handsome girl, her body leaned on the bridge with this force.

The calm river suddenly became choppy, smashing the wooden box severely, and pulling the broken pieces of wood to sink to the bottom of the water.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The man with the black umbrella turned back again, urging everyone with an irritable face.

"It's going to rain soon! The River God Festival will be performed, are you all ready!" The man with the black umbrella frowned and looked at everyone.

"By the way, Lin Si, where is your box? If you don't have a box, just hug the puppet and hurry up."

Lin Si raised his eyes lazily, picked up the rough puppet with a big red smiley face in his arms, and followed at the end of the line.

The wretched man turned around in a strange way, and the scene in front of him made his hair stand on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat during the day.Both Lin Si and the doll in his hand tilted their heads expressionlessly, and suddenly there was a "click" as the doll's chin fell off, showing a weird smile, and Lin Si also had a consistent expression on his face. laugh.

The wretched man turned his head back in fear and rubbed the goosebumps on his hands.But the wretched man didn't notice that although it wasn't raining, every step he took was wet.

Twelve players pushed aside the bamboo forest, and a quiet mountain village was hidden behind it.Cooking smoke curled up, puppies barked, men carried hoes, women carried vegetable baskets, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

Linsi and the others were housed in two adjacent houses, one for men and one for women.The man with the black umbrella led them over. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and went to the village chief.

The eight men were relatively silent together, and the four women next door also ran over because of fear.

"It's the third time I've come in." Cao Hong held Du Fang in his arms, "It's also the third time for her."

"This is the second time I've come in." The delicate girl Duan Duan said with red eyes, "Thank you."

"Thanks, thank you, the skinny ones look better." The wretched man Du Qin had a fierce look on his face.

"Woooo, this is my first time. I'm really scared." Meng Rong hugged Jiang Kai and Jiang Zhen's arms tightly beside her, and the two women and one man also became familiar because of fear.

"It's my third time too." Lin Si hugged the puppet in his hand, "Thank you for that."

The other five people also introduced each other, mostly for the second and third time, they are Shi Shu, Xiao Xie, Yang Shaohui, Ding Guang.

After a while, the black umbrella man came back with the village chief.

The man with the black umbrella put his hands close to his side and he followed behind the village chief, he could see the compliment and fear.

The village head is a thin old man, stooped and thin, everything is so simple, except for his pair of eagle eyes.

"Village chief, what do you think of these?" The man with the black umbrella nodded and bowed, offering a cigarette.

The village chief didn't refuse, and didn't order it. He just sucked it in his mouth, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, everyone is nice. The River God will definitely be satisfied with this sacrifice."

The player made eye contact when they heard the information revealed by the NPC. Does this mean that they want us to participate in the River God Festival?

"Remember that after three days you will perform at the River God Sacrifice. The better the performance, the more rewards the River God will give you. There is not much work in these three days, so you should help the village build the ancestral hall, and be careful not to leave the village for these three days. "The village chief wanted to leave behind everyone's back.

Lin Si put the puppet on his shoulder and listened quietly to the village chief, thinking that there were so many things going on today, but unexpectedly the village chief turned his head back suddenly.

"There are twelve of you, in groups of four, and you have to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense every day."

"Remember no matter what happens, you have to burn incense every day!"

The village chief's face suddenly jumped in, his big eyes were wide open, even the fine red bloodshot eyes could be seen clearly, and his teeth yellowed by smoke could be seen clearly.

The peaceful atmosphere in the room was swept away, and the cold air rushed from the spine to the brain, making the whole body chill.

After the village chief left, the chill gradually eased.

"The village chief actually said that there are four people in a group, let's divide into groups now." Cao Hong's fat face and eyes were slit.

As soon as these words fell, the remaining few people also looked for each other and formed a team.

Lin Si, Duan Duan, Xiao Xie, and Ding Guang are in the first team, the three newcomers and the wretched man are in the first team, and the rest are also in the first team.

It was just evening, and the chickens, ducks and dogs were screaming outside, and the laughter of children was also heard.

"It's not dark yet, are you going out?" Cao Hong seemed to be a leader.

"We don't go out because we're afraid of accidents." The three newcomers finally calmed down, but they didn't dare to go out because they wanted to be frightened.

"I'll go out and find out the basic situation." Lin Si tied the puppet's limbs with strings he didn't know where, like a curious cat, he was studying how to make the puppet move.

Du Qin glared at him with the eyes of a fool, "Are you free?"

"You're insane, holding this thing scares people to death." Du Qin was terrified when he saw the puppet.

"That's what I'm performing, and there's nothing I can do to scare people. By the way, don't you see what you're carrying?" Lin Si slowly controlled it to bounce around on the ground, but the technique was unskilled, "Plop "The puppet fell to the ground with a sound.

"We are a performance team." Lin Si raised his eyebrows and continued to tinker with his little puppet.

And the players next to him, after being reminded by him, remembered the packages and boxes that were thrown in the corner.

Drums, flutes, clappers, all kinds of facial features, rouge for makeup, and a lot of odds and ends, it can be called a small theater troupe.

"What should I do? I don't know how to sing at all." Du Fang looked at the bright red palace dress in front of her.

"Two solutions, one, learn it within three days, two, screw up the River God Festival and die. Three, complete the task to break the curse." Lin Si persevered in controlling the puppet, but it might be because of the wrong rope, it simply disobedient.

Lin Si thought for a while, then took out ""Tiramisu" with both hands, turned it into a filament form, and wrapped it around the puppet.

Finally being more obedient, Lin Si frowned and relaxed, like a cute cat who got a beloved toy.

Lin Si didn't care about his language, what kind of situation he had created, with a twitch of his right hand, he put the puppet on his shoulder, and just walked out with it.

Smoke curled up from the chimneys of each house, strolling in the forest, there were many young girls aged eighteen or nineteen quietly watching him from behind the crack of the door, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

"Flowers in the afternoon, thousands of cold water, offering three animals, offering sacrifices with others, offering sacrifices to the river god, and everything prospers."

"Flowers in the afternoon, thousands of cold water, offering three animals, offering sacrifices with others, offering sacrifices to the river god, and everything prospers."

Nursery rhymes came from the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.

"Wow, woof, woof, woof!" A big yellow dog barked at Lin Si. It was looking at Lin Si vigilantly, and behind it was a group of children who were playing eagles to catch chickens.

"Ah Huang, Ah Huang, stop barking." The child who was playing the role of an eagle uttered a voice to stop Ah Huang's dog.

As he said, the dog stopped barking at Lin Si.

"Dog, well taught." Lin Si squatted down, with his hands behind his back, and praised the child who was about six or seven years old.

"Of course, Ah Huang is the smartest dog in this village." The little boy puffed out his chest and looked proud.

"I used to have a dog that looked like Ah Huang." Lin Si quietly narrowed the distance between himself and the child.

"My name is Nani, are you here to participate in the River God Festival?" Nani was curious about the puppet on Lin Si's shoulder.

"Yes, I'm here to perform a puppet show." Lin Si took out a grasshopper made of straw sticks from behind, "What were you singing just now?" Lin Si shook the grasshopper in front of her daughter, and her voice The head turns with the grasshopper.

"We were singing a sacrificial song just now." The little girl made a grasping motion with her small hands, and Lin Si put the grasshopper into her hand with a look of understanding.

"This song was sung by grandma when she was coaxing me to sleep. Everyone knows it."

"Ninny, nannie, nannie." An old voice floated from a distance, "Ah, grandma called me back for dinner. I'm leaving first."

"Flowers in the afternoon, thousands of cold water, offering three animals, offering sacrifices with others, offering sacrifices to the god of the river, all things prosper." Lin Si stood under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, watching his daughter go back humming nursery rhymes.

Nannan waved her hand, suddenly seemed to see something incredible, and rubbed her eyes.

Is it wrong?

The puppet seemed to smile.
