Chapter 80: Standing an egg, offering sacrifice to ancestors, Aunt Qiu'e sending off the gods
There were some feudal customs in ancient rural areas, such as standing eggs and burning paper money and paper clothes.
According to the custom, if a family encounters a hardship, such as a child falling ill, it is believed that the family's deceased ancestor is not living well in the underworld and has come up to ask for money, and touched the child, causing the child to fall ill.
Therefore, the family would use the method of standing eggs to ask which ancestor encountered difficulties.
The operation process is also very simple. Just prepare an egg and a mirror, put the egg on the mirror, and try to stand the egg up with your hands. While standing the egg up, ask: "XX, are you short of clothes and money in the underground?"
If the egg happened to stand upright at this time, it would be considered that the ancestor had come to the human world to ask for something.
Then they would buy some paper money, fold some gold ingots, make some clothes with paper, and burn them for the other person. While burning them, they would also say: These are burned for XX, you have received the things, and you must bless our whole family to be safe and healthy in the underworld.
Nao Nao and the others all thought that Aunt Qiu'e was burning something for the ancestors.
After Aunt Qiu'e finished her muttering, she left in a hurry.
Biaozi was curious, so he walked over to take a look and shouted in shock: "Look, what is this?"
Several people quickly ran forward and started to make a fuss: "Is this bloody thing the internal organs?"
"I think so. What kind of internal organs are these? Why is Aunt Qiu'e burning paper money for internal organs?" Erdan felt his hair stand on end.
Li Yuer also took a closer look and said, "It looks like the internal organs of a chicken or duck."
It’s no different from the chicken liver I ate in my previous life, just ordinary chicken and duck offal.
Li Erlang also found it strange. “I’ve seen people burn paper money and small clothes for their ancestors, but I’ve never seen people offer raw chicken and duck viscera as sacrifices.”
Li Yuer suddenly thought of something and said, "These chicken and duck offal are just cheap for us."
Li Erlang immediately screamed: "Yu Baoer, you are not right! We have the best pork belly and eggs in the car, why are you eating this dirty stuff? No! Absolutely not!"
Li Yuer hit him on the forehead, "Brother, please don't slander my reputation! This is not for me to eat, it's for the creatures in the sea."
Li Yuer said mysteriously, "How about I teach you a new way to catch fish tomorrow?"
"What's new?" The friends were all very curious.
"It's a secret. I'll tell you tomorrow. But today, you have to keep these away and take them with you when you go to the beach tomorrow." Li Yuer said, pointing at the internal organs on the ground.
"Ah?" Biaozi looked at the bloody pile with disgust.
Naonao pushed him and said, "Did you hear me? Keep it."
Biaozi pointed at himself and said, "I'll do it?"
Several people nodded.
"Why?"
Nao Nao said, "Because you just ate an extra meat bun in town."
"I...had known it earlier, had known it earlier..." Biaozi recalled the taste of the meat buns, with thin skin and large fillings, eighteen folds, fragrant and fresh, so delicious!
Forget it, Biaozi thought about it, picked up a stick from the roadside with disgust, picked up those things, put them on a few broad fallen leaves, then pinched the edge of the leaves with his fingers to drag them up and threw them into the bucket.
Anyway, I have to take a bucket to catch seafood tomorrow, so I will put the bucket far away next to the pigpen in the backyard when I get home.
Aunt Qiu'e rubbed her red, frozen fingers and ran back home stealthily.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw her man Ge Laosi waiting behind it.
Ge Lao Si asked: "How is it? Have you sent him away?"
Aunt Qiu'e nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, they've been sent away! Let me tell you, yesterday Doctor Liu used the freshly dug chicken entrails to cover the neck of the mountain boy's mother, and after a while, the mountain boy's mother came back to life. I think it was a magic trick used by the gods, and the chicken entrails were the offerings for the sacrifice. The things eaten by the gods are no longer ordinary things, so we have to worship them properly before we can send them away.
Many people in our village don't know, and I don't know who threw it directly onto the street. How can this be tolerated? If you offend the immortals, how can you expect good results?"
As Aunt Qiu'e spoke, she looked around, as if there really were fairies around listening in the dark.
Fourth Uncle Ge nodded seriously and said, "That's right. No matter what, it's always right to show respect."
The two smiled at each other mysteriously.
If Doctor Liu heard this, he would definitely have a serious talk with them.
The method of using chicken offal to save lives is simply based on the principle that the body temperature of animals is similar to that of humans. Fresh offal still has vitality and temperature, and can warm the body and unblock blocked qi to a certain extent.
Of course, this was a folk remedy used in an era when medical standards were relatively backward. If Li Yuer were present, he would definitely have used more advanced and more effective methods such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.
Ma Daqiang had just left the house when Lu He thought his son was dead and hanged himself. The villagers quickly went to Ma Daqiang's house, found Lu He hanging herself, and rescued her in time. Lu He was lucky to be saved in a short time.
After returning home, Li Erlang pushed the cart into the main hall of the east wing where Datou and his family lived, and then carried the things to the main hall of the upper wing.
As soon as they entered the room, the two found that the atmosphere was not right. Old Mrs. Cai and her husband, as well as several elders of the Cai family, were there, and they all looked at Li Yuer.
Li Yuer already had a premonition in her mind and guessed why they were waiting here.
Li Erlang put the things on the table. Old man Li moved his lips, then closed them again, and finally said nothing.
Mr. Cai sighed and said, "Yu Baoer, no matter what happens, tell your uncle the truth, and your uncle will protect you."
Li Yuer didn't pretend not to understand and asked, "Uncle, are you referring to the fight yesterday?"
"Fight? Who fought?" Li Erlang returned to Rabbit Island yesterday and I don’t know what happened next.
Li Yuer said: "Yesterday, Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, Ma Wu and Shan Zai Er blocked our way under the big willow tree in the east of the village and robbed us of our seafood. Of course we refused to give it to them, but they insisted on robbing us and even verbally abused us, so we started fighting."
"Damn!" Li Erlang looked at Li Yu'er in disbelief and said, "You did it too?"
He gestured, Li Yu'er barely reached his chest? She was so tall, yet she dared to fight. She was indeed his sister, a tiger.
Li Yuer slapped his hand away and said, "We were forced to do this. They couldn't beat us, so they wanted to plot against me. Ma Wu was very wicked. He hid stones behind him and attacked me. When I dodged, he hit the mountain boy behind me. The mountain boy's forehead was broken and he fell to the ground unconscious, with a pool of blood.
Nao Nao and I tore off the hem of his clothes, asked for wood ash from a nearby family, and wrapped it up. Then I asked Er Dan to take some silver to the town to hire a doctor, which cost more than one tael. The village chief paid for it when we got back, and Er Dan returned the silver to me. "
Old Master Cai nodded and said, "Sister, Yu Baoer's words are exactly the same as what the village chief's Nao Nao said to the village chief last night. I think the three grandsons of the old Sun family and Ma Wu are the ones who lied.
The problem was that Shanzai'er was the one who hit him. He said that it was Yubao'er who hit him, and that these things that cats and dogs hate were all ungrateful and ungrateful. He also said that they just wanted to see what was in the bucket and didn't want to steal it at all. It was Naonao and the others who started it first.
That old lady Sun also spread rumors in the village, saying that Nao Nao relied on being the son of the village chief to be partial and indulge his son in bullying others by taking advantage of his power. "
