Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 195 New Bridge Sacrifice

It was already dark, and the melon-eating system told Xiao Chunya that Luo Xiaopang's grandfather had come out from the third level of Yunmeng Mountain, but failed to break through his state of mind, and his cultivation level had fallen from the middle stage of Huajin to the early stage.

Xiao Chunya was originally hesitant, but when she heard the news, she decided not to take the risk without a second thought. She would wait until she overcame her fear of ghosts and was able to cut the python madly, and then she would go to the third floor.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Xiao Chunya put on thick court robes and participated in the sacrificial activities on the bridge. Seeing the dense crowd, it was worthy of the name of Pengjia Village, which had a larger population than Guangning Town. The average military strength was much higher than that of Zhaojia Village. It was a typical example of the strong being respected.

"The Lord of Guangning is here!"

"Chubby and adorable."

"I have seen her before. Now she is not as fat as before. I heard that studying in a provincial academy is too brain-intensive. It's a pity that she is a woman, otherwise she would definitely have been a candidate for the imperial examination."

The people in the village don't like pedantic scholars and look down on those sour scholars, but they still respect people with talent and ability.

For example, the Lord of Guangning Township had already reached the Dark Power Stage before he was ten years old. He built Zhaojia Village and Xiaohe Village, two notoriously poor villages, into the wealthy town of Guangning.

On this day, the sky was as blue as a gem, and the sun shone on the newly built bridge, making it sparkle. The bridge was majestic and magnificent, spanning the large tiankeng, like a giant dragon lying prone. Both ends of the bridge were already crowded with people.

The sacrificial site was decorated solemnly, with red silk fluttering and the incense table filled with rich offerings. Fresh fruits, cooked sheep heads, and exquisite cakes all showed people's respect and prayers to the gods.

Accompanied by the sound of melodious drums and music, the sacrificial procession slowly approached. The chief priest in black robes walked in the front, with a solemn face, holding the sacrificial text in his hand, and walking steadily. Behind him was Xiao Chunya in court dress, with a golden hat and clothes, which made her look even more noble.

Behind them was a group of male dancers, holding colorful ribbons and dancing gracefully, as if they were conveying people's joy and expectations to the gods.

The chief priest climbed up the platform, faced the bridge, and read the sacrificial text aloud. His voice was loud and deep, echoing on the river. In the sacrificial text, he thanked the gods for their protection, prayed for the bridge to be forever solid, and for the safety of passers-by.

After the recitation, the chief priest burned the sacrificial text, and the incense rose up to the sky. At this time, everyone in the audience knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the gods devoutly, muttered something, and their hearts were full of beautiful expectations for the future.

Next, there is a solemn wine offering ceremony. The chief priest holds a golden cup and pours the mellow wine onto the ground to pay tribute to the gods of heaven and earth.

During the entire ancestor worship ceremony, Xiao Chunya was just a decoration. She felt that a puppet was totally unnecessary.

After the sacrificial ceremony, people cheered and the sound of firecrackers was deafening. This newly built bridge is not only a major transportation route connecting the two sides of the strait, but also a bridge of hope in people's hearts, carrying their yearning for a better life.

"It's so hot!" Xiao Chunya got into the carriage, took off her thick court robes and the heavy crown that almost broke her neck, and changed into a small skirt. She looked chubby and cute, which was her true nature.

"Hey? Where are Fourth Uncle and the others going?" Xiao Chunya came out just in time to see Fourth Uncle and four young men from the village waving goodbye as they left in the carriage.

"Shouchun Wharf." Zhao Erlang said, "Your great grandfather is worried about handing over the management rights of the wharf to others. In a few days, your uncle and I will bring some supplies over. From now on, your uncle and your fourth and fifth uncles will manage it until you take over."

The uncle he mentioned is Zhao Dong's son Zhao Lan. Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi are looking for people to take over their jobs. The convoy has a long journey, they are old after all, and all aspects of the town need to speed up, so it is better not to travel far.

After the Guangning Bridge was opened to traffic, people could travel to Shouchun and back twice a day. The daily wage for working there was 40 cents. Many people scrambled to go, but unfortunately they were not eligible to go because they were within the fifth degree of mourning.

"Since the fusion of the small worlds, the fate of the old Zhao family has changed. Our family is getting better and better. Fourth Aunt is living a comfortable life and there is a fat baby. Eh? How can I see the fetus?" Xiao Chunya opened her eyes wide and looked at the pink fat baby on Gao's shoulder. "Oh my! It's a girl. The Zhao family is finally no longer a Buddhist temple!"

Zhao Silang, who was riding away in a carriage, heard Xiao Chun'er's voice and almost wanted to jump out of the carriage and run back, but was held back by Zhao Wulang.

"Fourth brother, calm down."

"My daughter, I have a daughter!" Zhao Silang couldn't calm down at all. Ever since the two boys were born, there has been no movement in his wife's belly, and he was a little desperate.

What Zhao Lan was concerned about was how Xiao Chunya could see the fetus. Isn’t it only the Heavenly Master who can see these things?

Zhao Wulang held down his fourth brother while answering, "The technique that Xiaochuner practiced was modified beyond recognition. She was able to see ghosts before, but she was too scared so Xiaoqiu sealed her third eye."

While practicing the same set of exercises, others only increased their strength and speed, but Xiao Chunya developed the element of fire. A person who was afraid of ghosts developed a pair of clairvoyance, so now she dared not go out alone at night.

This is a big misunderstanding. Xiaochun also came to this time and space. Since she learned to walk, she dared not go out alone after dark. Otherwise, why did Master Mingyue insist on opening a small door when they were in Xiaowang Village?

"Fourth brother, many people came to the village today, and many people heard Xiaochun'er's voice. Someone will tell Fourth Sister-in-law." Zhao Wulang let go when he saw that Zhao Silang no longer wanted to jump out of the car. He muttered a few more words.

"If you get off the car rashly, won't Xiaochuner find out that someone has heard what she said in her heart? It would be terrible if no one can hear her inner voice in the future."

In the past few years, everyone has become very skilled at acting in front of Xiao Chunya, so Xiao Chunya has not yet realized that her voice has been heard.

"Oh my, Aunt Wu has a baby too, and a fat little brother. Our Zhao family is full of men but few women!"

This time Zhao Wulang wanted to jump out of the car. It was his first time being a father and he thought he had taken sterilization drugs and would never have children in his life.

This time it was Zhao Lan and Zhao Silang who held him down, and Zhao Silang repeated what he had just said.

"Fifth brother, calm down. Our family lacks everything except a son. Others are laughing at our family behind our backs, saying it's a Buddhist temple."

What is retribution in this life?

Zhao Wulang felt it deeply. He was angry and amused. He turned his head to the side. He would be back tomorrow night. It would be less than two hours' journey and it would be very convenient for him to go home.
