After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 72: Tuhua’s night trip to the village was full of surprises

While the exile team was setting up camp, Tuhua walked around the village and wandered outside in the dark. This was something she would never dare to do before, and she was so scared.

Because there were caravans and exiles in the village, many villagers were walking back and forth in the village with oil lamps. This gave Tuhua the opportunity to "visit" a small ancient village for the first time since arriving in Daliang.

She did not turn on a flashlight with a better lighting effect, perhaps because she subconsciously did not want to destroy the real sense of participation at the moment. In her ears, villagers who had returned from helping out in the village and chatted about their local accents walked past her.

In the night, it was difficult to see clearly the appearance of the villagers, but they could only see that the villagers were short in height, lean and dressed in coarse linen and gray clothes.

It's been a long time since Gaojia Village encountered such a big event at night. Many people stood in their yards and looked towards the eastern suburbs. Tuhua was curious and looked back in the direction where the women in the village were looking. She couldn't see anything from this distance. of.

She could see occasional smoke rising in the distance. She glanced at the time on her phone and saw that it was already Hai hour in ancient times. She was so curious that she could still get up and watch the lively villagers at this time.

On a whim, she stopped outside the village house for a while. When she got here, she was almost in the village.

She looked at the surrounding houses. Compared with the abandoned houses to the east of the village, the houses the villagers lived in were much better. However, she didn't see a single tile-roofed house along the way. Most of them were houses with civil structures. Each household had a courtyard. They are all about the same size. The courtyard walls are not high, but they are waist-high. They cannot be seen clearly at night, but they feel like they are made of mud mixed with hay.

At her height, standing outside the courtyard wall, she could easily look across and see the big yellow dog guarding the courtyard.

The big yellow sniffed its nose and noticed her as she approached. At first, it just barked twice in warning.

She thought it was fun and barked at Rhubarb twice!

Dahuang rushed over fiercely, clawing at the ground with his front paws, lying on the ground, staring at her closely and barking!

The village woman under the door curtain heard the call of Dahuang at home, and couldn't help but put her hands in her hands and cursed: "What are you calling, howling in the middle of the night! Stop barking!"

Dahuang didn't care about that. He noticed the stranger's scent and screamed warmly towards where Tuhua was standing.

Tu Hua laughed. Now she suddenly understood why the old people in the past said that animals and children have sharp eyes and can see things that ordinary people cannot.

If you can see it, you will not be allowed to speak to convey information.

When you can speak, your eyes seem to be covered, and your memory seems to have been formatted, shielding you from your natural understanding.

This may also be a law of heaven.

Dahuang kept barking, and the woman seemed to have noticed something. She found that Dahuang kept barking in a fixed direction outside, in the dark. Did the barking dog see something?

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked panicked.

Just as he was about to lift the curtain and enter the house, the door was pushed open. The man of the house was holding a hemp rope and dusting himself at the door. He looked up and saw the family dog ​​barking. The woman was in a panic. She was surprised and said: "It's such a cold day, why don't you cat in the house?" Come out to watch the dogs bark?"

"I was scared to death. It turns out you are back. Da Huang just screamed. I thought something was going on."

The man closed the door and walked towards the house, and he waved to Dahuang who was looking after the house. Dahuang smelled the smell of safety and rushed over to please his master, and received a head pat from the master +3.

Outside the courtyard wall, Tu Hua was no longer visible.

The system reminded her to stay away from the ancestral hall and village temple in the village for the time being.

Coming from the eastern suburbs, the ancestral hall of Gaojia Village is built just in the center of the village. The entire Gaojia Village seems to be built around this ancestral hall, with human fireworks scattered high and low in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

What surprised Tuhua was that Gaojia Village was not big, but the ancestral hall in the village was square and solemn, and it was the only wooden tile structure she saw along the way.

With cornices, brackets, carved beams and painted pillars, the style is very different from other houses in the village.

As an outsider, Tu Hua stood in the open space in front of the hall and looked at this traditional and ancient building, and she could feel the importance the villagers attached to the ancestral hall.

The system wouldn't let her get close, so she stayed far away.

The ancestral hall in Gaojia Village is opened only for important events, and today's event in the village is not small. Several elders in the village thought over and over again, and opened the ancestral hall to offer incense to their ancestors, inform them of important events in the village in advance, and ask the spirits of their ancestors in heaven to bless everything safely and smoothly.

In the ancestral hall, candles are brightly lit and incense is burning. The lintel of the door is wide open, and from time to time villagers who have returned from time to time go in together to kowtow to their ancestors, and then either stay or go home.

Tu Hua stood outside the light source and watched several elders from Gaojiacun talking inside.

It's too far away to hear clearly.

But she guessed it might be because the village received so many prisoners tonight.

Tu Hua felt a little touched in her heart.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a slightly familiar voice coming from behind him.

"Third uncle, let's give it a try. If I feel right, there must be someone in the Xie family who knows something."

Tu Hua turned around and looked at the sound, it was Gaoshan River!

Gao Shanhe was helping Gao Li to finish his work in the east, and the uncle and nephew came side by side towards the ancestral hall.

After settling down the officials and prisoners at night, they still couldn't sleep. Gao Lizheng's home was in relatively better condition. His wife and children moved to a relative's house next door, leaving the house free for Xiong Jiushan and other detaining officers to rest.

The people in charge of Gaojia Village gathered in the ancestral hall to talk, and everyone felt at ease with the ancestors protecting them.

Gao Li was asking: "In front of everyone, please tell me carefully about this exile team on the way here. If there is really an opportunity, we will try it."

Gao Shanhe nodded, and the two walked to the steps, "Third uncle, please."

Tu Hua tilted her head slightly, watching the two of them climb up the stairs. They both walked to the sacred case, raised their hands and cupped their fists, bowed down in front of the ancestors of the Gao family, and stood up to greet the clansmen on the left and right.

Tu Hua stood quietly outside the ancestral hall with her hands in her pockets. In the dark and bright ancestral hall, voices could be heard from time to time.

"Click——"

She turned on her phone and couldn't help but take pictures of what she saw.

Looking down at the photos in the album, using your fingertips to zoom in, you can even see the details inside the temple.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't get close for the time being, she really wanted to go in and visit.

There is a special bit of luck here in Gaojia Village. I wonder if the people in their village know about it.

Another villager passed by.

"What do the Lizheng clan elders and the others think? Please invite Sister-in-law Huaihua to come down the mountain?"

"I don't know. The clan elder said we can wait until we find out."

"Sister-in-law Huaihua is not here, who knows if this is correct?"

"Why don't you go in and cause trouble? Li Zheng and the clan elders don't know better than you."

"understood."

The two of them chatted and walked past Tu Hua into the ancestral hall.

Tu Hua held the phone and raised her head to look ahead.

Who?
What mountain to go down?
