Chapter 21 Sacrifice
"Okay, okay, you've suffered a lot, my child!" Zhao Shi's mother smiled with tears in her eyes and said with concern.

Although Zhao Shi had never seen his mother, he could imagine what his mother looked like at the moment, and how his parents had lived through these years.

"Mom, I'm not suffering, I'm just letting you suffer with me!"

Is he suffering?
It’s quite bitter!
But it is definitely not as much as what our parents have suffered.

He is in a daze most of the time.

I don’t know what so-called suffering is. The suffering I experienced on the first day was forgotten on the second day.

What about the parents?
For nearly forty years, I haven't had a single comfortable day.

On the day he went to college, his father went from house to house to borrow money. Zhao Shi followed his father at the time. That day, his father, who was as tall as a mountain, hunched over for the first time. According to his father at the time, if he really couldn't pay back the money one day, Zhao Shi must remember how much he had borrowed and make sure to return it.

When a person dies, the debt cannot be settled.

A few thousand dollars is just a computer and a mobile phone for a family in the city, but for a family in the mountains, it is like the surrounding mountains, pressing them down and making them feel suffocated.

Zhao Shi graduated and just when his life was about to get better, he fell ill.

Traveled to major hospitals across the country.

In the end, there was no result.

The most important thing is that the son forgot about them.

Every time they called, they could feel that their son was talking to them as if he was chatting with a stranger.

At that moment their hearts were broken.

But you know, this is a disease.
As long as he is cured, the son will still be the same son.

He sold houses and land, and it can be said that he really spent everything he had.

The house and land in their hometown have different meanings to the two of them. Those passed down from several generations are the roots of the family, the roots they will return to no matter how far they go.

In the end, he was killed in their hands for the sake of his son.

"Silly child, I am not bitter! As long as you are well, even the water I drink will taste sweet!"

The two chatted for an hour until the mother's phone ran out of battery and they hung up.

There were some things Zhao Shi didn't tell his parents, but he kept them in his heart.

make money!

Make big money!
Then redeem the house and land in my hometown.

The house and the land are worthless.

But it is the root of a family and their final destination.

I can’t change it to gold, it’s too conspicuous.

I just don’t know if the jade from the other world has anything in common with that from Blue Star.

With this question in mind, Zhao Shi fell asleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, it is already bright.

Zhao Shi was still sleeping soundly. Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and bursts of noisy noises came from the alien world in his mind.

Zhao Shi concentrated his mind, and soon his consciousness and soul descended onto the tablet.

The sky in the other world has become completely dark.

However, the blazing torches lit up the Zhao family's yard as bright as day.

Dozens of people.

There were men, women, and quite a few children, filling the yard.

The evil spirit that happened last night scared many people.
Knowing that the Zhao family could protect them, no one hesitated.

No money is required, it is just a simple worship. In their opinion, there is no loss if no money is required.

As for kneeling down to worship other people’s ancestors?
Ha ha!

If you change to another family, you won’t even have the chance to worship them.

"My fellow villagers, the world is in chaos now, evil spirits are rampant, and we are in danger every day. The Zhao family is kind and gave us a chance to survive. Now kneel down with me to worship the ancestors of the Zhao family and respectfully ask the ancestors of the Zhao family to bless us, the common people!"

At the front of the yard, an old man with a cane stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, facing everyone. His sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally spoke in a deep voice.

The old man, known as Bao Ye, is eighty years old, the only one in the whole Anpingfang, and is a centenarian. It is said that he traveled a lot when he was young and had extraordinary experience. When he got old, because he was fair in his dealings, many families would ask him to be the middleman when they had problems, to write documents for dividing the family property, etc.
He is considered a highly respected elder in the neighborhood.

Just like the elders in the countryside.

"Don't worry, old man. We will offer our sincere sacrifices. From now on, the affairs of the Zhao family are all ours. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for the Zhao family will have to step on us first!"

As the old man finished speaking, a sturdy man patted his chest and made a promise.

The sturdy man is considered the strongest person in Anpingfang and the leader of the middle-aged generation.

He once learned martial arts in a martial arts school, but unfortunately he didn't get past the first level. Even so, three or five people were no match for him.

It can be regarded as a flag of Anpingfang to the outside world.

In a world like the Other World, everyone understands one thing: stick together. Only by sticking together can they survive.

"Yeah! Don't worry, old man!"

"Don't worry, Zhao's daughter-in-law!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry!"

The old man spoke. The strong man guaranteed.

Upon hearing this, others also echoed it.

Zhao Shi saw this scene and nodded silently.

The reason why he agreed to let other people in the neighborhood come in to seek refuge was because he had this plan in mind.

The other world is very dangerous. He now has the means to attack, but it is only within this ancestral hall.

It's a bit out of reach outside the ancestral hall.

Then get as many friends as you can. With so many people here, if anyone dares to come at night,
Such a large number of people is also a deterrent.

This indirectly ensures the safety of the mother and daughter.

As for the warriors?

I won't do anything to lower my status just for a few dozen pieces of silver.

You know, once you become a warrior, even if you work as a security guard, you can earn a lot of money a month. There is no need to kill people for a few dozen taels of silver.

"Okay, remember what you said!"

The old man nodded, turned to look at Jiang Linger, and said, "Zhao family, please place the tablet!"

"Yes, Master Bao!"

Jiang Ling'er responded and walked into the ancestral hall with Zhao Yan'er.

moment.

Zhao Yan held the tablet in her hand, and Jiang Ling'er followed holding a porcelain incense burner. The two walked out of the ancestral hall one after the other.

When Jiang Linger and Zhao Yan came out, the originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet.

The tablet is spiritual and no one dares to treat it disrespectfully, especially since it concerns the lives and property of their entire family.

Zhao Yan placed the tablet on the altar that had been prepared in advance, Jiang Linger placed the incense burner in front of the tablet, and finally Zhao Yan came to the front of the crowd.

Where is Jiang Ling'er?

Then he stood on the left side of the tablet.

"Zhao ancestors, the tablets have spirits, please protect us. Kneel!"

Lord Bao stood on the right side of the tablet and sang in an old but powerful voice.

As Master Bao finished speaking, everyone, including Jiang Ling, knelt down.

"bye!"

"Goodbye!"

“Three bows!
"rise!"

"Zhao's ancestors, please kneel down again for your kindness!"

拜！
"The ancestors of the Zhao family have been so kind to us. I kneel three times!
拜！
Kneel once and kowtow three times, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, the process is completely in accordance with the highest folk standards.

After the worship was completed, Zhao Shi felt a large amount of incense power pouring into the tablet and being absorbed by the space inside his body.

Hundreds of strands!
There were hundreds of incense sticks.

It's simply unimaginable.

Zhao Shi didn't expect that a formal worship would have so many incense sticks.

"boom"

Immediately, the space inside the body began to roar, as if it was being stretched and stretched, and began to expand, doubling in size before stopping.

this.
Zhao Shi looked at the expanding divine power space in surprise.

did not expect.

It turned out that the incense and divine power space in the body was upgraded first.

"We respectfully invite the ancestors of the Zhao family to show their divine power!"

At this time, Bao Ye spoke again, and as soon as he finished speaking, Bao Ye took out three incense sticks from his arms.

Everyone looked at Bao Ye in surprise.

Even Jiang Ling'er and Zhao Yan are the same.

"precious"

Jiang Linger wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old man's look.

Where is Zhao Shi?
After a little thought, I understood why the old man did this. First, to reassure everyone. The ancestral spirit barrier is invisible and inaudible to ordinary people. The Zhao family said that their ancestors appeared, but other people did not see it. Such a large-scale worship is equivalent to worshiping one's own ancestors, especially since Zhao Shi is essentially a junior of many people. How can he feel at ease if he doesn't let them see it?

2. Incense!

For the sake of incense.

This old man obviously knows a lot about the ancestral spirits.

Only by knowing what to do can the ancestors receive more incense and make their hearts more sincere.

Third, deterrence!
Only by showing your holiness can some people put away their inappropriate thoughts.

You know, human hearts are unpredictable. Who knows how many people here have set their sights on Zhao's mother and daughter?
