05 Secret

The red camellia was hung in the shrine by a red thread.

Luo Yuan was sure that the god of the clan should really like red camellia tea, so she collected all the red paper on the incense stick, folded a large handful of red camellia tea, and rolled it up with paper to make flower branches - this was one of the ways she used to coax her sister when she was young.

The parents of the two sisters died very early. Her sister was several years older than her. Her sister was in the sixth grade of elementary school and she was in the freshman year, so she often used gadgets to coax her sister. For a long time, her folded colorful decorative paper flowers were inserted in the vase in the sister's room.

The red paper used to wrap the incense stick has a very good texture, and there are gold patterns on it, so it is also very beautiful to fold camellias. Although the scene of holding this big handful of red paper flowers to the god of the clan seems a bit strange, as if it was an old courtship scene, Luo Yuan herself did not feel anything. After all, she dared not have any ideas about the god, and of course she didn't feel anything about that god, but judging from the arc of his smile, he did not express the intention of repulsion and accepted it happily.

The bouquet received the same treatment as the previous one, hanging in the shrine by a red line, and it was the innermost layer, which was much better than Luo Yu'an's own treatment. Luo Yu'an only lie on the outermost side of the shrine to sleep at night. Because of such a small thing, Luo Yu'an was strangely afraid of those red lines.

At first she thought that the god of the clan just likes red camellia tea, but she was taken out to eat a few times. On the way, she saw the god of the clan stop and admire other flowers, and it seemed that she liked it.

"Do you like these flowers? If you like them, why don't people plant them in your courtyard?"

"The god of clan will not favor anything." The god of clan answered her.

Luo Yuan didn't understand very much, but she carefully saw only two big words from the smile of the god of the clan, from his bent eyes, his fluttering hair, and his sleeves.

--want to.

On the offering platform of the shrine, there was a small bottle with two flowers picked from the roadside outside the courtyard.

The ladies of the clans were unaware of the extra flowers on the divine platform. Only when the clans were sitting upright on the divine platform, they would occasionally look at the two ordinary flowers. They often wither after a day or two, but before withering, those who quietly inserted them into the vase would replace them and replace them with new flowers.

Compared with the high-priced fruits nearby, this is really a shabby offering.

Luo Yuan was very ashamed of her behavior of "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha". The flowers were picked on the roadside, and the glass bottle was a small bottle of drinks held in the kitchen. She was embarrassed to say that this was a gift, so she could only silently mix it with the fruit and desserts as offerings.

When facing God, as an ordinary person, she always fears, but on the one hand, God acts very gentle and harmless, and she can only rely on him, and is often confused by his appearance that looks too human, thinking that he is a boy about the same age as his sister.

He has been taken to dinner many times by him with the sleeve of the God of Clan. Luo Yuan can face it calmly. Most of the time they don’t pass by in the cafeteria, but occasionally there will be no time staggered, so Luo Yuan shrank into a separate room with the least crowded people, where there are only two people eating.

The two old ladies of the family would drink tea after dinner and chat for a while. Luo Yuan listened to them while eating.

"When I went to the shrine to burn incense to the gods in the past two days, I seemed to smell a stinking smell."

"I also smell it, it's looming, what's going on?"

"I think the previous escaped sacrifice died in a corner of the yard and began to rot and it smelled a little stench?"

"It is possible that after hiding for so long, it is almost time to starve to death. You have to quickly follow the smell and find the body to deal with it."

"The smell is near the shrine, so that person won't hide under the shrine, right?"

"How can ordinary people not be afraid of the god of clans? I am afraid they are not crazy."

Luo Yuan ate silently, feeling that the two old ladies seemed to be talking about a mouse that died in a corner of the house.

Then... she stretched out her arms and sniffed her own smell. It seemed that it was really a bit smelly, which made people feel very ashamed. She also wanted to take a bath, but there was no place to take a bath in the yard. She had to be taken by the genus god if she wanted to leave the yard. She didn't dare to bother the genus god, so she kept dragging it.

It’s really impossible not to clean it up now. I’m going to smoke the god of clans.

"Take a bath?" The god of the clan seemed to be reminded and said with a smile: "Yes, humans need to clean up their bodies."

Luo Yuan, who made this request, felt relieved when he saw that the god of the clan did not dislike the trouble. The god of the clan was floating in front, and she chased him from behind and found a bathhouse. The bathhouse in this house was like the canteen, with an ancient appearance. As soon as he walked in, it was built in a standard and comfortable manner, with a dozen partitions of the bathroom and a bathhouse.

It was really comfortable to finally take a hot bath, but the process was very worrying. It was not because the god of the clan was floating nearby, but because someone else came to the bathhouse halfway through the bathhouse, and she finally discovered that this was a men's bathhouse.

She entered the innermost room, and the few rooms next to her, and the few people were washing and chatting. The elder brothers seemed to be responsible for guarding the shrine courtyard. Although they looked cold and serious on the surface, they were very good at chatting when taking a shower.

Luo Yuan listened to them talking about where they went from shift change cycle to when they went back to the holiday, and then talked about the god of clans.

After a few words that I occasionally heard in the yard outside during this period, Luo Yuan already knew that the god of the clan is the god of the Qin clan, and the Qin clan is a huge and prosperous family protected by the gods. These people were selected from the Qin clan. Except for the two women, the rest would rotate every once in a while.

"I heard from the girl of the clan that this time the awakened clan god was very gentle. Qin Minglang and Qin Mingcheng made such a big mistake before, neglecting the sacrifices, and did not deprive them of their surnames, but just drove them to the edge."

"Then our guard mission this period should be relatively easy, at least no one will die."

"That one period in the past two years was a tragic period. The awakened god was cruel. The Qin clan members who made mistakes during his awakening had no good ending. Even the guards died because he noticed that they had done something wrong. Moreover, the baby who was very fond of "punishment" and who sent him to his family to receive "blessings" that year would probably be affected in the future and become a "ruthless official."

"When it comes to this, there was one time before. Do you know my uncle Qin Feijun? Now he is the chief verdict and is known as the "Walking Code". It is said that the year when my uncle was born, the character of the clan god awakened was particularly harsh and cold, so the children who were blessed by the clan god were also affected. They revised the laws and the cases that my uncle was sentenced as the verdict, and all the prisoners were punished by the clan god.

Luo Yuan's head became lower and lower as he listened to these gossips. These people didn't know that when they were gossiping their clan gods, the clan god himself sat on the bathing partition next to him, listening quietly with a gentle smile.

He looked up slightly and glanced up. Luo Yuan saw the white sleeves hanging down by the god of clan and accelerated the shower.

While the people were still taking a shower and not coming out, Luo Yuan quickly changed into a clean bathrobe and slipped out, pulled up the sleeves of the god of clan again, and went back under his guidance. The corridor she walked through when she first came here was still the same dim light, but she was not afraid, and even wanted to chat.

“Do you fall asleep every once in a while?”

The god of clan smiled and nodded.

"Then, will each awaken show a different personality?"

The god of clan smiled and nodded.

“Do you remember what happened before?”

Luo Yuan asked three times, and the slight footsteps that she was the only one echoed in the corridor.

The clan god finally stopped smiling and nodded, and his tone slowly faded like the setting sun: "The clan god will not forget anything. The shrine of every family is an increasingly bloated genealogy and family notes."

Luo Yuan was surprised, "Does every family... have other clan gods besides you?"

The god of clan turned his head, and his smile looked like a frozen mask of a statue of god. He said: "This world is not as simple as ordinary people."

The sound of the wind whimpered through the corridor and through her empty bathrobe, making her feel a little cold.

Yes, the true appearance of this hidden world has only opened a corner in front of me. Luo Yuan did not try to ask any related questions anymore. He saw a cluster of chrysanthemums blooming just in the roadside, and broke two branches in his hand, preparing to go back and replace the flowers that were about to wither in the shrine.

.

"Why do I think the supplies I have replaced recently will be a little less occasionally?"

"That stench that seemed to be there was gone."

"The hiding sacrifice is still without any trace. Where did you die in? We haven't found it? Is it because the clan god has dealt with it?"

"I am so ashamed to let the god of clan handle such a small matter himself."

Luo Yuan heard the routine nagging of the two women, and she felt no trouble in her heart and left after dinner. She lived like a living ghost in this ancient house. Compared to being scared by them at the beginning, she felt that now it should be reversed. If she showed traces one day, she would probably scare these two women.

The young girls who followed the two girls to learn seemed to be trained as the next maid. Although the girls emphasized that serving the god of the clan is the only life and hoped that several successors could concentrate on their studies, two of them were always not serious and would quietly hide and play with their mobile phones.

Luo Yuan hadn't seen a cell phone for a long time. Once, he happened to see two people playing with their cell phones. He couldn't help but look over and look. The god of clan followed her wishes. Luo Yuan stood beside the two girls and looked at their phone screens, while the god of clan floated aside.

The two girls were playing games, but Luo Yuan had never played them, but she remembered that her sister seemed to have played this game as well. She couldn't help but feel friendly when she looked at the two girls.

The game was well-made, and the two of them were concentrating on controlling the game villains to fight. The god of clan looked for a while and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a cell phone, they are playing games." Luo Yuan hesitated, "If you are interested in this, you can ask the girls to offer their mobile phones." She actually had a little selfish intention to say this. She had been away from the familiar life for too long, and she wanted to get in touch with the familiar world she was familiar with.

The tone of the clan god is calm: "The clan god will not favor anything."

Luo Yuan: "..." Very familiar words.

Although he would not take the initiative to ask for it, he would still accept it if he got it in front of him. Is this what it means? Luo Yuan guessed with his experience of communicating with his adolescent sister.

Should the god of clan say that he is like an old man who is not good at making requests and only likes to guess, or like a young man who wants something but doesn’t speak up and wants to guess?

Although I couldn't get a cell phone, if I went to the yard outside every day, I would see many people using their cell phones secretly. They made phone calls, chatted, watched news, and played games. Every time Luo Yuan saw it, he would pull the sleeve of the God of the Clan. If he could pull it, it would mean that the God of the Clan allowed her to go over and watch it.

Allowed every time.

Through such behavior, Luo Yuan finally felt connected to the real world again, and the occasional push news on her mobile phone also had things that she was familiar with.

Without anyone in the ancient house, Luo Yu'an almost looked at their cell phones with the god of clan. So there were some secrets that were not hidden, such as a guardian who was dating several lovers with his wife on his back.

The man put down his cell phone to get something. Luo Yu'an stood aside and looked at the cell phone, with a hesitant expression on his face, and he looked at the god of clan with a silence.

The god of clan smiled and nodded.

Luo Yuan instantly felt that the god of the clan understood what he was thinking and expressed support. So she picked up her phone and quickly pulled all the man’s wife and lovers into a group, then shared all the chat screenshots, and quickly put the phone back to its original place before the man came back.

After doing all this, she looked at the god of clan and couldn't help but smile.

The god of clan still had the same unchanging smile, but after a while, he tilted his head in confusion, as if asking, "What are you doing?"

Luo Yuan also tilted his head and showed an equally puzzled expression: "…?" Don't you know what I was doing just now? Isn't that nodding meant acquiescent?
