From the east to the west of the village, a lot of things happened. The most prominent one was the Chen family, who lived in the west of the village. Their family was a happy place in the west of the village. When it was the end of the year, they would put up Pai Gow and playing cards. Almost all the gamblers in the village would come here. Moreover, Chen Jialin's wife would be in a trance, especially when others were angry. Therefore, everyone who visited his house would pay attention to her and not dare to provoke her. She was also very famous and was also an expert at playing cards. Their family's main focus was on her.
Chen Jialin's nickname was Big Noisy Chen. No matter who had a wedding, they had to ask him for help. Therefore, everyone in the village knew that he had become a person who could help. Therefore, he had a lot of connections. People from all over the village came to his house to play, so his house was a famous entertainment place. Sometimes, when his family stopped playing cards, he would find some people to dance. This attracted a lot of curious people and they all came to his house to watch the show. Speaking of jumping gods, there was really a reason. The Almighty knew how to treat illnesses, and Che Jialin's wife was the Almighty. When she was dancing the Almighty, she would wear the weird clothes that the Almighty would not normally wear. The red one was a dress. Once the dress was wrapped around her waist, she looked completely different. In the beginning, she didn't play the drum. She started to tremble as soon as she wrapped the red dress around her. He was trembling from head to toe. After shivering for a while, it began to tremble. She mumbled with her eyes closed. Every time she trembled, she pretended to fall down, scaring the onlookers around her, but she sat down again.
The Almighty was sitting on a stool, and there was a memorial tablet in front of her. There was a red paper with black words on it. The older the memorial tablet, the better. It meant that she had danced quite a few times and was convincing. She wanted to let everyone near and far know that when her business was booming, many people came here to make her jump.
She lit an incense stick in front of the memorial tablet, and the smoke curled up. In an hour, her spirit came. Once the spirit came down, the prestige was different. Her whole body seemed to be trembling, as if she was leading thousands of troops. Her whole body was full of energy. She stood up and jumped around, almost dancing.
Next to the Almighty, there were two other gods. The people who were the two gods were all men. He was very normal and not confused. He quickly handed the round drum to the Almighty. The god picked up the drum and jumped around. He first recounted the process of the god descending the mountain. He described it very majestically. The two gods stood at the side. Whatever the Almighty asked him, he would answer. The good two gods could answer fluently, but those who were halfway there would make a fool of themselves. When the Almighty made a fuss, it was bad enough that he even scolded him. If the gods danced well, everything would be fine. If they did not dance well, they would have to pray for disaster relief. Hanging a red cloth on the memorial tablet, or killing chickens to eliminate disasters.
When it was midnight, it was time to send the god back to the mountain. At that time, the drums were beating very loudly and the god was singing very well.
The two gods sang,
"The great immortal has returned to the mountain.”
The Almighty said,
" My two immortal families, Green Dragon Mountain, White Tiger Mountain, Green Hua Mountain... traveling three thousand miles at night, riding the wind doesn't count..."
The singing tune mixed with the drumming was so pleasant to the ear. In addition to the godly jump, it seemed even more solemn and dignified, giving off a feeling of being there.
After the dance, she was so exhausted that she collapsed on the brick bed, unwilling to get up.
Therefore, she was very popular with those men. Basically, those who interacted with her were people who had been her second god. Some even had sex with her, and no one could tell. In any case, she did not have a good impression in the hearts of the people in the village. Some said that she was a gambler, and some said that she was a broken shoe. However, no one caught her, so it was just groundless accusations.
She was really glorious when she was dancing. However, she usually looked sickly, as if she had phthisis. She couldn't even walk straight, but when she played cards, she was energetic. Perhaps this was a gift from God.
Chen Jialin was rarely at home. He would go out to help out as a helper. Sometimes, he would not go home for a few days. This could satisfy her wish. Sometimes, she would bring dubious men home. They said it was playing cards, but most of them were cheating.
There was a prodigal named Wan at the eastern end of the village. He would usually go out to play with money. He would even borrow money if he had no money. He would play until his family was poor. There were many children at home. It was said that the children who played with money could not even put on their pants. A few of them covered the kang with a large blanket and did not want to come out. He didn't go home all day either. If he didn't go to one house to play, he would go to that house to play. Sometimes, he would go to other villages to play, and his family could not do anything about it. Sometimes, the neighbors would take the clothes they did not wear to his family and give them to his children to wear, but he still did not stop. He just played. In the end, there was nothing left. Even his wife divorced him, and his child didn't want him anymore. He was all alone. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he died because he didn't have money to treat his illness.
There were two rivers in Tunli, one of which was at the east end of Tunli, close to the supply and marketing cooperative. The other was at the west end, behind Jia Kun's house.
Many people had drowned in these two rivers, and this had all happened in the village.
