Chapter 66: Crying Night
The marriage customs of the coastal Tan people are unique.
If the characteristics of Lu Min's marriage customs pay attention to a ritual word, then the Tan family wedding customs also have a singing word.
In the strict marriage customs of the Tan family, a few days before a woman gets married, she must stay at home, and she must cry and sigh to herself in the boat or shed.
Not only that, but the bridesmaids and other people also have to accompany them day and night, and everyone sighs and sings with affection, which means sighing for the sister.
The content of the sigh includes, saltwater song, crying wedding song, October pregnancy song, and so on.
The purpose is to remember the nurturing kindness of parents, to express the feelings of siblings and aunts, and to give up the pain of leaving relatives.
In the sighing stage, there are bridesmaids sighing to each other, the bride sighing alone, mother and daughter sighing, and sisters sighing together.
If the bride is smart and good at singing, rich in emotion and can sing and sigh, she often has to sigh for ten all-nighters before she stops and has fun.
The night before the wedding, the woman who is about to marry will cry at her mother's house.
Crying at night is crying and marrying.
The more sorrowful the night cry, the deeper the gratitude to the biological parents.
Is she going to get married tomorrow?
I quietly listened to the night cry of the neighboring boat sister and continued to practice internal strength.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, the night cry of the fish sister in the neighboring boat came to an abrupt end.
Someone arrived in a hurry to inform her that the sampan she was being caught in the sea on the way.
It turned out that the groom was also a member of the Tan family, and he had not yet come ashore to live and did not live in the shallow bay where I was, so if he wanted to greet his family, he did not need to go through the sea.
It's just that the groom was in a hurry to arrive early, and he also felt that the wind and waves on the sea had basically stopped, so he chose to pass through a sea area to greet his relatives.
The sampan that greets the relatives rises again as it passes through the sea.
The sampan and the welcoming procession are now nowhere to be found.
When the bad news came, the fish sister in the neighboring boat was grief-stricken, and the people on the boat comforted one after another.
However, at this time, the sound of drums came from afar, approaching the shallow bay.
I opened my eyes and stopped my cultivation movements, and walked out of the cabin to the deck.
Accompanied by the sound of drums, there is a small sampan with a big red scarf on the head.
The sampan used a motor to break through the water, and in addition to the band, there were seven female guests and a man dressed in a groom's suit.
Everyone's eyes were glazed and pale.
The band played mechanically, and the rest stood straight with their arms down.
I sat cross-legged on the deck after seeing what was going on at the little sampan, and the fish sister of the neighboring ship hurried out of the cabin as the little sampan approached a little shallow bay.
She wept with joy at the arrival of the little sampan, and hurriedly beckoned the rest of the ship to witness the arrival of the welcoming procession, and hurried back to the cabin to dress up.
According to people's opinions, among the seven female guests on the sampan are the groom's sister-in-law and sister, as well as the matchmaker, and it is the groom who wears the groom's clothes on the sampan.
The Tan family's wedding day is from 3 to 6 o'clock in the morning, and people are excited that the welcoming team is safe and sound, and they are also excited that the welcoming team did not miss the good day.
I sat quietly on the deck, relieved as the welcoming party passed in front of me.
The invading water ghosts were forced out of the corpses at the same time, I urged the anger, raised the palm of the array, instantly formed the formation in the palm of the palm, and then waved the palm and threw it.
The water spirits then scattered, and the corpses fell limply into the sampan or water, and the small sampans continued to move forward with the help of the motor.
Sister Yu of the neighboring boat came out of the cabin at this time surrounded by everyone.
She wears a phoenix hairpin, a five-color dress, dark green glasses, and new socks with a checkered face.
The female companion closest to her, holding a black umbrella to cover her.
It was still dawn, and her dark green eyes blocked her vision.
Everyone was frightened, and they hurriedly covered their mouths and looked at each other again, not knowing how to mention the bad news of her return to her for a while.
I went to rest under the middle board of the front cabin, and as soon as I lay down, I heard her heart-rending cry.
The sound of her coming back made me wonder if I had done something wrong.
If she is successfully taken away, the price will naturally be short-lived, but she can be happy for a while, and even death will not have any more sadness.
As my doubts grew, I was surprised that I had begun to care about the feelings of a complete stranger.
I couldn't help frowning, adjusting my mood as soon as possible to a wave-free and then closing my eyes to rest.
When I fell asleep, I seemed to have a lot of dreams again, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember it at all.
I was awakened by the sound of music.
In the shallow bay, the corpses and small sampans have been cleared to nowhere.
The groom died in the neighboring boat, but another family successfully married the bride from elsewhere.
The bridegroom stands at the bow of the boat with a happy face and supports the bride, and immediately holds a worship ceremony when he arrives on his ship.
The ancestral tablet is full of incense and candles, firecrackers are ringing in the air, and relatives and friends are noisy.
A flower pot is placed in the middle of the boat, and a pomegranate branch is inserted into the pot, and the branch is full of red dates and peanuts.
The pomegranate symbolizes the full house of children and grandchildren, and the red date indicates the early birth of a noble son, and the flower business is more than a blessing.
When the newlyweds visit the church, the bride sang: Be a new daughter-in-law to take care of the family, do not learn from the eldest sister (matchmaker) to play at home, the mother-in-law has a lot to say, and burn incense day and night to change tea (referring to burning incense and worshipping the family god).
At the end of the visit, the groom hands the bride a cup of steaming fragrant tea to show his deep affection for the bride.
The bride took the hot tea with both hands, and then thanked her softly: thank you groom for a cup of tea, eat to the bottom of the cup to see the green dragon, the dragon and the phoenix swallow the stomach, no money to press the cup and complain about the poor sister.
The groom then replied: In April, the night wind blows to send Lang, and the sister is sent to the boat to be divided, and the brother and sister who are selected at sea cover their sleeves and smile in their hearts.
At this point, the guests began to drink and play with the bride.
Some people used the charcoal powder prepared in advance and kept smearing it on the face of the mother-in-law of the family at home.
The bride can only use the basin to hold water again and again, and take a new towel to wash the dirty face of the elders, in order to show respect and filial piety to her in-laws.
At the end of the trouble, the bride will go back to her parents' house by boat to show that she has good luck.
It is said that tomorrow morning, the bride will be accompanied by a female guest and return to her husband's house by boat, where she will offer betel lang and cigarettes to the elders and relatives of her husband's family, and she will stay at her husband's house from then on.
I lit a fire at the stern of the boat to cook, while watching the family lively, and also watched the neighboring boat fish sister's house closed the door and silent, after filling my stomach, I pushed the boat into the already calm deep sea to investigate the strange things in the sea.
The sea was very calm, and I went straight into the deep sea, and I did not notice anything unusual until the sun set.
I found a nearby island to dock, filled my stomach and continued to the deep sea.
I don't know how long it took, but I searched everywhere I could go in the South China Sea, and I didn't start returning until I was warned by the Coast Guard near the sea border.
During this period, I was initially hungry and thirsty, and when I was thirsty, I drank and took a short rest.
When I ran out of food and water, I went into the water when I was hungry, and I chose any sea creatures to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
During this time, I had storms, but luckily they weren't too big.
When the sea is calm, the sea is most beautiful in the moonlight, like a sapphire hidden under a light veil, mysterious and beautiful.
Rows of thin waves rolled with broken silver, you squeezed me and rushed slowly from the distant water and sky, there was a seductive charm.
When the sea changes color and the waves are turbulent, all the beauty is gone.
The surface of the sea will change color in vain and turn black, and the huge waves like mountains will roar and roar like mountains and seas, and swoop into the isolated islands of the sea, stirring up waves that rush to the sky, and make a sound like the sky and the earth cracking.
There are always signs when a storm starts.
When I pass by an island in the sea, I always pay attention to the situation on the island.
Whenever a storm is coming, I will tow the boat to an island suitable for evacuation in advance.
Every time a storm hits, I hide on an isolated island, not only am I not afraid, but I can't help but feel a kind of enthusiasm that is at ease and wants to be generous and sad and draw my sword and dance.
When the emotions of freedom were generated, I knew that I was using a masochistic way to escape from reality.
I also know that there is no point in doing so.
But I just want to be alone, uninhibited, and carefree for a while.
As I began to return home, I grew worried, but lightly.
I often have to face the experience of escaping death in the sea, and the relaxation of living alone has made me determined to do everything I want in the future.
On my way back to the shallow bay, I met my grandfather.
He borrowed the corpse in Xiangxi with a lot of difficulty.
The corpse keeper he was looking for at first refused to borrow it.
The borrowing of the corpse cannot be forcible and robbed, and the consent of the owner must be used for his own use.
When he finally succeeded in borrowing the corpse in Xiangxi, he also began to search for the Chidan underground.
When everything was basically ready, he couldn't contact me, and he couldn't sense my location through the Gu worm.
There are only two situations in which he can't perceive my location through the Gu worm, one is that I am dead, and the other is that I have entered the deep sea.
He thought I must have gone into the depths.
But after he still couldn't sense my location through the Gu worm for a long time, he panicked.
So he came to the shallow bay as quickly as possible, and after confirming from the people in the shallow bay that I had not returned from the sea, he rented a small cruise ship as soon as possible and went into the deep sea to look for me.
In order to find me as soon as possible, he also sent all the paper figures he had on hand, but by this time, none of them had been returned, and they had probably been knocked down by the waves.
He has been looking for me at sea for more than three days.
As we met, his eyes suddenly turned red and his lips trembled, and he hurriedly commanded someone to approach me, and raised his voice to reprimand me angrily, without caring for my body, knowing the slightest fear of the sea, and not knowing how to cherish life.
I threw the oars with a big smile and walked to the bow of the boat and waited for my grandfather to pick me up.
My boat is in tatters and seeping water, and it can't hold up the shallow bay.
I'm as thin as a bolt of lightning, and my lips are chapped like a savage.
"The dead girl is still laughing! see if I will smoke you crying dad and calling mother!" After grandpa reprimanded me again, he couldn't help laughing when he saw my reaction, and quickly changed his face.
When I got on my grandfather's boat, the first thing I said was that I was hungry.
Grandpa immediately didn't care about it, and continued to teach me with a straight face, so he hurriedly went to find me something to eat and drink.
After bringing all the food and drink that was left on the ship, he hurriedly found another towel to wipe my wet hair, and took off his coat and draped it over me.
At this time, a warm liquid dripped on top of my head, and I immediately looked up to see that my grandfather had turned his back to me in a hurry.
