Three days later, Shi Xiaofeng and Fei'er's engagement ceremony took place in the ancestral hall of Xinyue Village.

What is shocking is that before the engagement ceremony, the ceremony of "summoning the spirits" of more than 100 war dead was actually carried out.

Watching the wizard jumping on stage, Shi Xiaofeng couldn't cry or laugh, putting engagement and "conjuring" together, what is this exquisite?

Fei'er whispered to him that the village dilutes everyone's sadness by holding happy events, which is equivalent to the "joy" of the Han people.

Shi Xiaofeng was originally a sloppy and casual person, so he laughed it off. But there is one thing that cannot be left unasked: "I heard that there are many rules and exquisiteness in the weddings of ethnic minorities, and there are many tricks to make things difficult for the groom. It can't be the same, right?"

Fei'er smiled: "It's like that when you officially get married, the engagement ceremony is much simpler." By the way, Brother Shi, what are the wedding customs in your hometown, will it make things difficult for the bride?"

Shi Xiaofeng smiled: "We are used to teasing our father-in-law and daughter-in-law together. ”

Fei'er's eyes widened: "Father-in-law and daughter-in-law, what's going on?"

Shi Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, leave him alone...... Anyway, when you turn 16 years old, we will get married in Crescent Village, according to the customs of the Didan. ”

Fei'er's eyes showed a glint of joy: "Really, won't Brother Shi coax me?"

Shi Xiaofeng gently pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Silly girl, don't coax you!"

The "conjuring" ceremony was over, and Fei'er hurriedly pulled Shi Xiaofeng onto the high platform.

There was an old rosewood chair on the stage, and there were two futons on the ground opposite the chair, Fei'er sat cross-legged on the futon on the right, and motioned for Shi Xiaofeng to sit on the left.

Soon, Daddy Gonza walked up to the stage with a thick parchment pamphlet and sat down in the big chair. Fei'er whispered that this booklet was the most important scripture in Crescent Village, recording the records used by the ancestors of the Didans to regulate the words and deeds of the clansmen.

Father Gonza turned the first page and read it in a frustrated voice. Shi Xiaofeng thought to himself: "Obediently, how long does it take to finish reading this thick booklet?" Fortunately, we were allowed to sit on the futon, not on our knees.

About the time of the meal, Daddy Gonza read more than ten pages, closed the booklet, and stood up. Shi Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, Fei'er quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Sit down, it's not over yet!" Shi Xiaofeng was startled and quickly sat down again.

I saw Aunt Mei Duo come up to the stage, take the pamphlet from Father Gonza's hand, sit down in the big chair, and continue to read. Shi Xiaofeng thought to himself, could the five elders have to speak? Looking at Fei'er, Fei'er blinked his eyes and smiled slightly.

The pamphlet is written in an ancient dialect, and although Shi Xiaofeng is already familiar with Didan, it is difficult for him to understand what is being said. But Aunt Mei Duo read for more than an hour before it was over, Shi Xiaofeng calculated that she had read more than 20 pages, and said in her heart: Just Nima has a lot to say!

Aunt Mei Duo finally stepped down, this time Shi Xiaofeng sat still obediently, and sure enough, another elder came to the stage to continue reading. The elder was not a hundred years old but also ninety, and he walked tremblingly, and there were people around him to take care of him when he recited. He had read less than a cup of tea before he ran out of energy and replaced the next one.

Shi Xiaofeng secretly applauded, hoping that the next elder would be older. Unexpectedly, the elder who came to the stage next was the youngest of the five, and it seemed that he would not get tired after reading for a day and a night.

finally stayed up until all the five elders finished reading, and the last person to come to the stage was Fei'er's mother. Fei'er saw Shi Xiaofeng sitting still with his eyes staring, and whispered: "Brother Shi, I'm going to kowtow to my mother!"

Shi Xiaofeng was startled, and woke up from his dream, he actually fell asleep just now. Fortunately, he had already developed the ability to sleep with his eyes open, otherwise it would be rude to be caught dozing off while the elders were reading the scriptures.

Shi Xiaofeng and Fei'er got up and kowtowed to Wu Musan on the futon. Mother Wu poured two bowls of drunken fruit wine, watched the two drink it all in one gulp, and the engagement ceremony was completed.

Shi Xiaofeng thought to himself that this engagement ceremony was really not cumbersome, but it took too long.

Hundreds of tables of banquets have already been set up in the ancestral hall, and people continue to toast after Shi Xiaofeng and Fei'er took their seats.

In the past few days, Shi Xiaofeng has fought bloody battles with everyone, and everyone treats him as a good brother. He knew that Fei'er didn't drink much, so he simply followed it all by himself. Drink until the moon comes out, and the wine bowls around him are piled up into a hill.

After the dismissal, Uncle Najib carried the drunk Shi Xiaofeng to Fei'er's house. After getting engaged, the two can live together, but they can't have the same room yet.

A force flowed in Shi Xiaofeng's body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Fei'er, who was looking at himself with concern.

"Fei'er, was I drunk like a dead pig just now?"

"Hehe, Brother Shi, why are you talking about yourself so ugly. ”

"Fei'er, we are all engaged, and you still call me Brother Shi. ”

"Then, I'll call you eldest brother, and the women of the Didans clan call their husbands eldest brothers after marriage. ”

"Well, okay, big brother thinks... Want to ......"

"What does Big Brother think?"

Shi Xiaofeng saw that Fei'er was dressed in a costume, and his beauty was indescribable, he originally wanted to say, "Big brother wants to kiss you", but after all, he couldn't say it, and said with a smile: "Big brother suddenly forgot what he was thinking just now." ”

Fei'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Big brother is really funny. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Big brother, I will discuss one thing with you......"

Shi Xiaofeng saw that she looked serious, and said strangely: "What's the matter?"

Fei'er's eyes looked into the distance in the dark night, and said slowly: "Big brother, do you remember that I told you that women of the Di Dan clan cannot marry outside, unless the man is willing to stay in Crescent Moon Village for the rest of his life?"

Shi Xiaofeng said: "Of course I remember, I won't leave Crescent Village!"

Fei'er said slowly: "Not now, what about the future?" Big brother has his own relatives outside and a familiar living environment, if you have to leave everything before and stay in Crescent Village forever, you will be ... You'll ......."

Shi Xiaofeng sighed and said softly: "Fei'er, yes, I still have to go back outside to do some things...... When these things are done, I will definitely go back to Crescent Village!"

Fei'er Yingying smiled: "Big brother, I will not use the customs of the Didans to restrain you. Moreover, I will only turn 16 years old in two years, and in these two years, my eldest brother can do his own thing, and I will also fulfill the duties of the village chief, my people, my mother, they can't do without me. ”

Shi Xiaofeng felt relaxed for a while, and said: "Two years later, we will get married, and I will always be with you!"

Fei'er's eyes lit up, and his face was full of joy: "Really, my eldest brother has lived in this mountain nest all his life, isn't he depressed?"

Shi Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "Even if I want to go out, I will definitely take you with me!"

Fei'er smiled: "Okay, I also want to see the wonderful world that my eldest brother said!"

Shi Xiaofeng sighed again: "I'm only worried about one thing. ”

Fei'er asked, "What's the matter?"

Shi Xiaofeng said: "The reason why Crescent Moon Village is not known to outsiders is because it is extremely remote, and I also came here by chance. The same way, let me walk a second time, maybe I will get lost, and there is no modern means of communication here, I am afraid... I'm afraid that after I leave Crescent Village, I won't be able to find you again!"

Fei'er thought for a while, dragged out a box from under the bed, took out three small bamboo tubes, and said: "This is a firecracker made by the most ingenious craftsman in Crescent Village decades ago.

Shi Xiaofeng was overjoyed: "This is really a good thing! I can be sure that the nearest town to Xinyue Village is JW Town in Xiangxi, and the straight-line distance is no more than 100 miles, if I light this firecracker in JW Town, Xinyue Village will definitely be able to see it!"

Fei'er nodded: "I only have these three left, big brother take them all." ”

Shi Xiaofeng took it and carefully collected it.
