Chapter 81: The Festival of Singing

The month of silver and singing is the third month after the end of the thunder season, and it is also the traditional festival of the Seymour people, the singing festival. (Pinyin for biqi u)

At this time of year, the busiest hunting season of the year is coming to an end, when families decorate their homes with painted and flowered flowers, with strips of bacon and jerky hanging under the beams, and harvesters offering hot broth to their neighbors in front of their homes.

In the past tribal era, the long thunder season emptied the surplus grain in the storehouse, and the month or two after the thunder season was also the peak of the hunting season.

It is only at this time in the third month that people can be idle and do something that has nothing to do with survival.

Many tribes find a place to hold fairs and celebrations.

Cabaret, gladiatorial wrestling, magic tricks, every Seymour remembers the quirky Singing Festival market of their childhood, and will be looking forward to the next one for the next thirteen months.

And the bonfire celebration at the end of the month is the best time for young people to get to know half of their future, and at that time, praise the heroic epic, sing songs to celebrate the harvest, praise the beauty of love, these classic three theme songs, and the countless duets will echo over the home of the Seymour people.

Even in the middle of the night, there are still intermittent love songs and love poems, and if midnight returns to silence, it can only be that the celebration is over.

At this time, it is also the peak of tourism for outsiders, and there are many people and goods, as well as ontological festivals, which is indeed a good day to visit.

Outsiders intuitively compare it to their own New Year's celebrations, and the local residents do not correct it, and few outsiders ...... No, now even those Seymours don't know that in the original days, this festival was actually added as a day of weeping.

Why weep for our neighbors who didn't survive the thunder season, for our ancestors who fell on the Great Migration...... weeping. This season in the middle of the thunder season is actually a sad festival for funerals.

In the decades just after the Great Migration, every time this season, the streets and alleys were full of crying, and whoever cried was small, and people would point to their backs and say that they were not filial and unkind.

What? There are no dead people in your house, there are dead people in your neighbors, there are dead people in your people, there are dead people in your friends.

Even if you don't, your friends, your relatives, your neighbors' friends, relatives, and neighbors will always die, and everyone else is sad that you're not happy.

Crying and crying, you get used to it.

It is also a common practice to vent emotions and sacrifice ancestors.

After crying, touch your face, continue to live, and celebrate the New Year with a smile by the way.

This is not only to celebrate the arrival of the new year, but also to live another year.

Considering that the average lifespan of the Seymours is far below the natural lifespan, especially since the average lifespan of the wasteland tribes is less than 40, this is really a day to celebrate.

I don't know when it started, maybe it was because of the improvement of living conditions that Lei Ji would not become a caveman, maybe it was enough food and storage technology so that there were few people starving to death during Lei Ji, or maybe there were more and more families who didn't need to cry, and there were more and more celebratory ingredients in this season of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Most people will hurry up, play hard, and find the object desperately, because after this festival, it is time to prepare for the next thunder season.

There's no time to sigh, don't prepare half a year's worth of food and supplies before the lightning strikes, and wait for next year's singing festival to hold your funeral.

The cruel natural environment and living conditions made the Seymour people in the past unusually pessimistic about life and death.

But with the opening of the corner city, many things have changed, the most obvious is that Lei Ji no longer needs to hide in the lightning protection cave, he can only be bored to hit his wife and children.

Lei Ji was able to move freely, which directly doubled the activity time of the Seymour people in Horn City, and in the eyes of the Wasteland people, it was equivalent to doubling the life expectancy, and it is no wonder that before this, most of the tribe Seymour people were very envious of the life of Horn City.

In fact, if you calculate the time it takes to replenish food and supplies after the thunder season in order to stock up on food and supplies for the mine, it is possible to increase the free time three or four times after choosing to settle down in the city...... In a sense, this is equivalent to a multiplier of lifespan.

Even so, the festival is still the most important day of the year.

In the past, Kakuseong even held various ceremonies and celebrations on this day, and it was decided to celebrate the harvest or the victory festival to celebrate the victory of the war, depending on the situation of the year, and to celebrate the sunshine festival at the beginning of the thunder season.

Even though there are many festivals, the most important thing is still the singing festival of those days, just like the importance of the New Year to the human race.

But today's singing festival, the situation in the corner city is a little wrong.

In previous years, the various temporary markets were not held, because the City Watch would be ordered to disperse the crowd that had gathered, and the familiar singing and singing voices were much less but still there, but unlike the main theme of the love songs of the past, this year's songs were filled with a lot of sadness and mourning.

As in the past, the lord of the castle sent personnel in the major squares to deliver broths and festive pastries.

But unlike in the past, not many people went to collect it this time, and the children no longer chased the guards behind their backs to ask for candy, and even beggars could squint at the city officials who distributed the food with disdain, spit at the foam and walked away.

There are very few decorative ribbons under the roof beams, but there are many small white flowers in the square where the bloody clash took place last month.

In the past, there were only one-tenth of the traveling merchants who used to be busy, and it was not just that the atmosphere in Kabel was not right now, and the rumors of fear and disgust hindered the visitors.

More importantly, there are new options for traveling merchants, and New Tonia is the first choice for most traveling merchants, where hundreds of thousands of people are said to be buying tickets and gold.

Even those merchants who came to Horn City booked their next stop after exchanging information.

By this time, this year's customs duties and goods transaction tax were less than one-third of last year's, and this was the most important private treasury of the castle lord.

After all, no matter how powerful a city lord was, it was impossible for him to send an army to escort the merchants to trade.

However, the goddess of bad luck and the lucky lady have always been twins, and there is always a turn for the worse than the worst, and among the many bad news, there is still an exciting piece of good news.

"The envoys of New Tonia City and the Holy Mountain have arrived, and the tripartite peace agreement is about to be signed. ”
