Dongxiang Ancient Village (novella love story) Zhang Baotong

Everyone came to the house one after another, and the house was already full of people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There is an open space of about ten square meters in the middle of the info house, which is illuminated by a headlight. There are seven or eight benches on each side of the open space, and twenty or thirty elder brothers and sisters are seated. They will be the protagonists of tonight's singing and sitting sisters.

The brothers were dressed in clean and neat black cloth clothes, some were playing bamboo flutes and reed sheng, some were playing the pipa and the short piano, and some were clapping their hands and singing.

The most dazzling thing is the sisters in the village. They wore red clothes with black trims, plackets and cuffs, wide knurled lace, embroidered with golden rooster flowers and Dong brocade, and their hats were covered with silverware. They wore earrings, bracelets, necklaces, collars, and silver belts, and their whole bodies were glittering with silver and gorgeous.

After a burst of singing, dancing and instrumental music, the brothers and sisters all sat down on the bench in the front row, and when they saw Wen Li and them coming, they gave up their seats for them to sit. And Brother Xu sat in the middle of Brother opposite. He wears a black suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie. The brothers around him were wearing black clothes and red-edged cardigans, big pants, and long headscarves. This outfit is in stark contrast to the costumes of the sisters in the village.

At the beginning of the song, the sisters sang a pair of songs: "I only see vines entangled in the mountains, where in the world do I see trees entangled with vines, if the green vines do not entangle the trees, it will be in vain for a spring and a spring." After singing the song, the sisters screamed, watching how the brothers answered.

The elder brother seemed to be prepared, and then sang, "The elder sister on the other side came over, came over, and saw if your elder brother was handsome, handsome or not." The sister on the other side walked over, walked over, you understand Brother's thoughts, you understand. Before the brothers finished singing, the whistles and roars rang out.

Waiting for the boos of the elder brothers to sound, the elder sisters clapped their hands and sang, "Tonight, the sky is bent and the moon is bent, and the singing sisters are sitting for another year, and the mandarin ducks and birds are in pairs, why haven't you seen the elder brother coming?" It is so difficult for me to ask my sister, it is like picking the moon for nine days. ”

The sisters flirted with their brothers, singing in a teasing tone, "There is no road to open a road in the mountains, and there is no road to build a bridge in the water." Brother, you were born with good songs, why do you have to wander around on stilts. Are you afraid of being bitten by your sister's yellow dog, or do you think your sister's house doesn't have a brazier? If you have a heart, you will wait for you to speak, and if you don't have a heart, you will turn around. ”

As if they got some kind of hint, the brothers stood up from the bench together and danced excitedly, "I don't know how deep and shallow I want to cross the river, and I'm afraid that my sister will be suspicious if I want to light a cigarette." Since Ah Mei is sincere, don't blame Ah Ge for being sincere. Singing and singing, the brothers screamed and roared as they rushed towards the younger sister. The sisters hurriedly sat on the bench, holding hands and leaning tightly together, for fear of letting the brothers break up. However, a few bold elder brothers took the opportunity to sit in Ah Mei's arms.

Because the original intention of Brother Xing to sit on Sister is to sit in Sister A's arms and fall in love. Therefore, the sisters didn't care about this, but just smiled and pushed the elder brother away from his arms. There were also a few elder brothers who were flashed by the elder sisters, and the younger sisters and the onlookers clapped and laughed. The brothers were pushed away or flashed by the sisters, and refused to give up, so they sat in the middle of the sisters, so as to show their love to their favorite mistresses. But the sisters squeezed the brothers sitting next to them together. The brothers saw that the sisters were united against them. They also began to squeeze in unison among them. In this way, the sisters can't squeeze them, so they dodge together. When the brothers saw that their beloved sisters had left the bench and stood aside and laughed at them, they had no choice but to laugh at themselves and return to the bench where they were sitting, and continued to blow the reeds, play the lute, and sing to the sisters.

At this time, Yuhua signaled to Brother Xu, and Brother Xu looked at her, but she didn't seem to understand the meaning. So, Yuhua and Yuxiu ran over and pulled Brother Xu in front of Wen Li. Wen Li lowered her eyebrows and glanced at him shyly. Brother Xu was still a little overwhelmed. Yuhua was in a hurry, so she said, "Come on!" Brother Xu hesitated, then took advantage of Wen Li's lack of attention and sat in Wen Li's arms. And to his surprise, Wen Li didn't dodge. When the sisters next to them saw this, they screamed and applauded excitedly. The brothers also gathered around, cheering and roaring merrily.

Wen Li's face was blushing, but her heart was about to jump out of her excitement and nervousness. She paradoxically pushed Brother Xu, who was sitting in her arms, but did not push. Brother Xu turned around, smiled at her, and then held her face and kissed her on the lips for a long time. At this time, all the brothers grabbed their beloved sisters, and danced a cheerful and ancient song and dance hand in hand with everyone, "There is a heart to plant flowers and flowers to bloom, and there is a heart to cut willows and willows." The roots of bamboo shoots are roots, and now there is a sweetheart. ”

After the song was over, Yuhua and her sisters sent Wen Li back home. When Wen Li returned home, she saw that the house was cleaned up and the lights seemed to be much brighter. When she saw that the doors of her grandmother and grandmother's house were closed, she quietly went up to the embroidery building alone, sat under the lamp, and wondered worriedly what her grandmother and grandmother would do to her.

Under the window of the hanging corner tower, a string of firecrackers sounded, followed by the cheerful blowing of mouth flutes, bamboo flutes and reed sheng, and then the brothers sang romantic and ancient courtship songs with their throats pulled. After a while, the singing stopped, and I heard the brothers shouting in unison under the window, "Sister Wenli, Sister Wenli-"

Wen Li was moved by this voice, so she got up from the table, walked to the window, opened the window and looked down, and saw that the window was crowded with brothers and sisters and villagers watching the excitement. Brother Xu saw Wen Li open the window and stretched out her head, so he stretched out his arms to her and shouted, "Sister Wen Li, I love you, I love you, I will always love you!" Hearing this, Wen Li couldn't help but burst into tears, she felt that this was the most beautiful word she had ever heard.

Then, there was another burst of firecrackers and gongs and drums, and I saw the door of Wen Li's house open, and Abba shouted, "Please come in with Brother Xu from Guilin." Brother Xu entered the hall, and the faint electric light hung above a small dining table. At the table sat Wen Li's grandmother, grandma and abba.

Brother Xu bowed respectfully to the elders present, and held a gift to Wen Li's grandmother. Grandma put the gift on the table, motioned for Brother Xu to sit down, and then said to him in a polite and serious tone, "My Ali is the smartest sister in the four villages of Dong Township, and the only sister in our family. According to the customs of our Dong people, the sister in the village is not open to the public. However, my Ali is in love with you, so we can't help it, so it's up to her temperament. But we have one condition, and you must abide by it: our Ali will not get married, but will ask you to come to live in our house. ”

For this reason, my grandmother said in an accentuated tone, "You have to think about it, if you can do it, I will let Ali marry you; no, I will tell Ali to others, there are many families in the four villages of Dong Township who have taken a fancy to my Ali, and there are people who come to the door every day to propose marriage." ”

Xu Yalong has been a tour guide for many years, although he knows the form and marriage customs of the matriarchal society of the Dong family, but when he really faces this marriage situation, he clearly feels the seriousness of this matter, but he has not considered this problem in advance, in fact, he does not care who marries whom, who goes to whose door, but considering that he works in Guilin, it is impossible to run from Guilin to live and live in this countryside every day. However, he also knew that they were not discussing and bargaining with him, but asking him to take a stand. If he doesn't agree, he can only pass by with his beloved, and heaven and earth are separated. Moreover, he also thought that he could settle down here and Guilin, work in Guilin for a few days, and then return to this ancient village in Dong Township for a day or two, just like a weekend vacation. In the same way, he could also bring Wen Li to Guilin to live. Thinking of this, he said in a very solemn tone, "I am willing to obey your arrangement. ”

But the grandma said, "There is another one, you can't wait to have a child, get married, fall in love with another woman, and dump my Ali." Xu Yalong said, "Grandma, don't worry, I want Wen Li to live happily for the rest of her life." ”

Grandma and Grandma were very satisfied and very happy, so they picked up a glass of wine and gave it to Brother Xu. Brother Xu took the wine glass and drank it down. Then my grandmother said to Abba, "Bring the ladder here." When Abba saw this, he immediately responded, moved the ladder over, set it up in front of the window of the hanging corner tower, and then said to Brother Xu, "Go up, Ali is waiting for you on it." ”

Brother Xu happily raised his hand to the people in the hall, and then climbed the ladder in three steps and two steps, and went up to the window of the hanging corner tower.

Brother Xu entered the house and saw Wen Li sitting on the edge of the bed, so he shouted, "My little sister." Wen Li immediately got up, wiped her tears, and called out, "Brother Xu", and greeted him and hugged him tightly.
