Chapter 249: The Beautiful Wedding Dress (3/3)
Qinglong Mountain is the most famous mountain in the local area.
Not only is it picturesque, but there are also various mountain springs and waterfalls, and hot springs. In addition, there are national second-class protected animals such as golden snub-nosed monkeys and baby fish.
There are countless other small animals, in addition to the most common pheasants and hares, among which there are many swimming fish, turtles and turtles, so in the past, Sanjiazhai relied on the Qinglong Mountain, and life was also delicious, even in the most cruel era, there was still no one starving to death;
It is said that before the liberation, Qinglong Mountain is the old nest of bandits, these bandits do evil, loot everywhere, officers and soldiers can spend every time they clear and suppress, because there are many karst caves in Qinglong Mountain, as long as the officers and soldiers who are not familiar with the terrain enter the cave, they will lose their troops and generals, and over time, the bandits in Qinglong Mountain are getting stronger and stronger, and they are not afraid of the attack of officers and soldiers at all;
It was not until after liberation that the army marched to the southwest, and it was learned that bandits were rampant in Qinglong Mountain, and a battalion was sent to attack it, but it still failed because of the complex terrain of Qinglong Mountain;
In the end, the military had to adopt the method of siege, transferred a regiment, an army of more than 1,000 people, and besieged the bandits for a year, and finally the bandits were eaten up because of lack of food and clothing, and the animals in the mountains were eaten up, plus the government promised to kill only the bandit leaders, in order to survive, most of the bandits had to go down the mountain and surrender, and the rest could no longer afford to turn over any wind and waves, and were eliminated one after another in the second year;
"It is said that there are still bandit relics in Qinglong Mountain, right?" the monkey asked Zhang Feng curiously;
"How do I know, I haven't been in again, just go to Ah Sheng and ask if you know, they must have been in. Ah Sheng is a young man of the Miao nationality who the two just met, and at this time he was sitting not far from Zhang Feng and the monkey to rest;
"Ah Sheng, come here and sit ......," Zhang Feng shouted to Ah Sheng;
"What's the matter, you must go to my house tonight to sit ......" Ah Sheng warmly invited the two;
"You're welcome, we have something to do at night, we have to rush back in a while, and we have time to play with me at Moon Lake!" Zhang Feng smiled and declined.
"That's good, I will have time to be a guest in the village in the future, and I will be your guide!" Ah Sheng has a bold personality and doesn't care.
………
"By the way, Ah Sheng, it is said that there were bandits in Qinglong Mountain in the past, is it true?" After chatting for a while, the monkey finally asked Ah Sheng curiously.
"Hehe, of course, listen to my grandfather, there were people in our village who went into the mountains to join the gang before, but that was fifty or sixty years ago, where are there any bandits now............" Ah Sheng proudly boasted to Zhang Feng and the others about the secrets of the bandits in Qinglong Mountain;
"Are there any traces of bandits' lives in it now? It is said that the bandits live in caves, like labyrinths?" asked the monkey with a curious expression.
"Yes, the bandits usually live in the cave, we went into the cave when we were young, but the hole is too deep, we are afraid of getting lost, only a small part of the exploration came out, there are indeed some earthen stoves, broken bowls or something......
"Ah, haven't you found the bandits' treasure or something??"
"Hahaha, we thought the same way when we were kids, but unfortunately there was nothing in it except for some broken bricks and tiles......"
…………
"Ouch! The bride's dowry is here, Xiaofeng and Monkey, let's go and help. The three of them were chatting about the bandits, and Ah Sheng suddenly saw a small truck full of furniture, and then stood up and said to Zhang Feng and the others.
"No problem, let's go!" Zhang Feng and the others also hurriedly went up to help move the dowry.
Zhang Feng took a look, the dowry prepared by the woman is mainly furniture, wardrobes, tables and chairs, as well as refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances, in addition, the other party also prepared a motorcycle for his daughter and aunt, such a dowry should be relatively generous in the local area, from these things it can be seen that the parents love their daughter;
Although these dowries may be a little shabby for the local tyrants in the big city, but for the woman's family, these dowries are full of love, especially those wooden furniture, which are said to be made by the bride's father, planing and assembling wooden planks, and carving various festive patterns with their own hands, and finally forming the same exquisite furniture, which not only uses the best wood, but also pours a strong paternal affection;
The mother of the bride Miao Yan prepared a beautiful wedding dress for her daughter, and almost every Miao family married a daughter, and the bride's clothes were made by their mothers.
In order to make the best clothes for her daughter, Miao Yan's mother prepared for this for 18 years, when Miao Yan was three or four years old, she began to design, ready to choose a variety of beautiful and auspicious patterns, and then carved and embroidered with stitches and threads, embroidering gorgeous colors on a piece of square and elegant homespun cloth;
The costumes of the Miao people have always been known for their variety, and the patterns that need to be embroidered on them are hundreds of large and small, up to the patterns on the neck, down to the lace of the skirt, and the hat on the head is also the focus;
One of the best is the upper half of the clothes of the dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, the two resonate, not only beautiful but also have a special meaning, the lower half is a few pomegranate patterns, indicating many sons and blessings, surrounded by other flowers and grass patterns, not monotonous at all.
Miao costume production process is cumbersome, it takes a long time, each piece has a special meaning, of course, people with conditions, may make one for their relatives on special festivals, but among them, the wedding dress at the time of marriage is the most special and precious, the most attentive;
Of course, the Miao wedding dress is not complete with beautiful patterns, because it is necessary to add the delicate silver jewelry made by the father, so that it is perfect, looking at the bride's silver glittering, beautiful and amazing, tourists also feel that the most beautiful scenery in the world is nothing more than this, they have picked up the camera to shoot, for fear of missing a trace of wonderful;
Seeing such a beautiful wedding dress, many people have the urge to buy one, in order to promote the development of tourism, there are such clothes for sale in the village, of course, the grade is lower, but the price is not low, each piece has to be one or two thousand, because it is all handmade, the time and energy spent is far from the ordinary clothes can be compared, two or three people cooperate, a piece of clothing also takes a month or two, in fact, the villagers can not earn much, sell one, it is equivalent to two or three thousand yuan per month;
…………
"Xiaohu, the monkey and I will go back first, and we will bring Miao Yan to my house to play when we have time!" Before leaving, Zhang Fenghe and the monkey said goodbye to their old classmates.
"You're leaving, I'm going to drink with you at night!" Wang Xiaohu said in surprise.
"Don't, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, I won't delay you today, and we will get together again when we have time in the future!"
"It's just that we're so close, and there will be opportunities in the future......"
Bidding farewell to the groom, Zhang Feng and the monkey drove towards the Moon Lake, and the monkey was ready to stay in the moon for this holiday to experience the beautiful landscape here.
