The forty-ninth (below) wind and rain bridge, the sheng song flows, the drum tower sings under the moon, and the big song flies

"Shaxi County is the largest Miao and Dong settlement in the empire, and the wind and rain bridge and stilted buildings are the most unique national characteristic buildings...... Shi Nianyuan explained to the flowing wind and snow, and he has arrived at the wind and rain bridge.

The young men and girls of the Miao family were frolicking with Lao Zhang's old dog "Long Hair", and were taking "Long Hair" to the river to drink water.

Lao Zhang rarely took the initiative to speak up to Shi Nianyuan: "Although they all live in the mountains, they are also different, unlike the young people in our Udon Village who want to go out of the mountains, they are the oldest black seedlings, and they are content with their homeland, but every year, some young people will be arranged to go outside to take a look, and the letters to them are sent by those people who are wandering outside." ”

Zhang Ga was curiously looking at the clothes and musical instruments of the Miao family. One of the young men, who was obviously much more formal, approached and said to Lao Zhang with a smile in Ming Lei Emperor's Chinese with a strange accent: "I finally looked forward to you." ”

Lao Zhang wiped his sweat, put the bag on his back on the ground to rest, and said with a smile: "It's here." ”

Seeing Zhang Ga wanting to speak a few times and stopping, this pair of father and son who have a not very harmonious relationship, I don't know if blood is thicker than water after all, Lao Zhang seems to see what Zhang Ga is thinking.

This group of black seedling friends naturally won't come here every time to wait for them, let alone such an obvious formal greeting today, looking at the young man dressed up, Lao Zhang's face climbed up with a trace of question: "What are you ......doing today?"

The young man glanced down at the costume, his eyes squinted and smiled happily: "Since the day before yesterday, for seven consecutive days, it is the thirteenth annual drum and Tibetan festival of our Miao family, the elder said, you are a friend of our Miao family, and you are a benefactor who helps us contact foreigners, so you must choose the day you come to start the ceremony! We have waited for two days, and today can be regarded as waiting for you! Let's go!"

The young man said, carried the bag on the ground on his shoulder, and wanted to help Lao Zhang carry it to the village.

Lao Zhang was in a hurry, and even spoke a lot louder: "Don't! put it down!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at Lao Zhang and blinked, quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a lot of strength, and besides, just these few steps, I will definitely not lose or break it." ”

Lao Zhang smiled, and took the parcel and carried it on his shoulder without question: "No, I must carry it myself to feel at ease." ”

The young man laughed a few times, and was no longer entangled, shouted in Miao language, and then sang a song, a group of Miao people of old and young lined up in two columns on the wind and rain bridge, and the reed sheng played a cheerful music, and the unblown sheng sang ancient songs.

The young man turned his head to look at Lao Zhang, and laughed happily: "Welcome our benefactor, please ...... benefactor" The young man paused when he said this, looked at Shi Nianyuan and Liu Fengxue, who had been standing quietly next to him, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Ga, who was full of curiosity. This postal road, but Lao Zhang has always been running alone, however, the hospitable personality made the young man not think too much, Lao Zhang did not take the initiative to talk about it, did not ask more, continued: "Go to our village to participate in the Drum Tibetan Festival!"

The mountain road winds upward, and the Miao family, who loves singing and dancing, never let the sheng song stop, and sang all the way. Feeling this enthusiasm, even the old dog "Long Hair" ran a lot happily, barking from time to time to echo.

The "few steps" in the mouth of the young man walked for an hour and a half.

It wasn't until twilight that Shi Nianyuan saw the Miao villages with colorful lanterns and bonfires from afar.

The Miao people sang all the way, but did not have the meaning of stopping the drum, but because of the excitement of returning to the village, the song became more and more full of energy, I think it was the song that conveyed the meaning, the lively village was suddenly quiet, and then there was an earth-shattering cheer, a bluestone road stretched out from the gate of the village, and the people of the village came out, waving and shouting to this side, and gradually sang under the leadership of someone.

Seeing this lively scene, Shi Nianyuan was stunned, recalled the Water Moon Cave Heavenly Pupil Fox Demon Clan's Lonely Heaven Sacrifice, and stroked the blood pact soul seal vermilion mark that had no longer disappeared.

Since Shi Nianyuan didn't hide it, after seeing it, Liufeng Xue asked softly, "Do you want Ruohu?"

Shi Nianyuan nodded with a smile and pointed

Pointing to the head: "The head is light, and I always feel that there is something short. ”

Liu Fengxue smiled "poof", his words could not hide his jealousy, but he was not disgusted: "Think about me more!" Xing Xing's eyes rolled, and he continued in a deep voice: "We are going to Xuanyang, and I don't know when we will see each other again." ”

Shi Nianyuan smiled and said, "When she recovers from her injuries, it is estimated that she will follow it." ”

Liu Fengxue was stunned, turned his head and snorted, but quickly turned his head back and said arrogantly: "Who is afraid of whom?"

Shi Nianyuan tilted his head and didn't speak, Danfeng's eyes blinked twice.

"Guests from afar, you have come at the right time!" The young man who walked in front turned around, looked at Shi Nianyuan and the flowing wind and snow, and stretched out his hand to point to the village: "Guzang, it is the grandest festival of our Miao family, and it only happens once in thirteen years!"

Shi Nianyuan smiled and nodded in response: "I have learned a little, the Miao people worship butterfly totems. Shi Nianyuan looked at the continuous maple forest in the village, and finally fell on the highest maple tree in the center of the village, and continued leisurely: "Therefore, the old legend is that the butterfly mother was bred from the maple tree, and the twelve heirs were born to bless the Miao people, in the Miao culture, twelve years is a reincarnation, and the twelve descendants of the butterfly mother are respectively kept for one year, so the saying of the zodiac is born, and after each round, a grand ceremony will be held, and the Miao people will use the maple tree to make a wooden drum to sacrifice and pray, and sing the god maple tree and the butterfly mother, that is, the drum is hidden. ”

The young man's eyes lit up, what Shi Nianyuan said was not all right, but seeing Shi Nianyuan dressed, it was obvious that he was a "person from outside the mountain" rather than a "person from the mountain", and it was not easy for people from outside the mountain to have such a deep understanding of Miao culture, nodding vigorously, his eyes were smiling, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

The Miao family is hospitable, and many bards, students, and swordsmen pass by the village, and they will warmly receive them, but those people are completely ignorant of Miao culture.

There were few words of flattery and flattery in the hearts of the mountain people, and the young man was very happy, but he did not express anything, and happily re-followed the singing and continued to sing happily.

Outside the gate, there are already Miao family holding torches for lighting, a group of Miao family Yingyan wearing a costume full of silver ornaments, holding a huge sea of wine and wine horns, the fragrance of rice wine is diffuse, the two children in the general horn took a green bamboo pole to block the village door, and sang the Miao song of welcoming guests and toasting, two or three sentences later, the Miao girl joined the chorus, and the rest of the people gradually echoed it, the female voice was high-pitched, the male voice was low, the Miao girl began to dance, the Miao family who can sing and dance, the enthusiasm in the chorus seems to be stronger than the aroma of wine.

The old and young people of the Miao family who walked with Shi Nianyuan walked left and right, merged into the large army and turned back, their faces simple and fresh.

Lao Zhang, who was carrying a bag and luggage, stood between Shi Nianyuan and the flowing blizzard, Shi Nianyuan smiled and pulled up the blizzard and took a step back, letting Lao Zhang out, Lao Zhang Han smiled and said: "This is the Miao family's barricade wine, the hospitable Miao family, never stingy with their own food and drink, this is the barricade wine, is the etiquette to welcome guests into the village." ”

Affected by the atmosphere, coupled with the light of the torches, Lao Zhang's face was a little red, he glanced at the sea of wine and horns held by the Miao girl outside the gate, turned his head to look at Shi Nianyuan and the flowing wind and snow, and smiled meaningfully: "The barricade wine must be drunk." After that, he looked at Zhang Ga on the side: "Didn't you steal wine with your mother behind my back on weekdays? ”

Zhang Ga was stunned, glared at Lao Zhang, and then turned his head embarrassed.

Lao Zhang unconcernedly pulled the parcel upwards and approached the gate. A pair of children holding the green bamboo on the left and the right sang a toast song with a young voice, tacitly pushing the green bamboo forward and gently pushing it on Lao Zhang.

The group of Miao girls came towards Lao Zhangwei, and in the sea of wine with a big mouth in their hands, the slightly viscous rice wine shook and shone brightly, reflecting the firelight. The girls around the girls tacitly stood in two rows on the left and right, three people in each row, and stood down half-squatting in the middle, standing on both sides of the side to keep standing straight, the sea of wine in their hands was connected to the mouth, one connected to the other, and the wine trickled into the horns in the hands of the head toasting girl in the center, and the toasting girl sent the horns to the old mouth standing on the next bluestone slab, old

Zhang Wei bowed slightly and got up to meet the position of the horns, and drank several large sips happily.

In this way, a lot of alcohol naturally leaked out of the horns and mouth, but no one cared.

Shi Nianyuan looked at this scene with a smile, and explained to the flowing wind and snow: "The mountains and flowing water, the toasting method full of the sincerity of the Miao people, Lao Zhang's shyness just now actually wanted to see us embarrassed. Shi Nianyuan smiled as he stretched out his hand and pointed forward and continued: " In fact, according to the etiquette of the Miao people, when toasting with mountains and flowing water, as long as the hand touches the horn, and even subconsciously picks up the green bamboo pushed by the two children, it can't let you go, and the wine in the horn can't be left. ”

Liu Fengxue looked at the six seas of wine that were bigger than his own face and continued to trickle the wine into the horns, his small mouth opened slightly, he was surprised, and muttered in a daze: "So many...... Can you drink it...... Won't you just get drunk and fall down......"

Shi Nianyuan laughed and said: "The degree of rice wine is not high, and the taste is sweet, the hollowed out horn wine is large and small, in fact, it is less than a catty, counting the high mountains and flowing water, which is constantly pouring wine, touching the horns, a catty must be indispensable, and it will not be drunk at that time, rice wine, it is powerful in the stamina......"

Shi Nianyuan was still talking, Lao Zhang had already stopped with a red face, and as the toasting girl continued to toast, the simple man who was a rare strong man didn't care about the rice wine that was spilled on his clothes or spilled on the ground. While saying thanks, he burped comfortably, and walked into the gate of the village when the two children in the general corner opened the green bamboo, and looked back at Shi Nianyuan, Liufeng Xue and his cubs with a smile.

Shi Nianyuan was still talking and laughing with Liufeng Xue, and the two Miao girls had already greeted him, one pulled up Shi Nianyuan, and the other picked up Liufeng Xue and walked towards the front gate. Feeling the enthusiasm of the Miao family, glancing at Lao Zhang's ill-intentioned eyes and the appearance of the toasting girls brewing treacherous schemes, Shi Nianyuan smiled, and when the toasting girl led by him handed the horns in, he directly reached out and took it.

At the moment when Shi Nianyuan's hand touched the horns, the Miao family members cheered with joy.

Lao Zhang put his bag at his feet, and clasped his hands to watch the show.

Liu Fengxue tilted his head, his apricot eyes blinked, watching Shi Nianyuan gulp down the rice wine, thinking in his heart, he missed a cripple today.

The sweet rice wine is not spicy, the Miao people's wine-making technique is retro if it sounds good, and rough when it is bad, it is easy to be dyed with paste during distillation, and the koji used for fermentation is precipitated, and there are many glutinous rice that I don't know whether it is intentionally or unintentionally dropped into the wine.

All in all, for Young Master Shi, this rice wine is really inferior. However, Shi Nianyuan only felt that the rice wine was sweet, the atmosphere was just right, and the singing was delicious enough.

The toasting girl led by Shi Nianyuan was about to explain to Shi Nianyuan that when she touched the horns, she had to drink the rice wine in the horns, but Shi Nianyuan had already consciously raised her head, and while raising the horns, she intentionally or unintentionally let the long mouths of the two sea mouths on the left and right slide away and no longer pour in.

Drinking all the rice wine in one go, it didn't leak out of the corners of their mouths, the Miao girls who toasted cheered, and the Miao people who were watching also applauded, Shi Nianyuan smiled and looked at the two children in the general corner, one of the boys said something, and happily put Shi Nianyuan into the gate.

Lao Zhang was born in the army and was a pawn, and when he saw Shi Nianyuan's courage to drink, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and praise it, and then explained: "That kid said thank you." ”

Shi Nianyuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

"The Miao family is really very hospitable, if you drink their wine and eat their meat, they will not only not feel distressed, but will be happy, the more you eat and drink, the happier they will be. Lao Zhang explained.

Shi Nianyuan's Danfeng eyes blinked, and he muttered leisurely: "It's so good......"
