Around August 10, Xu Weiguo led his troops to set off and arrived at Liangshan via the Meishan, Leshan, and Ya'an lines. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When they arrived in Liangshan, it was already August 15, and the Yi brothers and sisters on Liangshan were already preparing for the Torch Festival.

The military and civilian families, Xu Weiguo and Fang Qianjian, who passed through here, were dragged by Wang Nan into the countryside and went up the mountain to celebrate the festival.

When Xu Weiguo and Fang Qianqian went up the mountain, they found that Jia's families were preparing food and preparing for the festival.

Xu Weiguo was dragged up the mountain by Fang Qianjin and Wang Nan.

"You're too lifeless, and the signs aren't good. Let this festival of torches burn you too. ”

Xu Weiguo walked silently and stayed at the patriarch's house this night. The next day, at dawn, the sound of sharpening knives came from the courtyard.

Fang Qianjin squatted on the steps with great interest, watching them work.

The patriarch wore a black shirt with narrow sleeves and wide trousers with many pleats, a long headkerchief with a small lock in the middle of his head, a pincer knot tied on the right, and a pig with his sleeve pulled, and behind him, there was already a dead cow and a skinned sheep.

The patriarch's wife wrapped her head around her head, wore a long skirt, and was rushing to make buckwheat buns and tsampa noodles.

Seeing Xu Weiguo come out, the patriarch handed over the sharpened knife and patted the big fat pig that was tied up.

"Come, brother, I heard that you are quick, I beat a cow and slaughtered a sheep, and my arm is a little sore now. You will kill the pig. ”

Xu Weiguo silently took the knife and knifed along the neck of the pig, the pig's neck is an arterial blood vessel, cut off the blood vessels, and a large number of pigs screamed and broke the rope and ran up in the yard.

Xu Weiguo chased after him in two steps, the pig screamed and was dragged back again, and the patriarch came over with a basin and began to collect blood.

"You're slashing just right, better than the old pig killer. By the way, brother, today is the Duzai Festival, and we must meet the fire. During the day, everyone has to go home for a reunion dinner, drink home-brewed wine around the fire pond, and eat lump meat, is my son still obedient to you?

Where did he run away from this wild doll? When it's time to eat, he touches it and eats it ready-made?"

The patriarch's wife glanced at the patriarch, "How can you say this about your own baby, Xiao Nan just went to help the third uncle's family fight cattle." You told me when you left. He also came to pull the tail of the ox with you, and when he talked to you, you didn't hear clearly behind your ears.

Where did he go to hide? You dead old man, you don't have a good memory?"

The patriarch thought about it, as if there was such a thing, so he smiled dryly and did not speak, but picked up a sharp knife to pick up the bones and divide the meat.

After a while, Wang Nan took a girl into the door, and the patriarch's wife snickered and pulled the girl into the stove room.

Wang Nan looked at Xu Weiguo, who was killing pigs, and asked with a look of surprise: "Battalion commander, why did you kill pigs?"

Xu Weiguo glanced at him, "Your father said that you ran away, but I didn't take you with me, so he asked me to kill the pig." ”

Wang Nan smiled and squatted next to Xu Weiguo to give him a hand.

"Battalion commander, I will go to the village in the evening, and plant torches between the mountains and ridges. Are you going or not?"

Xu Weiguo shook his head.

Fang Qianqian jumped down and asked Wang Nan, "Why do you want to plant torches everywhere?"

"Light the fire, light the torches, and go out into the fields to pray for good weather and a good harvest for the coming year. It's very lively, instructor, are you going?"

Fang Qianjin was not fooled, "What's so lively, I heard that the back is the main show." Do it yourself. If you want to kidnap me to help you put in the torch, it's over early, and you'll just be playing shoulder to shoulder with that girl. Among the several company commanders, you are the most tired and slippery. First your dad said you were a lazy wild baby, and your mom was still short... Let me say, you are!"

Wang Nan picked his head, smiled and went to the stove room to make a fire.

At night, each village has put the dried pine wood and pine Mingzi into a big torch to erect in the village, and a small torch is erected in front of each house, which is lit at night, and the village is bright;

In the square in the middle of the stockade, men and women were already gathering, building many torches into a fire tower.

Hit the flint in the traditional way to light the holy fire, after the fire is recited by Bimo, every household, the old man of the family receives the torch made of artemisia rod from the fire pit, and let the children and grandchildren take the torch from the old man's hand, first shine all over every corner of the house, and then walk over the corner of the field, all over the mountains, look at it from afar, the fire dragon reflects the sky, winding and undulating, very moving.

On the second day, everyone dressed up in costumes, brought boiled Tuotuo meat and buckwheat buns, and gathered under the sacred fire of the altar to participate in this year's Torch Festival.

The first show to start was a beauty pageant.

Fang Qianqian looked at the men and women standing on the stage and asked Wang Nan: "What is your beauty pageant standard?" Why are these girls all with thick black hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, long necks, delicate and ruddy skin, well-proportioned figures, and not a single thin person?"

"Our beauty pageant here is to choose a kind, smart, beautiful and generous beauty like Nizhang Azhi. What you said are all the criteria for candidacy, instructor, do you see that women are very careful?

Will my sister-in-law be angry if she finds out?"

Fang Qianqian immediately glared at Wang Nan vigilantly, and clenched his pockets, "You kid, you learned from Xu Weiguo? What do you want to pit me again?" Let me tell you, you don't even think about it, when I came out this time, Aihong didn't pretend to give me money. ”

Wang Nan was a little disappointed, glanced at Xu Weiguo secretly, and asked Fang Qianqian in a low voice: "Does the battalion commander bring any money? If you bring money, you will find him to fight cocks, bulls and sheep in a while, and win some money to buy jewelry for Ah Hua." ”

"Then you'd better not mess with him. The battalion commander's daughter-in-law ran out to play, but she didn't come back until the day we went out. If you want to win his money, be careful that he will sprinkle all the evil fire on you, and slash you like a pig, and throw you into a lump of meat. ”

"Ah, why are you so unlucky. I knew that I wouldn't have invited you two to come up and eat and drink for nothing. I lost money. Wang Nan jumped his feet in pain.

Fang Qianqian glanced at him, "The beauty pageant is over, and your family has won the championship." What's next, are you going to go up and perform a monkey show?"

"I don't act. ”

"Then you're jumping now, I thought you're going to perform on stage. ”

"No, the highlight of the day is beauty pageants and singing. We specially invited a performance team from Qianjiang to come over and show their voices while performing the fire dragon dance.

Look, they're on stage. The handsome guy in the middle played a fire dragon, which was particularly slippery. Wang Nan pointed to a young man who had just come to the stage and began to wave a torch on the stage.

Fang Qianqian glanced at it casually, and his gaze was immediately stunned for a moment.

Why does the person standing on the stage look so much like Lin Xiaoman?

At the same time, Xu Weiguo also stood up, squeezed into the crowd, and approached the stage.
