Chapter 238: Deep Love

"Yes, I was in the martial arts team of the district squad at the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After the anti-sweeping battle, I heard from the local hunters that seven outsiders had entered the mountain. But I didn't see anyone who came out. The terrain here is very steep, not to mention the mountain behind the dumb mouth, it is the mountain in front of the pass, and now the road has been built. But because it is too dangerous, that is, it is called a ghost by the common people, eighteen plates, too dangerous. ā€

Everyone didn't feel tired talking along the way, and before they knew it, the car had approached Yangjiawan, the destination of this time. Far away in the middle of a flat dam in the mountains, a house made of huge stones and stone slabs looks gray and white from a distance, and gradually clings to the mountain, and is very characteristic to climb layer upon layer.

It is about 7-800 meters in depth and extends about 1 mile from left to right. At both ends, a large section of the wall is built with huge boulders from the valley cliff and halfway up the mountain, and then the building is built on it. The walled upstairs is densely covered with arrows. In the center of the cottage, a watchtower stands tall and very eye-catching.

The car just turned a mountain bay, and I don't know which hill suddenly banged! Da! Two firecrackers exploded, echoing in the mountains. Then the sound of ancient wooden drums echoed through the valley.

"Leaders, our company has learned of the arrangement of the county veteran cadres, in view of the fact that the cottage is an ethnic minority, in order to respect the national customs, our company has notified the village party secretary and the village committee in advance." Xiaoqu hastened to explain.

"Haha! No need to explain, we know your arrangement, and these old leaders know the rules here. Zhao interrupted the topic of Xiaoqu. happily said to everyone: "Leaders, get ready to meet your old comrades-in-arms!" ā€

While talking, the car slowly stopped at the door of the cottage. With the crackling sound of firecrackers, a group of little girls wearing traditional national costumes came to the front of the car carrying two large bamboo tubes tied with large flower balls tied with red cloth.

Eight girls in front of them stand in a horizontal row. In the middle two are holding horn bottles decorated with flower balls, and three girls on each side are on the left and right, each holding a silver platter with a bowl and a glass in their hands.

Behind the girl was a group of young men with reeds in their hands and cleavers on their backs.

Xiaoqu knew at a glance that the rule of the guests coming from the mountains was to ask the guests to drink the horse wine. Hurriedly control the car door and introduce: "Leaders, this is the custom of our local ethnic group, and when you arrive, you have to drink 'dismount wine' when you get off the bus." Now that the road has been built and the car has been opened, it has been renamed 'get off the car wine' in recent years. Then there is the door wine and the home wine.

It turned out that there were three cups each time, and there were nine cups in total. Now it's at least one cup at a time, for a total of three. If you can, you can drink it, and if you can't, you must not drink a drop of alcohol from now until you leave. ā€

Looking at the leaders in the car, they all looked at themselves with a smile, and thought about which one of the people in the car was not an old guerrilla who fought against Japan here in those years. How can you not know this "rule", and you are really a class axe. couldn't help blushing, hurriedly opened the car door, and got down to the car first.

At this time, the little girl who came to toast had already brought the first glass of wine, came to the door of the car, and began to sing a toast. The benefits of automatically finding seats when this group of people get on the bus are now being felt. Minister Xu took the lead, and the others followed one by one and stood in a row in turn, not chaotic at all.

Minister Xu smiled and came to the little girl with a silver plate in her hand to toast. The girl holding the horn wine barrel poured the wine bowl full of wine, and Minister Xu bent down to take it. Stand up straight, dip your right thumb, index finger and middle finger into the glass of wine, and spill the wine into the air with a flick of your finger. Dip it again, spilling the wine onto the ground. At the same time, he said loudly:

"Thousands of rivers must return to the sea, and geese flying thousands of miles must return home. Flesh-and-blood brother Wang Shuwen, I came to visit you today, are you welcome or not! ā€

Holding the horn cup in both hands against the door of the cottage and holding it high above his head, then he brought it to his mouth and drank it all up, and then raised the cup with both hands to his chest, and shone the empty cup to the ground, and there was no drop of wine left in the cup.

Minister Xu shone his glass here, and the sound of the wooden drums in the deep mountains immediately stopped. I only heard a hearty laugh from the cottage:

"The eagle spreads its wings and wants to fly high, and it has great ambitions. Although the cottage is small, the affection is heavy, and the mountain is high and the road is far away. ā€

A clear voice came from the cottage. With a low rumbling sound, the door of the heavy cottage made of whole logs slowly opened. The young men who came out to greet him played a cheerful welcome song, and the other little girls danced to the music.

And the others also drank the wine one by one according to Minister Xu's etiquette. The group followed the welcome team to the open cottage door. There is also a table in the gate with a lot of dishes. A group of middle-aged people in their thirties and forties who were hiding in the cottage suddenly gathered around, singing even higher, surrounded by singing and laughing.

In the song, a group of smiling girls came to Minister Xu and the others with a horn wine glass in their hands. Minister Xu took the horn cup first, and everyone else also took the glass and held it in their hands. A man in his 40s came to Minister Xu with a basket of rice, sorghum and variegated beans mixed with grains and sang:

"The sunbird sings that the cuckoo opens, and the relatives and brothers come into the village. Don't be too coarse tea and light rice, you plant osmanthus with affection and righteousness. ā€

The people in the cottage should sing in harmony: "Osmanthus flowers are in Guishiyan, and osmanthus flowers are waiting for nobles to come." The nobles came to plant the flowers, and the nobles came to the flowers to bloom. ā€

Minister Xu smiled slightly, held the wine glass in his left hand, twisted a little grain in the basket with his right hand and bounced it to the sky, and then twisted a pinch and sprinkled it to the ground to thank the ground, and then spoke: "The mountain breeze blows and the spirit is refreshing, and the wine is fragrant and affectionate." The four seasons are harmonious and the rain is smooth, and the five grains are abundant and the six animals are prosperous. After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, put down the horn cup, and clenched his fists in front of the cottage.

In the cottage, the moon qin, flutes, suona and bursts of drums sounded, echoing the reed sheng in front of the cottage. Mountain songs are bursting, dancing and swinging. Minister Xu and his entourage joined hands with the villagers in a singing voice, singing and dancing along the stone steps and entered the cottage together. Although Xiaoqu didn't drink, he was also intoxicated by the scene in front of him.

From the gate of the cottage to the watchtower, there is a stone step with a distance of about 200 meters. They are all made of bluestone about three feet long, six feet wide, and about five inches thick. Minister Xu and his entourage seemed to have forgotten that they were all over the age of sixties, and they were all excited, and they had come to the watchtower in a moment.

I saw that the gate of the watchtower was closed. A bronze drum with a diameter of more than one meter and a delicate pattern on it hangs in front of the watchtower. On the brass drum stand hangs a wooden mallet decorated with flower balls made of red cloth.

Minister Xu smiled slightly, stepped forward to pick up the mallet, and said:

"The silver hammer beats the golden drum, and the five grains will be on the next year." The bell struck the brass drum heavily, and then read: "The golden drum is loud, and the six animals are prosperous." Then the bell struck twice. Read again: "The five grains are abundant and the six animals are prosperous, and the four seasons are safe and the people are happy." After saying that, the bell struck the copper drum three times.
