At night, Tianjing Village is quiet and tranquil in the past, brightly lit and lively like a town.

The men, women and children of the village gathered early on the mountain in front of the village, everyone gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing, the roaring fire illuminated every simple and joyful smiling face, and the laughter and laughter stretched up and down in the empty mountain field, echoing in the ears for a long time.

At this time, two black silhouettes appeared in the mountains. I saw that Zigao quickly climbed up the hill, and leaned over to pull another one up.

"Hey, I'm tired!" The young man who was pulled up let out a long sigh, and the hat on his head was buttoned crookedly to one side, revealing only half of his small face.

Looking at it by the moonlight, this young man is really handsome!

The delicate face is as smooth as jade, and the eyes exposed to the outside are large and round, dark and bright, and the inside seems to be shining brightly.

He straightened his hat and frowned and complained, "It's too hard to walk!" ”

"I told you a long time ago that this mountain road is very rough, and it is best to come up before dark." The man in Tsing Yi beside him smiled warmly, "I don't know who is clamoring to go to Baoqing Building to eat honey-stuffed quails, and he won't wait for a moment." ”

"That guy was really hungry at the time!" The young man pursed his lips weakly, but he was not convinced, "Besides, don't you think it's delicious?" When you are full, you have the strength to climb the mountain! ”

"Yes, yes, you have a point." The man in Tsing Yi smiled helplessly, but there was a doting in his smile. "Can you still go? Would you like to take a break? ”

"Don't!" Looking at the men and women singing and dancing around the bonfire not far ahead, the young man's eyes lit up and said, "Let's go, Feng...... Master! Let's also 'grab the bride'! ”

Not long after, there were two more young people with clear eyebrows in the crowd singing and dancing.

The young man did not see clearly until this moment: it turned out that everyone was holding hands and consciously forming two circles around the fire. The outer circle where they are now is composed of some local married men and women, middle-aged and elderly people and children, and the inner circle is much smaller, all of them are young girls ranging in age from thirteen to fourteen to seventeen or eighteen, they are wearing bright clothes, and each of them has a wreath composed of various flowers around their necks, which is very festive and beautiful. And in their circle, there were seven or eight burly young men!

I saw them bare-chested one by one, revealing their strong chests, dancing rough and heroic dance with the vigorous singing and sonorous drumbeat of the villagers.

The young man followed the crowd as he kicked his legs, and at the same time tilted his head and looked in, but his eyes were straight. He swallowed, his big eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, "Young Master, what are they dancing for?" ”

"It's a hunting dance created by the local villagers. They are now imitating hunters and beasts, fighting wits and courage, and arguing each other—" said the man in Tsing Yi, glancing thoughtfully at the young man, "Is it pretty?" ”

"Hmmm! Pretty! The young man's eyes looked straight ahead, and he had to pay attention to the rhythm of his feet, not paying attention to the meaningful eyes of his companions, and only nodded with a look of adoration, "They look so burly, they are so powerful!" ”

The man's expression sank, and he only looked at him strangely for a long time before he lowered his head and whispered in the young man's ear.

At this time, the drums were getting more and more urgent, and the men on the field were constantly changing their formations and footwork, and from time to time they were shouting "hey-hey-", and the young man was dazzled, and he didn't hear what the other party said to him for a while, so he only raised his head blankly and asked loudly, "What did you just say you wanted to show me when you went home?!" ”

His voice was so loud that it attracted the sideways glances of several people around him, and several men and women of the same age cast surprised glances at them.

The man's fair cheeks suddenly burned...... He cleared his throat in embarrassment, "You're listening, I mean let you take a closer look...... When the dance is over, the girls in front of them will lay wreaths. ”

"Really?" The boy pursed his lips in confusion, and then said excitedly, "Are they going to give the garland to the strongest and best-looking young man?" ”

“…… Well...... It should be. Or maybe they have a favorite teenager on weekdays, and they can also give it away. ”

The young man smacked his lips and commented with great interest, "If you want me to say, the strong man on the left is the most burly, and he feels very secure at first glance!" If I were the girl in the village, I would definitely choose him! Young master, which one do you think is better? ”

“……”

"But the middle one doesn't seem to be bad," said the young man, who hesitated again, "and looks stronger...... Oops, it's hard to choose! ”

The man in Tsing Yi looked at the young man with a distressed face with black lines on his head, and pursed his lips tightly.

He probably wanted to bring this guy when his head was crowded!

"As long as the most popular young man is selected, you can just grab the girl in the village?" The boy asked again. "But what if people don't want to? Or maybe the person chosen is not her own favorite, so what should she do? Don't you have to be with someone you don't like for the rest of your life? ”

"No, it won't." The man smiled, "Don't you look at this custom as child's play, but it also takes a lot of thought - if the man chosen later and the bride to be robbed love each other, then naturally they will be very happy." But if, as you said, the man is not the girl's favorite, then the woman can also refuse the man's courtship. However, in this way, the later activities such as church worship and marriage and even the cave house will also be canceled by themselves, and the men and women of the village will sing and dance around the bonfire for a whole night. ”

"But there could be another situation—"

"What's the situation?"

The man's gaze turned to the singing and laughing girls in the inner circle, and he casually pointed to one of the women in a light green tube skirt who was directly opposite them, and said, "Do you see the yellow veil on that girl's clothes?" This means that she doesn't want to decide her life's events in this way at all, just to join in the fun...... In this case, no matter who is chosen in the end, you can't rob her. ”

"Where! Where? What yellow veil, why didn't I see it? The boy stood on tiptoe curiously.

"It's the one in the green dress, you go a little bit more to me......"

"Oh......" The young man suddenly realized, but he raised his head suddenly, a pair of almond eyes widened, and said angrily, "Okay, you, you are still a scholar!" I don't even understand the truth of disrespect! Okay, what do you look at the girl's chest! Hum! After saying that, he turned his face to the side and refused to pay attention to him again.

The man in Tsing Yi's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of the pot - even if his head was squeezed in the future, he would never bring him a second time!

……………………

The other compartment.

"Ah Xun, who are you going to give your wreath to later?" Xing'er asked Su Jinchen excitedly.

"Me?"
