201 Tribal Festival, Happy Engagement
"Haha, we're here at the right time to see that the prey is already cooked! Look at this pot of milky white fish soup, even if there is only fish soup and roasted prey, and there is no rice, we can still eat well! Come, lord, hurry up and take a seat, there is a lack of a jar of wine, otherwise, drinking wine and eating baked food in this natural place must be a great enjoyment! An hour later, King Hohe and the other three came to the cave, and the gift they received was, of course, for the guards to take away, and now they only need to eat ready-made food.

"Hohe Wang, with food, it doesn't matter if there is no wine, not to mention that what we should care about is the mood of enjoying food in this natural environment. Okay, now that the county lord and Xiaoyan have finished doing it, then we have to move our mouths, we must eat seriously, eat well, and eat to our heart's content! Yan Qihao said, so he first made a bowl of fish soup for Zhan Xiaoyan, and then made a bowl of fish soup for himself and their family of three, and then took a sip. Well, it tastes good, even if it's just cooked like this, it doesn't have too much fishy smell, it's very good.
"Haha, yes, the prince is right, we just have to enjoy the food, as for the wine, we will be able to drink it when we return to the tribe, now let's try the craftsmanship of Qingxue and the princess, I believe it must be very good!" As he spoke, King Hohe also picked up the bowl and took a sip of fish soup. Well, the taste is really good, naturally it is not as good as that made by professional chefs, but in the wild, it is already good to be able to drink such fish soup.
The next five people ate five rabbits and seven white pigeons, and if it weren't for the fact that there was such a big pot of fish soup, then they must have eaten more, after all, the man's meal was not small. And Hohe Qingxue and Zhan Xiaoyan only ate a white pigeon and a rabbit leg, and drank two bowls of fish soup to be full, and then after the three men finished eating, they began to clean up the mess on the ground, and after they went down the mountain, it was naturally past noon, and the three of them and the other guards beat down a lot of prey!
Seven days of time passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Songkran Festival of the Hohe tribe, Yan Qihao and his wife were woken up by the lively voices, and according to the degree of the sun shining on the tent, the time at this time was still very early.
"Lord, princess, are you up? The slave maid brought toiletries and hot water, and the county lord said to let you have breakfast with her, and after eating, the Songkran Festival of our tribe will begin! A maidservant stood outside and said, she was the person in charge of serving Yan Qihao and Zhan Xiaoyan, her name was Heyue. said that it was serving, but in fact, it usually brought them three meals a day, hot water and a change of clothes, and she usually didn't need to do anything.
"Okay, come in!" After Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao got dressed, they replied. Although they can let Heyue come in and serve them to get dressed, they are not used to it, and they prefer to dress themselves, so they usually let her bring in the washing things after they are dressed. But if it's usual, it's all when they wake up, get dressed for a while, and Heyue will come, obviously because today is the Songkran Festival, so she came early, but they don't mind, and they can just see how lively the Songkran Festival of the Hohe tribe is.
"Lord, smile, our tribe's Songkran Festival starts in the morning and ends in the evening, in the morning my father takes our family to bathe and worship the Buddha, and the Buddha prays for blessings, splashes each other with pure water, and prays to wash away the bad things of the past year. Originally, in previous years, our Songkran Festival was maintained for more than three days. Speaking of this, Huhe Qingxue suddenly looked a little annoyed, sighed and continued:
"But since last year, I don't know why, the river flow next to the tribe is much smaller, and my father has also sent people to the upper reaches to see it, and the water flow is also very small, but I don't know what the specific reason is, so last year's Songkran Festival and this year's Songkran Festival was only held for one day." Because although she is only the county lord, she has always been concerned about the problems of the tribe, and she also hopes to be able to share some things for her father.
"I don't think there's too much to worry about, because the water source is big and small, maybe for a while it will be small, maybe next month, or next year, the water source will change back to its original size. And Qingxue, you have to know that if the water on your side becomes smaller, then the water in other places must also become smaller, and if there is really a difficulty, you can also report it to the imperial court, and someone will solve the problem. Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao exchanged a look, and then said. Even if it is a tribe, there will be some minor problems, and it seems that this is the case with the Hohe tribe now.
"Well, that's what my father said! He said that if the water source is like this for three years, then he will send a letter to the emperor, and last year, this year has been two years, and next year will be the third year, if the water source is still not bigger, it is still so small, and maybe even smaller, then there will be problems in our lives, and we must find a way to solve it at that time. Hohe Qingxue also understands that his father has already thought about it, and now he hopes that the water source can return to normal as soon as possible, otherwise their daily life will definitely be affected after a long time.
But no matter what kind of problem there is, at least the atmosphere is very cheerful now, because of the Songkran Festival, the people of the tribe wear dark clothes, so that even if the clothes are wet, there is no need to worry about the appearance inside, and seeing that both men and women are wearing dark clothes, you know that they must be wearing this way every year.
"Come, here are the basins and buckets, you can carry the water and splash anybody, because no one will be angry today. That's how it was in the morning, and after we had lunch, we would continue in the afternoon, and when the hour had passed, we would start singing and dancing, and in the evening, we would light torches, and then there would be roast beef, roast venison, and goat's milk would be put here, and if you wanted to drink it, you could call for it, as long as it was not wasted, and anyone could drink it. This kind of carnival will continue until after the end of the day and before the end of the day, so enjoy it! Here we go! ”
Huhe Qingxue said, picked up a wooden basin and splashed it at Zhan Xiaoyan, Zhan Xiaoyan was attacked so suddenly, and she was not angry, because she had just said 'this is the beginning', so just now Huhe Qingxue splashed herself, and now of course she has to fight back, so she picked up another wooden basin and splashed it at Huhe Qingxue. Since Hohe Qingxue took the initiative to splash water just now, of course, she was also on guard, so she avoided it slightly, quickly lifted the bucket, and splashed it at Zhan Xiaoyan, and the two of them went back and forth like this, so unhappy.
"Haha, lord, I splashed it! Our tribe's Songkran Festival can't stand stupidly all the time, otherwise, we will be attacked! Yan Qihao was watching Zhan Xiaoyan and Huhe Qingxue, you chased me, and was splashed on the back by someone unexpectedly, and then he heard the sound of Huheyou laughing.
"Really? Are you sure I'm just standing stupid, not looking for a moment, and then looking for the best time and finding the right person to shoot? Yan Qihao emphasized the last three words, and at the same time as his words fell, he also picked up the wooden basin with a thunderous movement, and splashed it towards Huheyou, fast and swift. And after Yan Qihao finished splashing, he left quickly and didn't stand in place anymore. Since he has already fought back, of course he won't stand there stupidly all the time, and after Huheyou reacted, he also quickly followed with a bucket, he wanted to fight back!
Such an activity gradually stopped at noon, and at this time, except for pregnant women who could not fall and could not participate in the festival activities, no one in the tribe was dry. Even Hu and Wang have long participated in the activities, because only during these festivals can they not care about their identities at all, and Wang will never blame them.
"Huhu, I'm really tired! Qihao, how do you feel? It's fun to have a festival like this in this season, at least because it's my first time participating, so I think it's pretty good. But Qihao, let's change the wet clothes now, because Qingxue said that the clothes that are wet by the water can't be changed, let alone dried halfway, and they have to be worn until the end of the Songkran Festival, so let's change them for the time being! Returning to the battalion commander at noon, he said with a smile while wiping his wet hair.
"Yes, in addition to the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qiqiao Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals that must be celebrated every year, there will be different festivals in different places, at least the Hohe tribe I know has a Songkran Festival, just on April 25, just ten days before the Dragon Boat Festival; Then the extravagant tribe has a torch festival, on October 15 every year, different tribes have different festivals, but they are all the same lively, if you like, wait until the second half of the year, in winter, we can also participate in different festivals of other tribes. ”
Yan Qihao was drinking tea, and replied to Zhan Xiaoyan's words, Heyue hadn't brought the food yet, so they could only take a break for a while, and they wanted to sleep after lunch, such a season would always make people sleepy. But when the afternoon activity is over, he has to let Heyue cook a bowl of ginger soup, after all, even in this season, if you wear wet clothes all the time, there will be moisture entering the body, so to avoid catching a cold the next day, it is necessary to drink ginger soup!
The afternoon is still very lively, in addition to splashing water on each other like in the morning, there is a band to come, stay in the place where the water can't splash, and then start playing, then everyone who was still splashing water on each other began to dance with the music, and the place where the wooden basin and bucket were originally put have also been cleaned up, and now the fire and shelves are put on, at this time the sky is still bright, not darkened, but it takes a long time to roast a whole cow, or a whole deer, and while roasting, I also have to cut off the cooked meat and put it on a plate, so I have to keep busy to prepare enough food for thousands of people.
"Xiaoyan, if you're tired of dancing, come over and rest, and I'll give you roast beef to eat." Yan Qihao said, he walked to the side of the cow that had been slaughtered, cut off four cow legs, and then put them on the shelf to roast, although it was not a whole cow, but it was not easy to roast the four cow legs well, so it was necessary to roast them seriously and devotedly.
"Qingxue, let's go change our clothes, and we're going to have dinner soon, we've been dancing for more than an hour just now, and we're almost tired from dancing, and our stomachs are empty, so it's almost time to eat something to fill our stomachs!" Zhan smiled as he spoke, twisted his hair and wrung out a lot of water, because the splashing water in the afternoon was no less than in the morning, so his clothes and hair were also soaked.
"Okay, then we're going to change our clothes, and at this hour, all that's left is dancing, so if you want to stop, it's okay, it's time for dinner." Hohe Qingxue has no objection, because even though the Songkran Festival is held every year, and she participates in it every year, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't hate the feeling of wearing wet clothes, so almost in the evening, she can change into dry clothes and get ready for dinner.
Zhan Xiaoyan went back to change her clothes, and used internal force to warm her body, and her hair was also dried, so that her body was much more comfortable. The Songkran Festival of the Hohe tribe is very lively, and she is very happy to participate, but it is also a fact that she gets wet with two clothes in one day, I don't know where they will go next time? Zhan Xiaoyan never took the initiative to ask Yan Qihao, because no matter what he arranged, he would accept it, and it would definitely be the most suitable arrangement, and no matter where he went, it would be fun, and then see something interesting, so it was enough.
This time they stayed in the Hohe tribe for more than ten days, hunting, Songkran Festival, delicious food, fun festivals, the time is almost up, tomorrow they are leaving, go to the next place, I don't know what country or city they will go to next time?
Although Zhan Xiaoyan didn't ask Yan Qihao how he arranged it, he still knew that if it was adjacent, it would be Xichang Country, and they had never been to that country, if it was to the left, it would be a small town or a rural area, and it would be good to experience a different life from the city. So it doesn't matter which way he goes, I don't know what his next arrangement is? (To be continued.) )
