Chapter 362: Star Picking Festival (2-in-1)
Wang 13 didn't need to look in the mirror to know why Wen Sheng was laughing.
This kind of laughter, when he was in Jiangbei before, he would also hear it from Wang Qi and a few of them from time to time.
What's more, at this moment, he is not only shaved, but also dressed very strangely, wearing a royal blue embroidered shirt with narrow sleeves, and the pants are fat and short, causing him to show his feet and neck on a cold day, this is not counting, the east and west strings on his body are full of beads and colored balls, Wang Shisan feels that he can change it, and it takes great courage to go all the way here.
So he glared at Wen Sheng from a distance away and said, "Laughing fart." ”
"Hahaha." Wen Sheng laughed even harder for a while.
"......" Wang 13 decided that there are a large number of adults, and they are not like Gu Wensheng, who is a little girl who judges people by their appearance.
Lijiang Mingxi smiled "hehe" and said: "This is the casual dress that our young people of the Chiyue clan usually do, you have to adapt more, and when you get used to it, you will feel that it is still so comfortable and pleasing to the eye." As for these ornaments on your body, don't underestimate them, most of them are hollow, and when you go on the field, you must install antidote and insect repellent powder, so that you will have more opportunities. ”
As soon as it came to detoxifying with poison, Wang Shisan's expression immediately became solemn, he was not good at this, he had eaten a few times against Lijiang Mingxi before, and he was indeed a little stunned.
There's a lot more they need to do before they go on the pitch.
Wen Sheng's physical condition made Wang 13 have a sense of urgency, not only to win, but also to cut through the mess quickly, only after the game three down five divided by two to solve the other party, in order to reduce Wen Sheng's consumption. Leave a glimmer of life for her.
Lijiang Mingxi noticed the bamboo flute in Wen Sheng's hand at this time, and said happily: "It's done?" ”
Wen Sheng followed his gaze, picked up the flute and gave it to him: "It's done." ”
Lijiang Mingxi is no stranger to bamboo flutes. They also have flutes in their clan, but they are much shorter than the one in Wen Sheng's hand, with a total of six holes, and they need to use a mouthpiece to make sounds.
He has also seen seven-hole bamboo flutes, such as the purple bamboo flute used by Yuan Kai.
"Don't need to give it a try?"
Wen Sheng casually pulled the flute in his hand and put it in his waist: "No need." ”
Lijiang Mingxi took the opportunity to look at Wen Sheng's clothes, and Wen Sheng said it well. She and Shui Lanji are similar in height, fat and thin, and when the time comes, they only need to change their hairstyles and cover their faces with light veils. It's not easy to tell the villagers of Akatsuki Village apart, let alone the other party.
"Starting tomorrow, the poisonous fog will not attack for three consecutive nights, and it is our monthly star picking festival in Akatsuki Village. It was a good time to take this opportunity to determine the number of people who would participate in the war. You are also familiar with each other, practice cooperation. ”
In fact, the candidates for the war, Meng Shenyu and Lijiang Mingxi have been pondering for so many years, and they have already been roughly confirmed.
As the patriarch and elder of the Red Moon Clan, the two of them are also one of the few masters in the clan, so they are naturally responsible for such things.
The rest of the people originally planned to borrow from Wang Guangji, but Wang Guangji broke his trust and took his men and never returned. They couldn't, and they were selected in the clan. As a result, there was such a variable as Wang Thirteen.
Wang Shisan heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, this is to let him officially appear in front of the whole village through the "Star Picking Festival".
No matter what Lijiang Mingxi means, Wang Shisan has already made up his mind, and he must not be polite at that time, and he must clean up the so-called "masters" in Chiyue Village.
Only when they have all the people in their hands can they be honest and obedient, and when the time comes for the war to start, they will tell them to go east, and they will not dare to go west.
Grandma's, you have to be like Gu Wensheng, don't take yourself seriously, laugh at the fart, and cry after waiting for the game.
Not to mention that he was holding his breath here, just talking about Wen Sheng, and then followed Shui Lanji to dress up and change his clothes.
Shui Lanji gave her a general introduction to the customs of the clan, focusing on the next Star Picking Festival.
It turned out that the marriage match of the men and women of the Chiyue clan was very different from the orders of the parents and the matchmaker in the previous life of Daliang and Wen Sheng.
Their clansmen worship strength, as long as you can fight, or like the elder Li Jiang Mingxi, you can poison people with a gesture, no matter whether you are still young, whether you have a partner or children, you will be loved by the opposite sex.
Once single men and women have their sights on the target, they will put down their bodies at the Star Picking Festival, please each other in every possible way, hoping to develop a relationship with each other, or even form a family.
So in Chiyue Village, there are many polygamous, for example, Shui Lanji's father, patriarch Meng Grayyu, has several wives, and there are several polyandry families, and the villagers feel that this is normal, and they will not look at it strangely at all.
As a result, although the population of Akatsuki Village is less than 1,000, the Star Picking Festival every month is like a carnival and is extremely lively.
The most lively is the "star picking" on the last day.
There is a cliff on the territory of the Red Moon Clan, which is more than ten zhang high, and there is a deep pool under the cliff.
Legend has it that the mount of the Red Moon God was born in this pool, and when he grew up, he used to bark at the moon on the cliff, and when the Red Moon God heard it, he went down to the mortal world and took it away.
Therefore, this cliff is also known as the Moon Worship Cliff, because it is a place where the gods have visited, and its status in the minds of the Chiyue people is very high and sacred.
On the cliff, there is not only a moon worship tree that bears fruit once in a hundred years, but also grows a kind of star grass, this grass looks no different from wild grass during the day, but at night it will bloom star-like flowers, the flowers are silvery-white, and you can smell a refreshing fragrance from a distance.
If the flowers are not picked, they will wither at dawn, and they will be picked and raised in honey, but they can bloom for a month without defeat.
The people of the Red Moon Clan feel that this star flower is like the love of men and women, and when the time comes, it needs to be taken off and cared for, if it is left lonely in the mountains, it will soon dry up.
But usually, there is a poisonous fog around the moon worship cliff, and there are only three days a month when you can climb the cliff and pick picks, and the name of the Star Picking Festival also comes from this.
Although climbing the Moon Worship Cliff is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you may fall down and fall into the pool, and even if you don't drown, you will have to suffer a big crime, but the young people of the Akatsuki clan are still happy to do it, and they are eager to do it.
In the past, they were trying to pick up the "stars" and curry favor with their sweethearts.
these months. Even the elderly people in the village would attend, as the patriarchs and elders watched from below, watching their skills as they scrambled and fought. A warrior who was chosen to fight a duel with Silvermoon Village.
"No surprise, this is the last selection, everyone will definitely do their best, my Red Moon Clan has no cowards who are afraid of death."
"Can I go with me then?" Wen Sheng wanted to go, not only curious, but also to see with his own eyes how the warriors of Akatsuki Village were selected. What is the strength in the end.
Shui Lanji hesitated for a moment: "It should be okay, wait for me to ask Master, in fact, I just heard what they said." Never looked at it. ”
"Why? The goddess can't go out? ”
"That's not it, these things have nothing to do with me, and I don't want to bother people."
Shui Lanji didn't elaborate, and Wen Sheng remembered. Lijiang Mingxi said that Shui Lanji can't get married. Nor can you get close to men.
Such family rules are inevitably a bit unkind. I just don't know what Shui Lanji thinks herself.
Star-Picking Festival is coming soon.
Although the Great War was imminent, the entire Akatsuki Village was still immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
On the first day, the villagers stayed in their homes until dark, and Shui Lanji said that they were preparing drinks and cooking all kinds of delicious food.
Sure enough, in the evening, there were villagers carrying baskets and holding wine jars. Come to the attic here and give gifts to the elders.
After they left from Lijiang Mingxi, they did not return home. Instead, find a place to sit on the floor in the open space in front of the attic.
Gradually, more and more people gathered outside, and a bonfire was lit in the middle of the clearing.
The drum bells rang out, and the crisp, high-pitched piccolo joined in, and the sound of loud laughter drifted into the attic without knowing what was going on beside the fire.
Wang 13 was still dressed like yesterday, followed Lijiang Mingxi over, and asked Wen Sheng if he wanted to go down to join in the fun.
Lijiang Mingxi called Shui Lanji away by the way, and the master and apprentice didn't know what to discuss, so Wang Shisan and Wen Sheng stood in front of the window and looked down.
This position is where they first came and saw Lijiang Mingxi and Shui Lanji standing.
Wang 13 touched his chin and said with emotion: "Hey, have you noticed, the men in this village don't seem to like beards, they are not shaved, they are uprooted, I saw several people sitting there and pulling out their beards." ”
“…… You're watching so carefully. Wen Sheng said sincerely.
"Well, I'll have to find out if they're trying to manipulate me."
"Huh. In conclusion? ”
"It doesn't seem to be. You say they don't have beards, is it for the convenience of painting their faces? ”
"We'll find out when you try."
The Akatsuki people don't always wear flower faces, according to what Wen Sheng has seen in the past two days, it should be a kind of self-protection when he sees outsiders and hunts.
She casually dealt with Wang Thirteen, these questions that made people laugh and cry in the past, at this time, she asked and answered, but she felt extremely relaxed.
"Oops, that's jumping. Tsk, the dance is quite intense, look, that little girl, the one who dances against the man. ”
Wen Sheng: "......" people dancing, what are you excited about?
But Wang Thirteen danced with his hands, very happy.
With him by his side, he felt very lively.
At this time, there were more and more people dancing around the bonfire, and the villagers sitting next to them sang to the beat and danced to the head, when a young man suddenly strode forward, picked up the girl opposite, and spun in circles in the center of the field.
There was a deafening coaxing sound around, Wang 13 put his fingers between his lips when he saw this, and was about to make a loud whistle, when he suddenly found that Wen Sheng was looking at him sideways, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, I don't know whether to continue to blow well, or to stop drumming.
In such a moment's hesitation, a simple whistle leaked, and his cheeks deflated, clearly revealing the dimple on the right.
Wen Sheng turned his face away, his shoulders swaying slightly.
"Huh." It was far away after dark, and Lijiang Mingxi only saw Wang Shisan lying in front of the window watching the excitement, and walked over and said, "This is just the beginning, I'll take you down and get to know everyone." ”
Wen Sheng actually didn't like such a lively in her heart, and she couldn't stand the noise, so she shook her head: "I won't go." ”
Wang 13 quickly picked up: "I won't go either, it's good to look good here." ”
Wen Sheng is a woman and a musician, please don't move this is in Lijiang Mingxi's expectations, what he didn't expect was that Wang Shisan would reject him.
Wen Sheng also felt strange, and when Lijiang Mingxi left, he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you go, I see that you are obviously very itchy." ”
Wang 13 scoffed: "Nonsense, you are not a roundworm in the uncle's stomach, how do you know that my heart is itchy?" ”
Wen Sheng seemed to smile: "When the beard is shaved, there is nothing to block it, it is clearly written on the face." ”
Wang 13 subconsciously touched both cheeks, and said seriously: "I want to go down, but when I think that you are looking at me here like a monkey, I am not in the mood." ”
This is also possible, so Wen Sheng said: "Then I'll go and rest, you go down to play." ”
"Don't." Wang Shisanyi grabbed her, "It's so boring to go back, you accompany me to watch the monkey." ”
The three-day carnival of the Star Picking Festival lasted all night, and most of the successful courtship on the first night had already been in love with each other, and Wang Thirteen saw that it had become seven or eight pairs, and they judged it one by one, and before they knew it, it was almost the second watch.
Wen Sheng covered his mouth and yawned, and asked Wang Thirteen: "Didn't you say that you want to take the opportunity to become famous?" ”
Wang 13 smiled: "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I pick up the stars on the last day." ”
Wen Sheng turned around: "Then I'll go to sleep, you can do it yourself." ”
After Wen Sheng left, Wang Shisan looked downstairs, it was still lively, but all of them were fresh faces, and somehow, he suddenly felt bored.
On the second day of the Star Picking Festival, an incident happened that had something to do with Wang Thirteen, and two young men from Akatsuki Village courted Shanido together.
Because of Wang Thirteen, Shaniduo hid this time and did not show up to participate in the Star Picking Festival, two young people who didn't like each other went to the village chief's house first, and then came to the attic to find her, wanting to show their love in person, and asked Shaniduo to talk about who she liked.
In fact, Shui Lanji quietly told Wen Sheng that Shaniduo yearns for the outside world wholeheartedly, and is unwilling to stay in Chiyue Village for the rest of her life, let alone like anyone in the Shang clan.
But she only dared to say this to her sister, and she didn't even dare to call her father to know.
Shaniduo hid in the attic, and Wang Shisan, because she wanted to pretend to be her husband, simply came forward to be a villain, and directly grabbed the two of them by the back of their necks from the door of the building to the fire.
Everyone was in an uproar, and Elder Li Jiang Mingxi took the opportunity to introduce Wang Shisan, saying that although he was from outside the mountain, he was the husband chosen by the patriarch for Shaniduo.
Why would the patriarch value an outsider so much?
Naturally, it is because he is a good martial artist and has the courage of ten thousand people.
Saying this, Wang Shisan almost provoked public indignation, and the villagers of Chiyue Village all knew that there would soon be a life-and-death competition, and the patriarch wanted to marry Shaniduo to this arrogant boy, whether it was really so powerful or not, and it would be clear when the stars were picked up tomorrow. (To be continued......)
