Chapter 363: Picking Up the Stars for You (2-in-1)
In the eyes of the villagers of Chiyue Village, the pursued Shaniduo did not show up to express his position, and Wang Shisan drove away his rival on his behalf, which was a rule that the clansmen had observed for thousands of years.
Moreover, Wang 13 looked milky at this time, and it was difficult for them to connect him with the bearded man who broke into the village two days ago.
On the evening of the third day of the Star Picking Festival, the whole village lit torches and sang songs and went to the Moon Cliff.
The men who participated in the "Star Picking" walked ahead with their hands, they deliberately isolated Wang Shisan, and none of them took the initiative to talk to him.
Wang Shisancai didn't care, his attention was behind him, and he looked back frequently along the way.
went to see the lively big girl and little daughter-in-law dressed up and followed, the village chief Meng Shenyu and the elder Li Jiang Mingxi walked in the center of the team, Meng Shenyu followed by Shaniduo, and next to Li Jiang Mingxi, the girl wearing a robe and a light veil on her face was actually Wen Sheng.
The men in Chiyue Village didn't know that Wang Shisan was looking at Wen Sheng, and they thought that this kid was not worried about Shaniduo, so he stared at him so closely, he despised it in his heart, and looked at each other, and when he was ready to stay for a while and climb the rock, he would give him a good taste.
Wang 13 didn't seem to realize that the crisis was approaching, and he didn't mean to ease the atmosphere.
After walking a short distance, he didn't want to stay with these strange men anymore, stopped for a while, fell behind, walked again, and ran directly to the middle of Meng Gray Yu and Lijiang Mingxi.
A group of young people with strong blood were so angry that their noses were crooked.
Li Jiang Mingxi saw it in his eyes and said to him with a smile: "There are not many masters in the clan, so you can be merciful when you stay." Don't break everyone, it's bad if you can't pick out the people to fight. ”
Wang 13 grinned and said: "Don't worry, this competition is related to our own lives." ”
Lijiang Mingxi thinks about it too. Then he said no more.
They jumped over the ravine and walked for about half an hour into the depths of the valley.
Tonight the night sky is clear, there is a slight wind in the valley, and the first quarter moon hangs in the eastern sky, bright as a silver hook.
The wind is mixed with cool water, and more importantly, it is a strange aroma.
The floral fragrance is not very strong. But it floated far away, and the first smell was a bit like the tranquility of lotus flowers, with a hint of sweetness. Although it is not easy to describe, this aroma must have a calming effect, because the long dragon of the crowd has become significantly quieter since it approached the Moon Worship Cliff.
The patriarch Meng Gray Yu was silent. But then he stopped. Turning his head and saying a few words to Wang Thirteen.
Lijiang Mingxi said: "The patriarch said that you are not allowed to carry weapons on the cliff climbing tonight, so you are told to leave the knife and hurry to the front, it is about to start." ”
The cold moonlight reflected the moon cliff ahead.
This mountain cliff looks more than ten zhang high, the cliff wall goes straight up and down, smooth like a knife and axe, and the middle section is about a stone relationship. A glow like a bronze mirror.
There is a deep pool under the cliff, I don't know if it's because the pool is too cold. A thin layer of mist hung over the water.
A wooden platform was built near the cliff wall of the waterhole, allowing villagers to step on the cliff.
At this time, the narrow platform was already crowded with people, and those who could not stand were waiting by the waterhole.
These men in Akatsuki Village were obviously very experienced in climbing this stone wall, and the innermost row of hands pressed their feet, like several large geckos sticking to the stone wall, just waiting for the patriarch's side to give an order.
Wen Sheng's eyes were very good, and he stared closely at Yuanyuan, and finally found some clues.
There are some small pits on the surface of the stone wall that are slightly concave, the height is quite regular, it should be dug out artificially, and it is specially used to borrow strength for the villagers to settle down when climbing the cliff.
Wang 13 picked up the sword.
Li Jiang Mingxi saw that he was not very attentive, and urged with a smile: "Go quickly, the beautiful star will bring good luck, only a true warrior can pick it, the first person to pick the star flower, the Red Moon God will bless him with all his wishes." ”
Wang 13 stood there, moved his hands and feet across a waterhole, and said nonchalantly: "At the beginning, I'll let them climb for a while." ”
Meng Gray Yu's face was a little unpleasant, and he shouted at the bottom of the cliff.
The men at the bottom of the cliff listened to the village chief's order, and immediately took action, and the innermost young men jumped up half a man's height, grabbed the shallow pit in the stone wall with their hands, and climbed up as fast as geckos swimming on the wall on their toes.
Onlookers, women, children, and children screamed in unison.
In the blink of an eye, the bottom of the stone wall was already crawling with people.
Soon there were those who were unlucky or physically weak, and they fell from mid-air and fell straight into the pool in the exclamations of everyone, making a splash of the boss.
It can be seen that the villagers of Akatsuki Village are very experienced in falling into the water, once they fall, they immediately curl up their bodies, hold their heads in both hands, and do not rush up after sinking into the water, but swim away first, so as not to be hit by the people who fall from behind.
The screams quickly turned into heckling and laughter.
Wen Sheng wore a veil and glanced at Wang Shisan.
It's probably because it's dark, and until this time, no one has found out that she is not Shui Lanji.
The most agile has climbed up three or four feet high, Wang 13 has no intention of making a move, according to Wen Sheng's understanding of him, this kid may not hold back a lot of strength.
Five zhang, six zhang, I see that it is almost halfway there......
The few who climbed the highest obviously wanted to compete for the first place, and there were more pulling movements between each other, which was allowed and encouraged in the "Star Picking" of the Akatsuki people.
Wang 13 was amused and said, "I'll go." Dropping this sentence, he flew up and went straight to the Moon Worship Cliff.
There was a waterhole between him and the boss in the moon worship cliff, and when he fell to the fullest, he was still two or three feet away from the wooden platform, and he was about to fall into the water.
Everyone didn't expect that this outsider, who had high hopes from the village chief and elders, looked like "Lao Tzu is very powerful", but he didn't even touch the stone wall, and he was about to fall into the water, and there was a boo.
But at this time, a head floated from under the water, and I don't know who was so unlucky, so he impartially sent his head to Wang Shisan's feet, and was stepped on by his big feet, and sank down again.
Wang 13 used this strength to not even get his shoes wet. Gently and skillfully got on the platform.
The boos came to an abrupt end.
Everyone looked at each other, and even Meng Gray Yu and Li Jiang Mingxi were a little afraid to conclude that this was a coincidence. Or did Wang 13 do it on purpose.
Alone Wen Sheng's heart is like a mirror, his "I went" is equivalent to "I went up to smash the field".
Looking at Wang 13 again, he did not stop when he got on the stage, and jumped up directly.
Everyone else climbs up, but his upper body leans outward, like a bird soaring into the air, pointing his toes against the stone wall.
That's it. It was not only the stone wall that was frequently touched by his toes, but also people.
For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.
Those young people who were climbing the cliff also discovered such an anomaly as Wang Shisan, and everyone had long wanted to deal with him. Now that he has joined in, he has no choice but to jump fast, and his average skills are still helpless against him.
The shouts on the cliff wall sounded one after another, and a young man at a height of five zhang saw Wang 13 leap in front of him. Kick your toes into a shallow pit in the stone wall. The upper body stood up as lightly as an ape, and suddenly stretched out his arms and grabbed towards Wang Shisan!
The timing of this shot was judged very accurately, and it was Wang 13 who passed by and was blocked by his arm.
Wang 13 did not avoid it, took advantage of the short rendezvous to break up with him with one hand, found a flaw, grabbed him, and threw him off the stone wall.
The man exclaimed. Straight into the waterhole.
Looking at Wang Shisan's slow work, he was entangled by a few young people around him, and the entanglement was like a dumpling. "Crackling" fell down, Li Jiang Mingxi was worried, and shouted loudly: "Be careful! Don't hurt anyone, and don't break it! ”
He used the Daliang dialect, and only Wang Thirteen could understand it, but this was enough, everyone could see that although Wang Thirteen was outnumbered by the public, this chaotic situation was under his control.
This guy reacts too quickly, using his hands and feet in mid-air, and all kinds of tricks are dizzying.
There was a burly man among the people besieging Wang Thirteen, who was climbing in front of him, six or seven feet high from the ground, and seeing that Wang Thirteen's latecomers were on top, and were about to catch up with him, he raised one leg and stepped condescendingly towards Wang Thirteen.
If he stepped on it this time, Wang 13 would definitely fall down, but he could use his strength to jump up a few feet.
Wang 13 was being entangled by several people around him, and immediately avoided it to the side.
The man missed a move, closed his feet and stepped on the stone wall, but at this time, Wang Shisan made an empty hand, grabbed it, and did not grab the opponent's foot and neck, but pulled his trouser leg.
Most of the young people of the Chiyue clan are dressed the same as Wang Shisan at this time, the upper body is a cardigan, and the lower pants are fat and short.
I saw that under the blue moonlight, the big man clinged to the high place of the stone wall with his hands and feet, and his pants fell off to his knees, revealing his smooth buttocks.
…… It's terrible.
Wen Sheng adhered to the sage's teachings of ignoring indecency and quickly looked away, wanting to hide his face with his hands, but also couldn't help but want to laugh.
Fortunately, there is a veil in the way, so there is a lot less embarrassment.
However, the reaction of the women and children of Akatsuki Village was quite unexpected.
At this moment, there was a sudden silence around the Moon Worship Cliff, followed by a deafening sound of stomping feet and laughter.
There are also whistling and cheering.
Let's say that the big man escaped the clutches of Wang Thirteen and was not torn off, and he was feeling lucky, but he suddenly felt a cold buttocks, and there were more burdens on his knees, and he didn't react for a while.
When he realized that something was wrong in the laughter of his clansmen, he didn't hesitate much between continuing to climb up and falling off his bare buttocks, and hurriedly lifted his pants with his free hands, and the person fell directly from the cliff.
The onlookers laughed louder for a while.
Lijiang Mingxi sighed: "It's a bit ruthless, Mang'an is agile and powerful, and he is a warrior who can be counted in the clan." The village chief and I are optimistic about him, but don't hurt him. ”
Wen Sheng said in a low voice: "Instead of being ostracized, it is better to win a place with strength first." As for cooperation, the elders need to coordinate a lot. ”
Li Jiang Mingxi nodded, it was a matter of the rise and fall of a clan, and Chen Ming's interests made everyone feel the same hatred of the enemy, so he naturally had an unshirkable responsibility.
"The key to victory or defeat is still in the girl, I hope the girl will do her best."
Wen Sheng admitted: "Don't worry. ”
At this time, Wang 13 leaped up two or three feet, and jumped past everyone to the front.
The laughter around gradually stopped, and everyone looked up to see if Wang Shisan could be the first to climb the Moon Worship Cliff.
He was almost ten zhang high from the ground, the speed was too fast, from Wen Sheng could only see a black figure on the opposite cliff, fluttering like a kite hanging on a high place, as the line on the cliff tightened more and more, the figure became higher and higher, and finally a beautiful harrier turned over and volleyed to the top of the cliff.
He went up.
At this time, the others were still a long way from the top of the cliff.
Wang 13 stood on the cliff, raised his eyes and shouted: "Wow, what a tall tree, so many flowers, it really looks like a star!" ”
Although the people climbing the cliff couldn't understand what he was shouting, this voice had a motivating effect on everyone.
Someone has already gone up, and although the first one to pick up the star is not himself, it is also a great honor to be able to pick a bouquet and bring it back.
Wang 13 was not busy "picking stars", but stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched, and then condescendingly, made a few gestures, and said loudly: "Hey, save your energy, don't come up, these flowers on it, Lao Tzu has wrapped them." ”
Everyone in Akatsuki Village didn't understand, it didn't matter, he explained it with his actions.
After the gesture, he shook his figure and disappeared on the edge of the cliff.
When the young man who climbed at the forefront of Chiyue Village was exhausted and went up the cliff, he couldn't help but be taken aback, Wang Shisan held a large handful of silver-white star flowers in his arms, and was bending down to continue "picking", there were more than a dozen flowers scattered on the ground, looking at him like that, he didn't plan to let go at all.
When Wang 13 heard the movement, he turned his face and bared his teeth at him.
The people of the Akatsuki Clan, who have been dealing with wild beasts for a long time, understand that this is not a friendly greeting, this is the meaning of protecting food.
There is a lesson of the right talent, that person knows that he can't beat Wang Thirteen, so let's wait for his own people to come up.
He lay there gasping for breath, watching Wang Shisan take all the "stars" into his arms.
It is difficult to go up the cliff, and it is even more dangerous to go down the cliff, but these are not a problem for Wang Thirteen at all.
Holding a large bouquet of stars, he stood on the edge of the cliff, looked back at the strangely shaped moon worship tree, raised his hand to the people who climbed up one after another, made a gesture of goodbye, and then whistled in his mouth, took a step forward, and slid directly down against the cliff.
The onlookers were silent, staring at him and landing back onto the wooden platform intact.
That big bouquet of stars, shimmering in the moonlight.
Everyone couldn't help but think that this was going to be given to Shaniduo, hey, although this outsider snatched all the stars and flowers very much, but for Shaniduo, it was really happy.
But the strange thing is that Wang 13 just held those many "stars", and he didn't mean to give them away at all.
It was still early to wait for the warriors on the cliff to come down and everyone to return to the village.
In the past, at this time of the Star Picking Festival, the warriors sent flowers and courtship, and the girls smiled and agreed, and then set off the last big climax of the carnival, but this time, everyone was a little listless.
Wen Sheng went back to the attic directly, and Lijiang Mingxi was about to say something, when suddenly a wolf howl sounded from the entrance of the village, and the villagers who were on guard hurriedly came to report that they had found the enemy's traces, and it was likely that Yinyue Village had sent someone.
Everyone "hula" followed the village chief and elders out of the village.
Wang 13 didn't follow, he looked at no one's attention, holding the big bouquet of "stars", sneakily went back to the attic to find Wen Sheng. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you to the book friend Happy Scorpion (2) for voting for the monthly ticket, and the evening photo was emptied and rewarded with a peace charm.
I still remember an old song:
I'm going to swear to embrace beauty
Pick off the sparkling stars
With my dreams as my companion
Don't be afraid
Look at the world with a cold eye
Let me fulfill my life's ambition
Pick off the stars in your dreams
