As soon as the sun went down, when the sky was not completely dark, the Miao people came out of their respective houses in twos and threes, they were all dressed up, the men wrapped their heads with headbands, and hung the special tail part of the handkerchief outside the brim, like the hairpins of the girls, they wore pure black golden wind and thunder leopard pattern eleven-button cardigan or left kaftan shirt, on the shoulders, sleeves, and back of the clothes were embroidered with square patterns, and under the clothes were worn wide and wide feet of trousers, and the rich people would also wrap a half-silver belt around their waists. The older ones will wear a black cloak that is still embroidered with the patterns of birds, beasts, dragons and phoenixes, but more often it is still a wind thunder leopard.

The women's clothes are mainly blue, black, and blue, and then lined with warm colors such as red, yellow, and green, and the bottoms are knee-length pleated skirts, and the tops are cross-shaped "black hems" on the chest with large necks decorated with silver sheets, silver bubbles, and silver flowers, or the right blouse with fine lace, and the outer cover is satin embroidered or picked up apron. "Black pendulum" is generally inlaid with flower blocks all over the body, and is generally inlaid with prismatic flower blocks along the shoulders, without buttons, with cloth belts and belts, and the soles of the feet step on a pair of embroidered shoes that are blue or red or black.

Of course, it is indispensable to wear their headdress, every female Miao people wear more or less silver jewelry: the head is a spiral, or oblate, or four-edged protruding silver crown, silver flower or silver horn, and those rich villagers, but also wear silver bracelets, silver necks, silver ear ornaments, even the clothes are eager to be plastered with silver products, I don't know if they wear twenty or thirty pounds of silver jewelry will feel heavy.

Torches were lit in front of each house, not for lighting, but for some sense of ritual.

In the westernmost mountain, the sun is still exerting its last residual heat, dyeing the sky in the area into dark red, Su Jingchen, Youduo and Xie Chao went out together, Youduo just brought a pair of small silver horns, wearing a knee-length cyan pleated skirt, and a good-looking silver bracelet on her wrist, compared with those people she met on the road, her dress can be called simple.

Xie Chao suddenly stabbed Su Jingchen's arm, and asked him with a smile, "Brother Su, do you know the doorway of these Miao people's dresses?" ”

"Dress up, dress up, what's the doorway?" Su Jingchen looked puzzled.

"Oh, look at those little girls," Xie Chao pointed to a few girls who had just passed in front of him, causing a burst of eyes from others, he smiled hehehehe, Quan Dang didn't see it, "Did you see it?" What's the difference in the dresses they wear? ”

"Isn't that ...... Color? ”

"Yes, color, this Yunzhou girl, if she is not married, the skirt she wears is lighter in color at all grand events, and those who are married only wear black skirts," said, Xie Chao also looked at Youduo intentionally or unintentionally, Youduo's face had already turned red to the root of her ears, she lowered her head slightly, and just listened to Xie Chao's speech quietly, "Later, if you have a crush on a girl, you have to see what kind of skirt they are wearing, otherwise maybe your husband will directly pick up a knife and cut you." ”

"What is this?" Su Jingchen smiled bitterly, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?" ”

"It's not like it," Xie Chao put his arm around Su Jingchen, "Let's go." ”

The Miao people all talked and laughed, walking towards the huge square halfway up the village, they walked hand in hand, and when they met someone on the way, they naturally went to hold the person's hand, whether they knew it or not.

Su Jingchen was also infected by the joyful atmosphere of the crowd, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, trying to stretch his neck like a child and look around. Walking and walking, a soft, silky one

Si Nuanyi's hand suddenly grabbed his hand, he was stunned, and subconsciously turned around, it was a Yunzhou girl who was a head shorter than herself, the firelight reflected her side face, even through the silver jewelry and pleated skirt, her exquisite curves were still exposed, and the men around him who were about to move saw that the girl had already held someone else's hand, and it was not good to step forward again, but their eyes were still excited to burst into flames.

Su Jingchen just glanced at the girl lightly, nodded at her with a smile, and then turned his head to look around again.

As soon as he took a step, his other hand was also held, that hand was a little cold and rough, but Su Jingchen recognized its owner, it was Youduo, he turned his head and smiled at Youduo, his attitude seemed to be better than that of the girl just now, Youduo saw this, and the original pouting mouth was also put down, and the corners of his mouth resurfaced with a smile.

Xie Chao didn't know when he was squeezed behind Su Jingchen, he looked at Su Jingchen holding a beautiful girl on the left and right, and then looked at the uncle and aunt beside him, and muttered in a low voice, "My brother Su, you kid is really a good ......."

......

It was already completely dark, but the torches on the way to the center of the village were bright enough, and the cheers seemed to be louder as we got closer to the empty square.

A huge bonfire burned in the middle of the square, and the wood underneath was piled up layer after layer, and the flames were three feet high and splashed in all directions.

In addition to the bonfire, there are several relatively small bonfires around the square, and on the side of the square, there are countless wines, from pine leaf wine, bamboo leaf green, to the strongest "crazy medicine" in Yunzhou, Huaiyang's "Huaiyang Spring", and even the "Apocalypse Drunk" of the Apocalypse! Each kind of wine is piled up like a hill, and next to the wine mountain is a thick layer of banana leaves, on which are all kinds of fruits to eat, bananas, longan, lychees, and a kind of white dried fruit that Su Jingchen has never seen before, in addition to the whole chicken, the lamb being roasted on the bonfire, and the special fire roast beef of Fenglei Village that has been torn and placed on the plate.

Walking into the square, people's hands naturally parted, they either surrounded the city around the bonfire and circled, while singing and tiptoeing lightly, and most of the men could not wait to rush to their favorite wine, uncover it, and drink the whole altar directly.

As soon as the girl's hand was released, Su Jingchen was like being amnesty, he had already smelled the aroma of meat outside the square, and then immediately remembered the bowl of chicken soup that Youduo gave him before, presumably the meat would not taste bad today.

He couldn't wait to walk to the banana leaf table closest to him, saw a piece of roasted beef, and was about to make a move, but a burly man suddenly blocked in front of him, Su Jingchen was stunned, but he still straightened up, and smiled embarrassedly, Okay, let you do it first, I don't believe you can still eat the whole plate of beef.

But the man didn't touch the beef on the banana leaves, but looked straight at Su Jingchen with a serious face.

What's the matter, didn't you say that anyone can participate? Su Jingchen looked resentful, I don't just want to take a piece of beef, and I haven't taken it yet, right?

The man bowed respectfully, and suddenly spoke, "The owner of the village, please come over." ”

"Oh......" Su was stunned for a moment, then he remembered to look for Xie Chao's figure, he hurriedly turned his head, but he didn't expect Xie Chao to stand behind him, and Youduo was also standing quietly beside Xie Chao.

"Tut-tut," Xie Chao shook his head while slushing his lips, with a sad look on his face, "My brother Su, I only think about it now."

Looking for me? Were you just being held by two little girls, and your heart was fluttering? I thought you were a hero who wasn't close to women. ”

"I don't ......"

Su Jingchen was about to refute, but Xie Chao made a silent gesture first, saying, "Let's go, let's go, didn't the owner of the village call us?" ”

Under the leadership of the burly man, the group walked through the noisy and crowded crowd, and walked up several stone stairs, and finally came to the front of Shu Fenglei.

Uncle Fenglei is dressed no different from ordinary men, however, his clothes are mainly red, Mrs. Fenglei changed to a pure black skirt this time, but the silver jewelry on her body is more exaggerated, Uncle Yu is wearing a cyan long skirt, and the right side of the upper body is a cardigan, although he is reluctant, but he still wears a lot of silver jewelry, Ma Fenglei's dress is simpler, black cardigan and wide-legged trousers, and he doesn't even wear a headband.

Seeing Su Jingchen, Shu Fenglei immediately stood up, stepped forward with a laugh, hugged him, and said to the elders in the surrounding villages, "This is Brother Su Jingchen, it was he who brought back the Wind Thunder Leopard!" ”

The elders stood up in unison and clapped vigorously, with expressions on their faces as if they were looking at their favorite future son-in-law.

"Merry!"

"A table of talents!"

"Dragons and phoenixes among people!"

......

The elders chattered and said, mixed with some Yunzhou dialects, Su Jingchen smiled bitterly on the side, and from time to time he had to clasp his fists in greetings, and said in his heart that you people speak Yunzhou dialect, just forget it, where did you learn so many idioms?

After some praise from the elders, Shu Fenglei let Su Jingchen sit down, and even Xie Chao and Youduo were assigned a seat at the end of the table.

Su Jingchen's seat was next to Shu Fenglei, next to him was Ma Fenglei, and next to him, there was Uncle Yu, Mrs. Fenglei was sitting beside Shu Fenglei, raising her wine glass from time to time, and greeting the villagers who were toasting to her in the square.

Ma Fenglei saw that Su Jingchen just raised his wine glass and toasted Su Jingchen without saying much, while Uncle Yu just nodded lightly and kept staring at the bonfire in the center of the square.

It won't rain tonight, but the heavy clouds obscured the moon, and not even a trace of moonlight passed through, leaving only fire on the ground.

"I told you not to wear clothes of this color a long time ago, and you still wear them!" Mrs. Fenglei quietly pinched Uncle Fenglei's waist hard.

Shu Fenglei endured the pain, but there was still a smile on his face, he lowered his voice and replied, "Isn't this color festive?" How good? ”

Lady Wind Thunder stopped talking to him, and began to raise her glass again to greet the people in the square.

"Come, I must toast you today!" Shu Fenglei poured a bowl of wine for Su Jingchen by himself, and raised the wine bowl to Su Jingchen, "Drink!" ”

Su Jingchen's face was embarrassed, he really didn't want to sweep away Uncle Fenglei's excitement, but he didn't know how to drink, he was almost drunk just by smelling the wine, so he had to say, "Lord of the village, your wine is too strong, I don't know how to drink, I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I take a sip." ”

Indeed, it is the most powerful "crazy drug", Su Jingchen doesn't say a mouthful, even if he takes half a mouthful, it is estimated that he will have to go to bed tonight.

"So, drink this?" Shu Fenglei changed another jar of bamboo leaf green, and asked tentatively.

Su Jingchen smiled bitterly, and had to take the wine bowl, it seems that this bowl of wine today can't be avoided.
