After eating a snack, Wang Laohu said to Mu Huaying: "I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Mu Huaying said: "Don't tell me, you have other women here." ”

Wang Laohu said: "I want to go to Guichuan, some old friends, or one by one, I think at the beginning, when I first arrived in Anqing, I saw a strange woman, this woman's wisdom and Princess Shu are comparable, and she can ......" He didn't continue, the person Wang Laohu wanted to see was Gu Qianhu's wife, this woman who could always endure humiliation, Wang Laohu always kept her in mind, and when she arrived in Anqing, she naturally had to say goodbye to her.

Ouyang Yan performed the last Huangmei opera in her life in Anqing, thinking of Guichuan, there is no need to act anymore as a princess, when she left Anqing, she was still reluctant to give up her troupe, this master handed over her troupe, she poured a lot of effort, and now it is indeed difficult to let go of it completely.

Wang Laohu and his party continued to go west, their destination was Guichuan, but the emperor still had a task for him to complete, that is, to return to the Tujia family, enshrine ten Tujia girls as nobles, and build a martyr's shrine for them.

Wang Tiger did not stay long in Tujia, and he handed over the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine to Guchedun. White Tiger Soul also gave birth to a tiger cub with another breed of tiger in these days, although this tiger is not a purebred white tiger, but still inherited the skin of Spirit, but there are more yellow lines on the body, because it is to Guichuan, where it is also a high mountain dense forest, Wang Tiger thinks that it is also suitable for tiger dwelling, so he found the Spirit, but along the way for fear of disturbing the people, so they did not let them walk on their own, but held on the carriage.

The team behind had not yet arrived, because Wang Laohu did not bring anything, so it was relatively easy, and after all the way, they did not stay in other places for long, but went straight to Guichuan Qiannan.

Qiannan Laozhai.

This is a gathering place for the Buyi people. The clothes of the Buyi people are different from those of the Han people, and as soon as Wang Laohu and them arrived there, they became a rarity in their eyes. It is simply clear, the men's clothes are nothing, Wang Laohu cares about the women's clothes, these girls have a piece of cloth on their heads, strictly speaking, it is not a piece of cloth, but a hat, wide and wide, spread out to both sides, worn on the girl's body, it is also ten beautiful.

Some people can't help but take a look at them when they pass by Wang Laohu and other people, there is a street in Laozhai, and Wang Laohu can also see what they sell here when they pass by this street. One side of the water and soil, one side of the people, one side of the customs, one side of the things, the things of the Buyi village, especially the girl's house, look very like.

Mu Huaying and Ouyang Yan's speed slowed down. Everyone was walking along the way, and now that they were almost at their destination, the two of them could stop with peace of mind, pick up something, and talk.

Wang Laohu didn't bother them, just followed them silently.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of this silver ornament?" Ouyang Yan took a fancy to a silver jewelry, which was a piece of silverware hanging around her neck.

"Not bad, not bad." Wang Laohu said, "Qiannan is a lot of silver jewelry, and you will have many opportunities to buy these things in the future." ”

"I think this is good, Lord Wang, you bought it for us." Muhua Sakura Road.

Wang Laohu smiled, he still had to comply with this request of the two of them. The stall owner said, "A few of them are from other places." ”

Wang Laohu said: "We just arrived in this place, and this old village is very lively. Because in Wang Laohu's heart, he had the impression that there should not be so many people here.

"It's a coincidence that you guys came, today is the Qixi Festival, and our Buyi Love Song Contest is being held on the outer river beach." The stall owner said.

"Love Song Contest?" This made the two girls very interested, and they were immediately interested, "Let's go and see together." ”

Without waiting for Wang Laohu to speak, the two of them asked, "In what direction is this outer river beach going?" ”

"A few of you keep going, see where everyone goes, where do you go?" The stall owner said.

The two of them ignored Wang Laohu, so they walked forward together, and Wang Laohu said, "Can you two sing love songs?" Neither of them answered, and Wang Laohu thought he was bored, and said to the stall owner: "Your shop can be regarded as doing business sincerely." With that, Wang Laohu said goodbye to him.

The outer river beach is on the edge of a big river, and one side of the river has already been surrounded by Buyi people in costumes, for this love song contest, it is a local activity, and the Buyi people take it very seriously, so some clothes at the bottom of the box are worn out today. Ethnic minorities, there are many people with silver jewelry, and this Buyi ethnic group is also one of them.

Mu Huaying and Ouyang Yanyan had already arrived at the outer river beach, "There are so many people, didn't the prince say that there are not so many people in this place?" Ouyang Yan said.

"There are times when he doesn't know." Mu Huaying said, "This position is too far away from the platform, let's move it forward." ”

The two of them leaned forward again.

Wang Laohu and Wang Biao were in the back, seeing that the two of them leaned forward again, there were a lot of people, and Wang Laohu didn't follow, anyway, this is such a place. The place where he was standing was farther away than Mu Huaying and the others, but he could still see the situation on the stage.

The competition has begun, and I saw that the stage is not only a competition, but also a kind of communication, with a chorus, this kind of competition is the first time to see the king of the tiger, it is really friendship first, competition second.

Wang Laohu thought: If Princess Luo is on this occasion, maybe she can also go on stage and sing a song with them, but it's a pity that they are still a few days away from here, and they can't catch up with such a good thing, it's a pity. It's a pity, the singing on stage is still quite beautiful, although some are cappella, but it still gives people a wonderful feeling.

"Wang Biao, you see, this is the difference between Qiannan and our Jiangnan, most of the ethnic minorities can sing

Good at dancing, and there are many local cultural activities, we really live here, maybe we will participate in such activities in the future, you have to learn a few songs for me, and then don't look foreign. ”

Wang Biao said: "Lord Wang, when have I ever sung?" You know, you made me learn to sing, it's even harder than climbing to the sky. ”

"This is not a matter of heaven, the people here are our teachers, as long as we are willing to learn, there is nothing that we can't learn."

As he spoke, the game on the stage had begun.

This day is Qixi Festival, Wang Laohu doesn't know that it is a love song contest, but it is actually a blind date meeting in their village, there are lovers in the village, in this day to participate in the love song contest, under the witness of everyone, married, and these newcomers have already had a good impression of each other in ordinary times, but on this day, everyone was tested in the song, and after passing, the matter was given.

A girl came to the field and sang a local song, and soon, under the admiration of everyone, a young man came to the stage, faced the girl just now, and sang to each other. The two responded and received bursts of applause from the audience and the audience.

Wang Laohu also applauded.

Then a few men and women came on stage, and after a few songs, an old man came up, and the old man said on the stage: "Every year on Qixi Love Song Party, this year is different." Have you noticed, in our scene, I saw some fresh faces, everyone look this way. The old man pointed to the people in the audience. Everyone looked over there, and it turned out that among the crowd, the old man saw Mu Huaying and Ouyang Yan.

"They are distinguished guests who have come from afar, we invite them to come to the stage, what do you think?" The old man's words were welcomed by everyone, and the people in the audience welcomed the guests who came from afar with applause. They didn't know that because of their proximity, they were found out and got a different treatment.

Wang Laohu was not angry when he saw such a situation from a distance, Wang Laohu was not disgusted by the hospitality of the Buyi people, but just thought about how the two of them would end.

"Why hasn't the prince come yet?" Mu Huaying said, at this time, she hoped that Wang Laohu would appear to relieve them, she looked around, hoping to see Wang Laohu's shadow, but she couldn't see it, suddenly, her afterglow swept to Wang Laohu, she saw Wang Laohu's shadow in the vast sea of people, but she didn't see Wang Laohu have any action.

"The prince is there." Muhua Sakura Road.

Ouyang Yan said: "The prince can't come up until now, he just wants the two of us to go on stage, I can't sing, it's still okay to sing." ”

"Two girls in the audience, you also come to the stage and sing a song." The old man said.

Ouyang Yan is used to performing on stage, so she is not opposed to this invitation, she said: "Let's go up and sing a song." ”

"I can't." Mu Hua Ying said.

"Just follow me." Ouyang Yan took Mu Huaying's hand, but Mu Huaying was a little unnatural, and Mu Huaying went on stage under Ouyang Yan's hand.

The old man seemed to have an interview: "Where are the two girls from?" ”

Ouyang Yan said: "Anqing." ”

"So far, far away to our village, it is a rare guest, a distinguished guest, and it just happened to catch up with our love song contest, it is so rare, can the two girls come with their sweethearts?"

When the old man asked like this, Ouyang Yan was overjoyed, what she wanted to say was yes, because, in the distance, Wang Laohu was staring here, and he should be able to hear what they were saying on the stage. Unexpectedly, Mu Huaying replied first: "We are two girls, and we came to the village together." ”

The old man smiled and said, "The two girls are so beautiful, I don't know if there is a sweetheart in my heart?" ”

The Tanabata Love Song Contest is said to be a contest, but in fact it is a match between some men and women who have the same affection, the old man asks like this, that is, he wants to know if they have a sweetheart, if not, then there is the next question.

Mu Huaying was the first to reply: "Does this village even have to take care of these things?" ”

The old man smiled: "If not, you see that our young man from Buyi is so talented that he can match the two girls." ”

Mu Huaying said: "This is not necessary. ”

The old man asked, "The two girls have come so far away, do you have any plans to live here permanently?" ”

Ouyang Yan said: "This village is so good, we also want to be strong here." "This is a truth, Wang Laohu came to Guichuan, he lived for a long time, the old man asked like this, Ouyang Yan replied so casually.

The old man smiled and said, "That's right, two girls, you see that our Buyi guy can sing and dance, and he is kind-hearted, the two girls can really consider it." ”

"Thank you, today is the Love Song Contest, we can't sing love songs, but I can sing a Huangmei tune for everyone on stage."

"Huangmei tune?" The old man may not have heard of what Huangmei Tune is, so he has some doubts, but he still says, "Okay, yes, yes." ”

Ouyang Yan said to the audience: "We came from Anqing, and when we first arrived at the village, we happened to encounter such a big event again, so I will present my ugliness here and sing a Huangmei tune to everyone." ”

Although everyone didn't know the Huangmei tune, they still applauded warmly for the foreign girl.

Ouyang Yan is used to performing on the stage, this one board and one glance, this tune, Wang Laohu heard it clearly in the audience, far away from Anqing's Qiannan Village, can still hear this melodious tune, it is really rare.

"The birds on the trees are in pairs, the green water and green mountains are smiling, from now on they will not suffer from the slavery, the husband and wife will return their homes to you to plough the field to weave cloth, I will carry water to you to water the garden, although the cold kiln can be broken to shelter from the wind and rain, the love of husband and wife is bitter and sweet, you and I are like mandarin duck birds, flying in the world with wings."

Wang Laohu heard Ouyang Yan sing in "Tianxian Pei".

One of the most famous singing segments "Husband and Wife Return Home", she is here, and this public field sings this song in order to express her heart to Wang Laohu, and to let Wang Laohu know that she is willing to stay here with Wang Laohu and be a loving mandarin duck bird of a couple.

The old man said: "Sing well, sing well." I don't know if the girl used to sing opera? ”

"Don't hide it from uncle, I've been in the troupe before." Ouyang Yan said.

"No wonder, no wonder." The old man said, "I have a little girl in my family, and I will let her come and talk with you." Yan'er, you have a competition with distinguished guests from afar. ”

A Buyi woman walked up from the stage, this woman had a disc face, double eyelids, long eyelashes, a pink Buyi dress, and a pleated skirt underneath. On top of the hat, there are several beads embroidered on each corner, and on the chest, two silver locks are hung on both sides.

"What a beauty." Mu Huaying said in her heart.

Good mountains and good waters contain beautiful women, in Qiannan, a land with unpolluted mountains and beautiful waters, it is not strange to have a beautiful woman.

"Just now you said that you sang the Huangmei tune, and no one in our village can sing this tune, so let's compare the songs, how about it?" Luo Yan said.

Bige, this is their weakness, Ouyang Yan and Mu Huaying don't have talent in this direction, so Ouyang Yan said: "We first came here, it's hard to be warm, if we really want to compete with songs, we are definitely not your opponents, we will admit defeat." ”

The old man said: "There is no reason to admit defeat or admit defeat, I let the two girls come to the stage, there is absolutely no such meaning, I just want to tell the people in the village, this game in our village is not only our village, even friends far away also know, I called Yan'er, just want her to make friends with the two." ”

"It's good to make friends." Luo Yan did not object.

This is a love song contest, people who come to the stage often have a sweetheart or a favorite person, and they will come to sing to each other on this day, Luo Yan is such a beautiful girl, of course, there will be suitors in Laozhai.

At this time, a young man came to the stage, and Luo Yan looked at it, but he didn't have a good face to show him.

"Xu Tianba, what are you doing on stage?" The old man said.

"Today is a love song contest, everyone in Buyi can participate, and I will sing a love song to the girl." Xu Tian was domineering.

"But I don't want to sing against you." Luo Yan said.

"You're already on stage, and you don't want to sing with me yet, that's the only way, if you can't treat me, even if you agree." Xu Tian was domineering.

"I'll lose to you." Luo Yan said.

"Then let's pair up." Xu Tian was domineering. "The sun comes out to shine on the white night, the honeysuckle rolls down, I don't love the honeysuckle, I only love the sister and the good talent."

Luo Yan sang: "A frog in the dry well of the mountains and rocks, he doesn't come out of the well all day long, thinking that the world is so big, who loves toads and ugly monsters!" ”

Luo Yan sang naked, whether it was the people on the stage or the people in the audience, they could hear the meaning of the lyrics, Ouyang Yan and Mu Huaying also heard the taste, and they all smiled in their hearts.

After singing, Luo Yan smiled in her mouth, but Xu Tianba was not discouraged, and continued to sing: "The moon bends two hooks, two stars hang two ends, the gold hook hangs on the silver hook, and Lang's heart hangs on the sister's heart." ”

"There are two geese in the mouth of the pond, one east and one west, don't think that the two are good, if you come together and kick it."

"I miss my sister in the first month, I want to swim by the river in May, I want my sister to Chongyang in September, I want my sister to be depressed, Chongyang wine is full of fragrance, I miss my sister very much."

"There are no waves in one stone, no waves in the five lakes, no drunkenness in the weight of the wine, only scolding the few roots in my heart, and the strings of the duet are broken today, not all the way to the raccoon dog." Luo Yan's meaning has been clearly expressed. Everyone should understand it very well in her singing.

Mu Huaying said: "This Xu Gongzi, Miss Luo seems to be scolding you, you still don't get off this stage." ”

Xu Tian said domineeringly: "This is our Laozhai love song competition, I have long been interested in Luo Yan, she should know, why are you willing to agree to me?" ”

"It is not only you who are interested in me, but also many other people, do I have to promise you? What's more, your father bullies the weak and bullies the villagers on weekdays. How many families here have been bullied by your father. ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't promise me, my patience is also limited, today in this love song contest, I'm going to settle this family matter." Xu Tian said domineeringly, "I can't forget it, my brother is dripping blood in the center of the house, and the tears of the bitter people are rippling, and I will connect the marriage today." ”

"There are many men all over the world, and my sister has a strong heart, that person is not close to her heart, I have to wait for him to greet him." Luo Yan said.

Xu Tianba saw that Luo Yan had no intention of changing it, so he said to the people in the audience: "I put my words here today, if anyone dares to sing against Luo Yan, I will not finish it." ”

Mu Huaying couldn't stand it anymore, she said: "There are such unreasonable people in the small village. The song was right just now, Miss Luo's meaning, you also know it, and you are still stalking like this, isn't it a joke? ”

Xu Tianba glanced at Ouyang Yan and said, "You little girl who just came, what do you know?" Buyi has the rules of Buyi. ”

Mu Huaying asked Luo Yan, "What rules do you have?" ”

Luo Yan said: "Now he refuses to go down on the stage, according to our Buyi's rules, either another man comes to the stage to fight with him, then it will be consumed like this." ”

"What kind of rule is this, this is to see people's thick skin." Mu Huaying said, "You don't like people at all, you have obviously rejected him, doesn't he know?" ”

"He is the son of our village master, who dares to offend him." Luo Yan said.

"What else can be done?" Mu Huaying asked.

"Then knock him out of the ring, but no one in Lao Zhai dares to do this."
