Chapter 56: Candles in the Cave Room
Lim Ju-min added, "The most important thing is that Yongji and Yingya have joined the Naga group and are their own people. Here is completely our reliable rear, and this should never be doubted! ”
"Hey, are you finished, the bride is almost dressed, and you haven't finished yet?" Sugon walked out of the cave and interrupted them.
Only then did a few people notice that it was already dark outside, the bonfire had been lit, and the workers were busy around the bonfire, and soon the smell of meat wafted in, making people salivate.
The Grand Chieftain, Ryugi, entered the room and invited everyone to sit outside. Mei Xue and Su Ji were soon dressed up like two dolls by Su Gong and Mei Shi, dressed in festive costumes and wearing large garlands, surrounded by more than a dozen female forest farm workers.
Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin sat Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao next to them, and Long Ji stood up and sang a lot in Lancang dialect first, and his voice was still very loud. Yu Songyuan asked Mei Xue in a whisper in English what he was singing, and Mei Xue also whispered, "He is singing "Blessing Ballad" to bless our newlywed!" ”
Yu Songyuan was stunned, "What are you talking about, getting married?" You're not kidding? ”
Mei Xue seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled understandingly, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, this is for others to see." After Mei Xue's whispered translation, it turned out that Long Ji sang:
"I wish you two young people to respect and love each other, be as broad-minded as the sea, and speak softly to your wife, even when you drive chickens, you must say 'shhh' when you drive chickens, you must say 'she' when you drive dogs, you must say 'lotus' when you drive cattle, and you shouldn't beat and scold your wife."
"I wish you two to help each other and twist into a boat cable. Give birth to a daughter and be rich, and give birth to a son who is prosperous. Diseases don't come to harass, and demons don't come to make trouble. The husband's soul is possessed, and he goes home in time to sleep at night. The love of sharing the bed is deep, and only doing good deeds does not learn bad. ”
“…… I wish you all good luck and happiness and a happy and healthy life. ”
After Long Ji finished singing, accompanied by Lancang folk musical instruments such as reeds, drums, gongs, cymbals, etc., the girls and boys gathered around the four of them and the bonfire, holding hands, singing songs, and dancing folk dances, and the camp became a sea of lively joy.
Yu Songyuan felt that the Lancang people regarded the singing of folk songs and ballads as an indispensable part of their daily life. When people hum these folk songs and ballads, they express their love for life, praise for love, and yearn for a better life.
The folk dance of Lancang is very similar to the folk dance of the Dai and Zhuang ethnic groups in China. Even the Pata folk dance in the land of halal is very similar. Although the movements are simple, the group jumps and is very graceful.
At the end of the ceremony, the feast begins. Tables and wooden stools were set up around the campfire, and everyone sat down in order. Four wild boars, already roasted on the charcoal fire, the workers cut the pork with knives, and a kind of leaves together, one by one in front of everyone, fragrant roast pork, tender green leaves, intoxicating banana wine, so unhappy.
The workers of the forest farm took turns to come over to toast them, and the toast was: "Su three nights are slightly low!" ”
Yu Songyuan whispered to Mei Xue in English: "I haven't learned this word, what do they mean?" Mei Xue also whispered: "I wish us a happy wedding!" ”
He remembered that when he was in Yujiazhuang, after the engagement with Lin Xue, the "family law" that made him terrible was not so much an engagement as a classroom, a classroom for educating the young people of the whole family. I was stubborn and infinitely aggrieved as a negative teaching material.
At that time, the voice of admitting his mistake was still in his ears, and in less than a year, he couldn't help but become a "groom". At this moment, he suddenly fell into a trance. He closed his eyes, and the images of Lin Xue and Xiao Yuchan appeared in his head. He loves Lin Xue too much, and he loves Xiao Yuchan even more. This kind of love has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and integrated into life.
The two girls are so good, he can't think about which one his bride will be in the future? What about the other one? Now there is another Mei Xue, and if the three girls stand together, they can't tell the difference. He secretly made up his mind that he would only treat Mei Xue as his sister, and he must not make mistakes again and again.
After dinner, Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were sent to the "cave room" respectively.
This "cave house" is not simple. The cave room is big enough, and it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inside is the bedroom, and the outside room is placed two tall wooden barrels, and inside is most of the half bucket of boiling hot water, and the two tribal girls and the little maid Vivien, both taking off their small skirts, wearing only close-fitting clothes, are waiting for them to bathe. Yu Songyuan said to Mei Xue, "From now on, Lin Tao and I will live in one room, and you and Su Ji will live in one room." ”
The two tribal girls watched in shock as Yu Songyuan walked out of the door, "Princess? ”
Mei Xue didn't answer, she took off her outer dress, then took off her small clothes, and stepped into the big wooden barrel to bathe with the help of a tribal girl. At this time, Su Ji also walked in with two tribal girls and little Monroe with red eyes, crying and crying. It could not be clearer that she and the maid had been driven over.
Mei Xue said, "You all have to keep this secret, they are heroes, and we are just cooperating with them on their mission." They are engaged in the country, they have women, they are clean, and we should respect them. ”
"Yes!" All four tribal girls responded in unison.
Su Ji sat in the barrel and cried, "Sister, we have all 'married' them, they may leave Lancang in a few months, maybe a year later, what will we do?" What should the people of our tribe think of us? She pointed to the four flowery tribal girls, "What about them?" ”
When she cried and pointed at her, she touched the bitter hearts of several tribal girls, and several of them even sobbed.
Mei Xue chirped, "Shame or not, I really miss them, I stripped them naked and hooked them, look at your little bit of talent?!" She couldn't cry or laugh a little, she "got married", spent candles in the cave room, was hung aside by the "groom", and she felt uncomfortable and had nowhere to go, you didn't get the "benefits", so you were sad first.
Seeing that Su Ji also had a tearful face that was pitiful, he enlightened him distressedly, "Sister, they are more worthy of our love like this." If you can't be a lover, just be their sister. Anyway, I want to guard for him, when he comes to Lancang, I will wait for him, and I will only be his woman for the rest of my life. ”
"What if they are sent to other places in the world and never come to Lancang again?"
"Then I will guard him for the rest of my life, and I don't believe that I will never be able to influence him. I hope to give birth to a son or daughter for him, he just can't come, and I will wait for him and the child for the rest ......of his life," After speaking, he pointed to several tribal beautiful girls and said, "And you, if you really love them, guard them with me!" If you can't keep it, you will marry yourself! ”
Several girls saw that she was serious, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, only little Vivien raised her head and said firmly, "Princess, Vivien will definitely accompany you to the end!" ”
Mei Xue nodded her forehead, "Little one, when you grow up, you will thank the Champa flowers......"
After Yu Songyuan drove Su Ji and the two tribal girls away, he and Lin Tao got into the barrel, took a happy bath, and then lay down comfortably on the marriage bed. Lin Tao said regretfully, "Boss, we got married for nothing, isn't it a bit stupid for us to be so strict with ourselves?" ”
"Boy, remember what you said when you were subjected to the 'family law' in Yujia Village! I'm not going to force you to do the same as I do, but I think humans are not animals and we should learn to control our emotions. I'm not a false Taoist, but since I can't give them a future, the education I received since childhood makes it impossible for me to love them! ”
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Songyuan was woken up by the noise of baboons and wild boars in the forest outside the window, he opened his eyes and looked at his watch, six o'clock. Since he was a soldier, he has developed a habit of waking up on time at six o'clock every morning.
In early autumn in South Asia, average temperatures are still high. But in the primeval jungle in the morning, there is still a little coolness. Lin Tao also woke up, the two got up and walked outside the big wooden house, and just moved their hands and feet, Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin also got up. Seeing that Yu Songyuan was already doing activities, Lin Zhumin said in surprise: "Eldest and second, you can all get up on your wedding night, brother admires!" ”
Liu Guodong raised his leg and gave him a kick, "Holy shit, just such a little shortcoming, you can't finish talking." ”
It turned out that when Liu Guodong first had a round house with Sugong, it was when he was in the Banbahang Forest Farm. After a night of frantic fighting, the next morning they couldn't get out of bed anyway, and the two slept until ten o'clock in the morning. This matter made Lin Zhumin pinch it in the palm of his hand, and when he thought of it, he exposed his shortcomings, and stinked a few words from time to time.
On the contrary, Sugun was shy, but he was proud of it. Because, her charm can make a killing god like Liu Guodong linger in bed. This makes her very face-saving and prestigious among her sisters and clansmen. It is said that some elders also asked Sugong to give lessons to their daughters.
Lao Zhou also got up, saw that they were laughing, asked the reason, and also laughed with Da Lu, it turned out that this was an open secret. The five of them had only run half of their morning run around the camp, about a few kilometers, and Long Ji also got up and joined them. The armed workers of the forest farm also got up and joined the ranks of the long-distance run.
Many young female forest farm workers also got up early. They gathered around the pool and began to wash and cook as they watched them go on a morning run.
Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin are very professional, there is a trench outside the camp, and a road has run out along the outside of the ditch. Obviously, they were not as happy as they said, which made Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao very satisfied.
In the papaya forest in the distance, several wild boars eating breakfast were alarmed, squeaked, and quickly fled into the dense forest. During the war between Annam and the M Army, due to the indiscriminate bombardment of the Ho Chi Minh Trail by the M Army, the number of large animals in the Chang Son Mountains and the primeval forests in the northern part of Lancang was reduced on a large scale.
