The sharp soldier Lin Zhumin slowly climbed an old banyan tree six or seven meters thick, the big tree was full of aerial roots, it seemed that he wanted to camp on the tree. Six or seven meters high in the trunk of the tree, there was a large tree hole, and a leopard about a meter long in the hole rushed out in the twilight, jumped off the tree, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Several princesses screamed loudly in fright, but Lin Zhumin didn't pay attention to the leopard at all. The canopy of trees was dense and criss-crossed, and he soon weaved a large "bird's nest" with ropes and branches in the canopy about twenty meters above the ground. Then, lower the rope from the tree.

Mei Xue pulled the rope, grabbed the rope, and wanted to climb up along the rope. But after only climbing more than a meter high, his hands were weak, and he slid down with a huff, and he was deflated all of a sudden.

Lin Tao encouraged, "Rope climbing must go through rigorous training, and it requires a lot of arm and wrist strength, and this is not to blame you. "But the princesses are very strong, and they can't climb ropes, so they just climb the trees. After all, it is a descendant of the jungle tribe, and the banyan tree is full of aerial roots, and with the help of ropes and aerial roots, it quickly reaches the top of the tree.

Mei was the last to come up, Lin Zhumin was afraid that she would lose, so he pulled her up, and slapped her on her fleshy cheeks, praising her, "It's okay, like the descendants of the people!" ”

"Don't forget to take advantage of me!" Mei Shi was a little uncontrollable in front of everyone, grabbed his fat ear, and twisted it hard.

Everyone went up to the tree, and Lin Zhumin had already laid a large canvas inside the "basket", which was extremely safe, and there was enough sleeping space for eight people.

"What about the concubine?" Mei Xue glanced under the dark tree and asked. I just climbed the tree by myself and forgot about it.

"It's coming in the morning, you look to the right." Yu Songyuan said. Mei Xue looked at the tree on her right, and it turned out that the concubine was standing on a branch, staring vigilantly into the distance.

"What is it looking at?"

"You'll know in a moment, you call it back."

Mei Xue shouted, "Concubine, come back!" When the concubine heard Mei Xue's cry, she swooped back and squatted beside Mei Xue's legs.

Liu Guodong took out a pony lantern and lit it, and Su Gong took out the food and asked, "Can you start dinner?" ”

Liu Guodong said, "Princesses, don't be nervous. Not for the time being, we have to fight a battle first. ”

"Ah, who are you fighting, are there any animals coming so high?" Sugon looked around in fright. Mei also clung nervously to Lin Zhumin, while Mei Xue and Su Ji clung to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao.

"In the jungles of South Asia, if you camp in the trees, you have to be on guard against leopards and other animals in the winter. The leopard is alone and does not dare to attack us. This area should be the same as Cologne, with a group of baboons and a group of gibbons. The gibbon doesn't dare to attack, but the baboon has a certain intelligence, and it will come to the test. In a moment, it's up to you to repel them! Lin Tao explained.

"We ...... Will it work? Isn't this the territory of leopards? ”

Lin Zhumin also said, "You can definitely do it." This big banyan tree was originally the territory of the baboon, and the leopard just wanted to ambush in the hollow of the tree. As he spoke, in the same large canopy, there was a loud and strange cry of a baboon, which was obviously the leader of the baboon group deploying a battle plan.

Yu Songyuan put the collar around the concubine's neck and pulled it with his hand to prevent it from running around.

"Look, this thing is coming!" Mei Xue looked over Yu Songyuan's shoulders and looked at a few black shadows behind him like rubbing against him. Everyone paid attention to the fact that around the bird's nest, there were more than a dozen black shadows, which were tentatively and slowly approaching the bird's nest.

"What now?" Mei Xue asked.

Yu Songyuan said, "Take out your pistol!" As soon as Yu Songyuan finished speaking, Mei Xue reached out and was about to take out the gun from the holster on Yu Songyuan's leg.

"Stupid, where are you sticking your hands, you have two pistols in your own legs......"

Liu Guodong and the others were amused, and Mei Xue said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot." Then he pulled out both of his pistols.

Yu Songyuan said, "When fighting in trees and forests, you must pay attention to holding a gun only with one hand, and ensure that you can grasp objects at any time with the other hand to maintain your body balance." ”

Mei Xue put a pistol back into her lap, and the other three princesses also nervously held the gun in their hands, aiming at the black shadow.

A few baboons were trying to get closer, the nearest one was only two or three meters long, their teeth and claws, and their heavy breathing was snorting. Mei Xue held a gun and ordered, "Attention, prepare - fight!" ”

"Bang bang" gunshots suddenly rang out in the canopy, and the four baboons in front were hit. fell directly from the tree, and violent biting and screaming immediately sounded under the tree. The other three, apparently wounded, pounced on the nest in a rage at the same time as the shots rang out.

Liu Guodong, Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin threw their fists and knocked the three under the tree. Immediately, more violent biting, fighting, and screaming sounded under the tree. The herd of baboons in the canopy finally retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

"Why don't you shoot?" Mei Xue was puzzled and asked Yu Songyuan.

"Stupid, you're only looking out for yourself. Ride on my chest, make me watery, how do I shoot! Yu Songyuan patted her buttocks and said, one of his hands was pulling the concubine tightly.

He said "a face of water" instead of "a face of urine", but everyone still understood and laughed together, but none of the princesses laughed.

The concubine was clearly dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the battle. Seeing that the baboon had been driven away, he hummed a few times in a depressed voice.

"You hate ......" Mei Xue shyly twitched his nose, and the others laughed. Mei Xue didn't care about this, looked around vigilantly and asked, "What should I do next?" ”

"The alarm is temporarily lifted and dinner is available. You can also sing a song to relax your tension and make sure you get a better night's sleep. ”

"Are you sure these animals won't come back against us?" The four princesses covered each other, and Mei Xue and Xiao Suji quietly changed into clean clothes and hung wet clothes under the basket.

"It's uncertain in the jungle, but at least baboons generally don't dare to attack again. Therefore, there will not be much danger overall. Yu Songyuan tied the rope that tied the concubine to the edge of the "bird's nest".

Mei Xue leaned on him and sat down, and everyone began dinner.

It was the first time that the princesses had camped in a big tree in the jungle, and after dinner they chattered endlessly, making everyone sleepless. Little Sugi was still holding a leaf in his mouth and playing a tune.

Mei Xue said, "It's quite poetic to live in a tree at night. If you can't sleep for a while, let's sing you a love song. ”

Each of the four princesses plucked a few banyan leaves from the tree and held them in their hands, and while one sang softly, the other three held the leaves in their mouths and played beautiful whistles to accompaniment.

Mei Xue sang: mbouqhoxbinznyaenghennajaijhuezawzchaenzzazsaenq (I don't know why I saw your face, girl, Brother, my heart throbs) Suji: mboujhoxkuezgaenzrwibinzsawansaengqmaz (I don't know if it was originally owned or entrusted by God) Sugon: aijgepzawzvaexmbouqkeizhaegpawndokna (I put away my heart and never loved anyone else) Mei's: mbouqsuehaijvahyanxduejhawjnongxhongxhaej (I don't believe your words, deceive me and make me cry) ……

The song is very long, sung in groups of four, and repeated four times in a row.

The princesses' sweet voices, beautiful melodies, and unique accompaniments echo in the forest. Lancang language, Yu Songyuan and others can already understand and speak, and the beautiful music makes them intoxicated. Even the baboons whose homes were occupied and were beaten up by others, their restless feelings also stabilized.

"Don't just enjoy it, there are many beautiful folk songs in China, welcome young men from great China, and sing us a traditional Chinese folk song!" After Mei Xue finished speaking, the girls echoed in unison.

A northwest wind rumbled through the primeval room of the night, and Liu Guodong's head suddenly sounded a high-pitched and passionate singing, unrestrained melody, and he sang in a majestic, thick baritone affectionate whisper:

"My family lives on the high slope of the loess, and the wind blows from the slope, whether it is the northwest wind or the southeast wind, it is my song, my song. My family lives on the high slope of the loess, and the wind blows from the slope, whether it is the northwest wind or the southeast wind, it is my song, my song......

After singing, in the applause of the princesses, Liu Guodong introduced the lyrics again. Mei Xue sighed, "Lancang is very backward and there is no pop music yet. In the jungle area of Shangliao, there are popular 'Ka', as well as "Ka Sang', "Ka Tong", "Ka An", "Ka Taiden", "Ka Lak", all of which are traditional and primitive. But folk songs and ballads are very simple and flavorful. ”

"Let's listen to a few paragraphs." Lin Tao encouraged.

Xiao Suji said, "There are few people in Lancang, but there are many primeval forests, and we have produced a lot of folk songs in the work of clearing wasteland, planting trees, making drums, and building houses. If you like to listen to it, just sing a few verses. For example, when building a house, you have to cut down trees first, and you can sing the song of cutting down trees......"

Su Ji sang, "This tree is good wood, the branches are like phoenixes, the treetops are like a dragon's tail swing, and the gold and silver pockets are hanging on the trees, and the endless wealth is rolling in." ”

After singing, Mei Xue continued, "You have to cut down trees to build a house, so when you build a house, you have to sing the ballad of building a house." As he spoke, accompanied by the three girls, he sang, "A new house will be built, treasures will roll in, relatives and friends will gather, and happiness will be passed on to all generations." ”

Su Ji said, "There are many folk songs in Lancang, for example, when planting trees, they usually sing tree planting ballads. As he spoke, he sang, "Plant a strong root and a sprout on Sunday, a slender vine on Monday, a lot of fruit on Tuesday, a bright flower on Wednesday, a long stem on Thursday, a thick peel on Friday, and a straight trunk on Saturday." ”

Sugun said, "For example, when I was making drums, I would sing drum ballads. He sang and said: "In January, the drum was healthy, in February the drum was victorious, in March the drum village was on fire, in May there was a disaster, in June the drum family was harmonious, in July the drum was lucky, in August the drum was prosperous, and in September the drum was full of gold." ”

Mei said, "After the drum is made, it is not finished, after the drum is finished, the drum is escorted to the Buddhist temple, and the drum ballad is sung." After speaking, he sang, "I am the master of all drums, my voice is loved by everyone, the goldfinch bird will fly when it hears it, I bring prosperity to Buddhist temples, and I bring glory to the people." Drive away a qiē demon and monster, don't come again, happiness and auspiciousness are with me. ”
