Chapter 41: The Golden Arrow of the Miao Family
Yue Su's voice is very good, very magnetic, and his singing voice is very beautiful.
Hearing his singing, Du Shi Niang was stunned immediately, and said curiously: "What kind of song is this singing, master, how come I have never heard it, how can there be Shi Niang in the words......"
In this year, Du Siniang is known as the second in playing the piano and singing, and it is estimated that no one dares to admit the first. There are few songs in the world that she hasn't heard.
Yue Su reacted at this time, he was singing a modern song, how could the people of the Ming Dynasty hear it. grinning and said, "This is the minor tune of our hometown, and the name is Shi Niang." The song is called "Du Shi Niang", but how can he say it all.
"Shi Niang!" Du Shi Niang said in a low voice: "Why is it so coincidental to have the same name as me, I wonder if the master can teach Shi Niang to sing this song?" "Du Shi Niang's real name is Du Wei, and because she ranks tenth in the Qinglou, she is called Du Shi Niang. Because the name Du Siniang is too loud, the world only knows Du Siniang, and few people have heard the name Du Wei.
"Okay......" Yue Su was about to start singing, but heard Du Siniang say: "Master, drink the noodle soup first, otherwise it will be cold." ”
"Good, good ......" Yue Su was also really hungry, after a few sips of noodle soup, the taste was really good, I really didn't think that Du Siniang still had such skills.
After drinking the noodle soup, Yue Su cleared his throat and began to sing. "Under the lonely night, I sat alone in the cabin, and there was my Du Shi Niang in the cabin, waiting for my Lang...... Shi Niang, Du Shi Niang, holding a treasure chest in her hand, threw herself into the rolling Yangtze River, and never saw my Lang again, ah ......"
When singing to the end, Yue Su forgot to cut it and sang the entire lyrics. Du Siniang on the side listened attentively, and when she heard the depths, she seemed to feel that this song was to sing her Du Siniang herself again. Especially the lyrics at the end are even more heartfelt, this song is obviously singing her bitter blood and tears.
Du Shi Niang's tears burst out of her eyes, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. After Yue Su finished singing, he noticed Du Shi Niang who was sobbing, and hurriedly asked, "Shi Niang, what's wrong, is it that my singing is too ugly and scares you." ”
Du Siniang hurriedly shook her head, wiped her tears, and said, "No...... The old man's brother sings very well...... I just had a momentary touch...... I couldn't help but cry......"
Yue Su was so shrewd, she reacted immediately, she must have sung into Du Shi Niang's sadness, so she couldn't help crying. "I'm sorry Shi Niang, I don't mean ......"
"Sir, I don't blame you...... This song is good...... Shi Niang...... Shi Niang likes to listen to ......" Du Shi Niang's mood calmed down a little and said: "It's just that Shi Niang doesn't understand why the minor tune of the master's hometown is a ...... describing Shi Niang"
"This ......" Yue Su thought about it for a while, then thought about it, and said: "This song is very short, originally only Zhongque, when drinking the noodle soup, I remembered what happened to Shi Niang, and I don't know why, I suddenly felt it, and according to the tune, I made up the lyrics before and after. ”
"So that's the case, the master is really talented, this song Shi Niang will definitely remember it in my heart forever, wait for me to compose the tune, play and sing it to the master." Du Siniang said in a low voice. At this time, her cheeks flushed.
Yue Su's Xie Yuan was copied from him, how dare he call himself a great talent, just about to be humble for a few words, he heard a sudden shout of killing outside, and a shout also sounded outside the room, "My lord, the traitors are attacking the city." ”
Yue Su stood up, picked up Du Shi Niang, and said, "Shi Niang, the rebels are attacking the city, it is dangerous here, you hurry back to your home." As he spoke, he pulled Du Shi Niang out of the watchtower.
The people in charge on the east gate are mainly Yue Su, Ou Shuo, and Feng Debao. However, the latter two are basically tricks, and the weight of their words in the city is even inferior to Tong Xuan and Tie Qiu. Tong Xuan is in charge of logistics, and Tie Qi is in charge of heralding.
"Tong Zhou, you send Shi Niang back first, don't rush back, allocate grain and straw first, and prepare lunch."
"Yes, sir." Tong Xuan agreed and accompanied Du Siniang down the city tower. happened to meet Ruan Aoyue, who came in time.
After Ruan Aoyue came up, she didn't say anything, just stood by Yue Su's side. Yue Su began to command the enemy, don't see that the people haven't had time to eat breakfast, but the enemy is now, and he can't take care of this, and immediately start to block.
There are not many people in the city who can shoot arrows, but the rebels under the city are not much stronger, and these rabble have not been systematically trained, and there is no one in a hundred miles who can really shoot arrows into the city.
The fierce battle in the morning finally ended, and Tong Zhou brought the prepared lunch with the women and children in the city, and everyone ate to their heart's content, as if this meal was the most fragrant meal in their lives.
After lunch, the rebels launched another attack. The momentum of this attack was obviously not as good as the previous two times, and many rebels were grinding, as if they did not dare to approach the city.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of killing in the distance, and three dust and smoke were coming towards the rebel's rear wing. As soon as they heard the shouts of killing from behind, the rebels were startled, and they didn't care about attacking the city, so they turned around and ran backwards.
As the three puffs of dust and smoke approached, Yue Su could see clearly in the city that they were three groups of people, and the banners were the three seedlings under Yue Su's rule.
The news of the traitor's attack on Tongren City naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of Sanmiao, Fang Cai'er was grateful for Yue Su's kindness, and immediately invited the other two villages to discuss the rescue. Liutai and Gou Yao are both righteous people, and immediately agreed, Sanzhai gathered people and horses, and galloped to help Tongren in three ways.
As soon as the three Miao rebels handed over, Yue Su immediately realized that the opportunity had come. He shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, let's go out of the city together, kill all the rebels, and avenge the dead villagers!" ”
Now that the rebels have been in chaos, the people in the city can see it clearly, and Yue Su's morale is boosting, and everyone shouts along with it. "Kill all the rebels!" "Avenge the dead folks!" ……
Yesterday and this morning, he fought with the rebels twice, and the traitors who originally frightened the people are now serious in the big guys, and they are nothing. There was a unanimous opinion in everyone's mind, "Actually, they are nothing." ”
The city gate was opened, and the people of Tongren rushed out of the city with weapons, and Yue Su took the lead, holding spears, and killed the enemy. Ruan Aoyue did not show weakness, she was originally left by Yue Su to guard the city, but she strongly asked to change positions with Tie Qiu, and rushed out with Yue Su.
Tie Qiu squatted on the city, and when he saw the battle under the city, his mouth muttered, and he was sullen. finally waited for a chance to kill, and was robbed. Fortunately, he saw that Tong Zhou was about to go out of the city to help in the war, so he pulled Tong Zhou to the city, and rushed out of the city with a machete and teeth and claws.
In the first battle, there was no suspense, and the rebels were attacked from the front and rear, with more than half of the dead and wounded, and the rest all surrendered. Yue Su ordered, let the enemy surrender his weapons, squat on the ground with his head in his hands, and then go to thank the patriarch of the three clans.
*****************************************************
Liu Tai and Gou Yao came to Yue Su with a smile on their faces, but they didn't see Fang Cai'er, the Tusi of Fangzhai. Yue Su thought that Fang Cai'er was injured, so he hurriedly asked. "I don't know where Fang Tusi is now, he is not injured, right?"
"Thank you for your concern, Cai'er girl is not injured, but she went back to the village first." Liu Tai said with a smile.
Gone first? Yue Su couldn't help but wonder, since he wasn't injured, why did he go back first?
At this time, I saw Liu Tai suddenly take out a golden arrow from behind his back, present it to Yue Su with both hands, and said, "My lord, this is what Cai'er asked me to hand over to you." ”
"Handed it to me?" Yue Su was even more confused, took the arrow, and took a closer look, except that this arrow was made of pure gold, there was no other difference. So he wondered: "Liu Tusi, I don't know what Fang Tusi means?" ”
"Ah...... Hehehehe......" Liu Tai first burst into a kind laugh, but his laughter made Yue Su even more confused. Fortunately, the mystery was finally revealed, "This arrow is the golden arrow of our Miao Village Tusi family, generally speaking, it is passed on to the next Toast by the previous Toast before he died." But don't misunderstand, Lord Yue, Cai'er is in good health. The matter has to start from the day of Brother Fang Qi's funeral......" Then, he told Fang Cai'er about swearing at the golden arrow, and told Yue Su as it was. Then he said: "When Cai'er girl left, she said that her oath would never change, and this golden arrow was given to Lord Yue, which is considered a token." Whenever Lord Yue comes to Fangzhai with this arrow, he is the male owner of Fangzhai. ”
The last thing he said was also subtle, but the meaning couldn't be clearer, this arrow was Fang Cai'er's love token to Yue Su, no matter when you Yue Su came to Fang Cai'er with the arrow, my Cai'er would marry you.
How could Yue Su not understand, he was startled, hurriedly returned the arrow, and said: "Fang Tusi is so gracious, where can Yue Su afford it." That one...... Trying the case is a matter for the officials, and they really dare not accept this arrow. He also asked Liu Tusi to return this arrow to Zhao, and said that this friendship was received by Yue Su. Sanmiao said to help today, great kindness, I haven't had time to reciprocate. ”
Liu Tai stretched out his hand to stop Yue Su first, and said, "Lord Yue, the old man still has a sentence to finish, and it's not too late for you to listen to it first and then return the arrow." ”
"Then Liu Toast, you talk first." Yue Su had no choice but to retract his hand first.
"The custom of our Miao village is like this, after the woman's token is given to the man, the man must accept it, if it is returned, whether it is sent back by himself or not, it means that the man has agreed to this family affair and is willing to marry the woman. If the adults return the arrows now, then I can be considered to have understood the errand, and go back to tell Cai'er that I am ready to get married. Liu Tai said unhurriedly.
"Ah......" After Yue Su heard this, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time. What kind of rule is this, why do you still smash your own hands. What is meant by returning it to you, it means that I want to marry you. He clutched the golden arrow tightly, and it was not yet, nor was it kept.
Liu Tai saw Yue Su's embarrassment and said, "Lord Yue, this matter is over, and Brother Gou and I will leave." Whether this golden arrow is returned or not, the adults still think clearly, don't hurt Cai'er's sincerity. ”
After speaking, he and Gou Yao said goodbye together, got on the mount, and walked away with the Miao Zhai people. And Yue Su, still holding the golden arrow in his hand, stood in place stunned. He's completely out of idea now.
