Chapter 624: The moon is cloudy and sunny
Guan Qing's attitude changed and hid it from everyone, and the next thing was to prepare for the wedding.
The marriage of the chief's daughter was not trivial, and the idle islanders all began to take action, picking all kinds of fruits and flowers, making thickened and lengthened leaf skirts, and preparing dowry items.
At the same time, as a thank you, the tribe also gave Zhou Xuan many gifts, all of which were moved to his sailboat, and the waterline dropped by half a meter.
Zhou Xuan politely refused, and repeatedly took gifts outside, a thing that was too heavy was not conducive to navigation, and it might not be corrected when it rolled over.
In addition, I feel ashamed, no one wants to stay, how embarrassed to take so many gifts for nothing.
But the enthusiasm of the islanders is irresistible, and the glassy delicate corals, as well as the jars of pearls, which are constantly transported to the sailboats, are what they think are the best. Zhou Xuan's sweat came out, but Pei Shengnan was very happy to receive the gift.
"Katsuo, when we leave, we have to put these things down." Zhou Xuan frowned.
"They're happy to give it, why can't they take it?" Pei Shengnan disagreed.
"By the time we leave, these are burdens!" Zhou Xuan said unhappily: "Don't underestimate the primitive tribes, their ability to control the sea is no worse than ours, and they chase all the way, maybe they can really catch up." ”
Pei Shengnan was extremely frustrated, looking at those shiny rare ocean babies and swallowing violently.
It was difficult to see Guan Qing, there were twelve people around him, four bodyguards, four entourage, and four who were specifically responsible for eating, drinking, and Lazar. In addition, there are two sparring partners, in addition to marrying and climbing high branches, a strong physique is also the foundation for a long foothold, Guan Qing needs to eat hard and exercise, and it is miserable.
The three women who accompanied Zhou Xuan's house saw that others were happily busy, and they were a little impatient, Zhou Xuan took the initiative to let them participate, and the three women were very happy.
"Hee-hee, that's too bad, you want to create a chance for the two of us to be alone, don't you?" Pei Shengnan's fingertips pointed at Zhou Xuan's nose, and Zhou Xuan pulled him away, "Don't be narcissistic, so that we won't alarm others when we leave." ”
There is a great advantage on the island, the language barrier, when plotting, you can be open, not afraid of being listened to by others. It was very difficult for Zhou Xuan to get close to Guan Qing several times, and the other party's vigilance was not without at all, only when the sailboat left Guan Qing after becoming a family could it be over.
So, Zhou Xuan and Pei Shengnan also joined the team to prepare for the wedding, one was to study the escape route, and the other was to inquire about the taboos on the island.
In fact, I didn't ask about anything, but I figured out the route, which was right on the main island.
To the east of the residential area, the terrain is flat and there are shoals, but the sailboat is on the opposite side, and the physical strength of the three is not enough to circle the island, not to mention that there are heavy guards. Although there are dense woods to hide the shadows in the west, there is a steep cliff of several hundred meters at the end, with women and children, the highest risk factor, and this place was also chosen with the safety of the chief and others in mind.
Don't think about the south, connecting several small islands, not to mention the active period of local residents, and when they return to the sailboat, they will be caught a long time ago. After thinking about it, I had to board the boat by the same route.
"One-two-three, one-two-three-four."
At noon that day, Zhou Xuan finally saw Guan Qing, who had been forcibly fed a lot of meat, his little face had become round, and he was walking with his eyes closed.
"Guan Qing, what are you doing?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Master, I'm practicing walking at night, and now I've measured my room, and I can walk out with my eyes closed." Guan Qing said.
"What's the use of that, haven't you heard anything yet?" Pei Shengnan asked.
"Not yet, but it's strange today, everyone is working overtime, almost non-stop, as if they are catching up with some important holiday." Guan Qing said.
Zhou Xuan also noticed this phenomenon, everyone seemed to be in a hurry, and they would work with torches at night.
"Guan Qing, are there any important festivals before you get married?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"I guessed the same thing, but I couldn't ask anything, I didn't even say Feifei, but looking at my expression, I was in awe." Guan Qing recalled.
After saying a few words, Guan Qing was called away by the people who were looking for him, and on the grounds that the wedding was approaching, he was not allowed to meet Zhou Xuan during dinner.
It was difficult for Zhou Xuan to understand which festival the primitive tribe valued, and suddenly remembered that the chief also gave him some books, maybe he could find hints from them.
Some strange and simple lines are the words here, the rules are simple, but it also takes time to study, Zhou Xuan can't wait, so he roughly flipped through it and specially selected the patterns on it.
They are all daily behaviors, fishing, drying fish, making dried fish, eating fish, etc., they record the moments of life in this way. I looked through it and didn't find any hints.
The next day, when Zhou Xuan was still in his dream, he found that everyone began to get busy again, and they still acted collectively, and even the meal time was much earlier.
"Is it the Spring Festival?" Pei Shengnan rubbed his eyes and asked, at this time, the country is going to prepare for the New Year, and it is also the day that students and office workers are most looking forward to, and it won't be long before they can take a long vacation.
But of course, the island is not to prepare for the Spring Festival, they don't even know what the Spring Festival is, but Pei Shengnan's words gave Zhou Xuan some inspiration, time is pressing, and the answer must be found.
Compared with the perpetual calendar, Zhou Xuan didn't see what was special about today, the Gregorian calendar is commonly used in the world, and most of the islands are calculated by the rise and fall of the sun and moon.
The sun rises every day, but the moon is cloudy and sunny, cloudy and sunny?
With a flash of inspiration, Zhou Xuan hurriedly ran out to watch, unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he seemed to know the answer!
Back in the room, Zhou Xuan hugged Pei Shengnan excitedly, Pei Shengnan pretended to be shy, "People are not ready yet!" ”
"Today is the best time to do it!"
"Don't look at me arrogantly, when it comes to things, you have to take the initiative."
"No, Katsuo, you need to take the initiative to attack this time."
"I hate it, it's the first time for people."
"Who isn't?"
"Didn't you talk to Miao Miao for a long time?" Pei Shengnan was ecstatic, but Zhou Xuan's next sentence made her faint directly, and she used darkness to hide her embarrassed expression.
"Katsuo, I finally know that I have seen the moon many times in their books, indicating that the moon is their totem. It's the full moon tonight, so there's bound to be a big event here. Zhou Xuan said.
Alas, Pei Shengnan was amorous and asked weakly: "However, the bigger the activity, aren't we more likely to be discovered?" ”
"This kind of activity is not singing and dancing, but in reverence for the gods, it will be concentrated in one place, as long as the time is right, immediately flee!"
"Does Guan Qing know?"
"I don't know!"
"I'll tell him!"
"No, just write it directly to the door of his house, no one else can read it anyway."
Hahaha, Pei Shengnan laughed out loud and was covered by Zhou Xuan, because they still didn't know what ceremony would be held on the night of the full moon.
