Chapter 259: The Mountain Demon Moves
I think my grandmother asked me to go, and the things I explained must also include these strange Miao rituals!
Half an hour later, the whole Miao village was immersed in a sea of joy, they usually forbade drinking, but only on the night of such a ceremony, everyone can drink bitterly.
There are hundreds of jars of barley wine fermented for more than 50 years hidden in the cellar of the village, and when the jar lid is opened, a rich fragrance comes out, fragrant and refreshing.
The feast of Miao Village is not in the hall, but on the flat ground between several hillsides, a large group is gathered, a bonfire is lit, and the mutton is roasted while drinking barley wine.
Speaking of which, I would like to add that the people in the village usually don't eat meat, and only a few special festivals can break the vows, except for tonight, there is also the month when the girls gave birth (because they were conceived in the same month, they naturally gave birth in the same month).
After Yu Lina and I separated, they went directly to the banquet site, and I went to my grandmother's dark room.
The door of the house is ajar, and there are at least two people standing at the door of the house, but tonight it is empty, I think this is what my grandmother ordered!
"Grandma—" I shouted, and the man entered the house.
When I entered the house, I saw my grandmother standing facing the wall, not moving.
"Grandma—" I shouted again, and then she turned around slowly.
"Xiao Zhen! I'm going to teach you Gu art from today, and as for the secrets about this valley, I won't be able to tell you until the end of the Autumn Hidden Moon. ”
With that, my grandmother handed me an old scroll a few inches long.
"This is the most powerful Gu technique in our Miao Village, I will teach it to you slowly, these Gu techniques can only be mastered by the Miao master, as for those simple Gu techniques, the elders in the village will slowly teach you."
After speaking, she waved her hand and sighed softly, "You go and celebrate with everyone first!" I want to be alone ......"
It has to be said that the Jade Girl Village is a strange place, the people here lived at the end of the twentieth century, but there is a rather strict red tape and hierarchy, just like the slave era described in the history books, where the slave owner had absolute power of life and death over the effort.
My grandmother once told me that all the villagers of the Jade Girl Village must obey the orders of their creditors, and even let them die.
There are a lot of rules in Miao Village, because they are all women, and it is inevitable that they will be lifeless in the village, but only tonight, everyone can indulge once, drink a lot, eat meat, and dance recklessly.
Upon seeing me, the women let out hysterical screams.
"Master, you're here!"
"Come and dance with us, host!"
……
Even the girls who usually see me respectfully "flirt" with bright eyes.
Soon I was pulled into the middle of the crowd by a few people, and unconsciously writhed with them amid the rhythmic shouts of the people around me.
The most beautiful dance of human beings is to dance spontaneously and casually.
This is my "virgin dance", which is dedicated to this mysterious valley.
Due to the atmosphere, even Chen Laosan and Zhang Kailong grinned and sat on the side with their upper bodies shaking to the rhythm.
"Dance with me!"
As soon as I turned around, it was Yu Lina, who stared at me with a crimson face, and drank a lot of barley wine at a glance.
"Okay......" As soon as I finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed my hand, and suddenly a soft and warm feeling came over in an instant.
Yu Lina had never danced before, both of them were casual, and after a few minutes, she actually rested her head on my shoulder.
"Xiao Zhen...... What do you think of me as a person? She asked me softly.
"You? You're good! I replied casually in a panic.
"Am I pretty, then?" She asked, her voice still soft.
"It's ...... Beautiful and in good shape, especially your ......"
"You hate it! Who asked you and I got in shape......"
It wasn't until the second half of the night that the two middle-aged women, who had been following my grandmother closely, walked up to me and said respectfully, "Little master, it's almost time, shouldn't you go and rest?" ”
In fact, I am not sleepy, after eating the dragon egg, my physical fitness is getting better and better, and my spirit is improving day by day, and it is no problem not to sleep for a few days and nights, and at this time I am still intoxicated by the twisting bodies of the girls.
At that time, I was also interested, and asked the two of them, "Will you listen to me?" ”
The two of them didn't seem to expect me to ask such a question, and replied a little timidly: "Listen! Listen absolutely, otherwise you will suffer the pain of 'Ten Thousand Gu Possession', and no one can bear it. ”
I smiled, and I kind of understood what that meant.
As a mysterious ethnic minority distributed in the central and western parts of China, the Miao people are most well-known to outsiders for their Miao medicine and Gu art (in fact, they are the same thing). I think in every Miao village, the status of the Miao lord is supreme, just like the emperor of the feudal society, holding the power of life and death over his subjects.
"Everyone, be quiet for a while, the master of this Miao has something to announce!"
I cleared my throat and shouted.
Suddenly everyone fell silent, as if someone had suddenly turned off the sound of the scene.
"As the Miao master, I want to change the name of me - in the future, everyone is not allowed to call me "Miao Master" or "Little Master", just call me Xiaozhen! ”
After I finished speaking, I thought that such a democratic decision would cause cheers and applause from everyone, but I didn't expect everyone to kneel down all at once.
Xiaobi was quite close to me, about three meters, she raised her head lightly and whispered to me: "Little master, if you violate the rules of the clan like this, you will be bitten by ten thousand ants." ”
I walked over a few steps, grabbed Xiaobi's arm with both hands, helped her up, and put it next to her ear and asked, "What kind of rule is this?" Who decides? ”
Xiaobi smiled softly, and also whispered back: "We don't know, the clan rules clearly have 'no direct call by the name of the village owner', it is said that a long time ago, there was a person who violated this clan rule, was trapped on an oak tree, and then sprinkled a kind of herb powder on his chest, and then countless red ants crawled out of the ground, biting him alive for three days, and his painful wails wafted throughout the valley. ”
This is the first order I gave after being the owner of the village, but I didn't expect to violate the clan rules, so I had to count it, and the embarrassment at that time was indescribable.
I whispered to Xiaobi again, "Can you change your name?" ”
"This ...... There is no provision in this clan rule, and the Miao master has this power! Xiaobi replied in a low voice.
So I cleared my throat again and shouted, "I was wrong, I mean...... It means that everyone will call me 'little brother' in the future, and if so, call me 'little brother'! ”
Everyone slowly raised their heads and looked at me, it seemed that it was still difficult to accept, and after being silent for half a minute, the two middle-aged women first shouted tremblingly: "Little brother-"
Suddenly, my scalp was about to explode, and two middle-aged women in their forties and fifties called a young man who was less than twenty years old "little brother".
The others shouted in unison, "Little brother—"
At this time, suddenly there was a sound of the earth shaking from the west of the village, and I was startled and hurriedly asked, "Is there an earthquake?" ”
The two middle-aged women replied, "Little brother, it's not an earthquake, it's a mountain demon who moved over......
