Chapter 4 Upper Knife Mountain
Li Mengbai walked at the end, and while everyone was not paying attention, he bought a hairpin in his hand and hurriedly followed.
As they walked, many locals came in and scattered a group of them, forming a group of them in twos and threes.
Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi walked in the middle of the crowd, and Shen Lingjun looked at Ye Qingzhi with a smile: "It's decided?" ”
Ye Qingzhi knew that she had seen it just now, and she didn't shy away from it, so she nodded and sighed.
"That's it." Shen Lingjun stretched out his hand to hook her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Life is too short, and it's boring to worry too much, right?" ”
Ye Qingzhi lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, she had figured it out, if she couldn't solve the life and death Gu when she died, the two of them would die together; If she wants to have a chance to relieve Zhao Qi of life and death, there are still ten years before she is thirty years old, and she can have ten years of happy life, which can be regarded as earned. As Shen Lingjun said, it's not interesting to worry too much, she used to think too much, but she realized that it is the most useless thing to think about feelings.
Shen Lingjun patted Ye Qingzhi, looked at the sky in front of him, his dark eyes were far away, and said softly: "My father once said that you can't hide from what you should come, you can't ask for what you shouldn't ask, and if you live for a lifetime, you should live freely." ”
Ye Qingzhi smiled lightly: "Your father is very wise. ”
Shen Lingjun raised his hand and scratched his face, pouting and muttering to himself: "Those who have lived for a long time are like this." ”
Ye Qingzhi didn't hear too clearly, and leaned over a little: "Huh? ”
Shen Lingjun snorted and said, "No, I said that if you get married, what should I send?" ”
Ye Qingzhi looked at her suspiciously, what she just said was obviously not this.
"Good!"
The cheers and applause pierced through the layers of the dense crowd and spread for miles.
Ye Qingzhi and Shen Ling both walked over and were blocked from the crowd, unable to see anything.
Tang Tang stood on tiptoe and beckoned to the two of them in the innermost: "Here, here." ”
Shen Lingjun squinted his eyes and searched for a long time, but all of them were colorful, and he didn't find Tang Tang at all!
Ye Qingzhi's eyes were still sharp, and she raised her hand to the southwest and pointed: "There!" ”
Shen Lingjun jumped up directly with Ye Qingzhi in his arms, and landed beside Tang Tang and them lightly and unobtrusively.
Tang Tang held a paper bag, nibbled on a persimmon cake, and ate a mouth full of white. She handed over the paper package and asked Shen Lingjun if they wanted it?
Ye Qingzhi shook her hand, she didn't like sweets very much.
Shen Lingjun took one, and said with admiration: "It's still Tang Tang is powerful, as long as there is a lively occasion to watch, you can stand in the most advantageous position at the first time." ”
Tang Tang shook his head and shook his tail and smiled proudly: "This is also a talent!" ”
Everyone else laughed.
Yuejian ate a mouthful of persimmon cakes, she has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has been very fond of folk food recently, which is different from all kinds of delicacy in the palace, some things look simple and even ugly, but they taste very good.
Li Mengbai was beside her, and he had been thinking about finding the most suitable time to give the gift, and quickly make amends, otherwise he would feel like he was about to become a hedgehog if he stabbed Yuejian every day.
At this time, he forgot to pay attention to the image of the Yuejian eating, and with some white powder on his lips, he took out a fast handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.
What does it mean when Tsukimi blinks?
Li Mengbai pointed at the corner of her mouth: "Rub." ”
Yuejian bent his eyebrows: "Am I good-looking?" ”
"Uh......" Li Mengbai was dumbfounded.
Tsukimi smiled: "Otherwise, what are you doing with me all the time?" ”
Li Mengbai looked away in embarrassment, and was discovered!
Shen Lingjun crossed his arms and tilted his body, and said to Su Mu: "See, it's black!" ”
At this time, the crowd erupted in applause.
Shen Lingjun looked at it and saw that several strong men took turns to carry dozens of steel knives out, and three or four people next to him stuck two thigh-thick poles into the ground.
Then, the strong man also used a steel knife to chop wood to show the sharpness of the incision.
Shen Ling was puzzled: "What is this for, swallowing a big knife?" ”
"No, it won't!" When the play came, he also flew over, blinking: "When will I swallow so much?" ”
Su Musha shook his head: "They are going to perform a unique trick of being a mountain." ”
"Huh? A mountain of swords and a sea of fire? Luo Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth: "Isn't this the trick of Lord Yama in the eighteenth layer of hell." ”
"You don't know." Feng Zheng interjected: "This is the custom of the Lisu people, and it has to be performed every year. ”
Ye Qingzhi also nodded: "Well, the broad season is a very important festival for the Lisu people, and it has always been famous for its joy and fun, and its boldness. ”
Yuejian wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Ye Qingzhi, and smiled: "Interesting." "The scenery outside is interesting, and these people around them are even more interesting, each more knowledgeable than the other, as if there is nothing in the world that they don't know.
Shen Lingjun finished eating a persimmon cake and took another one from Tang Tang's hand.
Su Musha looked at her: "Not tired? ”
"A bite?" Shen Lingjun handed it over.
Su Musha shook his head, feeling tired just by looking at it.
Shen Lingjun felt that Su Mu was good at covering everything else, but there was only one point, he was too picky eater!
Tang Tang poked his head over: "Didn't you say that there is a show of singing around the bonfire?" ”
Ye Qingzhi hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Yes, but the singing of the Lisu people is not the same as that of your Miao people." ”
Tang Tang tilted his head, his big black and white eyes were full of curiosity: "Why is it different?" ”
At this time, Luo Cheng brought two bowls of cold noodles over, one bowl for the play, just now he was clamoring to eat, and the other bowl for Ye Qingzhi.
Without waiting for Ye Qingzhi to refuse, Zhao Qi took it over: "You didn't eat anything in the morning, you ate this." ”
Ye Qingzhi was helpless, but seeing that the jelly was light and not greasy, she reluctantly ate two bites with Zhao Qi's hand.
If there was no time to reply to Tang Tang, Tang Tang wrinkled his nose: "Nasty Central Plains people!" ”
Shen Changfeng chuckled and gave her a handkerchief: "White-bearded old man." ”
Su Musha and Shen Ling both looked at each other and smiled, and explained her confusion: "The folk customs of the Lisu people are open, and in the past few days, the man has a pipa in his arms and invites the girl to sing and dance in the wild, while the old people sing 'sing tunes', and when they are tired of singing, drink a bowl of water and wine, rest for a while, and then continue singing, and sing for a few days and nights before stopping." ”
Li Mengbai was speechless: "It's crazy enough." ”
Su Musha was noncommittal: "It's just a custom." ”
Feng Zheng kicked a steel knife at his feet, good guy, this is the real thing.
He stepped back, and when he heard that they were still talking, he said, "Anyway, you can take turns to rest later, and it won't get in the way." ”
"What rotation?" Tsukimi doesn't know much about it.
Feng Zhengdao: "The seventh day of the New Year Festival is a women's rest day, and women do not carry water or cook on this day; The ninth day was a day of rest for men, and on this day men neither carried water nor cooked, let alone went up to the mountains to hunt. This is a custom passed down from generation to generation by the Lisu people, and it is called the reincarnation of seven women and nine men. ”
The discussion was lively, and the steel knives over there had all been firmly tied to the two thigh-thick poles, and they had formed a 'knife ladder'.
Under the sun, the steel knife flashed with a white light, which showed that it was very sharp.
Tang Tang excitedly pulled Shen Changfeng's sleeve: "It's started!" ”
The onlookers behind are all looking forward to it, although it is a performance that will be performed every year, but every time it looks like the first time, both excited and hanging with a heart.
The barefoot Lisu man walked out, folded his hands and bowed to heaven and earth, and then raised his hand to the crowd.
Everyone was encouraged, laughing, and the scene was harmonious and lively.
The young man lifted his foot and stepped on the steel knife, but the sharp steel knife did not pierce the soles of his feet in the slightest.
Tang Tang's mouth opened into a circle, which was a little incredible.
Shen Lingjun and the others were also amazed, although they had kung fu in their bodies, they could not deal with a few steel knives. But the young man didn't use any skill, and stood barefoot on top of the steel knife.
Ye Qingzhi really couldn't eat it, so she pushed away another chopstick jelly sent by Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi chased after her unrelentingly with the mentality of fattening her: "The last bite." ”
Luo Cheng and the play were simply blind, the more the general mixed up, the less he looked like a general, I don't know how Vice General Luo on the boat behind him would feel if he saw it.
Finally swallowing this mouthful, Ye Qingzhi said: "His feet should have been soaked in potion since he was a child, so the soles of his feet are different from others." ”
Everyone nodded when they heard it, as long as it was what Ye Qingzhi said, they always felt that it was the truth.
The barefoot Lisu boy slowly climbed to the top of the knife ladder step by step, performing various actions on it. Finally, he picked up the five-colored flag on the top of the pole and threw it in all directions, folded his hands and said a sentence in his mouth, and then walked back step by step.
When he got off the ground, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, as if he were a triumphant hero.
The young men took turns to raise the soles of their feet to show everyone, and their feet were undamaged, not even a trace of blood was visible.
A girl from the Lisu tribe secretly promised to throw flowers on him, the young man smiled innocently, and the girl was shy and timid, but still mustered up the courage to look back at the past.
Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "The girl here is so bold. ”
Tang Tang was also applauding and asked, "Then wait a minute, is there still a sea of fire?" ”
Su Musha nodded: "At night, they will pile up a piece of red-hot charcoal on the ground, and then walk barefoot over the blazing charcoal fire like this." ”
"It's fun here." Tang Tang said happily: "Let's come and see the oil pot in the evening." ”
Shen Changfeng bent his fingers and tapped her forehead and corrected: "Going to the sea of fire is not going to the oil pot." ”
Tang Tang stuck out his tongue and grimaced: "Anyway, it's about the same!" ”
The crowd dispersed on one side, and gathered on the other.
Tang Tang Fei jumped up and looked at them, and beckoned to them: "Yaoyao, there is really a troupe over there, come here!" "Brush and pull, the person is gone.
Shen Lingjun now understands why Tang Tang can always occupy the position in the first row.
The troupe looks like it should be from out of town, and its appearance is slightly different from the local one, and they are performing tricks at this time.
Tang Tang stretched out his hand to block the crowd rushing forward, and he occupied a large open space.
Shen Lingjun and the others got in, and saw a big box in the middle of the venue, and a young and beautiful woman smiled at everyone, and then jumped into the box.
Tsukimi was puzzled: "What is this for?" ”
Shen Lingjun has seen a lot of people traveling from south to north, and this trick is not uncommon in her opinion, and said: "A big change of life." ”
