Chapter 97: I'm willing to cooperate
The sun is sinking into the horizon.
The temperature at the top of the mountain plummeted, as if in the blink of an eye, it had entered the deep winter wax moon day, and the cold wind was bone-chilling.
I remember that a day ago, Xun Qianling and I were lying in a small tent, I would blush and get hot, but now, except for a cold heart, there was endless silence.
In just one day, the world fell apart.
Although Xun Qianling was lying on my arm and smiling, I could feel that her heart was sad, her smile was for me to see, she was a person who was unwilling to share her sorrows.
Her heart was crying.
I cried for the princess and my brother, but he only smiled at me.
There was a long silence.
Xun Qianling said in my ear: "Why don't we go back?" I don't want to see the sunrise, I don't want to murder Miao Qi, I'll go back now. ”
I asked, "Why?"
Xun Qianling said bluntly: "I'm afraid, the two of us can't fight the Miao family." Continue to follow them, and the end is a dead end. ”
can make Xun Qianling say the word fear, which shows that the Miao family is really evil, I believe in women's intuition.
But I can't go.
I can't let my brothers and friends die in vain, I must at least see the sunrise tomorrow in their place, and let them talk under the nine springs for comfort.
So I smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Miao Qi doesn't dare to kill us all, your Xun family's status in Jiangnan far exceeds their Miao family, even if Miao Qi is given a hundred guts, he won't dare to do anything wrong."
Xun Qianling whispered in my ear:
"If we die in this barren mountain, it has nothing to do with the Miao family. This event was organized collectively by the student union, and the Miao family was just kindly sponsored, casually dissociating the relationship. So, Miao Qi can harm us at will, we must leave, leave immediately! ”
I can't refute Xun Qianling, but I don't want to go, as long as I don't get up, Xun Qianling won't leave alone.
The most important thing is that you can't necessarily walk away!
If Miao Qi really wants to harm us, everything is in his layout, he must have been prepared, Xun Qianling and I can't get out at all, and fleeing will only accelerate death.
All I can do is to respond to all changes with the same, act as if nothing happened, follow the big army, and wait for the opportunity to move.
I told Xun Qianling this truth, Xun Qianling stopped chattering, and the two were silent again.
Lie down.
Gradually.
Night falls.
The night view from the top of the mountain is particularly beautiful, the starry sky is clear and dazzling, at least twice as many stars as you can see on the ground, and it seems that you can reach out and pick one off.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a bright moon hangs in the sky, like a large jade plate that will shine, illuminating the entire mountaintop as if it were day.
I was staring out of the tent when Miao Qi suddenly blew a whistle and asked everyone to gather.
There are only six people left, do you need to blow a whistle, just shout, you have to pretend to be serious.
Xun Qianling and I walked out of the tent.
The wind stopped, it was not as cold as expected, and it was bearable.
Miao Qi, the earring man, the eldest sister, Miao Miao, the four of them stood in the circle surrounded by the tent, all in good spirits, looking up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle, as if they would watch the sky at night.
After Xun Qianling and I walked over, Miao Qi said: "Tonight, the moon will light up the two peaks of the pontoon mountain, and a beautiful scene will appear. Every year, expedition members come to the summit at the risk of their lives to witness this spectacle. We are fortunate enough to be here today, how can we hide in the tent and sleep soundly. ”
"You want to see the locals perform the ceremony." "It is said that when the moon lights up the two hills, the locals perform an evil ritual here to make two blindfolded men walk down the cliffs. ”
Miao Qi said: "The local customs have changed, and there is no advent ceremony."
I'm slightly embarrassed.
My cognition of Pontoon Mountain is all from what I heard from others when I was a child, Miao Qi must have studied more than me, and he said no, that is, no.
Miao Qi went on to explain:
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ugly customs of the past were abandoned, and now the enthronement ceremony of the locals has become a marriage ceremony.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people blow horns to the other side of the canyon from morning to night, telling the people on the other side to come and pick up their relatives.
When the moon is full, choose a young woman to hold a wedding across the canyon, which means that the woman will be married to the other side, marry the people of heaven on the other side, and let her live a fairy-like life.
After the wedding, the woman is the person on the other side, which is equivalent to sending the person to the other side, which is much more civilized than the previous landing ceremony. ”
After Miao Qi explained, Miao Miao added:
"Actually, there is not much civilization, the chosen woman is very desolate, she can only keep the green light alone all her life, looking at the other side through the canyon every day, hoping that her non-existent husband can come to see her."
The eldest sister sighed:
"Yes, such a woman is very prone to depression, and after a long time, she will even go insane, really believe that her husband is on the other side, and then jump off a cliff and commit suicide."
The stud man grinned:
"There's no way, they are the wives of the people of heaven, no one dares to marry in life, who dares to cuckold the gods?"
When I saw the stud man, I was furious, and it was very annoying to hear him speak, so I opened my mouth and said, "Who said that no one dares to marry?" Lao Tzu dare! As long as you look good, you won't refuse! Lao Tzu doesn't care if she is a fairy or the wife of the king of Hades, let's talk about it when she sleeps! ”
Xun Qianling twisted me and said disdainfully: "Color words."
