Chapter 1: Strange Tribe: 2. The Girl Under the Autumn Leaves
Uncle Guge said that it was a ballad about their ancestors, and that they were fighting against the enemy in order to defend their homeland. The Bogda in the song is where their ancestors lived.
Uncle Guge said as he glanced at me from time to time. I know the doubts in Uncle Guge's heart, how can I, who am not a descendant of Bogda, sing this song of the ancestors of Bogda? Actually, I don't know how I can sing this song, but when I heard Uncle Guge sing before, all the melodies and lyrics naturally came out of my heart.
Uncle Guge was able to speak Chinese, which made the members of the expedition feel a little strange. Li Lili said that there is no need to make a fuss, everyone in the village can speak Chinese. Li Lili said, why did Professor Luo have such a great interest in this folk song?
"In China, there are many ethnic minorities who have their own epics. Since they had no written language, everything was passed on by word of mouth. An epic poem sings about the origin of a nation and the history of a nation. What Uncle Guge sang just now is their epic. The Bogda in the epic is where they come from. It's just a pity that the song only sings about the steppe and the river, so it is not known which position on which steppe Bogda is located. Otherwise, there is a clear clue to go for. ”
Ruoyu interjected, "Bogda is Mongolian, which means sacred mountain. It doesn't specifically refer to any mountain. But in the legend of ancient Mongolia, there is such a mountain. Legend has it that it was where the gods lived, and no one ever went there. Due to the different legends, the exact location is no longer verifiable. ”
Ruoyu's words made me slightly surprised, and I faintly felt that I had underestimated her. Prepared, she can be in charge of an expedition team that includes a figure like Professor Luo, and she will never be as simple as it seems. At the same time, I also realized that Ruoyu's expedition team may not be as she said, and it is very likely that there are other purposes. Thinking of this, I don't want to think about it anymore. What's wrong with her, as long as it's just an investigation, even if it's out of line, it's not outrageous.
"So, isn't it very likely that the ancestors of this tribe were Mongols? ”
Hearing what Professor Luo said, Uncle Guge raised his head, "How can it be that when our ancestors were famous in the steppe, the ancestors of the Mongols were still herding sheep!" ”
Professor Luo was stunned for a moment and asked Uncle Guge what was the basis for this?
Ruoyu said, "Judging from the legend of ancient Mongolia, if this tribe is indeed a descendant of Bogda, it should have nothing to do with the Mongols." Because by the time the Mongols rose, this legendary Bogda had long since disappeared. So they could not be descendants of the Mongols. ”
If it weren't for Li Lili's repeated intervention, Professor Luo would have been constantly entangled. Li Lili said, "The main problem now is to solve the problem of food and housing. This is a top priority. Please put everything else on the back burner, anyway, there will be time later. ”
Due to the large number of people in the inspection team, Uncle Guge felt that there were only two rooms in the backyard of the ancestral hall in the village to live, so he brought our group to the village.
When I came out of Uncle Guge's house, I made a big circle and saw a hillside with a big tree on it. The body of the big tree looks like it is the size of four people hugging each other. Strangely, it was the height of summer, and the leaves of the trees were all red. Li Lili saw that we were all surprised, and said proudly, "How is it? Have you opened your eyes? Let me tell you, the leaves of this tree are red as soon as they grow. This tree does this all year round and does not lose its leaves. ”
At this time, I saw a girl dressed in white standing under the big tree. This girl stood there with her back to a tree with red leaves, like a beautiful painting. The girl remained motionless, staring into the distance.
When he approached, Li Lili also felt strange when he saw this girl in white, and said to Uncle Guge, "In my impression, it seems that I don't remember such a girl? Which girl is she from? ”
Uncle Guge said, "This is the best archmage of the tribe, you have never seen it. ”
As he approached the girl, Uncle Guge respectfully saluted her. The girl just nodded slightly.
Uncle Guge said that we are blessed today, and the last song just now was sung by the Archmage. Archmages rarely speak out, let alone sing.
From Uncle Guge's attitude towards girls, I saw that this girl had a special place in this tribe. Thinking of the last part of the song that Shi Cai heard, it is no wonder that there is an indescribable charm in the voice, and this female mage seems to be very cultivated. As I passed by the female mage, I looked at her deliberately. I saw that this girl was slender and long, with beautiful eyebrows, but her skin had a very special whiteness. At first glance, it's no different from an ordinary girl. If it weren't for Uncle Guge's introduction, none of us would have seen that this girl would be a mage, and an archmage.
Uncle Guge told the Archmage that I was the one who sang just now. The Archmage glanced at me. I found the archmage's gaze extremely soft. She looked at me, her face suddenly rippling like water, and her gaze quickly became startled. But she then reverted to her previous form. Although it was only a momentary change, I saw it clearly. I smiled at the archmage and nodded, saying, "Hello archmage! The archmage nodded, and suddenly spoke, "You don't have to call me Archmage, you should call me Aya." I blurted out, "Oops......". As soon as I spoke, I saw that strange expression on Aya's face again.
When Aya said this to me, it almost surprised everyone present. And my response surprised everyone even more. Li Lili hurriedly pulled me and said to Uncle Guge and Aya, "I'm sorry, my brother has never been in shape, but he has no disrespectful meaning. I will definitely educate this guy well when I go back, so that he will never talk nonsense again in the future. ”
Aya faced me and said, "Oops, yes, yes! ”
Aya's demeanor made my heart suddenly move, and I suddenly had an indescribable sense of closeness. I took a closer look at Aya, and I vaguely felt familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere. It's just that for a moment, I can't remember where I saw Aya. Judging from Aya's look on my face and her attitude towards me, she should know me. Perhaps, it's not just about getting to know each other.
Thinking about it, I suddenly felt a headache.
