Chapter 19: Celebration
After Mo Ran fought with Uncle Li, several groups had a discussion one after another, all of which were very exciting.
As the darkness has darkened today, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to end, and everyone is busy preparing for some bonfires.
Especially for some young boys and girls who have just come of age, this party will mean different things to them.
Everyone knows that there is a custom at the bonfire party, which is to help those children who have just come of age to choose a daughter-in-law, but this daughter-in-law still has to go through many tests.
The cyan green glow is a little crystalline, shining with charming green, Mo Ran leads the spirit to nourish itself, and now it is almost recovered, sitting cross-legged and looking leisurely.
The two battles in the afternoon not only made his muscles and bones stronger and stronger, but also had a few more spiritual veins in his body, reaching the number of twenty, and his heart couldn't help but be happy.
"Brother, I'll go and tell grandpa, I want to go out with you too" Xiaoqi leaned on Mo Ran's side, still looking dissatisfied, dragging him out of the village.
"Girl, grandpa said that it is very dangerous outside, this is not like us going out of the village to hunt beasts" The young man looked at the girl next to him and smiled helplessly.
This girl really went to tell her grandfather, it is estimated that she will definitely be locked up at home by her grandfather, and grandpa's temperament is not unknown, and she even has to take care of them when she goes out of the village to hunt beasts, let alone go outside, if you let grandpa know that she is going with this girl, she will have to break his leg.
"Isn't there a brother here, you're gone, the little finch is gone, and I'm not bored in the village alone."
Xiao Qi still didn't give up, pouted and said, touching Fang Tianque in his arms, his eyes were also reluctant.
"Girl, you are an adult, you will marry in the future, you are tired of growing up with your brother."
Mo Ran sighed in his heart, the little girl in the past, after a closer look, has grown up a lot, slim, but she still likes to be tired of him, and she doesn't know when she will really grow up.
"Who's going to get married!" Xiao Qi turned her head and snorted, her face slightly red, not knowing what she was thinking.
The night sky of Qingshan Village is very clear, the starlight is quiet, and a few traces of green light have fallen, just like a fairyland outside the world, hazy and beautiful.
Some of the party celebrations are also ready in the busy greenery of everyone, the roaring bonfire rises, accompanied by the sound of laughter from time to time, this is a rare celebration in Qingshan Village, everyone sits on the ground, talking about some trivial matters, a few children are feasting on the side, a bite of a beast's leg.
"Haha, these children, they have already eaten so happily before they even started" The village chief stroked his beard and talked happily with the old people on the side.
These old people rarely get together, but now most of them come out, looking at those children, they can't help but feel more relieved when they remembered their past.
"Look at their tiredness, they can only take advantage of this time to relax and relax," an old man laughed.
"After this time, I will go into the mountains to hunt beasts, and I don't know what the result will be" Some old men couldn't help but worry.
In previous years, those children who have just come of age, after the coming-of-age ceremony, will organize to hunt beasts in the mountains, there was a lot of casualties, these people have not gone out to see, even if many things know a thing or two, but when it comes to hunting beasts, there are not many that can really be used, so some casualties are inevitable, but they do not want to see.
"This batch of adult children is not bad, a few of them have been contacted earlier, so Qin Li needless to say, Da Zhuzi teaches his children very well, even if the children don't want to go, they will be dragged away by him, but Han Tong, as well as Tang Tian and others, are all good, and they have hunted a few times with the team."
The village chief looked at the children and named a few, which the hunters would tell him every time.
"Haha, yes, and Mo Ran, the little monster, don't worry about those now, a few of our old guys have a good drink today! It's been a long time since we've been together" The old men felt for a while, and it was rare to be happy.
At night, there is a lot of laughter and laughter, and the bonfire party has already begun, and there are some performances from time to time.
"That's right, your strength is getting bigger and bigger, count me if I lose, and I'll be punished for drinking"
Several strong men competed with each other on the field, laughing and drinking, but they didn't know whether it was to compare their strength or the amount of wine.
"Boom"
In the open space on one side, a few strong men did not play in the afternoon, because there was not enough time, and they felt unhappy enough. Now he has also made a small comparison to cheer everyone up.
"It's so fragrant" Fang Tianque in Xiaoqi's arms blinked and woke up, turned his head to look around, and stared at a golden fat chicken that was roasted with oil, with straight eyes and a greedy look.
"Little sparrow, don't think about it, it's not good yet, and I haven't eaten it yet."
The young man glanced at Fang Tianque, who was a thief and a thief on the side, and knew its mind when he saw it like this, and he roasted the golden chicken for a long time, but he didn't want to be swallowed by this sparrow.
Don't look like it's an inch now, it's no problem to swallow a chicken, and I've done it a lot on weekdays.
"Why are you so stingy, just give me a roast leg," the little sparrow said weakly.
"Come less, this is your kind, you really go to the mouth" Mo Ran looked at Fang Tianque's slanderous appearance, and deliberately buried it.
"There is no food, it's good to eat, besides, how can this chicken be considered the same kind as me, I am Fang Tianque, an ancient spirit beast" The little sparrow was greedy, but he still flapped his wings and said arrogantly.
"Come on, it's not okay to give you food, take one more to Xiaoqi, don't let me find out that you also ate Xiaoqi's roasted leg, otherwise the next roast will be you"
The young man smiled helplessly, pulled out the two chicken legs, threw them to Fang Tianque, and asked them to be sent to Xiaoqi by the way.
Just after a "whoosh".
Fang Tianque took the chicken leg and ran away, Mo Ran looked at the bird and was angry, before he finished speaking, the bird shadow was gone.
"Dead sparrow, don't let me catch you, I'll have to pluck your feathers"
"This tooth blade, I haven't used it since I made it, but it can roast a fat chicken for me" Mo Ran looked at the golden fat chicken in front of him, turning the tooth blade and roasting it constantly, a rich and crispy fragrance wafted out, and the oil juice was golden, which was really eye-catching.
"Good boy, it's very fragrant" Qin Li, Li Lei and the others saw Mo Ran roasting chickens alone, and most of them gathered over.
"Big guy, less greedy, more on the side, take it yourself to roast" Mo Ran saw everyone coming, for fear that they would rob him of his fat chicken, and gobled it directly.
"Haha, it's rare for our brothers to get together, come! Drink" Qin Li didn't procrastinate, he directly forked a beast's leg and roasted it, and brought a bowl of wine to Mo Ran, Li Lei and the others did the same, unceremoniously.
"Mo Ran, listen to my father, you want to go out of the village to the outside world?" Qin Li drank a bowl and couldn't help but say melancholy.
"Well, it's possible, but I'll stay in the village for a while" Mo Ran looked at the sky and took a bowl of wine.
"Don't mention it, it's rare at this time, you kid, it's still clumsy to fight me, look down on me" Qin Li said bluntly, patted Mo on the back, and laughed, although he said this, he didn't mind in his heart.
"How can I know, I have cultivated the spiritual method, and I fought with you, it was really my own strength, and I didn't hide it" Mo Ran said with a smile, not counting the spiritual method, that battle has indeed let go of his hands and feet.
"Da Leizi, why are you here, Erniu doesn't care?" everyone saw Li Lei and teased.
"What are you talking about" As soon as Li Lei was mentioned by everyone, he didn't have a tall image at all, and seemed to be shy.
"Haha, Da Leizi, you are an adult anyway, and you still look like this, no wonder the second girl ignores you again"
Several brothers on the field laughed when they saw him like this.
Half of the coming-of-age party has passed, and the final link is coming! Especially those children who have just come of age are the most excited, after all, there is only one time in their lives, and the elders in the village will choose a daughter-in-law for them, in fact, most of the children in the village already have a favorite object, but this time they will only be on the surface.
"Haha, everyone seems to have been waiting for a long time, and now that these children are adults, it is better to arrange arrangements for them, look at these children in a hurry" The old village chief stroked his beard and announced the next thing.
At the annual coming-of-age ceremony in Qingshan Village, when it comes to the bonfire celebration at night, those newly adult children can generously propose to the family they like and ask for their daughter-in-law, of course, it may not be successful, even if both parties like each other, they also need to pass the test of the woman.
If both parties like it, of course, this test is just a formality, and it will not be too difficult. If the men are interested, and the women do not say anything, the men need to pass the test, which is also for the sake of the women, in fact, the people in the village also probably understand in their hearts, and it is rare for a few men to grab one.
After all, we usually know something, and if this kind of situation really occurs, it will be compared through competition or some tests. Qingshan Village, the people are simple, if the man is strong enough, even if he is not the woman's favorite, after passing the test, he can also be favored.
"Sure enough, Da Leizi is the first, we can watch the show"
There was a cry from the audience, and as expected, this kid was also anxious, but they were all optimistic about him.
Everyone in the village knows that this kid has been chasing Mo Ran's second girl next door for several years, and he looks tall and mighty in front of others, but when he arrives at the second girl, he changes his appearance, which really makes everyone in the village laugh for a while.
"Erniu, how do I marry you, you say!"
Li Lei let go of his courage today, shouted at Erniu, he is not afraid of everyone's ridicule now, and he knows that carrying Erniu home is a big deal.
"You're a stupid big man, you've beaten Brother Mo Ran."
The second girl was stunned when she saw it, and she was angry in her heart, this matter should also be urgent, and she was really not afraid of other people's jokes.
"You're not going to be serious, are you?
"I know you don't dare" Erniu turned her head and snorted, but her eyes still looked at Li Lei, and the words just now were obviously joking.
Mo Ran looked at these two goods below, didn't he know in his heart that these two girls actually liked Li Lei, but they just didn't want to say it.
But this Li Lei is really, if Erniu really doesn't have this mind, how can she behave like this, scratching her head there vigorously, the real authorities are confused, and the onlookers are clear, making people speechless.
"Come on, Da Leizi, since Erniu said it, it's time for me to play" Mo Ran wiped his fists and stood up with a wicked smile.
"Mo Ran, don't come to really, I'm not like that Qin Li, I really can't take a few hits" Li Lei saw the young man who came before, and he was anxious on the spot.
"Come" the young man smiled, and immediately punched away.
"Mo Ran, you wait, don't"
Li Lei was defenseless at all, and was directly knocked away by a punch, and everyone also didn't react, thinking that Mo Ran was just joking, but now he directly knocked Li Lei away.
"Brother Mo Ran, you are really fighting, I am joking"
As soon as the second girl saw that Li Lei was beaten away, she didn't care about what she just said, so she ran over, and in the afternoon, she saw the ferocity of Mo Ran's fight, Li Lei was caught off guard and was shot away, and he may have been injured.
Seeing such a scene, everyone sighed for a moment, and then laughed, knowing a little in their hearts.
