On the Remnant Yang Ancient Road.

Nameless crouched on the horse's back and galloped, the pursuers behind kept chasing, dusty, covering the sky and the sun, the whole world was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and from time to time there were bows and arrows shooting behind him, at this time Nameless had felt that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, there were dense forests and weeds on both sides of the road, he held back the pain, jumped off the horse, the horse continued to gallop forward, and the pursuers behind were still chasing closely.

Nameless endured the pain, holding a dagger and chopping thorns in the vast wilderness, just walked not far away, the pursuers had returned, and searched nearby, suddenly a soldier found something? Let's come and see, the moment when Nameless jumped off the horse, due to excessive force, a lot of blood was shed, they followed the traces of Nameless along the bloodstains, as the soldiers approached step by step, Nameless's heartbeat at this time was also accelerating, in a hurry, all the grass around his station was cut clean with a dagger, took out the flint, and set the grass and trees on fire around, because it was autumn and winter at this time, the grass and trees were dry and flammable, and after a while, this grass had become a sea of fire, not far away, the chasing soldiers cried, scolded, The sound of running around was accompanied by the sound of crackling grass and trees burning, and Nameless sat down, tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes, gritted his teeth, and pulled the arrow off his back with an "ahhh

Then he bandaged it, and then staggered west towards the main road despite the pain.

Nameless strolling, I don't know where to go, the world has no place for itself, he looked at the sparse crowd on the road, didn't know where to go, thinking about the previous dominant, invincible life, and then look at the present, like a lost dog, Xia Wangqi is arresting him everywhere. So he decided not to take the main road, not to go to the big cities, but to go to the sparsely populated places.

If you are hungry along the way, you can find a wild beast to find a barbecue after all, and when you are thirsty, you will go to the tree to pick a few fruits, and if you are sleepy, you can find a cave to rest.

Walked for a few days, arrived at the Weishui River on this day, he fell from a cliff in order to cross a mountain range, pain for a long time, slowly stood up, walked about 200 steps along the narrow mountain road, out of the valley, suddenly opened, the terrain here is flat, there is a village located in it, the whole village is about 20 households, nameless into the village, just seen by a few people who are chatting, have run to tell each other, instantly the whole village is boiling, all around it,

An old man came out of the crowd, took the nameless hand and said, "We haven't had outsiders here for a long time, but Mr. is the first person from our village!" ”

The others chimed in: "Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Nameless asked, "Old man, are there any new changes here compared to before?" ”

I saw the old man said: "We used to rely on hunting to make a living, often because several ethnic groups because of a forest or a mountain are fighting, in the long run, the various ethnic groups are getting weaker and weaker, so the food production is getting less and less, and finally we have to die of hunger in large numbers, our clan used to have more than 2,000 people, and then because of the fighting between clans is getting less and less, now only about one-tenth of the current one. Now that our Huaxia tribe is unified, the various ethnic groups no longer fight with each other, and they can trade their own surplus things with each other every year, such as our food is not enough, other ethnic groups have more food, we have ceramics and so on, so we can avoid starvation and freezing to death through trading with each other. ”

Nameless said: "In this way, the country established by Xia Wangqi is to help everyone settle down, so that everyone can work together to realize the reproduction of my Huaxia clan." ”

The old man took the nameless hand and said, "Young man, you will live in my house in the future, tomorrow is the flower picking festival of our clan, and at the same time, we will treat you as a foreigner." ”

Nameless asked curiously, "What is the Flower Picking Festival?" ”

Patriarch: "The flower festival is all the unmarried young men of the whole clan all line up to stand up, if the women see their favorite young men, they will pick the flowers they planted themselves and then give them to their favorite young men, so that they will be married under the witness of the clan, this custom has been popular in the clan for hundreds of years, this year is particularly different, this year by a group of veterans to participate, the significance is particularly extraordinary." ”

Nameless slept at the patriarch's house for one night, and the next morning, a vacant lot next to the village was already full of people, about 20 young men stood in a row hand in hand, dressed in costumes, singing and dancing, and the villagers set up the sacrificial platform to wait for the patriarch to preside over the annual flower picking festival sacrifice activities.

After getting up, Nameless sat at the front desk with the patriarch, waiting for the opening of the flower picking festival. It didn't take long for the whole village to gather. I saw the patriarch come to the front desk, order the villagers to make offerings, and then take a stick of incense and burn it, and after bowing to heaven and earth, he inserted the burning incense into the incense burner. Then he turned around and shouted to all the villagers: "Today, our annual flower picking conference has officially begun, today I am particularly excited, first, our Chinese nation is finally unified, we can live our good life in peace and stability, young people, can also marry a good daughter-in-law to contribute to the continuation of our village for future generations." The second is that the soldiers and children who participated in our village's contribution to the reunification of our Xia country have also returned, and today all our villagers want to thank them.

The third is that there is a mysterious guest in our village, that is this young man, if the girls want him to stay in our village, you have to hurry! With that, the whole village burst into laughter.

The patriarch continued: "Now I announce the official start of our village's annual flower picking conference, before it starts? I'll cheer up our young men first, don't learn from me, I had a hard time at the time, I finally found a wife, and then I was defeated because of a fight with other villages, and I was robbed by them, and I've been single until now, and it's difficult to find a partner, and you girls, don't wait for me to be chosen, then it's troublesome. After saying that, the whole village burst into laughter.

"Now I briefly announce the process of this year's conference: 1. The young men have come to worship the heavens and swear to the heavens, you have to remember, after you swear today, if you want to live up to your own women in the future, not only will God not be willing to do it, but the people of our whole village will also regard him as an enemy. 2. The most beautiful girls in our village are also going to participate in the sacrifice to heaven today, and you worship God asking God to give you a little brother who has fallen down, but they have already fallen, and it is them. 3. The girls pick the flowers they grow and give them to their most beloved people. Fourth, the man's family gives a token, and the meaning of this token is that the men want to marry you and go home. Fifth, our most honored guests will be the witnesses for everyone. Sixth, at the bonfire party in the evening, everyone drank to their heart's content, danced to their heart's content, and danced to their heart's content. I'm talking so much nonsense, why didn't I have a round of applause! As soon as he finished speaking, there was a warm applause below, which lasted for a long time.

The process of the activity is like this: first the boys and girls have worshiped heaven and earth, and the activity officially began, first all the men danced a dance, and then danced next to each other, one by one, after the girls cried and picked the flowers they planted, and shyly gave them to the boys who had just performed.

After a dance music, the boys tried their best to show their dancing and charm, and it was over in a short time, and the moment when the boys waited for the girls to send flowers would be revealed immediately, and at this time, the patriarch saw that Nameless was so interested in this event, so he pulled him forward and said to the villagers: "Let's let this young man perform today." ”

"Yes," everyone replied in unison.

"I'll rub it, count you ruthless, doesn't this make me ugly? I don't know how to dance at all. I thought to myself.

So he said to everyone, "Maybe I'm going to disappoint everyone, I don't really know how to dance at all." ”

"It's okay if you can't dance, then put on a show." The lads scoffed. It is estimated that they are thinking in their hearts: "Anyway, if it is not our opponent, if we don't make a fool of ourselves, how can we reflect our competitiveness?" ”

Forced to be helpless, Nameless picked up a stick from the ground and said to everyone: "It seems that I can't do it if I don't perform, okay, today we have some veterans here who have retired from the army, so I'll show you swordsmanship!" ”

So, picked up the branch and danced, just started to batch horizontally, vertically, obliquely stabbed, more clumsy, it seemed to be like a gorilla dancing hand in general, everyone laughed, the girls were also happy, and slowly the speed accelerated, faster and faster, and gradually formed a sword flower covering his whole body, impermeable, while dancing and singing: "The wind is rising, the clouds are flying, the soldiers are fighting, returning to their hometown, there is a little sister in their hometown, picking flowers and giving them to me, giving them to me, giving them to me!! ”

In one go, everyone applauded, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

Next, the little beauties cried one by one, reluctantly picked the flowers they had worked so hard to plant, and slowly walked towards the boys, who were screaming frantically at this time and rushed towards the girls. The irritation of nameless watching from the side died. When they were concentrating on them, there were five girls holding flowers and walking towards them together, Nameless's heart began to tremble at this time, not to go, not to go, not to pick up the flowers they sent, not to pick them up, to stand there embarrassedly, the girls all handed the flowers in their hands to themselves.

Xin said: "It seems that I am very blessed, can I still marry the country in the future?" Spanning thousands of years, it's strange not to marry a country. Just thinking about it, the patriarch walked up and said, "Young man, our rule here is that the flowers sent by the girls must be received, otherwise they will not be allowed to remarry, and if you fail them, you will fail the people of our village. Besides, we don't have to be monogamous here, you decide which one you want her to be the main house, and which one you want them to live in the side house. ”

"Ahh I'm a foreigner, I don't have a household registration, and I don't have a house, what should I do? Nameless said worriedly.

The patriarch patted his chest and said: "The first question is very simple, just make a fake household registration, and the village still hopes that you will carry it forward in the future?" The second question is simpler, there are more than 20 households in our village, and each person can build a house by sending a piece of grass. ”

"Ahh But, but。。。。。。 Nameless blushed.

"Don't do it, let's take the flowers first!" The patriarch struck while the iron was hot, such a good young man, we can't let him slip away, so we will stay in my village to cultivate some high-quality breeds.

In desperation, Nameless had to take all the flowers in the girls' hands and was about to step down.

Suddenly, he said, "Stop." A group of soldiers came from afar, and Nameless's heart hung by a thread at this time, thinking: "Damn, thinking about running so far and finally running out of the range of Xia Kingdom, but。。。。。。 Hey, it seems that the only way to do this is to accept your fate. ”

The group of soldiers came over, only to see a leader said: "Tie up these girls for me and take them away, from today onwards, all girls aged 12-20 in the Xia Kingdom will participate in the beauty contest in the palace, you people have heard clearly, and when the beauty contest is over, the rest of you will be qualified to marry or marry, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of treason." The villagers were stunned, and the boys and girls all cried, and finally found the object of their affection, but in the end they were about to be intervened by the King of Xia.

After a while, the soldiers temporarily imprisoned the girls in a village and stayed for the time being, and the villagers were thinking about how to get the girls out. The boys said, "No, let's fight with them." ”

The patriarch shook his head and said, "No. It is we who take the hard loss. ”

So the villagers began to talk a lot, and Nameless, who had not spoken all this time, stood up.

Nodding at everyone, he said, "I have a way to save the girls out, don't worry, wait for my good news!" ”

After speaking, he strode towards the village office.
