When Xiao Jinyan came to the river, Di Linaza was sitting on a rock, her hands playing with her braids. When she saw Xiao Jinyan, she hurriedly stood up, "Brother Xiao!"

For this meeting, Di Linaza deliberately wore a set of festive dresses, silver-white lining, pale green robe, decorated with gems and silverware, her waist was full and she could hold it, and her skin was white as cream, she was very confident in this outfit, she originally thought that Xiao Jinyan would praise herself for her good looks when she saw her, but who expected Xiao Jinyan to just ask lightly, "What do you have to tell the girl to find someone Xiao?"

Di Lina said, "I can't look for you if it's okay?" said as she took out a cherry tomato from her arms and handed it to Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan still remembered the day before yesterday that she teased herself with stinky plums, and she couldn't bear to reach out to pick it up, and looked at the fruit with a wary face.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. ”

Xiao Jinyan snorted, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope." ”

Di Linaza's face was full of displeasure, "You mean, in your eyes, I am an abominable viper?"

"I'm just making an analogy, if it's a sudden girl, please forgive me!"

"Hmph, Xiao Jinyan, my aunt and grandmother kindly brought you delicious food, but you abandoned it like a cheat, it's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!"

As soon as the words came out, Di Linaza regretted it, she specially asked Xiao Jinyan to come out today, just to get along with him for a while, how could she not control her temper as soon as they met? Thinking of this, she quickly changed her tone, "Brother Xiao, I didn't mean that, I mean, can you accompany me for a walk by the river?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "This can be had." ”

He walked by the river, keeping a distance of three or four steps from Di Linazha, Di Linaza quickened his pace, wanting to walk side by side with him, Xiao Jinyan deliberately distanced himself from her.

"Do you have a walk like you?"

Xiao Jinyan slowed down and waited for her to follow. Di Linaza looked like a well-behaved girl, while walking, she introduced the scenery along the way to him, and occasionally met someone who drove a horse to the river to drink water, so she greeted loudly and introduced Xiao Jinyan by the way.

"Crescent Spring, this is the Han man who rescued you yesterday?"

Di Linaza smiled and groaned, "Exactly!" The man looked at Xiao Jinyan for a long time and said, "Yes, it's much better looking than Marge." Crescent Spring, you won't empathize with each other, will you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Having said that, Dilinaza blushed with shame. After walking for a while, Di Lina said, "Brother Xiao, can I ask you for something?"

"What's the matter?"

"You say yes first. ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly, "If you let me commit suicide, will I agree first?"

"That ......" Di Linaza hesitated for a moment, seemed to muster up enough courage, and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow at the Moon Festival, I want you to propose to me!"

"What!"

Xiao Jinyan was taken aback.

He had already heard Ali say that at the Moon Festival, Marge was going to propose to Di Linaza, which was also a well-known thing in the clan, but Di Linaza's opening was beyond her expectations.

"What?" Dilinaza saw his reluctant look, raised her head, looked at him and asked, "Am I pretty?"

"Beautiful!" Xiao Jinyan replied truthfully.

"Then you don't want to marry me?"

"I don't want to!" Xiao Jinyan still answered truthfully.

"Why?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't expect that Di Linazha's question was so direct. The Central Plains woman spoke very subtly, even if she had the intention in her heart, she would not ask so directly. But Di Linaza grew up on the grassland since she was a child, she likes to do things straight and follow her own thoughts, she feels that she likes Xiao Jinyan, so she boldly and directly spoke, which makes Xiao Jinyan a little overwhelmed.

"Because ......" Xiao Jinyan thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth, "I have a girl I like." ”

Di Linaza was stunned for a moment, and felt that her face couldn't be hung up, "Is she as beautiful as me?"

"Nope. Xiao Jinyan decided to lie, if it comes to appearance, Yu Wenshuang does not lose

Give it to Di Linazha, and she has a heroic spirit in her, which Di Linaza does not have.

"That's it!"

"My father promised me a dowry of a thousand horses, and if you marry me, these will be yours." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Why do you have to marry me?"

"Because, I don't want to marry Marg, the bastard who abandoned me in times of crisis. And that bastard, will propose to me tomorrow at the Moon Festival. ”

"Then if you don't agree. ”

"It's not as simple as you think. Although my father was the patriarch of Kubang, the clan was divided into three branches, and there were three elders, and Marg's father was one of the elders. Over the years, they have been at odds with the Hole people, and they have long wanted to break away from the Kupang. In order to alleviate the internal conflict within the tribe, my father agreed to marry me to Marg in exchange for unity within the tribe. According to the customs of our Kupang tribe, Marg proposed to me that he should accept the challenge of the young clan in front of the whole clan, he is the first warrior of Kupang, and I am afraid that no one in the clan will dare to challenge him. But you are different, you are an outsider, and if you defeat him, this marriage can be avoided, at least for a while. ”

Xiao Jinyan nodded thoughtfully, "You mean, let me make a shield for you?"

"Not exactly. Di Lina said, "Actually, Brother Xiao, these days together, you have saved me three times, I ...... in my heart I like you too. ”

When she said the last sentence, Di Linazha's face was flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito.

Xiao Jinyan was speechless for a while, looked at the river, and did not make a sound.

The water of the river is clear, the swimming fish are visible, and the flowing water hits the stones, splashing the waves.

"You have something to say!"

Xiao Jinyan let out a long sigh and said, "Girl, let's find another master!" With that, he jumped a few times and left the river.

"You ......"

Di Lina was so angry that she couldn't speak, "If you don't agree, I'll die to show you!" Xiao Jinyan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't turn around after all, and walked towards the camp.

Di Linaza tore the crescent moon decoration on her forehead to the ground, and returned to her tent angrily, where she met her sister Guli Reba, who was reading a book of "The Book of Songs".

Guli Reba is delicate, seeing that his sister went out in the morning with great interest, and now he is back with tears on his face, this sister has always been happy and angry, and when she encounters the slightest grievance, she cries her nose.

My sister is very arrogant about everything, even if she was married to Marge, she just laughed it off and didn't feel anything, but since Xiao Jinyan arrived, her sister seems to have changed as a person, either saying bad things about Xiao Jinyan, or trying to find a way to find Manu and Buda to inquire about Xiao Jinyan. When Xiao Jinyan rescued her yesterday, she didn't fall asleep at night excitedly, she pulled herself hard and told him how Xiao Jinyan saved her, Guli Reba knew that this stupid sister was moved by real feelings.

Seeing that he came back with this appearance, he had already guessed seven or eight points, so he comforted, "It's okay, it will pass." ”

When Di Linaza heard this, tears fell down her eyes, and she threw herself on her sister and said, "Sister, my life is so miserable." ”

Gulreba sighed, "Is there anyone worse than me?"

Di Linaza obviously didn't understand the meaning of her sister's words, and said, "What do you say I should do? Tomorrow Moon Festival, can you help me?"

"How can I help?"

Di Linaza said, "You help me think." ”

......

The second day is the Moon Festival of the Kupang people.

The sky was slightly bright, and the whole tribe was filled with festive spirits. According to the custom, the Kupang clan takes the family as a unit, prepares a large pot in the tent to make a fire, boils a pot of mare's milk wine, the elders and women of the family stay in the tent to greet guests, and the men, led by the eldest son, bring beef and mutton, and visit other families respectively. Every time they arrive at a house, they cut a piece of beef and mutton and put it into each other's cauldrons, and then go to visit the elders of each other's family and drink a glass of mare's milk wine.

Xiao Jinyan participated in the Kupang Festival for the first time, and followed Ali and Buda to visit the rest of the tribe, while Xiao Manu happily followed.

I can get a few pieces of cheese candy, and I am so excited to be bent in my heart.

After visiting a circle, it was almost noon, and when I returned to the camp, I returned to the camp tent, and the big pot in my house was also boiling the beef and mutton sent by other families, called Baijia beef and mutton, and when the meat was cooked, the family took it out and cut it with a knife to divide it.

After a drink, I will rest in the afternoon, and in the evening, it will be an all-nighter.

Late at night.

In the center of the tent, a bonfire has already been set up, and the people of the tribe have gathered together, singing and dancing, drinking and eating meat, so happy!

The girls in the clan also attended in full costume, led by an old woman, singing and dancing around the bonfire, accompanied by snow pianos and drums. The lyrics are nothing more than two kinds, one is to thank the heavens for the food given to the year, and the other is to express the yearning for love.

The two sisters, Gulreba and Dirinazza, also wore Kupang national costumes to participate in the Moon Festival, the elder sister looked very quiet, sitting on a felt next to the bonfire, and the younger sister completely forgot about yesterday's unhappiness and danced and sang with several Kupang girls.

Half an hour later, several drums sounded.

The patriarch Gule appeared with a beef mask, and everyone fell silent, Xiao Jinyan looked around the campfire, his hands raised above his head, as if praying something in the Kubang language.

The people fell to their knees with great devotion and prayed.

After praying, he poured a glass of liquor into the bonfire, and inside the tent, the bonfire instantly lit three or four feet high, and the harp and drums sounded, and the entire Kupang tribe was like a sea of joy!

At this moment, Marge suddenly stood up.

came to the center and looked in the direction of Di Linazha's family, and sang affectionately, "Blue sky, clear river, beautiful white clouds, my love!"

The voice sang higher and higher, drowning out the sound of the piano and drums.

Marge, this kid, although his appearance is a little rough, but he has a good voice, sings love songs, but also has a very good set, not to mention Di Linazha, many girls present looked at him affectionately.

After singing, he came to Xiao Jinyan and said, "Boy, today is a good day for me and the Crescent Spring, you can also have a song!"

The others also got acquainted with Xiao Jinyan, and followed suit, "Central Plains people, come to a song!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I can't sing. ”

"Then put on a show, anything. You can also make a minor tune in the Central Plains. ”

He looked up and saw Gul Reba in the crowd, holding a piece of white Hada in her hand, and saw Dilinaza in the south of the crowd, and at some point, picked a flower in her hand.

Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll take a while." ”

After that, he came to take a side drum, and while beating, he said, "There is a Dilina Zha from the south with a flower in her hand, and a Gul Reba from the north with a Hada in her hand, and Nazha with flowers wants to exchange the flowers in her hand for a Hada with a Hada Reba......

Xiao Jinyan breathed a long breath and said a long paragraph in one breath.

"Shh

"What a mess!"

There was boos at the scene.

Marge also felt that this show was nondescript, but when he heard the boos, he was more willing to watch Xiao Jinyan make a fool of himself, so he said: "Friend Xiao, today is my big day, your show is a little too sloppy." Then he asked them, "Do you say it will be okay?"

"No way!"

"Sing it again!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I really can't. ”

"On the day of my marriage, you pushed back, which is obviously not giving me face. ”

"Do you really want to sing?"

Margo also wanted to see him make a fool of himself and say, "Really sing." ”

Xiao Jinyan took a deep breath and said slowly to Marge, "Today is the Kubang Moon Festival, and it is also your big day.

"The night is getting cooler, the flowers are frosting, and you look out in the distance, exhausting all the twilight, and you can't forget it. ”
