Chapter 114 Ailao Mountain

In Dali, there was a lively "Open Door Festival" with the locals, and Xia Kai and He Yuanying walked into Ailao Mountain.

The two of them followed a small mountain path, zigzagging up from the foot of the mountain, coiling along the slope to the ridge, and extending to the depths of the mountain.

Ailao Mountain is a sea of forests, majestic and magnificent, but there are cliffs on the mountainside.

The Tea and Horse Trade Road leads to the heart of Ailao Mountain, which is mostly uninhabited. The terrain here is dangerous, and there is the momentum of "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open".

The climate of Ailao Mountain is changeable, and it can be said that "a mountain is divided into four seasons, and the rest is different days" special three-dimensional climate. Mountain bandits are often rampant here, and it is a place where soldiers and bandits must fight.

The caravan crossed the ancient road of Ailao Mountain, and hundreds of mules, horses, and thousands of merchants passed through here every day.

Merchants and caravans On this trade route, the most dangerous thing is to cross the dense forests of Ailao Mountain and cross the Red River with caravans.

Xia Kai walked along this trade road, admired the beautiful scenery, looked at the beautiful and lovely couple, and couldn't help but feel emotional, remembering the caravan years in his previous life!

Not only did he find his beloved, but he could also be reincarnated and reborn, which was a treatment that those immortal cultivators who had cultivated to the peak of the late Yuan Infant period could not enjoy!

Xia Kai was immersed in a self-satisfied reverie, and suddenly a group of people and horses came out of the valley in front, all of them were tall and strong, holding wooden sticks, and one of them was still wearing a festive groom's clothes.

They were stunned at first, and looked at the ugly groom together, and when the groom saw He Yuanying, he was stunned at first, and immediately even saliva flowed out, and commanded a group of people to rush towards the two.

At the back of the line, there were still people playing the shamisen, followed by a group of young men and women, dancing to their heart's content and singing to the melodious sound of the shamisen.

Xia Kai is an outstanding child cultivated by a big family, although he may not be able to "see more", but "knowledge" is a must!

He is now full of black lines, and he can naturally see that this team of people is not bandits, just like the legendary team of robbing relatives!

The lover is dressed as a man, and her style is three points better than herself, she is afraid of being robbed of the limelight, so she changes back to women's clothes, this time the joke is big, and she was robbed again!

Snatching relatives is an unmarried man, who will like an unmarried woman to his own home to get married, this custom is popular in many places in Dali.

But the vast majority of kissing is actually just for show, which is just a way of marriage negotiated by men and women.

Of course, there are also those who really rob their relatives, so they have to take a good look at the girl in advance, although the girl is unwilling to marry that guy, but relying on the wealth of the family, she spends money to hire a lot of people to rob her relatives, of course, she has to use money to take care of the girl's parents.

Looking at the groom's ugly face smiling like a flower, and directing the group of thugs with wooden sticks to come up, it seems that this kiss snatching is the groom's temporary intention.

Those men with wooden sticks in their hands were still quite measured, they all raised high and fell gently, the purpose was to drive away the people next to the girl, and then calmly snatch the girl away!

Xia Kai is already furious now, not to mention that they used a stick to do it to themselves first, even if they want to move their lover, they can't do it!

I saw that Xia Kai was like a ghost, his shot was like the wind, and he only had a few breaths of effort, and he knocked more than a dozen strong men to the ground.

Of course, Xia Kai saw that they were also bluffing, and he didn't hurt them with heavy hands, he used skillful strength, and looked at all of them rolling on the ground, but in fact, none of them were injured!

The reason why they fall to the ground is that the first reason is to make the employer feel that he has done his best, and the second is that they really dare not get up and do it again, lest others really hurt themselves when they get angry, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The bridegroom was going to rob a girl from the village at the foot of the mountain. But halfway through, he got angry and wanted to rob He Yuanying! The crime was in Xia Kai's hands! Although he ran down the mountain at high speed, he was still chased and punished by Xia Kai, but he didn't hurt him with a heavy hand.

In some places in Dali, there is a custom of robbing relatives, but only after the opening festival can "rob relatives", which can be roughly divided into three situations.

In the first case, the young man and woman have a relationship, but when the man comes to the door to say goodbye, the woman's parents do not agree. At this time, the young men and women privately set a good date and asked the man to organize people to rob the relatives.

On the day of the appointment, the man invited his partner to touch the woman's house late at night, pulled the girl and ran, and the girl deliberately shouted to her parents and family to show that she was snatched away.

Because the woman's parents were unprepared, this kind of snatching of relatives mostly went smoothly. After marriage, the girl and son-in-law came back to recognize their relatives, the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, and the parents could only pinch their noses to recognize this family business!

The second situation is that the girl has her own crush, and the parents insist on marrying the girl to another person who also likes the girl.

When two men liked a girl, one of them asked his companion to snatch the girl home.

Another man who didn't grab the girl, even if he got the news halfway, could only watch the girl being snatched away, and couldn't intercept it halfway, which is the rule of marriage robbery.

The third situation is that in a marriage that has been engaged, both men and women are face-saving people, but the man cannot afford the dowry, and the woman cannot afford the dowry, so the marriage cannot be completed in time.

At the same time, due to the cumbersome wedding etiquette and the huge cost, both men and women are interested in saving money, so they discuss it privately and adopt the method of snatching relatives.

This groom crossed the mountains and mountains to bring people to rob relatives, which should belong to a very small number of buying and selling marriages, and it is also under the guise of robbing relatives!

When the team came to the foot of the mountain, the sun went down, and they did not enter the stockade, but rested on the spot.

Xia Kai and He Yuanying followed, and the groom was punished by Xia Kai, and he was so frightened that he thought that Xia Kai was going to spoil his family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stammered to explain the situation.

It turned out that because of his ugly appearance and hideous face, it was difficult for him to find a daughter-in-law in the local area, but fortunately, their family was a well-known local rich family, so he spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy this daughter-in-law who robbed his relatives.

The sky became hazy, and a man appeared not far away, who was the father of the bride, and he waved, and the team followed him into a courtyard, and a woman dressed as a bride had her hands tied and sent to the hands of the team.

Xia Kai and He Yuanying did not enter the village, but watched coldly on the hillside outside, Xia Kai wanted to stand up and fight unevenly several times, but was stopped by He Yuanying.

This woman was obviously sold by her parents, although she may not be emotionally happy, but after marrying a wealthy husband, her future life may not be bad!
