Chapter Seventy-Three: The Miao Family
There are many mountain ballads in southern Xinjiang, and every boy and girl will sing two sentences, but unfortunately Zhao Fei's five tones are incomplete, otherwise he can show his all-round ability by singing two sentences now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's also strange to say, before he crossed over, Zhao Fei could still sing some tunes, but after crossing over, he couldn't sing anything.
Zhao Fei was thinking, from the cliff of the mountain, slowly walked out of a bamboo row, there were two people, old and young, holding a penny on the left and right, slowly holding the water. The song came from the boat, and the bamboo raft was like a leaf on the wind and waves, bumping and swaying, but it never overturned. Is there really someone who crosses the river by boat, or does he use such a simple bamboo raft? It seems that either the artist is bold, or the duo is sent to death.
Seeing this situation, Mu Nianci's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to take a breath. Zhao Fei was very excited, he had already jumped up, shook his arms and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, can you give us a ride, we have to cross the river-"
The current was so strong that he shouted a few times before the boat could hear it. The two captains turned their heads, but they were a sturdy old man and a delicate girl.
The girl had fair skin and a beautiful face, but she was slightly fat, quite tall, and on the same level as Zhao Fei. Dressed in a blue-black placket and crepe skirt, the collar, cuffs, and waist are embroidered with five-color silk threads, which is a typical Miao girl's dress.
The boat slowly stopped, Miao Nu turned her head, blinked with big eyes, looked at them a few times, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said in surprise: "You are the Hua family?!"
This girl's Mandarin has a Sichuan accent, crisp and sweet, several people are very comfortable to listen to, Zhao Fei hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, we are all members of the Hua family!" Miss, we have urgent matters to cross the river, can you please make it convenient and give us a ride?!"
The girl closed her mouth, turned her head, and said to the old man, "Daddy, these two Chinese families are going to cross the river, do you want to take them?"
The old man had some gray hair, squinted his eyes, shook his head, and looked embarrassed: "The Hua family has always been insidious, so it's better to deal less with them!"
Zhao Fei couldn't understand their Miao language, but when he saw the old Miao man shaking his head, he knew that things were not good, and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, as long as you can take us across the river, I will give you as much money as you want to cross the river!"
This sentence angered Miao Nu, she slapped it on the water fiercely, and said angrily: "Daddy said, the Hua family is insidious and cunning, it's not wrong at all, just talk about money when you open your mouth and close your mouth, only your Hua family will do this! Help people and take money, if it is passed back to the cottage, Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks will laugh at us!"
Her voice was crisp, with a nice Sichuan and Shu charm, and she spoke quickly and quickly, and the old Miao man smiled and nodded, cheering for his daughter! is such an old man, but he has a young and beautiful daughter, it is estimated that he is also happy.
Zhao Fei didn't expect to meet a kind-hearted person, so he couldn't help but blush, and laughed embarrassedly: "Miss is right, helping others is the source of happiness, and I have always helped others like this." This time it's me who is too vulgar, forgive my sins!
The daughter glanced at Daddy, and the old man nodded slightly. The Miao girl asked for his consent, and then said with a smile: "Hurry up and get on the boat, but your horses can only stay on the shore!"
Although he felt sorry for Ma Qian, Zhao Fei still nodded, and said in front of the horse: "Ma'er, Ma'er, you find a place to live with good food and drink, and these hours are hard for you." After saying that, he slapped them on the back of the horse a few times, released them back into the forest, and the two of them got on the boat.
The bamboo row was extremely simple, as soon as he got on the boat, he shook and sank into the water, Mu Nianci was a landlubber, and his face was pale with fright, only Zhao Fei appointed himself as a little white dragon in the waves, and sat still.
The father and daughter slowly propped the boat, and the bamboo raft was like a leaf, gently drifting towards the opposite shore. Zhao Fei was on the boat, the sound of the water sounded softly in his ears, his heart was silent, and his body was as light as if he was floating on the water. The stone walls on both sides of the bank are towering, the green pines are lined up, and the beasts and apes are crying endlessly, which is green and quiet. The rushing river rolled eastward, spiraling to the sky. His gaze wandered, and he landed on the highest cliff, and suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?!"
High on the top of a cliff, hundreds of coffins are hoisted by ropes, and although they have passed for thousands of years, they have not withered. Miao Nu said lightly: "This is the hanging coffin of the servant, and it is the place where our ancestors are buried in the rock!"
Zhao Fei gave a thumbs up and praised from the bottom of his heart: "I don't know how these coffins were hung up, amazing, really amazing! If I can hang here in the future, watching the green mountains and green waters, and the rivers rushing, what a happy thing it is!"
Miao Nu heard that he didn't talk about money anymore, and she didn't talk so hatefully, so she nodded and said softly: "My wish is the same as yours! Not only you and me, I'm afraid everyone in the world has the same wishes!"
He hummed and sighed as he looked at the stone carvings on both sides of the river, his eyes full of envy.
The maiden propped up the oar with both hands, and sang with her lips open: "Sixty and seventy will die,
How many can one hundred and eighty?
The emperor also has a return date!
Who can never fall like a mountain that holds up the heavens?
Who can stand like the rock wall of the barrage?
I would like to be this Dongjiang water,
"Miao girl can sing and dance, and the mountain song will come when she opens her mouth, this song is elegant and lofty, and the scene is secretly combined, and it can arouse people's hearts the most.
Zhao Fei looked up at her and said enviously: "Miss, your singing is so good." Do the women of the Miao family have such a beautiful singing voice as you?"
The old man, who was on crutches into the water, said with a smile: "Hua Jialang, my daughter is a well-known lark, I don't know how many 'Mido' like her!"
"Daddy-" The girl screamed hurriedly, shyly stepping on her feet, the bamboo row shook gently, and Mu Nianci trembled with fright. Zhao Fei held her shoulder with one hand, was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Miduo, my family also has a lot of rice!"
Miao Nu leaned back with a smile: "Mido, this is our Miao language, in your Mandarin, it means the young man, not the rice you eat!"
It turned out to be such a Mido, Zhao Fei laughed and said: "The young man is 'Mido', so the girl should be 'Mi Shao'?
"It's not 'Mi Shao'," the girl said hurriedly: "Miao is called a girl, and it's called 'Michai'!
As soon as she was in a hurry, the smell of Sichuan and Shu came out, and Zhao Fei laughed happily: "I'm 'Mido', you are 'Michai', say it earlier, I know!" Mu Nianci quietly pinched his arm, gave him a blank look, and then looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance.
