On this day, Yi Dan saw that Xu Gui was worried in the room, so Yi Dan knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Xu, can I come in?"

Xu Gui came over in a trance and said, "Oh, of course, please come in." ”

Yi Dan asked, "Mr. Xu, may I ask why you have been sad for the past few days?"

Xu Gui sighed: "Hey, I'm blaming myself for my incompetence." ”

Yi Dan: "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Guidao: "My father died innocently because of the different political views of the father and son of the Annan Qu family. I want to go to Naqu Seungmi for revenge, but I don't know how to proceed. ”

Yi Dan dropped: "Mr. Xu, absolutely not. We are weak now, if you go to Jiaozhou alone to take revenge, you will definitely not take any advantage. On the contrary, it is easy to get stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate yourself. ”

"I also know this truth, but the revenge of killing my father is not shared, what do you think I should do?"

Yi Dan said: "Mr. Xu, I think you should go back to Guangzhou first." At that time, Zhu Liang recognized Qu Chengmei's father's status as a festival envoy, which made the Southern Han very dissatisfied. , I know that the Southern Han Dynasty has long had the intention of recovering Jiaozhou, but I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity. If Qu Chengmei dares to act rashly in the future, the Southern Han Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to recover Jiaozhou, so please Mr. Xu should go back to Guangzhou first and wait for the opportunity. ”

Xu Gui suddenly realized: "Well, you're right. As the saying goes, 'it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', and I hope that there will really be a chance in the future for me to fulfill this wish. ”

Yi Dan said: "It will be." I also hope that after Mr. Xu returns to Guangzhou, the misunderstanding between him and Ouyang Gang Leader will be resolved. Continue to assist the Ouyang gang leader and make the Knife Sharpening Gang stronger. ”

Xu Guidao: "Okay, definitely, I know that I wronged the Ouyang gang leader in this matter, and I almost lost his life." After I go back this time, I will sincerely apologize to Ouyang Gang Master, you can rest assured!"

Yi Dan said: "Well, okay, then I'll rest assured." ”

Xu Gui asked with concern, "Then where are you two going to go next?"

Yi Dan thought for a while and said, "I want to go to Annan first." ”

As soon as Yi Dan's words came out, Xu Gui hurriedly said: "What? You want to go to Annam? Then take me with you." ”

"No, I'm not going to Annan this time to make a living, but to find out something. Yi Dan said.

"What's the matter?" Xu Gui asked.

"Although Annan is in chaos now, I know that there were also many heroes there. I'd like to stop by and visit them and find out a few things along the way. Yi Dan said.

Xu Gui asked, "When will you leave?"

Yi Dan said: "Mr. Xu, do you remember that Yang Tingyi?"

Xu Guidao: "Of course I remember, he is the hall master of Jiaowutang, why did you suddenly ask him?"

Yi Dan: "That's right, he is the hall master of Jiaowutang, but I found that his martial arts are very similar to the martial arts routines and luck methods of the Knife Grinding Gang. I wonder if he has anything to do with the Knife Sharpeners, so I'd like to find out. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Gui suddenly realized: "Hey, what did I think, it turned out to be for this matter?"

Yi Dan looked at Xu Gui curiously and asked, "Yes, what's the matter?" It seems that Mr. Xu, you seem to know the reason?"

Xu Guidao: "I don't know the specific reason, but as far as I know, the Jiaowu Hall was originally split from the Tingfeng Hall. Jiaowutang's martial arts are naturally from the same as Tingfeng Tang, which is not unusual. ”

Yi Dan suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, I thought it was Yang Tingyi who robbed the Knife Sharpening Gang's martial arts." ”

Xu Guidao: "For thousands of years, Annan has always belonged to the scope of the Central Plains, and the north and the south are all one family, regardless of each other, so there is no such thing as robbery at all. ”

Yi Dan said: "Well, then I understand, but I still have to go to Annan, since Annan also has so many martial arts people, I try to get their help, so that the chance of success is much greater." ”

Xu Guidao: "Well, this idea is good, I know that there are many heroes and heroes in Annan, and it is said that in Changqingshan, Suizhou, there is a reclusive female knight, she likes to be with birds and beasts, her posture is soft, her martial arts are strong, and her cultivation is profound and mysterious." If you can win her help, I think you will be one step closer to your ambition. ”

Yi Dan said: "Yes? Is there really such a woman in Annan? I really want to visit her, what is her name?"

Xu Guida: "I have only heard about her, and I don't know who her surname is, I only know that she uses a peacock feather as a weapon, and the rivers and lakes in the area of Annan call her 'Feather Fairy'"

"Feather Fairy, what a fairy name, she must be a master of the world. Looks like I'm going to have to pay a visit to this mysterious senpai. Yi Dan said firmly.

At this time, Yi Dan heard the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, and when she walked out of the house, she saw Hui'er walking towards her.

"Miss Hui'er, what's going on? Why is it so noisy outside? Is it a pirate again?"

Hui'er said: "Sister Yi, the pirates have been driven away by you, believe him, they don't dare to come to Qiongya Island to spread wilderness now." ”

"Then what are you doing beating gongs and drums?" Yi Dan asked.

Mu Yinghui said: "Today is the third day of March, and every year today, it is the blind date festival of our Li people here. During this time, it is the fishing ban to recuperate, and people are busy looking for partners like fish. Everyone is singing and dancing, but it's lively, it's right down the mountain, do you want to see it?"

Yi Dan also said curiously: "Blind date festival? It sounds very interesting, then good, let's go and see together." ”

"Okay, you guys come with me. ”

As the sky got dark, Hui'er took Yi Dan, Youming, Xu Gui, Zheng Xuan, and the disciples of the Tianya faction to put on the festive costumes of the Li people, and danced and sang with the local Li people outside the thatched hut surrounded by a coconut grove.

Surrounded by bonfires on all sides, a Li man saw Hui'er coming, and asked happily: "Miss Hui'er, you are here, may I ask if Ling Zunmu Daxia is still in good health?"

Hui'er said: "Thank you patriarch for your concern, my father and mother are all very good." ”

The patriarch said, "Well, okay, you can also join us in singing and dancing?"

Hui'er said: "Okay, I also have this intention. ”

Seeing Yi Dan's unfamiliar faces, the patriarch looked up and down, and asked, "May I ask who these are?"

Hui'er arrived: "They are my father's good friends, they are all heroes on the rivers and lakes, I specially brought them to participate in our happy festival, I don't know if the patriarch agrees?"

The patriarch smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, Mu Daxia protects our people here and is someone we all admire." Since they are friends of Mu Daxia, they are also friends of our Li people. Come, ladies and girls, jump and sing and welcome our most distinguished guests. ”

Everyone sang and laughed, sang and danced, and danced more cheerfully.

Yi Dan asked Mu Yinghui while dancing, "May I ask Miss Hui'er, why are these people so enthusiastic about you?"

Hui'er said: "You don't know, my father often solves problems for them, and everyone likes him more." And my mother is also a Li person, and the custom of the Li people is that girls still live in their parents' house after they get married, and the children they give birth to are also raised in their parents' family, so I grew up with them, and I am also a Li person. Because of my father,. Everyone likes me very much, and every time there is a big festival, I come over and participate with everyone. ”

Yi Dan smiled and said, "Oh, I see, I understand. ”

Hui'er said: "Yes, you see they are dancing with bamboo poles, let's go and participate in it." ”

Yi Dan saw a row of Li girls, the two of them sat opposite each other on the ground, holding a bamboo pole in both hands. Following the rhythm of the old man's nose and the rhythm of the cheerful clapping of everyone's hands, the bamboo pole opens and closes rhythmically, and the young men can dance happily between the opening and closing of the bamboo pole.

Yi Dan saw that everyone was dancing happily, so he asked Hui'er, "Miss Hui'er, what do they mean by dancing like this?"

Hui'er said: "This is the Li people celebrating the harvest. And the bamboo pole dance that everyone gets together to dance when looking for a lover, you see them dancing back and forth between the bamboo poles to the beat of the music, and if they are caught by the bamboo poles for poor dancing skills, they will be punished for drinking. ”

Yi Dan said: "Yes, it's really interesting, but why are only the guys jumping?"

Hui'er: "Women beat men and jumps." This is a rule that cannot be broken. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Why? Why can men jump, but women can't? Do you have to divide men and women when you jump on a bamboo pole?"

Yi Dan's words stumped Hui'er all of a sudden, she thought for a while and said: "Hey, that's not the case, what kind of festival is today? Lover's Day, everyone is here to find a partner, so the object of a girl's dance must be a boy, otherwise only one girl will think that it is unlucky to marry."

Yi Dan was surprised and said, "Ah? There is such a statement, it's really incredible."

Youming on the side knew that Yi Dan wanted to dance, but he didn't hear what Hui'er said clearly, so he happily pulled his senior sister and said, "Senior sister, do you also want to go over and dance with them?"

Yi Dan: "yes, how do you know?"

Youming smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go together?"

Yi Dan remembered what Hui'er said just now, and was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. At this time, Pi Kaiyuan on the side grabbed Hui'er's hand and said, "Senior Sister Hui'er, will you go dancing with me?"

Hui'er said with some embarrassment: "Senior Brother Pi, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?"

Pi Kaiyuan: "Senior Sister Hui'er, in fact, I have liked you since I was a child, can you agree to dance with me?"

Hui'er: "You, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Pi Kaiyuan was a little shy when he saw that Hui'er wanted to welcome and refuse, so he said happily: "Yes, great, in fact, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I have a low status and no father or mother, so I am afraid that my master and mother will not agree." ”

Hui'er said heartily: "What do you care about what others think, as long as I agree." ”

Pi Kaiyuan: "But, I'm afraid of wronging you, after all, I'm a person who has no home and no father." ”

Hui'er: "How can it be? Isn't my father and mother your father and mother? They raised you, don't you see them as your father and mother?"

Pi Kaiyuan said happily: "Well, you're right, that's great, Hui'er, today is the happiest day of my life, let's dance together, okay?"

Hui'er said, "Well, that's good." ”

The two held hands and began to dance in the bamboo pole dance team.

Yi Dan saw that Hui'er and Pi Kaiyuan joined in the joyful dance hand in hand, and she couldn't help but say: "Okay, since you are so happy today, everyone doesn't have to worry about so many rules, let's have fun together." After that, Yi Dan took the hand of his junior brother Youming and joined the joyful dance.

The stupid Youming, some of whom couldn't find a rhythm, were caught in his legs with bamboo poles several times, but Yi Dan dragged him out. Yi Dan said as he jumped: "Senior brother, you have to find the right rhythm, otherwise you will be caught by the bamboo pole." ”

Youming was still stupid and couldn't find a rhythm, so Yi Dan shouted along the street beat: "One, two, three left foot, one, two, three right, one, two, three jumps, one, two, three jumps..."

Everyone repeats the rhythm of this dance, occasionally stepping on each other's feet, and the joyful whispers cannot be stopped.

I ate a lot of juicy coconuts and drank bowls of glutinous rice wine. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was slightly drunk, jumping more and more happily, immersed in the night of this joyful festival, in the sound of the waves crashing on the shore one after another, in this hearty and joyful atmosphere, spent this happy Li family March three lovers' day. Youming's mood was naturally happy, and when he was drunk, he took his senior sister's hand and danced quickly. On this island thousands of miles away from home, he was extremely happy to spend this wonderful night. (To be continued.) )
