I live in Miao Village

The beauty of Miao silver jewelry is large, numerous, and heavy. It always gives people the feeling of shining silver and dazzling. Few people know that Miao silver jewelry will oxidize and turn yellow after being left for a long time.

At this time, skilled craftsmen need to rub it with some special plant ash, and then wash it with a special silver washing water to be as bright as new.

Aunt Jinlan is a craftsman who has mastered this exquisite craft.

She has a huge yard, many houses, and she is a warm-hearted person. She lives not far from Changchun Slope, so most of the girls who are going to participate in the Lusheng Festival will gather at her home.

As soon as Xue Yi, Adeihua, and Ah Ying entered, they saw many girls sitting in the yard chatting, arranging their makeup, trying on clothes, covering their mouths and smiling cleverly from time to time.

"Adehua, you're here. Your mother is by the silver laundering pool in the backyard and told you to come over when you come."

"Okay, how about you? Are you ready?"

"I'm getting better soon, she still has to wait." Two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls were sitting in the corridor, seeing Xue Yi whispering something to each other, they stood up and said hello to Xue Yi.

"Hello!" Xue Yi didn't know how to communicate with girls of this age, but fortunately, the girls in the village were familiar with each other, and they would gather around her whenever they saw her.

"I heard that you saved Brother Jin and Cheng Wen two days ago, and you can also dispel Gu. Is it true? It's amazing!"

"Mr. Xue, are you from the city? How long are you going to stay with us? I heard Caixiang say you are amazing."

"I don't have it. I just brought medicine. I came from Beijing. I want to stay... I don't know. A day is a day." Xue Yi has never been surrounded by so many young and beautiful Miao girls. , a little embarrassed.

But this kind of feeling is very good. Everyone is very enthusiastic, which makes Xue Yi feel at home. After a brief chat, Xue Yi found that these girls are not very old, most of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, the youngest is only 13 years old, and the oldest is only 20 years old. 19 years old, like her age, [-] years old, is considered young in the original world, but in front of these girls, she already belongs to an old girl.

"Are you all going to sing folk songs?" Xue Yi asked a 14-year-old girl.

"Yes." The little girl replied.

"Then if you really want to sing back as a lover, what should you do? Are you going to get married?"

"That's right!" The little girl was full of curiosity, and it seemed strange that it was Xue Yi.

This... is too young!

Xue's words were choked in her neck, and a girl next to her laughed and said, "Ms. Xue, she lied to you. She is so young, so she has to wait another two years."

Xue Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and heard another girl say: "How is it impossible? Xiao Lihua likes Brother Shengwu so much. If Brother Shengwu comes to sing folk songs with her, you can see whether she will marry, hahaha..."

The girls chattered and laughed together, Xiao Lihua's cheeks were blushing, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, after a while, she waved her fist and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, there is nothing!" She chased her sisters to beat her.

"Yes, yes, no, I don't know who is going to take a long way every day and pass by Brother Shengwu's house."

"No, that's passing by, passing by!"

"Hahaha..." Adaihua was a little older and didn't want to fight with them. Seeing Xue Yi smiling gracefully, she suddenly thought of something and asked her: "Mr. Xue, you are so young, are you not married yet? Do you have a sweetheart?" ?"

Sweetheart?Such a meaningful word, Xue Yi shook his head, "No."

"Then have you taken a fancy to any young man in our village? If so, tell me. Don't worry, I'll help you chase him."

"No, no, no." Xue Yi was afraid that they would make fun of her, so he shook his head repeatedly. "No thanks."

It's a pity that the other girls have already heard it, and they gathered around one after another, saying in a hurry: "Really? I heard that you and Brother Hai are very close. Do you want to consider him? Don't look at Brother Hai's appearance." A bit simple and honest, he is very nice, and many girls in the village like him."

"Brother Hai already has a sweetheart, don't you know?" Another girl squeezed over and said, "Do you know Pan Weiliang from Changxing Village next door? He's so handsome. Teacher Xue, do you want to think about it? Culture, as long as you nod your head, there is no one in our ten villages and nine villages that you can't catch up with."

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that Mr. Xue will look down on our country people."

"No, no, how could it be?" Xue Yi felt hot from everyone's words, fanned the wind uncomfortably, and said, "I just don't think about this issue for the time being, thank you everyone."

"Adaihua, Xiao Lihua, what are you bothering about, come and change quickly, it will be too late." A middle-aged woman came out of the backyard and urged everyone.

"Here we come, we come." The girls responded and ran in one after another.

Adeihua still clung to her, "Really, Mr. Xue, do you really have no sweetheart? The sweetheart is still in the city, I'm sorry to say."

"No, I really don't have one, and I don't want to look for it for the time being."

"Adehua, are you coming or not?" The people in the yard yelled again, and then Adehua stuck out her tongue and ran in.

Xue Yi let out a long breath, and looked at Ah Ying, thinking that she didn't understand anything, but Ah Ying asked her: "Mr. Xue, do you really have no sweetheart? That's too pitiful, isn't it?"

Xue Yi: "Hey~ Do you have one?"

"Yes, but I don't know whether to choose Cheng Wen or Brother Jin."

Xue Yi: "..." Are all the children in Miao Village like this?

****

When Xue Yi and Ah Ying entered, Aunt Jinlan and Adeihua's mother were putting the silver crown on Adeihua, but they quickly took it off again, saying that the silver crown was a bit crooked and needed to be tidied up.

As usual, Xue Yi got everyone's consent before picking up the camera to start the live broadcast. Due to the advance notice, the number of online live broadcasts quickly soared to more than [-]. Considering that there were too many bullet screens to see clearly, Xue Yi turned off the bullet screen.

Adaihua's silver ornaments were placed on a long table covered with red forging, which made the silver ornaments more delicate and luxurious.

Xue Yi took pictures one by one with the camera, and kept doing science popularization for everyone in his mind.

"The silver ornaments of the Miao nationality are divided into several types such as head ornaments, neck ornaments, pectoral ornaments, and hand ornaments. There is a ring of silver pendants that are also made of silver, and on the silver crown there is a pair of silver horns that are half the height of a person, and the pattern is a pair of dragons playing with beads, which is very exquisite, but it is too heavy." Xue Yi tried Adeihua's silver ornaments and found that Sure enough, it is very heavy. "However, Miao people regard weight as beauty. The more the better, the heavier the better. This hat is considered normal."

Xue took off his hat and continued to shoot, "In addition to the headgear, there are also necklaces, such as this one - silver collars, a set of about eight pieces, including longevity chain collars, large and small twisted silk collars, and hollow rattan collars. Collars, louver collars, silver dragon collars, square double ring buckle collars, hairpin twisted wire collars, and this one, string ring collars!"

Xue Yi took photos one by one, silver collars, silver bracelets, silver clothes, silver pectorals... I felt a silvery light shining in front of my eyes, and I couldn't take it in. A Daihua's mother saw that she was a reporter, and she wanted to show off, saying that these were not rare. Yes, the girl's dress when she came out of the cabinet was different from what you wore today, it was much more solemn.

"Really?" Xue Yi was amazed in his heart. The silver ornaments of the Miao nationality are not only beautifully carved, but also of various types. In general, there is only one word: so rich! ! !

With so much money, not to mention selling it as a work of art, even if it is weighed by the catty, it is still a lot of money!

Xue Yi tried to open the barrage, and found that the barrage was just like her, full of money, money, money, so rich, when will I be so rich.

Sure enough, the powder is cooked with steam!

After the filming, Aunt Jinlan and Adeihua's mother wanted to wear silver ornaments for Adeihua, so Xue Yi stopped taking pictures, but looked at it in ecstasy.

There seems to be a certain order for the Miao people to wear silver ornaments, and they also have to say auspicious words while wearing them. Xue Yi didn't know about this, so he asked Adaihua's mother.

Adaihua's mother was asking Aunt Jinlan why Ayaoduo didn't come this year. Aunt Jinlan said that Ayaoduo was studying in the city and couldn't come back. Hearing Xue Yi's question, she laughed and said: "Yes, not only the order of dressing is different, The words are different for girls who are married and those who are going to travel. If you say the wrong thing and wear it wrong, you will not be able to go out or get married. You have to go another day, otherwise it is unlucky."

"So there is such a saying." Xue Yi carefully wrote down that she read a lot of relevant materials before coming to Miao Village, and it seems that no materials have mentioned this point.I thought that what my instructor said was really good. You must visit the site to get the most authentic first-hand folklore information. No wonder the group of nerds outside the screen hate the virtual travel live broadcast so much. It seems that it is not unreasonable.

After about half an hour, the girls were all dressed up, and the whole yard looked so silvery that Xue Yi could hardly move his eyes away. It wasn't until Adeihua urged her to take a photo that she came back to look for a tripod.

When she first met Adeihua, she thought that Adeihua's appearance was considered high, but she didn't expect that the other girls were also of low appearance. Xue Yi took a personal photo of them first, and then took a group photo. Some girls played well, They also need to take small group photos in twos and threes.

Xue Yi also took pictures of them one by one.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, you are not hungry, Teacher Xue is also hungry." Aunt Jin Lan pretended to be angry, called the girl in, and then said to Xue Yi: "Mr. Xue, you are tired after filming all morning." , just eat at my house."

"I'm not tired, just take a few photos." Xue Yi put away the camera and tripod, and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Aunt Jinlan."

"What's the trouble? It's not easy for a girl from the city to come here. If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell Aunt Jinlan. Don't think it's troublesome, you know?"

"Well, good." Xue nodded. For some reason, Aunt Jinlan looked at her as if she was looking at another person, full of indescribable nostalgia. Girl looks at her lover.

Only after asking other people did I find out that Aunt Jinlan's husband is the well-respected Fang Zhishu, the owner of the piano in the school.She must be thinking of her deceased husband, Xue Yi thought.

Probably thinking of her deceased husband, Aunt Jinlan took good care of Xue Yi, fearing that she would be embarrassed and would frequently serve her food. Xue Yi thought that if she could put her lovesickness in this way, then he would accept it, and he would not You're welcome.

After everyone had dinner at Aunt Jinlan's house, when they were about to go to Changchun Slope, Aunt Jinlan stopped her again and handed her a bamboo basket.

Xue Yi lifted the cloth covering it and took a look. Inside were glutinous rice of several colors, two duck eggs, a pair of red chopsticks, a bunch of camellias, and a box filled with pine leaves, peppers, cotton, and toon buds. bowl.

"What is this for?" Xue Yi was puzzled.

"You'll know when you get to the mountain." Aunt Jinlan smiled and stopped talking, and the girls next to her also pursed their lips when she asked her. Although Xue Yi didn't understand, she had no choice but to take it with her.

The Lusheng Festival is the most grand festival of the Miao people. The time is uncertain, usually after the autumn harvest and before the spring plowing.

The Lusheng Festival in Danliu Miao Village started on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. A few days ago, there were activities such as stepping on halls, gatherings, horse racing, and bullfighting. The last was the Lusheng Festival, but sometimes it was held at the same time. For example, the Lusheng Festival was held earlier this year.

People from ten villages and nine villages came from all directions and gathered in Changchunpo. The boys first formed a circle in Changchunpo to play the lusheng, while the girls danced and sang beside them.

When Xue Yi and everyone arrived, the boys had already picked up the Lusheng and sang and danced. The Lusheng is a reed wind instrument. The "Book of Songs" says "Blow the sheng and drum reed, blow the sheng and blow the sheng, and drum the reed and drum reed", saying is probably the predecessor of this instrument.

Xue Yiyi had seen it in a book, and thought it was just a small bamboo instrument, but he didn’t expect the real Lusheng to be as tall as a person, and some were even [-] meters tall. To play such a large instrument requires a lot of lung capacity. Usually only boys can blow it up.

Lusheng has a strange shape, melodious music, affectionate style, and a unique charm. Xue Yi listened to it, walked up to a fair and tender boy as if he had lost his soul, and began to take pictures.

The people around were singing and dancing, and the music was overwhelming. Xue Yi turned off the barrage again, but he didn't notice that there were fewer and fewer people around him, and soon vacated an open space. The boy seemed to have noticed her, and was playing and dancing around her.

"Hey, why did you all go to the side? Leave me alone..." How embarrassing to be in the middle.Xue Yi found that the situation was wrong, so he quickly put down the camera and asked the people around him for help. Adeihua pulled Ah Ying away, pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Xue, don't you want to take pictures of him? He is right in front of you now, Hurry up!"

"No, I, I..." Xue Yi hadn't finished speaking, the boy played the lusheng again, and everyone spontaneously surrounded Xue Yi and the boy, blew twice and howled to the sky, and stepped on the reed. The pace of the rhythm is well-proportioned, and the boy in front of Xue Yi is playing a long and profound tune, which is affectionate, and it is quite similar to the song "Little Spring Camellia" that Wang Yunhai sang when Xue Yi first arrived in Miao Village.

Knowing that she accidentally walked into the middle of the crowd, Xue Yi made everyone think that she was interested in this Miao brother, so she asked Adeihua for help, "Help me, Adeihua."

Before she could say a few words for help, the Miao brother went around to blow and dance in front of her again, which made Xue Yi feel even more embarrassed.

"Girl, if you want to leave, give him a pair of red chopsticks." Said a tall boy who was surrounded by two people playing Lusheng.

"No, if you don't like him, give him Huangshan tea."

"Glutinous rice, Mr. Xue, give him glutinous rice."

Seeing her in a difficult situation, A Daihua and the others hurriedly gave her some advice. Only then did Xue Yi understand why Aunt Jinlan gave her a bamboo basket. Give each other tokens with different meanings, but why doesn't Aunt Jinlan tell her the meaning of these tokens?

"Teacher Xue, red camellia, give him red camellia quickly, believe me, I won't lie to you, give him red camellia!" Adaihua said loudly.

"Ah, red camellia? Oh oh, red camellia." Xue Yi lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, rummaged through it, and finally pulled out a red camellia from the bouquet, and handed it to the other party, that boy As soon as he took the red camellia, there was a burst of thunderous laughter all around, and Adeihua laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.
