[Rebirth] Madam, stop pretending

On the border, you can see the boundless desert, which is desolate and majestic that Su Yu has never seen before.

There is a copper bell horse road in the desert, which is used by businessmen from all over the world.Even though the small towns on the border are far apart, roadside inns are everywhere, and at the speed of ordinary merchants, they can find a place to stay every night, not to mention that Yingbai and Su Yu can travel faster.

On this day, when they were walking on the road, they saw many more people coming and going than the previous few days, and not all of them were on the road, but were men, women, old and young, and there were more people with their families.

Su Yu only found out after asking around that they had caught up with the night market at the end of each month.

Although Yingbai wanted to go back to the teacher's gate, the two of them were not in a hurry, so they simply settled down in the passing town at noon, waiting to join in the excitement of the night market.

The farther west you go, the later it gets dark.It should have been someone's hour, and the moon has just risen.During the night market, everyone stayed up all night, and the lit torches were fired for several miles. Under the night sky, the vast frontier desert was reflected in orange.

The vendors lined up irregularly, but those separated from each other were not counted.The musicians who don't know what instruments they are playing sit on the ground without any scruples, and they are not afraid of being stepped on by the crowd. They seem to sit wherever they want to sit. The music they play is different, but it is not a conflict.Men and women wrapped in white gauze all over their bodies shuttled and danced among the vendors, stepping to the beat of the music they liked, and the silver bells on their wrists and ankles rang far away, echoing ethereally.

In this atmosphere, even Yingbai's face had a smile on it.

Silk cloth, gold and silver jewelry are the most common items sold.The smells from all kinds of spices scrambled into his nostrils, and when passing by several vendors, Su Yu kept sneezing.There are also large and small statues of gods that are sold a lot. Su Yu doesn't know what gods these people believe in. Unlike the gods of the Central Plains, most of those gods look a little fierce and sinister, and the most common gestures are pointing to the sky and pointing to the ground. The ability to go from heaven to earth is unstoppable.

The people here are very enthusiastic. In just a short while, Su Yu was pulled over by the merchants more than ten times, not to mention how many times he was molested by the dancers passing through the crowd, and he almost stepped on the musicians sitting in the crowd many times.

Yingbai was very familiar with the scene, with a smile in his eyes, and sighed, "Over the years, the custom of the night fair in the Western Regions has not changed."

Half of Su Yu's energy was on looking at the goods displayed by those merchants, and the other half was on not stepping on people and bumping into people or being bumped into by people, so he couldn't pay attention to what he was talking about.

There were more and more people, and Yingbai could only grab his hand to prevent the two from being separated.

Su Yu was dazzled and interested, and Yingbai was not much different.

Year after year, the things sold in the market were quite different from the ones he was used to seeing. The two of them shuttled back and forth, picking up and playing with everything they saw, but they always bought nothing.None of the merchants were angry, they just thought it was their first time to go to the night market and they were very curious. If there were not too many people, they might have dragged Su Yu to introduce each of them.

Yingbai walked among the crowd, listening to various kinds of music, looked at various dancers, smiled suddenly, stopped when passing by a musician sitting on the ground, and stretched out his hand to grab his instrument, but when he stretched halfway, he stopped. paused.

I don't know if this habit has changed.

He was a little hesitant just now, but the other party also smiled, handed the huqin forward, didn't speak, just stood up and took a step aside.

"...you know him?" Su Yu was very surprised, and quickly asked in a low voice.

Yingbai shook his head with a smile, and the musician also said with a smile, "Whoever wants to play a piece, let the piano go. It's a habit in the night market."

Yingbai then received, "I pull, you jump."

Su Yu couldn't say it well, so she hurriedly asked, "...what are you dancing for?"

"You know how to dance, you can do whatever you want to dance." He said, ignoring Su Yu's distressed face, his eyes fixed, and his right hand slightly raised the bow.

On the two strings, his left hand slid lightly on the strings, and a chant that seemed to come from ancient times came out in a low voice.

The voice changed from weak to strong, as if the surrounding noise was gone in an instant, the vast desert in the distance, a machete and moon above the head, Huqin humming, I don't know if it is singing the golden iron horse, the bloody square steel, or the vicissitudes of time.

The unadorned music directly hit the heart, making Su Yu stunned in place.

But Yingbai didn't look at him, his gaze was far away, as far as the blurred horizon that meets the sky at the end of the desert.

"Jump." But the people who stopped by to watch the fun couldn't help urging, and the passing dancer untied the silver bell from her wrist and threw it at Su Yu. Su Yu looked back and saw that the man's upper body was only wrapped in this one, and after taking it off and giving it to him, he was completely naked. Fortunately, he was a man.

"..." People in the Western Regions are too unrestrained!

He quickly turned his head back, but silently wrapped the red gauze around his body like a model.

After wrapping tightly, the remaining part is still very long, and when you raise your hand, the red gauze will flutter.

At this point, there is nothing to let go of.

Su Yu simply imitated the way Yingbai showed him every time, took off his shoes, and stood barefoot on the sand.He bought a hair crown when he first came out of the ice cave, and now he just took it off.The music played by Yingbai was full of tension, fast and slow, Su Yu turned red and turned around to dance.

He didn't dance very well at the beginning, and he was still jerky with the music, but as he danced, he seemed to finally find the right rhythm and understand the music.

People in the Western Regions love to sing and dance.

The desert is bleak, but it is singing and dancing. Above this bleakness, it is as alive as life.

Tranquility is a long history buried by wind and sand, and movement is a short but prosperous life.

As soon as this song danced, more people were accidentally attracted to stop.

"Have you heard that song before?" Someone beside him began to whisper, "I've been to the night market so many times, and I've traveled a lot, but this is the first time I've heard it."

"Good song, good song, good dance!"

Su Yu danced, and those men and women who were already dancing among the crowd also jumped up.The musicians who heard the sound didn't dare to play along with the song, they just closed their eyes one by one, as if they could hear a new world from the few notes.

On the outskirts of the crowd, a businessman from Zhongyuan couldn’t help but squeeze in when he saw the excitement. He didn’t have a child following him. .

"It's terrible..." The man rubbed his eyes and murmured to himself. After watching for a long time, it was just that there were too many people, and no matter how much they moved to the left and right, they were always blocked.

Just as he was about to squeeze in again, the companion who was chasing him patted him on the shoulder from behind. Seeing his expression, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's the matter, what's the big deal?"

The man turned around and pulled the person beside him, pushed him forward, and hurriedly said, "Show me more clearly, and tell me if I saw something wrong?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, followed the music and saw Yingbai for the first time. After a while, he turned his eyes and saw those dancing men and women, but before he could see who was who, his eyes were caught by the crowd blocked.

"... What did you say you saw?" He asked puzzled.

Just as the businessman was about to speak again, he heard that the originally high-pitched huqin sound gradually weakened again, but the song came to an end.

There was already a layer of sweat on Su Yu's forehead, so he took off the red gauze first, and then wiped the sweat with his sleeve.He went back to look for someone, only to find that the man who gave him the red yarn had gone nowhere.

Yingbai's hands were still resting on the strings. Seeing Su Yu carrying a piece of red gauze back and forth looking for someone, he couldn't help laughing. He handed the piano to the original musician, who raised his eyebrows. Don't speak, just take it and pull it.

But it was a completely different happy song from what he had just played.

Those musicians who were holding on to thunder and fire, plucked their plucks in response this time, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "That's right! The night market should be cheerful and lively! Don't play those things that make people think Desolate song!"

When he said these words, most of the people around laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.Yingbai also laughed, pulled Su Yu over, and danced with the crowd.

Su Yu's face was flushed, most of it was hot, but the other half was too excited and happy.I couldn't find anyone, so I didn't return the red gauze, so I just wrapped it around my body again, sweating profusely from dancing, and didn't stop until I was too tired to dance.

Seeing that he had stopped, Yingbai simply pointed out his hand and said with a smile, "Look at those fragrant woods, they will be ignited in a short time, and when the hunters come back, the fresh meat will be grilled on the shelf. At this time last year, the wine was buried for a long time. Dig it out, this year’s new ones will have to be buried again. That’s when the climax will come, so you need to save some strength.”

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "Then you have to take a break."

Yingbai pulled him to squeeze beside Xiangmu, a group of people came from a distance, men and women, all carrying wine jars on their shoulders, the crowd burst into laughter immediately.Before the laughter fell, a horn sounded from the desert in the distance, followed by thunderous hoofbeats, and the hunter carrying the prey rushed into the crowd on a fast horse.

"Divide the meat and divide the meat! Drink and drink!" The crowd immediately shouted, most of them didn't know each other, but at this time, everyone looked like friends they hadn't seen for more than ten years.

The hunter peeled the skin and cut the meat on the spot and grilled it, and passed it on one by one, and it was eaten without knowing who passed it on. Anyway, the front will always pass it on.

Why not enjoy eating meat and drinking alcohol? !

Su Yuchi's lips were shiny, he didn't dare to drink, but Yingbai drank one sip after another, he reached out and intercepted the passing wine vessels, others didn't get annoyed, but they also grabbed him, it seemed that everyone wanted to drink. Take two more sips.

"It's not fun!" Ying Bai said suddenly, pulled Su Yu and squeezed in, saying, "Come on! Fight with the hunter, and if you win, you can drink him. Come here and see if I don't win ten games against him." Eight games!"

He was originally handsome, and his voice was not low, the people next to him immediately booed and sent him up.

The hunter leader this time was only in his early 30s. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "I have a big tone, and if I want to drink, I will not show mercy!"
