God said I would meet you

At first it was just that table, but slowly, the people at the next table also stood up one after another, and then the next table at the next table... Finally, except for Lin Jinyu and the three of them, everyone in the lobby stood up, and everyone stood up. Drinking wine glasses, they were happy, they didn't know each other, but they sang the same song that belonged to them in the same language.

Lin Jinyu can't understand Yi language, but she can feel the joy and freedom in the singing.He looked at Zhang Xinli and asked in a low voice, "What song is this, and what are the lyrics about?"

"Toast song," Zhang Xinli said, "I usually sing it when I'm drinking or dancing."

Lin Jinyu asked, "What's a dance?"

Zhang Xinli explained: "That's...you can understand it as dancing, dancing around the fire pit."

"Everyone dances around the firepit during festivals, that's all," Lalong said. "It's not a holiday, but you can also dance when you have nothing to do. If you're happy, you can dance."

"Yes," Zhang Xinli said, "When it is rare, it may be a family or a few families together, and when it is more, the whole village or even the whole region will be together." He said, "For example, the Torch Festival. Two days before you came here."

Lin Jinyu imagined the huge bonfires all over the mountains and the spectacular scene of people singing and dancing together in a circle holding hands, and felt very shocked: "Wow... It seems that I just missed it." He asked: "You all know how to sing?" Is it? What is the lyrics about?"

"Yes." Zhang Xinli took a chopstick and followed the rhythm of those men's hoarse singing:

"sumudivio (guest from afar)

qiobogelasuo (friends from all over the world)

niogiadesuoo (we don't get together often)

molagedebo...(we rarely meet)"

Lalong sang along with them in a crisp and childish voice:

"nimugiajielei (we have traditions)

zhijiboguoda (wine for welcoming guests)

zhizhawomujioo (hometown wine)

seilaguoosu (respect relatives and friends with fine wine)”

Although their singing voices are not loud, they are perfectly integrated into the voices of those rough men in the background. Zhang Xinli beat the time while looking at Lin Jinyu: "sunisudaduoduo, sunisudaduoduo... (please finish this drink, please finish this drink bar)"

Lin Jinyu said, "You all know how to sing."

"Because I often listen to it and sing it often." Zhang Xinli said.

Those Yi men were happy to sing, and they turned around and clinked glasses with people at different tables to drink. Lin Jinyu had never seen such a crazy way of drinking. Few people clink glasses twice with a glass of wine... My god, is this drinking method really safe from alcohol poisoning?

For a while, there were laughter, footsteps, and the sound of wine glasses colliding, and the three of them were the only ones sitting in the hall.

There was also a little boy who was about the same age as Lalong ran wildly over, hooked his shoulders with Lalong with a playful smile, and said to him with a monkey-like hand holding a wine glass: "Zi Duo!"

Lalong had no wine at hand, so the child's father gave him the glass, and Lalong took it. He exchanged "Tsmogni" with the stranger, and clinked glasses to drink.

Tsk tsk, this atmosphere is really good, Lin Jinyu thought: We don't know each other, but we are all compatriots on the same land.

He was propping his chin up, expressing his thoughts in his heart with an outsider mentality of watching the fun, when he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder heavily from behind.

Lin Jinyu was startled, and turned around to see a ponytailed Yi man holding a wine glass and looking at him with a smile.The man's hair was shaved short on both sides, and only the middle was long, tied into a braid at the back of his head.

Lin Jinyu was at a loss, she didn't know how to react or what to say, she just stood there motionless.He unconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Xinli, and saw Zhang Xinli raised his chin at him, signaling him to stand up.

Lin Jinyu then stood up from the chair in a daze, staring blankly at the Yi man.People babbled something to him, but Lin Jinyu couldn't understand it, so he saw him holding a wine glass in his dark hand and stuffing it into his hand. Lin Jinyu took it involuntarily, and someone immediately filled the wine glass.

The Yi man with the ponytail turned sideways to give way to a girl in a black, blue and yellow Yi dress who was following him.

Two thick and black braids hung on her shoulders, swaying with her footsteps.The girl walked up to Lin Jinyu holding the wine glass. She was a little shorter than Lin Jinyu, with her head slightly lowered, and her black and white eyeballs secretly glanced up, as if she wanted to look at him or not.

"?" Lin Jinyu couldn't understand the words, so she couldn't figure out the situation at all. She just stood there holding the wine glass, not knowing what she should do to deal with it properly.

He wanted to ask Zhang Xinli for help, but he turned his head halfway, and saw that Zhang Xinli had stood up by himself, pointed at Lin Jinyu, and then said something in Yi dialect to the Yi man who was toasting.

After Lin Jinyu saw them talking, the Yi man spread his hands towards the little girl in the skirt, then patted Lin Jinyu on the shoulder, and said in Mandarin, "Little brother, I'm sorry, my daughter wants to drink with you .”

Why don't you just have a toast, what's so embarrassing... Lin Jinyu said it's okay, raised his glass, and took the initiative to touch the little girl.

The little girl didn't look very happy. After clinking glasses with Lin Jinyu, she raised her head and drank the wine, and there was a burst of applause for her from all around.

Lin Jinyu looked at a glass full of wine in front of her, and felt a little embarrassed. This... Do I want to be bored too?God, I'm really afraid of getting drunk outside, but the little girl drank it all up, if I didn't finish it, I would look too rubbish...

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard Zhang Xinli say behind him: "Take a sip," he said, "Just a sip."

Lin Jinyu got a clear instruction, she calmed down a bit, took a sip obediently, and put down the glass.The little girl smiled at Lin Jinyu, swung her skirt and walked away.

"Huh..." Lin Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

"Hey, let me tell you," he said to Zhang Xinli, "what did you chatter about with them?"

"I didn't say anything," Zhang Xinli said, "I just said that you are not from here, and that you... are not of age."

"?" Lin Jinyu said: "Why are you talking about this? Having said that, why are you only looking for me to drink, and not you? You can drink more than me, okay?"

Zhang Xinli said, "I've fallen in love with you."

"I'll go," Lin Jinyu said, "This joke is not funny at all."

"I'm not kidding," Zhang Xinli said, "Really. A girl in a black and blue tricolor dress means that she is an adult and can pursue the boy she likes. If you like her, go back and grab something from her. If she comes after her You, you can go and whisper to her."

"There is still this kind of operation..." Lin Jinyu has gained new knowledge, he suddenly moved the stool closer to Zhang Xinli, and said with a very gossipy expression: "Be honest, have you snatched any little girl?" thing?"

Zhang Xinli glanced at him, then said, "No."

"How is it possible," Lin Jinyu said, "I don't criticize your puppy love, what else can we hide, hurry up and tell the truth."

Zhang Xinli said, "Really not."

"Cut, it's boring." Lin Jinyu didn't have anything to gossip about, so he suddenly felt bored, moved the stool and sat back, and looked down at the glass of wine that he had taken a sip of.He won't continue to drink it, but pour it out, it seems a bit wasteful, it's in vain, and it's not worth it if you don't drink it!So he simply pushed and pushed, and pushed it to Zhang Xinli to solve it.

Zhang Xinli raised his eyes and asked, "Am I a trash can?"

"Oh, what a waste to pour it out," Lin Jinyu said, "And it's a trash can, it's not a bad thing, it smells so good, and it's time for you to eat."

When he talks about fallacies, he is always plausible, and he is also confident in being unreasonable.Zhang Xinli shook his head, didn't say anything, and drank the glass of wine.

Once the dishes were served, the three of them took their chopsticks and ate until they were full.
