Chapter 1625 Festival 3

"The Yao people are very friendly to us. There is no need for us to show off in front of them. It is meaningless. If we accidentally offend them, we will let down the hospitality of Mr. Jin." Xiao Fei said, "So for this It’s just a matter of laughing it off.”

"But it's inevitable that people will feel uncomfortable if others think that we have no skills." Fatty said.

"Treat it with a normal heart." Xiao Fei said: "It is better to show off in front of the monsters than to show off in front of the Yao people. Showing off in front of the monsters is considered a skill. There are still many monsters we have to meet before. Show off your power in front of them, that is the real brave."

"Alright then." Fatty and Big Mater finally thought about it.

"Boss, Mr. Jin said that he wants to discuss important matters with several leaders. What important matters will they have?" Big Banya asked.

"It should be some things in the field." Xiao Fei said: "For example, the issue of the boundary of the field, the irrigation of the canal, and the issue of the hunting interval... probably these are the issues. According to my guess, each village, Everyone should have their own unique territory, and other villages cannot just go to other people’s places.”

"Isn't the government helping with these issues?" Dabanya said.

"The leader of Yaozhai has a lot of power, so he only manages these things." Fatty said, "These issues belong to the internal issues of the ethnic group, and it is not convenient for the Han people to manage them. Otherwise, how can we call it autonomy?"

"So that's how it is." Da Mater said.

The festival celebration was held on the large lawn in the center of Zhaojiazhai. Walking into the lawn, I saw a group of women in festive costumes dancing bamboo poles.

Bamboo pole dance is two rows of people squatting on the ground, grabbing a few bamboo poles and beating them on the ground continuously. The crackling sound was very rhythmic. The bamboo poles kept changing positions, and the women danced between the gaps in the bamboo poles. One by one danced and laughed happily, a bit like the Chinese people dancing rubber bands.

Those Yao women usually do tie-dye at home, which is very boring and hard work. It is rare to meet a big national festival today, so I can relax completely. Put aside all the complicated housework and devote yourself to dancing. So they danced very happily and devoted themselves very much.

"I've seen this bamboo pole dance on TV before." Fatty said, "It's just a performance in a scenic spot, just to attract tourists."

"I don't know if we will dance in the past." Big Mater said.

"The rhythm of their dance is very special. Without special training, they really can't dance. If you accidentally step on the bamboo pole, you will make others laugh." The fat man said, "Those scenes on TV that actively invite tourists to dance with them, It's all performance. You see, they didn't invite us over."

"In order to make money, the scenic spot must attract customers. But they don't attract us because they dance purely for relaxation and entertainment." Xiao Fei said: "In addition, all the dancers are women, probably because only the already Only married women can dance."

"So, let's not bother to participate. It's still the same sentence that Mr. Jin warned, just look at it."

After looking at it for a while, he left, and walked forward again, and saw a group of young men dancing bronze drums there. They were all young and strong, with hats and pheasant feathers on their heads, probably unmarried youths. And the onlookers who watched them dance the bronze drums were the girls wearing Yingluo hats, who were sixteen years old.

Faced with the girls watching, the young men danced very hard. Even though he was carrying a bronze drum weighing several tens of kilograms, he still jumped up, probably because he wanted to show off in front of the girls.

Girls like strong and powerful guys, once they attract the favor of a certain girl at this time. When it comes to the antiphonal link, it will take advantage of it. Even if he can't match the girl's song, the girl might agree to him. A strong body means that you can hunt and farm, and you will have a prosperous life after marriage.

Seeing these men showing themselves and those girls wearing Yingluo hats, they talked and laughed. Pointing at them, talking in a low voice about which guy in the village is the most powerful and which one is worthy of being a husband.

"Zhao Caifeng, I think you've taken a fancy to Chen Yusheng from Chenjiazhai, right? Some time ago, I heard that you went down the mountain with him to go to the market, and hooked up with him on the way back." Among the crowd of girls not far from Xiao Fei , several girls from the Yao family gathered together, talking in a low voice. One of the girls spoke to the other.

"Not really." The girl named Zhao Caifeng said, "Chen Xiaoling, you should like Jin Shun from Jinjiazhai, right? When I was herding sheep last time, I saw you crossing the territory of your Chenjiazhai to Jinjiazhai. Go to the territory of the family village to meet him. Tell me, why did you two sneak into the woods?"

"We didn't do anything." Chen Xiaoling said, "Only you two came back from the market at the foot of the mountain. Someone saw you crawling out of the bushes for more than an hour. When you came out, you were still disheveled."

The topics they discussed were bold and a little dirty. But today they can sing to each other and find a man, and it seems natural to discuss these things.

"Can you two not discuss this topic, which is not suitable for children?" Another girl next to her said, "The girl from the Jin family hasn't put on her hat yet, so don't spoil the little girl."

"Who says I'm too young, I'll be able to wear a Yingluo hat after a few more months." The girl from the Jin family said.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Fei felt very familiar. Looking back, it was Jin Sanmei who was speaking, and she was mixed among the adult girls.

So he walked over and called out, "Third Sister!"

Jin Sanmei looked up and saw that it was Xiao Fei, she remembered what happened the day before yesterday, her face blushed, and she hurriedly tried to hide, but Xiao Fei chased after her and asked, "Why are you running?"

"I didn't run away." Jin Sanmei stopped and said.

"Aren't you wearing a hat? Why are you watching bronze drums with grown girls?" Xiao Fei asked strangely.

"I'm going to be able to wear a hat right away?" Jin Sanmei said, "It's only a few months away, I can't play stones with those seven or eight-year-old children, and everyone can't play together. And in several other villages, girls like me, who are only a few months away from turning sixteen, are also watching."

Xiao Fei turned his head to look, and sure enough, among the crowd, he saw some people without hats. This is also reasonable, they are all adults within a year or two at most, and those girls who are sixteen or seventeen years old are their peers.
