Chapter 38 39.Qinghua Mountain in Zhuhu Village
The two had a wonderful idea and used the fish in the river to drag the boat across the river. When they got close to the pier, the fishermen and boatmen on the pier were already dumbfounded and wanted to gather around to watch the excitement.But when they saw a spider bigger than a cow lying on the bow of the boat, they were too frightened to go forward.

However, some enthusiastic and daring boatmen threw the rope and helped pull the boat to the shore.Otherwise, the fish wouldn't be able to swim to the shore, and the two of them really couldn't get the boat to stop at the pier.

When the two got off the boat, Shi Ling'er greeted the people around him kindly. Although Shen Yunfei didn't recognize any of them, he repeatedly thanked the boatmen who helped around.

Shi Ling'er led the iron web spiders off the boat, and casually handed the boat to the boatman who helped them get ashore, and said that the fish on the boat would be a thank you gift for everyone.All the boatmen and onlookers applauded.

This is by the Wushui River, everyone eats fish, but it is rare to see these big fish that are several feet long like those caught by iron web spiders.Every time a fisherman catches such a big fish, the whole village eats it together. Of course, everyone is surprised to see so many big fish suddenly.

Shen Yunfei saw that everyone had smiles on their faces, and he himself felt very happy, and he didn't care whether he was kidnapped by the gangsters, whether he should go back now, he just felt that since he came, he would be at ease, let's take a look at Sanmiao's customs first It is not too late to go back after the addiction of sightseeing.

This is Wushui Lishou Wharf, which is also under the jurisdiction of Zhuhu Village, and most of the residents are Miao people.There are also some people from the Central Plains who settled here to do some transportation business.The two of them rode the iron web spider all the way to the south, and they could see small villages everywhere on the road.Although they may not all know Shi Ling'er, the Sanmiao people are always hospitable, and they have money, so they don't worry about food wherever they go.Just because the iron web spider looks scary, it is inevitable to spend a lot of time explaining to appease the frightened pedestrians.

All the way, Shen Yunfei admired the customs and customs of Sanmiao that he had never seen before, ate local snacks that he had never eaten before, such as cross-bridge rice noodles, glutinous rice rakes, and rice rakes, and saw a lot of wonderful mountains and waters. I feel overwhelmed with joy.

Shi Ling'er rode on the back of the iron web spider, humming a folk song, explaining the customs and local characteristics to Shen Yunfei along the way.Shen Yunfei compared what he read from the book with what he heard, which was even more interesting.

After walking southward from Liqiu Wharf for two days, he arrived near Zhuhu Village, which was already Shi Ling'er's hometown.

Shen Yunfei couldn't help but be amazed to see a verdant bamboo forest and green sea all over the mountains, with few other trees in the middle.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a woman walking forward in a hurry, as if she was on her way.And behind her, followed a young man in his twenties, with a floral cloth on his head, a purple-blue double-breasted jacket, and a black and white linen vest.

Seeing the two people in front of each other, Shi Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Shen Yunfei: "You know, those two must be a couple."

Shen Yunfei stared at the two of them for a few times, but they neither spoke nor made eye contact, and there was no relationship at all.So he said, "Is it someone you know? Are you trying to tease me?"

"I don't know it." Shi Ling'er shook her head and said, "But I know it at a glance."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, San Shao asked, "Then how did you tell?"

Shi Ling'er raised her head and smiled, and said: "You don't know it now, in our place, once the wife goes out, the husband must walk behind the wife."

"There is such a thing?!" Shen Yunfei said in surprise, "Why is that?"

Shi Ling'er shrugged, shook his head and said: "I don't know too well, but the law is like this."

Shen Yunfei scratched his head and said, "What if someone else walks behind this woman?"

"It won't happen." Shi Ling'er said: "If someone really walked behind that wife, then the wife would naturally stop and let the man go ahead, and then continue to let the husband walk behind her. "

"Is that so? It's really strange." Shen Yunfei was confused and thought: This is fine in a place with few people, but if there are many people, how can you tell who is following whom?

While talking, Shi Ling'er suddenly asked: "Brother, do you like this place?"

"I like it." Shen Yunfei said casually.

"Then if you live here in the future and marry a Sanmiao girl, will you walk behind your wife like that man?"

Shen Yunfei had never thought about this question before, scratched his head, and said: "I guess I will definitely not walk behind women. As a couple, it's best to walk side by side affectionately. I don't like people in the Central Plains either, my wife You have to walk behind your husband, not half a step ahead."

He was purely discussing the matter, and didn't think about other things at all, but Shi Ling'er heard the words "walking side by side with affection", but she blushed and stopped talking.

Going forward, you can see a big village hidden in the bamboo smoke and green mist. There are bursts of laughter, music and singing in the fortress, which is very lively.

"Why is it so lively? Is there a wedding?" Shen Yunfei asked.

Shi Ling'er was also taken aback, but then she came to her senses, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "No wonder the couple are in such a hurry. It's a coincidence that we came back. Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which happens to be the Huashan Festival. The village is so lively, It must be in 'Colorful Flower Mountain'!"

"Colorful Flower Mountain? What is that?" Third Young Master asked.

Shi Ling'er had already jumped off the spider's back. Hearing Shen Yunfei's question, she turned her head and said with a smile, "It's almost like New Year's Eve, but it's so lively! Come down quickly and learn more from me."

When Shen Yunfei heard this, he quickly turned over from the spider's back, but looked at the Flame-eyed Iron Web Spider, which had scared many people along the way, and didn't know where to lead it.

Seeing that he hadn't caught up yet, Shi Ling'er stared blankly at the iron web spider again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, I've hung my purse on it, and people here will know it's mine at a glance. Helping to take care of it. Come with me quickly, it would be a pity if you miss the wonderful thing."

After hearing this, Shen Yunfei ignored the flame-eyed iron web spider and followed Shi Ling'er towards the cottage.

As soon as they walked to the gate of the village, they heard thunderous cheers inside, as if something exciting was about to start, the two stepped forward quickly and squeezed into the crowd.

This is the gathering square of Zhuhu Village, where most sacrificial ceremonies and discussion meetings are held.At this time, flowers and colorful silks were hanging everywhere, which were very solemnly decorated.There were crowds of people around the square, it seemed that people from the whole village, men, women, old and young, all gathered here.

Shen Yunfei looked around and saw a medium-sized elderly man in blue walking towards the center of the square, followed by two young girls on both sides.The two little girls were only about ten years old, and they were all dressed up in three seedlings. The left hand was holding a wine jar and three flower bowls, and the right hand was holding three red silk balls.

In the middle of the field stood a thick wooden pole more than four feet high, painted in red and white, with red, white and green colored silk tied on the top of the wooden pole, and decorated with a large bouquet of flowers.The old man stopped near the flower pole, and as soon as he stopped, the noise around him suddenly quieted down.

"That's great, it's just the beginning." Shi Ling'er clapped her hands and smiled.

Shen Yunfei quietly pointed at the blue-clothed elder, and asked, "Who is that person?"

"He..." Shi Ling'er whispered in Shen Yunfei's ear, "That's the old man Huashan recommended by the village, that is, my father!"

"Ah? Is that the village owner of Zhuhu village?" Shen Yunfei was taken aback, and went to look at the Zhuhu village owner, the old man Huashan.I saw that he was about 50 to [-] years old, his hair was slightly gray, his face was wrinkled, but his spirit was extremely strong.Although the smile is extremely kind, but between the brows, there is a faint majesty, obviously an upright elder.

The owner of the Shizhai raised his right hand, beckoned to everyone in the village, and shouted loudly: "Now - the colorful flower mountain has begun!"

As soon as the words finished, thirty reeds blew at the same time, coming from behind.Looking back, I saw a bamboo signboard hanging with a ribbon over there, and a Lusheng team came in from outside, all young people in their teens and 20s.They were divided into two rows, symmetrical to each other. Everyone wore dark blue long-sleeved sackcloth, with kerchiefs on their heads, and held lushengs in their hands. With the owner of Shizhai as the center, form a circle.

The onlookers cheered one after another, and the applause went straight to the sky.

Before the applause fell, another Lusheng team poured into the bamboo deck downstairs, about 20 people, dressed the same as the previous team, but added an open-chested vest on the outside.As soon as they entered the arena, they got into the big circle they had just formed, and formed another circle.In this way, the Lusheng team on the field became two concentric rings.

The two circles of reeds turned left and right in different directions, dancing to the beat while blowing the reeds, jumping up and squatting in the inner and outer circles, occasionally turning around in a wrong way, touching feet with people in front and behind.Frontal bump, side bump, back bump, jump up bump, the postures are all kinds of strange, but they are uniform, indescribably unique and moving.

Every time a new action appears, it must cause a burst of thunderous applause.Shen Yunfei's blood was boiling with excitement, and he couldn't help screaming loudly along with the surrounding audience, until his palms were swollen.

Just as the music sounded, a Sanmiao young man about 20 years old came up, walked straight through the Lusheng team, walked up to the owner of Shizhai, and saluted respectfully.

Shen Yunfei didn't know what he was going to do, but Shi Ling'er lightly bumped his waist with her elbow, and whispered in his ear: "Look carefully at what he did, I'll go get a lottery later."

"Me?" Shen Yunfei was stunned for a moment.

Shi Ling'er pushed him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not too difficult, just look at it."
