Chapter 41 43．Oil Umbrellas Sing Contempt Love Song Party
I saw oil-paper flower umbrellas rolling gently one after another in the square, and there were couples of young men and women under the umbrellas.In addition, there are many girls and boys standing together in groups of three or four, all looking for their own goals for singing.

Shen Yunfei was trying to find a place to sit and enjoy it slowly, but Ah Huo came running out of nowhere, stuffed an oiled paper umbrella painted with peach blossoms into his hand, turned his head, and disappeared again.

The third young master looked at the umbrella in his hand, smiled lightly, and imitated those teenagers by opening the umbrella to block the sun for Shi Ling'er.

He didn't know that this was just a signal of the three Miao people's courtship.As long as the Sanmiao man has an umbrella in his hand, he will walk to the girl he loves. If the girl looks back at him, he will quickly open the umbrella to shade the girl from the sun, so the two can walk anywhere and face each other. sing.If the girl doesn't look back at him, it means she has no intentions for him, and the young man can only wait, or find other girls who are willing to sing with him.

Shen Yunfei didn't understand anything, when he saw another man holding an umbrella for a girl, he thought it was a kind of politeness, and before Shi Ling'er turned to look at him, he opened the umbrella.Of course, Shi Ling'er was not unwilling, the two actually just held hands like this, shoulder to shoulder, listening to other people's antiphonal songs all the way, wandering around in the venue.In the eyes of others, they are already a couple who love each other.

San Shao had heard Shi Ling'er sing Sanmiao's song a long time ago, and he was quite moved at that time, and even sang with her all night while blowing the leaves of grass.At this time, listening to the mountains and plains, there are singing voices everywhere, one after another, high and low, sometimes male voice, sometimes female voice, sometimes male and female chorus, compared with listening to Shi Ling'er singing solo, it is another fun.

The antiphonal song is generally sung by the girl first, starting a tune, and then the young man continues to sing the rest.He listened to the lyrics of those duets, most of which were made up at will, with questions and answers.

The girl first asks the boy what his last name is and what his name is. Of course, they all express it by singing, and the man also answers the girl's own name by singing, and at the same time asks back to find out the girl's name.

With such a question and answer, one singing and one harmony, you can ask about the other party’s family, the village, the plowing, the weaving, and then flowers, trees, birds, animals, wind, rain, thunder, electricity... Just as described in the book, seeing rocks and singing mountains, looking at water and singing rivers really made Shen Sanshao feel very different.

However, there are also some young men and women who do not sing like this. Instead of staying in the square, they climb to the nearby hills in pairs to sing.The content of the singing does not ask about the name and age, but something similar to poetry.

Shen Yunfei listened to those who asked for a while, and felt that it was boring, so he pulled Shi Ling'er to go to the mountain to listen.Shi Ling'er blushed and nodded, and the two of them followed the stone path among the bamboo forests and turned to the mountain.

The third young master wanted to hear what those men and women were singing, but he didn't notice the change in Shi Ling'er's expression.

It turned out that those who went to the mountains to sing were couples who had already made up their minds. They hid in the mountains to sing, on the one hand, to talk about love, and on the other hand, they could also take the opportunity to make out.He, Shen Yunfei, didn't understand the rules, so he insisted on dragging Shi Ling'er up the mountain to listen, Shi Ling'er thought to himself, anyway, he's already been infected by the mind-linking gu, so it doesn't matter if we go up the mountain together.

Ever since, the two of them, one unintentionally and the other intentionally, held hands and climbed up the mountain again holding a flowered paper umbrella.

Shen Yunfei went to listen to those lyrics, and it was really different from the following.

Only a man sang: "Sweet cane is delicious, you have to peel it, so don't worry if you don't want to lose the skin. I will meet my sister in Huashan, and I will remember my brother-hey!"

Then, a crunchy female voice sang: "Sugar cane is sweet every day, and the water in Longtan is deep and clear all year round. Plantain leaves have thousands of lines, and my sister's candle has one heart—hey!"

This kind of singing, Shen Yunfei can understand it naturally, and it is also interesting to listen to.But the sound of some lyrics is so weird that San Shao can't understand a single word.

It's like there is a girl in a white flower and blue dress singing: "Jiang Duo is dumb, Jiang Duo is dumb. The voice of the lone bird and the lone flower is coming, and Goyo Pincang will hide the cold. Lonely The lonely bird wins the treasure, make an appointment to hide the treasure, and use it as a farmer to fight the farmer and the farmer. Mandora plays with the miscellaneous farmer to play the colorful bear, and the Luce Jilu Labo brother moves the young ones ..."

Shen Yunfei listened for a long time, although he heard it clearly, he didn't understand a single word, so he could only turn around and ask Shi Ling'er.

Shi Ling'er was already blushing with embarrassment, but fortunately the paper umbrella had its own color, and the sunlight reflected on her face through the paper umbrella was not obvious.Hearing his question, I translated it for him sentence by sentence.It turned out that the girl sang: "Brother Xiaoliang is skillful in chopping knotted bamboo to make a branch flute. During the day, he whistled mynah, and at night he played it to the heart of my sister."

This kind of lyrics is already blatantly flirting, but it's a pity that Shen Yunfei doesn't understand, so he asked Shi Ling'er to translate it for him.This time I realized the meaning, and I was embarrassed to listen any more, so I pulled Shi Ling'er to leave the place quickly, so as not to disturb the young couple's love affair.

Seeing that Shen Yunfei was not interested in singing, Shi Ling'er just listened, so she kept silent.Shen Yunfei really wanted to sing, but he didn't dare to open his mouth when he heard all the explicit love songs being sung everywhere.

Turning around a few bamboo forests, I gradually heard a very strange sound, like something shaking slightly, but there was a melody, which made people itch.

When Shen Yunfei asked, he realized that it was a special musical instrument of the Sanmiao people, called Xiangbai.The third young master had never seen it before, and wanted to see it again. It happened that Shi Ling'er also had it in his hand, so he took it out of his arms and showed it to him.

I saw that the rattle bamboo was made of copper, only three inches long and three minutes wide, with some broken grooves in the middle.Put it near your mouth, blow with air, and pluck the tip of the copper piece with your right thumb, and it will make a "dangdang" sound similar to the sound of a piano.Although the voice was not too loud, the copper plate trembled slightly, and the voice also trembled slightly, which really tickled people's hearts.

It was the first time Shen Yunfei saw such a weird musical instrument, of course he wanted to learn it, so Shi Linger had no choice but to teach him.

You know, it is precisely because the sound of this rattle is so small that it can only be heard when you are close, so it is usually just between lovers, playing in each other's ears to tell each other's true feelings.That tickling sound rang in my ears, accompanied by the warm air exhaled from the lover's mouth, it was extremely warm.

It's a pity that Third Young Master Shen is more than happy to see a new musical instrument. Not long after he played the reed, he came to play the bamboo again.

Of course he only has one audience, that is Shi Ling'er in front of him.I saw him blowing the rattle with a proud face, and the sound of "dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang" was played in his mouth, and he was so happy that he carried himself away.

After a while, there was the sound of someone blowing leaves of grass again, and this was Shen Sanshao's forte.He returned the rattle to Shi Ling'er, picked a blade of grass casually, imitated the man over there, while blowing the blade of grass, raised his head for a while, leaned down for a while, and blew a high-pitched and resonant tune.

Shi Ling'er was taken aback for a moment, seeing that he was blowing so vigorously, she picked up the rattle that Shen Yunfei had just blown, put it in her mouth lightly, and touched the copper surface on it with one hand, "Dang-duddang-- "It blew up.

Seeing that there was an accompaniment, Shen Yunfei played even more vigorously, and at the same time, he and Shi Ling'er danced Sanmiao's dance on the hillside.I don't know, his actions like this are really more direct than others singing love songs, it's basically the marriage courting ceremony of the Sanmiao people.

Gradually, the sun has moved to the west, and the sky is gradually getting dark.The couples on the mountain went down the mountain in pairs, and a huge bonfire was lit in the square of Zhuhu Village.

One day has passed, but Sanmiao's colorful flower mountain is not over yet, but is about to enter the climax - the night dance carnival.

Probably the owner of Shizhai was in a good mood, so there were more things in this year's carnival than in previous years.

A bamboo platform was temporarily set up on the edge of the square. The platform was filled with all kinds of gifts, and there were two chairs in the middle, all decorated with flowers, which looked very gorgeous and beautiful.

On one of the chairs was a lusheng, and on the other was a machete.The scabbard is made of gold, with patterns inlaid with silver and inlaid with countless gemstones, making it very precious.

Everyone knew what was going on when they saw the scene, only Shen Yunfei didn't know, so he went to ask Shi Ling'er again.

Shi Ling'er couldn't tell, it was a wedding ceremony for herself and him, so she lied and said: "This is to comment on today's Flower King and Queen Flower, on that stage are their thrones, on the chairs Things are prizes. The golden knife is for the Kao, and the Lusheng is for the Queen. If you have the ability, go and win the Kao back.”

Shen Yunfei looked at the saber, then at the Lusheng, he liked both, but relatively speaking, he still liked the Lusheng a little more, after all, he doesn't know how to use a knife now.So he said: "What if I don't like knives, but like that lusheng?"

Shi Ling'er chuckled and said, "You're stupid, you can change it after looking for flowers!"

"What if she refuses to change?"

"Then it depends on who the Queen of Flowers is." Shi Ling'er chuckled, then ran away covering her face.

Shen Yunfei was stunned for a long time before he realized that Shi Ling'er is beautiful, she sings well, she dances well, she is good at playing shuttlecock, there is really no other one in the whole Zhuhu Village, this "Queen of Flowers" is very important She is none other than.If she really snatched the position of Kao, whether she wants Lusheng or the golden knife, isn't it all a matter of her words.

He was here in a daze, but the two brothers Ah Huo and Shitou ran over, dragged him and ran out of the arena, shouting: "Why are you still standing here, why don't you hurry up and change your clothes. "

Shen Yunfei was dragged by the two brothers, and didn't understand what was going on, so he could only ask: "I just changed this dress today, why do I need to change it?"

Ah Huo turned his head and said, "I'm going to participate in the grand ceremony tonight, so of course I have to change clothes." Then he dragged Shen Yunfei directly into a bamboo hut, the two of them took off his clothes and changed them for him again. Put on a brand new robe.

The style of the robe is similar to the previous one, but the pattern on the body is densely packed, or colorful butterflies, or bats, or flowers, or birds and beasts, gold edging and silver thread, there are countless.

Shen Yunfei didn't like such a fancy style at first, but he couldn't help it because the brothers were so enthusiastic, so he could only change it.

Later, I put on a brand new hat. Fortunately, there were not so many flowers on the hat, but a bunch of silver ornaments were inserted on the side, which looked like a knife.

Once dressed, it looks very luxurious.Shen Yunfei took a photo in front of the bronze mirror, and thought it was pretty good, but it was too flowery.But since it's a festival, and I'm going to grab the Kao, it's appropriate to dress a little more grandly.

He turned around and saw that Ah Huo and Shitou hadn't changed their clothes, so he asked again: "Why don't you change? Hurry up and change, isn't it about to start?"

Hearing his strange question, Ah Huo let out a "poof" laugh, and said, "What are we doing instead? No one is robbing you."

Shen Yunfei thought that the two of them intended to give up the position of Kao to him, so he stopped talking immediately.How did he know that Ah Huo was actually talking about no one robbing him of a bride.
