"I hope your wish will come true, sister," Wu Xie said with a smile.
"Haha, young man, I wonder how old you are this year?"
"I am twenty-one this year."
"Twenty-one, young man, you can also participate in the wedding ceremony in our village." The eldest sister said with a smile.
When Sun Ying heard this, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched Wu Xie's arm.
Wu Xie looked embarrassed and said, "Sister, I don't have this idea. Do you still allow people from outside to come here to steal marriages?"
The eldest sister nodded, "As long as you have the ability, you can come to us to steal your marriage. However, I don't think you are very strong. You will definitely not be able to steal some of the powerful young people in our village."
Being despised again, Wu Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, I am actually very strong."
Wu Xie said, not forgetting to wink at Sun Ying. Sun Ying knew best whether Wu Xie was strong or not. When Sun Ying saw this, she glared at Wu Xie angrily.
"In that case, young man, why not give it a try!" the eldest sister said with a generous smile.
Wu Xie didn't intend to steal any marriage. He just wanted to drive the car smoothly along this road and go around to the other side of the national highway to continue his escape. However, the possibility of this wish coming true within today seems to be
Trivial, no, absolutely impossible.
When Wu Xie drove gradually away from the eldest sister, the car drove hard along the road for a distance, about less than 500 meters, when the car turned a corner. Wu Xie and Sun Ying helplessly discovered that the previous ones
All the cars driving in front of them were forced to stop. The road in front of them was now filled with local Yao people. Without exception, they were all young and unmarried men. Of course, there were many "relatives and friends" in their family.
"Come over and cheer them on. As for those who don't have young men in their families who come to participate in the marriage robbery, they will also come over to join in the fun. Today is a major event in the village. Everyone will come over to watch the fun. The older ones will come over to watch the fun."
Look at the new tricks of the younger generation, and see whose children match whose children. Minors who have not yet reached that age come here to learn some experience and prepare for the future.
These young men participating in "robbing marriages" all wear brand-new, exquisitely woven ponytail hats on their heads. When you see the brown-black ponytail hats worn by young Yao men, you will be amazed at the superb production.
Craftsmanship. What may surprise you is that those exquisite hats are all made by tough and rugged young men or adult men.
According to legend, there used to be a Yao hunter who wore a long cloth bun wrapped around his head. He climbed mountains and rocks every day to chase his prey. He was often entangled in tree branches and vines, which delayed his pursuit and caused many wild animals to escape. On rainy days, the Baotou became more prone to water absorption.
He had to carry a heavy burden. Later, he used the horsetail to braid a hat, which was light, smooth, moisture-proof, and durable, suitable for hunting in the mountains. As a result, this "horsetail hat" was loved by everyone, and people of the Yao people wore it one after another.
Got up.
To weave a "horsetail hat", you must first make a head-sized model out of wood, polish it smooth, and cut a hole in the middle to reduce the weight. When weaving, the editor sits on a stool with the model placed on both knees and supported by his left hand.
Model, holding a needle with a ponytail in her right hand, weaving carefully stitch by stitch. It usually takes seven or eight days to knit a "ponytail hat". It can take four or five days to complete at the fastest. Although it is very time-consuming, it is still possible.
It can be said to be a permanent solution, because a "horsetail hat" can be worn for five or six years. The "horsetail hat" is a symbol of Yao family men's intelligence, hard work and wisdom. If an adult man does not wear a "horsetail hat", girls will look down on him and everyone will look down on him.
Therefore, men must try their best to learn to knit a "horsetail hat". If they really can't knit one, they should ask someone to knit one to wear.
On the highly anticipated day of "robbed marriage", they all put on new ponytail hats, looking energetic and distinguished. They did this to attract the attention of girls.
The custom of "robbing marriages" has evolved a lot since the past. In the past, "robbing marriages" did actually occur. Most of them were because the parents of both parties did not agree, or the bride price required by the woman was too high.
Gao, the man had no choice but to arrange for several friends to block the road where his beloved woman passed every day. When the girl came back, they swarmed and carried her to the man's house. They invited relatives and friends that night, and invited the woman's parents to come home for dinner;
After that, they can live together, and the formal marriage ceremony will be held some time later. If the woman who was robbed does not want to, she will not live together.
However, as it develops now, "robbing marriage" has merged with the well-known custom of "climbing buildings" of the Yao people. The two parties in the "robbing marriage" have already been in love with each other long ago, and "robbing marriage" is just a
The situation makes the village lively.
"Climbing the building" is a unique marriage and love custom of the Yao people. When girls reach the age of love, their parents arrange for them to live in a hanging building. When a young man comes to fall in love, he cannot enter the house directly from the gate and then enter the hanging building along the stairs.
People have to climb up the alleyway of the hanging building and enter the hanging building. People call this way of love "climbing the building."
The Yao people have always had a tradition of women marrying men and having free love. The houses they live in are all wooden structures with stilts. When the Yao people build stilt houses, they have a hanging tower at a certain height from the ground near the stairway.
.When the girl in the family reaches the age of falling in love, she goes to live in a hanging building so that she can meet with young men more conveniently.
Whenever night falls, the girl waits for her lover in the hanging building. The young man quietly comes to the hanging building of the girl's house. Since there are no stairs below the hanging building, the young man has to climb the stairs extending from the pillars to enter the girl's room.
Liang Tou climbed up and entered the hanging building to have a tryst with the girl; when the young man returned, he still climbed down along the pillars of the building, hence the name "climbing the building."
Both "robbing a bride" and "climbing a building" were invented by the ancestors of the Yao people when they were young and had too much hormone secretion. If "robbing a marriage" were placed today, it would be robbery and kidnapping, and "climbing a building" is even more...
The behavior of thieves.
But now the Yao people combine these two customs, and they are full of new youthful vitality.
Today, on the day of "robbing marriages", except for those girls who are already famous and married, other girls have become targets in the eyes of young men who have not yet found their girlfriends. On this day, they can openly fight for them.
Girlfriends, they don’t find men themselves, so it’s strange that they have to sleep with each other, so let God decide. Citizens enjoy the freedom of marriage, which is a matter stipulated by law, but when it comes to the Yao people, they can do it according to their own characteristics
.This is why the person in charge in the village can maintain this custom of "robbing marriages" to this day.
Among so many girls, beautiful girls have long been known clearly by many young men.
Those young men know all the beautiful girls in the village very well, and they secretly spread various lists, such as the top ten beauties of girls who have no masters, the top ten beauties of girls who have masters, and the list of the top ten beauties of girls who have masters.
Comprehensive list...
Among these lists, there is a girl named Sun Miaomiao who has successfully occupied the top of each major list, giving her a feeling of not being too cold at the top.
And this house called Sun Miaomiao has become the focus of many young men climbing stairs.
"These days, I run 20 kilometers a day to exercise and memorize a folk song every day to increase the mood. This time, I, Su Desheng, must win Miao Miao."
"Su Desheng, don't be wishful thinking here. Do you think that only one person has exercised and memorized a few folk songs? Everyone, tell me, have we exercised?"
They worked in the fields every day and quickly answered: "Yes!"
