Qin Hai and the others had dinner in the Diaojiaolou. Unexpectedly, they saw them giving free clinics to the people in Qingwang Village. Grandpa sent someone to prepare a very sumptuous dinner for them.
All kinds of meat are served in huge porcelain bowls, which look like a hill. The oil and water are boiling and the aroma is fragrant. In addition, there are also many foods that are rare outside the mountains, such as bamboo rats, and some The little bugs are deep-fried, golden, crunchy and crunchy in the mouth, fragrant and delicious, and paired with the rice wine brewed by the people in Qingwang Village, Qin Hai really enjoyed this dinner.
Miao Qing was originally a girl from the Miao family. Not only was she not afraid of the bugs on the dining table, but she was very surprised and liked eating them very much. Although Shen Meng was not as surprised as Miao Qing, she did not reject them. Not only did she eat them, she also gave them to Qin Hai and the others. Explain the origin and medicinal value of these bugs.
Du Meiqi was the only one who turned pale with fright when she saw the pot of bamboo rats and the golden bugs. Not only did she not eat any of them, she almost vomited them out on the spot. In the end, she had no choice but to hide aside with the bowl in hand.
Qin Hai looked funny and deliberately chewed the bug until it was crunchy. Du Meiqi was so angry that she glared at him several times.
"Sister Shen, this rice wine is very good. You have worked hard today. Drink a few more glasses and you can sleep well at night." After eating the worms, Qin Hai helped Shen Meng pour the wine. They drank from porcelain bowls, and Qin Hai directly He poured most of the bowl for Shen Meng, and then poured half of the bowl for Miao Qing.
Shen Meng picked up the wine bowl, smelled it, and said with a smile: "This rice wine smells really good, but don't drink too much. You will easily get drunk if you drink too much. Don't forget, there is a Torch Festival event tonight. You can’t watch the fun when you’re drunk!”
Du Meiqi immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, there is a Torch Festival tonight. You are not allowed to get drunk, otherwise who will accompany me to watch it!"
Qin Hai immediately laughed, "Isn't it said that the Torch Festival is the Miao family's Valentine's Day? As long as you look at it correctly, no one will care about you even if you roll a grass nest immediately. You won't have to worry about being caught by any young man from the Miao family. Did you go to the grass house? I observed carefully today and it seems that many young men from the Miao family have that intention towards you, so you'd better be careful and don't become the wife of the Miao village by accident."
Du Meiqi's face changed after these words, and she said sarcastically: "They can't be so barbaric, can they?"
Shen Meng smiled and said: "No, the Miao family is very simple and will not mess around."
Du Meiqi glared at Qin Hai fiercely and retorted: "Did you hear that? Compared with the Miao family, you are the worst. So many Miao girls came to you for medical treatment today, are you ready to drag them into the grass? Nest?"
"Yes, do you have any objections?" Qin Hai asked nonchalantly.
"I -" Du Meiqi was so angry that she took a bite of green vegetables and turned her head away from Qin Hai.
Qin Hai smiled and turned around to ask Shen Meng: "Sister Shen, have you asked them about love/gu?"
"I heard from grandpa that the old man does not live in the stockade, but is on Niutou Mountain behind. When we see the villagers tomorrow, grandpa will send someone to take us to find him." Shen Meng pondered for a moment, and then said: "Listen They said that the old man seems to be a little withdrawn and not easy to get in touch with, so we will go and check the situation tomorrow."
"It's okay. If it doesn't work, we will find another way. Sister Shen, you have worked hard today, come here, I respect you!" Seeing that Shen Meng was a little embarrassed, Qin Hai was embarrassed to ask any more questions, picked up the wine bowl and asked Shen Meng The dream touched me.
Rice wine is extremely sweet. It smells not only of rice and wine, but also of a special medicinal aroma. It is very soft and smooth in the mouth. After drinking it, a warmth immediately pours out of the stomach, dispelling the coldness of winter. Jing, Shen Meng and the others tasted it briefly, but Qin Hai got excited about drinking. He drank several bowls of rice wine in a row, and by the time he had almost finished the entire jar of rice wine by himself.
After eating and drinking, there happened to be a noise outside. Du Meiqi immediately ran out to take a look, and then ran in excitedly and said: "The Torch Festival has begun, and many people are coming out holding torches!"
Several people immediately rushed out of the stilted building and saw that the entire village was filled with torches, laughter and laughter, and many children holding torches and running wildly throughout the village, making it very lively.
At this time, Ishida also came to the Diaojiaolou and invited Shen Meng, Qin Hai and the others to participate in the Torch Festival. Qin Hai and the others had this intention. After cleaning up briefly, they followed Ishida to the threshing floor in the center of Qingwang Village. .A lot of people have gathered here, and almost everyone has put on clean and beautiful clothes, especially the girls from the Miao family, who are wearing a lot of Miao family clothes. They are not only beautiful, but also make a very pleasant sound when they move around. .
In the middle of the threshing floor, three bonfires were burning brightly, making the whole threshing floor as bright as daytime. Everyone was talking and laughing around the bonfire, permeating a festive atmosphere. Qin Hai I noticed that the young Miao boys were standing on one side and the girls were standing on the other side. It seemed that they were really preparing for a love song duet.
Although Qin Hai had stayed in Sichuan Province for many years, this was his first time to participate in the Torch Festival. He looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, chatting and laughing with Shen Meng, and seemed quite leisurely and contented.
Not long after, the long-awaited duet of love songs finally began. Although I couldn’t quite understand what they were singing, listening to this original singing style felt both novel and fun. Du Meiqi next to her had already picked it up. When I took out my mobile phone to take pictures, it seemed like I was going to post them to my friends circle again to make all my relatives and friends envious and jealous.
After the love song duet, almost everyone danced around the bonfire. Qin Hai and Shen Meng were also pulled in by the enthusiastic Miao family, and danced a simple and cheerful dance around the bonfire.
Qin Hai noticed that while dancing, people left from time to time, and those who left were young boys and girls. Often with just a glance, they would understand each other and leave the crowd, walking back and forth into the darkness. Others were interested in They just smiled at each other and didn't pay much attention when they left. It seems that the rumors of rolling grass stacks are not false. The Torch Festival in Miao Village is indeed a veritable Valentine's Day for these young people, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
Qin Hai was about to tell Shen Meng what he had discovered. When he looked back, he unexpectedly found that Shen Meng, who had been following him, was not there. Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were still dancing excitedly in front of him.
Qin Hai quickly pulled Miao Qing and Du Meiqi out and asked, "Have you seen Sister Shen? She's gone!"
Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were shocked. Miao Qing immediately went to communicate with the Miao girl behind Qin Hai and learned that Shen Meng had just left not long ago and headed southeast.
Qin Hai and the others hurriedly searched for it, but they found no trace of Shen Meng until they found the edge of the village. Then they turned back to the stilted building and searched around, but found nothing. When they returned to the threshing floor, Shen Meng Still didn't show up.
