The first day of the Lunar New Year.
Still drunk, Mu Achen, in accordance with propriety, took Amo and Arui to participate in the Miao ancestral worship ceremony in Heiwu Village.
Three days before the Lunar New Year, the Miao people would visit their neighbors to offer New Year's greetings.
In the Miao language, New Year's greetings are called "duiyang".
These days, the Miao people have many taboos.
One should not go up the mountain to chop firewood, sweep the floor, blow air, cook raw food, or pour water before leaving the house, etc., in order to ensure good fortune.
Miao women are also not allowed to do needlework or similar tasks.
Of course, there are taboos, but also activities.
Each village has a variety of activities, such as Lusheng dance, bullfighting, men and women singing folk songs in antiphonal style, and bride snatching.
Another example is drinking in groups while visiting other villages.
Of course, when it comes to girls and Miao men who pledge their love by singing folk songs to each other, it is not customary for men and women in the same village to sing love songs to pledge their love.
This demonstrates the importance the Miao people place on traditional etiquette.
Those in the same village are all brothers and sisters; they only sing love songs when they go to other villages.
In other words, as long as they are not from the same village, but even from the same branch of the family, they can still marry.
Mu Achen had a blast these past three days, but his activities were mostly confined to the Black Miao branch.
To the left of Heiwu Village, nestled among a series of mountains, lie dozens of Miao villages, all belonging to the Hei Miao branch.
Wherever Mu Achen took Amo, he was immediately drunk by the girls.
Even the young men from various villages wouldn't let him off the hook.
As for Amo, these days she has been participating in various activities in different villages as a daughter-in-law of the Black Miao branch, rather than appearing as a holy woman.
So the girls took the opportunity to get Ah Mo drunk.
Miao Lang, Mu Achen's younger brothers-in-law of the same generation, even joked with Amo.
This is a rare opportunity!
Of course, only the younger brother-in-law can joke with his sister-in-law; the elder brother-in-law and other elders absolutely cannot.
On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Achen stormed into the Miao village called "Black Wind," a branch of the Black Miao people, and threatened to sweep the entire village.
Finally, even his proud Nine-Yu Space seemed unable to withstand the repeated dilution of alcohol over several days and nights, and directly sent a warning signal to Mu Achen.
It seemed to be telling him, Mu Achen, you little brat, that's not how you use the Nine Realms Space.
At this moment, Mu Achen, who was already seven-tenths drunk, had knocked out at least a third of the Miao men in Black Wind Miao Village.
It should be noted that Heifeng Miao Village is one of the few remaining ancient villages of their Hei Miao branch.
This Miao village is located in the mountain valley east of Heiwu Village, next to a major tributary of the Qingque River.
Both the environment and the surrounding terrain are very unique.
The village has more than 500 households and a population of up to 3,000.
Today, Mu Achen has arrived with his wife, and the entire village is gathered at the Lusheng performance area to enjoy themselves.
Even the old witches and the elderly Miao man, who rarely go out, came.
The old witches of the Black Miao branch are quite formidable.
At this moment, they watched as their Miao man, Mu Achen, was drinking heartily in the crowd, getting drunk and then enjoying himself with the Miao dance moves.
Especially the Holy Maiden Amo, who, as a daughter-in-law of the Black Miao, sang and danced her way into the Black Miao family, and everyone was very proud of her!
But not long after, Mu Achen was pushed to the center of the Lusheng field by the brothers, who wanted him to sing a folk song for the Black Miao people, and it couldn't be one they had sung before.
Dazed and confused, Ah Chen forcibly diluted some of the alcohol again using the Nine You Space. As he watched the dark mass of Miao men and women welcoming him with dance moves, his mind started racing.
A moment later, they began to sing a folk song that was completely unfamiliar to the Miao people, but with a unique melody and catchy, simple lyrics.
The lyrics are roughly like this:
Mountains face mountains, rivers face rivers, Miao people love folk songs, during festivals there are many people, and the songs are sung by the little sister.
Singers value emotions, and friendships require sincerity. Folk songs express feelings, and many lovers are brought together by them.
…
When Mu Achen started singing, the brothers, sisters, and other young men around him found the mountain song quite interesting.
Even Amo, who was standing next to her, watched and listened with a smile.
This folk song is full of the characteristics and emotions of the Miao people.
The melody is also very special, as if it can make people feel the natural scenery of the Miao people.
They also brought with them the culture and customs of the Miao people!
In particular, as Mu Achen sang, he actually started making gestures along with the lyrics, because the lyrics he was singing were:
I invited my sister over to karaoke today; I sang and she joined in.
Big potatoes are poked upstairs, small potatoes are placed at the foot of the bed; if you can't get them, you snatch them with a stick, and then you serve each potato on the table.
…
At this moment, Mu Achen's actions immediately set the tone for the entire event.
but--
As soon as Mu Achen finished singing, he collapsed.
The two brothers quickly helped him to the campfire to rest.
"Miao'er, if you can't drink it, then don't drink it."
The grandmothers quickly came up; the specially made hangover soup had already been prepared.
Mu Achen drank several large bowls of wine and then sat on a small wooden stool. When the wind blew, the effects of the alcohol kicked in, and he felt terrible.
But it was awesome!
He had a great time, visiting many villages over the past three days. He just did whatever made him happy, and when he got drunk, Amo carried him home.
Forehead--
I didn't carry him the whole way; I carried him for a while and helped him along for a while.
"Miao'er, stretch out your hand."
As Ah Chen, still dazed, raised his hand, the old woman stabbed the web between his thumb and forefinger on his left hand a few times with something.
laugh--
He gasped in pain.
But strangely enough, a few seconds later he regained most of his senses, and his head didn't hurt as much as before.
