PDLP Chapter 118: The marriage between the eagle and the eagle!
Chapter 118: The marriage between the eagle and the eagle!
Hearing Ling'er's words.
Only then did Qin An understand what had happened during the day.
Ling'er asked him to lie and say that this was not his first time in Qiang City, so that Qin An could pretend to be her brother and make his stepmother give up! To avoid being married to his stupid brother who had no blood relationship with him.
Among the relationship nicknames of the Qiang people.
A'ge is equivalent to a beloved brother or lover among the Han people.
In other words.
Ling'er didn't want to marry the stupid son her stepmother brought with her...that's why she wanted to escape from Qiang City.
But I saw Ling'er jumping around.
Qin An felt...that she deeply loved her hometown.
"Are there any legends about your Qiang City? For example... have any elders told you that there are ancient tombs around Qiang City?" Qin An asked.
"Ancient tomb?"
Ling'er had a pensive expression on her face.
Not out of necessity.
Qin An would never ask Ling'er.
But he had seen the mountains on both sides along the way on the bus, and even just now in the dark, Qin An was looking at the mountains and rivers around Qiang City.
But Qin An discovered...
The mountains near Qiang City are all very ordinary mountains.
Not only is there not even a hint of spiritual energy at all.
Even the hillside is filled with large and small electric poles and high-voltage power towers. If there were an ancient tomb underneath, it would have been discovered by the National Geological Survey Team long ago.
"Brother Qin An...why are you asking this?" Ling'er asked a little puzzled.
however.
Qin An simply said, "Actually, I'm a tomb robber! I came to your Qiang City this time to find ancient tombs and make a fortune!"
The voice just fell.
The atmosphere between the two became tense.
After a while.
Ling'er laughed like a silver bell, "Hahahaha! Brother Qin An, please stop teasing Ling'er! There's no tomb robber as handsome as you in this world!"
Hear the words.
Qin An was a little helpless!
He was just telling the truth.
I didn't expect that Ling'er would expel me from the thief group...
Who the hell can I talk to?
"Well... but there shouldn't be any ancient tombs near our Qiang City, right? I don't know the specific situation! But our Qiang people have an ancestor who is nearly a hundred years old! She might know something!" Ling'er said after thinking for a moment.
Hear this.
Qin An nodded.
He has already reached the limit of observing, smelling, asking and feeling.
If he still can't find the Yinxu Ancient City, then he will have to resort to some special means.
"There's no time to lose! Let's go!"
The two walked for nearly ten minutes.
Suddenly, there was a bright fire in front of them. The bonfire was shining brightly under the night sky. There was a sound of gongs and drums around them, and the two of them could hear the singing of boys and girls.
Most of the words are incomprehensible.
It should be the tone of the Qiang people's own language.
The song was unexpectedly brainwashing. For a moment, Ling'er, who was walking beside Qin An, couldn't help but hum.
The two walked side by side into the area where the Kediao party was held.
The crowd, which was originally chattering, suddenly became quiet for a moment.
"Huh? Isn't that the girl from the Hua family? Why is she walking with another man?"
"Yes, yes...Hua Ling is the prettiest girl in Qiang City! I was even saying I'd find a wife for my son this year... Such a beautiful girl! If I could marry her to my son, wouldn't he be so filial to me?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Liu family's daughter-in-law! Just stop talking! This Hua family girl was prepared for their silly son! How could it be your son's turn?"
"Oh! I was just joking! Who doesn't know her stepmother's methods? Speaking of which, that young man is quite handsome... If any of you girls like him, you can ask the clan leader to act as a matchmaker!"
.......
The chatter of middle-aged women rang in my ears.
Qin An didn't care.
He found a vacant seat and sat down, then closed his eyes to rest. He had only one purpose in attending this Ke Diao evening party, which was to find the old man in the Qiang tribe who knew the location of the Yinxu Ancient City!
Then ask them about the location of the tomb!
however.
Hua Ling, who was sitting next to Qin An, had a rather ugly expression on her face.
at this time.
"The clan leader is here!"
A drooping duck voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Subsequently.
An old woman who was nearly a hundred years old, supported by several old ladies, walked tremblingly to the platform and sat down.
Everyone stood up and shouted, "Master Chief, you have arrived! We are deeply honored!"
what?
Qin An's face was full of black lines.
Is this the ascension to the throne?
At the foot of Shennongjia, only Qin An was sitting there carefree and motionless, as if he was in another world.
He looked at the old woman on the platform calmly.
Thinking about how to ask for the exact location of Yinxu Ancient City later.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Qin An actually discovered that the old lady, the clan leader, who was sitting on the high platform, was also looking at him.
After a while.
"No need for formalities! The auspicious time has arrived! Please invite the auspicious beast to defeat the eagle!"
A middle-aged woman standing next to the old lady who was the clan leader shouted.
The voice just fell.
A auspicious beast called Ke Diao, which looked like a Qilin, was carried by eight strong men. It was black and white and had nine tails behind it.
It is carved entirely from clay.
Eight strong men worked together to place the auspicious beast Ke Diao on Shennongjia.
"Men and women over 18 who are unmarried, please come to the foot of Shennongjia! Pull a wooden stick of your choice from the mouth or tail of the auspicious Ke Diao!"
The voice just fell.
A group of boys and girls who had just turned eighteen walked forward slowly, appearing hesitant on the surface but actually ecstatic in their hearts.
This Ke Diao evening party is also known as Ke Diao Marriage.
Men draw the wooden sticks from the mouth of the auspicious beast Ke Diao, and women draw the wooden sticks from the nine tails of the auspicious beast Ke Diao.
It means one in nine!
After the draw is completed.
The man and woman will stand in corresponding positions according to the numbers on the wooden sticks in their hands, 1 to 1, 2 to 2...
If both men and women are satisfied with each other.
There is no need to leave, just stand where you are, and the auspicious beast Ke Diao will bless them with marriage.
A boy and a girl who are successfully matched.
The parents of both the bride and groom can then prepare the wedding banquet!
After all, in the Qiang people's concept.
A marriage blessed by the auspicious beast Ke Diao cannot be violated!
"Brother Qin An... do you want to come and draw lots too?" Hua Ling said, blinking her big eyes.
But Qin An shook his head.
He is not keen on matters between men and women.
Moreover, the purpose of his trip to Qiang City was the Yinxu Ancient City, not a chance encounter.
"But the clan leader is already very weak! She won't stay here for long! Only men and women who have drawn lots will come before the clan leader to receive her blessing for marriage!"
What Hua Ling meant was...
Only Qin An finished drawing the lot.
Only then can you talk to the patriarch about the ancient tomb.
Ok?
So does this lot have to be drawn?
After taking another look at the old lady, the clan leader, on the high platform, Qin An felt that he really needed to draw a wooden stick.
He has extremely good hearing!
He heard that the people on the platform were urging the ancestor to just show his face and leave!
But the old woman insisted on giving her blessings to the newlyweds!
Say a few words before you leave!
