Chapter 8 Destiny to meet each other from thousands of miles (4)
"The two heroes descended to earth like divine weapons, saving the lives of all my tribesmen. Lao Ke led all my tribesmen to express their highest gratitude to the two benefactors!" An old man wearing three-color indigenous clothes walked up to Shi Lang and the woman and led all the tribesmen to bow to the bows and bows of all the tribesmen on the scene. It seemed that he should be the leader of all the tribesmen.
"Old man, please get up quickly. You are still kneeling down to our young people at this age. You really killed us." Shi Lang leaned over and helped the elder up.
"It's a big deal, so why bother to ask me. Everyone, please get up quickly." The woman also hurried to the kneeling tribe members and helped them up one by one.
"Although the two benefactors are young, their actions just now show their wisdom and courage, and they are not ordinary people. We, the people of the ancient Yue, have always been grateful for their kindness. Tonight, as the patriarch, I will lead all the clan members to thank the two benefactors." The patriarch said to Shi Lang and the woman.
"Old man, I'm so embarrassed. I deceived you just now. We are not from the government, but we are just passers-by who happened to pass by here and wanted to come to your village to stay." Shi Lang said to the patriarch.
"However, old man, you don't have to worry. All the robbers have been controlled. If you send someone to report to the government tomorrow, they will send troops to arrest the robbers. The government has been arresting this group of robbers." The woman continued Shi Lang's words.
"Don't worry. There are two heroes here, what else can we worry about? Tonight, the two benefactors can drink and have fun here. I will then order people to call the girls back and prepare their food and drink. For all members of our tribe who are facing great disaster, the two are Guanyin Bodhisattvas who are saving the suffering and suffering, and descend to the earth." The patriarch still looked grateful.
The young girls in the clan were called out from their hiding place.
Delicious food was served; tempting rice wine was served; cheerful dances were started.
"My benefactor, let me toast the two benefactors with the highest respect on behalf of all the tribes." The patriarch said, and waved his hand behind him. Two young women in colorful ancient Yue costumes immediately walked up from behind the patriarch. They each held exquisite trays with three large glasses of fine wine in their hands. They walked up to Shi Lang and the woman and sang toasts:
"The flowers bloom in the mountains and the fragrance outside the mountains,
The distinguished guest came to us.
Holding osmanthus wine in both hands,
Dear friends, please come and taste it.
A glass of fine wine shows true feelings,
I wish our friendship will be higher and longer than that day.”
"Young Master, these three cups must be drunk." After the two toasted women sang the toast song, the woman whispered to Shi Lang.
"Then let's drink it." Shi Lang and the woman picked up the wine glass at the same time and drank three glasses of wine in turn.
"Oh, the two benefactors are really refreshing people. Our Guyue tribe is to go together. Come and bring wine to the two benefactors." Seeing Shi Lang and the two of them happily drank the wine, the patriarch showed an expression of great relief on his face. With his order, two young women each brought three glasses of wine to Shi Lang and the woman.
Shi Lang seemed to be intrigued, and he picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. The woman looked at Shi Lang, as if infected by Shi Lang's interest, and also picked up a glass of wine in front of him to drink it. The two of them drank the three glasses of wine in front of him again.
Shi Lang had an average drink, and after drinking six large glasses of fine wine, he felt a little dizzy. Looking at the three glasses of wine brought to him by the other two young women, Shi Lang couldn't help but look timid.
"Young master, is that okay?" the woman asked Shi Lang whispered.
"I can't hold on anymore." Shi Lang felt a little embarrassed.
"Old man, this friend of mine is a little overwhelmed. Let me drink it for him." The woman turned to the patriarch and said.
"well."
With the permission of the patriarch, the woman drank the three glasses of wine that Shi Lang should have been drinking and the three glasses of wine in front of him one by one.
"The benefactor is really huge, and I admire him. Come on, please take a seat, taste the special food made by our ancient Yue people and enjoy the girls' dance." The patriarch warmly invited Shi Lang and the woman to take the seat.
The girls in the clan were dancing happily around the bonfire.
"I wonder where the two benefactors' homes are?" asked the patriarch after taking his seat.
"I live in the capital, and this time I'm going to the local area to deal with some business matters."
“I’m a local.”
"Those two...?"
"It's like that. During the day, I encountered a landslide while walking in the mountains. This girl saved me. We both fell off the cliff, but fortunately there was nothing serious. When there was no way to go, we made a homemade raft to come here."
"That is to say, two benefactors live in the capital and the other live in the local area, but they appear at the same time in a place where the other party most needs to appear. What is this? This is called fate. The so-called meeting with fate thousands of miles away is this."
"Oh, old man. We just met!" The woman blushed and said coquettishly when she heard the clan leader's words.
"Yes, old man, we just met." Shi Lang also felt a little embarrassed.
"Ah, as the saying goes, marriage has been destined to be with heaven since ancient times. Old man is a man who has buried half a piece of land and never tells lies. The two benefactors raised their heads and asked me to take a good look."
Shi Lang and the woman raised their heads at the same time.
"Oh, the two benefactors are quite like husband and wife. I dare to assert that there will be a wonderful marriage waiting for the two benefactors in the future. I am here to congratulate them."
"Old man, stop talking..." After hearing the team leader's words, the woman shyly covered her face with her hands.
Shi Lang also made a big blush.
At this moment, several young women came over and invited Shi Lang to dance with the woman. The two of them were freed from the embarrassing situation.
"The doves are singing in the river island.
A beautiful lady is a gentleman.
The uneven watercress is flowing on both sides.
A beautiful lady, she is eager for it.
If you can't find anything, you can't wait and think about it.
Leisurely, tossing and turning.
Uneven watercress, pick them from left to right.
A beautiful lady, a friend of the piano and zither.
Uneven watercress, pick them up on the left and right.
A beautiful lady, bells and drums are played."
Accompanied by the beautiful and beautiful singing of the young girls in the clan, Shi Lang and the woman were holding hands and dancing happily around the bonfire. In the swaying dance, tenderness and sweetness were constantly conveying and blending in the two young hearts through their tightly held hands. Under the flashing bonfire, Shi Lang met the woman's eyes several times, and he found that this girl was really beautiful.
The next day, after breakfast, the clan leader led his clan members to send Shi Lang and the others to the small river at the foot of the mountain.
"Two benefactors, what Lao Ke said last night is not a joke. I hope you cherish this love and fate." At the moment of separation, the patriarch held Shi Lang's hand and said.
"Okay, old man, I've recorded it. Thank you for your kindness." Shi Lang said.
"Goodbye, old man. Please come back." The woman waved to everyone, and then boarded the canoe prepared by the patriarch for the two of them with Shi Lang.
The patriarch and his tribe waved goodbye to Shi Lang and the others who were slowly leaving on the canoe.
Under the operation of the boatman selected by the patriarch, the boat successfully passed through the downstream rapids and dangerous shoals and reached the lowest level of the river.
On the shore where a small pavilion stood, Shi Lang and the woman came ashore and returned along the same route.
The pavilion was called "Farewell Pavilion". After entering the pavilion from the shore, the woman stopped and said to Shi Lang: "Young Master, you can walk the main road ahead, it leads directly to Hangzhou. I want to walk the small road on the left."
"You and I have known each other, but I don't know the girl's name. I don't know if it's convenient to tell me." After a brief relationship, Shi Lang found that he had fallen deeply in love with the girl in front of him. At the moment of parting, he was a little reluctant to leave.
"Let's keep it secret for now. But... I believe that you and I will meet again later." The woman looked at Shi Lang's affectionate gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"Then... I'll leave you here. Please go first, girl." Shi Lang was a little disappointed.
"Okay, young master, the journey is good." The woman played a great blessing to Shi Lang, and then walked towards the path on the left.
Looking at the beautiful figure of the woman gradually fading away, Shi Lang felt lost.
