"Walking marriage?" Caishu was obviously taken aback, but when he saw the smile rippling on the corner of Dongyan's mouth, Caishu became bold... After all, Dongyan looked like a girl like her, so she Sticking out his tongue, "Could it be that the women in this village can choose a groom every night?"
"That's not all like that." Dongyan explained with a smile: "The so-called walking marriage system of the Mose people just doesn't have a general concept of marriage. As long as men and women in the clan are interested in each other, they can live together in the same room. Living together, if you feel that it is not suitable, you can separate freely and find the person you like. Those who hold grass branches are single Mosel women, and smearing the light yellow juice on a man's face is a gesture of respect to him. To express love, if the man also likes the woman, he will keep the grass juice, and if there is another person in his heart, he will erase the grass juice."
Hearing what Dongyan said, Luo Bei couldn't help but said: "The folk customs of the Mose people are really unique and completely different from the outside world. If such folk customs are outside, I'm afraid they will be regarded as corrupt customs and outrageous."
"Most of the world's etiquette, righteousness and shame are not fabricated by some people in the world." Dongyan said: "The folk customs of the Mose people are actually not a way to survive and reproduce. The Mose people have been fishing and hunting for generations. To make a living, I don’t know how to farm, and these mountains are poor and bad, if it weren’t for this method of stimulating fertility, the clans that lived in the mountains for generations would have perished long ago, how could they live and work in peace here.”
Luo Bei nodded. He knew that many Miao and Yi tribes in Luofu Mountain also had many peculiar customs, so he didn't take it seriously. He just glanced at the figures beside the campfire, and Luo Bei was a little surprised: "Dongyan, why does it seem There are many people who are not from the Moselen tribe?" Luo Bei glanced at it, and saw that among the hundreds of people gathered around a dozen piles of bonfires, there were dozens of people whose clothes and attires were similar to those of the rest of the Moselen tribe. The dress is completely different. Some are also dressed in the costumes of some ethnic minority tribes, and a few are dressed in the costumes of the Middle-earth states.
"Oh, it's nothing unusual." Dongyan explained: "This 'Ye Sipler' in the local dialect means a place blessed by heaven and rich in fish. There used to be a chieftain of the Zhuang nationality who liked to eat the lake fish here. And here is located between the two mountains, and the winter is not cold, so every winter, the chieftain of the Zhuang nationality will come to this place, pitch a tent on the hillside, build a stove, and slaughter the fish directly by the lake after catching them. , or grilled or cooked, and later the chieftain of the Zhuang nationality did not even bring back the tents here, and directly stayed here and endured the guards, so as not to carry them back and forth. Ten years later, the chieftain of the Zhuang nationality was in a battle with foreigners He died in the disaster, and thousands of people from his family fled and scattered. Even the people who were stationed and guarded the tents on weekdays also dispersed. Later, some Mose people who lived on fishing heard about this. The fish in the lake are so delicious that they migrated here and settled here. When the Moselen tribe settled here, the leather tents left by the chieftains played a lot of roles. You can see that the upper floors of many stilted buildings here are still directly It is a black leather roof. In fact, the people of the Mosel tribe cut the tent and added a layer below it to make it into a stilted building. The Mosel tribe is very hospitable. In the past hundred years, there have been fewer fish in the lake here. Quite a few, but this 'Night Sippler' has instead become the foothold and gathering place of many herb pickers, hunters, and passing barbarians. Some traders even come here from far away to buy some precious furs and medicinal materials."
"Sure enough."
Luo Bei took a look and saw that among the densely packed stilted buildings, the top half of many stilted buildings were all black, with a shiny leather. And the pine wood under the stilted buildings is very decayed, it looks like it has been at least a hundred years old. It seems that the tent leather of the chieftain of the Zhuang nationality was tanned quite well at the beginning. Although the moisture in the valley is thick, it is still not bad after a hundred years.
While speaking, Tang Dongyan had already landed on a main road in the village that was facing the open space in the village. Luobei knew that this was to avoid disturbing these Mose people who were singing and laughing, and knew that Dongyan must have his own calculations, so he didn't say much, and fell by Dongyan's side.
"this….."
As soon as I fell into the cottage, I saw black fishing nets hanging everywhere on the stilted building, some totem poles with strange faces and patterns were inserted here and there, and there were many fish bones of big fish along the road, like It's for decoration. And what made Caishu a little embarrassed was that she soon heard the charming voices of men and women making love from some stilted buildings.
"Later, if a woman of the Moselenian tribe comes to apply grass juice on your face, you have to remember to wipe off the grass juice. If you don't wipe off the grass juice, and don't fall in love with the woman, you will be considered to look down on Mo Women from the selenium tribe, teasing the women from the selenium tribe will cause public outrage, and I won’t be able to help you then.” Dongyan explained these words to Luobei, then smiled again, and said, “But if you like it, then It’s okay for the Moselen women. Anyway, after one night, if you want to leave, the Moselen women will not stop you or get angry.”
"You still want to make fun of me." Luobei said with some dumbfounding, "I don't think anyone will take a fancy to me, but I'm afraid that those men from the Mose tribe will scribble on your face after seeing you so beautiful. It’s too late to even wipe it off.”
Dongyan smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about that. The custom of the Mose people is that women take the initiative, and men don't come out to smear grass juice. Besides, there are Nalan Ruoxue and Caishu, so it's not my turn." .”
"Whoa... whoa... whoa..."
Just as he was saying that, a strong man dressed in gray oilcloth, short-sleeved shorts, and dressed in Moselenian ethnicity seemed to be returning to the stilted building from the open space to pick up things. He happened to see Dongyan and Luobei on the mountain road. The man was stunned at first, then his face showed joy, and he yelled for a while in a dialect that Luobei and others could not understand at all, which sounded like frogs to Luobei, Caishu, and Nalan Ruoxue, and then suddenly he was overjoyed. Turned around and ran like crazy, yelling.
"He said that? What is this for?" At this moment, Luo Bei, Nalan Ruoxue, and Cai Shu were a little dumbfounded.
"Let's go." Dongyan smiled, and continued to walk towards the spacious open space surrounded by densely packed stilted buildings, with dozens of bonfires piled up, "He just yelled, Sister Fairy is here again , and this time brought two fairy sisters."
"this…."
Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue, and Caishu glanced at each other, and quickly followed Dongyan. They had just walked past two huge wooden totem poles, and had just walked into the open space when they heard a burst of cheers .
"Wow... wow... wow", almost all the Moselen people uttered a unique sound.
"They are welcoming us." An Dongyan explained in a low voice to Luobei Waitengre, and then spoke the same dialect as the Moselen people. While talking, I saw An Dongyan stretching out his finger again, and a crystal bead flew out. The bead flew directly to the top of several large water tanks on one side of the open space in the cottage, and scattered away with a puff. Come, it turned into several streams of water, filling several water tanks in an instant.
"Wow...wow...wow" Almost all the people of the Moselen tribe jumped up happily, and the whole village was filled with cheers again. A strong aroma of wine wafted out, and Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue, and Caishu immediately reacted, and Dongyan seemed to have been prepared to condense a lot of fine wine liquid into a bead, and now he slammed it again It was turned into several cylinders of fine wine as a meeting gift to the Moselen people.
"Wow...wow...wow..." Amidst the cheers that shook the sky, a slightly dark and fat Moseman came out of the crowd, laughed and stroked his chest, and bowed to Dongyan, Luobei and others A salute. This slightly dark and chubby Moseman has black tattoos carved on his left and right cheeks, a few beads on his chin, a necklace made of fish bones and shells hanging on his chest, and his hair is tied up in a mess. heap.
The appearance of this Moselenian must be very ugly in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Luobei and others at the moment, he is very enthusiastic and kind, and judging from the expressions of the people around him, it seems to be Very respectful. "Who is this person? Could it be your father's friend, the shaman of the Moselen tribe?" Luo Bei asked softly while imitating Dongyan's hands touching his chest in return.
"This is not the shaman of the Moselen tribe, but Avasai, the patriarch of their Moselen tribe." Dongyan explained: "The shaman of the Moselen tribe is a woman, and was selected by the previous shaman since childhood, which is equivalent to The ascetic monks in our world don't participate in this kind of party." After saying a word, Dongyan and the chief of the Namose tribe, Awasai, started chatting in local language again.
Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue, and Caishu couldn't understand, they just smiled when they saw the fat black Mose chief and the cheering Mose people around him.
"Okay. Avasai has already sent someone to invite the shaman. The shaman lives in Houzhai, and it will take some time to go back and forth. Let's just wait here." After talking for a while, I saw the chief of the Moselen tribe Avasai turned around and went back to two Mose tribesmen to explain, and after An Dongyan explained to Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue and Caishu, some Mose tribesmen came to greet her one after another, pulling her and Luo Bei and others sat down on a bonfire.
There is no need for Dongyan to explain, Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue and Caishu can also tell that Dongyan must have been here many times before, and he is also deeply respected by the Mose people.
"No wonder so many Mose people cheered when you came. It seems that you will not only bring them gifts. And they are all looking forward to whether you will take a fancy to them and put a stain on their faces." Soon , Luobei saw that many young men of the Mose ethnic group deliberately dangled in front of Dongyan, either singing or dancing, trying to show their appearance.
"Ha ha." Hearing what Luo Bei said, Dong Yan suddenly smiled, "Luo Bei, do you still have time to worry about me? Take care of yourself, look, but someone is coming towards you."
Luo Bei was taken aback, and just when he raised his head, he saw at least five or six Mose women walking towards him with shy smiles.
