Chapter 1089 Bonfire Party

At eight o'clock in the evening, when the night fell on this Dai town, the joy of the day did not disappear. Surrounded by countless Dai boys and girls on the open grass, each of them is dressed in a grand manner, with happy smiles on their faces. Those Dai girls are a little shy.

Tonight can be said to be a grand ceremony, something that the Dai boys and girls have been looking forward to for a long time. On this day, you can confess to the person you like without any scruples, and you can express yourself in front of them to your heart's content, maybe you will get the favor of your heart. This kind of ethnic minority village obviously lacks the dark side of human nature of those bustling cities, and there is not much intrigue.

In the middle of the grass, a bonfire was burning, and the fire illuminated every smiling face. Men and women sat around the bonfire. Next to it, there are also several piles of bonfires burning, on which are leaning on the fragrant food. Every woman concentrates on roasting the food in her hands, and can cut off the best piece of meat on it and give it to the man she admires.

The most romantic thing is bag loss, which is often a special game for unmarried young Dai people. "Bao" is a keepsake symbolizing love. It is carefully made by girls of Dai nationality with flower cloth, and it contains cotton seeds. The four corners of the bag are decorated with colorful flower spikes. When throwing bags, men and women stand in a row on the green lawn. First, the Dai girl throws the bag to the young man, and the young man then throws the bag to the girl, so as to convey feelings. In this way, the flower bags flew back and forth, and finally the emotional exchange reached a certain level, and the two parties quietly exited the bag throwing field, and went to find a quiet place to lean on each other and whisper.

Ye Qian was pulled over by Ruoshui early on, and found a place to sit cross-legged. Ruoshui didn't wear the ethnic minority costume she wore during the day, but changed into a long white dress, which completely showed her extraordinary and refined. Ye Qian couldn't help but look a little crazy.

"Brother Ye, what are you looking at?" Ruoshui blinked his eyes and asked playfully, with a little shyness and a slight smile in his eyes.

Slightly stunned, Ye Qian smiled awkwardly, turned his head hastily, and said, "No, I didn't see anything, I just think you are very beautiful tonight, just like a nine-day fairy."

"Really?" Ruo Shui said happily.

"Yeah!" Ye Qian nodded heavily and didn't speak any more. Eyes spread, looking for Jin Weihao's figure everywhere, finally found it among a group of people, Jin Weihao changed into a Dai costume, Ye Qian almost didn't recognize it. Thinking about it, Jin Weihao is a Manchu, which can be regarded as a minority. Although their ethnic atmosphere may be very different from that of the Dai, they still have some similarities after all. Seeing these may remind him of his hometown. Feel it.

After two hosts, one male and one female, came on stage and said a few opening remarks, the bonfire party officially started. The men came forward enthusiastically, showing off their talents, singing and dancing, and everything. Although many of them sang the folk songs of the Dai nationality, Ye Qian couldn't understand them, but seeing the smiles on their faces, Ye Qian still felt very happy. Ruoshui on the side was extraordinarily excited, applauding non-stop, and humming a ditty along with it.

Ye Qian couldn't help turning his head to look at her, that flawless face was filled with the innocence and romance of a girl. The slightly raised lips were full of invisible temptation, Ye Qian even had the urge to go up and kiss her. The little girl seemed to sense Ye Qian's gaze, she turned her head, the smile on her face disappeared, and she suddenly became very quiet.

The two looked at each other like this, as if there were only the two of them in the whole world and the whole sky; as if time stopped flowing at that moment. Just like that, quietly, quietly watching.

"Can I invite you to dance?" A young man in national costume came over and politely extended his hand to invite Ruoshui. The two woke up with a start, and turned their heads away. Looking at the hand stretched out in front of her eyes, Ruoshui smiled sweetly and said, "Okay." After speaking, she got up and joined the dance group.

Ye Qian smiled slightly, the little girl seemed to never know how tired she was, the feeling just now still came to mind. That flawless face and those sparkling eyes seemed to be telling her innocence and romance.

"Can I invite you to dance?" A girl walked up to Ye Qian, with a bit of shyness on her face, she said politely.

"Yeah!" Ye Qian nodded slightly, got up and took the girl's hand and walked towards the dancers. In the group dance, people were jumping happily, Ye Qian also completely let go of the usual disturbances, and completely blended into this atmosphere.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Ye Qian and Ruoshui gradually approached. As if they had a tacit understanding, the two joined hands and danced heartily with the crowd.

Then, the dance was over, and everyone sat down in their original places. The men got up one after another and gave the flowers in their hands to the girls they liked, and the girls also gave the baked food to the men they liked the most. After a while, the food in Ye Qian's hand could no longer be piled up. He looked up at Jin Weihao, who was even more exaggerated than himself, and Ye Qian couldn't help but wryly smiled.

Ruoshui giggled, stuffing the food in Ye Qian's hand into his mouth non-stop, as if very happy. "Aren't you afraid of gaining weight after eating so much?" Ye Qian rolled her eyes and said.

"Am I fat?" Ruoshui asked, blinking her eyes.

"Not fat now, just right." Ye Qian said with a smile.

Rolling his eyes, Ruoshui didn't speak again. Ye Qian originally wanted to say "Thin ones look good, fat ones are easy to use", but he swallowed the words.

The next thing is the bag throwing activity, Ruoshui wiped her mouth in a hurry, pulled Ye Qian up and ran away. Ye Qian was at a loss for a while, followed up, and asked in surprise, "Where are we going?"

"Treasure hunt." Ruo Shui said with a smile.

Ye Qian was stunned for a while, and said blankly: "Treasure hunting? What kind of treasure are you looking for?"

"Come with me and you'll know." Ruoshui said. Not allowing Ye Qian to object, Ruoshui pulled Ye Qian straight forward, and after a while, he arrived in front of a cave. The uproar in the ear has gone, and there is only silence, and even a little terror.

"What is this place?" Ye Qian asked.

"This is the place where the Dai people enshrine their great gods. It has always been a forbidden place for the Dai people. Except for their patriarch, who is responsible for visiting the tribute every once in a while, no one can enter." Ruoshui said, "This is the tradition of the Dai people. They believe in Buddhism."

"What about you? You are not a member of the Dai nationality, how can you know so much about them? Besides, why are you here?" Ye Qian frowned slightly and said. He seemed to feel that he was being led by the nose by this little girl, so he was naturally very unhappy. However, for some reason, he didn't even have the slightest intention to be angry with the little girl.

"Hehe, are you scared?" Ruoshui said, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Yeah!" Ye Qian nodded slightly, but didn't speak.

"Stingy ghost, what can I lie to you? I'm just scared alone. I heard that the Dai people worship not only the Buddha, but also their village ghosts. They look terrible. You let me go in alone, a little girl, you Don't worry?" Ruoshui said aggrievedly.

Ye Qian couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "Why are you afraid to go in? This is a forbidden area, so you can't see those two clear characters, right? If they know about it, it will be miserable for the two of us." It's gone." Ye Qian pointed to a stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, on which were clearly engraved the words "forbidden place".

Ruoshui pouted aggrievedly, snorted, and said, "Forget it if you don't go, I'll go in by myself." After speaking, he walked towards the cave, but when he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped involuntarily. It still looks a little scared. Taking a deep breath, Ruoshui stepped in as if mustering up his courage. Watching Ruoshui's figure slowly disappear into the darkness, Ye Qian couldn't help but wryly smiled, and followed him in.

He didn't know why, why he trusted this little girl so much, why he worried about her for no reason. Inside the cave, it was pitch black, and the little girl was clearly prepared, she took out the flashlight, and suddenly, a halo of light spread out. This halo seemed to have a lot of power, and it made people feel relieved immediately. The opening of the cave was not very big, and there was only a little gap between the two of them walking side by side. Ruoshui turned his head to look at Ye Qian, and snorted angrily, as if he was still dissatisfied with Ye Qian's rejection just now.

Ye Qian smiled wryly, and didn't bother with him. The further you go in, the more spacious the road is, and there is also a little light inside. Neither of them made a sound, and the cave seemed very quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary, as if they could hear the heartbeats of both sides. Ye Qian suddenly felt like a thief.

After walking about three or four hundred meters, a very spacious hall appeared in front of me, brightly lit, with candles lit inside, almost illuminating the entire cave. In the center of the hall, there is a Buddha statue similar to the Buddha, with hands folded and a kind face. On the other side, there are two yaksha-like figures enshrined, with hideous and terrifying faces, holding very strange weapons in their hands, and their fierce expressions are ready to come out, it is almost lifelike.

Ruoshui's body trembled obviously, and leaned against Ye Qian's arms involuntarily, apparently frightened by these two ferocious stone statues.

Ye Qian couldn't help but gasped, he was quite frightened by the terrifying atmosphere in the cave, but Ye Qian is a person who has seen the world after all, so after calming down a little, he will be at ease. Looking at the three stone statues in front of him, Ye Qian asked, "What kind of gods are these three?"
