mountain god dance

There are high mountains in the southwest, and there are Yao Mingjian in the mountains.

The gods are invisible, and the eyes are full of clouds and smoke.

Baigu goes to the deep mountains, the road is blocked and long, and the eyes are full of clouds and smoke.

The wedding clothes are worn on the body, and the hands and feet are not easy to use. To pass from the younger sister's body to the own body, it is necessary to add two feet of cloth.

The day before yesterday, the sorceress instructed the old grandmothers to lengthen the hem of his clothes overnight and embroider them. This morning, they made them, put them on, combed his hair, and hurried him away.

His father didn't fall asleep for several nights in a row, and that day he sent him out of the village with cakes and bacon. He had no words all the way, and didn't know what to order before and after. It was like nonsense and superfluous.Only the two pairs of footsteps on the grass were distracted. When they reached the fast-moving ferry, the boatman was smoking and refused to go on the road.

"Wow, how big is the water, how to go, don't go."

His father thought it would be nice to keep his son for a few more days, but he was afraid that the sorceress would not allow him: "He is going to Daiye's mountain palace, and he will arrive in mid-July."

"That's the mountain god." The boatman lay on the sampan and couldn't get up, "pass here, let He Bo take you."

The two of them stared at the big river for a while and didn't know what to do. Turn back?Looking back, I still have to go, sooner or later, if I go late, the mountain god loses his temper, and planting seedlings has no effect.

Baigu took a step forward: "Uncle has been boating for many years, but I don't know which one is the rapids and undercurrents, why don't you come out today?"

The boatman glanced at him and sat up: "He Bo sealed off the water and made the carps and eels open their mouths to inform us that boats are not allowed at the ferry, and fishing boats are not allowed to enter within ten miles of the Li River."

Baigu: "Then you can drive me to Lishui ten miles away, and I will find a way to go."

His father teased him: "Otherwise forget about it today."

Ask the boatman again: "When will it be sealed?"

The boatman replied, "July [-]th."

His father clapped his hands: "It's bad, Hebo sealed the water for Daiye, we were a few days late, and we sealed it at the entrance of the village."

The boatman folded his arms and looked at the two of them: "It's not impossible, give me more money."

Baigu gave it up, and jumped on the raft to bid farewell to his father: "Go back, take my sister, she has been haunted by nightmares for the past few days, and she can't be left alone when she wakes up."

The boatman picked up the poles and pushed one of them away from the shore. His father watched him jolting away and getting smaller with the burden, and his heart tightened. Suddenly he remembered and shouted: "The rice is here take away!"

He jumped into the river with a splash, and the water immediately covered his thighs and his half-wet clothes. He stretched out his hand to deliver food to his son;

Bai Gu called: "Don't come, I can pick some fruits and fungi on the way and I won't die of starvation!"

The boatman stretched out his pole and tried to catch his father, but his father put the lunch box glove on the pole, crossed it from left to right, and then sank his head and dived into the river. Suddenly, there was no one there.

"where did you go!"

Baigu grabbed the bag and knelt on the raft to look at the bottom of the water, and also dived with his head: "You are so old, why are you crazy!"

The Li water was turbulent, circling, pushing and resisting, constantly rising and falling and wet the raft. The boatman stabilized his balance skillfully, but he was still pushed far away.Fortunately, after a while, Baigu saw his father climbed onto the shore soaked, his chest heaving and panting, and he waved his hand.

"I'm leaving!" Baigu shouted, "Forget about me, find another mother for my sister, and give birth to a boy!"

The river carried him deeper, to the water of the water, the belly of the foothills.

Baigu's forehead was wet, and his face was covered with dripping water. He couldn't tell whether he was crying or not. He leaned on the raft to see the sky was overcast, and black clouds accumulated on the top of the snow-capped mountains.A few days ago, I came back from Luoyang with the money I saved to visit relatives, and then left, but I had to detour to the land bordering the gods on the other side.From the bustling eastern capital to the temples in the deep mountains.

The roar of the river was disturbing to the ears, and the boatman tried to drown out the noise and began to sing:

"There are high mountains in the southwest, and there are gods in the mountains,

If the gods are merciless and call you to pay tribute in exchange for safety,

Come from the east of the mountain to offer millet, and come from the west to offer beautiful jade,

From the north of the mountain come to offer cattle and sheep, and from the south of the mountain there is the fragrance of tea.

Ask me how to offer it to my family, there is a little girl named Caiyang..."

The positioning of the sky and the earth, the ventilation of the mountains and rivers, Baigu thought, as long as you leave the ferry, you can go up the mountain at any position.Unexpectedly, the boatman was timid and refused to go deep, for fear of Hebo's revenge, he took the silver and only traveled five miles before leaving him on Ting Island, leaving him to die.

Not only is there no mountain here, but there is also water everywhere. He waited for a day for the tide to fall, but it rose even more fiercely at night.The small island became narrower, the vegetation was submerged, and his footsteps were restricted every moment, which made him tremble a little while sleeping.

In the middle of the night, it even reached the point where he could barely bear one person with two feet. The river flowed him to despair. After thinking about his father and sister for ten hours, his heart was ashamed, his veins collapsed, and a gust of cold wind blew in with the miasma on both sides of the river. Trembling all over, he tilted his head and fell into it.

Immediately, he was continuously blown up and down by the undercurrent, making his face dizzy and his eyes dim.Baigu roared three times towards the sky with all his strength—the moon came out, and he pointed at the jade pot and cursed: "Why did you give birth to my people and then destroy my people! The sky is not fair, and the earth has no way!"

He must put all his energy into cursing, even if the water rolls up and the mountain falls down.

At that time, a light boat happened to pass by, and the oil lamp hanging on the bow was like a fire in a dream. Hearing his call, he turned around and called out, "But someone fell into the water?"

The man's voice was loud and strong, and it seemed that the sound of the river was much quieter. Bai Gu ignited the hope of living, stretched out his hand to slap the water surface, and shouted anxiously: "Here, boatman, people are here!"

The speed of the light boat was extremely fast and swift. When passing by, he was pulled onto the boat by a powerful arm, and he was completely soaked. Fortunately, he didn't choke on much water. He rested for a while and drank a few sips of the boatman's rice wine , gradually slowed down.

"Little brother, why did you fall into the water here?"

The boatman took him a dry towel to wipe his face, "There is no way to go to the village or to the store, so the boat capsized?"

Baigu saw that he was wearing a short jacket and a bamboo hat, with only the lower half of his face exposed, and thought he was a fisherman fishing at night, so he told him about being left behind.

The corners of the boatman's mouth tightened: "Is there such a thing? The water is sealed for safety. If it's an emergency, just pray for sacrifices. Why push people into the pit and blame He Bo? This man is so bad gone."

He asked again: "Where are you going, little brother, but you are on the way."

Seeing his straightforward speech, Baigu said frankly: "Looking for Daiye in the deep mountains."

The boatman fell silent, and only then did he take a closer look at his strange attire: he was wearing a red shirt, and the outer shirt was black cotton cloth embroidered with colorful sparrow wood branches, and a pair of silver bracelets, like a married bride.Ask him: "Why do you look for Taiye?"

"Jiqing, a villager, signed my younger sister's name, and I will do it for her." Baigu lowered his head, and replied, "Your younger sister is only good enough to tie her hair, and she is childhood sweetheart with her neighbors, so she is pitiful."

The boatman smiled and braced his waist: "Well, this kindness makes people sigh.

But although the little brother is handsome and handsome, he is a masculine man. I am afraid that the mountain god will not behave well, which will make him angry, and the people in your village will be in trouble. "

Baigu blushed, and said in a low voice: "I stayed in Luoyang for three years to study cooking, cooking and passing dishes in restaurants full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. I saw a lot of things, and since then I know that men can do it too."

"Oh?" The boatman was a little interested, "How can you tell me?"

"This, this...don't make fun of me, the boatman."

Baigu dodged, and chatted nasty things if he didn't want to meet, "If you are on the same road, put me at the foot of the mountain, and I will go up the mountain by myself."

"You don't know how far the mountain temple is and how many roads you have to walk."

The boatman took off his hat and threw it into the water, and the water swam away with his hat on. He squatted in front of him and said:

"And, what can a man do, I really want to know."

The boatman's skin was slightly tanned, his black hair was tied up, leaving a strand hanging down the side of his face, his nose was high and his brows were long, his face was handsome, his eyes sparkling, but his eyes were sapphire blue like a deep river.

Baigu had never seen such a person in Chang'an, and he thought he might have encountered a ghost, so he hurriedly bowed before saying: "The god wants to test my sincerity for the God of Mount Daiye? I feel reluctant to go up the mountain now. , but willingly and sincerely, willing to serve the left and right for dispatch from time to time, and will never regret it.”

The boatman smiled, and his fingers slid across his still young face, pinching his chin gradually and gradually: "Send? How can you have such a beautiful idea, be careful that you will be eaten, there will be no bones left, don't go."

This man was tall and strong, and his fingers were not delicate, yet he felt as cool as water.

"No, even if it's difficult, even if the bones are broken, you must complete the entrustment in the village."

"You keep the promise so much, the mountain god may not appreciate it." Near him, he breathed into Baigu's ear: "It's better for you to believe in me and follow me."

Baigu's heart beat wildly, as if he had been bewitched, he looked into his eyes and asked, "Where is Shangxian going?"

"You don't want to see the world? The mountains will never move here, but the water can take you to five lakes and ten lakes. You are free and at ease!"

Baigu has many things on his mind: "What will happen to my village, the tea garden is plagued by insects, the crops are not abundant, my father, my sister..."

The boatman held his face in his hands and said in a persuasive manner: "They gave you up, don't you understand? If you show reluctance, you are also giving up on you. If you go back to the village, you will be beaten to death, and if you go up the mountain, you will be eaten. Who cares about you?" Life and death, so pitiful."

Baigu was flooded with water for a day, and I felt so deeply.Originally, my body was damp and cold, but now I feel the water is very warm, warming my skin and my heart under the clothes.The river was also quiet, like leaves rustling quietly, listening to their voices.The moonlight is beautiful, and the cold light covers the earth, but the water surface shatters its thousand-year cold color.

"How do you call Shangxian?" Baigu asked softly.

"My name is Baigu, and a hundred mu of land means good grain. The year I was born coincided with a catastrophe, and I couldn't have enough to eat."

"My name is Jindian, not Shangxian."

The boatman replied, he let go of the thin Baigu and stood up, took off his coarse coat and stood on the river surface, the light swirled and danced, reflecting his skin glowing, and the blue-red sea python pierced on his shoulder and arm.

"I'm He Bo, who nurtures water and soil, so it's the same if you follow me."

He stretched out his hand: "Bride, will you come with me?"

The light boat has sailed through three mountains and five ridges, and arrived at a small bay at the corner of the mountains.

Jin Dian changed into a large cloak embroidered with horizontal waves and led him ashore. Herbs were all over the shore, and the water lilies glistened, and a few wild horses flicked their tails in the distance in the night.

"The clothes are wet."

Jin Dian's lips were almost attached to his eyebrows, exhaling hot air to help him take off his outer shirt, the fabric was astringent, so he had to force himself, "Why is it so tight?"

"My sister changed her clothes..." Baigu's neck was red, and he pressed his fingers: "Why is He Bo in such a hurry, can you wait until tomorrow..."

"I have been walking on the river for more than a month. I am lonely and have not seen anyone for a long time."

Jin Dian hugged him, wanting to kiss his thin and white neck:

"Sometimes the shore is bustling with weddings and marriages, but I can only watch the red lights drifting past the door, and the only rice wine I can drink is with me."

Baigu's heart was flustered and his body was hot, but he still thought: "The Lishui River runs through the south of the border, and the fishermen on both sides of the strait bow down to the source of the southwest every day. Where can you find a woman, He Bo is lying to me."

The man laughed and teased him: "Little smart, can you be more confused."

He poured Baigu into the vanilla and pressed it on him, wanting to taste him, Baigu said again: "He Bo! Listen to me, don't be impatient about men's affairs."

"Baigu can just call me by my name, there is no need to be taboo. After tonight, you and I will be husband and wife."

Baigu didn't feel it was right until the end of the day, why did he listen to this man so easily, the mountain god protected his village from being plagued by insects, and from being affected by drought, no matter whether this man is a real Hebo or not, it doesn't help... …

He was kissed.

Like lying on clean white sand, with pearls in it.

"Then tell me, what should I do." Jin Dian asked him softly, "Tell me what you have seen."
