When the old man left, the two sisters really moved a stool to the edge of the melon rack to embroider and watch out for people and birds. Next to noon, the sun was burning, and the two sisters were sweating. The two sisters looked up and saw two big cucumbers dripping with water, and moved their hearts. Eric said, "Dad, that's strange. Cucumbers in the garden were not unusual in previous years, so I wanted a big basket of gifts. These two old cucumbers are so precious this year that they have to stay late during the day. "
Allergard said, "I'm afraid my father wants to keep the melon seeds and I'm afraid he'll break them."
Arik said, "No, there are many kinds of melons. Dad put them in the bamboo basket upstairs. "
Allergard said, "that's strange. Later, when it was cold outside, dad stayed in the melon shed. If he is ill, it will be out of luck. "
Eric thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't we just eat the melons so that Dad doesn't have to worry about these two melons every day?"
Allergard said, "Dad likes these two melons so much that they are old-fashioned. If he doesn't see the melon when he comes back, I'm afraid he won't be scolded? "
Eric said, "We are the pride of my father. What does he want to give us? " What's strange about two cucumbers? Say a few words. "So the two sisters picked two cucumbers and ate them.
Lao Luo hurried home before the sun went down. Before entering the house, the old man went to have a look in the garden. He rummaged around and didn't see any cucumbers in the melon leaves. Angry and anxious, the old man rushed to the door and shouted, "Where are the cucumbers in the garden?" ! The sound was like thunder, which startled the two girls. They secretly looked over and saw that Dad's face was blue and his mouth was crooked, and he didn't dare to say anything. Old Yang Luo rushed to Alec's side, grabbed his daughter and said, "Are you deaf? Dumb? I asked where the cucumber went! "
The two sisters had never seen their father so angry and just shook their heads.
"Did you steal it?" Luo Yung asked the old man.
The sisters still kept shaking their heads, and their tears fell off.
Old man Luo Yung sighed and walked into the garden, standing still for a long time. The two girls hid in the house, afraid to get out of the atmosphere.
The moon rises from behind the slope. Lao Luo raised his hands to the landing moon and murmured, "Whoever steals my cucumber, let the tiger eat him ..."
Arik and Allergard were scared out of their wits when they heard that their father had put a spell on the moon. They hurried out and knelt in front of the old man in Yangluo, crying and saying, "Dad! Don't let the tiger eat us. We won't steal cucumbers again. Dad, you must save us! "
The old man in Yangluo was surprised and regretted. He also began to cry: "What should I do? My spell has been cast. If I spit on a stone, it will blossom. Spit on dead branches, and they will sprout. Those who have passed the customs can come back, but they can't get it back when they leave the mouth! "
The old man in Yangluo stopped sleeping at dawn one night. At dawn, he came up with an idea. He built a wooden building in the middle of a big pond not far from home and moved two girls to live in it. The wooden building is surrounded by deep water, and the tiger can't cross it. He also built a suspension bridge in Tangkou, which usually hangs and no one can pass. The wooden building is beautifully built, and its corners are high, just like the tail of a swallow. Therefore, people call this wooden building Yanlou.
Arik has a lover named Nord Zhong, a brave and beautiful young man. He and Alec's lover, Luo Yung's father, don't know. They just met secretly. After Arik moved into a wooden house by the pond, Nord Zhong often came to pick her up. However, the two will always meet later. They agreed on the secret code. When Nordezhong came, he was wearing spikes and holding lanterns. If you can't hear the sound and see two lanterns, don't put the suspension bridge, it is the tiger coming.
I didn't know that the tiger had quietly heard the signal of their date. The tiger put a pair of bamboo tubes on its claws, blindfolded it and took it to the pond. The tiger's feet are covered with bamboo tubes, and when he walks, he will "click" like spikes.
Alik sat alone on the wooden building, missing Nord Bell. There is no moon in the sky, and there is no light on the ground. She was about to get up when she suddenly saw a lamp coming from the other side. Then she heard "click" footsteps getting closer and closer. Arik was so happy that he quickly untied the rope and put down the suspension bridge to meet him. When she found that it wasn't her Nord clock, it was too late, and the hairy monster bit Alec's throat. In this way, the tiger killed Arik and took her away.
Nordezhong hurried to the pond, where it was dark everywhere and the suspension bridge had been put down. Knowing in his heart that something was going to happen, he ran across the bridge. Just after crossing the bridge, I fell down, my spikes and scabbard fell off, and my hands were sticky. It looks like blood. He rushed into the room and found Allergard lying in bed, unable to wake up after shouting. Nordezhong pointed at the blood with the tip of a knife and said, "This is Alec's blood, so it will come up along the knife." Before the words were finished, blood began to drip down the knife. Nordezhong was so sad that he let out a cry like crazy and chased the mountain along the blood.
Nordezhong caught up with the mountain ridge and saw two green lights shining in the ravine. He knew it was a tiger. A loud noise from Beichong is like thunder in mid-air. He hit the tiger with a steel knife. Although the tiger is fierce, it can't resist the divine power of Nord Bell. Not long after, Nordezhong killed the tiger and chopped it into pieces. With all his strength, he collapsed beside Eric, even without the strength to cry.
As soon as it turned white, Nordezhong buried Alec. He sat motionless in front of Eric's grave for a long time. His hair is as messy as thatch, and his clothes are torn like rotten leaves. He seems to be a stone. Suddenly, Nord Chung remembered that there would be tigers on the mountain, and Alec's sister Algard would be in danger. He immediately stood up and walked to the mountain, trying to search for tigers again and kill them all. Besides, Lao Luo went to see his daughter in Yanlou the next day and found blood on the side of the suspension bridge. His heart is "Gordon", which is like falling into a bottomless pit. He ran into the building and saw that Arik was gone. Allergard was very ill and couldn't wake up.
Where's Arik? The old man returned to the suspension bridge and found an empty sheath and a pair of spikes. The old man thought, was Alec eaten by a tiger or killed by someone? The old man in Yangluo invited many villagers to help him look around. Finally, he found the tiger's body that had been chopped at sixes and sevens in the distant ravine, and there was a pile of grave soil beside it. Everyone dug up the soil and saw that it was Alec's body. The old man in Yangluo wept bitterly and took his daughter's bones back to the stockade for reburial. The old man thought, there must be heroes. When he saw Eric being eaten by a tiger, he went after the tiger. Who is this hero? Asking around, I can't find it.
Since the death of Alec, the most beautiful girl in the mountain, God seems to be very sad. The sun never comes out, the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the sky is foggy. The crops in the field were dying, and everyone was hungry, so everyone gathered in Yangluo to find a way. The villagers believe that only by praying to heaven and letting the sun shine on the world can crops turn over and people will not starve to death.
Therefore, the best singers and lusheng players were selected from all villages and townships to hold a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods. Everyone dances, plays lusheng and sings carols, hoping to get God's blessing. Luo Yung, an old man, looked around the crowd with a scabbard and spikes, hoping to find the hero who killed the tiger. However, there is no knife to put in the sheath and no foot to close the shoes.
In addition, Nordezhong searched for tigers everywhere in the deep forests, climbed 77 mountains and crossed 77 rivers, but couldn't find a tiger. He was so tired that he fell asleep in a cave. He slept for 7749 days. Nuo Dezhong saw an old man with a white beard in his sleep and said to him, "Get up quickly and save the Miao people. Miao people are in trouble. " The old man with white beard also handed him a magic spell, telling him to go to Nanshan to get a magic weapon, so as to save the Miao family.
When Nordezhong woke up, he found himself washed clean, his hair combed black and bright, his spirit was very good, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. According to the instructions of the old man in his dream, he ran to a big rock wall at the foot of Nanshan, patted the smooth and hard rock with his hand and said, "Shimen is open, Shimen is open, send my clothes!" " "Called three times in a row, the big stone" bang ",reveal a wide stone door. Nordezhong walked in and saw a brand-new suit on the stone table in the cave, and a glittering lusheng hung on the wall. Nordezhong put clothes on his body, which fit him well; He took the reed from the stone wall, walked out of the hole and walked to the stockade.
Those people who danced in the village have been dancing for seven days and seven nights, and it is still not bright. People are getting more and more anxious. Men, women and children knelt on the ground and prayed for sunshine.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of lusheng came from the top of the mountain in the distance, and the sound reached people's ears. They immediately got up and felt very comfortable. Just then, a bright big hole cracked from the dark clouds, and a ray of sunshine fell from the sky, shining on the top of the mountain. A glittering Miao teenager was playing and dancing the lusheng.
"Nord Bell!" Many people shouted out the names of the young people on the top of the mountain. Everyone ran to him cheering. At this time, the sky is getting brighter and brighter. With the magic lusheng tune of Nord Bell, the dark clouds quickly dispersed. The sky is full of golden sunshine. Birds that can't sing for a long time fly out of the Woods in droves, hovering over the heads of Nordezhong and the villagers, and then circling and exporting.
Luo Yung, an old man with a scabbard and thorns, walked up to Nordezhong and asked him to try. An attempt, of course. So Yang Luo's old man betrothed his second daughter, Algard, to Nord Zhong. The villagers held a lively wedding for them, and the boys sang, danced and played lusheng for seven days and seven nights. This time, no one felt tired, and some of them jumped over their soles.
From this time on, Miao people will play Lusheng, sing and dance on holidays or weddings, or travel and rock horses. Especially on the ninth day of the first month of each year, Miao families around West China will gather in Slitungmuk Ridge in China for a few days of grand celebrations, and they will always play a Song Lusheng called "Nuode Bell".
