Chapter 1105
Qin Hai and the others ate their dinner in the watchtower. It was unknown if it was due to the fact that they had given free medical services to the people of the Qingwan Village. The dinner that the elder had sent them was very sumptuous.
All kinds of meat was stored in a huge porcelain bowl that was like a small mountain. It was so hot that oil was spurting out of it, and the fragrance of it assaulted the nostrils. In addition, there were also many rare foods outside the mountains, such as bamboo mice, and some small insects. They had been fried in oil and were golden in color, crunching in their mouths. They were fragrant and delicious.
Miao Qing was originally a daughter of the Miao Family. Not only was she not afraid of the little bugs on the dining table, she was also pleasantly surprised and fond of them. Although Shen Meng was not as pleasantly surprised as Miao Qing was, she did not reject them. Not only did she eat them, she even explained to Qin Hai and the others the origins and medicinal value of these bugs.
Only Du Meiqi was scared to the point that her face paled when she saw the bamboo mouse and the golden bug. Not only did she not eat any of them, she almost vomited on the spot. In the end, she had no choice but to take the bowl and hide to the side.
Qin Hai found it funny and deliberately chewed the little bug until it crunched, which made Du Meiqi glare at him angrily a few times.
"Sis Shen, this rice wine is pretty good. You've worked hard today. Drink a few more cups and you'll be able to sleep well tonight." After eating the bugs, Qin Hai poured wine for Shen Meng. They drank from porcelain bowls. Qin Hai poured half a bowl for Shen Meng, then poured half a bowl for Miao Qing as well.
Shen Meng sniffed the bowl of wine and laughed, "This rice wine does smell good, but you can't drink too much. Drinking too much will make you drunk." Don't forget, there's a fire festival tonight. If you get drunk, you won't be able to watch the show! "Du Meiqi immediately shouted, "That's right, that's right! There's still the Fire-Twisted Festival tonight, so you all are not allowed to get drunk. Otherwise, who will accompany me to watch it!"
Qin Hai immediately laughed. "Didn't you say that the Fire Worm Festival is the Miao Family's Valentine's Day? If you look at it correctly, no one will care about you rolling in the grass. Aren't you worried that some Miao Family youngster will get into the grass?" "I've observed it today. It seems that many Miao Family youngsters have that intention towards you, so you'd better be careful. Don't become Miao Zang's daughter-in-law just by being careful."
These words caused Du Meiqi's face to change, and she asked awkwardly, "Are they that barbaric?"
Shen Meng smiled. "That won't happen. The Miao Family members are simple and honest. They won't act rashly."
Du Meiqi glared fiercely at Qin Hai and countered, "Did you hear that? Compared to the Miao Family, you're the worst." There are so many young ladies of the Miao Family seeking your treatment today. Are you going to pull them into a haystack? "
"Yes, do you have any objections?" Qin Hai asked casually.
"I …" Du Meiqi bit down on the vegetables in anger and ignored Qin Hai.
"I heard that the elder said that the old man is not living in the village and is at the Ox-Head Mountains behind us. After we treat our fellow villagers tomorrow, the elder will send someone to bring us to him." Shen Meng pondered for a moment before continuing, "According to them, that old man seems to be a little lonely, so it's not easy to get in touch with him. Tomorrow, we'll go and take a look at the situation."
"It's fine. If it's really not possible, then we'll think of another way." Sister Shen, you've worked hard today. Come, let me toast you! " Seeing that Shen Meng was in a difficult situation, Qin Hai felt too embarrassed to ask any further questions. He picked up the wine bowl and clinked his bowl with Shen Meng.
The rice wine was very sweet and smelled not only of rice but also of special medicine. It tasted very soft and smooth in his mouth. When it entered his stomach, he felt a warm sensation in his stomach, dispersing the winter cold. Shen Meng and the others tried their best, but Qin Hai drank quite a few bowls consecutively. By the time he finished the last jar of rice wine, he had almost finished it all by himself.
After they had eaten their fill, a loud noise came from outside. Du Meiqi immediately ran out to take a look, and then ran in excitedly, saying, "The Fire Hand Festival has started, many people have come out with torches!"
The few of them immediately rushed out of the watchtower and saw that the entire village was filled with torches. Laughter and laughter filled the air, and many children held torches as they ran around the village. It was very lively.At this time, Shi Tian also came to the gallows, inviting Shen Meng and Qin Hai to join them for the Firelizard Festival. This was exactly what Qin Hai and the others had in mind. After cleaning up a bit, they followed Shi Tian to the center of the threshing floor. There were already quite a few people gathered here. Nearly all of them had changed into clean and beautiful clothes, especially those Miao Family girls. Not only were they beautiful, they were also very pleasant to listen to.
In the middle of the threshing floor, three bonfires were burning brightly, making the entire threshing floor as bright as day. Everyone was chatting and laughing around the bonfire, exuding a festive atmosphere. Qin Hai noticed that the young Miao Family boy was standing on one side, while the girls were standing on the other. It seemed that they really were going to sing a love song to each other.
Although Qin Hai had been in Sichuan Province for many years, this was the first time he participated in the Fire-besieged Festival. He watched the scene in front of him with great interest as he chatted and laughed with Shen Meng.
After the love songs were sung, almost everyone started dancing around the bonfire. Qin Hai, Shen Meng, and the others were also pulled in by the passionate Miao Family members. They danced around the bonfire in a simple and joyful manner.
Qin Hai noticed that while dancing, people left from time to time, and those who left were all young boys and girls. With just a glance, they would leave the group and walk back and forth into the darkness. The others only smiled at their departure, not paying much attention to it. It seemed that the rumours about rolling grass were not false. To these youngsters, the fire festival in Miao stronghold was truly a Valentine's Day, and everyone had already gotten used to it.
Qin Hai was about to tell Shen Meng about his discovery, but when he turned around, he was surprised to find that Shen Meng was not behind him. Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were still dancing excitedly in front of him.
Qin Hai quickly pulled Miao Qing and Du Meiqi out and asked, "Did you see Sister Shen?" She's gone! "
Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were shocked. Miao Qing immediately went to communicate with the Miao Family's girl behind Qin Hai. She learned that Shen Meng had left not long ago and had headed southeast.
Qin Hai and the others hurriedly went over, but even when they found the edge of the stronghold, they couldn't find Shen Meng. Afterwards, they went back to the tower and searched for a round, but to no avail. When they returned to the threshing floor, Shen Meng was still nowhere to be found.Section error, click on this report (no registration), after reporting the maintenance personnel will correct chapter content within two minutes, please wait patiently, and refresh the page.
