Chapter 1087 A whim
Children like to be lively, and Liang Chuan is certainly not immune to vulgarity.
A father and daughter held a big bowl and chased him out on the spot. Looking left and right, they saw that someone was really singing!
The young people of the Bai ethnic group seem to have a certain childishness, and their bodies are not as thick as those of Lao Baozheng and others. Compared with a ruthless character like Liang Chuan, who sees blood like water, they look even more raw!
The two father and daughter secretly showed their heads. Ah Yue was riding on Liang Chuan's neck, just enough to reach the small window of Baozheng's house. It was a bit funny. Bai Baozheng was like an old gentleman, training his students.
!
I saw Lao Bao pointing his finger at a young man who was neither tall nor short, and stomped the heel of his wooden staff so hard that he almost smashed the floor tiles. He hated iron and said, "Look at you bunch of useless idiots."
Dandan, old man, when we went out, there was no village where we couldn’t do anything but tremble, so how come it’s so useless when we get here!”
The young people were originally afraid of this old man. His seniority was there, and the scolding was unpleasant, but there was no place to hide. The few people who were already scared subconsciously took a few steps back and buried their heads lower!
"Why are you hiding? You are more embarrassing than those girls in Maxupo! No girl is as embarrassed as you! If you hide again, those girls will
Falling from the sky, if I keep hiding from you, I will be beaten to death!"
Bai Baozheng wished he could hit these young people with a wooden stick several times, but nothing happened. It was really annoying.
Bai Yunshan clicked on another person. This person stood up very nervously, still twisting his fingers in circles. His hand was slapped hard by Bai Baozheng, which almost made the young man's urine come out, and tears came to his eyes.
Spin around.
"That mountain is not good~ This mountain is high (oh ho ho), there is a tree on this mountain~ Good melons and fruits (ho ho ho), I want to pick a melon (ho ho) to eat (uh), but that person is short
The trees are so tall (oh ho ho)"
Liang Chuan and Liang Chuan were listening at the window and almost burst out laughing!
The young man's voice is not outstanding, but is a little tone-deaf and off-key, but he also sings like a folk song, singing with supporting vocals that make ghosts cry and wolves howl, and he sheds tears while singing, which makes people even more reluctant to complain!
There was an elder in front who was forcing me, and there were people watching behind me. Baiyunshan was an old man, so he naturally knew that family scandals should not be made public. He cursed again bitterly: "Look at how sad you are crying! Those who don't know better think that the old man is here."
I have passed away, and I want you to come and mourn me! I know how to eat every day, and I can sing this bird song very well. Aren’t you going to embarrass us in Baijia Village?"
Bai Baozheng waved his hand: "Get out of here, I don't want to care anymore!"
As if they were receiving an amnesty, everyone hurriedly left this stressful place.
Seeing everyone leaving, Bai Baozheng coughed and invited Liang Chuan and A Yue in!
"Brother Aqing, do you still want to see our jokes?" As the saying goes, even if you beat a child, you have to close the door and not let outsiders see the joke. However, Baiyun Mountain had another purpose today.
Liang Chuan was a little embarrassed, so he put Ah Yue down, and the two of them held the bowls and entered the room to listen to Baozheng's teachings.
"Why are Grandpa Baozheng so angry? The chicken soup at home is still hot. I'll get a bowl for Grandpa!"
Liang Chuan touched Ah Yue's head, thinking that you, the smart little guy, are the most sensible! You know how to run away on your own, and you also know how to resolve this little old man's resentment.
After saying that, Ah Yue chewed a cordyceps root, which was crispy and chewy when fried, and skipped out the door, leaving the two of them staring at each other.
Liang Chuan also advised: "What's the point of such anger?"
Baiyunshan sighed heavily and said, "You don't understand!"
This sentence blocked Liang Chuan's mouth. Liang Chuan still enlightened Bai Yunshan: "If you have any difficulties, tell me. Maybe I have traveled a lot and we can find a solution together! It's not a matter of death. What's the big deal?
"Singing is not something you are born with. Is it possible that everyone is a born singer?"
Bai Baozheng glanced at Liang Chuan. Although he was an outsider, he had been in contact with him for so long. He found that this person was completely different from the ones he had dealt with before. He was an out-and-out good man. As for what he was up to, he didn't know and didn't want to
Know.
Liang Chuan didn't want to laugh at himself, otherwise he could just slap his butt and go back to sleep. Who would be willing to take this matter on him!
"That's true, but it's not as simple as singing!"
"You can see it when you go out now. Our Baijia village is full of men, and there is a shortage of women. And we Bai people are different from you Nong people and Miao people.
If you are good at fighting, you can go to the streets to steal your wives. We are different. Women will follow whoever sings better. Our place is not as chaotic as yours in the Song Dynasty. Now the young ones are growing up one after another.
They are at such an age to beg for a wife, but look at how they are, how can any woman be willing to live with them? They are simply more feminine than women!"
Liang Chuan asked doubtfully: "Isn't that right? I think there are a lot of girls in the village!"
Bai Baozheng immediately waved his hand and said: "That's not possible, the rule set by our ancestors is that people in our own family cannot intermarry, and can only marry women from other tribes or villages, otherwise it will bring disaster to our village!
"
Bai Baozheng believed in the words of his ancestors, but did not understand the principles of the rules.
Of course Liang Chuan understands!
The population of this small Bai village is not very good. If they are a production team in the future, if they are self-sufficient when it comes to marriage, it will not take a few generations for all of them to become intermarriages. It will really be a catastrophe of annihilation! Intermarriage between relatives can
Solve the current bachelor problem, but in a few generations, the whole village will be full of idiots!
For the tribes and small villages of various ethnic groups in the southwest, population has always been the most critical issue that has plagued their respective development. For thousands of years, they have not been able to pose a ruling-level obstacle to the Han people. It is precisely because of the population that there are too many Han people.
!
The Han people hold a tolerant attitude towards all ethnic groups. It is precisely because of this kind of mind that many ethnic minorities in history have occupied the Central Plains and have not eliminated the civilization of the Han people. Instead, they have been absorbed and assimilated by the Han people!
"How much do you want to get a wife here?"
Betrothal gift? Bai Baozheng was obviously startled, coughed and said: "That is the name of the Han family. In addition to Shanchan Mansion, there are also a small number of Han people in Dali City who pay attention to this. How can we ask for a betrothal gift!"
"You don't need a bride price but are you afraid that you won't be able to get a wife?"
When Bai Baozheng talked about these things, it wasn't that the female family didn't want the bride price, it was just that the conditions of the barbarian tribes in the southwest were very specific, not to mention the Bai people, the nearby Nu people, Dai people, Yao people and Miao people, none of them were
Even if the population is prosperous, they also need to carry out population flow with other tribes, otherwise their physical fitness will be greatly reduced after a few generations!
To put it bluntly, these people are a community. If one family is good and the other is good, if one family closes the door, the quality of the population will not be improved!
Anyone with insight will understand this truth!
Bai Baozheng has lived a lifetime, and there are many people who are more knowledgeable than him. Therefore, the trend of comparing bride prices cannot flourish in a place like theirs. Anyone who wants to set conditions on major population issues is asking for their own destruction!
"Aren't I talented? Look at their bearish looks. The girls in Malipo are even more generous than them!"
"Where is Malipo?"
"It takes almost a day to walk north from our Baijia Village. It is the largest gathering place in the southeast of Dali. Every year in early May, people from all ethnic groups in the southeast will come here!"
"Going to the market?"
"Of course going to the market is part of it. Every year a singing competition is held here, and it doesn't distinguish between ethnic groups. People from all ethnic groups come, and most of them are young people of the right age!"
"I understand???????????????, this is your Dali blind date conference!"
Bai Baozheng smiled implicitly and said: "This is what the Han family said. We don't have so many connections here. As you said, the Han family requires betrothal gifts and various ceremonies, but here we don't have so many.
According to the rules, I remember that your family also has the March Festival, why, you haven’t celebrated it?”
Bai Baozheng looked at Liang Chuan suspiciously. Of course, Liang Chuan, a pseudo-miao peasant, had never celebrated any ethnic minority festivals. He spent most of his time in the hospital bed, and when he recovered, he wandered around without celebrating any festivals!
"I have never been to Dali, and I have never seen the customs and customs here. There may be some differences!"
Bai Baozheng sighed and said: "Our village has been overrun by another village in the north every year in these years. There is no way for the young children in the village to bring back a girl. But it makes me anxious to death. The Bai family passed on to me, but
The inheritance cannot be cut off here!"
Liang Chuan asked curiously: "In which village do they have three heads and six arms? Or do they have some unique skills? Isn't it just singing, which you can't beat others?"
Bai Baozheng recalled the past and said: "That village was also full of Bai people. When they were young, they had no role to play. As soon as I came out, the girls in Malipo were all vying to get married.
Come to us, where will things be like now?"
"Then why can't you compete with others? Why can't you sing as well as others? Or something?"
"I just can't sing other people's songs. Some of our old songs have been sung for decades. Girls in other villages have long been tired of listening to our songs. They don't have any appeal when they open their mouths. You just heard it, they sang
No matter how unpleasant it is, I can’t stand it, let alone outsiders!”
Bai Baozheng said, looking at Liang Chuan, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "What kind of songs does your family sing? Let me listen to it!"
You old bastard, your mind is so fast that you actually want to bring their family’s songs here to sing!
It's a pity that Liang Chuan doesn't know their folk songs at all, so how can he compile them?
