Elaine immediately jumped onto the big rock next to her and looked into the distance. Suddenly, she hugged his arm tightly and shouted in joy, "Brother Ah Lin, look, look. It's the saintess, it's really the saintess!"
Looking at the direction she was pointing at, a beautiful silhouette was walking out of the White Miao Village that was located halfway up the mountain. She was wearing a round collar with narrow sleeves. There were three shiny silver lines embroidered on the sleeves. She was wearing a pleated skirt. Her collar and apron were made of five colors that were as white as jade. She was wearing shiny silver accessories on her head, neck, and chest. The silver rings and jade bracelets on her wrists and ankles were tinkling like the melodious mountain stream.
She had shapely eyebrows and red lips, her face was rosy as she walked slowly on the mountainside. As she looked around, her eyes were sparkling, as if a warm spring breeze was caressing one's face. Her ethnic Miao attire accentuated her mature and beautiful figure even more.
'It's master's sister indeed!' Lin Wanrong was dumbstruck. He had met An Biru countless times but he was still stunned by her beauty today. It was not only because it was the Flower Mountain Festival but also because of her unique charm when she returned to her Miao attire. This Sister An was the most genuine and unadorned one!
An Biru kept waving and smiling as she walked, greeting the Miao family members around her.
"Saintess, saintess …" All of the Miao family members seemed to have gone crazy. Regardless if they were young or old, they kept cheering and jumping. They shouted the saintess' name and ran toward her excitedly.
The one who was running at the front was a white-bearded elder from the Miao family. He was carrying a little girl who was not even three years old. Her eyes were wide open and she was extending her tender hands toward the saintess.
An Biru sped up and took the little girl into her arms. The little girl was overjoyed and looked at her sincerely. Her childish voice echoed in the valley, "Saintess, my parents told me that you're our Miao Village's phoenix! I want to be like you in the future. I want to be a beautiful phoenix! "
Tears welled up in An Biru's eyes. She smiled and kissed the little girl's cheek. The entire valley was dead silent. Cheers exploded in an instant. Countless Miao family members raised their machetes and shouted in unison, "Saintess, our phoenix! Sage Nun. Our Phoenix! "
Lin Wanrong sighed with emotion. Sister An's prestige in the Miao family. Of course, she inherited the glory from her ancestors. But more importantly, it was because of what she had done for the Hmong Village all these years. A daughter of the Miao Family, wandering outside alone. Who knew how much he had suffered. Only in this way could he bring good fortune to his hometown. Every little thing was remembered by the villagers in their hearts!
"Saintess!" Elaine was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She jumped down from the rock with a crash. He rushed up the mountain path.
Lin Wanrong quickly grabbed her and said, "Elaine, don't worry. Where are you going?! "
The girl's chest trembled as she said excitedly, "Brother Alin. I want to see the Saintess. I want to become a person like her. This has been my dream since I was young! "
"What? Haven't you seen her before? "Brother Alin smiled.
Elaine shook her head silently, "The Saintess has never been in the village before. I can't see her even if I want to. "
She had forgotten about this. Sister An had been setting up the White Lotus Sect in Shandong and had only been in the Hmong Village for a few days. No wonder Elaine had never seen her before.
The girl stared blankly at An Biru who was smiling in the distance. Her eyes revealed admiration, envy, and longing as she muttered, "Brother Alin. The Saintess is so beautiful. No wonder so many girls like her. Even you like her! Brother Alin, tell me, can I become a person like the Saintess?! "
Sister Master was the idol of the entire Miao Village. It was normal for Elaine to admire her. Lin Wanrong smiled and nodded, "Elaine, you won't believe me if I tell you. You and Sister An are very similar in terms of personality and temperament! I can even see the shadow of Sister An in you! You will definitely become an outstanding woman like her. I firmly believe that! "
"Sister An?!" Elaine looked at him in confusion.
"Oh, the Saintess. Her nickname is Sister An!!"
Elaine's face was flushed with excitement. She grabbed his arm tightly and her long eyelashes fluttered. She said in a trembling voice, "Brother Alin, will I really become a person like the Saintess? You're not lying to me? "
"Of course, when has Brother Alin ever lied to you? You will definitely become a person like the Saintess! "Lin Wanrong smiled and nodded," But, it will be quite troublesome for you! "
"Troublesome? What kind of trouble?" The girl blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked in confusion.
"Think about it. Once you become a person like the Saintess, all the boys in Miao Village will like you as much as they like the Saintess. Isn't that troublesome?" Lin Wanrong laughed out loud.
"Brother Alin!" Elaine pouted and stomped her feet in embarrassment. She stole a few glances at him and whispered, "I don't want them to like me!"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile, "Although you revere the Saintess very much, now is not the time to see her. Look, there are so many people around her. Can you squeeze through?!"
Elaine looked up and immediately stuck out her tongue in shock. There was a sea of people around the Saintess. Countless Miao Family villagers surrounded her, singing and dancing with the lusheng in their arms. The love songs of the Midos had already reverberated through half the sky, and there were even a few lads from Moon Reflecting Dock among them.
Elaine knew that she couldn't squeeze through and felt a little depressed. She looked up at the Saintess in the distance with envy and worship in her eyes.
This girl was infatuated with Sister An. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Since you like the Saintess so much, then so be it. I'll think of a way to let you meet her later."
"Are you for real, Brother Alin?" Elaine hugged his arm and almost jumped up in excitement.
Lin Wanrong nodded proudly, "Of course, don't you believe me?! Don't forget, your Brother Alin is the smartest person in the world! "
Elaine pressed her cheek tightly against his arm, her heart pounding as she murmured silently, "Thank you, Brother Alin! You are the smartest person in the world, and also the best person in the world! "
Lin Wanrong grinned. This girl is too close to me. Sister An will see us later. That would be terrible!
As he spoke. He felt a little nervous and hurriedly looked up into the distance. Coincidentally, An Biru was busy and glanced over. She even glared at him with a faint smile on her face!
He thought of what Sister An said last night. Lin Wanrong was shocked. He hurriedly pulled his arm away. Elaine murmured, "Brother Alin. What's wrong? "
"Oh. Nothing. "He carefully pulled his arm again," I saw the Saintess smiling at me! "
Huh?! The young girl looked over. She saw the Saintess smiling sweetly. She was talking happily with the villagers. When did she look over here? Elaine wrinkled her little nose. She chuckled, "Shameless!"
As they spoke, they suddenly heard a commotion from afar. Two groups of Black Miao warriors were pushing and shoving each other in the crowd. They were hurriedly getting closer to the Saintess. An Biru frowned. She snorted, "Zhalong, what are you doing?!"
The one walking in the middle of the Black Miao warriors was Zhalong, the younger brother of the acting chief of Miao Village. An Biru's gaze was cold. Her smile was like a flower. Zhalong was dazzled. He hurriedly bowed, "Zhalong greets the Saintess! Sir Nie of the Xuzhou prefecture has arrived at the cliff with the head of Zhalong accompanying him. Since the Flower Mountain Festival is about to begin, the Saintess would like to meet him! "
"Sir Nie of the prefecture?" An Biru giggled with a charming expression, but a cold light flashed in her eyes, "That's great. Thank you for your concern for our Miao Village! Zhalong, ask the head of Zhalong to meet me! "
This sentence was said calmly, but the meaning behind it was not simple. Zhalong had been the temporary chief of Miao Village for many years. The Saintess asked him to meet her. She had already made the relationship between them very clear. There was only one true chief of Miao Village. If Zhalong came, he would naturally come as a subordinate. Greetings to the true chief! With the Saintess' high prestige in Miao Village, what she said was no different from directly cutting off her authority.
Zhalong's face alternated between red and white. He did not know if he should agree or reject. Just as he was hesitating, Elder Han Nong, who was standing behind the Saintess, glared and said angrily, "What are you waiting for? Quickly ask Zhalong to come here and greet the Saintess' great chief."
The Great Elder's words were even more direct. When the surrounding Miao villagers heard that the Saintess was going to regain her authority, they instantly cheered. The news spread quickly and all the Miao family members were extremely excited.
Yi Lian's face flushed red and said anxiously, "Brother Ah Lin, did you hear that? The Saintess is going to take back our authority. Our Miao Village is going to have a good time!"
Sister An made her words firm and did not leave any leeway. It seemed like she was going to tempt Zhalong to make a move. Lin Wanrong giggled, "It's easy for her to take back authority, but it's exhausting for me to take care of people. My life is really bitter!"
Zhalong left with an ashen face. After an unknown period of time, the tall and sturdy Zhalong walked over quickly. He held onto a hatchet and stood in front of An Biru. He stared blankly at the Saintess, his lips trembling. After a long time, he bowed and said, "Zhalong greets the Saintess!"
An Biru softly acknowledged him and smiled, "So it's Zhalong, long time no see. How are you?"
"Everything is good for Zhalong, I just miss the Saintess day and night! Zhalong hopes that the Saintess can become my wife! " The Miao people were indeed enthusiastic. This Zhalong actually expressed his admiration for An Biru in front of everyone without any taboo.
Other than the Miao people, there were also many Hua clansmen who came to participate in the Flower Mountain Festival. Zhalong purposely spoke in Chinese so that both the Hua and Miao clans could understand.
The Miao clansmen were instantly in an uproar. Lin Wanrong snorted, "This guy is too shameless. Just because he has some power, he actually openly proposed to the Saintess. He is the tyrant of the Miao village, who dares to provoke him? Isn't he trying to make others retreat without a fight?"
"How can the Miao clan's Miduo retreat so easily?!" Looking at his angry expression, Elaine giggled, "Brother Ah Lin, you look like you're jealous. Those who don't know might really think that you're the Saintess' sweetheart! "
Am I not the sweetheart of her sweetheart?! He had explained too much, and his mouth was cramping. This girl never believed him, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Hearing Zhalong's words, Elder Sister An instantly convulsed with laughter and shook her head, "Zhalong, thank you for your concern, but if you want to be my little brother, you have to ask for permission first!"
She silently glanced over and saw Elaine snuggling up to that little brother. She immediately snorted lightly.
Lin Wanrong's body was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly and stealthily withdrew his arm.
When the Saintess opened her mouth, the Miduo around her instantly cheered. They held onto their choppers and looked at Zhalong like a tiger watching its prey. There were many people who wanted to challenge him.
Zhalong gritted his teeth and snorted, "Then let's talk during the Flower Mountain Festival! Saintess, Xuzhou prefecture's Lord Nie has arrived. The Flower Mountain Festival is about to begin, Saintess, please come with us. "
The Flower Mountain Festival was a major event in the entire Xuzhou, and it was normal for officials to come. An Biru smiled and nodded at the Great Elder, "Uncle, let's go and meet this Lord Nie!"
Zhalong led the way, while the Saintess and the Great Elder followed behind. After a short while, they arrived at the flower stalks in the middle of the field. An official's sedan slowly came over, and a middle-aged man with a white face and a red robe came out. He looked at An Biru's pretty face. He said in surprise, "This is the Saintess? I am Xuzhou's Nie Yuanqing. It is my honor to be able to meet the Saintess today! "
Nie Yuanqing was under Prince Cheng. In the past, Prince Li Cheng had used the Miao Village's safety to force An Biru to seduce Lin San. This scene was still fresh in her memory. Looking at the heavy soldiers behind Nie Yuanqing, the Saintess smiled and nodded, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Lord Nie has come from afar. My Miao Village has not been a good host, please forgive us! "
"Not at all. Not at all. "Lord Nie said amiably," Xuzhou's Hua and Miao are one family. How can you say host? The Saintess is too humble. "
Elaine had already pulled Brother Ah Lin to squeeze in. Hearing this, she snorted and curled her lips, "Nice words. When you took our money. Why don't you say the Hua Miao family? Dog officials! "
Her voice was slightly louder than usual and fell into the ears of a few Black Miao patrolling in the crowd. The few people glared at her and came over angrily, "Were you the one who said that? How dare you slander the prefectural head?! "
Elaine had a fiery temper, she gritted her teeth and snorted, "So what if I said that? This dog official who took our land made our Miao family poor and the people have no way to make a living. Everyone in Xuzhou knows about this. Who doesn't know about this?! As members of the Miao family, you are helping the evildoer. But you and Zha Guo are helping the evildoer do evil together. What a disgrace to the Miao village! "
"Well said!" The surrounding Miao family members applauded and cheered when they heard this.
"How dare you slander the Great Chieftain and the prefectural head? Are you trying to rebel? "A few Black Miao guards were furious. They roared and rushed forward, reaching out their hands to grab Elaine. Just as they were about to grab her clothes, they felt a sharp pain in their wrists as if they were being pinched by a pair of pliers. A black-faced Red Miao elder brother stood in front of them with a fake smile, he said, "Who are you saying is rebelling?"
"It's you! Who, who are you? "A Black Miao guard cried out in pain.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and before he could speak, Elaine had already stood in front of him to protect him, "I said it, come at me if you dare, don't make things difficult for him!"
Another Black Miao guard said with a lecherous expression, "Is this your little brother? He has crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes! Little sister, seeing that you're as pretty as a flower, I'll let you take advantage of me! I'll spare him as long as you call me 'Good brother' ten times! "
"Call your mother my * ss!" Lin Wanrong was infuriated when he heard this, he increased the strength in his hands. A crisp crack was heard and the Black Miao cried out in pain, the bones in his hand were broken. His attack was terrifying, the rest of the Black Miao were dumbstruck, they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"I'm sparing your worthless lives today for Elaine's sake!" Lin Wanrong's gaze turned cold, a piercingly cold murderous aura instantly overflowed, "Go back and tell Zha Guo and Zha Long that those who commit unjust deeds bring about their own destruction. Tell them to wash their heads clean and leave them for others to behead! Scram! "
He was a dignified person who had killed his way through the battlefield, his hands were stained with countless amounts of blood. He did not feel it usually when he was smiling, but once he was angry, even gods and ghosts would be afraid of him. The few Black Miao instantly trembled after being yelled at by him, they lowered their heads and fled in a sorry state.
The beautiful Xuzhou had been turned into a foul atmosphere by these people. If I don't fix this place properly, I'll write the word 'Lin' upside down! He was so angry that his old face was as black as charcoal ink. He clenched his fists tightly and did not say a word, panting heavily one after another.
He only came back to his senses after a long while, wondering why Elaine was so quiet. He lifted his head and saw that the young girl was staring at him blankly as if she was infatuated.
"What's wrong?" He smiled and stretched out his hand, waving it in front of Elaine, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Brother Alin, you looked like …" Elaine said softly.
"Is that so?" He touched his cheek and laughed awkwardly, "Actually, I've always felt that I'm more handsome when I'm angry than when I'm smiling. I didn't expect that I'm too handsome today, I scared you!"
"No," Elaine shook her head slightly and said softly, "I like looking at you. You look like a bad person when you're smiling, but you look like a good person when you're angry. "
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly burst out laughing. This girl's conclusion was amazing!
"Am I wrong?" The young girl asked hurriedly.
"Yes, you're absolutely right!" He nodded, "There's nothing more profound than this! Sometimes, even I don't know if I'm a good person or a bad person! "
"But I know!" Elaine looked at him affectionately. Her eyes flickered and her face suddenly blushed as if it was dyed with rouge. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "That Mido from the Black Miao said that you have crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes, hehe!"
'I'm not a good person to begin with!' He laughed at himself. Before he could say anything. Suddenly, he heard the loud sound of firecrackers in front. Amidst the thick smoke. An Biru held a piece of iron tied to the red silk and stood beside the tall tree. He planted a small, dark green tree. Elder Han, Master, and Zago stood behind her. They applauded in unison. All the Miao family members danced and cheered. They were all laughing.
"The Saintess is planting a flower tree! The Flower Mountain Festival has begun! "Elaine jumped excitedly," Brother Alin. Let's go! "
Lin Wanrong did not know what to do. He was already pulled into the excited crowd by the young girl. The men and women of the Miao family, old and young, held hands and surrounded the flower tree. They sang and danced to celebrate the harvest festival.
He held Elaine's little hand in a daze. They formed a circle in the crowd. The young girl's cheerful laughter was in his ears, and there were excited smiling faces all around him. This scene made him think that he had become a member of the Miao family.
"Da da." Suddenly there was a burst of crisp hooves in the valley. In the distance, twenty to thirty tall horses galloped over. The Miao family members immediately cheered, and countless young men rushed out from the crowd.
"The horse beating has begun!" Elaine hurriedly clapped her hands, "Brother Alin, go quickly! Go quickly! "
What was the horse beating for? He stared anxiously. Elaine giggled, "Don't you understand that? This is to test the courage of the Mitos. As long as you snatch one of the horses, and then with the fastest speed. Go through the ring of fire in front. There will be Mitos who fancy you and come to find you to sing, hee hee. "
She pointed with her jade-like hand. Two miles away from the galloping horses, a ring of fire had already been erected. The diameter was about four feet square, and it was burning fiercely. The so-called riding a horse through a ring. It was to jump over the horse from the middle. Not only was it a test of skill, but it was also a test of courage.
Lin Wanrong was stunned and said in confusion, "But there are so few horses and so many people. Don't tell me those young men who didn't manage to snatch a horse can't find a wife?"
"Those who didn't manage to snatch a horse can also jump over the ring of fire on foot," Elaine explained while smiling, "However, the most outstanding Mitos will naturally not come to find them to sing!"
'So that's what's going on! 'If that's the case, I must participate in this horse beating in order for the Miao family to marry Sister An to me willingly, and I can't be too bad!'
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a long whistle. A majestic silhouette came out from the crowd and dashed toward the horses. The Black Miao warriors burst into applause and cheers. Elaine said in shock, "It's Zha Guo, he's going too!"
Zha Guo's intention was obvious, he was going for the saintess. He sprinted all the way ahead of the Miao family's young men, but he still took the time to wave at the saintess who was on the viewing platform. Sir Nie who was next to him smiled and nodded, "Headman Zha Guo is really capable!"
The saintess nodded as a greeting. She secretly peeked at Lin Wanrong and saw that her little brother was staring at Elaine. The young girl's face was like a flower and she was smiling brightly. However, her little brother's face was filled with terror as if he was stunned. He could not even move his feet.
Sister An pursed her red lips and scoffed softly. She loosened and closed her jade-like hands and a hint of charm suddenly appeared on her face.
"Ah!" Brother Alin who was frowning suddenly screamed and jumped up while waving his hands. Elaine who was talking to him was shocked, "Brother Alin, what's wrong with you?!"
Lin Wanrong glanced at the saintess and saw her charming face waving at Zha Guo who was in the crowd. She seemed to admire him but she did not even look at him.
"It's nothing, a needle suddenly grew on my butt. I'll be fine in a while!" Brother Alin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Elaine naturally thought that he was talking nonsense. She giggled and blushed. Lin Wanrong rubbed his butt and said helplessly, "So, to become the most outstanding Mido in Miao Village, I must win against horses?"
"Yes!" The young girl nodded lightly.
He had no other choice! Suddenly, his face darkened and he said, "Alright then, I'll go too!"
Elaine quickly pulled him back, "Brother Alin, don't force yourself if you don't like it. Even if you don't beat the horses, there are people who are willing to sing to you!"
What's the use of other people's willingness? Only Sister An is willing! He chuckled and patted the young girl's arm. He then dashed into the crowd that was fighting for the horses.
Thousands of people fighting for twenty to thirty fast horses. One could imagine how chaotic the scene would be. Lin Wanrong dashed into the crowd. He suddenly felt dizzy. There were people all around him and he could not even see a strand of horse hair.
Just as he was feeling helpless, he glanced around and saw that not far away. Zha Guo, who had a majestic figure, was leisurely walking through the crowd. Wherever he went. There were Black Miao guards who had mixed in to protect him. Other people could not even get close to him.
Lin Wanrong scoffed and secretly followed them. He had only taken a few steps. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves in front of him. Two fast horses galloped over as fast as lightning. Everyone rushed forward to fight for the horses but Zha Guo was extremely fast. Under the protection of the guards. He pulled the reins of the horse. He kicked his feet and landed steadily on the horse's back like a stone that was suddenly lifted up. The horse whinnied, raised its hooves and galloped forward. The surrounding Black Miao glared at him. No one dared to fight for him. They could only let him go.
This fellow was cunning. Lin Wanrong stomped his feet in anger. Everyone's gaze immediately fell on the other black horse. Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they saw it. The black horse's tail was tied with a short rope that was about three feet long. Sparks were flashing and the tail was already half burnt. The horse was already frightened and ran around like a madman. A Miao family Miduo who did not believe in the evil tried to get close but before he could pull the reins, the horse kicked him hard. He bounced away.
Damn it. Who did this?! Lin Wanrong was enraged. She saw Zha Guo in front of her, leaving behind a trail of dust. He was already more than a hundred feet away. It would be too late if he did not hurry. He had no time to think. He suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The Flaming Horse was as swift as the wind as it cut a path in front of the crowd of Miao Family youths. His figure was like lightning as he followed the horse from the side. He actually chased the horse from the front to the back.
There were only people on horseback but no one had ever seen a person chasing a horse. All the Midos were stunned.
He chased for about five to six feet before he could no longer keep up. Seeing that the distance between him and the horse was about to widen, he could not care anymore. He suddenly roared and used all his strength to bounce his body forward and lay horizontally on the horse's back.
This kind of riding posture was the most dangerous. Moreover, it was a frightened Fire Horse. The horse raised its head and neighed. It quickly raised its front hooves and wanted to throw him off. Seeing the reins flying in front of him, he used all his strength to hold on to the horse's back with one hand while his other hand was as fast as lightning. He fiercely pulled the reins. At the same time, he leaped up and did a big split. He actually flipped over from the horse's butt and sat on its front. Although his position was slightly behind, he was still able to sit steadily.
This series of movements was neat and neat as if it was a performance. The Miao family members did not dare to blink and only cheered after a long time.
"Brother Ah Lin, Brother Ah Lin …" Elaine stood on a big rock at the side of the mountain with tears in her eyes. She jumped up and waved at him desperately. An Biru's clenched fist suddenly loosened. She suddenly giggled and looked at him with a blushing face. She murmured, "What a black horse!"
The Miduo Miacai of Moon Reflection Dock were even more ecstatic. They shouted to everyone they met, "Look, that's Brother Ah Lin of Moon Reflection Dock. He's our Hong Miao!"
Everyone watched with enthusiasm. Only the Hong Miao, Brother Ah Lin, knew that he was suffering. This was a frightened fire horse. The good thing was that it would run wildly and no one dared to approach it. The bad thing was that it would only run faster and faster. There was no way to stop it!
He did not know who lit the fire horse's tail. Riding on the fire horse, he could only hear the wind whistling in his ears. It was as fast as riding on an airplane. He could only pull the reins with difficulty to control the direction. There was no way to slow the horse down. He gritted his teeth and looked around. With one look, he found the problem. Not only his horse, there were five or six other horses that were also set on fire. The only difference was that no one was riding on the other fire horses. As for Zha Guo who was running at the front, other than himself who could barely keep up, the others were all lagging far behind.
There was still a mile to go before the finish line. The distance between him and Zha Guo was about two hundred feet. At this moment, he could not help but feel grateful. If it was not for this fire horse, how could he be so close to Zha Guo?
One was a ferocious and fast horse while the other was a blazing fire horse. The horse slaying at the beginning of the Flower Mountain Festival had completely evolved into a one-on-one battle between the Zako headman and the Red Miao clansman who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Go, go —" Zha Guo urged loudly. He kept turning his head to look around. There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes. Although he was ahead by more than two hundred feet, who knew if this Hong Miao little brother was still holding back based on his horsemanship?
Lin Wanrong looked at him and laughed. Now you know the benefits of riding a fire horse. When I sit on the horse, I don't even need to wave a whip. I don't even need to shout. It will chase you on its own. It saves time and effort.
The two of them continued to chase. The rope on the fire horse's tail was about to burn out. Its butt was constantly smoking. The horse's eyes were wide open. It galloped like the wind, as if it could float at any time. Lin Wanrong dealt with horses on the battlefield all day. He relied on them to save his life. His horse-control skills were already incomparably skilled. Although Zha Guo's horsemanship was exquisite, compared to Lin Wanrong, he still lacked the spirituality of life and death.
When had the Miao Clan ever seen such an exciting chase? They stopped playing the lusheng and stopped dancing. Everyone was coiled up on both sides of the cliff. Eyes wide open. Witnessing this marvelous scene.
The distance between them was gradually shortened from more than two hundred feet. Ten feet, five feet. The two horses gradually closed in. Seeing that the end was in sight, and there was less than three hundred feet left, Lin Wanrong's horse's butt was already burning. The horse neighed in pain and passed the Zha Guo head's carriage like a rocket. The Miao Clan villagers burst into thunderous cheers. The young people of Moon Reflection Dock clapped until their palms were red. Elaine didn't even dare to blink. She clenched her fists tightly and almost held her breath.
"Eh, I've seen this Hong Miao little brother before!" Uncle Han Nong, who was sitting beside the Sage Nun, muttered softly.
The Sage Nun's face heated up and she said softly, "Yes, uncle, you should know him!"
Han Nong grunted, "He is the son-in-law of Moon Reflection Dock's Bu Yi Family, Elaine's little brother! That day, he wanted to go up the mountain, but I beat him down! "
"Is that so?" An Biru giggled. She bit her red lips tightly. She was really angry and annoyed. If her little brother was by her side, she would have already turned him into a hedgehog.
Lord Nie looked at this Hong Miao little brother and also made a sound of surprise. He frowned, as if he was trying hard to remember something.
Lin Wanrong didn't care about what others thought. His horse ran faster and faster. The moment it leapt past Zha Guo's side, he suddenly heard a light sound. A miao arrow shot out from behind him, heading straight for the horse's leg.
Fortunately, the fire horse's speed was too fast and couldn't be predicted by common sense. That miao arrow arced through the air and landed on the ground far away. He turned around and saw Zha Guo staring at him with a cold expression.
Playing dirty? I am the ancestor! Lin Wanrong snorted. If it wasn't for the fact that this fire horse couldn't turn around, he would have already gone up to deal with this brat.
After overtaking Zha Guo, the fire horse's speed was as fast as a hot knife through butter. It was already more than ten zhang ahead. The flame had already reached the horse's tail. The horse's body trembled and it ran forward crazily. It was getting harder and harder to control its direction.
The people on both sides watched with their hearts in their throats. Elaine didn't need to be mentioned. Even Sister An, who was usually calm, was silently clenching her fists, sweating profusely.
Lin Wanrong's forehead was full of sweat. At this moment, he didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. He could only relax the horse's reins and carefully adjust the angle. Looking at the blazing ring of fire in front of him, he was only a few zhang away. Suddenly, he lightly roared, "Hyah — —"
It was silent all the way. Only the last roar was the most important. This unexpected roar made the fire horse's body tremble. It didn't have time to change its direction. It subconsciously raised its hooves and leaped forward.
The horse, like a rocket, suddenly soared into the air. Its body was almost flat, and its speed was fast and fast. Lin Wanrong tightly leaned on the horse's back. He could only hear the crackling of the sparks in his ears. One man and one horse were like lightning breaking through the air. They passed through the ring of fire lightly and quickly. Not even a trace of the flame was touched.
This was a skill he had trained in countless life and death situations on the battlefield. It was purely a kind of instinctive perception of people and horses, but it was very harmonious and perfect.
"Brother Alin!" A delicate voice sounded. The girl, Elaine, jumped straight down from the big stone and madly ran towards him.
The crowd was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, there was a tidal wave of applause. Countless Miao family members applauded and cheered. This was really a wonderful scene that had never been seen in the previous Flower Mountain Festival.
"Elaine, don't come over. The horse is scared. I can't stop!" Seeing Elaine running all the way with tears shining in her eyes and her delicate body swaying like a flower branch, Lin Wanrong hurriedly waved his hand and shouted.
The cheers of the mountain covered his voice. The girl didn't know what he was shouting. Seeing him waving his hand, she was so happy that her footsteps became faster.
The fire horse had long been unable to stop. It was as fast as lightning. He couldn't even control its direction. He desperately waved his hand to pull the reins, but it didn't work at all.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" He suddenly sat up from the horse's back. His eyes were blood red, and he desperately waved at the galloping Elaine.
Elaine looked at the fast horse that was flying towards her. Her eyes were infatuated. Suddenly, her cheeks turned red. She put her hands around her mouth and shouted at him with all her strength.
The crowd closest to her suddenly burst into cheers. Countless Mimai rushed forward with a smile and pushed Elaine forward. Elaine looked at him shyly and happily, and then lowered her head. Her cheeks were red from ear to neck.
The mountain was full of people's voices. Lin Wanrong was in a moment of panic, so he couldn't hear what she was shouting. But An Biru was a strong martial artist. Hearing this, she was stunned. She suddenly shook her head silently and sighed. She was angry and annoyed, "Disobedient little brother, I will teach you a lesson tonight!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Looking at Elaine's shy look, Lin Wanrong's voice became hoarse. When the girl heard it, the fast horse was already in front of her.
Elaine's eyes suddenly widened. In panic. She softly called, "Brother — —"
The fire horse was as fast as lightning. Like a gust of wind, Lin Wanrong was about to trample the young girl's delicate body under his hooves. His eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were about to crack. Suddenly, he let out a long roar and his body shot forward like a bow. With a swoosh, he grabbed the young girl with one arm.
The wind was whistling. The horse's hooves stepped on the lapel of Elaine's clothes, and the wind made her feel painful. In the nick of time, he snatched her up from the ground and abruptly held her in his arms, gasping for breath.
The people around were frightened until the danger was over, and then they burst into whistles and cheers. Countless Midomichai rushed towards them.
Lin Wanrong was a little annoyed, "Elaine. What are you doing? You will die! "
Elaine's body trembled slightly, and she lay motionless in his arms, shaking her head silently. She said gently, "I am not afraid of death!"
You are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of Sister Master. If I hold you like this, Sister An will definitely give me an injection tonight! He complained incessantly in his heart, and hurriedly looked towards the distant stage. An Biru was looking in this direction, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were indescribably charming. In the eyes of others, they would think that she was secretly flirting. Only Lin Wanrong knew in his heart that the more charming Sister An was, the greater the danger.
Towards the end, the fiery horse was exhausted, and its speed silently slowed down. Lin Wanrong held Elaine's body, and leaped down. Looking at the steed that kept rolling on the ground, he sighed silently, took out a hatchet, and chopped off the horse's neck, and never looked back again.
Many Midomichai of Moon Reflection Dock had already surrounded him, and all of them were admiring him with their thumbs up. Even Kun San, who had always been unconvinced of him, was embarrassed to go against him. But the girls' eyes were a little ambiguous, and they surrounded him, chattering non-stop.
After laughing for a while, Lin Wanrong suddenly felt that the situation around him was a little strange, and secretly raised his head, only to see a group of beautiful Miao girls surrounding him. There were Qing Miao, Bai Miao, Wu Miao, Hua Miao, and all kinds of beautiful girls. They were looking at him shyly, and wanted to speak, but no one was too embarrassed to do so.
The Mimachai of Moon Reflection Dock, in an instant, became nervous, and surrounded him in the middle. Both sides stared at each other, and chattered non-stop in the Miao language.
Lin Wanrong blinked as he listened, and quickly pulled Elaine, "What are they doing?"
Elaine giggled, "What I said last night has come true, these Mimachai have taken a fancy to you, and came to sing a duet with you!"
Duet? Lin Wanrong was so scared that he took a cold breath, if Sister An heard this, wouldn't she kill me?
Before his voice died away, a beautiful Bai Miao girl finally overcame her shyness, looked up at him, and sang softly,
Brother has two sounds on the drum,
Brother has two tones when he sings,
If you don't believe me, look back,
There's a girl behind me.
Making friends was the most important part of the Flower Mountain Festival, and this mountain song was the most blatant expression of affection. One party would sing first, and if the other party was interested, they would also have to sing a love song in return.
The Bai Miao girl lowered her head shyly, and waited for his response. Lin Wanrong felt uncomfortable all over, and quickly asked, "Elaine, what do we do now?"
The girl chuckled, "Do you still remember the bet last night? Now you've lost! "
According to the promise he made with Elaine last night, other than Sister An, if anyone else came to sing a duet with him, it would be considered as his loss. Looking at the current situation, he had lost very badly.
Could it be that he really wants me to sing? He was so scared that he shrunk his head, and quickly cupped his hands together, "Little sisters, I won by coincidence, it's not my real ability, and I don't know how to sing a mountain song! You guys should leave quickly! "
"Brother Ah Lin, you're good at riding a horse, and you're also pretty, if you say you don't know how to sing a mountain song, I won't believe it even if you beat me to death!" The Bai Miao girl who was waiting said shyly, but she had even found out his name, and came prepared.
What should he do? He secretly said, "How about, Elaine, let's cancel the bet!"
"No way!" The girl rejected immediately.
"Do I have to sing?" His expression was extremely pained.
"Of course you have to sing," Elaine lowered her head, and said softly, "But, you're not allowed to sing with anyone else!"
"What do you mean?" He was suddenly shocked.
"My silly Brother Ah Lin, do you still not understand?!" One of the girls from the Reflecting Moon Dock laughed, "Of course, you can only sing if our Elaine sings! You can't sing anyone else's! "
Elaine turned around shyly, and walked away. The girls from the Reflecting Moon Dock hurriedly stopped her, and stomped their feet, "Aiya, my good sister, look at the situation now! If you hesitate any longer, your brother will be snatched away by someone else, when that time comes, it'll be too late for you to cry! Sing, quickly sing! "
The crowd urged again and again. Elaine was a famous lark who usually sang folk songs as soon as she opened her mouth, but today, she was tightly holding the corner of her clothes, and her cheeks were bright red like blood. She secretly looked at him, and did not even dare to open her mouth.
One of the girls, Mimai, was smart enough to find a piece of bamboo that Elaine carved for Brother Ah Lin yesterday, and hurriedly stuffed it into Elaine's hand, "This, this is it!"
Elaine looked at him shyly, and finally mustered up the courage to sing softly,
The sun shines on the high cliff,
Golden flowers and silver flowers fall,
I don't love gold and silver everywhere,
I only love good people like my brother.
A clear and melodious folk song was sung, and Elaine immediately heaved a long sigh of relief. She lowered her head, shyly and expectantly, and secretly looked at him.
Wasn't this asking for his life?! Lin Wanrong's heart was beating wildly, and he recalled the little things that happened when he entered the Miao Village, and remembered how Elaine took care of him in every possible way. His heart was immediately filled with mixed feelings.
Mimai from the Reflecting Moon Dock saw that he was frowning and did not speak, but became angry, "Brother Ah Lin, are you a blockhead! You made a bet with Elaine last night, you have to go back when she sings! If you don't keep your word, then you are no longer a friend of the Reflecting Moon Dock! "
Since he lost the bet, he naturally had to keep his word. However, the few songs that he knew had long been scared out of his wits, not to mention that love song could not be sung randomly.
"I, I don't remember!" He hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"You don't remember?" The few Mimai giggled, "That's easy!"
They chose one from the bamboo pieces, covered the last line, and handed it to him with a smile, "Just sing this one!"
Lin Wanrong carefully looked at it, "Just three lines?!"
"Yes," the girls smiled and said, "A little more than three lines, and there's a simple line at the end. Don't worry, you are our Brother Ah Lin, why would we harm you? "
These few lines were nothing, Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth,
From thousands of miles away,
Not for gold, not for money.
Not for money, not for rice.
The girls' hands suddenly loosened, "— Only for love — Stop, you are blackmailing me?! This doesn't count, it doesn't count! "
"We are not blackmailing you!" The Mimai jumped to Elaine's side, laughing, "Little sister, your brother sang! What are you going to give him?! "
Elaine was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head at all. She secretly looked at Brother Ah Lin, her hands trembling, gently untied her white belt, slowly handed it to him, bowed her head and whispered, "Brother —"
This time it was really bad! Lin Wanrong looked serious and shook his head silently, "Elaine, it's not like this!"
Elaine's face was pale, and her body was shaking, "You, you don't like me?"
Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth, "I can't like you —"
"Pa", the belt in Elaine's hand fell to the ground silently.
"Brother!" She glanced at him gently, and tears burst out of her eyes. She suddenly turned her head and ran up the mountain.
