Chapter 44 The roaring little train
"Hey ha!"
"Oh ho!"
The students stared blankly at the two teams making strange roars at each other, all confused.
After the greetings between the two parties were completed, the Heishui Village Spring Festival team, who came out later, slowly took a few steps back.
Then, Heishui Village led the dance, slowly bent down, put one hand on the drum at his waist, and raised his other hand to his mouth.
"Uh huh"
The lead dancer quickly covered his mouth with his hands while playing the tone, from low to high, from slow to fast, until the last sound seemed to pierce the sky, and he quickly lowered his palms.
"Bang bang"
The lead dancer leaned back, bent his legs forward, and beat the waist drum rhythmically with his hands. The other musicians behind him also started to cooperate at this moment.
A melodious but exciting percussion sound instantly sounded, and the dancers behind them all stamped their feet on the ground at this moment, and shouted at the same time: "Ha!"
This move was like a fuse. The Wolong Village Dance Team on the opposite side also made the same gesture at this moment and responded with: "Roar"
Afterwards, the two sides stared at each other and rotated 180 degrees like cockfighting cocks.
"Is this, is this going to be a fight?"
The students were frightened by the momentum exuded by the dance teams from both sides and crowded together one after another.
"This is not a fight, this is a dance for love." An old driver who had participated in the Wolong Temple Fair said with a smile as he smoked a cigarette.
"Dance for spring? Isn't spring already here? What's there to fight for?" The students were still confused after listening.
"What they are fighting for is not spring as you understand it, but a kind of popular feeling and momentum!"
"I don't know what it is specifically, but it's their tradition. Let's take a closer look. This battle is not common. I don't know which village will be the dance leader this year?"
As the old driver spoke for a moment, the Wolong Village Dance Team started a dance battle with the Heishui Village Dance Team.
The dance moves of the two dance teams were very cool. The dancers from both sides tried their best and showed many dance moves that they had never seen before.
"good!"
The students had long been attracted by the dances of the two dance teams in front of them. Now they saw a pair performing difficult Thomas spins, and many boys clapped their hands excitedly.
And it’s not just boys. After the dragon dance team, there is also a group of flower dance teams. They dance with enchanting figures to show the beautiful story of the arrival of spring, which attracts the yearning of female students.
"call"
As both sides exhaled at the same time, both sides stopped dancing at the same time. The Wolong Village Dragon Dance Team handed the raised dragon to the Heishui Village Dragon Dance Team, and then they beat their chests heavily and shouted: "Dragon
God bless you and everything will have a good harvest!"
"The dragon god protects you, may you be healthy and live a long life!"
Then, the two lead dancers exchanged the garlands on their heads with each other, and then hugged each other. Then, the team from Wolong Village began to return towards the way they came, while Heishui Village, which had taken over the long queue, continued to sing and dance towards the next village.
March.
"What is this for?" The students stretched their necks and looked curiously at the Blackwater Village heading outside.
"Open the door to welcome the spring"
"As long as the Spring Festival procession passes by, people must open the door no matter what, take out some crops at home and offer them to show that they have accepted the blessings and give the same blessings, and so on, and continue to pass them on."
"As for the wreaths they exchanged just now, they are the blessings of the two villages to each other!" the old driver explained at the side.
"Wow, Master, you know a lot! Are you from here?" A classmate asked curiously.
The old driver smiled, looked at the dragon dance team of Heishui Village going away and said, "I'm not from Wolong Mountain, but I think when you were your age, you never missed a single Wolong Temple Fair, and you got up before five o'clock.
I called my friends to walk dozens of miles to catch up here!"
"At that time, I would be excited for several days if I could catch the Wolong Temple Fair!"
As the old driver spoke, there was a trace of reminiscence on his face, as if he was thinking of his lost youth.
At this time, the teacher who had finished communicating with Heishui Village came back with Liu Dayan.
"Village Chief Liu, we are in the first grade. There are three classes and more than 200 students here this time. I wonder if the small train you mentioned can fit in?" the teacher asked.
Liu Da looked at the four cars full of students and immediately smiled from ear to ear. The eldest nephew did not lie to him. There were really people from the city. Although they were only students, this was undoubtedly a good sign.
ah!
Originally, Liu Dayan had no hope for today's reception. Even if the temple fair could spread, it would take at least three days before anyone from the city would come.
But these people have a surprise for themselves!
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang. There will be absolutely no problem. Although the small train cannot accommodate so many people at a time,"
"But it only takes half an hour to go back and forth from our Heishui Village to the main venue of Wolong Village. We can get you all there soon!"
Teacher Wang heard Liu Dayan's assurance and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, then we will follow your command."
Later, under the arrangement of Teacher Wang, the students were divided into two batches and followed Liu Dayan to the lumberyard in Heishui Village!
"Wow, this little train is so classic! Isn't this the kind of little coal-burning train in the TV series?"
"It's so exquisite and cute. Take a photo for me!"
When the students came to the lumberyard and saw the small train, they were all attracted by its appearance.
The small train in Blackwater Town is different from the trains outside. It is very small and mini, and the overall look gives people a cute feeling.
And this seemingly cute little train was originally the main means of transportation for dozens of villages in Wolong Mountain.
At that time, the mountain road had not yet been built, and it was very difficult to transport materials between villages. At that time, Gu Kaishan led more than 30 villages and worked together to build the driveway that ran through more than 30 villages, and after many applications and approvals,
Little train.
However, with the construction of mountain roads, the role of the small train gradually weakened, and due to the cancellation of Wolong Town, it lost maintenance. To this day, except for transporting some heavy items, the small train is rarely used.
Just a few days ago, Gu Yuan had a sudden idea of using a small train as the main means of transportation to the temple fair.
After Gu Yuan’s guidance and the renovation of Heishui Village, the little train is not only completely new from the inside out, but Gu Yuan also had a trick and asked Liu Big Eyes to spray-paint the little train red!
Let me ask you, who can resist a cute little pink train?
As a result, the lumberyard where the train stopped erupted with excited cheers, and the students rushed to get on the train for fear of being late.
Chapter completed!
