Chapter 113 Ailao Mountain
Chapter [-] Ailao Mountain
After a lively "door-opening festival" with the locals in Dali, Xia Kai and He Yuanying walked into Ailao Mountain.

The two of them followed a small mountain path, winding up from the foot of the mountain, coiling along the slope to the ridge, and extending to the depths of the mountain.

Ailao Mountain has towering trees and is a sea of ​​forests, majestic and majestic, but there are mostly cliffs on the mountainside.

The confidant of the tea-horse trade road leading to Ailao Mountain is mostly an uninhabited area.The terrain here is dangerous, with the momentum of "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it".

The climate of Ailao Mountain is changeable, which can be said to be a special three-dimensional climate of "one mountain is divided into four seasons, and every neighborhood is different".Bandits are often rampant here, and it is a place where soldiers and bandits must fight.

Caravans cross the Ailao Mountain Ancient Road, and hundreds of mules and horses and thousands of businessmen pass here every day.

The most dangerous thing for merchants and caravans on this commercial road is to cross the dense forest of Ailao Mountain and cross the Red River for caravans.

Xia Kai walked along this business road, admiring the beautiful scenery, looking at the beautiful and lovely lover, he couldn't help feeling deeply moved, thinking of his caravan days in his previous life!I found that God is really kind to me!

Not only let myself find the one I love, but also stay together forever!And it can be reincarnated and reborn, which is a treatment that those immortal cultivators who have reached the peak of the late Yuanying period cannot enjoy!

Xia Kaizheng was immersed in self-satisfied reverie, and suddenly turned out a group of people from the valley in front, all of them were tall and strong, holding wooden sticks, and one of them was still wearing a festive groom's attire.

They were taken aback for a moment, and looked at the ugly groom in unison. When the groom saw He Yuanying, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately drooled, and directed a group of people to rush towards the two of them.

At the back of the line, someone actually played the three-stringed qin, followed by a group of young men and women who danced and sang to their heart's content amidst the melodious sound of the three-stringed lute.

Xia Kai is an outstanding child cultivated by a big family. Although he may not be able to "see a lot", "knowledge" is a must!
He has black lines all over his face now, so he can naturally see that this team is not bandits, but like the legendary team of snatching the bride!The person who robbed her was actually his lover!
The lover disguised herself as a man, and her charm was three points better than her own. I was afraid of being robbed of the limelight, so I asked her to change back into women's clothes.

Kidnapping is an unmarried man who snatches the unmarried woman he likes into his own home to get married. This custom is popular in many places in Dali.

However, the vast majority of snatching marriages are actually just for show. This is just a way of marriage negotiated by the man and woman.

Of course, there are also those who really take advantage of their power to snatch the marriage, so you have to be optimistic about the girl in advance. Although the girl is unwilling to marry that guy, but relying on her family's wealth, she spends money to hire a lot of people to go to snatch the marriage. Ready to go.

Looking at the groom's ugly face smiling like a flower, and directing the group of thugs with wooden sticks to come up, it seems that the bridegroom's kidnapping was a temporary idea of ​​the groom.

Those men holding wooden sticks were still quite measured in their shots. They all raised them high and lowered them gently, with the purpose of driving away the people around the girl, and then calmly snatched the girl away!

Xia Kai is already furious now, not to mention that they used sticks to attack themselves first, even if they want to touch their lovers, they can't do it!

I saw that Xia Kai looked like a ghost, and his strikes were like the wind. With only a few breaths of effort, he knocked down a dozen strong men to the ground.

Of course, for the sake of their bluff, Xia Kai didn't injure them severely, but used ingenuity. Seeing them all rolling on the ground, none of them were actually injured!

The reason why they fall to the ground is firstly to make the employer feel that they have tried their best; secondly, they really dare not get up and do it again, lest they really hurt themselves when they get angry, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The one the groom wanted to snatch was a girl from the village at the foot of the mountain.But on the way, when he saw the color, he wanted to snatch He Yuanying!The crime is in Xia Kai's hands!Although he ran down the mountain quickly, Xia Kai caught up with him and punished him, but he didn't hit him hard.

In some places in Dali, there is a custom of robbing relatives, but it can only be "robbed" after the Opening of the Door Festival, which can be roughly divided into three situations.

The first situation is that the young man and the woman have feelings for each other, but when the man comes to talk about marriage, the woman's parents disagree.At this time, the young men and women set a date in private and let the man organize manpower to snatch the marriage.

According to the agreed day, the man invited his partner to sneak into the woman's house late at night, dragged the girl and ran away. The girl deliberately called her parents and family members loudly to show that she was robbed.

Since the woman's parents were unprepared, most of the marriage snatching went smoothly.After marriage, the girl and son-in-law come back to recognize their relatives. The raw rice has been cooked, and the parents can only recognize this marriage with their noses!

The second situation is that the girl has her own lover, but the parents insist on marrying the girl to another person who also likes the girl.

When two men like a girl, one of the men asks his companion to snatch the girl back home.

The other man who did not snatch the girl, even if he got the news halfway, he could only watch helplessly as the girl was snatched away, instead of intercepting it halfway, this is the rule of snatching marriages.

The third situation is that the marriage has already been arranged, and both the man and the woman are people who care about face, but the man cannot afford the dowry, and the woman cannot afford the dowry, so the marriage cannot be completed in time.

At the same time, due to the cumbersome wedding etiquette and the huge cost, both the man and the woman wanted to save money, so they negotiated in private and adopted the method of robbing the bride.

This groom brought someone over the mountains to snatch the marriage, it should be one of the very few business marriages, and it is also under the guise of snatching the bride!
The snatching team came to the foot of the mountain, and the sun just went down. They did not enter the village, but rested on the spot.

Xia Kai and He Yuanying followed, and the groom was severely frightened by Xia Kai's punishment, thinking that Xia Kai was going to spoil his marriage, so he hurried forward and stammered to explain the situation.

It turned out that it was difficult for him to find a wife in the local area because of his ugly appearance and ferocious face. Fortunately, his family was a well-known wealthy family in the local area, so he spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy this daughter-in-law who robbed him.

The sky became hazy, and a man appeared not far away, who was the bride's father. He waved, and the snatching team followed him into a yard. A woman dressed as a bride was sent to the snatching team with her hands tied. hands.

Xia Kai and He Yuanying did not enter the stockade, but watched coldly on the hillside outside. Xia Kai wanted to stand up several times to fight the injustice, but He Yuanying stopped him.

This woman was obviously sold by her parents. Although she may not be happy emotionally, but marrying a wealthy husband's family, her future life may not be bad!
