C40 Imakan

"You've always kept this book?"

Liu Sanshun was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly, but Fu Xiaoqing was still as calm and relaxed as before.

"Actually, I forgot about it a long time ago. I found it when I packed my things last night, so I thought I should return it to you. Also, I owe you a thank you back then, and now I'll return it to you together. "

Fu Xiaoqing suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Sanshun's excited face. Her eyes revealed a trace of melancholy.

"Liu Sanshun, thank you. "

Fu Xiaoqing only said this sentence before looking to the side and walking away.

Liu Sanshun shivered and subconsciously reached out to stop her.

"Xiaoqing. . . What do you mean? I know I brought you a lot of trouble. But I apologize for this. It's not that I want to give up halfway, but I really can't give you any more trouble. Because of me, your family is in chaos. . . Oh, sorry, This adjective is a bit inappropriate. But, I really feel that. . . I should be more self-aware. I am a thick-skinned person. It doesn't matter, but you are different. . . "

Liu Sanshun spoke very sincerely, it was all from his heart.

He had always felt that since he was single and had a rotten life, he could do whatever he wanted, but he absolutely could not affect Fu Xiaoqing.

"To be honest, Liu Sanshun, towards you. . . I'm actually quite. . . Disappointed. " Fu Xiaoqing suddenly sighed and said in a low voice, "I've observed you for a long time. I always thought that you were different from others. I never thought. . . That you wouldn't be able to persist either. "

"It's not that I can't persist. I just don't want to implicate you in persisting with me. You should know what the villagers say behind my back. I. . . "

Before Liu Sanshun could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that Fu Xiaoqing seemed to have a tear at the corner of her eyes.

"Are you sad?" He asked nervously.

"I'm not, you think too much. I'm just. . . A little disheartened. "

Fu Xiaoqing inadvertently wiped away that teardrop and once again cast her gaze into the distance.

Liu Sanshun scratched his head again and said awkwardly, "The villagers all say that I'm a liar, and your parents also say so. I can tolerate this, but for me, you quarreled with your dad over and over again, and even were forced to go on blind dates. I'm really. . . Sorry for you. "

Fu Xiaoqing suddenly interrupted him and said, "Do you know why I wanted to learn fish skin paintings back then?"

Liu Sanshun shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that you liked to play with these things when you were in school. Later on, the more you played with them, the more powerful they became. All the people in the surrounding villages were famous. To be honest, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. "

Fu Xiaoqing smiled. "There's nothing to admire or not admire. Actually, my parents don't know how to fish skin paintings. When I was young, I learned from my grandma. Because. . . Grandma once said something to me, and she said. . . Our Huzhe girls were born to know this skill. Our clan has no words. There are very few people in the clan, if no one wants to learn it. . . A lot of things will be lost. "

She sat down on the bluestone once again. Liu Sanshun also sat down, but he didn't dare to get too close. He was about a meter away from Fu Xiaoqing and didn't say anything.

He knew that Fu Xiaoqing's story had only just begun.

"I've really felt since I was a child that fish are the best gift nature has ever given us. Every picture of fish skin. . . Every piece of fish skin, I always feel that it must have a life of its own. A soul of its own. Every time at this moment, I feel. . . There are many Elves accompanying me. . . They are the gifts of Endurance, and have accompanied the Philosopher for thousands of years. In our era, although people no longer need to wear fish clothes, We should not forget the precious wealth passed down to us by our ancestors. The soul of the Hezbols of the vast Wusurijiang. . . They should be rooted here forever. "

Fu Xiaoqing's tone was ethereal, as if she was reciting the most beautiful poem in the world.

Liu Sanshun scratched his head. . .

"Sister Xiaoqing, what you said is really good. I can't say something like that. "

"That's what I've been thinking from the bottom of my heart all this time. I've never told anyone about it. After Grandma passed away, No one could teach me anymore, so I went to town to find my master. Because of this matter, My parents scolded me a lot, but thinking about it now. . . If I used all the time I spent learning fish skin paintings to study, wouldn't I be able to get into a better university? Perhaps, I wouldn't have to return to this small fishing village for the rest of my life. "

Fu Xiaoqing's words contained a trace of regret, but then she smiled and said," Perhaps this is my life. So I often think that this Wusurijiang must be unwilling to let me go. Those fish are unwilling to let me go. You said, since I stayed, Should I do it for my hometown, for the Hezhe people? Do something?"

Liu Sanshun chuckled and said, "You think too much about that. Will it be good for your hometown and the Hezhe Tribe if you stay? I don't know, but for those fish. . . You hunt fish every day, skin them. . . And make them into paintings and clothes to wear. Which fish would want you to stay. . . "

He was originally joking, but Fu Xiaoqing became serious. She said, "So when I choose the materials, I use fish that fit the standard. I feel that since Endor gives us the way to survive. . . Then we should obey, but not kill indiscriminately. Fishes are food, but they are also life. When they come to this world, they also have a mission. . . "

" Enough, enough. I understand. Your mission is to pass on the art of fish skin. Their mission is to let you pass on the art of fish skin. As for my mission, it is to fight with your father and get him to agree to let you pass on the art of fish skin. . . "

Liu Sanshun's words caused Fu Xiaoqing to finally laugh.

Liu Sanshun suddenly sighed and said, "To be honest, why would I want to make the art of fish skin when I go to the city? You definitely won't believe me if I tell you. "

"What belief, say it"

"I saw those foreign tourists who liked our Huzhe Clan's fish skin products. However, there are too few places to sell fish skin paintings. As you said, The more traditional things are abandoned, the more our traditions are lost. Although there are a lot of places where the Hezhe tribe's special tourism is being conducted, To a certain extent, it maintains the Hezhe tribe's tradition, but it is still too one-sided. It was all for the sake of tourism, to attract tourists. . . The true art of fish skin was not well spread. Not to mention heritage and development. "

Liu Sanshun licked his lips and saw that Fu Xiaoqing was listening attentively. He continued, "But don't think that I'm being so serious. Actually. . . I feel that this starting point is especially positive. As long as we promote traditional culture, I think that we will be recognized by a lot of people. Although there are a lot of brainless jokes on the Internet, deep in people's hearts, I still hope to see more. . . More. . . "

He suddenly did not know how to express it and Fu Xiaoqing seemed to be in a better mood. She looked at Liu Sanshun and said, "In the depths of people's hearts, What they want to see more is actually the great love between people. The harmony between people and nature, the brainless and funny things can only be entertained for a moment. Only that kind of power that could directly hit the heart could make people feel respect. This kind of power needs to be passed down from us. It will be passed down forever. "

Liu Sanshun was also a little excited, but after thinking for a while, he said with a bitter smile, "So, if you can't convince your dad, we can combine the fish skin painting with the electronic business and let the fish skin painting walk out. I'm afraid it will still be a failure. "

The smile on Fu Xiaoqing's face slowly disappeared, and she sighed again.

"I can only try again, but it's very difficult. Actually, my father is too stubborn. He always feels that the times change again. . . Life is always real. In the long years, And there would always be something that would be eliminated, abandoned. But I don't think so. I often told him that our Hezhe clan only has language. A race of words. Although there are more than a hundred Hezhe in the village, However, I'm afraid that there aren't even five people who can use the Hezhe language to communicate. "

"I wouldn't. . . " Liu Sanshun said awkwardly.

"I told you before that I agreed to teach you how to fish skin paintings because you let go of the wild big yellow fish. Everyone said you were stupid, but I felt that you were different. We Hezhe people believe in nature, and everything has a spirit. That's why I believe that your kindness will definitely bring you good fortune. "

"This. . . " Liu Sanshun didn't know how to respond to this. He thought to himself that it was purely to create a sensational effect. At the same time, it was also because he remembered his mother's story about the Fish God that he couldn't bear to hurt the wild giant turtle fish. However, he didn't expect that Fu Xiaoqing would always remember it in her heart.

Seeing that Liu Sanshun was a little embarrassed, Fu Xiaoqing didn't say anything else. She couldn't help but open her mouth and sing a small tune unique to the Hezhe Tribe, "Imakan. "

The melodious song drifted to the gradually darkening sky by the river.
