C42 The Short-haired Girl's Peacock Dance Not Bad Awareness

Tao Huizhen stared at the center of the bonfire for a long time without looking away. The flames were dancing in her eyes, as if they were struggling to break away from the root of the fire.

As the flames danced, Tao Huizhen's face was sometimes hidden in the darkness. Sometimes it was illuminated. She stood at the edge of the lively atmosphere, her small face covered in a solemn mask. Those who sang and danced. . . Under the light of the fire, there were only shadows left. Tao Huizhen felt as if she had seen a series of film scenes. Behind the white curtain, there were all kinds of scenes.

After staring at it for a long time, Tao Huizhen's gaze passed through the flames and noticed that on the other side of the bonfire, there were still many men, women, old and old in the tea villages. They were opening the curtains to the dance, which were all very traditional folk dances. With just a glance, Tao Huizhen would be able to accurately determine the rhythm of the dance from the messy accompaniment.

Tao Huizhen could clearly identify which accompaniment they were dancing with. And in the eyes of the non-professionals. Dozens of instruments were playing at the same time. Many people were dancing in the same space, playing different songs. Apart from feeling the atmosphere, the only thing that was left was a long time of confusion.

Yes, non-professionals could not sense that.

The whole dance was expressing what kind of emotion was advancing, like a drum hitting which body movement. Tao Huizhen was also able to comprehend it very well. In fact, the Dai village's national dance. . . Generally speaking, the rhythm was casual, and the improvisation was greater than the performance on the stage. It was said that the language of the dance was controlled by emotions. It was not to change the feelings of the dancer or audience through the language of dance. However, it could not be denied that. . . Music and dance were the innate gifts of most Dai people, and even most of the minorities.

Tao Huizhen shifted her gaze away. Under a tree far away from the bonfire, a thin and tall figure had her back to her. Only her upper body was vaguely exposed to the limits of the light of the fire. She was probably wearing a rather old, thick cloth cylindrical skirt. It was the back of a young girl. Her short, oily hair looked from behind and was together with her slender neck.

Tao Huizhen's heart suddenly contracted violently as warm blood flowed through her body. Her cheeks were burning. That back view. . . She had seen it once. On the night of the closing festival, she surfaced for the first time, and today, she appeared once again!

She had been in Dai Village for a year and a half, and only this mysterious back view remained. It was something that Tao Huizhen had never been familiar with. She boasted that she could recognize the people of Da Tea Village. Especially those children, she had never missed out on them. And this short-haired girl who was different from everyone else. . . It was as if she suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of her. No one mentioned it to her. It was also because she had never seen her face before. In her impression, the girl probably had countless connections with Ah Liang. However, the frequency at which she appeared was too low. So low that she seemed to really be an illusion of Tao Huizhen. Could it be that she was from the neighboring village?

The first time she saw her back was because she heard Ah Liang beating the little elephant's foot drum for her. Since then. Ah Liang seemed to have disappeared from Dai Village. Tao Huizhen instinctively thought that the place where the girl had appeared. . . Perhaps Ah Liang's shadow was there. She walked towards the girl. During this process, Tao Huizhen had her eyes locked on the girl. She was afraid that she would disappear into thin air, afraid that it would be like the last time. . . She'd lost the chance to meet her.

One step, two steps. . . Tao Huizhen acted like last time at the bonfire party at the closing ceremony. With great difficulty, she separated the crowd in front of her and struggled to squeeze through the gaps in the crowd.

Gradually, the girl's agile figure in the entire dance floor made Tao Huizhen unable to look away. As a result, in Tao Huizhen's eyes, the background was blurred, and only the black-haired girl became clearer and clearer. As for the sounds of the musical instruments that rose and fell, it seemed to have suddenly reduced the volume. In this world, there were only her and the girl.

The young girl's simple three curved movements reminded Tao Hui of a type of bird. It was a simple and unadorned body without any decoration or embellishments. There was no Zhang Yang, no contamination, and no influence from others.

This was a scene that Tao Huizhen saw as something that could reflect the language of dance and use her own emotions to influence other people's feelings. It was closer to the dance performance that she learned and the stage performance, and not the traditional national dance that was mainly for entertainment. It was quite rare for this to be reflected in a girl's body.

"Didn't she follow any rhythm? The accompaniment was different from her dancing beats. "

"So she was dancing the peacock dance of the Dai women. So she is imitating the peacock. The accompaniment around her was so chaotic that there wasn't a single accompaniment that belonged to her. Yet, she was so immersed in her dancing. Could it be that her song was also played in her heart? "

Tao Huizhen thought of the familiar accompaniment that had resounded in her heart when she was practicing in the morning. The way she danced seemed to overlap with the girl in front of her at some point in time.

Peacock dance was performed in the entire Dai village or the entire Dai territory. It was almost a male dance. There were a few female dancers who had performed the female Peacock dance on the stage, but they were also very rare. In the long river of history, The traditional peacock dance of the Dai clan was also performed by males. It was very common to see it during festivals and celebrations. The Dai people called the peacock dance "Galoyong. " The women, on the other hand, often did fish and butterfly dance, and "Suya Swallow" dance that mimicked the actions and habits of animals.

It was the same in Tea Village. Tao Huizhen had never seen a woman try a peacock dance. The girl's standard peacock dance tonight made her feel that she had never met this girl before. It was different from all the Dai villagers. Clearly, the Peacock Dance was a male dance, but the girl clearly did not think that the Peacock Dance could have such a side. There were so many dance styles suitable for women. Why did she prefer "Galoyong"?

She was probably the most unique existence in the entire bonfire party, whether it was her short hair or her dance moves that were beyond her control. She gave people the illusion that she was the only person in her world.

Walking out of the crowd, Tao Huizhen's face lit up in the fire. She was already very close to the girl. After confirming that she was jumping on her own, she confirmed that there was definitely an 'ear-splitting' accompaniment in her heart. However, Tao Huizhen was not sure if there was a stage in her heart. Was there an audience?

Ah Liang wasn't there. Tao Hui's flushed face revealed an unconcealable sense of loss. In fact, Tao Hui Zhen had already expected this outcome. Tonight, there was no high pitched sound of the Elephant-Foot Drum.

The rumors and the questioning of the parents in the afternoon made Tao Huizhen think of the opportunity to catch Ah Liang as a bet. But she once again lost Ah Liang. Where did that child go?

Fortunately, the terrible day did not come to an end. The girl who suddenly broke into her line of sight, No matter what the future was like, just tonight. . . At this moment, it could give Tao Huizhen a considerable amount of comfort. She started to imitate the dance of a young girl. The dancing of the peacock was much more pleasurable than imagined. She began to analyze the girl's inner accompaniment in her heart. She couldn't help but dance!

This child was malnourished and his skin was tanned. What kind of appearance did she have?

Tao Huizhen was thinking. The young girl suddenly turned her head around, and their gazes met in an instant! Tao Huizhen clearly felt as if her body was covered in a layer of ice. Her body, which was still moving rhythmically, instantly froze. The girl with big eyes was also stunned. Her pupils enlarged several times.

Originally, the two of them were in a dark shadow, but coincidentally. . . A flame suddenly appeared, covering their faces. Pupils. Both of them lit up, allowing both sides to see each other clearly and remember each other. Tao Huizhen read from the other party's eyes: In an instant, she was puzzled, but she quickly calmed down. She continued with her unfinished dance.

The first reaction she had when she averted her gaze, the girl's large eyes made Tao Huizhen think of the Green Peacock for some reason. When she looked at her, her entire eyes were filled with complicated rays of light. Perhaps she didn't expect Tao Huizhen to barge into her life so rashly? She even imitated her posture.

Her second reaction was that Tao Huizhen confirmed that she didn't know this young woman. She seemed to be rather young, yet she suffered from hardships. She was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her hair was very thick, as if it was pressing down on her head and leaning forward. There was still a scratch on her face, and it looked like it was slowly getting better.

Seeing the girl continue to indulge in the traditional dance of the Dai clan, Tao Huizhen seemed to understand why Ah Liang would play for her.

Tao Huizhen watched the girl's "performance" for a long time. As the bonfire slowly darkened, It seemed that the Peacock Dance was coming to an end. After the girl did a good finishing move, she walked towards the depths of the village. She did not ignore Tao Huizhen. On the way, she turned her head several times. However, Tao Huizhen seemed to have lost the ability to speak. She had clearly noticed these "reluctant" signals, but she did not do anything. She allowed the girl's thin figure to continue. She disappeared into the shade of the night.

Tao Huizhen's thoughts were still stuck at a few minutes ago. The girl did not perform Cai's dance like that. From a professional point of view, There were many problems that could not be ignored. One could also say that she did not hold back at all. It was full of loopholes. However, it deeply stirred Tao Huizhen's heart. Perhaps it was because Tao Huizhen hadn't seen professional dancing for a long time. Tao Huizhen herself couldn't understand the reason for this in a short period of time. It had to be around the dance and outside of it. A certain characteristic of that girl must have moved her.

Strangely enough, the girl was doing her own thing. She ignored the gazes around her and started to dance in the corner. From Tao Huizhen's point of view, Wasn't this a form of persistence? With such a goal, she wouldn't care about the gazes of others. Wasn't this the "walk your own path of the great poet Aligai Dante? Let others say it. " That famous poem?

What about herself? What was her goal in coming to Dai Village? Did she ignore the gazes of others and walk her own path? Like that girl, she danced freely and freely!

Tao Huizhen suddenly understood. She never would have thought that she would be pulled out of the valley by a young girl without saying a word. What she would never have thought was that the young girl, Qiuhe, who had suddenly barged into her life, would become a pivotal member of her life's journey. Perhaps it would also change the trajectory of her life.

At the same time, little Qiuhe would never know that Tao Huizhen would also become the turning point of her life, the guide for her future growth.

When Tao Huizhen came back to her senses, the passionate singing and dancing had unknowingly ended. Qiuhe had already disappeared into the night, and the bonfire not far away was also about to burn out. Tao Huizhen looked at the sky full of stars and suddenly smiled. "Look at me. How proud I am. I actually forgot to ask about Ah Liang. . . "
