C49 Blizzard
A snowflake fell on the tip of Yu Er's finger. It was a cool feeling that was different from the cold winter, because the snowflake quickly melted on the tip of her finger. That chill that made one's heart palpitate went straight to their heart. It was worth the little girl closing her eyes to listen and experience carefully.
Carrying songs and dancing were the traditional habits of the people of Dai Country. They danced with the elephant's feet and drums. It had long become a type of culture for Dai people. Men, women, old, and young all had their voices heard in the Dai village, dancing. They were all born dancers. Born singers. They sang and danced while celebrating, they sang and danced when they were sad, and they still sang and danced when they were suffering. Yu'er would also spend her free time. She would use dancing to express her feelings. Her mood was different, and her dance moves were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Different degrees of relaxation.
Unlike the Peacock Dance that Qiuhe specializes in, Yu'er's dance was more radical and the rhythm was more intense. Every step and movement seemed to be stepping on the beat of a drum. Her body was very tight and she had a strong tension. The basics of dancing were also very solid. In other words, her body development was very good. Her expression was also perfectly focused, and there was no room for doubt.
Form, spirit, strength, and rhythm were the soul of dance.
The eyes were the windows to the soul, the finishing touch of a dragon's charm. When dancing and performing, One had to remember this point. Many feelings had to be expressed and confirmed through the eyes. Yu Er seemed to be in high spirits today. Unbelievable. When Yu'er was dancing, her temperament was exactly the opposite of hers. Her dance could often be majestic and majestic. The big movements went through the whole process and danced for a while. Even in this cold winter, she was sweating a lot.
The dance allowed her weak body to burst forth with a huge amount of energy. She danced with a passion that she couldn't normally have.
In terms of pure dancing, Yu Er's dance style was even closer to Tao Huizhen's. They both had explosive hairstyles and could consume the energy of their bodies in a short period of time, displaying the most intense and passionate side.
Their dancing was filled with absolute enthusiasm. It was high up in the sky and gave people a direct visual impact. With just a few movements, sweat could not be stopped flowing down. Their dance accompaniment was usually drum and brass pipe instruments. These instruments that could move the opening speed of the dance to the greatest extent could be closely integrated with their dancing style.
As for Qiuhe's Peacock Dance, it was flat and straightforward. From beginning to end, it used the same rhythm and rhythm. Every stroke was tirelessly narrated. There was no need to rush. No matter how much effort and time was spent on each dance movement, it was impossible to take advantage of the situation. Until the last dance movement was completed, he couldn't let his guard down.
If Autumn Lotus's dance also required sweat, her sweat came from nothing. It was a linear reflection, in short, A lot of people gathered together. If she was lucky enough to step onto the stage. Then her audience would be the same, from being immersed in acting to being fascinated. And from being immersed in acting, it was also a linear development process. It was very rare for it to be sudden. But this doesn't mean that her dance will lose its artistic color. Looking at the history of dance, the history of movies, Often, those songs that people couldn't forget and left a deep impression on others. . . It was these seemingly ordinary and unknowingly deeply ingrained things in the hearts of people.
The wind suddenly weakened, but the coldness was still bone-corroding. The temperature had already dropped below zero degrees a few days ago.
Yu Er finished dancing and opened her eyes. The snowflakes that were fluttering in the air had already fallen for a while, and there was a layer of fluffy white snow on the ground. It was the first snow. It was the first real snow that Yu Er had seen in her life.
It was a snowy scene in Dai Village with banana leaves. On the top of the resting peak of the fence building, there was some white snow. Expelled vision. The entire world was filled with snow. Wherever he could see, Everything turned white. The tea fields, sticky rice fields, mountains, and plains were all covered by the falling snow. A clear stream outside Dai Village. The snow immediately melted when it fell.
"It's snowing!" Yu'er exclaimed. She turned around and saw Qiuhe, who had come to study today, looking at her at the school building's entrance.
Qiu He saw Yu Er dancing and her face was expressionless. Yu-er stared at Qiuhe and did not have much good intentions. When it came to treating orphans, even a kind little girl like Yu Er could not help but be like her peers and mistakenly enter the wrong path.
"You haven't seen snow before, have you?" Qiuhe hugged her book and looked up at the snow that was falling faster and faster.
"Neither have you. " They grew up in the Great Tea Village and naturally experienced the same snow in the past.
"But I can imagine that before I saw the snow, I already knew what snow looked like. So when I saw the snow, I wasn't as surprised as you. " Qiu He said.
"If not for Teacher Tao, what qualifications do you have to study with us? Orphans?"
"I won't argue with you. You can continue to look at the snow. Yu Er, it's not easy to snow in Da Tea Village, Yu Er. " As she spoke, Qiuhe pushed open the door and walked into the school dormitory.
Yu-er's petite face was somewhat depressed, but she really stood there and watched the snow for a long time.
It was already January 2008. The moment the snow fell, the cold in Dai Village did not decrease at first. Instead, the temperature dropped by a few degrees. The doors and windows of Da Tea Village Primary School were tightly shut. The children were wearing almost all the clothes they could wear.
Everyone gathered around the fire and continued to study, unable to leave the house. Even so, they could not effectively resist the cold. Tao Huizhen and her students were still shivering in the cold. Life was very difficult. After all, the heat from burning branches and straws was limited. The empty school building was only slightly warmer than the outside.
After three days and three nights of heavy snow, Dai Village was already a vast expanse of white. Wherever his sight could reach. . . It was completely covered in snow, and even Clear Stream outside the village wore thick winter clothes. The air was filled with the smell of snow. There were many places where the snow was severe. Heavy snow also accumulated on the bamboo towers of each house. The house made creaking sounds as it was being pressed down. Before the heavy snow came, He specifically reinforced the schoolhouse at Takeuchi Primary School. Until now, Tao Huizhen and the children who were studying in the school dormitory safely. . . It was only then that they realized that Elder Li, who was full of survival experience like an eagle, In fact, he was silently guarding Da Tea Village Primary School. However, what Tao Huizhen was most worried about was the old residence of Qiuhe's family. She was afraid that it would not be able to withstand the heavy pressure brought by the continuous snowfall.
The first to suggest that they could not sit and wait for death was Elder Li. If the snow showed no signs of stopping, then they had to organize people to clear the snow. On the fourth day, some instructions were passed down from the county. Clear the snow should be placed first because the heavy snow would crush the houses and bring disaster. It should be quickly organized to clear the snow for everyone.
Therefore, under the leadership of the village elder, the task of clearing the snow in Da Tea Village was carried out in an orderly manner in the continuous snowfall.
It had already been three days since the snow stopped, and the last bit of snow finally stopped drifting down. It could be seen that the weather was slowly clearing up, and the temperature was slowly rising. At this time, the Dai village was no longer a white scene, but a scene wrapped in silver. The color between melting and not melting snow was that kind of silver.
Because of the good work of clearing snow, the heavy snowfall this time did not bring any losses or effects to Dai Village. But according to what the village elder said, He saw on TV that many places had snow falling during this period of time. The snow became the beginning of this year. People had to talk about things that had to be discussed, and they had to face difficulties. Fortunately, most of the regions were handled in time by the national disaster relief department. In addition, tens of thousands of volunteers donated resources and joined the disaster relief department. The final result was still gratifying.
The weather gradually warmed, and the ice and snow melted. Tao Huizhen and the children also walked out of the schoolhouse. The men from Dai village were still cleaning up the snow. Today was a sunny day. Some people nagged. How many years had it been since he last saw snow? This time, it would be remembered clearly in the future.
Tao Huizhen brought the children to walk in the scenery after the snow melted in Dai Village. The roof of the house was dripping with snow. Pieces of melted ice fell from the high ground. The mountain road leading to Mengla County in the distance reflected the water. The water level of the stream outside the village seemed to be higher than usual. She told the child about the big event this year. Oh, 2008. Everyone was looking forward to it. It's our country's Olympic year, It is the year when our country prepared for the International Banquet for seven years. In August.
On a sunny night, the starry sky that had been gone for a long time once again floated above people's heads. Tonight, Dai Village began a celebration of singing and dancing again. Celebrating the auspicious Snow Portent, celebrating peace and safety. Everyone had gone through a tough winter of snow and biting cold. Looking forward to a new year that would be even better. Whether it was the people from Dai Village or everyone else. The motherland. Even the world has to be okay.
Under the starry sky, under the accompaniment of others, Autumn Lotus started dancing the Peacock Dance that she had not done for a long time. Tao Huizhen felt at ease. She smiled as she watched her dance. She was still as unconventional and unconstrained as ever. It was very attractive.
A black shadow that moved quickly ran towards Qiuhe. Just as Tao Huizhen wanted to stand up to stop it, something unpleasant happened. A fourth-year student. For some reason, perhaps it was out of disgust for Qiuhe. He pushed Qiuhe to the ground. Qiuhe, who was jumping on top of her head, felt the world spinning before her eyes. Star Shift. Her whole body was in so much pain that it felt like it was going to disperse. She got up and saw the boy. Only then did she know that she had been attacked. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
Was it wrong for her to dance?
She couldn't stand it when she saw that she was happy?
Qiuhe stood in place. She was a head taller than this boy. She stared at him. The boy also looked at her stiffly. It was as if he had done something very interesting and proud, as if he was waiting for Qiuhe to cry. Qiuhe didn't cry. Qiuhe stammered at the corner of her mouth. In the end, she didn't say anything. She quickly raised a palm. Her strength was so strong that it even brought about a breeze. The boy's headscarf was gently blown. Her face became so firm, and the charm in her eyes was at this moment. It was as if a bird that was about to flap its wings and take off had a purpose. The boy was so frightened that he retreated with a "Ah!" sound. When did orphans become so powerful? Her large eyes were terrifying. Like a demon! However, Qiuhe did not do anything. She raised her hand and once again danced the Peacock Dance as if there was no one else around. . .
Qiuhe's teasing didn't make the boy angry. Not far away, he stared at Qiuhe for a long time. His eyes lit up and his expression eased up. An orphan in the village. They had a different charisma than others. Tao Huizhen silently watched all of this. She came to the little boy's side, squatted in front of him, and softly said to him: She wanted him to apologize to Qiuhe. She said that Qiuhe was not easy, and. . . Qiuhe had always liked to be with everyone. Even if. . . The students of Big Tea Village Primary School had always been full of malice towards her. That didn't make Qiuhe shrink back.
The boy's name was Ding Han, a fourth year student who had just been promoted during the school break. He was usually very mischievous at Da Tea Village Primary School. However, he still apologized to Qiuhe.
That night, Tao Huizhen organized the children to sing Friendship lasts forever.
That night, Qiuhe talked about Ah Liang for the first time. It was under Tao Huizhen's inquiry. Ah Liang was the first child of the same age in the tea village who was willing to talk to Qiu He. Even though he hated her words. A'Liang was also the first person to appreciate her Peacock Dance and agreed to accompany her. However, her relationship with Ah Liang was not friendly. They were not even considered friends. The time the two of them spent talking didn't exceed ten minutes. As for where Ah Liang went, She had nothing.
That boy seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
