"You said that you wanted me to accompany you to the Horse Racing Festival, but you didn't say that you wanted me to help you fend off the pursuers of others!" Hua Kai saw that his barbecued meat had been taken away, so he got up and cut another plate for himself.
"Then you don't like me?
Aren't you afraid that I will be snatched away by others? "
Wuren Tuya only felt that something was wrong after she finished speaking. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. This was the first time she had spoken such heartfelt words to Hua Kai.
Waiting for Hua Kai's reply, Wuren Tuya was a little worried. However, Hua Kai only cared about eating the barbecued meat on his plate.
Hua Kai felt Wuren Tuya pulling his arm into her embrace. She leaned on his shoulder and stared at the sunset in the sky. He knew what she was thinking, but both of them had their own responsibilities on their shoulders. Neither of them could put it down.
The men and women who were staring at Hua Kai and Wuren Tuya from afar were surprised to see the intimacy between the two. It seemed that they had no chance this time. They felt that Hua Kai was the son-in-law chosen by Ujimuqin for Wuren Tuya. Princess Wuren Tuya's partner might have been decided at the start of the Horse Racing Festival.
Hua Kai and Wuren Tuya looked at the sunset in the sky together. He felt Wuren Tuya's heartbeat and knew that the girl in front of him had feelings for him. However, Hua Kai knew that he did not belong to the Great Moon Kingdom.
In the center of the Horse Racing Festival, there were pairs of young men and women sitting on the carpet. If they did not find a suitable partner, they would get up and walk around the bonfire. If they found a suitable partner, they would invite them to have dinner together.
Wuren Tuya leaned on Hua Kai's shoulder and held Hua Kai's hand with her left hand. She looked at Hua Kai quietly looking at the sky and slowly moved her head to Hua Kai's ear. "Accompany me for three days, okay?"
Hua Kai heard Wuren Tuya's voice trembling. Both of them knew that the other party could not bear to part with her family.
"Okay!" This time, Hua Kai replied.
"Then I want to drink Spirit Wine. After drinking your Spirit Wine, I don't want to drink any other wine!" Wurentua rubbed her eyes and said to Hua Kai.
"When the Horse Racing Festival is over, I'll leave some for you!" Hua Kai said. He took out the [Treasured Light Glass Bottle] and poured a cup for him and Wuren Tuya.
As time passed, night gradually came. Couples held hands by the bonfire and sang grassland songs. They danced around the bonfire. When Wuren Tuya saw this, she pulled Hua Kai to join in.
The joyous laughter was always short-lived. Soon, the old man in charge of the horse racing festival came over. He reminded everyone that it was time to end the party and that they would meet again the next day.
All the men and women politely bid farewell to each other. Today was the first time they had met each other. As for how they felt about each other, that would depend on tomorrow.
At night, Hua Kai lay on the blanket. His heart was filled with the sound of Wuren Tuya crying in his ear. He knew that a large part of the reason was because of Wuren Tuya's talent. It would be strange if one could live comfortably when the beloved of heaven and earth cried for you.
When he woke up the next day, the weather outside the tent was still sunny. Hua Kai ate breakfast early and went to the spectator stand with all the excited boys. Many people who were good at singing planned to use their singing to move the girl they liked today.
When they came to the platform, they saw that there were even more spectators outside the horse racing field than yesterday.
Everyone cleared their throats. Today was the most important day for the blind dates. Even if they were standing at the back, there were many men who used their singing to move the girls.
The girls came later than the boys. Today, many of them had put on makeup and were wearing festive robes, which made them look exceptionally eye-catching.
When the last girl came to the stage, the spectators outside the field suddenly became silent. Everyone was focused on waiting for the singing competition to begin.
At this moment, a mellow singing voice drifted over like a spring breeze. A seed of spring seemed to have been planted in everyone's hearts. It began to slowly grow and sprout, gathering the power of spring.
This singing voice was like a lively little bird that flew past everyone's hearts, leaving behind an indelible figure. Everyone was immersed in this beautiful singing voice. Hua Kai looked at the beautiful figure in the distance and could not help but sigh. Wuren Tuya was called the most dazzling pearl of the grassland. This was not an exaggeration at all.
After Wuren Tuya finished singing, all the girls started singing together. More than 200 girls sang the most ancient ballad on the grassland, singing about their yearning for the beautiful love in their hearts. All the boys felt their hearts burn. Hua Kai had never thought that the girls' singing together could be so pleasant. He even felt that the entire world was being affected by this ancient ballad. He could not help but think of the grassland's most primitive tribes surviving and reproducing here!
Finding the person they liked was the most important task of the grassland's ruling class. The boys' emotions were slowly being affected. When all the girls finished singing, Hua Kai knew that it was time for him to go on stage!
As the first in the men's team, he was naturally the leader of the men's team today.
Galloping horses galloped on the endless grassland
Looking at the eagle in the sky, I miss the girl in the distance
…
Hua Kai's voice was pure and melodious. He sang the long part very well, not at all inferior to Wuren Tuya's singing. This part was also a song that had to be sung at the opening. Hua Kai had learned it well from Wuren Tuya.
After Hua Kai finished singing, he sang along with all the boys. At the beginning, everyone sang about their beautiful future. Then, it turned into a happy and relaxed tune. When everyone finished singing, Wuren Tuya sang another long line.
All the boys sang back together. Their voices were neat and full of vitality.
Hua Kai continued to sing, and the girls on the other side all sang back.
This was actually a traditional testing method. When a person sang, the song they sang represented the requirements of their goal. Hua Kai had learned dozens of songs from Wuren Tuya. Everyone sang a part of these songs.
After Hua Kai finished singing, Girl No.2 started singing. This time, half of the boys did not sing back. This showed that many people were not interested in Girl No.2.
When Boy No.2 sang, the girls on the other side also only responded. The number of responses represented a person's popularity. It also told you which people were not interested in you. In the future, you had to be careful when choosing.
Hua Kai and Wuren Tuya only sang the beginning and did not say anything. Both of them were in the first position. This was not good. Standing at the front affected the overall effect of the song.
The more the song was passed, the fewer people responded. After more than 20 people, a man sang, but the other party did not respond. This song was over!
The man stopped here, and the girls continued. Wuren Tuya sang first, and all the boys sang back. Hua Kai sang along, and the girls sang back.
According to this order, if someone sang and no one responded, then he did not have the right to continue singing. He only had the right to sing back.
From this, one could see how popular a person was. Many male and female singers chose their goal and began to gradually reduce the number of people who sang. In the end, except for the top ten people, there were no more than 100 people who responded. Occasionally, those who got stuck would start again. One person was eliminated in two minutes. The speed was actually very fast.
In the end, after more than two hours, the men had eliminated more than 80 people. None of the girls had been eliminated. Those who were eliminated could not be considered a failure in this Horse Racing Festival. They could still woo the girl they liked tomorrow, but they had lost the opportunity to perform tomorrow.
Every year, only the top ten men could guarantee not to be eliminated. It was rare for a girl to sing without a man, unless she was ugly!
After two hours of singing, some people who felt that their goal was confirmed did not sing solo. This way, the singing speed was much faster.
Hua Kai stood in the stands silently, like a mascot. The boys sang from time to time, but there was no response. Sometimes, no one was willing to lead, and the next person would continue.
Finally, when the last boy finished singing, the other party did not respond for a long time. This time, it was Hua Kai's turn to sing. After one round, more than half of the boys were eliminated. However, this was only the first round. Today's singing would last for the whole day!
When Hua Kai sang, only half of the men responded. When Wurentu Ya sang, all the men responded. This continued until the last man finished singing, but the song did not stop. The remaining girls started singing one after another. Basically, they were able to get a response from the men.
When the last girl's song was answered by several men, the morning duet was basically over. In the afternoon, it was time to showcase their individual singing skills. Those who were not eliminated would have the opportunity to showcase their talents, which would have a great impact on the final selection tomorrow.
The people of the grassland liked to see young men and women singing together. From each person's singing, everyone could hear each other's state and desire.
Sometimes, when someone sang, there would be a burst of responses outside the horse racing field. Everyone commented on the strengths and weaknesses of each man and woman who sang on the stage.
In the afternoon, the venue of the event changed again to the place of the bonfire party last night. At this time, everyone knew who was interested in them and who they could fight for.
When they met, they also exchanged ideas. Men and women sat in a big circle in two rows. The front row was for the last performance in the morning, and the back row was for the audience!
Wuren Tuya still chose to sit beside Hua Kai. At this time, everyone knew the relationship between the two. It was almost the same as the first place of the male and female who chose to be together. In the past, the ratio of the first place of the male and female who chose to be together was very high.
Everyone sat down. Wuren Tuya was the first to go on stage. She took a Huqin from the back and came to the center to play. Everyone listened quietly.
This was a new tune. It sang about the yearning for a better life in the grassland. It might have been specially composed by the Ujimqin tribe for her. As the princess of the largest tribe in the Great Moon Kingdom, many things about her participation in the horse racing festival were actually arranged early on.
After Wuren Tuya finished playing, everyone gave her a warm applause. She got up and returned to Hua Kai's side. Hua Kai chose a song called "Hello, Grassland." This was a grassland song that he liked more in his previous life. The instrument he used was the Huqin. This kind of instrument that could play multiple ranges could better express the unique beauty of the grassland.
No one would have thought that Hua Kai could play the Huqin, one of the most difficult instruments in the grassland. Moreover, the charm of his singing was no worse than Wuren Tuya's. Everyone could not help but look at the happy Wuren Tuya. In their hearts, they felt that he and Wuren Tuya were the most suitable.
