bamboo drift beauty

Chapter 2 First meeting: She practiced the splits on Jiang Xinzhu
The time of the bifurcation rewinds backwards, and freezes in the summer vacation of 2016, July [-]st.

On the bus from Chishui to Honghe Town, Zhu Sheng closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Just like the past few days, that scene flashed in my mind again.

She ran in the empty dance classroom, with locked doors on one side and windows on the sixth floor on the other.

Her best friend, when "Dancing Show" was close to selection, invited her to come here and asked her to help guide a few dance moves.In the middle of the game, she went to the bathroom on the grounds of a stomachache and never came back.

She also took her mobile phone.

Zhu Sheng slapped and kicked hard, but no miracle happened.

This sad graduation season, the students are on vacation, and they are starting to work in the workplace.

And she spent half the afternoon seeing a person clearly and missed the selection competition.

Zhu Sheng returned to his hometown, on the one hand healed himself, and on the other hand, because of his uncle's phone call.

"Shengsheng, grandma went to pick bamboo fungus on the mountain yesterday, but she couldn't recognize the way. We searched for a few hours before we found it. Your father is working outside and can't come back, so I can only call you."

Zhu Sheng has danced since elementary school, and persisted despite the strong opposition of his father and the support and encouragement of his grandmother.

As he wished, he was admitted to the Dance Department of Jincheng Conservatory of Music, and received a full four-year university scholarship.

Grandma is the most important person to her.Zhu Sheng planned to take grandma to the hospital to take a good look, and then go back to Jincheng to find a job.

Zhu Sheng's family is in Honghe Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Chishui City. On both sides of Chishui City, there are high mountains and Feiliu Waterfall, which are also famous tourist attractions.

"Honghe Town is here. Passengers who get off the bus, please prepare in advance." With the loudspeaker on the bus, the bus drove into the entrance of the town, and Zhu Sheng got off with big bags and small bags.

As far as I could see, my grandmother in her 60s was still wearing old-fashioned linen clothes with indigo background and white flowers. The years had left wrinkles on her face. She leaned on a bamboo stick and smiled at Zhu Sheng.

"Grandma, I'm back." Zhu Sheng put down the package, hugged grandma, and said crisply.

Along the way, the villagers greeted her warmly.

"Zhu Sheng is back."

"The great dancer is back."

Zhu Sheng replied one by one.

Zhu Sheng's house is a traditional northern Guizhou style house with blue tiles and white walls, and it has two floors.

In the yard, more than a dozen black-bone chickens were striding vigorously and clucking. A small vegetable garden of four or four squares was separated by a bamboo fence, and bacon and pig's feet were hung to dry under the eaves.

Near the base of the wall, two very long bamboos, and a two-meter-long bamboo with rollers on the bottom, lay quietly.

"Would you like to try it?" Grandma asked with a smile.

Every year when Zhu Sheng goes home during the winter and summer vacations, he always picks up bamboos and goes to the river to practice single-bamboo drifting.

This one with pulleys, which she jokingly called "Bamboo Drift", borrowed the principle of roller skating and used it for simulated exercises.

Zhu Sheng put down the big and small bags, rubbed his hands, and placed the bamboo floats in the middle of the yard.

She stretched out her arms, kept her balance, and slowly stood up.

The bamboo float began to move forward, and the speed was increasing. Suddenly, her body swayed from side to side and tilted.The speed was faster, she couldn't restrain herself, and fell down.

"No, no, no, I won't practice hands for half a year." Zhu Sheng laughed and hugged grandma's arm.

"It's okay, just practice a few more times and you'll get used to it." Grandma encouraged her as always.

Suddenly, Zhu Sheng's little nose twitched, and his eyes sparkled, "It smells so good!"

Grandma couldn't stop smiling, and nodded her forehead affectionately, "It's really a puppy nose. I made your favorite bamboo shoots and twice-cooked pork. Just now your uncle called and will bring your cousin over for dinner."

A small square table, when the food was served, uncle Zhu Chunjiang and daughter Zhu Di arrived.

Zhu Chunjiang held a miniature wine bottle in his hand, about eight or nine centimeters high, transparent, and placed it on the table.

"Today when Shengsheng came back, I specially took out the banquet wine that I have treasured, and have a drink with Shengsheng."

Zhu Di tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and winked, "Dad, you drink for the big dancer, you deserve it, you should drink it yourself."

This wine is a specialty of Chishui.

Chishui is known as the Meijiu River. The unique geographical environment and hydrological characteristics have created the characteristics of "no impurities, slightly sweet entrance".Moutai, Langjiu, Guotai and Xijiu are all made from Chishui.

Banquet wine, expensive.

Zhu Sheng took the small wine bottle and poured it into a thumb-sized wine cup, closing his eyes to cover up his ups and downs, "Dancers are just young and ignorant, the chances of being a dance teacher are quite high .”

Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Sheng's arm and shook it, his face full of excitement, "Speaking of which, you just came back, how about the "Dancing Show" you signed up for? Will it delay the recording? My colleagues from the winery and they I’ve said it all, and I’m going to do online canvassing to cheer you up.”

Zhu Sheng rubbed his hands together, pinching his white knuckles, ""Dancing Show"...was unsuccessful. I'll come back to see grandma first, and we'll talk about work later."

Zhu Chunjiang bumped Zhu Di with his elbow. He was the one who made the call. The old lady's memory is not as good as before. He secretly hopes that Zhu Sheng will come back to take care of him, otherwise it will fall on him. Then there will be conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. .

The old lady coughed at the right time, "Let's eat first. Dancing is Shengsheng's dream since she was a child. Although she lost the election, she just has to work harder in the future."

Zhu Di sat down sullenly, and the eldest sister was born with a warm heart, "What a pity! I thought you were going to enter a certain circle in the future. But you came back just in time. Our winery will be the title sponsor of the solo bamboo drifting competition. The prize money is a full [-], and the outstanding award is [-], but unfortunately I can't. Do you want to sign up?"

"[-]?" Frankly speaking, Zhu Sheng was shocked by the amount. Grandma wanted to get medical treatment, and she was worried and shy.Xijiu Distillery is quite generous, which can be called timely help. "What's the date of the game?"

"Maybe the winery is also worried that there are too few applicants, so enough time has been reserved for this competition. The competition date is August [-]th. I will send you the registration link right now."

Very good, have more than a month to practice.

"Thousands of miles of the Chifei River, the mountains are deep, poisonous and foggy. The remote suspect drives the elephant and horse, and wants to smash Min'e. The raft flies down, and the mast pierces the angry stone. It is not just for storms to persuade Lang to cross now. This is Wu Guolun, a poet of the Ming Dynasty. Chishui is described in the poem "Chihe River". Chishui has a long history, when the Red Army crossed Chishui four times, this is the river. Now Chishui City is vigorously developing red tourism, and many tourists come here because of it."

On a cruise ship, there were seven or eight tourists standing, listening to the tour guide's explanation and taking pictures with their mobile phones.

When the boat was about to dock, they were suddenly attracted by the little girl on the shore.

The little girl was about 20 years old, she stepped on a nine-meter-long bamboo, and held a five-meter-long pole in her hand.It looks like it's ready to slide towards Jiangxin.The wind from the mountains and rivers blows away the summer heat.She has a pair of beautiful eyes like peach petals, her hair dances lightly on her sideburns, and the corner of her blue skirt is lifted, adding three points of tenderness.

So beautiful.

"Tour guide", a tourist recorded a video and couldn't help asking, "What is that?"

The tour guide explained: "This is called single bamboo floating. It is a unique folk technique in our Chishui area. It evolved from the single wooden floating in the Qin Dynasty. Later, people found that Nanzhu is better than Nanmu, so they changed the single wooden floating belt into single bamboo. Drift. The ancestors of Chishui knew it, but now, with such developed transportation, few people can cross the river with bamboo."

Tourists already have someone blowing the whistle for this brilliant stunt. "Little girl, how did you do it? Is a bamboo going to cross the river?"

Zhu Sheng raised his arms, with a pure smile on his white fat face. "I started practicing at the age of seven, and it took me three years to stand on the bamboo steadily. It has been more than ten years now."

The tourists raised their voices and asked, "Will it fall into the water?"

Zhu Sheng rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small white lotus-like arm, but if you look closely, you can find shallow scars on it. "It's a common meal."

Leaning on the cruise ship is a 25-year-old young man, with a tall figure and a pair of narrow and long Ruifeng eyes. He pinned the sunglasses on the top of his head, and pointed his slender knuckles on the screen of his mobile phone. An intangible cultural heritage stunt.

He was far more excited than he showed.

His name is Li Xiao, a native of Imperial City, a self-media director who positions himself as a "recorder of real life".

Because of his family's opposition, he packed his bags and ran away from home.This trip to the Southwest also hopes to find some inspiration.

The stunt with local characteristics performed by the little girl caught his eyes.

The distance was a bit far, so he took a short video with his mobile phone and forwarded it to the short video APP - "Shaking hands and patting".

The rest of the tourists disembarked and the trip was over.Li Xiao said to the tour guide, "I want to rent this boat, and then I can move freely."

Quickly scanned the code and paid.Li Xiao drove the cruise ship and chased after Zhu Sheng.

He wanted to find a chance to get to know each other.However, the next scene directly made his heart thump.

In the field of vision, Zhu Sheng propped up the bamboo pole and stopped in the middle of the water more than ten meters away from the river bank.

A slender girl with a soft body and a graceful body, she is a standard little dancing flower.

Slowly move the leg away, back, and kick the back leg.

Afterwards, she performed a split horse live on bamboo.

A series of basic movements of folk dance are done in one go, flowing smoothly.

Li Xiao forgot his situation and applauded.

A group of gulls startled up and flew towards the mountains.

"Plop", the sudden sound startled Zhu Sheng into the water.
