how to kill a dragon

Chapter 9
Bai Lian landed steadily on the ground and walked in the front of the whole team. She raised her innocent face, smiled like a flower, raised her hands high, and beat a beat above her head, once, and then Two strokes, three strokes.

"Anti-mountain walking so ho-heh!"

"Treading on water so hehe!"

While clapping, singing, the voice was loud and high-pitched, as if a piece of refreshing mint leaves had been stuffed into the mind of a drowsy person, and he was unconsciously cheered up.

"The moon bends and shines on my heart, and the sun follows me, hehe!"

"One two three that ho he! Light me up so ho he!"

This chant is simple and cheerful, and the clear singing is like the morning mountain breeze, sweeping away the dull night.

The miners with bowed backs and big baskets on their backs couldn't help adjusting their steps to Bai Lian's tune, following her tune.

The chaotic brain gradually regained consciousness, and the sound of footsteps gradually became consistent. I don't know where the strength came from, and I was able to "hehe" along with Bailian's tune.

Their backs gradually straightened, and their steps became faster and faster.

The boulders in the baskets on their backs seemed not to be pressing on their bodies, and they unknowingly accelerated their pace step by step.

Bai Lian's tune was simple and repetitive, and it was quickly imprinted in everyone's minds. After a simple 'hey', they were able to sing the whole song within a few times.

"It's not windy so ho-hey! It's not raining so ho-hey!"

"The breeze and the bright moon will take me home, it's so effortless tonight so hehe! The time is so good so hehe!"

Wang Xiaotai watched all this happen in disbelief.

In the rising morning light, a team of miners with heavy burdens walked forward quickly.

In front of them, a girl in white is swinging her arms and body, following the miners. No, she is not following the miners, but she is leading the miners forward.

There was a strange rhythm to their steps.

Wang Xiaotai followed behind them, and couldn't help but sing and dance to Bailian's tune, and followed Bailian forward.

Her movements were clumsier than those of the miners, but she followed them firmly without stopping.

Seeing that the resting place of the miners was just ahead, Bai Lian's voice became more and more high-pitched.

The mixed voices of male and female voices became louder and louder, and the tiredness of the night seemed to dissipate with this brisk and joyful singing.

Many people got out of the dark and steep houses at the bottom of the valley, watching this unprecedented scene.

They rubbed their sleepy eyes and saw that the miners who had worked all night did not lie on the ground as usual, but were standing, singing and dancing...
jumping?

Where did they get the strength to jump?

Some people couldn't help but sang along with them, and some couldn't help but sway to the chant.

Amid all the jubilation, the miners finally reached the bottom of the valley and unloaded their ores.

Bai Lian stopped singing, quickened her pace and continued to run forward, leaving the team of miners.

The chant of the miners behind them has not stopped, and many people are still swinging their bodies around the unloaded ore, dancing a simple dance.

"Anti-mountain walking so ho-heh!"

"Treading on water so hehe!"

"The moon bends and shines on my heart, and the sun follows me, hehe!"

"One two three that ho he! Light me up so ho he!"

Accompanied by the wafting voice, Bai Lian took Wang Xiaotai's hand and ran on the mountain road in bright morning light.

The faces of Bai Lian and Wang Xiaotai were stained with soot, and they looked at each other's dirty cheeks, looked at each other, and laughed loudly, their joy was beyond words.

"This is me, the first time I see you smiling, hahahahahaha!"

Bai Lian stretched out her hand, untied her sleeve, wiped off the soot on Wang Xiaotai's face with the clean sleeve, and said with a smile.

Wang Xiaotai has been following behind the team, and she is also sweating profusely at the moment, "I am so happy after listening to this song, sister, where did you learn it? It's amazing!"

Wang Xiaotai had never seen such a scene.

Bai Lian took Wang Xiaotai back to the tent to wash and change clothes, Bai Lian recalled, "A long time ago, when I was still learning divine dance in the temple, everyone praised me for my soft muscles and bones, and I was born to dance. "

"I am actually very proud of myself. As long as I have seen any dance once, I will be able to dance it exactly the same, and I can adjust it to a level of difficulty that others cannot achieve."

Bai Lian stuck out her tongue and said with a playful smile, "At that time, I was very young, jealous, and wanted to do my best in everything, and the nuns around me were always praising me, so I felt that I was unique in the world. people."

"Until one day, I was dancing in the temple as usual. Everyone applauded and applauded my dance, but one person said that my dance was just a flattering dance."

Bai Lian still remembers that person dressed as a Confucian scholar looked at her with disdain and said, what kind of dancer are you the best in the world?
People are not applauding for you, but for the Empress Dowager, for the temple, for the priestly robe and gorgeous dance costume you wear, people come to see her dance, not for the dance itself, but to worship the gods, Admire the delicate face and gorgeous dress.

Bai Lian refused to accept it, people came to see the graceful dance for the sake of her fame, how could it be said that they didn't come to see her?
The Confucian scholar said that if a different person dances here today, wearing the same clothes and makeup, people will still come to see them. They didn’t come here for Bailian. will applaud.

Bai Lian didn't believe it, so at night, she put on a monkey mask to cover her face, took off all the gorgeous jewelry, took off the exquisite priest's robe, and put on the roughest and most ordinary coarse linen clothes.

Alone in the middle of the bustling city where people come and go, he raised his arms, danced his body, and danced the dance he had danced during the day.

She wants to prove that her dancing is far from useless.

Sighing, Bai Lian was a little emotional, "Obviously in the morning, I won the applause from all the halls. People watched me dance like crazy. They publicized my reputation, painted me, wrote poems, and said that I She is the number one dancer in the world in the future, and she can go down in history as famous as Gongsun Da Niang who dances the sword."

"But when I took off all the halos and stood in the crowd dancing for them wearing a monkey mask, they actually thought I was moving too much and blocked their way."

"No one cheered for me, no one stopped for me, and no one appreciated my dance. I stood there like a madman."

"I felt like my body was sliced ​​open with disdainful eyes from people passing by."

That should be the most embarrassing moment in Bai Lian's life. She stopped her dancing steps that never stopped, and stood in the middle of the crowd in a daze, watching people come and go, but no one paid any attention to her.

Even small vendors who breathe fire and make dough figurines on the street have people stopping to buy things, and beggars in ragged clothes who are dying lying on the ground can still get people's eyes and pity.

But the legendary number one dancer in the world stood there dancing, but no one stopped to appreciate it.

"In the end, there was only one person applauding for me, that is, the beggar who was begging beside me. He also told me that the business here is not very good. If you want to perform, you have to go to the front of the restaurant."

Bai Lian recalled this scene with a smile. Although the beggar regarded her as a busker, she was not angry, and just gave him all the valuable things on her body.

"What the Confucian scholar said is actually true."

"Since then, I don't like too gorgeous clothes when I dance. Apart from the divine dance in the temple, I will also wear that monkey mask to practice dancing outside."

"They all said I was crazy, and my mother also persuaded me that my dance was perfect and I didn't need the affirmation of those outsiders, but I knew that at that time, I was just a frog at the bottom of a well, and I couldn't see the outside world."

"The Confucian scholar heard about me and brought me an anonymous book, which only recorded these simple dance steps."

"He said that real dance is never for people to appreciate. You have to go to the crowd to dance, bring everyone together, and play an encouraging role. That is the real dance."

Just now she saw that the group of miners were sluggish and tottering. They were obviously extremely exhausted and couldn't hold on any longer. If they fell down, they would definitely be injured or even killed by the stones on their bodies.

Bai Lian was anxious in her heart, she wanted to cheer them up, she wanted to make them stand up, these dance steps just appeared suddenly, she didn't expect it to be really effective.

Watching the sun rise and the sky light up, Bai Lian couldn't help laughing, this dance, this song is really fun.

Dancer, Wu Ye, the very first dance was originally for inspiring people!
Go to the crowd, encourage and dance, dance for everyone to see, this is the real dance!
