Nan Feng laughed again: “It’s not that I’m being difficult.
I just really don’t know how to sing.”
Aqiu was getting a little impatient: “You just need to harmonise with us.
The main singing will be done by me, Zhou Dongdong, and a few other girls.”
Nan Feng asked again, “Are there really no other people to choose from?”
“Aren’t you deliberately causing trouble?
If I could find someone else, would I bother asking you?” Aqiu rolled her eyes at Nan Feng: “The rules of the mountain songs only allow unmarried women.
Those who sang with us last year have all married and moved to other villages.
The remaining girls are too young.
So, we had no other choice but to ask you.
You need to do this, whether you want to or not.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll do it,” Nan Feng laughed with a good-natured smile.
She never liked to make things difficult for others, nor did she like to show off.
Aqiu said, “Good, it’s decided then.
Starting from tomorrow, we’ll practice songs by the river every evening.
You must show up.
If you don’t, we’ll complain to the village chief.
You would be punished for tarnishing the reputation of Daping Village.”
“Fine!” Nan Feng agreed cheerfully.
…
Nan Feng was always punctual and definitely wouldn’t be late.
Not only was she never late, but she was also always the first one to arrive.
People in the area had a habit of singing mountain songs — humming a few lines while farming, cleaving wood on the mountains, and even first thing in the morning to warm up their throats.
However, Nan Quanyou had been having a tough time in the past and hadn’t taught Nan Feng any mountain songs, so she didn’t know how to sing at all.
But now Nan Feng learned with dedication.
“As the sun slips behind, the mountains,
Resting, oh, in the orange tree,
As the moon strolls into, the village,
Settling, oh, on the rooftop,
The cooking smoke whispers,
The tales of the mountain folk,
The sound of the waves articulates,
The vicissitudes of time, the cooking smoke whispers.”
Nan Feng carefully remembered the lyrics and melody one by one.
She had previously learned body training and the art of seducing men at the Special Agent School but she had never truly learned how to sing.
Moreover, the tongue-twisting ancient mountain songs required her to practice more.
In the Daping Village women’s mountain song group, Aqiu and Zhou Dongdong were like the lead singers, while others sang the accompaniment.
However, if girls from neighboring villages came to challenge, everyone had to find a way to respond.
The scene was similar to what she had seen in the story of Liu Sanjie.
When the other party sings, “Hey…
What’s tumbling across the water, holly there, what’s rising high above the water, holly there?”
The singers from the home village had to respond swiftly, “Ducks tumble across the water, holly there, big boats rise high above the water…”
The responses needed to be extremely fast.
Zhou Dongdong and Aqiu were thinking of many challenging topics while also encouraging the girls from their village to muster the courage to confront them.
A significant point being; if they performed well, they stood a good chance of catching the eye of the single young men watching.
If several families decided to propose marriage together, not only would they not worry about getting married, but they could also choose a desirable husband. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Nan Feng not only studied the songs earnestly but also occasionally provided Aqiu and the others with some ideas, like how to catch the girls from the neighboring village off guard.
Over a few days, she gradually gained their approval.
Aqiu and the others were initially just thinking of making up the numbers with Nan Feng.
But having witnessed her dedication, they slowly started warming up to her.
When Nan Feng was practicing singing, she gave everything she got, just like when she was preparing the fertilizer by the river.
That level of dedication in a student, who wouldn’t like it?
Moreover, Nan Feng has often sent something to Aqiu’s house in the past, so Aqiu occasionally took the time to teach Nan Feng something additional.
Aqiu started to call Nan Feng “Wind Girl”.
She said, “Wind Girl, when singing ‘The cooking smoke whispers’, you have to sing it like this…”
