To go up the mountain of knives

  Xue Er smiled and thought of their wedding again.

  Xue Er's wedding in the mountain village was very grand. The king of the village not only invited all the villagers, but also invited the leaders of the school district and the township.

  Xue Er is a bride, but she isn't marrying out; instead, she's the one being courted, so the mountain village's send-off ceremony became a welcoming ceremony.

  Zhai Wangwang sent wine and meat to Zheng Shuang's parents' home on the eve of their wedding, as per the conditions set by Zheng Shuang's parents.

  The next morning, the village chief arranged for the best chef in the village and several diligent villagers to come to Zheng Shuang's home. They made the wine and meat sent over the night before into a delicious dish, and invited Zheng Shuang's parents to entertain the groom's relatives and friends.

  After having breakfast, Zheng Shuang, dressed up freshly, is ready to enter the mountain with several friends chosen by the man's side.

  Zheng Shuang's side is sending off the bride, while Xue Er's side is naturally welcoming the bride. The people King Wang sent to welcome the bride are all women. The send-off procession has drummers and trumpeters.

  The team came to the mountain stronghold with a lively and festive atmosphere. When Zheng Shuang entered the village, she had to climb a knife-sharp mountain at the entrance of the village.

  Walking on the blade of a knife is walking barefoot on the back of nine knives, and then crossing the sea of fire, that is jumping over nine piles of fire, ninety-nine returns to one, representing Zheng Shuang's wholeheartedness towards Xue Er.

  Arrived at Xue Er's home, the wedding band had already been waiting in front of the door. Next to the band was a cheerleading squad consisting of men and women of all ages.

  Suona is blowing, firecrackers are going off, and the cheerleaders' slogans have started. The send-off and welcoming teams merged together, with the sounds of gongs, drums, suonas, and cheers all mixed together, what a lively scene! Xue'er led Zheng Shuang out the door to meet the "bride" and the guests who came to see her off at the "groom's" home.

  Then, treat all guests with delicious food.

  After lunch, the sending-off party returned. On their way back, the suona troupe from the welcoming side saw them off at the mountain village entrance. The guests on Xue Er's side stayed for dinner. After getting drunk and full, Zheng Shuang and Xue Er began their wedding ceremony.

  After entering the bridal chamber, they make merry in the bridal chamber. The most impressive program of making merry in the bridal chamber is biting sugar on a bench.

  The sugar is a kind of sesame sugar made by ourselves in the village, fragrant and sweet, easy to melt.

  A host is selected for the naodongfang. The host holds a stick with a thin thread tied to it, and a grain of sugar is tied to the thread. The rule is that the bride and groom must eat the sugar together.

  The host waves the sugarcane over the groom's and bride's heads and in front of their mouths, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes left, sometimes right. The groom and bride are often exhausted but still can't meet the requirements.

  Xue Er and Zheng Shuang were also like the newlyweds of the past, they chased after the sugarcane, being shaken back and forth on the bench.

  Xue Er has seen many newlywed couples biting sugar, making a lot of jokes. Some brides bit the groom's tongue, some grooms bit the bride's tongue, and others, in their haste to follow the sugar, turned their heads, while the other person didn't withdraw their previous action in time, biting the sugar and biting the other person's ear.

  The groom and bride didn't reach a tacit understanding, so the sugar was often used as a prop for everyone's amusement.

  Xue Er is such an intelligent woman!

  She had discussed it with Zheng Shuang beforehand, wanting to make everyone laugh and create a lively atmosphere, while also coming up with new tricks to impress everyone. They agreed that in the end, they would strike a stunning pose, get everyone to applaud, and get everyone excited, like a director controlling the entire drama, making the young men and women envy them to no end.

  Leaving everyone with beautiful memories while pushing the custom of disturbing the bridal chamber to a elegant and warm ending, so that there won't be any embarrassing scenes at last.

  The wedding proceeded according to Xue Er's predicted program. The swinging of the censer, Xue Er and Zheng Shuang's pursuit of the censer set off one small stir after another.

  After several small heights appeared, Xue Er saw that everyone's expectations began to decline. At this time, Xue Er said: "I will set up a 'heart bridge' with Zheng Shuang for everyone to see. This 'heart bridge' implies that the two are heart-to-heart, dependent on each other, and love forever."

  Host, pay attention! After the 'Mind Bridge' comes out, it's up to you. See if your sugar cube can be placed in the middle of the bridge and then roll on the bridge, making it melt! This is a technical move!"

  Everyone listened and immediately shouted: "What is 'Mind Bridge'? Hurry up!"

  Xue Er and Zheng Shuang hugged each other, Xue Er first stuck out her tongue, Zheng Shuang followed suit and put the tip of her tongue on the tip of Xue Er's tongue.

  Everyone shouted: "Good! Good! Too good!"

  Dong Mao's voice grew louder: "Two tongues are better than one! Great! Host, quickly put the sugar in the middle of the tongue and roll it from this lip to that lip..."

  "Hurry up! Get it right...!" The crowd's teasing voices still drowned out Dongmao's voice.

  Xue Er is really something! In the blink of an eye, she turned the difficult questions for the bride and groom into a test for the host.

  "Put the sugar in the middle of your tongue! Get it right!" Everyone started shouting at the host.
