Chapter 258: Chapter 160: Baby Fish Go Up_2

Li Xiaopeng was also very invested and happy, after all, he had drunk quite a bit of the local liquor, and now he was singing, truly feeling a bit deliriously ecstatic.

While he was singing, Yue’er, who had just gone to the restroom, also came back.

When she saw Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng in the center of the bonfire, and Li Xiaopeng was singing, her expression changed, and she quickly walked over to pull Lin Yang aside.

"Brother Yang, what’s going on? How did Xiao Peng start singing?"

Lin Yang explained to her the whole story.

After listening, Yue’er couldn’t help but say somewhat speechlessly, "If only I had told you earlier, this song is not just something you can sing casually."

"What do you mean?"

"Today’s festival is very special for the Bouyei ethnic group. For all the unmarried young men and women, this day is an important one for confirming affections. If a girl takes a liking to a guy, she will sing to him and invite him to respond. Once the guy responds to the singing, it’s equivalent to agreeing."

"Ah?"

Lin Yang was also stunned, "You mean, Li Xiaopeng has, in effect, accepted the other party’s courtship?"

"Yes, this misunderstanding has really escalated."

Just as the two of them were getting a bit anxious, Li Xiaopeng had finished singing his love song over there.

Lin Yang and Yue’er were about to go over and explain the situation to him.

Suddenly, a group of young men and women crowded around Li Xiaopeng and the girl he had been singing with, encircling them and leading them straight towards the village.

Seeing this, Lin Yang couldn’t help but ask, "Yue’er, what does this mean? Why are they going back to the village? It can’t be that they’re being sent to the bridal chamber, right?"

"I don’t know about that..."

Li Xiaopeng was escorted back to the village with that girl, and the two of them were directly led into a courtyard.

At the entrance of the yard, everyone’s footsteps halted, but the girl took Li Xiaopeng’s hand and went straight into the courtyard.

Li Xiaopeng didn’t know if it was the alcohol or something else, but he went straight into the house with the girl.

The crowd outside the courtyard had a lively time for a while, and then dispersed, returning to the bonfire to continue their bonfire party and festival celebrations, while Lin Yang and Yue’er went from being dumbfounded at first to feeling somewhat speechless now.

"That kid actually followed the girl into her house."

"Uh, he drank so much, he didn’t actually do something rash, did he?"

Lin Yang shook his head, "He wouldn’t. From what I know about him, he’s not that casual. I’m just a bit worried that the girl will be heartbroken after finding out it was a misunderstanding."

Yue’er thought for a moment and then shook her head, "That shouldn’t be the case. The girls from the Bouyei ethnic group are different from those outside; you can tell from how they dare to initiate singing to the boys they like. They are brave and straightforward, they dare to love and hate, and won’t take such things to heart."

"That’s good, then. Let’s wait for him to figure out what’s going on and quickly clear things up with the others."

No longer worried about Li Xiaopeng, Lin Yang and Yue’er returned to the bonfire and rejoined the festivities.

After the singing, everyone began the next event: Water Splashing Festival.

Everyone, whether they knew each other or not, was free to splash water on each other, and those who got splashed didn’t mind at all; instead, they burst into laughter because the water symbolized good fortune and blessings.

In the midst of the lively water-splashing, the entire village turned into a sea of joy.

It wasn’t until very late that Lin Yang and Yue’er returned to their residence in the village.

When he got back to his place, he found that Li Xiaopeng had returned at some point and was sitting at the doorstep with his head down, palms pressed against his forehead, looking very remorseful.

"You, when did you get back? You didn’t actually do anything inappropriate, did you?" Lin Yang walked over and asked.

"No, I didn’t do anything! I realized something was wrong and ran back here!" Li Xiaopeng quickly said.

"So what are you doing now?"

"I’m just worried...."

Seeing the conflicted look on his face, Lin Yang knew what he was worried about, so he relayed what Yue’er had told him earlier, "Don’t worry, the girls of the Bouyei ethnic group dare to love and hate, they won’t take this kind of thing to heart."

Such matters were obviously not to be taken too seriously; affairs of the heart were a serious business and couldn’t possibly be handled so rashly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaopeng seemed to find some sense in it, and the weight on his heart appeared to lift.

It was getting late, and the two of them soon went back to their rooms to rest.

....

The next morning, Lin Yang got up very early, awakening amidst the chirping of birds and the scent of flowers, and opened the window to a breath of fresh air.

The view from the window in this mountain village was scenic, making it very comfortable.

The three of them ate breakfast in the village and then, after a brief packing, continued on their fishing trip.

Today was their last day, and they were heading to a place called Changning County, near Kunming City.

The reason why Changning is named so is because of its historically unique geographical location; the area was often disturbed by wars and attacked by foreign tribes, hence the name was given in the hope of enjoying lasting peace and tranquility.

The area is filled with majestic mountains and numerous rivers and lakes scattered like stars.

The Nu River and Yarlung Zangbo River, two massive rivers, flow past this place, one to the left and one to the right. Between the two rivers, there are countless tributaries and underground streams creating a network, forming an extensive natural water system.

This region can be said to be one of the areas with the richest freshwater resources in the country, and understandably, the variety of fish here is vast, with all sorts of peculiar fish that might be found here.

Lin Yang and his companions drove deep into the mountains.
