Traveling through time and space: Medical skills travel the world
Chapter 4 Ancient Village Feelings
The village is surrounded by green mountains, and the streams in the mountains flow through, bringing bursts of crisp water sounds. Chen Fang took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil and flowers and plants, as if she had traveled through time and space and returned to that ancient and simple era.
"Fang'er, come and see how beautiful the peach blossoms are!" A clear voice came from behind. Chen Fang turned around and saw that it was her good friend Xiaomei. Xiaomei was wearing a light blue dress and her smile was as bright as a spring flower. She was pointing at the peach tree in full bloom not far away.
"How beautiful!" Chen Fang walked forward. The peach tree in front of her was lush and leafy, and the pink petals swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving to her. "The flowers here are brighter than those in our place."
"Of course!" Xiaomei said proudly, "The peach blossoms in our village are well-known far and wide. Every year at this time, they attract many outsiders to come and see them."
"I heard that the village will also hold a peach blossom festival?" A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Chen Fang's eyes.
"Yes! This year's Peach Blossom Festival is coming soon, and everyone in the village is busy preparing." Xiaomei's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Fang'er, do you want to join us? We can wear our most beautiful clothes and go to the dance!"
"Great!" Chen Fang felt excited, imagining herself wearing ancient costume and dancing with Xiaomei under the peach tree.
At this time, there was a noise in the village. Chen Fang and Xiao Mei followed the sound and found that the villagers were gathering in the square, seemingly discussing something. Chen Fang approached and heard the village chief Lao Li saying loudly: "Fellow villagers, the Peach Blossom Festival is coming soon. We must make preparations to ensure that this year's festival is very lively!"
"Uncle Li, what arrangements should we make?" a middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, his voice filled with anxiety.
"We need to prepare more programs this year, especially dance and acrobatics." Village Chief Li clapped his hands, his expression serious. "In addition, the food must also be rich, so as not to disappoint the guests from outside the area!"
"I can be responsible for making cakes!" Xiaomei immediately raised her hand, "I have a lot of good ingredients at home, I can make delicious peach blossom cakes!"
"Good idea!" Village Chief Li nodded in praise. "Xiaomei, you take charge of this. Who else is willing to help her?"
"I'll help!" Chen Fang said without hesitation, her heart full of enthusiasm to participate.
"That's good. Let's all work together to make the Peach Blossom Festival more lively!" Village Chief Li's voice rang out again. The villagers expressed their support one after another, and the atmosphere was warm.
"Fang'er, you are so great!" Xiaomei excitedly pulled Chen Fang's hand, "We must make the best peach blossom cakes so that everyone will like them!"
"Of course!" Chen Fang's face was filled with smiles, and her heart was full of anticipation for the upcoming festival.
As time went by, the preparations in the village were in full swing. Chen Fang and Xiao Mei were busy at Xiao Mei's house, and the kitchen was filled with a sweet aroma. The two chatted while they were busy kneading the dough.
"Xiaomei, do you think there will be a lot of people coming to the Peach Blossom Festival this time?" Chen Fang asked curiously while kneading the dough.
"Of course there will be. Last year, many people from other places came. I heard it will be even more lively this year!" Xiaomei answered excitedly. "Also, I heard there will be a very famous singer performing!"
"Really? That's great!" Chen Fang's eyes lit up, and her heart was filled with anticipation for the unknown.
"By the way, Fang'er, can you sing?" Xiaomei suddenly asked.
"I... I know a little." Chen Fang was a little shy. She lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Then you can try to sing a song at the Peach Blossom Festival!" Xiaomei encouraged, "I'm sure everyone will like it!"
"This... I'd better give up." Chen Fang was a little hesitant. Although she was eager in her heart, she was not confident.
"It's okay, we can sing together!" Xiaomei held her hand, with a determined light in her eyes, "As long as we are together, we can do it!"
With Xiaomei's encouragement, Chen Fang gradually gained some courage and decided to give it a try. Perhaps this Peach Blossom Festival would become an unforgettable memory in her life.
The day of the Peach Blossom Festival finally arrived. The village was decorated like a poem and picturesque. Red lanterns were hung under the peach trees, and the air was filled with sweetness. The villagers wore colorful clothes and laughed and talked.
"Fang'er, are we ready?" Xiaomei asked nervously with an excited smile on her face.
"Ready!" Chen Fang nodded, feeling both nervous and expectant.
As the drums sounded, the Peach Blossom Festival officially began. Villagers took to the stage to perform one after another. The lively atmosphere made Chen Fang feel extremely excited. Finally, it was her and Xiaomei's turn to go on stage.
"Come on!" Xiaomei encouraged from the side. Chen Fang took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with firm steps.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Chen Fang's heart beat fast, but she tried to calm down and sang the familiar song with Xiaomei. As the song sounded, the cheers and applause around her gradually merged into one, as if sweeping away her nervousness.
"You sang really well!" Village Chief Li shouted loudly from the audience. Chen Fang's face broke into a bright smile and her heart was filled with confidence.
"Hello." She tried to use the ancient greeting, her voice trembling a little.
An elderly villager looked up, frowning slightly, obviously confused by her words. "Girl, what are you talking about?" he asked in fluent modern Chinese, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"I...I want to communicate with you in the ancient language." She bit her lip and continued, "I come from far away and want to understand your life."
"Ancient language?" The villagers looked at each other, obviously incredulous at her statement. "Where are you from?"
"I come from a faraway place, where people live in a different way." She tried to explain, but found that her ancient language was like silent notes in their ears, unable to convey any message.
"Can you speak Mandarin?" Xiao Li, a young villager, came over with a friendly smile on his face. His voice was gentle, as if he wanted to help her.
"Mandarin?" She was stunned, thinking to herself that it seemed that her efforts were not in vain. She tried to answer in Mandarin: "Yes, I can speak Mandarin, but I hope to communicate with you in the ancient language."
"Ancient language?" Xiao Li smiled. "You are a really strange girl. People here can only speak modern Chinese. We can't understand your ancient language."
"I understand." She felt a little disappointed. She glanced at the villagers around her and found that they were full of curiosity about her but could not understand her feelings.
“How about this, you tell me what you want to know first, and I’ll help you translate it,” Xiao Li suggested, with enthusiasm gleaming in his eyes.
"I want to know about your life, the customs of the village, and..." She hesitated and asked, "Are there any special legends?"
"Oh, there are many legends in our village!" Xiao Li said excitedly, "For example, every spring, a sacrifice is held on the mountain next to the village. Legend has it that this is to thank the mountain god for protecting us."
"Mountain God?" she asked curiously, "How do you worship him?"
"We will prepare sumptuous food, flowers, and some traditional dances." Xiao Li gestured with his hands, his face filled with love for traditional culture, "Then we will dance and sing on the top of the mountain, praying for good weather and good harvests in the coming year."
"This is so beautiful." She felt a warmth, as if she had traveled through time and space and resonated with the soul of this village.
"Do you want to join us?" Xiao Li's eyes flashed with anticipation. "If you want, we can take you along."
"Of course, I would love to experience your traditions." She nodded, feeling a surge of excitement.
At this moment, a woman nearby came over, holding a basket of fresh vegetables, and looked at her with a frown. "Why is this girl dressed so strangely? Is she from outside?"
"She came from far away and wanted to know about our lives." Xiao Li explained hurriedly.
"Far away?" The woman asked doubtfully. "Does she speak the ancient language?"
"She tried to communicate with us in ancient language, but we couldn't understand her," Xiao Li said with a smile. "But she was very interested in our lives."
"Then why doesn't she just speak Mandarin?" the woman asked puzzledly.
"Maybe she thinks it's more interesting this way." Xiao Li shrugged helplessly.
"Hmph, what's the use of ancient languages?" The woman curled her lips and continued walking away.
"Don't mind her." Xiao Li whispered, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, "Some people are just like this, they don't understand new things."
"I understand." She smiled slightly, but she felt a little lost. Despite this, she still wanted to understand everything about this village and wanted to integrate into this strange world.
"You can come with me to the village first, and I'll introduce you to other people." Xiao Li invited enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you." She said gratefully, her heart full of anticipation.
They walked together on the dirt road in the village, the sun shining on them, warm and bright. The villagers around looked at her with curiosity, although they couldn't speak the same language, she could feel their enthusiasm and friendliness.
"Everyone here has their own story," Xiao Li said as they walked. "Once you get to know them, you'll find out how wonderful this village is."
"I believe it." She responded with a smile, and secretly made up her mind to understand this ancient and beautiful village in her own way.
