Chapter Twenty-Eight: Counting is Counting

Chen Tianyu said that he would do it, and early the next morning, he called back to the middle-aged woman by the lake, Yiruo's sigh, claiming that he would follow the rules of the Mosuo tribe and walk into Yiruo's family in a dignified manner, and at least go to Yiruo's house to sit down. The other party was stunned for a moment, and the old man said that she would try her best to arrange and let him wait patiently for news.

In Chen Tianyu's plan, as long as he openly walks into Yiruo Kucker's family, he can block most of the suitors for Yiruo in the short term, and he can also completely divert the attention of the gathering. The most important thing is that he would like to take the opportunity to find out that Yiruo's role in the whole thing is just a victim, or is there something else?

In his superficial understanding, the Mosuo girls should not be so affectionate, especially to a prodigal son who is not of his own nationality and wanders around, how could he be so desperate? At the beginning, he attributed it to the changes of the times, the changes in the girls' ideological concepts, and perhaps a few deviant people.

But after the head-on contact, in addition to self-pity and resentment, where does the delicate Yidi Kucker look like a fighter who dares to break through tradition and change the mode of love? What is reasonable anywhere obviously does not work in Lugu Lake, and there is no need to do so.

Chen Tianyu has several speculations:

The first is that Iroh Kucker is indeed in love with Xiao Su, and the love is deep and inextricable, and the possibility of the mountains and seas are rotten, and this possibility is actually very small;

The second is that Xiao Su is indeed a bad PUA, and it is a high-level PUA, he has successfully brainwashed Yiruo, and is gradually implementing a follow-up plan to lay new traps, although the girls of the Mosuo tribe have different concepts, but they are still women after all, and have the same female weaknesses;

The third is that Iroh Kucker is controlled by some mysterious force, just as a chess piece, brewing some kind of conspiracy, he even thinks that Chiya Ryoko is also part of this force, he is a detective of Beiting, there will definitely be no such thing as emotion, exposing her identity is only the first step, does Chiya Ryoko really want to use Yroh Kucker to wipe out the bad PUA group?

The fourth is that everyone is involved in a sophisticated conspiracy, including herself and Zichen, Chiya Ryoko is a ninja, she was born to carry out a top-secret mission, what is her mission? It must not be as simple as she said - for justice, for the sake of injustice, it would be hellish to believe her!

Fifth, it is an assumption that the Mosuo people value commitment over form, and that marriage can be determined verbally, and what secrets cannot be kept? Xiao Su may have taken a fancy to this, or was touched by this spirit of promise, so he kept a very important, even life-threatening object, in the hands of Iroh Kucker...... He got that inspiration from that USB stick.

Judging from Chen Tianyu's current impression of Xiao Su as a person, all five are possible! In this foggy environment, his greatest weight and confidence is his many contacts with Xiao Su and careful observation before.

Therefore, the current situation is that, in addition to the first possibility, it is necessary for Chen Tianyu to have in-depth contact with Elo Kucker, and it needs a certain amount of privacy, so it is imperative to "get married".

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire is the soul of the Mosuo people, and it is also the foundation of the Mosuo people's survival and sustenance, the Mosuo people were born by the fire pond, lived by the fire pond, and finally left this world by the fire pond, so the fire pond is all in life for the Mosuo people.

The inheritance of the fire pond is passed down from generation to generation by the maternal line of the family, the woman will give birth to the child by the fire pond to bring the continuation of the ethnic group, and the family's meals are also taken care of by the woman by the fire pond, and finally the woman will choose to die by the fire pond. The fire pond brings both light and hope and warmth to the Mosuo people, so the Mosuo people regard fire as a god in their hearts.

Chen Tianyu didn't expect that Yiruo's sigh would invite him to dinner at home the next day, so when he happily went to the appointment, he walked into the historic grandmother's house, not the fresh and foreign flower building.

Although the grandmother's house and the flower house are made of thick logs, which are solid and thick, the degree of newness and oldness is obvious at a glance. The grandmother's house is inhabited by the elderly and children all the year round, and the flower building belongs to the girl to be married.

He was full of curiosity, but he paid special attention to the arrangement of the flower building, and saw that the eaves of the house were neatly hung with a row of colorful flags painted with runes, and the most striking thing was the two windows hanging in mid-air, which were about the width of one person to enter and exit, and the curtains were also extremely gorgeous.

Looking at the height of the design, ordinary people may not be able to climb up, of course, this is not a problem for him, thinking of this, he can't help but smile in his heart, ashamed of his disgrace.

Due to his ignorance of Mosuo culture, Chen Tianyu is inevitably a little restrained, especially for different nationalities, and he is really afraid that there will be rudeness in words and deeds, but fortunately, the family is hospitable and smiling, and repeatedly tells him that there are no rules, just a light meal.

After entering the gate, there is a second door, which naturally surrounds the whole house, and at the back is the feed warehouse and the barn, as well as the pens for pigs, cattle and horses.

Alas, Mi led Chen Tianyu into his grandmother's house.

The light in the house is very dim, Chen Tianyu can vaguely see that the space in the house is very large, the roof is very high, the Mosuo family is all living in such a house, the fire pit, dining room, bedroom, living room are all in one space, this is really a peculiar ethnic group.

The first thing you see when you enter the door is the neat and clean upper fire pit, which is specially used by the Mosuo people to entertain guests.

And there is also a simple fire pit in the corner, which is probably cooked by the Mosuo people themselves

Such a dark room, such a simple furnishings, but it made Chen Tianyu's eyes slightly wet, he remembered the days when he lived in seclusion in the mountain village, isn't it the same reason: because it is simple, so happy!

If you didn't show up, you may have lived separately from Ala Mi, and usually hid in a flower building not far away. This surprised him a little, could it be that there were still some parental orders, matchmakers' words, or customs that had been assimilated?

Yiruo's sigh disappeared suddenly, and I don't know if there is still a hidden secret passage in my grandmother's house, or what's going on. Soon, however, she reappeared in the house, her smile more gentle and amiable.

Chen Tianyu estimated and touched it, and probably guessed that she had already seen Yiruo.

It was the first time he had seen such a cleverly designed building.

In this way, I have a bottom in my heart, after all, there is the first conversation that is not very in-depth, and Qianya Ryoko threads the needle from it, so I should have a rough understanding of his intention.

"We're pretty casual here. Yiruo's sigh smiled and said, "Let's eat first." ”

The meals are all local specialties, and they are also simple and small, and the varieties are not rich, just like the usual food at home, which makes Chen Tianyu gradually relax.

Don't look at Yiruo's sigh of silence when she was by the lake, when she returned home, she seemed to have become a chatterbox: "In fact, there are many tourists who come to my house to eat, and they usually don't invite us, and they also need to pay extra for dinner." She paused, and even joked, "But their meals will be better than this." ”

Chen Tianyu was happy, and he was very cordial to this kind of straightforwardness, and he said lightly: "I like it a lot." ”

"You must be curious, why did I fall in love with you at first sight and invite you over for dinner?"

"I really didn't understand, after all, I had other girls with me. Chen Tianyu told the truth, and he also wanted to know the real answer.

Yiruo's sigh nodded: "Young man, I like your confession very much. ”

She changed her tone and said, "However, I am afraid that you will not get the answer you want." Perhaps, it can only be said that our Mosuo women have a unique vision, I think you and Yiruo have a fate, and I also have a fate. The Living Buddha always tells us that everything has a fate, and we smile at people who are destined......"

Chen Tianyu was a little stunned, but he glanced at the layout in the main hall and remembered that they seemed to believe in Mahayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism is indeed about fate.

Therefore, he didn't want to continue to delve in, just put down the dishes and chopsticks, folded his hands to express his gratitude, and smiled and didn't speak.

"In recent years, more and more tourists have come to Lugu Lake, and our lives have become better and better......" Alas Mi said this, but there was a trace of gloom in her eyes, and Chen Tianyu saw it in her eyes.

So he comprehended: "Probably these outsiders flocked in, and the damage to Lugu Lake itself is quite serious, right?"

Alas smiled bitterly: "Without these tourists, we would also have a hard time surviving." ”

Chen Tianyu nodded: "That's right, there are advantages and disadvantages." I think it's the Mosuo culture and the original inhabitants who are most affected here, right? I think there are very few real Mosuo people who do business on the shore of the lake. ”

Yiruo's grandmother's house and flower building were built on the mountainside far away from the shore of Lugu Lake.

"Hmm. Alas nodded, "No, we are not as good at business as outsiders, and our minds are as simple as this meal." ”

Chen Tianyu laughed: "Alas, you are so humorous. ”

"Kid, you're the first to say I'm humorous. Alas had a smile on her face, but her eyes were slightly red.

"Do you want to get married once in a serious way?" she suddenly went straight to the point.

Chen Tianyu couldn't bear to be deceived, he said frankly: "I can't really marry Yiruo, I only have one lover, and that is the girl who follows me." ”

Alas didn't look surprised at all, she nodded and asked, "Isn't Yiruo beautiful enough?"

"Not really. Chen Tianyu's old face turned red and scratched his head a little.

Alas Mi saw his embarrassment, and then smiled: "This is what you want me to do, of course I won't force you, and besides, getting married is also a long-term plan, you child, you don't know how to comfort me." ”

Chen Tianyu said: "How dare you, alas, Mi is so sincere to me, how can I reciprocate with a lie." ”

He guessed that Yiruo's alas was well-informed and could understand his plan: "However, I may have to marry Yiruo once in form, I don't know if you can agree?"

Alas, Mi said very happily: "I have no opinion on whether it is true or false." Deal with your young people's affairs...... I will never ask about it again. ”

Chen Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "What about the others? Will they stop me, after all, I am an outsider." Is there a combination of outsiders and Mosuo girls?" his concern was not unreasonable.

Alas smiled: "Not much, but there are some." ”

"Are you chasing Yiruo?" he asked again.

"It used to be in droves. "But since she met a prodigal son, she hasn't opened the door to anyone." You also know that our Mosuo people never force it, they quickly retreated, as for those outsiders, they just passed by and wanted to take advantage of it, and there was a tour guide to tell them the news, and no one wanted to touch this nail. ”

"Oh. Chen Tianyu understood a little, "Alas, why do you only have one daughter?" He decided to break the casserole and ask in the end, he couldn't come in vain.

"All I can say is that I have the same personality as my daughter. ”

Chen Tianyu suddenly realized what she meant, obviously this Alas only loved one man when she was young.

He was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Alas explained: "My daughter has been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, but she is also very stubborn in her bones, especially after going to college, her concept seems to be different from ours." ”

"Out of Mosuo Village, there will still be some changes. Chen Tianyu agreed.

The two chatted casually again, and during the meal, he gained a lot, and Alas Mi didn't hide anything, and told a lot about Yiruo and Xiao Su.

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and Yiruo never showed up.

Chen Tianyu finally confirmed: "Do you agree?"

"Hehe, then it depends on your ability. Alas smiled, "Our Mosuo men rely on charm to conquer women." ”

"Uh...... This. ”

Yiruo's sigh suddenly leaned over mysteriously and said a few strange words in his ear, Chen Tianyu was pleasantly surprised to find that this should be a special code word for entering the flower building, he nodded no longer delayed, and got up to say goodbye.

When she walked to the gate, she seemed to be saying to herself: "Young man, I really like you!"

Chen Tianyu didn't dare to look back, he felt his heart heavy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Returning to the inn by the lake from his grandmother's house, Chen Tianyu almost collided with a burly body, and he was thinking all the way, so he couldn't help but be distracted.

Standing on the side of the road is the gathering of the Condor Detective Agency, like a giant wall.

Yun Ji didn't say much, just said briefly: "Go to Hualou so early?"

"Waiting for me so early?"

Chen Tianyu glanced at him coldly, probably guessing the time when the gathering had arrived.

"Don't worry, I haven't gone to Hualou yet, I'm going to go to the wedding bridge first!"

With that, he quickly flashed through the clouds and left, leaving the man to puff in smoke and a cold glow under the brim of his hat.
