As the taboo said, everything has returned to its original state during the day, the mountain is still a mountain, it is not weird and lingering, walking on the road, Yi Yongheng's heart is not calm, last night's events have been ringing in his mind, and he can't leave for a long time, Xiaolan's question, he also has a sentence to answer.

Intuition told her that her brother was a little abnormal today, as if he was possessed by a ghost, it was already early in the morning, and they didn't need to rush to leave, Xiaolan's hungry stomach rumbled, Yi Yongheng took out the fruit from the mysterious pot and gave him to eat, and walked for more than an hour, and they didn't get to the familiar road.

After wandering around for a few minutes, they actually saw a crowd, this is a Miao village, most of them are stilted buildings, which are different from wooden houses.

Looking at Miao Village from afar, the stilted buildings are stacked on top of each other, showing a pyramid shape. Look at these stilted buildings up close to find its practicability, scientific, stilted building stands on the flat ground, the stilted half of the building is built on the slope of the slope of the larger inclination, the slope is opened into the upper and lower two levels of the roof foundation, the lower level erects a longer column, the upper level erects a shorter column, so that the front half of the floor is parallel to the ground of the back half, forming a half of the building. The outermost one of each row of columns is cut off from top to bottom at the foundation of the upper roof to form a stilted column, hence the name of the stilted building.

At this time, in the Miao village, there was already thick smoke, along the stone steps, Yi Yongheng walked down, several Miao men were walking up the mountain with firewood knives, and when they saw Yi Yongheng and Xiaolan coming from the mountain, they were all surprised, and their faces were full of bad expressions, especially one of the men, who was even more hostile to him, looking at Yi Yongheng a little surprised.

"How did you come from the mountains, did you want to die? The Miao man said in the Miao dialect, and most of Yi Yongheng still understood it.

"Yesterday we got lost in the mountains, and we spent the night in the woods, and we have not found our way back until now. Yi Yongheng hurriedly explained that in the mountains, the Miao people's belief in taboos is much stronger than that of the Han people, and going out at night is an act of blasphemy against the ancestors.

But Yi Yongheng's explanation obviously didn't have much effect, because the Miao man's eyes looked at Yi Yongheng more and more wrong: "You, you have desecrated the taboo, you are hopeless." ”

Hearing this, Xiaolan was a little scared, she didn't know what her brother had done, and the Miao man's tone was a little scared. Especially Yi Yongheng when he heard the words of this Miao man, his face suddenly changed, but he knew that something really happened last night, and now this man actually said it clearly.

"What's going on?" Yi Yongheng asked.

"Did you see something yesterday that you shouldn't have seen? As soon as the Miao man said this, the two men next to him also changed their faces, and looked at Yi Yongheng in surprise.

Nodding, Yi Yongheng admitted, this thing did happen, in this big mountain, if something bad happened, then it must be told to the elders, because only they know what to do.

"I didn't expect you to come back alive, you and me, I'll take you to see Lao Si. "The Miao man looks at Yi Yongheng like a dead man, and even if he comes back alive, he feels that it is impossible to live for a few days, because he has broken the taboo and seen things that evil spirits should not see.

Yi Yongheng nodded, and a few Miao men put down the firewood knife and led the way in front, and Xiaolan next to him was a little worried: "Brother, nothing will happen to you." ”

"No, Xiaolan rest assured. Yi Yongheng gave Xiaolan a reassuring look.

But a few Miao men next to him didn't think so, they wondered why this little girl didn't have the same dead face as this young man.

The stilted half of the building in the Miao village is mostly a partial building with a horizontal roof of three main houses, or a side building along the roof, but it is slightly lower than the main house, and the middle is a hall house, with a swallow. The corridor is wider, and the sitting fang that connects two stilt pillars is set up widely, and the sitting fang is placed on the extended horizontal shuttle column, and dozens of crescent-shaped wooden strips are embedded to connect the sitting fang, forming a chair railing, which is called the step. The corridors mostly lead directly from the upper base to the hall house, and are inlaid with thin wooden strips to form waist-high nets or straight railings.

Most of them are three-storey structures, the stilted buildings in the village are built layer upon layer along the mountain, and they are continuous into pieces, and there are green bamboo embellishments in front of the house and behind the house.

Since ancient times, the Miao people have lived in the high mountains, and most of the stilted buildings are built on steep slopes of more than 70 degrees. These houses are all connected by tenons, can go through a hundred years of wind and rain without tilting, there are small bluestone paved paths between households, the whole is hygienic, comfortable and refreshing, the wooden buildings on stilts are connected one by one, the second is raised, the whole Miao village naturally forms a pair of huge rivets, it can be seen that the wisdom of the Miao family is profound.

Walking into the village, there is no atmosphere for the New Year, because the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Miao people is October, which is very different from the Han people.

"Brother, that sister's clothes are so beautiful. Xiaolan pointed to a brightly dressed Miao girl standing on stilts.

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng also looked over, and saw that the girl was wearing a pleated skirt, a flower belt pinned to her waist, and a flower breast pocket, which was colorful and beautiful. The ornaments on the head and body are even more breathtaking, silver horns, silver fans, silver hats, silver handkerchiefs, silver floating head rows, silver hairpins, silver top flowers, silver net chains, silver flower combs, silver earrings, silver children's hats, if the Miao girls in full costume gather together, it will definitely become a beautiful silver world.

"Xiaolan also wants to do it?" Yi Yongheng turned around and asked.

"Hmm. ”

"Hehe, those are made by my sister herself, if you want to, then you have to do it yourself. "What Yi Yongheng said is not a lie, whether it is the pleated group or those silver jewelry, most of them are made by themselves. Miao girls are not only good at singing and dancing, but also famous for being diligent, so it is blessed to be able to marry a Miao daughter-in-law.

Yi Yongheng was thinking about yy, but Xiaolan was unhappy, because she really wanted to, and the expressions of several Miao men next to her were different, and they didn't expect Yi Yongheng to understand the habits of the Miao people, and his attitude towards him changed a lot, but he became a little sympathetic.

"Brother, wouldn't it be nice for you to marry a Miao daughter-in-law and come back, and ask my sister-in-law to help me do it when the time comes. Xiaolan said innocently.

Hearing Yi Yongheng's ears, his head is big, there is a Liu Fei is not enough to make a fuss, and now there is another Chu Xiangjun, and at this time, Xiaolan wants him to marry a Miao daughter-in-law, which makes him not know what to do, after thinking about it, he said: "Xiaolan can't be so lazy, you must know that Miao girls are not so easy to marry." ”

In fact, most of the Miao people are Zhaolang, and the reason why Yi Yongheng didn't say it was because there were a few Miao men next to him, and this matter couldn't be said clearly.

After a while, they came to the largest stilted building, stepping on the wooden plank, crunching, quite ancient.

When he walked to the door, the Miao man stopped, he asked Yi Yongheng to wait at the door for a while, and walked in by himself, obviously to report it, and the half-paid Miao man walked out and told Yi Yongheng to let him in, but the three of them left, and there was some pity when they looked at Yi Yongheng.

But as soon as he walked in the door, he suddenly found that his shoelaces were loose, his face changed, and he pretended to be okay and walked in, only to see that the furnishings inside were quite ordinary, but there was a strange atmosphere, an old man wearing black Miao costumes, sitting on a bamboo chair, looked at Yi Yongheng coldly.

On the table next to it, there is a bowl of red things, which emits a refreshing aroma, which is the most unique Wanhua tea of the Miao people, I used to go to the Miao village with my father, I drank this kind of tea, one bite down, Yu Xin endures for a long time, the flavor is unique, unique.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the old man looked at Yi Yongheng and was a little surprised: "What did you see in the mountains last night?"

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng told everything without hesitation, and also told the familiar person he saw at the end, but as soon as he heard this, the old man's face suddenly turned purple, and he looked at Yi Yongheng who wanted to speak and stopped, and his attitude was obviously a little awe-inspiring.

"Lao Si, can you tell me, what is that, why is that person so similar to me?" Maybe only the elder of this Miao Village can solve his doubts, this question is not removed, Yi Yongheng is always uneasy in his heart.

"Hey, maybe the reason why you can come back is because of this, if ordinary people saw it, I'm afraid you would have died in the mountains a long time ago. Lao Si shook his head, but did not say anything.

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng didn't ask, he didn't say that there must be a reason for him.

"Sooner or later, you'll understand. Looking at Yi Yongheng, he was a little disappointed, and the Miao old Si Dao.

"Okay, thank you, elder, I won't bother. Saying that, Yi Yongheng was about to take Xiaolan away, but at this moment, Yi Yongheng looked at the shoelaces, and then said, "Lao Si, can you get rid of the Gu you put on me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old man looked surprised: "How do you know that I have played a trick on you?"

"When I was a child, I went to Miao Village with my father, so I know some things, and I ask you to take them. "The reason why Yi Yongheng said this is when he entered the Miao village when he was a child, if he entered the Miao family's house, once the shoelaces fell off, then nine times out of ten he was hit by the Gu, generally only the enemy will be like this, Yi Yongheng thought of the expression of the Miao man just now, maybe he violated the taboo, so he should be put to death.

The old Si of the Miao clan thought about it, and then pressed and groped on Yi Yongheng's body for a while, and then pressed, even Yi Yongheng didn't know what the hell he was doing, he didn't even feel it, a Gu worm appeared in his hand, this technique was so clever that it was simply terrifying.

"Thank you, Elder. "Yi Yongheng is about to leave.

But at this moment, the old Miao priest spoke: "Young man, stay and drink a cup of tea before leaving." ”

At this time, the Miao old man smiled, without the previous coldness, as long as he did not violate the taboo of the Miao people, then the Miao people were hospitable, after all, Yi Yongheng was the first to touch the law, and it was also an unintentional mistake, he wondered why this Miao old man would be so polite to him. But this is something he can't guess.

After a while, Lao Si shouted, and a Miao girl walked out and walked over with two cups of tea.

But when Yi Yongheng took the tea in her hand, his face suddenly changed..........
