"Congjiang County's Lansha Miao Village is a township in Bingmei Town, which is composed of five natural villages, including Lao Village, Zaige New Village, Wangjia Village, Darongpo New Village and Zaizhuang. Located in five villages in the blank forest at the foot of the Moon Mountain, 6 kilometers south of Congjiang County, Guizhou Province, the Miao tribe is the last Miao village in China where guns can be legally carried. ”

"The man of Lansha advocates force, usually wears a self-woven collarless right cardigan with copper buttons, green cloth clothes, straight large trousers, green cloth jackets, carries waist knives all year round, carries muskets on his shoulders, hunts in the mountains, and fishes in the rivers. Climbing the mountain and the trees are like walking on the flat ground, very good at climbing the mountain and hunting, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation are all taken from the mountains, forests and valleys. ”

Along the way, Xie Pengju introduced the situation of Miao Village.

"Located on a mountain col at an altitude of 550 meters, the village has mild seasons and is the hottest in July, with an average temperature of 25 °C. Now you've come in just the right temperature, neither hot nor cold, just in time for a jungle adventure. There are many cultural traditions and festivals in this area. For example, the most famous Eat New Festival, Reed Sheng Festival, Ghost Festival, Miao New Year, etc.

In terms of topography, there are 1,000-meter-high Darongpo Mountains and Zaigo Mountains on both sides of the mountain, and most of the terraced rice fields between the two mountains are now, which may not have been the case 80 years ago. It is not excluded that your grandfather Chen Lao will pass through here when they escort cultural relics. In the old days, when the highway was not as accessible as it is now, Lansha was the only way to walk from Jiangxian County to other western regions. Therefore, this road may also be a route from Jiang County to Rongjiang County and to Guiyang. ”

Xie Pengju analyzed.

Grandpa also mentioned in his reminiscence record route that he was blocked from Jiang County to the township. Chen Xiaoyan recalled what her grandfather mentioned before.

At that time, when he set out to go west in Guilin, he found a suspicious person following him behind, and he followed him for a month.

After the migration team arrived in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, they did not take the route of the previous migration team of the Palace Museum, and began to change the route, asking the locals to disguise themselves as escort teams and follow the original route to Congjiang, and then the original team changed from taking the main road to taking the small road, taking the mountain road, shoulder-picking, and donkey-packing.

"We are about to go to the Miao Village, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, we still park the car in Bingmei Town, and then carry our bags and walk into the village. ”

Zhuo Feng looked at the vehicle locator, and was about to enter Bingmei Town, and said to Chen Xiaoyan.

Bingmei Town is a small town, and it is also the station of Congjiang County.

Chen Xiaoyan and Zhuo Feng accompanied Xie Peng's car to the front, and hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to inform the other convoys, informing Zheng Wan'er, Liu Sheng, and Zhang Niuhai.

Carrying their bags and leaving five drivers, Zhuo Feng and his party headed towards the Lansha Mountain Range, where the Miao Village was located.

The momentum of this group of people was a little huge, and Zhuo Feng discussed with Xie Pengju that he did not take the county highway and avenue, but went directly to the mountain from the corner of the mountain.

It is surrounded by mountains, shaded by green trees, no severe cold in winter, and no scorching heat in summer. It is mainly planted with barang and cedar trees, and the vegetation is dense.

Although it was not as difficult as the primeval forest, the group still had a hard time trekking through the mountains.

From time to time, Zhuo Feng scanned the mountains and forests with his consciousness, looking for a different essence.

After the consciousness is sublimated to a red-orange color, the essence of all living beings can be examined at once, and the classification is quite accurate, and what kind of animals and plants are what kind of essence lingers, they can be seen and quite clearly.

Occasionally, he could see the slightest essence seeping out of the ground, and combined with the consciousness of the Yellow Dragon Pig Venerable locked in the dark space, Zhuo Feng could also roughly confirm what type of antiquity it was.

These antiquities lie dormant underground, and it is better not to touch them unless absolutely necessary, so as not to destroy their storage environment.

"What can you see?" Chen Xiaoyan noticed Zhuo Feng's actions, and asked softly after everyone walked to the front.

"For the time being, I haven't found any special and unusual essence. Zhuo Feng said truthfully.

Turning his head, he saw Chen Xiaoyan panting and carrying a big bag, so he walked over and took the bag from under her back.

"I'll help you carry it, although this mountain range is not steep, but it is also difficult, you can rest. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

"What's polite to me. ”

When Zhuo Feng was about to carry Chen Xiaoyan's bag, Hanwa stepped down the hillside several times, took Chen Xiaoyan's bag, and carried it on his body.

"Hanwa, put it down, you have already carried two bags, and you can't add any more weight. Zhuo Feng scolded.

"Hehe, it's okay, Brother Xiaofeng, I'll give it to you when I carry it. ”

Hanwa didn't pant at all and stuck out her tongue at Zhuo Feng, naughtily put on her third bag, and ran towards everyone on the hillside.

"You just let him carry it, he can't carry it, and he will naturally put it down. Chen Xiaoyan stopped Zhuo Feng's reproach.

Zhuo Feng is heartbroken, since the beginning of the hike, he has been carrying two large bags of equipment, drinking water, food, etc., in exchange for other people to wilt, but he has never complained.

"Hurry up to find clues, you can let them rest early, let's go, don't be left behind." ”

Hanwa ignored Zhuo Feng's words, carrying three big bags on her back, swaying, I don't know if it was because the center of gravity was unstable or what, her feet slipped, and people looked at it and fell towards the side of the mountain stream.

"Hanwa, be careful!" Zhuo Feng exclaimed urgently. A few big strides forward to grab Hanwa's hand, but when he ran to him, Hanwa couldn't stand on his heels before, and was pulled by a heavy bag and rolled down towards the mountain stream.

Three heavy bags, a big man, staggered on the slope, seeing that Hanwa hit the fourth tree one after another to stabilize it, both hands grabbed the trunk, but the hand slipped and did not catch, under the action of gravity, Hanwa continued to slide and roll towards the hillside.

"Hanwa!" Chen Xiaoyan also shouted loudly, and only then did the person who walked to the front realize the situation behind him, and turned around to see Hanwa sliding down the mountain stream.

The people turned back, took the rope and took the rope, and looked for a machete to cut the vegetation to open the way, and they were busy.

Hanwa rolled a few times and then disappeared in front of everyone.

"Find a way to save people. Chen Xiaoyan said anxiously.

"It's not very high, it's just a little denser, which is a good thing for Hanwa, so that he won't be hurt too much by the impact. Xie Peng raised his probe and looked down the mountain stream and said.

"Quick, you pull the rope, tie the other end, I'll tie one end, go down and have a look. ”

Zhuo Feng untied his bags, grabbed a handful of rope on the ground, tied one end to his waist, and handed over the rest to Liu Sheng.

"You can be careful. Liu Sheng asked people to tie the two bundles of rope together, fix the tail ends, and instructed Zhuo Fengdao.

"Hmm. ”

Zhuo Feng took the machete handed over by the team members, and walked down the hillside while chopping vegetation.

Half an hour later, the rope was still stretching downward, and it seemed that Zhuo Feng at the other end had not yet reached the bottom of the mountain stream or found Hanwa. Everyone was anxious.

"I'll go down the rope and see. Yu Jie, the captain of the expedition team, said.

"Well, keep the walkie-talkie communication normal at all times. Zheng Wan'er explained.

After another twenty minutes passed, Yu Jie checked the traces of Zhuo Feng's coming down and looked around for his figure.

At this time, a long black steel pipe suddenly appeared from behind and hit Yu Jie's waist.

Yu Jie turned around and saw a man in local clothes holding a shotgun, touching the top of the barrel to his waist, as long as he moved, the other party might have to shoot.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Jie said calmly.

"You've entered our hunting area, disturbed our prey, and asked me what I'm going to do?" the man asked Yu Jie.

"Oh, yes. Just now we were exploring the hillside, and one of our companions accidentally fell off it, and one of our companions came down to look for it, and I came down to find out the situation. Don't get me wrong, I didn't know this was already your hunting area. ”

Yu Jie pointed to the ropeway that stretched down.

"Just now the villagers of our village said that they had caught two outsiders, so it should be them. ”

"Where is your village?"

"It's in front of the Miao Village. ”

Yu Jie hurriedly conveyed the situation to the crowd above on the walkie-talkie.

When Yu Jie followed the man with the gun back to the village, Chen Xiaoyan and Zheng Wan'er had already detoured to Miao Village by another road, and everyone was reunited again.

"What about Zhuo Feng and Hanwa?" asked Chen Xiaoyan.

As soon as he finished asking, a large crowd came out of the village, and the leader said something in Hmong.

"This is the patriarch of Miao Village, and he asked us what we were looking for. Xie Pengju understood Miao and translated it to Chen Xiaoyan and Zheng Wan'er.

"We are looking for our two companions who rolled down the mountain stream just now, I am a staff member of the Congjiang County Geological Bureau, and this is my ID. ”

Xie Pengju communicated with the other party in Hmong.

"Oh, there are two people who have just been sent back to our stockade. After a person came over to check Xie Pengju's documents, he returned to the patriarch and whispered a few words, and the patriarch said.

"Great. Xie Pengju passed the message to everyone.

"Quickly ask, where are they now?" Chen Xiaoyan said eagerly.

After a Miao exchange, Xie Pengju excitedly told everyone: "They said that one of our two companions was slightly injured, but it has been bandaged. The other lean guy was fine. It's just that there are people waiting in the hunting area with guns, because a wave of people has just come to the village a few days ago, and it is very unfriendly. ”

"Oh, I see. Everyone understood.

After seeing Zhuo Feng and Hanwa, everyone's hanging hearts were put down.

Everyone only saw that Hanwa was bandaged, but in fact, Zhuo Feng had already helped him regulate his damaged essence, and it was as good as ever.

The patriarch inquired again in Hmong. Xie Pengju translated the meaning of the patriarch to everyone.

"A few days ago, a group of people came, not very friendly, destroying the crops of the residents of the village at will, trampling on the fertile fields to find something, and was warned by the group that they were not allowed to take out the stored shotguns and handed them over to the residents who knew how to shoot to guard the stockade. There was a strange noise in the area where the beasts were prevented from attacking, and there were often beasts there, so everyone went to check and found two of our companions. And brought them back to the stockade so as not to cause trouble. ”

"It's good that I revealed my identity, otherwise they would have mistaken us for the same group we were earlier. ”

Xie Pengju said again.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Mr. Zhuo Feng and this big black man have nothing to do, let's take a break and discuss it again. ”

As soon as the misunderstanding was resolved, the residents of Miaozhai in Lansha became enthusiastic and handed out tea and water.

Xie Pengju and the patriarch sat on the side to communicate, and Chen Xiaoyan hurriedly came forward to check on Hanwa's injuries and Zhuo Feng's situation.

"Sister Xiaoyan, I'm fine. You see. Hanwa flexibly moved the injured arm, thigh and calf.

"You scared me to death just now. Chen Xiaoyan said with a little sad concern.

"It's my carelessness, I shouldn't let Hanwa snatch my bags, these three bags add up to one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds, and it's a climbing section, and if you're not careful, you will fall and roll down. Zhuo Feng blamed himself.

"Brother Xiaofeng, I'm fine. Hey. ”

"Don't be so aggressive next time. ”

"Oh. Hey. ”

"You go and find out what Director Xie Pengju knows. Zhuo Feng hinted at Chen Xiaoyan.

Chen Xiaoyan took out a bottle of drinking water from her bag and walked over.

Seeing that Xie Pengju was chatting with the patriarch, Chen Xiaoyan twisted a small stool and sat on the side, trying not to disturb them.

After a while, the patriarch got up and walked outside.

"The patriarch said that he wanted to stay with us for one night, and said that it was rare for the staff of the county geological bureau to come to the village to prepare a dinner, and I would like to ask you what your opinion is. Xie Pengju knew the reason why Chen Xiaoyan sat over, and directly conveyed the meaning of the patriarch.

"This Sha Miao Village is also a hospitable village, and it is not easy to refuse, or we will stay for one night. Chen Xiaoyan also looked at Zhuo Feng.

"Okay, by the way, find out what the gang is looking for in this stockade. Zhuo Feng nodded.
