Although Song Lingyi has seen the stilted buildings built by the mountains in Baizhai, he is still a little shocked to see the stilted buildings in Miao Village covering most of the mountains. This is a magnified Baizhai several times, the largest gathering place of several generations of Miao people, the village is self-contained, and few outsiders can enter.

Xie Qiong stepped forward to talk with the guards at the gate of the village, and reported the name of their master's deceased, Xu is that person has some status in the village, and the guards are less guarded in their eyes, so they sent someone to spread the word.

Song Ling turned the peach blossom fan boringly, waiting to go in, always feeling that someone was looking at her, she looked up and saw that it was a young man standing in the guard.

With a strong black figure, he is already very tall, if it weren't for the childishness on his face, it would be difficult for people to think that he was a teenager.

Seeing Song Ling's eyes, his hand holding the spear tightened a little more, and raised his head high.

The messenger came back quickly, and the three of them were led in immediately.

I had heard that the Miao people were enthusiastic and open, and they walked along a stone road in the middle, and many Miao people surrounded them, pointing and saying that this was Yunyun, the guest of the five elders.

Some pungent girls even asked Xie Qiong directly on the side of the road: "Is this good-looking little brother married?"

Song Ling looked at their style, it was very fresh, and she also returned the smile in response to the kind attention that others had thrown.

The Miao teenagers are accustomed to seeing spicy styles, and they think it is very funny for a sweet and smiling little girl like Song Lingyi, and they follow her all the way, introducing their names, and some people stuff fruit into her arms.

The person who led the way only explained that it was good intentions, and walked all the way to several three-story stilted buildings surrounded in the middle, and the crowd dispersed, and Song Lingyi and them were also led into one of them.

The fifth elder of Miao Village was a little old man in his fifties, his wrinkled face wrinkled even more when he smiled, he smoked his pipe and looked at the three of them from the smoke he spitted: "You are all apprentices of Qin Shi?

The three of them greeted politely, and Song Lingyi replied with a smile: "My little brother and I are the master's apprentices, and the other is my senior sister Luo Xiaomei, who is also a student in the backyard. ”

"Hahaha, your girl has a really good mouth, it doesn't look like she was taught by Qin Shi. The fifth elder smiled and puffed out another puff of smoke: "Today, you can rest first, and tomorrow I will let someone take you to pick gold branches and grass." ”

"Thank you, senior!"

Song Ling smiled when he saw him, there was no adult, he felt very close, and after thanking him, he gestured to the fruit he received in his hand: "Senior, the people in the village are really enthusiastic, they have sent me so many fruits in such a way, it's a good place!"

The fifth elder narrowed his eyes and touched his beard: "Where is this!" After speaking, he arranged for people and led them to their residences.

Soon, the crowd understood what he meant.

Song Lingyi's door had been knocked on for an unknown number of times, and after receiving five flowers, three plates of fruit, and a wind chime made of shells, she simply opened the door and piled everything on the table to wait.

The next person to enter the door was Xie Qiong, whose face was a little stiff.

"Little brother, why are you here? But the flowers in the room can't be piled up?"

Song Lingyigang also heard the movement next door, not only to send something to express his heart, but even a Miao girl formed a team to sing love songs in front of his door.

Seeing that Xie Qiong ignored her, and only walked in and sat down by himself, Song Lingyi continued by himself: "Senior Sister Xiaomei, I'm afraid she has also received a lot there, these Miao people are really bold, it is estimated that she is busy and shy in the room! Why don't we go over and have a look?"

Xie Qiong shook his head, seeing that the pile of things on the table was even more dazzling, he raised his hand and swept to the ground, grabbed the teapot hidden underneath, and poured himself a cup of cold tea.

Song Lingyi knew that he must be annoyed, and he was afraid that he would be seen rude, so he hurriedly closed the door again and picked up the things aside.

"Little brother, why don't we go out for a walk?"

Thinking that after going out, with Xie Qiong's appearance, he would definitely follow a string of tails, Song Lingyi shook his head again: "Forget it, I still won't go out." ”

"Come here. Xie Qiong finally spoke.

As soon as Xie Ling leaned up and sat beside him, her earlobes were immediately pinched, and she gently rubbed them with two fingers, she turned her head a little over, and then muttered in her mouth: "I saw that the silver jewelry on the head of the Miao family sister was very good-looking, and I thought about going out to buy a pair for the second pair to take back to see, but now I don't even dare to go out of the door." ”

Xie Qiong pinched her small earlobe, the soft touch calmed down his frizzy mood again, watching her sit beside her obediently, and the desire to hit someone was stimulated by the gifts just piled up on her table and slowed down a little.

She was still as small as before, although she was 14 years old and had grown a little taller, her cheeks were still fleshy, and her two dimples were like two small whirlpools floating in the sea.

Xie Qiong thought, as long as she was always by his side like this.

"Little Senior Brother, Little Senior Brother, What are you thinking?" Song Lingyi shook his left hand in front of his eyes.

Grabbing this dishonest little paw, Xie Qiong snorted, indicating that he was listening.

"Little brother, did you say that the master came to Miao Village like this back then?"

"I don't know. ”

"Oh, imagine it! What kind of friendship does the master have with the Fifth Elder? Did he be the son-in-law of Miao Village?"

Xie Qiong didn't care about her nonsense, he only said what he knew: "The master helped him once." ”

"What's the busy?"

"I don't know. ”

"Okay. Listening to this enthusiastic answer without any gossip, Song Lingyi felt that she missed He Qingtang a little, but fortunately she was used to such conversations, and said to herself: "Is there too few outsiders from Miao Village? Looking at their reaction, they are not very repulsive to outsiders!"

"For the sake of the safety of the ethnic group, the Miao people do not easily contact with outsiders, they can intermarry with foreigners, but they also have to live together in the Miao village after marriage. ”

"Then they are also pitiful, and they have never had a chance to go out and see in their lives. ”

"It's imprisonment, but it's also protection. ”

"I don't know how many brothers and sisters would rather not have this kind of protection! But without the protection of the race, how can there be so many innocent brothers and sisters. ”

Xie Qiong looked at Song Lingyi, who was a little emotional, and replied softly: "The world has both laws. ”

Until before dinner, Song Lingyi received small objects from several elder brothers, Xie Qiong didn't let her take the garland out to play, and scared her to marry someone else if she brought the things she sent, so Song Lingyi didn't dare to touch it casually.

When it was getting dark, someone came over and summoned them to dinner, and the three of them were led to an open area with a bonfire in the center of the field, and the smell of barbecue came to their noses.

The elder brother and sister of Miao Village specially prepared a bonfire dinner for them, which made Song Ling have a good night's sleep, eat and drink to their heart's content, and pulled Luo Xiaomei up to dance with the elder sisters.
