"Brother Zhao, I went to Miao Village with Ah Bao once, but it's not as terrible as you said......"

Hearing Zhao Hongtao talk about the past that he had personally experienced, Man Jun was stunned for a moment and said: "Although the village of Miao Village is a little poorer, now it has contact with the outside world, and many young people can understand Mandarin, and there is no such uncivilized ......."

The Manchu army used to do the Huanghuali and agarwood business for a period of time, and it was the Miao village that Bao took him to at that time, due to the language barrier, the Manchu army only listened to it after it went, but did not find anything abnormal.

"Boss Man, are you talking about Miao Village?" Just as Man Jun was speaking, Ah Bao pushed the door and walked in, and said with a smile; "I have more contact with them, what do you want to know, just ask me......

"Bao, I want to know what is the difference between the Miao people in this Qiong Province and the Miao people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guichuan?" Zhao Hongtao thought for a while and asked, what happened back then did leave some shadows in his heart.

"Boss Zhao, you are asking the right person......"

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Ah Bao couldn't help laughing and said: "When I was young, I was more skinny, and I often drilled into the Miao village, so I know a little about their history, the Miao people in Qiong Province originally moved in from Yunnan and Guizhou......"

According to Bao, the real aborigines of Qiong Province should actually be the Li people, who are still the largest aboriginal gathering place in Qiong Province, accounting for more than one-third of the total population of the entire Qiong Province.

However, during the period from Jiajing to Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was recruited from Gui Province and other places as soldiers to Qiong Province, and some Miao soldiers settled in Qiong Province after the withdrawal, and some of them moved to Qiong Island to make a living, which has a history of more than 400 years.

The life of these Miao people in Qiong Province still maintains their customs, that is, they like to live in the mountains, they are like elves in the mountains and forests, and so far very few people are willing to go out of the mountains and forests.

"Bao, that'...... Do you say that these Miao people are the legendary Gu arts?" Zhao Hongtao hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Do we need to pay attention to some things when we go to Miao Village? If there is anything to avoid, you can tell ......us first."

Although Zhao Hongtao is a "staunch" materialist, his rich life experience has taught him that there are still some things in this world that cannot be explained by science, and sometimes a little caution may save a lot of trouble.

"I don't know if they can do Gu magic, but Miao Village does have some very mysterious things......

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Ah Bao thought for a while and said: "The family I took you to when I turned around is my friend who has played since I was a child, and it is okay in his house, but you must not provoke other people's girls, as for the taboo, don't beat dogs in the Miao village, don't sit on the ancestral shrine of the Miao family, and you can't step on the tripod on the kang with your feet......

In addition, when you meet someone with a straw hat or tree branches hanging on the door, don't go into their house, this is something in their house, and there is a very important thing, you must remember ......"

When he said this, Ah Bao's face became stern, and after glancing left and right, he lowered his voice and said: "If you encounter wizard practices in Miao Village, you must avoid it, they are very taboo about being seen by outsiders......"

"Hmm, are there still wizard practices? Are they sacrificing to the sky?" Ah Bao's words aroused Zhao Hongtao's curiosity.

"There are sacrifices to the sky, and there are also ...... because of other things" Ah Bao's voice became quieter and quieter, and he said: "When the Miao Zhai people died, sometimes they had to be placed in the living room at home for seven days, which required a wizard to do it, and I saw it once when I was a ......child."

The incident that Bao said happened when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, when the grandmother of one of Bao's best friends in Miao Village, his current business partner, died, and it was the hottest July in Qiong Province, and even in the relatively shady mountains, the temperature was basically above 30 degrees.

In such weather, leaving the body in the living room for seven days, you can imagine what will happen, and Ah Bao, who has already gone to junior high school, naturally understands, but he also knows the rules in Miao Village, and he didn't say anything.

Because Bao grew up with that partner since he was a child, the family didn't let Bao who came to play during the summer vacation leave, and Bao also saw one thing that he can't forget until now.

On the day of the death of the elder of the family, a so-called "wizard" was invited, and strangely enough, the wizard himself carried a big sick rooster, and painted some color on his face, saying words that no one could understand, and cast a spell on the big rooster.

Strange to say, just after the wizard cast the spell, the sick rooster suddenly became lively, and has been guarding the corpse in the living room, Po has not seen anyone feed the rooster any food and water for seven days, but the rooster has always been healthy.

However, what frightened Ah Bao happened on the eighth day, when the seven days were full and ready to carry the old man to the mountain for burial, as soon as the coffin came out of the living room, the big rooster, which was still very lively, fell to the ground and died all at once, and the stench exuded all over his body, Ah Bao clearly saw that the rooster's body was crawling with maggots everywhere.

Bao, who has always been very bold, was also frightened by this scene, and he left Miao Village after the old man was buried.

For almost ten years, Ah Bao didn't dare to set foot in this Miao Village again, or five or six years ago, after his friend went out to work, Ah Bao established contact with him again, and cooperated to start a business of Huanghuali and agarwood and some medicinal materials, so he often ran to Miao Village again.

"Bao, ...... Then let's go this time, there won't be anything, right?" Zhao Hongtao was apprehensive in his heart, he wanted to see the gambling tree, but after hearing what Bao said, Zhao Hongtao retreated a little.

"It's okay, I'm talking about old rotten grain......

Ah Bao shook his head with a smile and said: "The Miao people who will still live in grass houses, and now they also live in brick houses, anyway, I have often run Miao Village in the past five or six years, but I have never seen a wizard, you can rest assured, follow me into Miao Village, nothing will happen......

Ah Bao patted his chest and started the package ticket, and now Miao Village has changed a lot.

Compared with the seventies and eighties, the government has given a lot of support to Miao villages, not only encouraging them to go out of the mountains, but also conducting a census in the past few years, but all the families who have counted the population have funded and helped them build houses, and now few Miao people live in grass huts anymore.

On the contrary, many of the Li people who live around the foot of the mountain live in houses with grass and wood structures, because compared with the hard-working Miao people, the Li people are lazy, and most of the subsidies given by the government are used by them to drink wine and eat meat, so under the same policy, the current Miao people are much richer than the Li people.

"That's good, that's good......" After hearing Bao's words, Zhao Hongtao's face suddenly softened, and with his current identity and status, he was not willing to cause some unnecessary trouble inexplicably.

"Hey, the five-legged pig is here, Boss Zhao, you try this braised pork first, and there is a roast suckling pig ...... when they turned around" When several people spoke, the dishes ordered by Ah Bao had already begun to be served, and after serving a few cold dishes, the five-legged pig recommended by Ah Bao was also served on the table.

"Hmm, it tastes good, and it really lives up to its reputation......"

Clamped a piece of pork in his mouth and chewed it, Zhao Hongtao's eyes immediately lit up, the meat skin of this five-legged pig is thick and oily, and the meat is very firm, a bite is not only tender and refreshing, but also the taste is fragrant, Zhao Hongtao nodded again and again.

"It tastes good...... Fang Yi also took a piece and tasted it, and nodded at the moment, but compared to meat, he liked the five-fingered mountain vegetables on the back even more.

Also, compared with Zhao Hongtao, who has a fearful heart, Fang Yi is also very interested in the mysterious Miao Village, because Fang Yi also grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and he unconsciously has a sense of closeness to the Miao people.
