Verse 392: Guest
Du Lao Wu glanced at Taixin disdainfully and said: "You should be as greedy as you are, this spiritual herb elixir is native, and it will only be picked if there is a need, and if there is no need, just wait for it to grow on its own." ”
Tan Taixin rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you need to rely on them to exchange for money and spirit stones?"
"Are you stupid, a certain family doesn't need spirit stones to cultivate like you, just have enough money to spend, why do you need so much money and spirit stones?" Du Rau replied unceremoniously. This is still a reply from the old woman who said that the two of them are not from Nanhua, and her attitude has changed slightly.
Tantai Xin was so angry that he was about to argue with Du Rawu again, but was grabbed by Mu Sheng and asked, "You can't plant these spiritual herbs and elixirs, why are there so many and so concentrated?"
Qi Qi smiled and said: "We didn't deliberately plant it, most of these spirit herbs and elixirs grew by themselves, and we planted more plantains, phoenix tail bamboos and golden silk nanmu, because these things are commonly used." ”
Mu Sheng heard that there must be some connection between them, it was possible that the growth of these three plants contributed to the survival of other spiritual herbs and elixirs, but he didn't know it. After walking for more than ten minutes, Mu Sheng saw the stilted building again.
Different from the grandeur of the ancestral temple, these stilted buildings are much smaller and more exquisite, and Mu Sheng faintly feels that these stilted buildings located between the mountains and forests seem to form a formation with the ancestral temple. It's just that Mu Sheng's divine sense can't detect too far, and as far as the eye can see, it is blocked by mountains and vegetation, so Mu Sheng doesn't know if it's as he thinks, this whole cottage is a big array.
The stilted buildings on the mountain range are generally four rows of three rooms as a building, and some of them have one or two "partial buildings" in addition to the main house. Each row of wooden pillars is generally nine, that is, five pillars and four melons. Each wooden building is generally divided into three floors, the upper floor is a grain store, the middle floor is inhabited, and the lower floor is fenced into a circle for stacking sundries or raising livestock. On the first floor of the residential building, there is a wooden ladder next to the upper and lower floors, and there is a corridor on this floor, which is about one meter wide. The hall is a welcoming room, and each room on both sides is divided into two or three small rooms for bedrooms or kitchens. The room is spacious and bright, with symmetrical doors and windows. Some Miao families also have fire pits in the side room, and they burn fires here in winter to keep warm. There is a large door in front of the central hall, and the door is two, and there is a window on each side. Under the front eaves of the middle hall, the suspended corridor outside the hall is installed with a unique backrest railing, the Ori language is called "Ga Xi", commonly known as "the beauty leans", and the county seat of Leishan also has this type of backrest railing, it is said that it is learned from the Oriole people, so Mu Sheng and Yutai Xin know.
The promenade outside the building is mostly a place for women to embroider, pick yarn, weave cotton, tie flower belts, dry yarn, and dry clothes, and it is also a good place to watch the scenery without leaving home. Only carved Musheng and Tan Taixin saw many stilted buildings on the corridors, there were women of the Ori tribe sitting or leaning on chairs, working and chatting.
These women were dressed differently from the old woman, wearing narrow sleeves, large necks, and cardigans on the upper body, and pleated skirts on the lower body. Some dresses are long enough to reach the feet, elegant and colorful, and some are short to the knee, graceful and moving. They all wore silver ornaments on their heads and hands, and most of them were young women, who did not work, and if they did any more, they would only do some work. The older ones are more wrapped in a headband, a short shirt on the upper body, trousers on the lower body, inlaid with embroidered lace, tied with an embroidered waist, and a little delicate silver jewelry to set off, and the housework is handled by Ma Ma Lili.
The girl on a stilted floor was the first to discover Mu Sheng and his party, and she was not ashamed to hide into the room, but leaned against the railing and shouted loudly: "." As he spoke, he stretched out his handkerchief and shook it, and leaned out half of the railing.
Seeing that someone greeted him, he also responded happily, including Du Rau and the girls on the stilted floor chatted happily, but Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin were a little embarrassed, and they couldn't understand what a few people were saying at all, so they had to stand aside stupidly and listen.
Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin saw the girls upstairs talking and talking, so they looked at themselves, and covered their mouths from time to time and chuckled, their eyes were dripping, and they looked at the two of them carefully from head to toe. Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin knew that these people were talking about themselves, but they couldn't understand the language, and they didn't know what they said. Mu Sheng was still calm and stood in place as if nothing had happened, while Tan Taixin looked a little restless, scratching his ears and cheeks.
After talking about half a cup of tea, Qi Qi and Du Lawu finished chatting with a few people, and led Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin away. However, like this situation, there were a few more encounters along the way, and when the two of them were led to their destination, Mu Sheng estimated that it took a full meal.
Qi Qi took Mu Sheng and the two to a stilted building, which is also a standard three-story building, and pushed the door in, but there was no fire. "This house is used by us to receive guests, so we can't cook without a fire pit, and we will bring food for the two of us when we arrive." ”
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, we have already opened the valley, it doesn't matter if we eat or not." All you need to do is bring some drinking water every day. ”
Qi Qi said: "That's okay, today's brother's Golden Silkworm Gu is solved, you can rest for a while." After speaking, he arched his hand and said goodbye to the two.
Du Rawu said: "In a certain village, the road is complicated, so don't walk around if you two are fine, so as not to get lost." ”
Mu Sheng knew that he didn't want the two to know the details of the village, so Du Rau deliberately said that it was easy to get lost, and put the two under house arrest in disguise.
Although he knew it in his heart, Mu Sheng still replied: "Thank you little brother for reminding us, we won't walk around." ”
Du Rau didn't say anything more, and left with the two of them. From the morning to the present, after walking the mountain road, adding the golden silkworm Gu, and then listening to the story of the fairy Niang, before I knew it, it was close to dusk. Qi Mi and Du Rau hurriedly said goodbye, thinking that they were also in a hurry to go home for dinner. Even hearing Mu Sheng say that there was no need to provide food, there was a faint hint of joy on his face. Maybe I thought again, I don't have to rush to eat, let's bring food to the two of you. Mu Sheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
Tan Taixin suffered a lot of sins because of the removal of the Golden Silkworm Gu, and he was already extremely tired, so he went into the wing room early to rest. And Mu Sheng looked at the house carefully.
Mu Sheng saw at a glance that in the center of the main beam of the stilted building, a mysterious symbol was drawn. The symbol is circular, divided into two layers, the outer circle is painted in ink, and the center is painted red with cinnabar, like an "egg" shape.
