The girl with a fat face was about to speak, but the tall and thin girl next to her rushed to speak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Our family are all hunters, and Abba used to put ropes around the stockade, and my sister and I had to go out of the stockade every morning to see if there were any animals in the stockade. ”
Li Xun smiled slightly and didn't speak again.
Do you want to put a sheath on the slac?
Hunters often hunt in this way.
But from last night to this morning, they wandered around the mountains near Miao Village for so long, during which time they were secretly on guard against possible lurking hunters, and they had been cautious, but they did not find any trace of the rope trap.
If there is really any trace, there will definitely be no escape from the vicious gaze of Li Xun's gang.
Not to mention Li Xun, Xue Qizhen also heard the problem, and he quietly glanced at Li Xun.
The Miao girl did not tell the truth on this issue.
Xue Qi really thought about it, found a topic without saying anything, and chatted: "Speaking of your Miao friends' rope traps and hunting around the mountains, I remember that from the beginning of the month of Xuyue, it is your hunting festival, and then you will go up the mountain to hunt, calculate the days of this year, it happened to start some time ago." ”
The tall and thin girl was a little surprised: "So you also know about our hunting festival?"
The baby fat girl also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we start the hunting festival around October every year, and this year it is a little late, and it has just begun." ”
Xue Qizhen smiled and nodded: "I used to stay in Miao Jiang for a period of time, and there are many Miao friends in Xiangxi and southeast Guizhou, I know that your Miao friends are very sincere, hospitable and warm, and I also know that your Miao people in southeast Guizhou and Miao in Xiangxi have to worship the three gods of Meishan first in the annual hunting festival, and then officially start hunting." ”
As soon as Xue Qizhen said this, the attitude of the two girls towards him became obviously more enthusiastic.
The baby fat girl smiled and said: "Yes, our people are the most hospitable, as long as they come to our Miao Village, they are all our friends." ”
At this time, the baby fat girl has long lost the vigilance she had at the beginning.
Xue Qizhen smiled and asked without a trace: "By the way, what do you two call it?"
"Our surname is Yang, my name is Yang Xiaoxian, and she is my sister, called Yang Yue'er. The tall and thin girl pointed to the baby fat girl and said.
Xue Erliu on the side asked in surprise: "It turns out that you also use Han names." ”
"Well, the surnames of the Han and Miao ethnic groups have long been common, and we all speak Chinese, although we don't speak them well. Yang Xiaoxian nodded.
Xue Qizhen thought about it and said, "I remember, Yang, Wang, Li, Long, but the Miao surname near Jianhe County in southeast Guizhou, your surname is Yang, so the original Miao surname is 'Dulaou', right?"
"Yes, yes, Han grandfather, you know a lot. Sister Yang Yue'er smiled and nodded again.
Seriously, this baby fat Yang Yue'er, although she doesn't look as beautiful and temperamental as her sister Yang Xiaoxian, but after laughing, she is still quite cute, and she is really lively.
Then the two girls asked the names of Li Xun and the others, and Xue Qizhen did not hide it, and briefly introduced it.
Yang Yue'er couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, you guys are really powerful, look at Li Xun's bow, it's really an exaggeration, and the white wolf you brought is also a very rare beast, you must be a very powerful hunter." ”
She is different from ordinary girls, but she is not afraid of Lao Bai at all, and it seems that she is also a person who has seen a lot of beasts.
Li Xun watched from the side, listened to their conversation, just smiled and didn't interject.
Xue Qi is really old and sophisticated, and he seems to be chatting like this, but he is talking about key information, and judging the character of the two Miao girls at the same time, which is just difficult for people to notice.
He also said good things about the Miao people intentionally or unintentionally, which naturally increased the good impression of the two Miao girls towards them.
Soon, everyone came to the vicinity of Miao Village.
This Miao village is located on a small hillside, and the place where Li Xun and others found the bodies of the three agents yesterday happened to be near the high ground to the east of this Miao village.
The village is not big, and it looks like there are only 100 households.
Miao Village is built on the mountain, and most of them are wooden houses on two or three floors.
From the outside, this Miao village is not as poor and backward as imagined.
Li Xun and his entourage entered Miao Village, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the Miao people.
Especially Lao Bai, it seems that it is very popular in this Miao village, even some Miao children, are not afraid of Lao Bai at all, some of them are closer to look carefully, and there are more daring, want to touch Lao Bai's thighs, as if in front of them is not a tall and mighty white wolf, but a domestic white dog, it really makes Lao Bai depressed.
Not to mention that the Miao people were curious to watch, Li Xun and the others were actually quietly observing the surroundings.
When I arrived at the middle of Miao Village, there was a big square, but I saw a three-meter-high wooden statue erected in the middle.
The carving is a portrait, but this portrait is really strange, I saw that his face was large, occupying nearly half of the statue, his hands were on the ground, and the person was standing upside down, with his feet facing the sky.
This is really a strange posture, which instantly aroused everyone's curiosity.
Xue Erliu asked, "Second master, what kind of statue is this?"
Xue Qizhen explained softly: "This is an inverted statue of Zhang Wulang. ”
"Who is Zhang Wulang?"
"Zhang Wulang is the ancestor of the mountain safari in Miao Jiang, and has the title of 'God of Hunting', known as 'Zhang Wulang who turns over the altar', it seems that many of the Miao people in this Miao village are hunters. ”
Xue Qizhen finished speaking, and Yang Yue'er in front looked back with a smile and didn't speak.
She seemed to agree with Xue Qizhen's words.
Li Xun's attention was not on this statue of Zhang Wulang.
He noticed that next to the statue of Zhang Golang, there was also a strange wooden totem with a strange little insect carved in the totem.
Bugs are somewhat silkworm-like.
Seeing this totem clearly, Li Xun changed color slightly.
Speaking of the totems of the Miao people, Li Xun also knows a little, there are many totems worshiped by the Miao people, buffalo, wild boar, cattle, eagles, swallows, phoenixes, dogs, including some plants such as maple trees, bamboo, etc., will be the totems worshiped by the Miao people.
But I rarely hear that there are Miao people who worship insect totems.
Soon, Xue Qizhen also noticed this totem.
There was also a slight change in his face.
Li Xun saw the opportunity, took half a step behind, and asked softly, "What kind of totem is this?" Why do I look like that brain Gu worm, it just has no wings." ”
Xue Qizhen looked at the backs of the two Miao girls walking in front of him with complicated eyes, and said softly: "I've never seen such a strange totem before, why don't I pretend to be curious and ask them?"
Li Xun nodded.
These two Miao girls are still easy to talk to, so it's good to ask.
So Xue Qizhen took a few steps forward, cleared his throat, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I want to ask the two of you, what does this totem placed side by side with Zhang Wulang represent." ”
Yang Xiaoxian and Yang Yue'er were being pestered by Tanya to ask questions, and they looked back at Xue Qizhen with a smile.
Xue Qizhen smiled: "I'm just a little curious, in fact, I know a little about Miao Jiang, but I've never seen this kind of strange totem." ”
Yang Yue'er replied with a smile: "This totem represents the ancestors of our village, and we put it in the square and worship it from time to time, which means that we do not forget our ancestors." ”
Xue Qizhen wanted to ask more questions such as ancestors, but saw a group of Miao people hurrying over not far away.
One of the leaders is a middle-aged man, who looks quite majestic.
Looking closely, the faces and expressions of those Miao people were a little serious, and several of the young Miao people had gloomy faces.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Yang Xiaoxian shouted with a smile: "Abba is here." (To be continued.) )
