Chapter 98: A Trip to Miao Village
Guizhou Province. Southeast.
At the foot of the moon mountain, where the clouds and mountains are covered with fog and the environment is beautiful, there are five Miao villages distributed in the vast forest, which is the Miao Village that once attracted the attention of the world.
There are only a few hundred households in Miao Village, although it is far less famous than Qianhu Miao Village, Lei Gong Miao Village, Jiali Miao Village, etc., but it is known as the "last gunman tribe under the sun" in the world, and it is also the last tribe in China that is allowed to legally hold guns.
The people worship trees, the village is full of towering ancient trees, and they never cut down trees indiscriminately; the people of Lansha still retain the custom of shaving their heads with a sickle as a sign of their hair buns...... Therefore, the ancient tree, the musket, and the bun are called the Three Treasures of the Sand.
Legend has it, the ancestor of the Miao people has three sons, the people of Lansha are the descendants of the third son, when the Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, led the tribe to the southwest of 10,000 miles, the ancestors of the Miao village of Lansha are the vanguard of the great migration - one of the Jiuli tribe, they open the mountain and split the road, the fierce battle of the bear, the bravery, and finally survived in the Miao village of Lansha.
Legend has it that the couch bun is the oldest male hairstyle that can be seen in China so far, and the costume of the Lansha people is almost exactly the same as that of the samurai of the island country, so there have been island peoples and folklorists who have come to the island country to find their roots, believing that the Lansha people are the ancestors of the island people.
At this moment, as the sun set, Tang Mo and a Miao old man, Paulion, were trekking hard among the boundless ancient trees.
Tang Mo went to Miaozhai in Sha Miao Village in order to find "Timo Makawi" ice plum wine.
Two days ago, when he was lying on the big bed in the imperial capital rental house and remembered the ice plum wine, he made up his mind to find it and excavate it, so that it could be known to the world and let it play its due value, instead of being buried in the deep mountains and old forests.
Because of Bingmei Wine, he even pushed the selection of suppliers such as rice, oil, and salt directly to Li Duoduo, and asked him not to choose, and directly went to talk to the brands that Dandan Restaurant had been using before.
In this regard, Li Duoduo's identity has a natural advantage, he doesn't need to do anything or say anything, as long as he mentions Mrs. Li a little, or reveals a little bit about the origin of Li Kua's father's family, the suppliers will be restrained when they think about it, and they don't dare to play any tricks on quality, plus the consumption of ten branches is definitely a lot, and it shouldn't be a big problem to get a preferential price.
That night, he booked a plane to southeast Guizhou and left the imperial capital overnight.
Because of the time relationship, he couldn't take care of going home, so he didn't even tell his parents about returning to Guizhou Province, so as to save them from muttering, but plunged directly into Bazaar Miao Village.
Six years ago, Tang Mo drank ice plum wine in Bazaar Miao Village.
According to Tang Mo's expectations, when the ice plum wine appeared in the celebration of Bazaar Miao Village, there must have been many people in Miao Village who knew about it, but when he really arrived at the place, he found that no one knew about the ice plum wine, and no one knew about Timo Ma Kawi.
After asking around, Tang Mo was disappointed and found out that the ice plum wine used in the village came from an unnamed village that was even more remote and primitive than Lansha Miao Village, and that village was on the other side of Moon Mountain, a more isolated place.
Tang Mo was determined to find the ice plum wine, so he spent three times the price, hired Paulion, who was familiar with Chinese, as a guide, and hurried towards the nameless village without stopping.
"No, doll, Allah should rest!"
Although Paulion has always lived in the mountains, his leg strength and physical strength are by no means comparable to those in the city, but after all, he is an elderly person, and he can't bear it after driving more than ten kilometers.
"Ah Weng, don't worry, let's drink some water, rest for a while and then leave!"
Tang Mo opened the kettle he was carrying and handed it to Paulion, and glanced at the musket that he never left his side: "I'm younger, or if you give me the gun, I'll help you carry it!"
"No, no, no, doll, the musket is the honor and symbol of our men, the gun does not leave people, people do not leave the gun, and the government now has a rule that our guns cannot be handed over to outsiders casually!"
Paulion rejected Tang Mo's proposal without hesitation, and after taking a sip of water, he found a stone pier and sat down: "Doll, you came thousands of miles to Bazaar Miao Village, and you wanted to find ice plum wine, what is it for?"
"Ah Weng, you just don't believe it, I just opened a restaurant, I have food, but I lack something to drink, I think ice plum wine is very suitable, so I want to put it in my store to sell!"
Tang Mo was a little speechless, Paulion was good at everything, and he was not as wary of outsiders as some Miao people, but he was always suspicious of his own search for ice plum wine, and seemed to want to find something else.
"Oh, the people in the city have sodas, cola, drinks, and the stuff in our ravines?"
Paulion smacked his lips in disbelief.
"Ah Weng, not all the things in the city are good, for example, the sky is not as blue as ours, and the air is not as good as ours, such as drinking, I think the ice plum wine is very good, which is not comparable to any soda and cola!"
Tang Mo explained, looked up at the sky, as far as his eyes could see, the sunset had already descended under the treetops, and he couldn't help but ask: "Ah Weng, can we walk out of this deep forest before dark and reach the nameless village?"
"It's difficult!"
Paulion shook his head and hammered his old waist: "I have never been to the side of Moon Mountain, and I have only heard of the nameless village you are going to, if it weren't for your big money, I wouldn't want to go!"
Speaking of this, seeing Tang Mo's face stiffened, he thought that he was unhappy, so he patted the musket in his hand again and added: "But it's okay, we Lansha people have long been used to spending the night in the mountains and forests, and with my musket here, you don't have to worry!"
"Ah Weng, do we still have wild things in the mountains now, such as wolves, tigers, and so on!"
Tang Mo tilted his head, he was not unhappy in his heart, but heard some strange movements and sounds.
The sound was "da, da, da" three soft sounds at first, a bit like tapping allegro on TV, and then it was like a "rustle", maybe Borion didn't hear it when he was old, but Tang Mo heard it very clearly.
"Doll, what do you want?"
Paulion was a little strange: "I heard the ancestors say before, there are indeed tigers in Moon Mountain, there are many tigers in Guizhou Province, and it was also the hometown of the South China tiger, but that is the old story of decades ago, now the tiger is a national protected animal, it has long been extinct, as for the wolf, it is true that the wolf howl is occasionally heard, but they are all lone wolves, not to mention us, it is the twelve or thirteen-year-old dolls in the village, there is a musket or a flashlight in hand, no one will be afraid, rest assured!"
