Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Welcome Banquet
Although Yunnan is far away from the magic capital, it doesn't take long because of the plane, and it has arrived in Linyi City at noon, and everyone has taken the bus that the recording team has contacted in advance to go to Nanyu Village in Zhenkang County. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When you leave the city and step into the suburbs, you will be surrounded by mountains and trees, and you will see tall green trees, and this road will open up in the middle of this mountain forest.
Hou Yi opened the car window and sniffed the smell outside the window, the air was very pure, it was summer, the temperature here was a little higher than that of the magic capital, it was in a subtropical climate, the air conditioning had been turned on in the car, and the camera team started talking in twos and threes, most of them were excited about the first recording.
"It may rain tomorrow, so we need to go into the ditch today and find a good place." Hou Yi looked at the sky for a while, and then looked at the surrounding trees, the humidity of the leaves increased a little, and at the same time, spiders weaving webs could be seen in the forest.
"I'll see." Wang Jian turned on his mobile phone to verify Hou Yi's statement, and simultaneously located the local address, and sure enough, the weather forecast was that there would be moderate rain turning to heavy rain tomorrow.
"You kid must have peeked at the weather forecast in advance." Wang Jian looked at Hou Yi unbelievably.
Hou Yi smiled, didn't speak, just stared out the window silently, at this time he felt a different kind of throbbing, such green, such a mountain, it is indeed a good place.
Looking at Hou Yi who was addicted to the window, Wang Jian cut and turned to chat with Song De, Wu Jun opened the laptop in his hand and didn't know what he was tinkering with, Yan Yiwen began to close his eyes as early as he got into the car to deal with the next survival challenges.
When the vehicle enters the bumpy mountain road, the car begins to quiet down, and when it enters the mountain road, it means that it is time to reach the destination, and everyone is either nervous or expectant.
After driving for a while, the local person in charge of leading the way came from the passenger seat and shouted: "The road ahead is not working, you have to go down and walk more than a kilometer, everyone get out of the car and walk with me." ”
The driver opened the front and rear doors, although everyone was a little dissatisfied, but they still didn't say anything, after all, it is a remote area, and it is understandable that the road conditions are really bad, Hou Yi said at this time: "If we succeed this time, build a gravel road for the people here, and use my bonus to say about one, a stone road of about one kilometer." ”
"How can I let you come, I'll come, this place really needs support, we Tengyue happens to have a branch in the county here, and I'll organize it when the time comes." Yan Yiwen patted his chest and said boldly.
Song De on the side nodded, although he hadn't seen Hou Yi's ability, but his nature could be seen in these places, and he was much more enthusiastic about Hou Yi.
Taking down the video equipment in the car and the logistics items of the staff, Hou Yi walked behind the tour guide with two big bags alone, Wang Jian also tried to take two, but he almost folded his waist, so he had to walk unwillingly with a medium bag, which made Song De, who was holding a big bag, laugh at him.
It was not a kilometer long, and everyone had just a little respite before they arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain, where smoke was rising, and it was now noon, and many families were cooking.
When the group came to the entrance of the village, they thought that the white-haired old man was standing there with the support of two young people with a cane, wearing the traditional costume of the Yi nationality, with bright colors and many silver ornaments.
This is the local who led the team and talked to the village chief in the local dialect, pointing to Hou Yi from time to time, the old village chief nodded, and motioned for a young man who was supporting him to step forward.
"Hello, my name is Aga, the second grandson of the village chief, you can enter the village with me." The young man came over and shook hands with Wu Jun, who was at the front, speaking standard Mandarin.
"Oh, you know Chinese?" Wang Jian asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, I'm a college graduate." The young man named Aga said with a smile, and at the same time guided Hou Yi and his party into the village.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw a row of tables and chairs in the open space in the center of the village, and several men wearing Yi costumes were standing there with cattle and sheep. ”
After speaking, they took Hou Yi to the cattle and sheep to watch, Hou Yi looked at the cattle and sheep being led, and nodded, they are all good seeds fed with mountain grass and wild fruits, and their bodies are solid.
After confirming that everyone had seen it, a few strong men took the cattle and sheep away and took them to slaughter and entertain the guests, and at the same time Aga guided Hou Yi and his party to sit down with the big table, and at the same time, some Yi women brought some sand cans and teacups, and put a sand pot and teacup in front of each person, and slowly withdrew, and the village chief sat on the side of Hou Yi in front of him, pointed to the teacup in front of Hou Yi, and signaled Hou Yi to drink tea.
Hou Yi nodded, poured tea and drank it one by one, the village chief smiled and nodded, while motioning for the others to drink tea as well.
Just when everyone was drinking tea, a few men came to the side carrying charcoal and firewood, and lit a fire in a dirt pit not far from the table. ”
Hou Yi nodded, and after watching the men start a fire, he dropped a cauldron with a lid on the fire with a wooden pole. At the same time, some young Yi girls dressed in colorful traditional costumes came to the fire and began to dance traditional dances.
"This is one of our customs, which means to protect the fire and worship the fire, and at the same time to give the guests some ornamentation during the banquet. ”
Hou Yi nodded, the traditional ethnic group is different, although his own ethnic group has the same sound as the Yi nationality, but there is nothing else, that is, after hunting, he will invite all the passers-by who know or don't know to share it together. How concise, how realistic.
At this time, Hou Yi began to chat with Aga , mainly asking some questions about Nanyu Dagou, and at the same time vaguely hinting at the relationship between some giant pythons.
"Actually, I don't want you to go into the big ditch, after all, it's too dangerous there, and our people will also go to the big ditch, but only look for some fungi and herbs in the mountains on the side, and hunt some more docile herbivores, the terrain of the big ditch is too complicated, and there are many snakes and insects, you had better consider it." Agar dissuaded uneasily.
Hou Yi smiled and said: "I am also a minority, the same as your Yi people, I am also a descendant, but I am a descendant, our race is a special hunting race, this kind of mountains, forests and wilderness is where we live, so it's no problem." ”
Aga glanced at Hou Yi in surprise, then looked at some of the muscles exposed by the latter's T-shirt, and nodded: "Then you have to be careful, there are too many of you, although the beasts may be jealous, but poisonous snakes and mosquitoes don't care, so when you leave, you can bring some special spices from us, which are all ground herbs, which can avoid snakes and insects." ”
Hou Yi nodded and thanked him, and at the same time discussed with Wu Jun that he would get more later, but he needed to give money. Wu Jun also nodded, in terms of budget, because there are two big bosses, it is not a problem.
While everyone was drinking tea, chatting, or enjoying the dance, several men came up with several large cauldrons and placed them on the table, while some women also came with large bowls of wine jars, each with a large bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and at the same time lifted the pot, revealing one of the pots of boiled meat.
"Come and try our lump meat, the taste will definitely satisfy you." Because only Ajia can speak Mandarin present, Ajia explained and introduced some Yi customs to everyone throughout the whole process.
After getting the village chief's signal, Hou Yi picked up a huge piece of meat, the fat and thick piece of meat exuded a steaming hot and tempting meat fragrance, Hou Yi didn't care about the hot mouth, and took a bite directly, full of meat juice burst out in the air, Hou Yi's eyes expanded, and he felt extremely satisfied with one bite.
Wang Jian saw that Hou Yi ate very deliciously, and he also picked up a piece, and bit it directly with his mouth, but he was so hot that he almost jumped up.
"Are you a tease invited by the monkeys?" Song De struck without hesitation, and the Yi men, women and girls standing on the side all looked at Wang Jian with a smile, and the scene was extremely harmonious for a while.
As soon as I tasted this lump of meat, a Yi woman came up to pour wine for everyone, and at the same time, the village chief raised the wine bowl in his hand to signal everyone to drink, and some men and women in the team who did not drink were a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Although Wu Jun smiled, his tone was very serious: "Give me everything." ”
The leader spoke, and these people who didn't drink could only pick up the wine bowl, drink the wine in the bowl with a smile and the village chief, and their faces were red for a while, and their expressions were weird.
The village chief watched everyone drink, smiled with satisfaction, and motioned for everyone to start eating. At the same time, the Yi women on the side began to serve meals for everyone, Hou Yi did not let the Yi women serve meals for themselves, but poured a bowl of wine and drank it with the village chief, and the people around him did not stop it, just looked at Hou Yi with a smile, and seemed to be very relieved about the elderly village chief.
But soon the people around him were not so calm, Hou Yi and the village chief drank a jar of wine after a while, and the village chief's face was a little red, this is Ah Jia hurriedly stepped forward to support the village chief, and at the same time glanced at Hou Yi.
Hou Yi and the village chief glanced at each other, laughed, the village chief gave Hou Yi a thumbs up and nodded, Hou Yi shook his head humbly, and gave a thumbs up to the village chief, both of them felt each other's enthusiasm and boldness, and there was a feeling of forgetting the New Year's friend.
The lunch was very pleasant, everyone was full of wine and food, everyone had a smile on their faces, the hospitality of the Yi people made them feel the great integration of ethnic groups, the feeling of a family of all ethnic groups, and Hou Yi also chatted with the village chief very happily in Ajia.
Wu Jun stood up at this time, took out a small bag and handed it to Aga: "Don't open it for the time being, open it when we leave, it's a gift." Ah Jia didn't refuse, so he accepted it, after all, a small bag should not be too precious a gift, nor too heavy, maybe some specialties or something.
When everyone had almost eaten, and after greeting the people who participated in the banquet of the Yi tribe, they began to evacuate, and the village chief took Ajia to bring a half-filled snakeskin bag at this time: "This is insect repellent powder, you take it, be careful all the way, and withdraw quickly in case of danger." Aga spoke, and at the same time handed the bag in his hand to Hou Yi, and at the same time took a pack of cigarettes and a kettle from the woman next to him.
"This is a gift from my grandfather, take it, I heard that you are the host of this camera, grandpa told you to be careful of the beasts in the mountains, although he knows that you are a hunter, but still let you protect yourself, remember to come here again when you come back." Aga handed the thing to Hou Yi, who took it with a smile, thanked the old village chief, and at the same time took out a pendant from the backpack that Sui Sheng: "Aga, tell your grandfather, this is the talisman of our race, symbolizing courage and health." ”
At the same time, he handed the pendant in his hand to the old village chief, the village chief took it, looked at a tooth hanging on the pendant, and Hou Yi said with a smile: "This is the tiger's tooth, my trophy." ”
The old village chief heard Aga's translation, gave a thumbs up to Hou Yi, and said at the same time: "The road of the Le clan coffee." Although Hou Yi didn't understand, he could probably guess that it meant that the road was safe.
Finally, he shook hands with the old village chief, and the group set off with the local guide, and when everyone walked away, Aga opened the gift bag given by Wu Jun, which contained a stack of cash, about 50,000 yuan, as well as a certificate and a small note. Aga held the certificate, which read: "With this certificate, you can go to the communication and television lines in the town and install digital television for the whole village for free for ten years." ”
Aga talked to the old village chief about these gifts, but the village chief smiled and did not speak, but returned to the village with the people who had come out of the village to see them off, and the small mountain village was calm again.
