Chapter 304: Cloud Mountain Village
"Ahh
Along the way, Zhang Qixiang's shouting never stopped. When he arrived at his destination, he sat on the bamboo bench beside him tremblingly with Tong Hao's support, and his voice was hoarse.
"What's going on?" A fellow came over curiously and asked, Tong Hao looked up and replied in a dialect, to the effect that he didn't walk through the mountain road on a motorcycle, and was frightened.
"Mo Shi, Mo Shi, just pour him a bowl of rice wine. ”
The fellow was very enthusiastic to get the wine, and Tong Hao persuaded him.
"Fellow, I still have two friends waiting at the bottom of the mountain, can you help me watch him, I'll be back in an hour at most." ”
Although the conditions on the mountain are not good, but the people are simple, just this kid is weak, and the people in the mountains dare not touch him, for fear of breaking the people.
"Okay, wow. Go ahead, and I'll take him to the bridge and sit there, and it's better over there." ”
The fellow patted Zhang Qixiang in the past, and communicated with him in Mandarin with an obvious local accent.
Tong Hao moved the equipment and luggage hanging on the back door of the motorcycle to the edge of the covered bridge first, and rode down the mountain at a gallop.
The climate in the mountains is changeable, and dark clouds have begun to accumulate on the horizon, and it is impossible to tell when it will rain. The mountain roads are rugged, and the usual weather is not easy to walk, and the danger of rain increases exponentially.
The village chief knew that someone was coming, so he also let his son ride a motorcycle and follow Tong Hao to pick up people.
The two went down the mountain and found that Chen Yixin and Tong Yuezheng were chatting happily with the owner of the parking farmhouse.
The boss also showed Chen Yixin her embroidered bags and skirts.
The embroidery here is very exquisite, and basically every girl has a hand embroidery work. It's just that they are not as good at various patterns as the Han people, but multi-geometric shapes and layers of flowers.
Chen Yixin got a small purse from the boss, with a long strap, which can be fixed around the waist, and can be decorated with small items such as change keys and mobile phones.
Tong Yue already had a lot of these gadgets at home, so she specially worked as an assistant for Chen Yixin and took a lot of photos of embroidery.
The proprietress of the farmhouse is also from the village on the mountain, and she has been married to the mountain for many years, and she knows that they are going up the mountain, and she specially asked them to help bring some things up to her mother's family.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at the small mountain village before the mountain rain arrived.
"Our village is relatively large, with 1780 households, and the population was nearly 1,000 when it was large, and now it has a permanent population of more than 600 but less than 700. A lot of people have moved down the mountain, especially young people. Life in the mountains is too hard. ”
The village chief's son went home to work as a farmer after graduating from vocational high school at the foot of the mountain, occasionally collecting some mountain goods and selling them down the mountain, with a total annual income of 4,000 to 6,000.
In addition to his parents and grandparents, he has two younger brothers and a younger sister. He also has two children of his own, the eldest is ten years old and has not yet gone to school, and the younger one is only three years old.
"We used to have a school here where you could go up to junior high school. But now the number of students is not large, and then after the old teachers are gone, there are no new teachers who are willing to go to the mountains, so the school cannot continue. If you have a baby to study, you can only go to the school at the bottom of the mountain. You have to stay, it costs a lot of money, and the family can't afford it. ”
Chen Yixin didn't go to the platform to say that compulsory education must send children to school, and the actual difficulties of people are here, and it is not that it is impossible, but there is a sequence.
"The youngest brother is in college this year, and the family's income depends on him first. When he graduates, I'm going to let the eldest girl go to school, and at least be literate anyway, right? ”
led the four of them to their own bamboo building.
"There is little time for people to live on the third floor, but everything is clean. My dad got the call and asked my wife to clean up. You settle down first, see what is missing, and just tell my wife. ”
Pushing open the window, a light rain was pouring outside, and a mixture of mud and moisture from the mountains and forests came to my face.
Looking out of the window, there is a sea of forests.
The houses here are all built on the mountain, and the village chief's house is relatively high, and it is a three-story and one-bottom mixed structure of bamboo and wood house.
The room where Chen Yixin and Tong Yue live belongs to the back, and looking down from here, it is the cliff on the other side of the mountain wall. On the opposite side, Zhang Qixiang and Tong Hao's room looked out of the village road.
"There are a lot of bamboo weaving things in their village, and most of the utensils are related to bamboo. Like cups, bowls, etc., they are all made of bamboo. ”
Tong Yue had done her homework on this village in advance and knew a lot about it.
"And embroidery. As you can probably tell, they love black and dark blue, both men and women. Then the edges of the clothes are all hand-embroidered. The skirt hem and hem are generally made of square geometric patterns, and four or five colors of silk thread are matched. In terms of clothing, they advocate clouds, so they generally use auspicious cloud patterns. ”
Tong Yue pointed to a set of young woman's clothes on the other end of the room that was specially used to dry clothes and explained to Chen Yixin.
"This outfit should belong to the village chief's daughter-in-law, and the one with the small skirt over there belongs to his granddaughter. ”
Here the costumes of the girls who are married and those who are not married are different.
After getting married, women rarely wore skirts, but thick straight trousers. The knee-length dress, with colorful stripes in between, is exclusive to unmarried girls.
Including the headdress, the overall color of the married woman is darker, and the head of the pan has also changed from a room type to a round shape.
There is no special restriction on the pendant jewelry, and it is made according to the family situation. Those who have money have more inheritance, and there are more silver ornaments and gems nailed on them, and those who have no money at home only have a few simple pendants and then colored silk tapestry.
When the rain stopped at dusk, there was a rainbow in the sky.
The village, which was originally quiet in the rain, was a little more angry because of the movement of people.
Chen Yixin couldn't understand the words of the locals, and even Tong Yue couldn't understand it, so he could only say a few simple words of greeting.
The village chief's daughter-in-law came up and told them to come down to eat.
The village chief's family killed a chicken and a rabbit tonight and made a table of dishes.
But the only people who can serve the table are the village chief's father and his son, and even the village chief's aunt and wife are not qualified to serve the table, but leave another dish to eat in the stove house next door.
Zhang Qixiang wanted to ask, but was secretly stopped by Chen Yixin.
It's their first day as a guest, so it's better not to have much to do. Looking at Tong Hao and Tong Yue's expressions, it should be a normal situation, if you don't understand, it's safer to ask first.
"Village Chief, just now Tong Yue told me that your bamboo weaving and bamboo carving here are very famous, can you let us shoot some materials?"
They came in the name of understanding the national culture, and the requirement to shoot a short film could not be more normal.
"Okay, there's not enough time tonight, they won't do it at night. Tomorrow morning, I will ask my youngest son to take you to his grandfather. His grandfather's craftsmanship is unique to us. ”
Tong Yue tilted her head to explain to Chen Yixin that the grandfather in the village chief's mouth was referring to his father-in-law, his son's grandfather.
I ate a meal very happily, and even Zhang Qixiang, a picky guy, wanted to stand still until the end.
