Chapter 5: Bonfires
Kudao Lake is a rare big lake in the mountains, although the program team has not yet arrived at the destination, but has arrived at the Kudao Lake, this lake is called the mother lake by the locals, it is very strange to read in the language of the Dulong people, and Qi Gong is also translated into Chinese.

The lake water is very clean, at least you can see a meter or two of water, which is already very surprising, generally the reservoir can see half a meter can be advertised, get a farmer spring or something, we don't produce water, we are just nature's porters.
Phoenix Island is in the lake, surrounded by water on three sides, sometimes when you encounter rising water or something, it is surrounded by water on all sides, but now it is not the season of rising water, you can see the smoke slowly drifting up from afar, and the village on the water seems so mysterious.
There are only two roads to Phoenix Island, one is the land that can only be seen when the water is not rising, and the other is a stone bridge standing on the cliff, the stone bridge is hundreds of years old, and it is in the middle of this big mountain, the bridge is overgrown with creepers, I am really worried about when he will collapse.
The island is not very big, from one end to the other, it takes less than half an hour to walk in a straight line, there are thousands of people living on it, all of them are Dulong clan, the structure of the house is all wooden, Luo Jin has also seen it in the TV series, it looks good now, and the wood exudes a very good smell.
The road is paved with bluestone slabs, most of the children are playing on the street in small pants, and it is rare to see the stalls selling them, after all, there are not many people here, and the only grocery store that can be regarded as a grocery store is opened by Qi Gong's family, so Qi Gong has to go out to buy goods in two or three months.
Qi Gong is still leading the way in front, and the temporary residence of the program team is in his home.
"Let's stay in my house today, I told my family yesterday that you are all welcome, and I guess you are ready now." Gon said happily.
Although they are ashamed to see the living, they are very interested in distant guests. They often regard the number of guests in their homes as a sign of their character.
On the way, someone in the program team took the initiative to invite them to their home to be guests, and they were very enthusiastic.
Qi Gong's home is in the north of the village, and he needs to cross the entire village, Luo Jin almost felt that the entire village people came out to see them, and he was a little nervous for a while.
Phoenix Island is the largest village of the Dulong tribe, and Luo Jin prefers to call it a village, because it is too exotic and different from the outside world.
The girls in the program group brought some candy, and when they saw the children, they distributed some, and the camera was busy collecting materials everywhere, the architectural flavor here is unique, and it must be beautiful to shoot.
"Then I'm bothering you." Lu Tao said.
"No trouble, no trouble, our Dulong people are very hospitable, everyone is very happy, it has been a long time since so many people have come together." Gon shook his head and said.
The road is too difficult to walk, it is difficult to find without locals, and they do not agree to build a tourist area, and the tourism bureau will naturally not bother to build a road here.
It costs a lot of money.
Before he could say anything, everyone knew that the house in front of them was his, because a cute little Lori ran and jumped in Angel's arms at the door.
"Daddy."
He picked up little Lori, laughed and said, "Dina, don't make trouble, there are guests at home." ”
Little Lori winked and said, "Hello uncles and aunts." ”
Luo Jin scratched his head, 21 years old is no longer young.
Zhu Luye gently pinched Little Lori's face, and laughed and teased.
The others followed him into the house, where there were some handicrafts that could not be seen from the outside, and there were four people in the house, the mother, daughter-in-law, and daughter.
Don't ask why there are only three, the last one is, of course, Magon himself.
Luo Jin is actually very strange, the women here, when they are a little older, they will have tattoos on their faces, and most of their faces are fine and dense, how dare they marry if they have dense phobia.
"Professor, do you know what's going on?"
Luo Jin was very puzzled, so he went directly to ask Professor Huo.
"This is a tradition of the Dulong clan, but it has been abolished for more than 20 years, so young people nowadays will not have the habit of tattooing their faces."
The dish is a very common home-cooked food, everyone didn't eat much, they were all looking forward to the fireworks show in the evening, Qi Gong had already told them, the sacrifice in the village would host the evening party was the village chief in the village, Luo Jin felt that it was inappropriate to call the owner of the village, a bit like the king of the mountain.
Then it's the professor's time, asking about the current situation of the nation, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, what you need, whether there will be any difficulties in the mountains or something, it feels a bit like a leader caring for a veteran, and then it is faithfully recorded by the camera.
After chatting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Qi Gong got up and said, "Let's go, the fireworks have risen." ”
The stockade is not very large, and if you look out, there is indeed a fire shining on the north side, and it is flashing and flashing, and you will never see such a scene in the city.
Luo Jin was very excited, it was the first time in two lifetimes to participate in the bonfire party, and there was a strong curiosity and joy.
"So what are you waiting for, let's go." Zhang Bao cheered and was the first to rush out of the house.
The professor sighed at Zhang Bao, this kid has never let him worry, he is still the same as a child when he is so old.
"Let's go too, I'll take you to meet the village chief." The village chief mentioned by Qi Gong is the sacrifice here, and there is one sacrifice in every village of the Dulong tribe, and most of them serve as the village head.
Luo Jin was the second to run out, he didn't go to see the sacrifice with the professor, he was also a young man in the end, and he was very happy to meet the novelty, followed by his sister Zhu Luye, holding the baby daughter of Qi Gong, Dina.
In the back were two staff members with cameras, Zhang Bao ran too fast, they didn't react, they had to follow Luo Jin and them.
The bonfire party is held on a platform outside the village, more than ten minutes away from here, along the way you can just enjoy the scenery inside the village, the people here are really not closed at night, the granary is built behind the house, there is no door.
And I heard them talk about it just now, when the Dulong people go out of the house, they usually divide the dry food into several portions, hang them on the trees, and wait for them to eat when they return home, and no matter how hungry the others are, they will never take food without permission. Even clothes and other items can be placed on the side of the road anytime and anywhere, and as long as a stone is pressed on it, it means that it is the owner's object and no one else will pick it up.
"The Dulong clan is too upright, what if the liar comes here." Zhu Luye said, girls just think too much.
"What kind of liar would come here? There is nothing of value in the stockade, it is all self-sufficient. ”
Luo Jin replied, the two were chatting, and they had already walked to the scene of the fireworks show.
The voice is getting noisier and louder, and the Dulong clan is hospitable, which can be seen from their reception of Luo Jin and his party, and now there are eighty percent of the people in the village here, from the small milk baby to the grandparents.
I don't know what the fireworks are made of, the flames are flying high, and Zhang Bao is in the closest place to the fireworks, singing music with the young people that he doesn't understand.
Zhu Luye looked disgusted, and Luo Jin was eager to try, because the circle of people were dancing and singing around the fireworks hand in hand, and most of them were young girls.
"Hooligans." Zhu Luye said.
In the distance of the flame was the place where everyone chatted and drank, and the stone tables were full of fresh fruits, all of which were from the nearby mountains, which had just been picked from the trees today, and they were very fresh.
"What ...... to open the house"
A voice full of alcohol came from behind, and patted Luo Jin on the back by the way.
Turning around suspiciously, a two-meter-tall man raised his wine glass and smiled at Luo Jin, he had three scars on his face, which looked quite scary.
However, Luo Jin soon saw that this was the scratch of a wild beast, and this person must be a well-known man in the village.
I don't know what he said, but the gestures are universal.
Luo Jin also smiled, took the wine glass from his left hand, and said loudly.
"him."
