Xu saw that Han people entered the village, and many people stood in front of their houses, quietly looking at the poplars and iron bulls.

Bai Yang found that most of the men's clothes were similar to those of the old man Feng Xiang, with black turbans wrapped around their heads and embroidered lace on their clothes.

And the women's clothes are much brighter.

However, the vast majority of men and women are barefoot and bare-legged, like the old man Feng Xiang, who wears shoes and dresses more well-dressed, and there is only the chief steward who brought them in.

Ascend to a flat mountain nest.

There is an exceptionally tall bamboo building in the mountain nest, the lower floor of the bamboo building is supported by round thick wood, and the upper floor is also made of bamboo mixed with wood.

Poplar doesn't need to guess to know that this must be the patriarch's house.

As for the witch doctor with a higher status, he shouldn't live so gorgeously.

There was also a sturdy-looking young man standing in front of the bamboo building, with a big knife in his waist, which looked like a guard.

It is said that in such an extremely closed Miao village, the authority of the patriarch is unquestionable, and there is no need for a guard to stand guard at all, and it is estimated that this guard only represents the prestige and identity of the patriarch.

The chief steward turned around, told Bai Yang and Tie Niu to wait outside the door in Chinese, and he walked into the bamboo building by himself.

Two of his entourage bowed at the sturdy guard outside the bamboo building, and the guard looked up at them, but did not return the salute, just glared at Poplar Tie Niu and Brother Miao with their eyes.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the chief steward to come out again and beckon to Poplar and the others.

Brother Miao hurriedly nodded and walked into the bamboo building, while Poplar Tie Niu followed behind him.

When I entered the door, I saw that the layout of the furnishings in the house was very different from that of the Han people, and many of the furniture were made of bamboo and wood.

A slightly obese middle-aged man sits on a large bamboo couch and snorts a hookah.

Seeing that he was gorgeously dressed, and even the headscarf he was wearing on his head was very different from the others, Bai Yang naturally understood that this must be the patriarch, and he was busy making eye contact with Tie Niu, and the brothers were slightly hunched and stood behind Brother Miao and did not dare to make a sound.

When the patriarch puffed out a puff of smoke, the chief steward came close and replied in Miao.

The patriarch raised his head and glanced at Poplar and the others.

Brother Miao lowered his waist more and more, said a few words to the patriarch in Miao language, and then turned around and instructed Bai Yang and Tie Niu: "Quickly take out the gift for Miao Village!"

Poplar Iron Bull hurriedly unloaded his backpack, took out the prepared gifts from his backpack, and took two steps forward with both hands.

The patriarch glanced at them, but he was not very interested, but said: "I have a heart, since you have come, let's stay first! As for where to live......

He said this in Chinese. Although his Chinese is slightly worse than that of the chief steward, with a strange taste, he is still fluent.

So Bai Yang and Tie Niu couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard it, and they didn't know where the patriarch would arrange them to live, when suddenly a crisp voice said: "Dad, our house is so spacious, so we will arrange to live in our house!"

This is also said in Chinese, as if he deliberately wanted to make Poplar Tie Niu understand.

Poplar Tie Niu turned his head to look, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl running down the stairs on the side.

The girl was dressed in extraordinary luxury, with bright silver ornaments on her head, and a yellow-orange red gold collar weighing at least a pound around her neck.

She is dressed in a unique national costume, bright but not kitsch. Lined with her snow-white skin and pretty facial features, she is really as bright and bright as a colorful phoenix.

Tie Niu looked a little dazed, and Bai Yang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, seeing that the girl's eyes were hot projected, Bai Yang suddenly thought of what Brother Miao had explained before, and he was alert in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look more.

The patriarch said a word in Miao language, and listening to his tone, there was a hint of pampering in it, as if he was reproaching the girl for not running downstairs recklessly.

The girl pouted, and when she came to the patriarch, she still said in Chinese: "Dad, our house is so big, and it is empty all day, and finally two guests came, although they are Han Chinese, but Han people also have good and bad people! And they are writers, just stay at home, I can listen to their stories in my spare time!"

When she said this, she twisted her body and said, "Anyway, I don't care, if Dad arranges for them to live elsewhere, then I will go out to live in the next few days!"

"Okay, okay, I've spoiled you!" the patriarch was helpless.

Xu heard that his daughter had been speaking Chinese, and he also followed suit.

The girl was overjoyed, and raised her head again, and looked at the poplar and the iron ox.

Tie Niu naturally smiled at the girl, but Poplar kept his eyes down and didn't look at the girl.

The patriarch turned around and gave a second word to the chief steward, who said yes and exited the door.

After that, the patriarch said a few words of Miao to Brother Miao.

Brother Miao nodded again and again, and glanced at the poplar iron cow.

Poplar Tie Niu hurriedly bowed to the patriarch, gently put the gift he had been holding on the ground, and followed Brother Miao backwards.

"Didn't you say you wanted to stay with us at the patriarch's house, why did you come out again?" As soon as Fang went out, Tie Niu asked in a low voice.

"I want to keep you in the patriarch's house, but I didn't say that I want to stay!" Brother Miao said, suddenly laughing, "I see, the patriarch's daughter has fallen in love with one of you!"

"I see she's in love with Lao Bai!" said Tie Niu.

Baiyang also felt the same way, and couldn't help but scratch his head and ask Brother Miao: "What should we do?"

"The patriarch has already spoken, even if you want to leave, you can't leave for the time being, otherwise you won't give the patriarch face, and the patriarch will turn his face immediately!" Brother Miao shook his head, "So you, you can only strictly abide by the rules, not only to make the little girl die, but also to make the little girl sad!"

Poplar felt so stressed that he could only ask, "What about you, won't you leave today?"

"You don't have to leave today!" Brother Miao shook his head, "The patriarch just said, let the chief steward arrange for me to stay in the village tonight, and send me out of the village early tomorrow morning." So, I'm sure I can't stay with you all the time. ”

"Then what should we do?" Poplar was a little anxious, "My friend never went back to this village before, and we both ...... Won't you be able to go back?"

"Then I don't know! You want to know about your friend's situation, so you can only stay and inquire slowly!" Brother Miao said.

Poplar looked at Tie Niu, Tie Niu smiled and said, "I don't care, anyway, it's not me that girl has a crush on me!"

"Then you're still not a brother!" Poplar was a little annoyed.

"It's brother, but I can't replace you with this kind of thing, right?" Iron Bull scratched his head innocently.

Bai Yang was helpless, and was thinking about what to do, when suddenly a woman walked out of the bamboo building and said something in Miao language.

Bai Yang and Tie Niu were waiting for Brother Miao to translate, when the beautiful girl suddenly walked out of the door and said with a smile: "This is my aunt, she has been taking care of me at home since my mother died." You can call her Aunt Yun, but she doesn't speak Chinese, so you can only talk to me and my brother if you have something. ”

She paused here and said, "Aunt Yun just said that the rooms of the two distinguished guests have been prepared, please go upstairs to rest!"

Poplar and Tie Niu looked at each other and could only thank each other.

Just as he was about to say one more word to Brother Miao, the chief steward came out of nowhere and said a word to Brother Miao in Miao language.

Brother Miao nodded again and again, and said to Baiyang Tieniu: "I'm going to follow the chief steward to live in other homes, you guys are careful in everything." ”

He didn't wait for Poplar Iron Bull to agree, and he wanted to leave with the chief steward.

Poplar suddenly remembered the reward he had promised him, and hurriedly called out, while taking out his wallet and counting out a hundred yuan for him.

Brother Miao smiled and thanked Bai Yang, and then happily followed behind the chief steward.

"It seems that you writers are quite rich among you Han Chinese?" said the girl with a smile.

"Of course writers are rich, but it's a pity that I'm not a writer, I'm just one of his bodyguards!" Tie Niu said with a smile, leaving himself clean first.

Poplar was angry, and he couldn't attack the iron bull, so he could only try to stay cold, and said to the girl: "I'm not a writer, let alone a rich man!

"That's what it means, isn't it?" the girl smiled, "My name is ...... The name of our Miao people is not very easy for you Han people to call, so you can just call me Yuzhu, it is the Han name I gave myself!"

"Yuzhu, sure enough, the person is as his name suggests, the name is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful!"

He praised it so directly in front of girls, which was very rare in those days.

But Yuzhu smiled and said: "I didn't expect you Han people to speak so well, I thought you Han people were very old-fashioned, just like this writer!"

"He's very old-fashioned, so he's a man who is about to get married, but he hasn't even touched his fiancée's hand!" Tie Niu said with a smile.

"Fiancée, he already has a fiancée?" Yuzhu's face changed.
