Shimen is in Hunan Province, Hunan Province is in Jingchu Province, and Jingchu Province is in the south-central part of Xiazhou.

Xia Guoli has been in China for 90 years, and there are 36 provinces in the world, with a vast territory, rich resources and a large population.

The population density of Xiangzhou is relatively small. The line between the city and the mountains is clear. The east is developed, the west is backward. It is full of pristine landscapes that have lasted for tens of millions of years and villages that have inherited ancient customs.

This mountain is called Xiangxi, and Shimen is the gateway to Xiangxi.

"Didi!"

On a winding mountain road, an old car is slowly moving. Xiaozhai turned the steering wheel, suddenly pressed the horn, and then stepped on the foot brake.

"Trouble!"

Gu Shi was also very helpless, pushed the door and walked down, driving away a bamboo chicken parked on the road. Bamboo chickens despise them very much. "Flat tank" and "flat tank" shouted a few times and flew to the low stones.

"You think everything is elegant and not afraid of people!" he returned to the car, not muttering.

"If you think too much, you'll be fine. "Xiaozhai Road.

"Tsk!"

Wengu Zaba lowered his mouth and said nothing.

No way.

When they arrived at the stone gate, they discovered a very sad fact that the aura concentration here was only 1. Oh no, that's right, in the middle of 1-2.

There will only be nodes when the periphery reaches 2, suggesting that there may be no anomalies in Hubian Mountain.

But since I'm here, I have to go check it out, or I'm not going to give up. The traffic in Shimen is very inconvenient. There are only two minibuses a day from the county seat to the village. They missed the time, and if they wanted to go, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

The two didn't want to waste it, so they rented a broken car and went there themselves.

As a result, once we're on the road, we don't know how bad reality is. When the wrecked car fell into the mountains, it immediately turned into a kind of street diving without any route or end.

If you go on like this, you can find a place to live before dark.

"Didi!"

Xiaozhai opened another district, turned a corner, and suddenly sounded again. However, on the road ahead, a girl in special clothes walked slowly.

She smiled back and waved.

Xiaozhai stopped in front and listened to her speak a little Mandarin. "I'm going to the stockade in front. Can you give me a ride?"

"Yes, come up. ”

"Thank you!"

She got on the bus and sat in the back seat. The small bell around her waist rang loudly, which drew the sideways glances of the two men. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, fair-skinned, with a silver comb on her head, a dress with a large collar without buttons, blue trousers, and a strange bug embroidered on the cuff.

Wen Gu meowed a few insects, and asked with a smile, "Are you from Miao Village?"

"Well, from here over a mountain, another river, is our stockade. I went shopping in town today and came back late. Nice to meet you......"

This little girl is very lively. Balabala made a speech and added, "Oh, by the way, my Chinese name is Long Tang, and the Miao surname is Gaomber." ”

"What?" the two of them were stunned.

"ghobmiel," she repeated.

This time I understood that the homonym could be the word "qi". There are 12 Miao branches in Hunan, i.e. the 12 largest Miao surnames. The following branches are numerous and have been merged into the corresponding Han surnames.

This is the dragon.

After introductions from both sides, Longtang asked, "Are you here for a tour?"

"Yes, we're going to the kettle. "Xiaozhai Road.

"The pot and bottle can be far away, and you can't turn it out of the dark. Why don't you go to the village? We also have hotels and parking lots. She said what she wanted, without any euphemisms.

Wen Gu was very curious and asked, "Do you also receive outsiders?"

"Of course, a lot of people come to us in the summer. We sell some homemade trinkets and sing and dance together. It's low season and it's cold, so no one comes. ”

“......“

The two exchanged glances, and Wen Gu smiled, "Very good." Let's go see where you are. ”

......

Like this mountain road, old drivers don't dare to drag race.

After 40 minutes of slow and leisurely driving, Xiaozhai finally met several families. As the road became smoother and smoother, more and more people lived in it, and it was almost evening when we finally arrived at the village in Longtang.

This is called Bai Zhaiqing, with a population of nearly 1,000. This is the largest Miao village within a hundred miles. Surrounded by mountains, wooden stilt buildings are built on the hills, which are scattered.

Five Huajie Roads are connected to the village center, and the east and west sides of the village gate building are lined with wooden pillars and tiled roofs. The courtyard, dam, and family gatehouse in the center of the village are paved with bluestone.

In front of the village is a clear stream with a wind-blown wooden bridge, stone mills and mills along the way, and a queue of watermills.

The wrecked car drove into the village without paying much attention. Under the command of Tang Long, it drove all the way to the largest wooden building. The little girl got off the bus, led the two men in, and shouted, "Abreu!"

"What's that sound? Didn't you go to town?"

A low rebuke came from inside, and out came a white-bearded old man, with a slightly hunched back. He wears casual clothes, a double-breasted black jacket with 11 buttons, straight at the front, curved at the back, and large trouser legs underneath the trousers.

"Abreu, thanks to them, I can barely come back today... This is Wen Gu's brother, and this is Xiaozhai's sister. They want to go to the pot today and live in the stockade. ”

Tang Long explained endlessly. The old man looked at the two men and said, "Go!

"Thank you, Abru!"

The little girl dragged them out and whispered, "Abreu agreed." That's what he is. You won't mind. ”

"Is that old man the patriarch?" said Gucci.

"We don't call this patriarch, Abel is my father's eldest brother and the person in charge of the village, and several nearby villages want to hear his ......"

After her explanation, the two understood that the Miao people have their own social system, and their names vary from place to place. The name of Qianzhou is "Gou Lang", and the name of the leader is Lang. Yunnan is called Conghui, and the leader is called Conghui. Hunan's name is He Kuan, and the leader's name is Kuantou.

It usually consisted of several or dozens of stockades, which made treaties and elected a chief, several vice-chiefs, a huhan (military chief), a priest (priest), and several deacon chiefs, such as "Li Lao" (presiding over justice).

Ninety years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this ancient system still exists and has become an effective complement to the administrative organization and laws of the government.

In this case, Tang Long's status is quite high. Her father was a teacher, and the second largest wooden building was her home. Compared to the leader, Daddy Dragon is very kind and welcomes two guests.

After meeting the two bosses, the little girl took them to the inn. The inn is also a row of wooden buildings facing the creek. Push open the window and it's picturesque.

Tang Long was very welcoming and had to spend money on a treat. He broke up like an adult and didn't argue with them after all.

After paying the deposit, she accompanied him upstairs and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, you will soon come to my house for dinner." We will eat fish in sour soup. ”

"Sorry to bother you, but we can eat here. ”

"Don't bother, I still have to thank you. ”
