Xia Xun has been observing the people in this village all the way, most of them have deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, and black and yellow hair. Further on, there are more adults, including fù people drying fishing nets and men cutting furniture from poplar wood, and ...... almost all of the utensils they use every day, except for pots, are made of poplar wood, so everyone learns to cut wood from an early age.

Look at these adult male NVs, the clothes are also plain, but the looks are very handsome, but the adult NV people are also very tall and strong, and the beauty of the Central Plains who is as delicate as a willow cannot be seen here. [Baidu brocade night sticker]

The adults, probably because they often saw the travels, did not have the same curiosity about the two strangers as children, and they greeted Suleiman warmly, and some of them only asked casually, and no one came up to watch. Through the words and attitudes of these people, Xia Xun felt that this Suleiman still had a very high status in this village.

A little further on, when Gu Zaili's house arrived, he politely said goodbye to the two guests, and Suleiman smiled and translated the farewell words for her, and quipped to her: "Remember, when I have sent off the trip from afar, I will go to your house to propose marriage." ”

Gu Zaili blushed and "fled", and Suleiman laughed and led Xia Xun and Liu Yijue to continue walking.

When Suleiman's house arrived, it was also a fence wall made of red willow, but his house was a very beautiful wooden house, which was obviously more advanced than most houses that were only made of reeds and had to be used as firewood and grass houses in the Central Plains, and the family was indeed better than most people's homes. After entering the courtyard, Suleiman stopped and asked Xia Xun and Liu Yijue to enter the house.

Xia Xun said in his heart: "The guests are advanced, it must be a rule of the Luobu people." So he didn't ask any more questions, only nodded politely to Suleiman, and stepped into the room.

In the house, a wooden pit occupies nearly half of the area, and a thick máo blanket is spread on it, and a middle-aged nvzi is teasing a child who has just learned to crawl on the kang on the chuáng, and when he sees two strange Han guests coming in, he can't help but stand up in surprise, Suleiman then walked in and said something out loud to her, and the nvzi looked relieved, nodded and agreed and walked out.

Suleiman said to Xia Xun and Liu Yijue: "You sit down first, I will ask her to go and give you nòng something to eat." ”

Xia Xun and Liu Yijue hurriedly thanked each other, sat down on the side of the kang, and Suleiman also sat down, and shouted to the little guy who was crawling around on the kang: "Come on, my Arslang, call Aba to hug!" ”

The little guy smiled happily, dragging the shiny saliva to climb towards him, Suleiman smiled and hugged his son in his arms, and talked to Xia Xun and the two, this time he asked more carefully, Xia Xun naturally had no flaws in his answer, Suleiman had no wit, nodded again and again, and sympathized with their experience.

After a while, the NV man came up with two cups of tea, and listened to Suleiman's introduction that this was his second wife, and the first wife had gone back to her mother's house to visit relatives, and her mother's house was in another village half a day's drive away, and that village was also built around this Luobu Lake. The lake is so big that it is like an ocean, and there are many such small farms around it.

The two cups of tea are different from the tea leaves of the Central Plains, but Luobu hemp tea, the Luobu people live by water, wear Luobu hemp clothes, drink Luobu hemp tea, and eat Luobu hemp powder, this crop is their main life dependence in addition to fish. Although the taste of that tea is not as fragrant as that of the Central Plains, the Luobu people are healthy and especially long-lived, because they drink this tea made with Luobu hemp leaves and huā all year round.

Of course, Xia Xun and Liu Yijue didn't know the miraculous effect of this Luo Bu Ma, although they felt that the taste was worse, but this hot tea was a hundred times more delicious than the horse blood and ice water they drank all the way, and the two of them held the hot tea and chatted with the old man Suleiman.

Suleiman's wife quickly cleaned up the fresh fish, found some dried red willow branches and roasted them without any seasoning, and only when they were cooked and served with a spice called puhuang. Then the beef nǎi is served, and a plate of pickled crisp raw white sè rhizomes. Suleiman said that this is the rhizome of the reed, which is plucked when it is just growing, and the tender part of the white sè is harvested, which is very delicious.

Xia Xun and Liu Yijue thanked them again, and then opened their mouths to chew, the fish was roasted crispy and tender, although there was no oil and salt, but there was another kind of fish ròu fragrance, two people devoured it, there were three catties of féi fish, one person almost gnawed two, then put down the grilled fish, chewed the tender reed root and drank Luobu tea. Before it was time to eat, Suleiman was not hungry, but just smiled and watched them eat.

After the two of them had filled their stomachs, Suleiman smiled and said, "My second boy went back to his mother's house with his mother, his house is empty, I will take you there in a while, let's stay in the village first!" ”

Xia Xun thanked him and said, "Uncle Suleiman, you said that there is a place in front of you that specializes in receiving merchants, and now there are some merchants from the sandbar living there, I don't know...... What kind of people are we, the two of us...... I also know a few business friends on the sandbank, maybe I can borrow their help and return to the sandbank! ”

Suleiman listened and said: "Ouch, I really don't know much about this, because the merchants who come and go here often pass by, so I have set up some houses and guest houses in front of me to entertain the guests, but the affairs over there have been taken care of by my eldest son since the year before, and I have only heard him mention in passing where the guests who live there now come from, and I don't know the details."

From here, there has to be some way, let's catch up with Ming'er, Ming'er, I'll go and inquire for you, but ...... Young man, I advise you to live in the village first, you can escape from the hands of the horse thief, and cross the desert, good luck, but luck will not always be on your side, just the two of you, want to cross such a long desert wall back to the sandbank, it is too dangerous, without a guide who is familiar with the road, it is easy to go to the road, starve to death, thirst to death in the desert, even if you know the road, people are lonely, and it is easy to run into the horse thief again. ”

Xia Xun said: "Thank you uncle for reminding us, we don't have to leave immediately, but if you really have any acquaintances, say hello in advance, and you can also have a response." Also...... when my uncle asks me about the merchants, don't tell me where we came first......

"Oh, why is that?"

Uncle Suleiman was a little more alert, and Liu Yijue smiled bitterly: "Uncle, we businessmen are not like you here, we are carefree and carefree. In the mall, we have friends and enemies, and some of them are really fighting to the death, if it is our enemy, although it will not fall into the ground, but let them laugh at it, but it is ......"

"Oooh!" [Baidu Jinyi Night Walking Sticker Bar Huang Mén Internal Product Provides Error-free Text Debut]

Suleiman laughed heartily: "You people outside, that's right, when I went to the sandbank, your wealthy families and businessmen over there were indeed intrigues, so good, it's up to you, I'll help you secretly inquire about the news!" As he spoke, he still winked at Xia Xun and Liu Yijue innocently, as if he thought it was a very interesting thing to secretly mōmō like this.

After a little more chatter, Suleiman led the two to his second son's house, which was also a wooden house, with a fence of red willow branches in front of it, and no bolts or locks on the mén. Push open the courtyard mén, and you can enter the house.

When the sun set, a hunter came back from the village, it was Nagu Zaili's father and brother, they hunted a yellow sheep, the whole village was elated as if they had encountered a great happy event, Xia Xun and Liu Yù Jue who were wandering in the village were inexplicable, it seemed that in this quiet place, some very ordinary things could be celebrated as a big happy event.

It was not until dinner that they understood why the whole village was so happy, because Gu Zaili invited the whole village to taste the roasted whole sheep together, and here, although the property was sī, they still retained to a large extent some of the habits of the primitive tribes, and some good things were used to sharing with the villagers.

In the square in the center of the village, the villagers worked together to pile up a pile of poplar branches, and when the branches were burned into charcoal, they dug a large dòng in the middle and buried the whole sheep in it. Immediately afterwards, the people of the whole village brought all kinds of food, tables and chairs to hold a conference meal. The chairs are poplar wooden piers, the tables are larger poplar wooden piers, the cups, bowls, and dishes are all made of poplar wood, and the variety of food is actually lackluster, mainly fish from various preparations, and the drink is fresh beef nǎi.

When the roast lamb was dug up, torn into pieces and served on a wooden plate, and brought to everyone, the feast arrived, and some people played the dombra made of birch, and the girls in dyed huā skirts danced to the music, and soon the men joined in, not only the young men, but also many old men with white beards.

Although Xia Xun and Liu Yijue were brought back, their clothes were ragged as if they were called huāzi, but they were still treated as guests by the simple villagers and sat on the chairman, Liu Yijue looked at everything in front of him, and was infected by the happy emotions of the villagers, he sighed with infinite fascination: "Big brother, I think this is the paradise of the world, I really want to live here, and never leave for the rest of my life!" ”

"Perhaps!"

Xia Xun smiled, but his eyes were extremely clear: "Perhaps, this is a paradise on earth." But you only see their happy side, but you don't see the hardships of their life here. If they see the prosperity of the Central Plains, why won't they yearn for it? Everyone thinks that others live better than themselves, in fact, everyone has their own luck and misfortune, we have our own life, we also have our own responsibility! ”

Xia Xun turned his face, the blazing firelight reflected his face half bright and half dark, behind his shoulder, the firewood and sparks blown up by the wind flew in the night sky, as if it was a more distant existence than the stars in the sky, Xia Xun said word by word, very seriously: "We have something we want to protect, so we can't give up!" Hardship and suffering cannot change us! yòuhuò, the same can't! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Yijue looked at Xia Xun with admiration and even some admiration, in his heart, his big brother Yang's will is as firm as a rock, with him, he will always have the backbone, and he will never have to be afraid of losing his direction!

In another camping place, in front of the bonfire, Ying Zhan smiled dotingly at his beloved wife Miaoyi, who was lazily nestled in his arms: "Hehe, I said that the desert is very boring, you want to come along, how about it, are you bored now?" ”

He stroked his beard and said, "Tomorrow we will rest for another day, and we will continue on our road." In this way, tomorrow I will ask a few people to accompany you to the village of the Luobu people to have fun, the small village here is actually still tǐng interesting. ”
