Chapter 423, not in vain

When Jin Zhu heard Xie Jinhua say that he would not let the three girls follow, he was a little anxious.

"Teacher, I want to go with you, I've been there, maybe I can help you find that place, and besides, I know a little bit of martial arts, so I can protect myself."

She came to this place, and it must be unwilling for her to give up at this time.

Besides, she knows a little bit of martial arts, Kang Xin and Kong Ling have witnessed it with their own eyes, and she has nothing to hide.

"You, know martial arts?" Huang Kai looked at Jin Zhu from top to bottom and pursed his lips, obviously discriminating.

I don't blame him for discriminating, because Jin Zhu does look relatively thin, and he speaks slowly, and walks quietly, and people who have been married are very shy when they see the opposite sex, and they blush at every turn, how can such a person seem to have studied martial arts?

People who learn martial arts should speak loudly, walk with the wind, and like to call brothers and sisters when they see the opposite sex.

"She did learn some basic self-defense, like taekwondo, right?" Although Xie Jinhua hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had also heard of Jin Zhu's power.

A nineteen-year-old girl can deal with four gangsters with daggers with her bare hands, I'm afraid this is not a simple self-defense technique, right? It's just that in front of so many people, he can't ask in detail, because if he asks, it will inevitably involve the incident of Kang Xin being robbed, which is a taboo for the Kang family, and he doesn't dare to touch the mold.

"Okay, since Lao Xie agreed, I won't talk much. With such a beautiful woman as you by our side, we will not be lonely along the way, and maybe we will give me a chance to save beauty as a hero. Huang Kai laughed and joked.

"Then let's go too, we have Senior Brother Huang to escort us." Zou Heng remembered Huang Kai's ability.

He wrestled alone in Naadam in Mongolia and won several young people, horseback riding is also a first-class good, and Huang Kai said that he has practiced boxing seriously, and he is the main force of the school basketball team.

Kang Xin hesitated, "Okay, I'll call home." ”

When she came this time, the family was supposed to match her with a female bodyguard, but Kang Xin refused, she didn't want to make herself too special, because this time she didn't go out alone, but six people, and the teacher led the team.

However, she was not capricious, but brought a satellite positioning mobile phone equipped at home, and would send a WeChat message to her home every two hours to report her safety, and promised not to go out at night.

But now that she is going to a place where she doesn't even have a mobile phone signal, she must report to her family in advance.

After Kang Xin finished speaking, she walked to the corner with her mobile phone and made a call, and after a while, I saw her come over with a smile and make an OK gesture to everyone.

"But I need to bring two more people, I just called home, and two relatives have also come over here, who happen to live nearby, and they said they want to go with us."

It turned out that her family was still worried that she would go out alone, and sent two female bodyguards to follow them from a distance, but Kangxin was embarrassed to say that it was a bodyguard, so she said it was a relative.

"So coincidentally?" Zou Heng and Kong Ling asked at the same time.

"What a coincidence, Dali is so famous, and there are many tourists from the imperial capital every day." Xie Jinhua guessed that the person who came to him might not be a relative, so he lied for Kang Xin.

Anyway, two more people must be a little more secure in terms of safety, and can the people sent by Kangxin's family be ordinary people?

Under Xie Jinhua's suggestion, Kang Xin called the two female bodyguards over, and everyone finalized the itinerary together, and they went out of the city early the next morning, following the route they took last time to find Li Xiang, and went on the road under the command of the mobile phone navigation.

After about two hours, the mobile phone navigation was still commanding, although it was also a mountain road, but Jinzhu felt that something was not right.

"Could it be that three years have passed, and all the mobile phone signals in this area are covered?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Jin Zhu shook her head when she heard this, she didn't know this question.

"It's also possible that you were at night and didn't see your surroundings clearly." Kang Xin said.

Jin Zhu poked her head out of the window and took a closer look at the surrounding mountains, but to be honest, these mountains did not seem to her to have much difference.

"I really don't remember the environment at that time, there were no obvious markers, but one thing I am sure of is that we came to a three-way intersection, the navigator failed, and we chose a direction by lot."

"Find the nearest village and ask." Xie Jinhua made a decisive decision.

So, Huang Kai parked the car halfway up the mountain, and there was a village at the bottom of the mountain, and several of them got out of the car and entered the village from the back of the village along the mountain road, which is a village inhabited by the Bai people.

The group of them had a lunch at the village chief's house, and Jin Zhu drew the hairstyles and costumes of the men and women she had seen, and the village chief shook his head, saying that he had not seen such hairstyles and costumes here.

However, he showed them the way, saying that the villages deep in the mountains were more remote and there was basically no mobile phone reception.

Coming out of the village chief's house, Jin Zhu and his party continued to walk along the mountain road pointed by the village chief, stopping and stopping all the way, asking several villages, but no one had seen Jin Zhu's hairstyle and clothes, seeing that it was about to get dark, Xie Jinhua searched for nearby towns and planned to live in the town.

"That's right, how did I forget the most crucial point, that village seems to be an hour's drive from Baixi Town, which is about sixty kilometers." Jin Zhu patted his head.

Baixi Town is where Li Xiang and their crew lived last time, and they fled in a panic that night, but they didn't expect to find Li Xiang by mistake.

Kong Ling took out his mobile phone when he heard this, and located it from the mobile phone, their current location is more than a hundred kilometers away from Baixi Town.

Since Jin Zhu had lived in Baixi Town and knew the conditions there, Xie Jinhua meant to rush to Baixi Town overnight, because relatively speaking, the safety factor in the town was still higher, and the accommodation conditions were better.

Early the next morning, a few of them drove along the 60-kilometer arc of Baixi Town, but unfortunately they found nothing at the end of the day.

Then I searched for two days in a row, but I still found nothing.

Just when Xie Jinhua decided to give up after spending another day not finding it, they finally met several Susu girls when they asked for directions on the morning of the fourth day, one of them named Ah Hua recognized the village where the clothes and headdress painted by Jin Zhu were, and said that her sister was married to that village, and after some conversation, the other party volunteered to show them the way for Jin Zhu.

After walking along the mountain road for half an hour, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a village, which was actually a narrow mountain pass, surrounded by rocks and trees on both sides, leaving only a mountain pass that could only cross the width of a horse-drawn carriage.

"This is the place." Jin Zhu recognized the clearing in front of the mountain pass as if it was the place where they had fought back then.

After speaking, she took out her mobile phone and saw that there was still no signal in this place.

Entering the mountain pass, it is a section of the road down the mountain, it is about the same width as the horse-drawn carriage, the two sides of the road are rich bamboo forests and vegetation, standing on the mountain road and looking down, only see the deep valley, but there are also a few roofs faintly exposed, but turn around this mountain road covered by the bamboo forest, the eyes are suddenly bright.

This is a valley similar to Tianjiazhai surrounded by mountains, and it is also from the foot of the mountain to build houses in rows to the top of the mountain, to the surprise of Jinzhu, most of the houses here are brick and tile structures, and there are also brick and wood structures, and the style of the houses is somewhat similar to the courtyard houses in the north.

Under the mountain depression is a large piece of Qianmo farmland, in the middle of the farmland, is a river about five or six meters wide flowing through, it was the harvest season at that time, there are many people working in the farmland, there are a few children playing by the river, from a distance, the child is tied with pigtails, only a belly pocket is worn.

"It's more hidden here than Tianjiazhai, and I can't find it if no one leads it." Kang Xin sighed first.

"No, when ordinary people see that mountain pass, they would think that this is a village, and it is indeed very hidden." Jin Zhu said.

"How did I think of Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"?" Zou Heng said.

"Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Kong Ling recited a paragraph.

"So, the people here are also trying to escape from the enemy's pursuit or the war?" Jin Zhu speculated.

The little girl of the Susu tribe named Ah Hua pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, "How can you say so exaggerated?" There are many villages like this in our side, and there are many mountains and little land here, so we can only choose a place with mountains and water to settle down, so that we can open up wasteland and cultivate land. ”

"That's right, the ethnic minorities here in Yunnan basically choose to live in such remote mountains." Xie Jinhua remembered the villages where the Mongolians interviewed in Yuxi City lived.

"Ah Hua, do you know what they are called?" Jin Zhu asked.

"It seems to be called that clan."

"What about that clan?" Several voices asked at the same time.

Is there that among the fifty-six nations?

Kong Ling habitually took out his mobile phone and wanted to search for it, but when he clicked on it, he thought that there was no signal and shrugged his shoulders at everyone.

"Probably not." Xie Jinhua said.

He had done a lot of homework before he came, so his answer was quite authoritative.

This answer greatly stimulated these people, that race, it seems that this trip is really not in vain, even if you can't find the descendants of the Khitans, it is a big deal to find the fifty-seventh ethnic group.

"I heard that their village has a history of hundreds of years, and their living habits have not changed much over the years, because they don't interact much with the outside villages, have their own markets and schools, and they generally don't marry people from outside, my sister got married because she met my brother-in-law working outside, and the young people in their village have also come out to work in the past two years, but very few."

As soon as everyone heard that there was their own school in this village, they became even more interested and followed Ah Hua into the village.

Presumably, there were very few outsiders in the village, and their appearance obviously alarmed everyone, and what puzzled Jin Zhu was that the old people here were not curious or enthusiastic when they saw them entering the village, but on the contrary, they seemed to be a little wary.

It seems that there are very few outsiders here.

But when I think about it, I can't even get into the car at the entrance of the village, and there is no mobile phone signal.

"And where did their teacher come from?" Jin Zhu was curious.

"It's their own husband, I don't know the specifics, I've just been to my sister's house a few times, by the way, I forgot to tell you, there's no electricity here."

"No power?" Several voices asked at the same time.

Although they have lived in farmhouses in very difficult conditions along the way, at least they have electricity, mobile phones, and even televisions at home, although they can only receive three or four channels.

"Actually, there are a lot of places in the mountains where we don't have electricity."

Ah Hua led a few of them to the mountainside while walking, and introduced the situation of her sister's house to everyone.

Her sister's name is Ajuan, she is just twenty-five years old this year, and she has been married to this village for seven years, and her parents did not agree to it at the beginning, thinking that this village was closed, and there was not even an electricity.

In the end, the two young people were not screwed up, and the marriage and love concept of the local ethnic minorities was already open, and the two became relatives directly outside, and finally returned to the village with the child, and the elders in the village were helpless.

But in the end, the couple also made compromises and concessions, and no longer went out to work, but lived in the village in a regular manner, and his brother-in-law became the village teacher.

As they spoke, they came to a house halfway up the mountainside, which was obviously much larger than the surrounding houses, and even the courtyard was much larger, and the courtyard gate was not closed, so they could directly see the scenery in the courtyard.

Saying that, after walking for half a day, Jin Zhu thought of a phenomenon, the courtyard gate here doesn't seem to be closed, can this village really reach the point where the door is not closed at night?

When Jin Zhu was distracted, Kang Xin took her hand and entered the yard, there are left and right wings on both sides of the yard, there are a few trees in front of the house and behind the house, Jin Zhu recognized three kinds of osmanthus, loquat, and orange, in addition to a few rows of vegetable fields, which are also very neatly tied.

While Jin Zhu was looking at it, a woman in her twenties wearing a black left shirt and a pair of black and purple trousers came out of the house with a milk doll.

When Ah Hua saw the woman, she ran over in a few steps, pulled the other party and muttered for a long time, pointing to a few gold beads from time to time, obviously introducing the other party to the meaning of the gold beads.

Xie Jinhua said to Ah Hua that they were students from the History Department of Imperial Capital University, and they were doing a research project on ethnic minorities in Yun Province, and in order to increase credibility, they also took out the audio and video of the interview in the past few days to show Ah Hua, and Ah Hua naturally believed it, so she volunteered to bring them.

But the woman named Ajuan obviously didn't fully believe her sister's words, she had been married for six or seven years, she knew that this village was almost isolated from the world, and there were very few people who knew this village within a radius of ten miles, how could a few college students from the imperial capital find here?
