Chapter 52: Mulong Yao Village
This is a mountain dog? When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the "Ah Huang".
Before crossing, Lin Xiao also had a Chinese pastoral dog at home when he was a child, Lin Xiao liked it very, very much, and gave it a nickname called "Ah Xing", playing with it after school, running around with it in the field, and often taking it to compete with the pets of his friends.
Ah Xing is fierce and mighty, and he is the local dog king, and he has won the envy of his friends countless times for Xiao Lin Xiao. And it is also very smart and very humane, when Lin Xiao is happy, it also wags its tail vigorously and leaps vertically, running before and after; When Lin Xiao was wronged and unhappy, it quietly lay at Lin Xiao's feet to accompany him, and secretly threw sad glances at him from time to time......
Later, I don't know which little bureaucrat patted his head and said that he was going to carry out a dog extermination campaign, and Ah Xing was forcibly dragged away and killed in Xiao Lin Xiao's heart-rending despair.
After Ah Xing's death, Lin Xiao didn't say a word for three days.
After all, this incident left a deep shadow in Lin Xiao's heart, this was the first time that Xiao Lin Xiao hated himself deeply, he hated himself for betraying Ah Xing, and he was unable to protect his beloved partner at the moment of life and death. This may also be one of the reasons why he chose to apply for a military school directly in the college entrance examination.
When he grew up, Lin Xiao came into contact with many dog breeds, especially familiar with the common German herdsmen in the army, but he still has a soft spot for Chinese pastoral dogs, for which he has also specialized in research, knowing that there was a kind of "mountain dog" called pen-tailed gray dog in Guangxi, which is one of the best, and its characteristics are "the head is like a gourd, the ears are like forks, and the tail is like a golden gun." To put it figuratively, the head is big, the ears are pointed, the waist is thin, and the tail is tight, which is an extremely ferocious traditional Chinese dog breed, but unfortunately it has basically disappeared in the 21st century.
……
"It won't bite you, let's go."
Feng Suqin was urging in his ears, Lin Xiao came back to his senses and followed Ah Huang home, and saw from a distance that Feng Wenxuan, the owner of the old village, had already gone out with a group of people to wait.
"Oops! Little happy, why did you come back? Nothing happened, right? ”
When the old village owner saw his precious daughter, he shouted hurriedly.
"Dad, aren't I okay? What can happen? ”
Feng Suqin rushed forward, happily hugged her Abba's arm, turned her head and said, "Dad, this is Brother Lin." ”
At that moment, Lin Xiao and the others stepped forward to see the old village owner, and Feng Wenxuan hurriedly led it into the front yard meeting hall and sat down.
Feng Wenxuan, the owner of the old village, was not tall, wearing a gray satin narrow-sleeved placket with a plate embroidered Fu character pattern, a minaret-shaped blue cloth headdress, and a pair of black simple boots over his brown trouser legs.
The slightly emaciated face has several deep wrinkles, but the eyes are still bright, there is a short beard on the broad and slightly upturned chin, the ten fingers of the hands are short and thick, and the green tendons on the back of the hands are exposed.
Feng Wenxuan was very happy after listening to the combat report of Feng Anmin and others, and was also very interested in the mysterious identity of Lin Xiao and others.
Feng Wenxuan also briefly introduced the history and current situation of his Yao Village.
It turns out that they are all descendants of Panwang, is a veritable Pan Yao, also called Guo Shan Yao, originally lived in the area of Qianjiatong in Hunan, is the descendants of the tribe under the jurisdiction of Meng Huo who was subdued by Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu and Han during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, and has settled here for dozens of generations since the end of the Song Dynasty to avoid the disaster of war.
However, at present, the residents of the village are not all Yao people, there are also a small number of Zhuang, Miao and Han residents settled here, and there are many families with the surname Feng in the village, and there are Zhao, Luo, Li and other surname families, most of them are generations of in-laws surnamed Feng.
Their family has served as the patriarch for generations, and is respected as the "village elder", the original people are also prosperous, but they can be passed on to their own generation, although they have wives and concubines, there is only Feng Suqin such a daughter under their knees, since childhood, they are regarded as pearls in the palm of their hands, and they are raised as sons.
Because she was afraid that she would be hurt when she went out, she found a few maid guards, but the little girl suddenly wanted to form a women's guard team, which gradually increased to more than 100 people, but she was also trained to look good, but she still lacked some experience in battle.
……
"Dad, you're talking bad about me again, huh!"
was chatting happily, but the young lady actually went out of the boudoir to listen to the foot of the wall behind the screen, and after hearing it, she couldn't help it, and ran out with her mouth pouted.
I saw that Miss Feng had changed into a Han lady dress, wearing a narrow-sleeved Bixia lace back, which set off her fair face and was full of energy, and she was wearing a pink smoke gauze skirt that dragged the floor, covered with a sleeveless armor embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern on bright red silk, which just showed her slender and slender figure.
The silver collar in the neck is gone, the headdress on the head is also removed, the thick black hair behind the long bangs in the middle is combed with a loose double bun, and a jasper hanging golden hairpin is inserted obliquely, and a gold and jade pendant falling on the hairpin swayes gently.
"No, no, how can my father say bad things about my family's happiness, hehe." Feng Wenxuan said with a loving smile on his face.
"Lord Lin, the little girl is rude and offensive, I hope Lord Lin will forgive me for one or two."
"Where is it, Ling Aizhi is knowledgeable, both civil and military, and he is really a heroine."
Lin Xiao was looking at the delicate man in a daze, and when he heard this, he hurriedly smiled and complimented him.
This little girl, not to mention her figure and appearance, the rich and vivid expressions on this little face are too cute.
It is said that women are beautiful when they are vivid, and I am honest!
I saw that Feng Suqin took her father's hand, and said with a sweet smile: "Dad, my daughter is going to join the army on behalf of her father, and Brother Lin has already promised me." ”
"Dad, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself, wait at home for me and Brother Lin to come back, drive away the Tartars, and your daughter will accompany you to Guilin to go shopping."
"Uh, this, that...... Lord Lin, dinner should be ready, let's go to the banquet? Come on, let's see if dinner is ready? ”
……
Dinner was eaten in the village valley field, the Yao people have always been bold and hospitable, and the children returned triumphantly, and the dinner became a grand ceremony.
During the banquet, there were not only the "Departure Dance", "Closing Dance" and "Long Encouragement" performed by the young people, but also the duet of mountain songs by young men and women, which was very lively.
Seeing that the women of the Yao nationality were not only beautiful and generous, but also quick-witted and singing, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be amazed. Feng Wenxuan, who sat with him on the side, introduced with great interest that their Yao women are the most praiseworthy, they are not only good at picking flowers, embroidery, good at housework, and extremely tenacious and hard-working, often working hard with men, and also good at understanding herbal medicine, they not only treat their own people, but also in addition to farming, often go into the mountains to collect medicine, practice medicine along the street, or carry medicine into the city to sell, in exchange for oil and salt to supplement the family.
Speaking of why his daughter's nickname is called happy, Feng Wenxuan smiled faintly and said: "Life is hard, but I hope she can face it with a smile in this life and be happy every day, so let's call it happy." ”
It can be seen that although Feng Suqin is sometimes very willful, sometimes she is extremely well-behaved, and she is smart and clever by nature, and she often coaxes Feng Wenxuan to laugh, which really brings great happiness to Feng Wenxuan in this life, so she is obedient to this daughter and cherishes her very much.
As for her life experience, Feng Wenxuan told the truth after drinking, it turned out that Feng Wenxuan traveled to Guilin when he was young, and studied in a private school there, during which he met the daughter of the teacher, and later married back to Yaozhai, and gave birth to this girl after many years of marriage.
Soon her mother died of illness, although Feng Wenxuan later remarried, but never added a man and a woman, speaking of which this girl has half Han blood, so let her learn Chinese etiquette since she was a child.
"No wonder you have such a beautiful nose!"
Lin Xiaozheng was surprised that many women here had collapsed nose bridges, but the nose bridge of Feng Suqin's girl was extremely straight, and she was suddenly surprised when she heard the words.
Feng Wenxuan saw that he was stunned, so he went back to his room to rest under the pretext of drinking alcohol, leaving their young people to enjoy themselves.
In front of the public, Feng Suqin didn't come to pester people, Lin Xiao and his party were in a good mood, drank happily, and didn't go to bed until midnight.
