"Old patriarch, we stayed in your Tujia village for two days, we will resign early tomorrow morning, I won't say much about this thanks, next time if I am free, welcome the Tujia brothers to Hangzhou, let me also do my best landlord." Wang Laohu invited.

"Our ancestors have been in this mountain for generations, and we have never been out of the mountain. We don't know the world outside the mountains. The old patriarch said.

"It's good to stick to one side like this, but it's also good to open up the village, and it's also a good choice to let young people go outside and bring some fresh information to the village." Wang Laohu said.

"Although I don't agree with Wang Gongzi's point of view, I don't refute it, we have tens of thousands of Tujia people, including three mountains and five villages, these people are all Tujia people, some people also want to be officials, but they all follow the Han surname, we have no face to do this kind of humiliating family." The old patriarch said.

Each nation has its own characteristics. In the Ming Dynasty, if the Tujia people wanted to be officials, they had to follow the Han surname to have their heads, and at that time, the status of ethnic minorities was general. In the eyes of the old patriarch, the idea of consolidating the foundation and preserving the capital prevailed, and it is no wonder that in the hearts of the elderly, it is the most important thing to keep the inheritance left by their ancestors.

Wang Laohu no longer argued with him, after all, what is in his heart cannot be achieved by one or two exchanges.

"Just now, the old patriarch, you mentioned three mountains and five villages, it seems that your Tujia village has a wide range." Wang Laohu said.

"Our Tujia village includes three mountains, Zhangjiajie, Sangzhi, and Wulingyuan, of which Zhangjiajie is the head, and the two sides are the flanks. Hewan Tuzhai, Wanshou Tuzhai, Tujia Thirteen Villages, Yayuan Tujia Village, Shizhu Tuzhai respond to each other. ”

According to the old patriarch, Wang Laohu seems to know something, these villages hold each other, cooperate with each other, men plough and women weave, live a peaceful and peaceful life, even if they are isolated from the outside, they can still be self-sufficient here. Wang Laohu didn't want to break this kind of peach blossom paradise peace: "Old patriarch, if I can also live in this place permanently, it will really be a fairy-like life." It's just that the whole family has to rely on me to live. ”

"Our Tujia family welcomes Prince Wang. Come, take a sip of our homemade glutinous rice wine. The old patriarch said.

Wang Laohu raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Night.

Wanshou Tuzhai fell into peace, and occasionally there were a few barking dogs. The silvery moonlight shone on the silent mountain, and there were some crickets screaming sadly. The night envelops all the scenes, not as realistic as in the daytime, they all have vague and empty colors, each of which hides a subtle point, and keeps a secret, which makes people feel like a dream. At the gate of the stockade, there are two Tujia villagers holding three-headed forks on duty, which are the weapons of the Tujia people when hunting, and they are used as weapons on duty at night.

For a long time, this Tujia village is relatively safe, outsiders are rare to enter, the government is also to make the Tujia highly autonomous, in a peaceful atmosphere, the Tujia people live comfortably, but the training can not be forgotten. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Tujia family had been invaded by foreign tribes, the foreign tribes were strong, and they were killed into the Tujia village for several miles, in the face of the blood lesson, the blood of the Tujia people could not be forgotten, and the nature could not be forgotten, so they trained the soldiers by hunting, the soldiers were trained by hunting, and the soldiers were taken by the people.

Hundreds of years have passed since the days of such peace, and as the saying goes, the days go by, and the changes change. It's the same with this Tujia.

The two people on duty are still on duty.

Taking advantage of the night, a large number of people are approaching this way. It is unknown who these people are, but they are obviously coming towards Wanshou Tuzhai.

And Wang Laohu lives in this longevity village, is the target of the people who come is Wang Laohu?

These people slowly approached the gate of Wanshou Tuzhai, and the people on duty did not notice that someone was approaching.

These groups of people all had weapons in their hands and wore Tujia national costumes, but they had strips of cloth of different colors wrapped around their arms.

They have approached the gate, most of the people stopped, four or five people, counted as small detachments, even moved forward and touched forward, they approached the people on duty, with a gesture from someone, these five people rushed to the front of the gate, two by two against one person, the person on duty was tightly pinched, a knife, the poor two Tujia soldiers on duty were immediately solved.

When the large crowd in the back saw that it was safe in front of them, they approached one after another. Entering the gate of the village, from a distance came a few patrolling people, although these are the people of Wanshou Tuzhai, but they seem to be familiar with this group of people, these two groups of people and horses together, and then march to the village.

Wang Laohu's room sounded an urgent knock on the door.

Wang Laohu opened the door, and it turned out to be Li Tian, "Son, what the brothers saw the night before is true, there is a group of people here, colluding with people outside, wanting to rebel." ”

"Rebellion." Hearing this sensitive word, Wang Laohu immediately thought of King Ning, in this Tujiazhai, who wants to rebel? "What happened at such a late hour?"

"Now there are people who have entered the village, and the number is estimated to be tens of thousands." Li Tiandao.

"Can you see who is coming?" Wang Laohu asked.

"It looks like it's a Tujia family."

"Tujia?" Did the Tujia people fight on their own? Wang Laohu thought like this, "Inform the old patriarch and let him be prepared, and in addition, the Ming Tiger team will gather immediately." ”

When he heard that someone had entered Tujiazhai, Wang Laohu gathered the Ming Tiger team, and now this matter is still unknown, what Wang Laohu has to do is to check things and then make plans.

"Wang Biao, you and your personal guards are here to protect your lady and Qingqing girl, and I'll go to the old patriarch to have a look." Wang Laohu said.

"Yes, Childe." Wang Biao responded.

Wang Laohu, Li Tian, and the Minghu team members immediately rushed to the old patriarch, and the old patriarch at this time had already recruited several leaders of Wanshou Ancient Village to come to discuss the matter, and one of the leaders was named Aguji.

"Old patriarch." As soon as Wang Laohu entered the door, he greeted the old patriarch.

"Prince Wang, what's going on?" The old patriarch didn't know anything about what was happening.

"My men have found a large crowd of people coming into the stockade, and it seems that it is not good for the stockade. So I ordered someone to inform the old patriarch. Wang Laohu said.

"Our Tujiazhai has been living in peace for hundreds of years, and I don't know what is going on, so I have ordered someone to inquire." The old patriarch said.

"Listen to my brother, these people are dressed in Tujia clothes." Wang Laohu said.

Aguji said: "Our Tujia people have always been united, and it must be some outsiders who take advantage of the fire to rob them." ”

At this time, a Tujia soldier came back and reported: "Patriarch, these people are the people of Jiang Pei and Hou Yin. ”

"Craftsman and Houin? What are they going to do? Old Patriarch Buni said angrily. This craftsman Pei and Hou Yin are the tribal leaders of the thirteen villages of Tujia and Shizhu Tuzhai, what are they doing in this dark night and attacking Wanshou Tuzhai?

"Old patriarch, who are these craftsmen and Hou Yin?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Wang Gongzi, this matter has nothing to do with you, who expected you to let you run into it. You saw it last time, he is the leader of the Thirteen Villages of the Tujia Family, and Hou Yin is the tribal leader of the Shizhu Tu Village, and now these two people are joining forces, and I don't know what the reason is. The old patriarch said.

The two major tribal leaders join forces, which is also a common scene in film and television dramas, often because they are dissatisfied with the patriarch, so they unite with other tribal leaders and launch an attack, or it may be because they fancy the patriarch's position, and they have been the tribal leader in their own tribal territory for many years, and they have not been promoted, so they want to snatch the position of the patriarch. "Old patriarch, these people want to attack Wanshou Ancient Village, haven't you been here and haven't you found out?"

"At the last bonfire meeting, you also saw that he didn't do anything like that, besides, our Tujia has always been harmonious, who would have thought that he would lead the troops to attack." Old Buni Patriarch said.

This is to attack Wanshou Ancient Village, which is to make trouble, no matter what reason he has. Now it is equivalent to the Tujia brothers killing each other. "Old patriarch, with all due respect, no matter who is the person, whoever loses now, the Tujia family loses, and the people who die are the Tujia's own brothers, let's ask first, what does this leader want to do?"

"You're right, let's go out and ask him what he wants?" After the old patriarch Buni finished speaking, he said to Aguji, "Let's go together." ”

Came to a walled gate, and the people on both sides were already in a state of imminent war. The gate of the village opened, and the old patriarch of Buni, Aguji, Wang Laohu and others came out.

On the opposite side are Jiang Pei and Hou Yin and others.

"Brother Jiangpei, we just met yesterday, which one are you singing?" Old Patriarch Buni asked.
