In the blink of an eye, we have been in the city for a week.

Before I walked into Huisa, I had nothing to do with this land, and if it wasn't for Yunnan Collection, maybe it would never have been related. Yunnan is the frontier of China, and in people's minds, Yunnan is far enough away, and it is deep in the Ailao Mountains of Yunnan, a place that is difficult for anyone who has never been to reach even the imagination. Who would have thought that in such a remote place, there was a hidden city called Zosa? It dawned on me that the world was actually hiding a lot of secrets that we didn't know. The climate ranges from the tropical rainforest climate of the riverside valley to the cold climate of the mountains, and the variety of plants extends from tropical to continental. So here, you can see both the mangoes of the tropics and the dwarf jungles of the alpine zone. The climate of the city is subtropical, and the city is slowly surrounded by rice, sugar cane, bananas, lychees, mangoes, and longans from the beginning of every day. There are 11 roads leading to Southeast Asia in this city far from the city center, but looking at the mountains as far as my eyes can see, I still wonder where the bricks, tiles, and cement used to build these mansions were transported to the city. How did it get to the city? The meaning of "Huisa", translated as Han nationality, is a place of drought and lack of water. Why was a place of drought and water scarce chosen as a city? A big river meanders through here, and what a good water it is. It would be nice if the city of Wassa were built by the river. But the mountains chosen by the city also chose drought. And the newly built houses did not come closer to the big river, but to the higher mountains. Standing in the city of Zosa, I thought that the greatest advantage was the ability to overlook the mountains, and if that was the advantage, who would want to only look at the mountains and have no water to drink? Of course, walking into this land, this is only one of the incredibles, and there are too many unbelievable. Walking into the city of Huisa, I drew my sword to help the hero save the beauty, but it became a joke, which is incredible. Ah Meng died of water martyrdom just for a little water, which is the third unbelievable. Then there is the multi-voice singing method of the Hani people that was discovered, which is also incredible.

This land, which has nothing to do with me, suddenly came into my life, into my heart. Many years later, when I looked back on the past, I realized that it was the most important memory in my life.

We travel back and forth from the city of Aza to Baohua Township, or from Aza Township to the city of Zosa. Because I was sick, I didn't go to Sama Dam, but I just looked at it from a distance from the top of the mountain. I wish to walk on this land. Back in Zosa, the four of them never wanted to leave. They practiced Western music, and their original attitude towards this collection was just to look at the scenery, but they also felt too tired to see the scenery.

Ye Hena said to me: "Classmate Huang Zijin, you can walk as much as you like, don't let us run with you again, beat me to death, I can't walk anymore, you can spare me."

Song Zhiqiu also said: "Comrade team leader, we are purely accompanying the prince to study this time, we have nothing to see except for the dancing gods and dead people, what else do you say there is to see?" You know that I majored in Western music theory, it doesn't seem to make any sense to me, if you don't want to exhaust me to death. Just let me go. I will not forget your great kindness. ”

Ye Hena and Song Zhiqiu are reluctant to go any further, and Xia Tingquan and Du Runjian definitely don't want to go down with me anymore. Sure enough, before Ye Hena and Song Zhiqiu finished speaking, Du Runjian took over and said: "Team leader, it's not that I don't want to accompany you, except for the mountains or mountains, except for the sea of clouds or the sea of clouds, I really can't see the difference between the mountains here and the sea of clouds here and the mountains elsewhere and the sea of clouds elsewhere." Besides, folk music is not my research direction, and we have to do a thesis when we go back, so don't blame my brother for not accompanying you, you let me stop and stop. ”

I said to Xia Tingquan, "It seems that you don't want to go either."

Xia Tingquan said to me: "Big brother, look, don't go, you're alone, it's a loss of brotherhood, go, you see I really can't find a reason." It's really not interesting. I advise you not to go either. But the comrades in these places take our coming here very seriously, so let's not go, it's inappropriate for us to eat and live here all day long and disturb others. Anyway, you are the team leader, you are our representative, you tell Asso, just say that we will sort out the materials for the collection, and the soldiers will do their own things in two ways, so that everyone has an explanation, and it is reasonable. ”

I said to Xia Tingquan: "You are so thoughtful, you should be the team leader."

Xia Tingquan smiled evilly and said, "I'm not thinking about you yet."

I said to them, "If you don't go, don't go, pull it down." We are on two roads, you are going to capitalism, and I can only run into the ravine. Fate is different. ”

Du Runjian joked and said: "Huang Zijin, this is your mistake, what is national music?" It's a national music. One day, we really went abroad, what is that? That's uprooting. ”

I said to Du Runjian: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. You can play if you want, sleep when you want, I made an appointment with Aso to meet at the county party committee. ”

I met Asuo at the county party committee, and Ayue was there, and Asuo told me that the county party committee attached great importance to us coming from Beijing, and specially transferred his Beijing jeep out to send me into the mountains. But after a heavy rain, many places collapsed, and jeeps could not drive into the mountains. So, there was only horseback riding. Ah Suo said to me: "If there is something in the state that needs to be rushed back, Ah Yue will accompany you."

I said to Asso: "They stay and sort out the materials, and I will go to the mountain, the time is tight and the task is heavy, otherwise, our task will not be completed."

Asso said to me suspiciously, "Are they too tired?" Or are we not being well received? Small place, conditions are really limited. Aso looked at me as if he was very guilty.

Looking at Aso's kindness, I felt guilty. I said to Aso, "What else can I do if I don't have it?" The fragrant rice and bamboo tube rice eaten, the Yiche wine drunk, and the sa ganba. It's all things we've never seen and eaten. It's really good, Aso, Aso, if you think about it, I don't know what to say, you're the nicest person I've ever met. ”

Asso said to me, "That's good." said to Ah Yue, "Say Mr. Huang and I'll leave it to you." There are landslides everywhere on the mountain, you have to make sure that you are safe and bring a living person back. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to the above. It is not easy for them to come from Beijing. ”

When Aso left, he asked me with concern, "You have no problem riding a horse, right?"

I said to Asso, "No problem, don't worry."

In fact, I have a weak heart, how can there be no problem, I have never ridden a horse, and I am still walking on a rugged mountain road.

Ah Suo helped me onto the horse and said, "Ah Yue takes care of you, you can rest assured."

Ah Suo left, Ah Yue rode his horse and walked in front, I followed, and our goal was Sama Dam. It was morning in the city, and the sun was shining on the mountains. The blood-red sun rose from behind the mountains. The mountains around the castle turn into the graceful lines of the earth in the bright sunlight. Ah Yue and I walked into the mountains like stepping on the music of the earth. It reminds me of the kind of poetic countryside that the writer Hardy described. A book called "The Red River Chronicle" is a book of local customs, which introduces the Yiche woman as follows, "The Yiche girl, according to legend, is a branch of Hani, regardless of the old and young, all wearing long and short clothes and short pants, open chest, showing legs, wearing silverware, charming, demonic, and wearing silver bells." "When I was looking for information in the Honghe County Library, I accidentally saw an English version of "Notes on the Border City", which had the clothes of the Yiche women and the photos of the Yiche women, the author was the American explorer Locke, he described the Yiche women as follows, "They are wearing the most avant-garde clothes in the world for women, with flower faces and sunny bodies, I believe they are the most beautiful women in the world, no matter which fashion capital they appear, I believe that as long as they take a step, they will amaze the world." ”

Ah Yue's horse walked in front, my horse walked behind her, Ah Yue turned around and asked me, are you looking at me?

I said, absolutely not, I'm looking at the clouds walking in the sky.

I was thinking that the American explorer was right, at least Ah Yue is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Ah Yue came back and said, you lied again.

The wind blew, and the silverware on Ah Yue's body made a musical sound in the wind.

I said to Ah Yue, your body is like hanging countless wind chimes.

Ah Yue said, is it good?

I said, yes, that's good.

In fact, in addition to my obsession with folk music, another very important reason for coming to Honghe is that my grandfather mentioned this place, and my grandfather once said that if there is a place in his life that cannot be forgotten, it is Honghe. But I don't know why my grandfather was so fond of this place.

Ah Yue said, alas, hey?

I said to Ah Yue, are you calling me?

Ah Yue said in English, I didn't call you, who did I call?

I replied, oh, oh.

Ah Yuemi smiled and said, are you always so confused?

I said to Ah Yue, no, I was thinking that you are a girl who can't even speak Chinese, but she speaks English very well.

Ah Yue said to me, no, you are lying.

I said to Ah Yue, no, in fact, I really lied, I was thinking about you.

Ah Yue pouted and said with an angry look, will you die if you don't lie? You're not thinking about me at all, and if you're thinking about me, I can see it. Are you looking me in the eye?

I don't dare to look at Ah Yue.

Ah Yue said, what are you afraid of, I won't eat people.

I said, the weather is really nice today, and I don't know when we will get to our destination.

Ah Yue seemed to be really angry, and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse galloped in front. I could see that she was wearing silverware, fish, birds, snails, duckweed, and when the horse was running with her, the silver on her body naturally made a heavenly sound in the wind.
