As soon as he came to Wang Xingzhong's house, Shi Ajian, who followed behind, immediately went to work in the kitchen, because Wang Xingzhong's wife was dead, and he had no children under his knees, and Shi Ajian was Wang Xingzhong's most proud apprentice, basically his closest person.

Wang Xingzhong took Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun into the house, invited the two of them to sit down, and then said to them with a smile: "Two guests, don't you think it's strange, why do I, as the village chief of Shengmiao Village, speak Chinese?"

"Well, yes, why is that?"

Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that this was indeed a strange question.

"Hehe, wait a minute... It didn't take long to understand what was going on!"

Wang Xingzhong said, then walked into the bedroom, changed his clothes and came out.

I only saw the clothes that Wang Xingzhong changed into, the style was quite strange, it was a round neck and wide sleeves, a golden yellow outfit, and some patterns were embroidered on it, wearing a crown hat on his head, and a belt around his waist, which looked quite majestic, and had the breath of an ancient general, which was completely different from the dress of ordinary Miao people.

"Do you know why the old man is dressed like this?"

After Wang Xingzhong walked out, he directly asked Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun.

"Uh... Senior, this doesn't seem to be your Miao people's clothes, right?"

Zhou You took a closer look and muttered, "I think it's more like a military general's outfit sometime in modern times." ”

"yes... I also feel a little familiar, but I can't remember for a while, what dynasty this is!" Luo Zhongkun next to him also said.

"Could it be that this is the costume of the Han people?"

Zhou You muttered again, the more he looked at it, the more he felt like some kind of Hanfu.

And Luo Zhongkun is most familiar with the history of Miao District, as soon as he saw Wang Xingzhong's dress and heard Zhou You's words, he was suddenly startled in his heart, but he didn't speak, but pondered thoughtfully.

This "Degou", in Miao language: The meaning of the little brother, looking at your appearance, you should know something, right?"

Wang Xingzhong saw that Luo Zhongkun was silent, but took the initiative to ask him.

Luo Zhongkun was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken! It should be the costume of the Taiping Army, right?"

"Hehe... You are right, this is the outfit of the vanguard officer of the Taiping Army!"

Wang Xingzhong nodded with a smile, and then said: "Speaking of which, the old man is a descendant of the generals of the Taiping Army!"

"Hmm, the Taipings!"

Zhou You came back to his senses at this time, no wonder he felt that Jiang Xingzhong's outfit was a little familiar, but he didn't expect it to be a military general's costume of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"The old man's ancestor is also a native of Miao, but the old man's ancestor once participated in the Taiping Army!" Wang Xingzhong explained.

"Oh! It turns out that the ancestor of the village chief is actually a Miao person who participated in the Taiping Army!"

Luo Zhong Kunming came over and said: "It is said that the Taiping army traveled all over the country back then, and the winged king Shi Dakai returned to Chu from Shu, and the army passed through the Miao area, with strict discipline, and there was no crime in the autumn, and the Miao people around them automatically supplied food, and at that time, there were many Miao people who joined the Taiping Army!"

"That's right! The ancestor of the old man is the vanguard officer under the command of Li Fuyou, the general of the Wing King Shi Dakai, and he is also his personal guard!" Wang Xingzhong said with a smile.

"Oh, I heard that this Li Fuyou is a fierce general under the command of the Wing King Shi Dakai..."Luo Zhongkun exclaimed.

"Yes, so the Chinese language that the old man can speak is basically handed down from his ancestors!"

Wang Xingzhong smiled, and suddenly said: "The old man's ancestor, the reason why the Chinese language has been passed down is because the ancestor once made a rule, if one day, if a Han person enters Songming Village again, then use the Chinese dialect to consult its intention, so that you can distinguish the other party's intention and friend and foe, if the person who comes is not a friend or foe, the old man must find a way to kill it!"

"Ahh

Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun were both shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other.

It's just that the two of them have been able to figure out why Wang Xingzhong suddenly came out wearing this dress like this, and then showed that he was a descendant of the generals of the Taiping Army, this special identity, and said such murderous words, what did he mean by what he wanted to express?

"You must be wondering, why am I telling you this?"

When Wang Xingzhong saw the surprised and uncertain appearance of the two, he knew that they had doubts in their hearts.

"Uh... yes!"

Zhou You is not pretentious, so he simply nodded.

"Actually, the old man did this, firstly, to follow the ancestral teachings, and secondly, to show his identity and protect the clansmen!" Wang Xingzhong said.

"Uh... Senior, what's going on?" Zhou You asked him hurriedly.

"It's a long story..."

Wang Xingzhong sighed and said: "Retrospectively, it is actually directly related to "Thunder Drum Town"!"

"Hmm, it has something to do with the "Thunder Drum Town" we're heading to?"

Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun were shocked at the same time, feeling incredible.

At this time, Shi Ajian had already brought up the cooked meals one after another and placed them on the table, full of steaming, fragrant chicken, duck and fish, as well as the unique fried baba of the Miao family, which made people move their appetites at a glance...

"Alright, the meal is ready, it's a long story, let's talk while we eat..."

Wang Xingzhong beckoned the two to the banquet, and according to the rules of Miao Village, he brought chicken legs and fried baba to them respectively, and said: "Ah Jian, this kid's skills are not bad, let's try it!"

Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun got up early in the morning, and when Duoyang came here from Wuluo Town, they hadn't eaten all the time, and they were already hungry.

The chicken and duck meat are home-raised, freshly killed and cooked, very fresh, not only has a pure natural meat fragrance, it tastes very good, far from those birds in the city who eat feed and feed the big can be compared, especially the fried baba, there are strong Miao family food characteristics, and the taste is crispy and glutinous, it is very delicious!

This also surprised the two, they didn't expect that Shi Ajian, a man from the Miao family, seemed to be rough, but his cooking skills were so good!

Seeing that the two of them were eating deliciously, Wang Xingzhong talked about it, and then continued to talk......

In the past, the Taiping Heavenly Civil Strife, the Wing King Shi Dakai led the army to leave Tianjing City, turned to fight thousands of miles, was suppressed by the Qing army on the bank of the Dadu River, after the defeat, Li Fuyou was also killed, and my ancestors and dozens of clansmen who participated in the Taiping Army, after hardships and dangers, fled back to Wuya Village, but this matter was known to the Tusi Nasa of "Thunder Drum Town".

Nasa Tusi had been coveting the land and resources of our Songming Village for a long time, and after learning the news, he immediately reported the matter to the Qing army...
