Chapter 138: Yuzhu Village
"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you, you've come ashore!" Wu Ling'er pushed Xu Gang's shoulder.
"Oh, it's here!" Xu Gang looked a little distracted.
"What are you thinking, so engrossed?" Wu Ling'er looked at him with concern and said.
"I suddenly remembered that one of the people who besieged me yesterday had appeared in my dream not long ago, and it seemed that he had seen it before in my dream, but I couldn't remember it, and I had a headache!" Xu Gang patted his head lightly and said slowly.
"If you can't think about it, don't think about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" After Wu Ling'er finished speaking, she jumped ashore and helped Zhai's father tie the bamboo row, and Xu Gang also jumped to the shore when he saw this.
Zhai Aduo glanced at Xu Gang a few times and said with a smile: "Distinguished guest, there is no need to trouble you for these small things, you should go and do important things quickly!" ”
Although Xu Gang was brought by Wu Ling'er, but Zhai Ah Laocheng is serious, and he is still reluctant to have too much contact with the Han people, Xu Gang has already seen it, so he nodded, and gave a salute and said: "Today's grace of crossing the river, Xu Gang is grateful, if it is indeed cheesy to talk about money, but acquaintance is always fate, this gadget will be given to Ah Yun, if you have the opportunity to come to Luzhou to play in the future, remember to come to my house as a guest, you only need to go to the state yamen to find a random officer, report your name, he can take you to find me." ”
"Cut, can the official family be so obedient?" Ah Yun took the "gadget" in his hand suspiciously, looked at it fixedly, and was dumbfounded, what kind of gadget is this, it is simply a valuable object.
It was a square jade plate, which was specially created by Wu Linger for Xu Gang, as a token of his gift, the jade plate was made of the best Hetian jade, if it is not the best, but it is also very valuable, and now it is in the hands of A Yun, it is even more valuable.
"Brother Xu, I said it a long time ago, we don't ask for anything in return for helping you, please take this thing back!" Ah Yun's face was not very good-looking, and her tone of voice became stiff.
Uh~~~ Xu Gang was suddenly dumb, Wu Ling'er looked at the deflated food on the side, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Sister Ayun, you just accept it, this jade plate is not valuable, my sister found someone to make it, if you think it's too precious and don't want to accept it, then so be it!" After Wu Ling'er finished speaking, she took the jade plate from her hand and wiped it on the ground, and the original fat and smooth side suddenly became extremely rough.
Xu Gang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the jade plate from Wu Ling'er's hand and handed it to Ah Yun: "Ah Yun, it's not precious now, you can accept it!" You don't put a piece of jade and money together, it's just a piece of my heart, you know? ”
"Hey, you ......" Ah Yun nodded slightly, looking distressed, took the jade plate, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the abrasion marks on it.
"During this time, we are all in Crescent Moon Village, Sister Ayun, if you come over, remember to play with your sister!" Wu Ling'er took her hand and said.
Ah Yun looked at her father and saw that he didn't object, so she nodded slightly.
Xu Gang smiled, and was about to clench his fists to say goodbye to Ah Yun's father and daughter, when he heard Ah Yun say: "Brother Ah Xu, now that the sky is dark, there are still more than 20 miles of foot from here, and you can't go without three hours, and they are all steep mountain roads!" Daddy......"
Zhai Ah looked at the two Xu Gang, and said helplessly: "The mountain road is far away, if a few guests don't dislike it, they will go to our Yuzhu Village tonight for a night, that is, on the mountainside above, the Miao family is simple, I am afraid that the hospitality will not be good, and the two of them will be neglected!" ”
Xu Gang looked at Wu Ling'er and saw her nodding, so he smiled and said, "Then how can you be embarrassed?" ”
Yuzhu Village is only three miles away from here, according to Xu Gang's thoughts, it should be to lift his feet, just look at the sheep intestines like the road carved in the mountains, he knows why the twenty-mile mountain road has to go for three hours!
Xu Gang followed closely behind Ah Yun, looking at the jade pendant she held in her hand, which had been wiped clean with the corners of her clothes, but the few scratches on it could no longer be erased, and she still picked it up from time to time to watch and caress it, obviously loving it very much.
Xu Gang couldn't bear it in his heart, and said lightly: "Ah Yun, why don't I give you another piece of wholeness!" ”
Ah Yun shook her head lightly and said, "It's not worth much, I like it!" ”
said, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed excitedly: "Brother Xu, look, our village has arrived!" ”
As far as the eye can see, a large bamboo forest comes into view, most of them are Nanzhu, as thick as an adult's arm, in addition to other varieties such as water bamboo, the bamboo forest is born on a slope, there is a stream in the forest that flows out slowly, straight to the edge of the cliff, and then falls into the Yangtze River, it looks like a silver belt from a distance.
Going up the stream, you come to an open lake, the surface of which is like a mirror deep into the ground in the moonlight, clear and sparkling. On the surrounding mountains, hundreds of stilted buildings stand sturdily and upright.
"What a beautiful place!" Xu Gang took a handful of water from the lake, washed his face, and kept looking around.
"Bang~~~" A loud bang came, Xu Gang quickly looked for prestige, and saw the bamboo door of a stilted building by the lake on the right flew out and smashed on the ground on the shore.
Then a few Miao people wearing black slanted robes walked out of the building with two men wearing Song army armor.
Ah Yun, who was originally elated, suddenly changed her face and shouted: "It's not good, the thief is here again!" ”
"Brother Xu, Sister Ling'er, you hide here first, don't move, we'll come when we go! Daddy, let's go~~" Ah Yun was eager, Zhai Ah was also scorched, and the two quickly rushed along the steep lake to the village.
Xu Gang raised his head and looked at it intently, and his brows furrowed tightly: "Ling'er, you see that the one in armor is the half of the eyebrows that besieged me that day!" ”
Wu Ling'er nodded silently when she heard this......
The half-eyebrow man held a bright long knife in his hand, escorting an old man of the Miao family in his fifties, constantly shouting and driving into the Miao village, but standing opposite them were hundreds of Miao people from Yuzhu Village, all holding firewood knives, blocking in front of them, glaring angrily.
"Xiang Shan, how dare you stop the officials from the imperial court? Are you Yuzhu Village ready to rebel?! Several Miao people who entered the village with two men in armor held the firewood knife in their hands, kept shaking, and pointed at a Miao youth in the crowd opposite and shouted loudly.
This young Miao man named Xiangshan was in his twenties, with a dark face and a tall and strong appearance, he stared at the man who spoke, and spat fiercely: "I!! I don't know where to pick up a suit of armor and put it on, I really think I'm an official? Da Zhuo, don't take everyone else for fools, and when did you black seedlings become the lackeys of officials? ”
The Miao people live in large dispersions and small settlements, so they are divided into different villages, separated by dozens of miles. According to the different settlements, it is divided into different branches: such as long skirt seedlings, short skirt seedlings, red seedlings, white seedlings, green seedlings, flower seedlings, black seedlings, etc., there are strict differences in the color of clothing, and each department has its own village and leader.
Ah Yun's father and daughter belong to Hong Miao, Wu Ling'er told him on the road, Xiang Shan is dressed the same as Ah Yun's father and daughter, they are also red Miao, and this Dazhuo belongs to Black Miao, judging from their conversation, there should be a contradiction between Black Miao and Red Miao.
