"What's this day?"
Zhou You asked curiously, he didn't know much about these customs in the southwest region.
"Oh, it is equivalent to the meaning of rushing to the market, which is the custom of the southwest region, generally three days a wei, is "one hundred and forty-seven" wei, "two hundred and fifty-eight" wei, "three hundred and sixty-nine" wei, and there are also five days for a round, depending on the lunar calendar, divided into "one six" wei, "two seven" wei, "three eight" wei, "four nine" wei and "fifty" wei. Two adjacent polders, the polder period does not overlap, so that both buyers and sellers have more trading opportunities, and this Wuluo Town's Dawei Day is more special, only once every other month, and it will be very lively!" Luo Zhongkun explained.
"Oh! No wonder there are so many boats on this river!
"Yes! Due to special historical and geographical reasons, the trade method of this Wuluo town is very special, and most of the goods involved in the trade are completed by ship, in the local language, it is called "no mules and horses, flying in the water", which means that the land route is not smooth, only in the water trade... It's a bit exaggerated, but it's mostly true!" Luo Zhongkun said.
"Hehe, this is also very local!" Zhou You said with a smile.
"Yes, this is the Miao area around Wuluo Town, and it is all such customs. Luo Zhongkun said.
"Okay, it's not early, Lao Luo, you hurry up and contact a boat owner to see if we can take his boat tomorrow and enter the Miaojiang mountains. Zhou You said to him.
"Oh, okay! you wait here..."
Luo Zhongkun nodded, then walked to the dock and talked to the boat owner on the boat along the coast in the local Miao dialect.
Tossing all the way, about twenty minutes or so, Luo Zhongkun came back a little dejected...
"Lao Luo, how are you talking?" Zhou You immediately asked him.
"I've talked to a lot of wooden boat owners, and most of them have to stay here for two or three days because they have to wait for loading and unloading of their cargo, and they are basically 'mature seedlings', and they don't want to go deep into the Miaojiang area where the 'seedlings' are located," Luo Zhongkun said.
"Uh... Then let's give them more money as travel expenses, can't we?" Zhou You asked again.
"This can't be solved by adding money, because Miao people are very trustworthy in business, as long as they make an agreement with the customer, they will generally strictly abide by it, and no matter how much money they add, they can't break their rules!"
Luo Zhongkun explained, then sighed and said: "Unless we wait for two or three days, after the end of the Daxu Day, it is possible to find someone who is willing to take us to the deep mountains of Miaojiang!"
"Ahh
Zhou You was shocked when he heard this, and then asked without giving up: "Is there no other way?"
"The question... It's very difficult, even if we have our own boats, but there are many waterways here, criss-crossed, we are not familiar with waterways, even if we can enter the deep mountains of Miaojiang, if there is no one to lead the way, we can't find a specific direction!" Luo Zhongkun scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"Alas... I didn't expect us to come here, and we were stumped by this reason!"
Zhou You sighed, and suddenly pointed to the few isolated "Shengmiao" Wupeng boats at the bend of the river in front of him, and said: "I think so, since our purpose is to enter the remote mountains where the "Shengmiao" is located, it is better to talk to the owners of those Wupeng boats, maybe they are willing to take us in!"
"Uh... Mr. Zhou, although your suggestion is very good, it is very difficult to implement! You must know that under normal circumstances, "Sheng Miao" generally does not like to associate with outsiders, especially Han Chinese!" Luo Zhongkun immediately said.
"It may be difficult, but how do you know if you don't give it a try!
Zhou You said, and simply said, "Why don't I go over and ask?"
"You want to ask, but they are "seedlings", and they speak the native language that is basically unique to the Miao people, and they may not be able to understand the Chinese you speak..."Luo Zhongkun said.
Zhou You was stunned, and he found that what Luo Zhongkun said was not unreasonable, so he became entangled...
At this moment, a female voice suddenly came out of a Wupeng boat in front: "Who said we can't understand Chinese!"
That female voice is not only clear and moving, but also quite standard Chinese, which can be called a correct and round tone, and it even sounds a little charming and charming!
"Uh... This... What's going on?"
Zhou You was startled, subconsciously glanced at Luo Zhongkun next to him, and then asked him.
"This... I don't know..."
Luo Zhongkun hurriedly shook his head.
In fact, Luo Zhongkun was even more shocked in his heart than Zhou You, after all, he knew that the woman in the Wupeng boat in front of him could only come from the depths of Miao Jiang where "Sheng Miao" lived, in those remote mountainous areas.
And most of the "Shengmiao" live a life isolated from the outside world, basically few people know how to speak Chinese, and the woman in the Wupeng boat can speak Chinese so smoothly, which is completely beyond Luo Zhongkun's expectations!
However, Zhou You quickly stabilized his mood, and he quickly shouted at the Wupeng boat: "Girl, since you know how to speak Chinese, you might as well come out and talk to us!"
"Wow!"
The woman in the Wupeng boat answered very simply.
As soon as the words fell, the curtain covering the door of the Wupeng boat was lifted, and a slender and graceful figure walked out of the cabin slowly.
However, as soon as Zhou You and Luo Zhongkun saw her appear, they couldn't help but be stunned at the same time...
Because this woman was dressed in a blue-blue cotton weaving gunny, with a green cloth headkerchief coiled around her hair, which looked like a "robe", and a silver cloth belt tied around her waist, with several strange patterns embellished in it, and wrapped clockwise around her body, this is a very rare Miao girl clothing.
Moreover, this woman's face was covered with a black veil, so that people couldn't see her appearance clearly at all, if it weren't for hearing her crisp and moving voice just now, and her graceful and graceful posture, it would be possible to roughly judge that she should be a young woman!
The most special thing is that this young Miao girl not only has a veil on her face, but also a pair of brown deerskin gloves on her hands, which looks very weird, making her body up and down, but with a cold and cold atmosphere...
As soon as the woman got out of the cabin, her eyes looked directly at Zhou You, and at this time, Zhou You also happened to look at her, and when the two looked at each other, an incredible scene appeared...
