On the second day, the day of the start of the Miao Reed Sheng Festival on June 27, Liu Yu and several members of the Yue family went to the Miao family Dazhai to attend the first meeting on the He people.

This meeting was initiated by the Miao people, to be precise, it was initiated by the Zhong Miao, together with the North Miao and the South Miao who belonged to the Miao people, in addition to the An, Bai, Wa and some small tribes, many of which suffered heavy losses in this raid on the Dikui, and even lost their homes, and had to come over to accept the conditions offered by the Miao people to cling to.

At this time, the Yue people were already a small tribe, so they were not taken seriously, and the representatives of the Yue people who were allowed to enter the Miao village were limited to four, Liu Yu occupied a position as a diplomatic envoy of the Yue people, and He Lu volunteered to go with him, in addition to two other people who went together. Outside the central building of the Miao village, Liu Yu also met the messenger of Nan Miao, and the Nan Miao Ga Luo Nongyi he had seen before was also among them.

Nanmiao, as the second largest group after Zhongmiao, represented more than a dozen people this time, and the first one was an old man in his sixties and seventies with crutches. Liu Yu has already learned that Nan Miao's elder name is Nong Ah Liu, and this person has been the top decision-maker of Nan Miao for 50 years, which can be said to be rich in qualifications.

When meeting the representative of the Yue tribe, Nong Yi pointed to this side to show the old man, and the old man nodded at this side as a greeting. Because of the special occasion, Nanmiao's people did not come to get close to the danger in order to avoid danger.

Because the old Dali of the Miao nationality died, and the old Dali of the Miao nationality is the old man of Zhongmiao, so in the case of no old man, Zhongmiao has to take into account the funeral and the meeting of the He people, which seems to be very hasty. When the representatives of all ethnic groups arrived, the central earthen building of Damiao Village was still not open on the Zhongmiao side, and everyone could only wait outside for the time being.

Until almost noon. Zhongmiao's side is late. Several of the men were wrapped in black veils. Judging from the descriptions and demeanor of these people, Liu Yu guessed that they should be tribal personnel at the level of Elder Zhongmiao. They also casually greeted each other, and Liu Yu and the others also entered the earthen building with the representatives of other tribes.

Everyone sat down, and the meeting officially began.

Without any prelude, the meeting went straight to the topic, and the temporary acting elder of Zhongmiao reiterated the proposal of the former Dali Laohe clan again, and it was not surprising that this proposal was raised. It was immediately drowned out by criticism.

Their own tribe was annexed, and no one would want to, so it was not only the Yue who opposed this proposal, but also the Miao themselves, especially the Northern Miao. On the contrary, there are also those who support this proposal, in addition to Zhong Miao and Nan Miao, who have ghosts, there are even Bai people. Only then did Liu Yu know why the Bai people didn't see the envoy of the Yue people, because the Bai people also had some unknown purpose. It may be that he was bought, or he may want to be the head of a new big group like Nan Miao.

There were dozens of people attending the entire meeting. They all sit on bamboo chairs and sit in front of a large drum, because the drum is used by the Miao people for sacrifice, so the Miao people also worship the drum as a holy object. Liu Yu really wanted to find Liu Liniang's figure from these people, but except for a woman from the Bai tribe as a representative, the rest were men, and Liu Yu didn't find that Liu Liniang was disguised during the period.

"Ethnic union is the trend of the times, if there is any tribe group that is unwilling to join, then we Miao people will not object, but in the future when we encounter the attack of the Han people, we Miao people will not provide any assistance. Even if you are not afraid of the army of the Dikui, please don't forget, the army of the Shun Dynasty is about to kill, and their emperor is a sheep, but there is a vicious tiger beside the sheep, and he will devour your people! ”

Originally, Zhong Miao's proposal was being criticized, but he didn't expect that Nan Miao's Li Lao Nong Ah Liu had already stood up and taken the lead in saying cruel words, and he said this as if he was already a Dali elder of the Miao people.

And Liu Yu listened to what he said about sheep and tigers, and he felt very wrong in his heart, and if he was a tiger, he didn't have to come to "teach" this group of "sheep" in person.

Hearing Nong Ah Liu's words, the tribes that had opinions had nothing to say for the time being. Nong Aliu's words are not alarmist, they are basically facts, and only when all the departments and groups are united can they be twisted into a rope to unite with the outside world.

It took a short time for the proposal of the He clan to be negotiated from full of criticism to the most unruly. This first major event has been decided, and all that remains is who will be the leader of the new big nation, and the quarrel is even more fierce on this point, and several peoples, even those unknown small peoples, are also arguing with loud voices.

What they were speaking at this time was Miao language, and Liu Yue couldn't understand it, so Liu Yu didn't speak, and asked He Lu to translate it for him.

The Miao people advocate that the Miao people should take the Miao Dali as the leader of the new big ethnic group, and all the tribes should respect it and obey orders in everything. The other peoples, on the other hand, basically expressed the intention of forming a large nation in a loose way, so that they could continue to operate independently, and only in time of war did the armament of the tribes be combined with the outside world, which was also a very good proposal, but it was not adopted because it was not in the interests of the careerists.

Under the quarrel, it is difficult for several parties to reach a consensus.

When the people of all parties quarreled, two parties did not express their opinions, one side was the Bai people, and the other side was the Yue side.

The Bai people have been in silence, like a listener without insight, and the Yue people seem to be "discussing in private", He Lu constantly translates the words to Liu Yue, and when Liu Yue does not understand the concept, He Lu has to explain it through his insight.

Among the parties to the dispute, the south Miao and the middle Miao have the greatest momentum, and the two sides are inextricably linked. Nan Miao believes that in the Miao people, the second only to the status of the newly deceased Dali old man is Nan Miao's old Nong Ah Liu, after all, Nong Ah Liu has been the elder for more than 50 years, and he has made great achievements in the Miao people, and he should inherit the death of Dali Lao. As for the middle and Miao people, they believe that everything should be "elected according to the rules of the Miao people".

The two parties couldn't hold each other, and when they saw the Yue people muttering there, the host of Zhongmiao drank: "Yue people, what do you have to say to your face, what kind of ability is it to talk behind your back?" ”

The Chinese and Miao people speak in Chinese, and Liu Yu also understands it. The audience fell silent, and everyone looked at the Yue people, especially Liu Yu, who was sitting in the middle of the four Yue people.

Liu Yu stood up and said with a smile: "We Yue people think that the Dali elders after the Hezu clan should indeed be elected. ”

The Zhong Miao people thought that the Yue people were frightened by their momentum just now, so they agreed with their point of view, and were about to rejoice, but who knew that the young man in front of them added with a smile: "But we also have the right to be elected!" ”

"What do you say? Audacious and reckless, not self-sufficient, how many of you Yue people are left, why were they elected to become Dali elders? ”

The people present began to talk a lot, especially the Miao people, who were even more indignant that the Yue people were not qualified.

"If we are more than others, we are indeed not qualified." Liu Yu said, "But what if we unite with the An and Wa people to fight for such a right? ”

After Liu Yu finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone turned their eyes to the representatives of the An and Wa tribes. Although the scale of the An and Wa tribes cannot be compared with that of the Miao people, their tripartite alliance with the Yue people is indeed powerful enough, and it is also said that they want to fight for the right to be elected.

The people of Zhongmiao immediately sought the meaning of the Wa and An people, and the Wa and An people had already communicated with the Yue people in advance, and at this time they also expressed their agreement with the Yue people's proposal.

The people of Zhongmiao had a black face, obviously not expecting that these small ethnic groups would unite to fight against them.

"Since the three of them have joined forces to fight, we, the Bai clan, naturally have to fight for the right to be elected." Just when the audience was silent, waiting for Zhong Miao's people to attack, the Bai tribe suddenly broke the silence and said.

When the audience began to discuss, many people were thinking, these tribesmen are crazy, competing with the Miao people for the position of Dali elder, and soon they will be as incompetent as a grasshopper shaking a tree?

Zhong Miao's people didn't immediately agree or object, but turned to look at Bei Miao and Nan Miao, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Beimiao itself is weak and has no right to speak, so they did not say that the people of Zhongmiao thought that Nanmiao must not agree to let so many family members compete for the position of Dali Elder. But there is an additional condition, now we Wufang people, in the way that the Miao people elect the Dali elders, decide who will be the new national Dali elders! ”

Miao people recommend Dali Lao, take the village as a unit, come out to compete three times, respectively, jump the flower rope, throw bamboo poles and songs, and after the group, the winner will decide who will be Dali Lao. This is the way that the Miao people have passed down through the ages to promote the elders of Dali, and they have been eliminated in many cases. This rule seems to be very fair, but there are "tricks", that is, any winning village has "one vote", and the final vote is used to decide who will be the elder of Dali. It turns out that the old village in Dali is the largest village, and there are many capable people, even if they are defeated, they can use force to "snatch" the votes back.

Liu Yu thought to himself that Nan Miao's people should think that there were vassals among the five people, such as the Yue people, who helped them win votes, so they had the courage to put forward such a plan.

Zhong Miao saw that everyone from all sides agreed to the Yue people's proposal, and the people on his side were alone, so it was difficult to raise any more objections, so he could only agree.

Liu Yu suddenly added: "The Miao people elected the elder of Dali, using the Miao way, which is unfair to our tribes. We propose that the people on the five sides propose their own way of competing, and take turns to compete......"

Liu Yu said this, and there was a lot of discussion below.

After all, the Yue people represented by Liu Yu are too "scene-stealing" today, which can be described as being out of the limelight. Liu Yu, a young man, repeatedly put forward the "non-division" request, which was regarded as ignorant of current affairs.

However, Liu Yu's proposal was immediately agreed to by Nan Miao and Bei Miao, and even the Bai people immediately agreed, so that Zhong Miao was isolated.

Zhong Miao also felt that he was the strongest party, and now it was normal to be suppressed by other parties joining forces, and they still agreed with a black face after the last day.

The meeting ended in a rather harmonious atmosphere, and the people from all sides had to go back to prepare for the five-round competition, which would begin on the evening of 27 June. Because of the lack of understanding of the content of the comparative test, all parties can only temporarily prepare for the one they want to propose for the competition, and by the way, find out the bravest, capable, and intelligent people in their own clan, and be ready to deal with it at any time.
