Chapter 771: The Fate of the Remnant Mirage
The road from Jinxiu to Liuxiang is extremely difficult, but everyone's luck is relatively good, whether it is S90 or Buick Luzun, there is no disappointment, not even a small accident.
There are no serious big hotels in the six lanes, some are just some small private hotels, and everyone went in to see the rooms and bathrooms are quite clean. There is no water heater in the hotel, but the host said that a large pot of hot water will be boiled for everyone at night, and it must be no problem to take a bath.
Fifteen people directly occupied a hotel, which shows how small the hotel is here. And what can give people infinite surprise is that there is a wireless base station in such a remote place as Sixth Lane, as long as the power is not cut in the town, mobile phones are basically available here.
The highway to the Liuxiang Township Government is at the end, there are still a lot of senior travelers here, and the residents of the township except for some old people and children, almost no longer see the wearing of national costumes, the afterimage mirage to see the original Yao Village is of course not here.
There is a place called Mentou farther away than the sixth lane, and the road from the sixth lane to the door is not even a gravel road, even if the chassis is heightened and equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive off-road vehicle can not guarantee that it will be able to drive through, but also depends on the driver's skill, so you can only take a carriage.
The room fee for accommodation in Lane 6 is very cheap, 5 yuan per person, and the carriage is cheaper - you don't need money at all, as long as you inquire clearly that there is a carriage that goes from Lane 6 to Mentou, you can discuss with Yao Compatriots and let them take a ride. Of course, the horses in Yaoshan are all short and thin horses, and people like Yang Dazhuang who stand up like an iron tower are absolutely embarrassed to rub other people's carriages.
After arriving at the Sixth Lane, except for the three who had been soldiers such as Remnant Mirage and Lao Lei, everyone else was reluctant to continue to move forward, of course, Zeng Jun still had to accompany Remnant Mirage to find the Yaozhai in his dreams.
Bing Lan They don't have to worry, a few little beauties have already used beauty tricks to kidnap the owner of the hotel, Uncle Lan, and asked Uncle Lan to accompany everyone to various nearby Yao villages throughout the past few days.
There are a lot of small Yao villages around the six lanes, although the living habits of the people here have been assimilated by the Han people, but because of the relationship between little contact with the outside world, they can still maintain the most simple thoughts of the Chinese working people, there are beautiful mountains and rivers without any modification, which should be enough for Binglan and others to play happily for several days.
……
The five of them were divided into two groups and went on the road, Lao Lei and the three of them walked as soldiers, only Zeng Jun and Afterimage miraged on a Yao cell's carriage, but most of these carriages couldn't run on the road, and the speed was actually not much different from walking.
The 56-kilometer trail took 12 hours, and it was already evening when we arrived at the door. Mentou is different from Liuxiang, there are almost no people coming in here, and the merchants who come to collect tea and medicinal herbs are only willing to go to Liuxiang, so there are no hostels or restaurants in Mentou, only a few small shops selling simple daily necessities. Fortunately, the Yao compatriots were more enthusiastic, not only provided dinner for the five people, but also enthusiastically arranged a place for the five people to sleep at night.
When they went to bed at night, several people were immediately dumbfounded, the so-called place of residence is a huge bare board bed with a width of more than six meters, the host family all slept on this big bed, and the family squeezed next to make some space for the guests to sleep at night (the traditional Yao people have such living habits, it should be the Yao people, I hope the wolf on the street is not mistaken).
Even Lao Lei, who had crawled for a long time in the rainforests of the south to catch fugitives, was not accustomed to this non-separation lifestyle. When they came, everyone brought tents, and the four of them encouraged Zeng Jun to tell his master that he wanted to go camping outside.
Zeng Jun was not sure whether making such a request at this time would arouse the disgust of the master's family, but in the end, the temptation to avoid cohabitation overcame the psychological fear, and finally made a request to the master to camp in the yard.
Thankfully, the host was not angry, nodded in understanding, and prepared a handful of wormwood for them to repel mosquitoes.
Early the next morning, they heard from the owner's mouth that they continued to walk forward, and then turned over the two mountains in front, and on the top of the third mountain there was the kind of Yao village they were looking for, called Gaoshan Yao.
After thanking the master, the five of them went on the road together, originally wanting to leave some money for the master, but the people refused to ask for it. Searching all over the body, Lao Lei finally gave the owner a military flashlight that has been used from the army to the present, and the power is often cut off in the mountains, and the flashlight that can be charged repeatedly is very practical here.
At the gate, they brought enough dry food and weapons for self-defense, and set out with their tents on their backs, and the master specially asked them to bring some rice, flour, dried vegetables, and weapons against wild beasts. If it weren't for Zeng Jun and his party looking extraordinary (ignore the pig's feet), the owner might insist on following them.
On the first night, there were several thatched huts halfway up the second mountain, and the simple stoves in them had water, rice, noodles and air-dried vegetables. It was only then that a few people understood why the owner asked them to bring something like rice and noodles.
This should be a temporary foothold built by the Yao compatriots in the mountain, and they can settle here when they go outside the mountain to buy daily fire supplies.
Everyone started to cook on the fire, and they consciously didn't touch the half of the cured chicken.
Rest in the hut at night, it is very safe, although there are wild beasts howling from time to time nearby, but no wild beasts break in and disturb you all night.
Everyone got up early the next morning, leaving the unused rice noodles and dried vegetables to continue to cross the mountains and mountains, and in the evening, when the smoke curled in the Yao village, the five people finally arrived at their destination.
Suddenly, I saw a few strangers in strange costumes breaking in, and the children in the village did not panic, and one of them, a little older about 10 years old, took the initiative to come up and ask: "Which family are you looking for?" ”
Hearing that a few people were here to travel, the child nodded and said, "Then you can go to my house." As he spoke, he turned and led the way.
Later, Zeng Jun and the others learned that this child was the youngest son of their village owner.
It's a small Yao village with no name, a total of about 50 families, all of whom have the surname Lan, and make a living by growing cash crops such as tea (Yaoshan tea), ginger and star anise, but it is hard work to sell them outside.
Zeng Jun noticed that there was no one in the village that was not a traditional national costume, the women in the village all shaved their heads, and the unmarried little girl wrapped her hair tightly in a white towel, without revealing a trace.
There are probably very few people in this place, but the villagers are very enthusiastic, five people enter the house with the children, and the housewife is preparing dinner, and after greeting the guests, they immediately go to add oil and rice to help the guests prepare dinner.
The man took out a bamboo hookah and asked everyone to smoke. This thing is said to be available in Yunnan, but everyone can't play with it, so they politely refuse the owner's kindness.
The owner of the village has a daughter named Xiaoya, about twenty years old, very beautiful, the afterimage mirage is constantly staring at others when eating, the strange thing is that she was looked at like this by a strange man, the little girl didn't blush, and the village chief's family seemed to turn a blind eye to it, making Zeng Jun feel that his worries were superfluous.
After dinner, there was a surprise in the evening, Juzhai actually held a traditional bonfire party to welcome the five guests who came from afar.
It is said that the people in the Yao village are hospitable, and every guest who comes to the door is treated as a guest regardless of whether they know it or not, and it seems that the legend is true.
I don't know if I drank a few packs of grain wine or was dazzled by beauty, Xiaoya said that she wanted to show her hair to the remnant mirage, and the remnant mirage agreed in a daze.
When Zeng Jun wanted to stop it, Xiaoya had already untied the white towel in Baotou, Zeng Jun immediately panicked, pulled the afterimage mirage aside, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Do you know what it means after an unmarried girl shows a man's hair here?" ”
"What does that mean?"
"It means that this girl will follow you in this life, if you don't agree, the youth here will kill you, you kid just wait to stay here and be a son-in-law."
"It's not that serious." A voice sounded behind them, and the two turned their heads to look, not knowing when the owner of the village was already behind them.
"Those are some of the old rules of the past, and there are many female babies in the village who have been admitted to study outside in the past ten years, do you have to wrap your head all day long outside? Or do you have to catch a young man first, read his hair, settle down and then leave? The owner of the village asked with a smile.
"This ......" Zeng Jun was speechless.
Through the introduction of the owner of the village, everyone knew that Xiaoya was not the daughter of the owner of the village, but also from outside, but after coming here, she lived and never left, and also built a primary school in the village, so that the children can go to school at home without boarding outside relatives.
As for Xiaoya's life experience, she has never mentioned it herself, and everyone doesn't plan to ask.
"However, taking the initiative to show people the hair, this should be Xiaoya's initiative to express her admiration, and during the meal, we found that this friend's eyes were not ordinary when he looked at Xiaoya, if it was really intentional, you should find a time to pick her up." After speaking, the owner of the village lowered his head and took a puff of hookah.
"Then what will happen to your elementary school after she leaves?" Remnant Mirage asked worriedly.
The owner of the village frowned deeply, lowered his head and continued to smoke, and said after a long time: "We can't delay the rest of people's lives for our small village." ”
"He doesn't have to go, I'll come, I'll come after I go back and deal with the affairs of the city, I'll stay here and be your son-in-law, teach here with him, and I have the strength to learn the work in the countryside."
Almost two years ago, there was one less top killer in the world and one more top assassin player in China, and now, there is one less top assassin in China, and there is one more rural teacher in this unknown Xiaoxiao village who teaches children in the morning and works in the fields in the afternoon.
