"You mean—you've seen one of those Pekingese?"

"Yes! You've even been a guest at my house! ”

Northwest of Luxi County, Yuanling County is west of a mountain forest, the stream separates a wide road from it, there is a young woman of Miao nationality rolling up her sleeves next to the stream, first soaking the clothes in her hands in the stream, picking up a rod vertebrae from the side and beating it several times, and then changing to a brush to wash it several times, and finally stretching it out and rinsing it clean in the water, shaking slightly twice, getting up suddenly, raising both arms upward, crossing each other left and right and turning around, the washed clothes become a willow spiral, and then each hand holds one end folded in half, and the water that seeps into it with a "bang" is all unscrewed down.

"Good ——!"

I only heard a shout of praise mixed with applause from the side, which made the Miao girl "giggle" and laugh and said, "You are really interesting-"

I saw a little fat man with thin eyes standing next to him, and he laughed twice and said, "Do you Miao girls look as good-looking, virtuous and capable as you?" ”

The girl's face turned red, she lowered her head and stroked a small linen braid outside her headscarf, and said softly: "I have seen few people, and I don't know if I look good or not......

Seeing the shy appearance of this Miao girl, the young man couldn't help but be stupid, and after a while, he felt that something was wrong, shook his head violently and slapped himself, which made the beautiful woman laugh constantly.

"My name is Zhang Fan."

The young man scratched his head and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Aliu!"

The Miao girl responded very cheerfully: "In the Miao language, it means butterfly." ”

"Butterflies? What a beautiful name. ”

Zhang Fan praised: "Aliu, just now you said that the missing Beijinger has been to your house?" ”

"Yes——!"

Aliu nodded and said, "The eldest brother went to my house to drink mead the night before he disappeared, so he knows a lot!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Fan was a little surprised and asked, "Where did he go after that?" ”

Aliu asked with some doubts: "Brother Zhang Fan, do you know him?" ”

"No, someone in the town was talking about it just now, and I happened to be from Beijing, so I'm a little worried about whether this area will be unsafe."

As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, Aliu laughed out loud: "Except for the tourist attractions in Xiangxi, the folk customs are very simple. Seeing that you are pleasing to the eye and kind, I will invite you to sit at home. It's just that the eldest brother later left our village and went deep into the mountains, and he couldn't persuade him. ”

"So- can I go to your house and drink mead?"

The little fat man said embarrassedly and tentatively.

"Are you on your own?"

"No, I still have a few companions in town."

Zhang Fan said very truthfully.

"Oh......"

Aliu thought for a while and said, "Of course you can, but my grandma is at home today, and if it's late, you can stay with my sister." It's just that there are too many people to live in—"

"It's okay, I'll go by myself, it's too stuffy in town to be interesting."

Zhang Fanxian prefers the original ecological atmosphere.

"I'll help you get these clothes, don't do these menial jobs at the girl's house."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang Fan, I'm used to it, it's okay."

"Hurry up and give it to me, this kind of work should be done by men."

I saw Zhang Fan carrying a large woven basket on his back, which he said half an hour ago. Looking at the current clenched teeth, it is difficult to even breathe - how can people who are used to walking on flat ground adapt to this mountain road?

"Brother Zhang Fan?"

“……”

"Put it down, I can do it myself-"

“……”

"We have to walk four miles, shall we rest?"

"Ahh

Zhang Fan heard that there were still more than four miles to go, and suddenly spread on the ground and gasped and said, "Aliu, that's how you usually go?" ”

"yes, sometimes you go further!" Aliu replied disapprerovingly, untied the back basket behind Zhang Fan and carried it behind him, and even jumped up a few times, so shocked that Zhang Fan was speechless for a long time.

"Brother Zhang Fan, do you want to stop the meeting......?"

"I'm fine! Walk——! ”

Aliu watched Zhang Fan struggling to prop himself up and persuade, but the latter's stubborn expression was extremely firm......

There was a "poof" sound

Three hours later, Aliu and Zhang Fan turned around a corner of a mountain road, the road suddenly opened up, and there were countless stilted buildings not far away, Aliu pointed to the nearest building and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Fan, it's here, that's my house!" ”

Hearing that he had arrived at his destination, Zhang Fan leaned back and lay down in this idyllic village, feeling that there was nothing better in the world than resting like this......

"Mirao—Kay—"

Zhang Fan heard Aliu call to the house, his appearance made Aliu's family see that it was really rude, hurriedly got up to dust off the dirt on his body, ran over to Aliu's side, and stood up no longer straight.

"Knock-knock-"

There was a sound of crutches crashing from inside the house, and a Miao grandmother with wrinkled skin and a serious hunchback slowly walked out. Aliu smiled and waved his hand, Zhang Fan also called "Grandma is good", the old man looked at the two of them and nodded, didn't say anything, and went to another room.

"Grandma's ears are not very bright......"

After speaking, Aliu jumped upstairs, put down the clothes basket at the door, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Welcome friends from Beijing to visit - that's what you should say?" ”

Zhang Fan put his hands behind his back and walked into the house like a leader's inspection, and the two of them laughed back and forth.

"Brother Zhang Fan, you rest first, I'll get you mead!"

Zhang Fan answered, Aliu pushed the door and went out, and the former walked around the room, looking at the scenery outside the window very pleasantly.

"Big brother?"

The summoned person was startled, and turned his head sharply, only to see Aliu standing behind him looking at him.

"Ah, Aliu, didn't you just go out, why did you come back again, with such light steps."

Zhang Fan concealed his embarrassment, then first looked at Aliu's hand, then looked at the table and asked, "What about the mead you said?" ”

"Oh? You're here for a drink, aren't you? ”

"Ahh

Zhang Fan was confused by what Aliu said.

"You come here......"

Aliu stretched out his index finger and made a "come" gesture, and Zhang Fan walked over without knowing why.

"Then you think, I'm good...... Or is it ...... wine better? ”

Aliu rushed forward full of flattery, and before Zhang Fan could react, he felt a softness at the touch, and his brain was in a trance. The Yiren leaned up lightly, and Zhang Fan only felt a faint fragrance reverberating, as if he was in a fairyland.

With a "snap", Aliu jumped back suddenly, but his originally soft eyes were now with a touch of coldness. Looking at Zhang Fan's hand, he pinched the "seven inches" position of a small green snake, and with another "snap", the snake's neck snapped.

"Where to run!"

Aliu didn't stop for a moment and turned around and ran out, Zhang Fan shouted when he saw this, threw the snake aside and chased after him.

A scream of "ah" came from outside the door, Zhang Fan hurriedly stopped, poked his head out to look out of the door, only to see Aliu fall to the ground, his body sprinkled with a sweet smell of wine, and it turned out that he collided with another person who was about to enter the house, that person was also dressed as a Miao, and the turban was braided with a willow braid......

The appearance is indistinguishable from Aliu!

"Giggles......

From a dark corner, there was an eerie laugh!
