Chapter 47 Tujia
Yan Xiaoying shook her head, and suddenly said to me with a serious face: "Every industry has its own famous skills, in fact, you mountain guards are not worse than us, or even more powerful. Take the mountain whip you hold in your hand, for example, it can seal the Yin Spirit Resentful Spirit inside, and the more you seal, the more powerful it becomes. Just imagine, if you have 100,000 Yin Spirit Souls sealed with the Mountain Whip in your hand, what kind of scene would it be? I'm afraid that even the real immortal god will have to back down three points when he sees it. ”
Hearing Yan Xiaoying say this, I wasn't so depressed, but now, I didn't know how to use the Mountain Whip at all, let alone use it to seal the Yin Spirit Soul.
Now all I know is that it's of good quality, and it hurts to hit someone.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Yan Xiaoying suddenly lowered her voice and told me a secret. She said that her grandmother was a little surprised when she first saw the whip I was carrying.
I asked her, "As a mountain guard, I have a mountain whip, what's so surprising?" ”
Yan Xiaoying shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm surprised that you have a mountain whip, but I'm surprised by the materials you use to drive the mountain whip, she told me that the handle of your mountain whip and the bundle of wool ornaments are made with a judge's pen." ”
"What? Judge pen? ”
I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, and hurriedly took the whip to check, and found that the handle of the whole whip was oval, dark gold, and the hair ornament didn't look peculiar.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the wool ornament was really removed from the pen.
For a moment, I couldn't help but think of what he said to me when I first met Judge Xunyang. I also understood why my grandfather ran away.
It turned out that the old man had dismantled other people's judges' pens to make a mountain whip, no wonder he hid this whip so deeply, and his feelings were afraid of being discovered.
And after I found the mountain whip, I always carried it with me, if it was seen by the judge of the sun or the people of the Yin Division, then it would be okay?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly felt that this mountain whip was simply hot taro.
My face was gloomy and uncertain, Yan Xiaoying seemed to know what I was thinking, and smiled: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, people from the Yin Division can't come to the yang world casually, and the judge of the sun patrol has a lot of friendship with your grandfather, even if he knows that his judge's pen has been removed, it is estimated that it will not harm your life, and even if he wants to settle accounts, he will find your grandfather, and he will not be angry with you, a junior, which will lose his face." ”
"Really?" I was so miserable that I was about to cry.
The old man is really a god pit, and even the mountain whip left behind has such a big trouble.
"Naturally, it's true, so don't look down on your own mountain whip, part of it is refined with the judge's pen, and the material of the other cloth is estimated to be no worse than the judge's pen, as long as you improve your strength, you can exert greater power with it."
"I hope so."
I sighed and slipped the whip into my backpack, not daring to show it to the world again. Otherwise, maybe one day there will be Yin soldiers who will hunt down and kill themselves.
Next, I took out the map and discussed the route to the forest house with Yan Xiaoying.
The deep mountains are easy to produce demons, the mountains are full of spirits, and the depths of the mountains are full of dangers, even if there are no spirits, the harsh environment may make people lose their lives.
So we have to think in the long run, not to mention that the people who live in the deep mountains are not so friendly.
Before the 80s, bandits and bandits were rampant in this place, and I don't know how many lives were killed.
In fact, the so-called bandits and bandits are residents living in the local area. They work in the fields during the day and become robbers at night, seeking trouble from passing merchants.
There were countless merchants from other places who died in Xiangxi, so the idea of chasing corpses became popular at that time.
Although it is much better now, no one can guarantee that there are no wicked people in the mountain.
We deliberated for a while, and roughly decided on the route, which was about three hours before dawn.
Yan Xiaoying took Chen Liming's medicine box, helped me treat the wounds on my arm and stomach again, and then rested separately.
I didn't say anything all night, and I woke up at nine o'clock in the morning, and I was woken up by Yan Xiaoying.
Mainly I slept too late last night, so I don't know when to wake up.
The fog shrouded in the mountains and forests, and after we had eaten, we packed our bags and prepared to set off for the forest house deep in the 100,000 mountains.
Because both of us had injuries on their bodies, we couldn't carry too many things, and we were still in the cave except for some necessary supplies.
Climb all the way to the mountain, towards the destination, during the passage through swamps, cliff paths, deep ravines, dense forests, etc., although it is thrilling, but fortunately there are no accidents.
I won't go into all of them here.
For the sake of safety, the routes we choose are relatively safe, and some places would rather take a detour than take risks.
As a result, we're much slower, and in fact, there's no rush to do that.
According to Yan Xiaoying's estimate, we only walked a third of the route before the sun went down, which was much longer than the time we estimated when we were in the coffin shop.
We thought we would still have to sleep in the wild tonight, but at dusk, we noticed that there were paddy fields ploughed by farmers in front of us, and there were people driving cattle to plough pears in the fields.
Not far away, on a small stream, a few young girls were washing clothes, they were playing with each other in strange costumes, and several peach trees were planted by the river.
At this time, it is more than a month of the new calendar, and it has not yet reached the season of peach tree flowering, but I don't know if it is due to the climate, the peach trees have flowers/buds on them, and it is estimated that after a while, you can see the scene of peach blossoms in full bloom.
About 100 meters upstream of the river, there is a village built on the mountain, the whole village is at the foot of a large mountain, the houses are lined up in a ribbon, there are about 30 families.
The houses were surrounded by hedges and thorns, and on the right hand near the upper reaches was a bamboo forest. From a distance, the greenery is swaying, and the houses and trees reflect each other, like a paradise.
I rubbed my eyes, I couldn't believe that there was such a village in this lofty mountain. Looking at the dress of these people, they don't look like Miao people, and the map does not indicate that there is a village here.
At this time, the man working in the mountains suddenly shouted to the girl in Hanoi, and he didn't know what to shout, but it seemed to be teasing/teasing.
Anyway, I feel like I'm teasing/teasing.
Then the woman in the river sang to him.
"What are you shouting?"
The man sang, "I'll send you a silk handkerchief." ”
The female singer: "What do I want you to do with a silk handkerchief?" ”
The male singer: "Wearing it on my sister's head, the walk is good-looking, and someone is sitting and seeing, my Jiaojiaosha."
The female singer: "Oh, my brother, you sent so much." ”
Male singer: "Send less sand to things, don't say that......"
……
"Are they singing mountain songs?"
I was stunned for a moment, turned my head and asked Yan Xiaoying, "Who are these people?" Such a blatant courtship? The whole village heard it, it was too open. ”
"What courtship says so badly!"
Yan Xiaoying glanced at me, her face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "If I guess correctly, they are from the Tujia family." ”
"Tujia?"
"Yes, you can see how they are dressed. The Tujia people are the last single ethnic minority recognized by the state, and some say that they are the same as the Hmong, but in fact they are different, and they have their own Tujia language and heritage. ”
Yan Xiaoying told me that the Tujia man wrapped a green silk handkerchief or green cloth on his head, and wrapped it in a herringbone road, and did not completely cover his hair. Their tunics were called "pipa plackets" with brass buttons, plum strips and embroidered silver hooks on the edges. Young people mostly wear pairs of bras, with five to seven pairs of cloth buttons in the center, blue and blue cloth and white cloth waistbands, and shoes with sorghum white soles.
Tujia women serve, with green silk or green cloth handkerchiefs wrapped on their heads, no herringbones, large plackets, large and short left plackets, no collars, etc. The Tujia people are more particular about wearing clothes.
In the end, Yan Xiaoying also told me that embroidered insoles are the most precious gift that the girl gives to her lover.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at Yan Xiaoying with an incredible face, and asked, "How do you know so clearly?" Could it be...... You've lived here before, right? ”
"No, but my mother is a Tujia family, I have seen her wear such clothes before, and when I grew up, I checked carefully, so I knew that it was so clear."
Yan Xiaoying looked at me, and then said, "There are ...... My grandmother, she is also a Tujia person. ”
"Old Lady Yan is a Tujia family? But I don't like her accent. I was surprised.
"Accents change."
Yan Xiaoying glanced at me and said lightly: "The Tujia family is hospitable, let's stay here for one night, and then set off tomorrow morning." ”
As she spoke, the people had already walked towards the big girls in Hanoi, and I hurriedly followed.
The girls in the river soon spotted us, and looked at the two of us uninvited guests curiously with their big delicate eyes, but most of their eyes fell on Yan Xiaoying.
Not for anything else, just because her bald head is too eye-catching.
Before I met, the Tujia girls were all smart, white and beautiful, with delicate eyebrows, and cute, so I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva secretly.
It turns out that the girls of the Tujia family are so beautiful, no wonder Yan Xiaoying and her mother are so good-looking, it turns out that they are inherited.
Now, I finally understand why some people have a soft spot for girls from ethnic minorities. Their unique temperament, as well as their pure appearance, and curious costumes, are simply a fresh mudslide in this muddy society.
is accustomed to seeing vulgar fans who are dressed luxuriously and full of red dust, and then seeing this kind of innocent beauty who is isolated from the world, the visual and psychological impact is simply too great.
Although I don't think I'm a womanizer, I am a fair lady and a gentleman.
So, I'm intrigued!
But the next moment, I regretted it again.
Because when I had just imagined marrying a Tujia girl and going back to be my daughter-in-law, the piece of jade that Jingmei gave me around my neck oozed a cold chill and penetrated into my body. It made my whole body agitated, like falling into an ice cellar, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Stretched out his hand and touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, I thought that Jingmei gave me this jade pendant to protect me, but I didn't expect that there was also a role in supervising me.
This jade pendant is like a doppelganger of hers, and she can even find out what I think in my heart......
