"...... Uproar"

After turning over the old cave Miao Village, the first hill is not too high, it is a small river with turbulent water flow "Amu River", according to legend, the bandits of Wulong Mountain broke through the old Dong Miao Village, the patriarch mother at that time threw all the valuables in the village into this river, and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, so this place is called "Amu River" by everyone.

A group of five people put the supplies they brought on the river beach and waited for the arrival of the boatman Xiao Maozi.

Looking at the river, from time to time you can see a big fish jumping out of the water, making a huge splash, on the other side of the river is a steep cliff, from some cliff crevices drill out a lot of vigorous and powerful small trees, the trunk is crooked and looks quite artistic conception, and there are a large number of vines hanging on the cliff wall.

Shi Lin handed over the two guns used by the hunters in the village to Wu Zhengyi: "Uncle Wu, these two muskets are very good, and they were secretly hidden by Grandpa. ”

Wu Zhengyi took the pistol and held it in his hand, these are two shotguns, not loaded with ammunition, there are two chambers that can hold two bullets, and the shooting power of shooting at close targets should be huge, but the accuracy will be very low when used at a long distance, but compared to the muskets of the Tujia family, I don't know how many times stronger.

"Good! Good! I didn't expect that the mother still left such a hand, which is much stronger than the musket, Shilin, you left a defense, the fat man was a soldier, and the other is for you! Wu Zhengyi handed one of them to Guo Fatzi.

"Uncle Wu, I have, look!" Shi Lin lifted his coat and pinned an identical shotgun to his waistband and a scythe wrapped in a leather holster.

"It's a bullet!" Shi Lin took out another box of bullets and handed it to Guo Fatzi.

Guo Fatzi opened the box and looked: "It's only ten bullets?" I've never played with this shotgun, so I'll try it out with a tree later! ”

Shen Jinsan: "Fatty! Don't mess around! This is used for self-defense, bullets can be saved, and it will be grabbed later, in case it attracts public security, it will be troublesome! ”

The fat man loaded the bullet and thrust the shotgun into the belt: "I'll just talk about it, you think I'm so stupid!" ”

Wu Zhengyi handed the other one to Shen Jinsan: "You can use it, right?" ”

Shen Jinsan: "I've played pistols and rifles a few times in the shooting club, and this shouldn't be difficult, but what about yourself?" ”

Wu Xin: "Dad doesn't need this!" Look, there's a guy running this way! ”

It turned out that the boatman Xiao Maozi had arrived.

Shi Lin beckoned: "Little Maozi, this way!" ”

Xiao Maozi panted: "Stone Forest! My boat is down there, and the big ones will follow me! ”

followed Xiao Maozi to the place where the boat was parked, everyone was dumbfounded, what kind of boat is this, it is simply a bamboo raft that cannot be simpler.

Guo Fatzi: "Damn! This is a bamboo raft, the river is so fast, we have to stand on it, then we have to turn over! ”

Xiao Maozi scratched his head and smiled: "No, no, you can relax your heart!" ”

Wu Zhengyi: "Okay, go up to two people, and move things up first." ”

Shen Jinsan jumped on the bamboo raft: "Everything that can't touch the water is on your back, and the rest is handed to me", the fat man and Wu Xin handed the supplies to Shen Jinsan, and after fiddling with them, everyone stood on the raft.

Xiao Maozi rolled up his trouser legs, untied the rope that tied the bamboo raft, he pushed the bamboo raft in the shallows for a while, and then jumped on the bamboo raft and picked up a very long bamboo on top of it and propped it up in the river: "Everyone sit down, this boat has been soaked in tung oil, and there is no draft!" There are many sharp bends in the Amu Darya River, and when you reach the place where the water is urgent, it is easy to fall down while standing! ”

When the bamboo raft drove to the relatively gentle water, Xiao Maozi put the bamboo pole in his hand and knelt on the raft, took out a plastic bag from the cloth bag he carried, and took out a piece of bacon and some fried rice from the plastic bag and threw it into the river, he said reverently: "The great god in the water, we are all good people, this is a gift to God, please don't embarrass us!" ”

This is Xiao Maozi in the worship of the river god, the people on the bamboo raft understand, so no one dares to disturb, and when the worship is over, Xiao Maozi picked up the bamboo pole again and adjusted the direction of the raft to start supporting the boat again.

Xiao Maozi: "The elders said that there is a big river god in the Amu River, if you see a big fish jumping out of the water, it means that the big river god is nearby, and now give food to it, the big river god will not embarrass us!" ”

This Amu Darya River is really as Xiao Maozi said, nine bends and eighteen bends, where the river narrows, the water flow is so rapid that it seems to be able to swallow the bamboo raft directly, but fortunately, Xiao Maozi is skilled in supporting the boat, and he can save the day every time.

As the Amu Darya River enters the valley, the river widens to be flanked by steep cliffs, large and small coffins hanging from them, and many caves more than half a man high.

Guo Fatzi raised his head and said with a cigarette in his mouth: "Why do you hang so many coffins on it?" ”

Shi Lin: "This is a custom of Miao tombs, hanging ancestors on it, you can get closer to the gods in the sky!" ”

Guo Fatzi: "Huh? That's a little bit higher! ”

Shen Jinsan went to ask Shi Lin again: "I have seen this kind of hanging coffin-style tomb in the book, but what are these large and small holes for?" ”

Shi Lin: "Well, I don't know, maybe it's also a place for the ancestors!" ”

Xiao Maozi shouted while holding the helm: "Walk a little further, and you will almost reach Tabean Mountain, and I will put you down there!" ”

Wu Xin asked curiously, "What does it mean to answer beer?" ”

Xiao Maozi replied with a smile: "Answering beer is the meaning of girls, answering beer mountain has a pair of peaks, just like a girl's nursery, the canyon in the middle is to go to the Yin Valley, you must go to Jinfeng Mountain must go through the Yin Valley." ”

Guo Fatzi: "Go to the sound valley? Does it go out of tune when you sing inside? ”

Shi Lin: "In the Miao language, the Yin is the meaning of psychic, the legend is that the Miao ancestor one-eyed lives in the Yin Valley of the Beer Mountain, the ancestors of the Miao people will put the girl who has just come of age in the Yin Valley every year to worship the one-eyed god, if the girl comes back, it means that the first god does not want her, if she does not come back, it means that the first god married her as a lady! ”

Guo Fatzi: "Did you come back?" ”

Shi Lin: "No! ”

Guo Fatzi: "Ha! How many wives does this one-eyed ancestor have to marry, he can afford it! ”

"Why do you always talk nonsense, God will blame you, look, it's the Beer Mountain over there!" Xiao Maozi pointed to a mountain peak far away.

As he spoke, he could already see the towering Dabei Mountain, and Wu Zhengyi looked there and inadvertently frowned tightly.
