Chapter Eighty-Five: Wrapped Stone Village
Not much to say, the place we are going to today is still the land where Liu Zhi and I first came to Kunming.
But what we are going to today is not the land contracted by Shengwei, but the village of Baoshi.
Last time, due to time constraints, Liu Zhi and I didn't go to Baoshi Village.
However, this time, I changed my mind temporarily, that time in the open space, Liu Zhi gave me a very strange feeling, I always felt that Liu Zhi knew something, but faintly seemed to Liu Zhi was unwilling to reveal.
We drove the car to the open space again, and after getting out of the car, I said, "Brother Liu, last time I saw that you seemed to have a soft spot for a piece of land, did you find anything?" ”
Liu Zhi did not shy away from it, and said to me: "Last time, I thought this land was boring, but last time I was not sure, mainly because I was afraid that my decision would affect your thinking. ”
We walked one foot deep and one foot shallow towards Baoshi Village, because there were traces of digging soil before the development of this land, so we did not do much cleaning.
"And now?" I asked.
Liu Zhi still shook his head and said, "Let's go to Baoshi Village first, if my guess is correct, there should be something under this land." ”
"Something?" Lin Qiaoling asked a little strangely.
Liu Zhi didn't speak, and walked straight forward.
I stood there and paused, Lin Qiaoling came up to me and said, "What do you say he knows?" ”
I also shook my head, and said in my heart that if I had knew, I would have arrested someone a long time ago, would I have wasted such time?
"Let's go, I'm definitely going to Wrapped Stone Village, this village gives me a very mysterious feeling."
As he spoke, he followed.
Lin Qiaoling said: "Generally in Yunbei, there are many ethnic minorities, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is very mysterious. ”
I nodded in acquiescence, and a few people walked for more than ten minutes, and finally came to the end of the clearing.
I looked ahead, and below the clearing was the Stone Village, which was like a low basin, surrounded by mountains, and the whole Village was tightly enclosed.
"No wonder it's called Wrapped Stone Village, the feeling is such a Wrapped Stone Village." Liu Zhi said a little jokingly.
The mountain road is not very easy to walk, looking close, and when we reached Baoshi Village, it took almost an hour, and there were many detours during the process.
The village is different from the mountain and the village, and when you look at it up close, you feel as if you have entered a paradise.
The village is far away from the development area on the clearing, and a very noisy mechanical sound can be heard on it, but there is no sound at all in the village.
There are not many people in Baoshi Village, and I counted them, not counting the dilapidated houses, there are only 20 to 40 families in total.
"Hee-hee." At this moment, a child's laughter came from behind the big tree behind us.
This sudden laughter also scared a few of us into a smart light, and it was hard to be haunted in broad daylight.
When I looked back, I saw a boy hiding behind the big tree behind me, with half of his head and innocent eyes, and he looked like he was seven or eight years old.
"It's not right for children to hide behind trees and be scary." I whispered softly to the child behind the tree.
At this time, the child came out from behind the tree, looked at us and said, "Grandma said that the guests who come from afar only need to laugh to welcome the guests, and the guests who come from afar, don't you accept my welcome?" ”
As soon as the child's voice fell, I was speechless, I didn't know what to do, and I had the urge to slap myself twice.
Lin Qiaoling walked up to the child, squatted down, touched the child's head and said, "My aunt said that if the eldest child likes the child, you can touch his head, which means that we will be good friends in the future." ”
When the child heard this, he was immediately happy, danced with his hands, and began to circle around Lin Qiaoling, and said happily: "Jisang also has a good friend, draw a circle, Jisang will share his blessings with Jisang's good friend." ”
"Which ethnic minority is this, and why is the etiquette so strange?" I whispered to Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi didn't see it, and said blankly: "I have a feeling that I'm not a local anymore, and I haven't heard of this kind of nationality." ”
I glanced at Liu Zhi and turned my head to continue watching Lin Qiaoling and Jisang play.
Not to mention, this Jisang is a little darker, but Lin Qiaoling stays with this Jisang, but it feels a little like returning to childhood.
Looking at Lin Qiaoling's long-lost smile, I was a little crazy for a while.
What a great release force can make Lin Qiaoling so happy, since I met her, I have never seen Lin Qiaoling so happy.
"Yun Zhe, someone is coming." Liu Zhi said to me.
I focused all my attention on Lin Qiaoling and Jisang, and I didn't hear Liu Zhi speak to me.
"Ah, what did you say?"
"I said someone was coming." Liu Zhi repeated.
I looked in the direction that Liu Zhi said, and after looking so closely, the person who came seemed to be a little familiar, and when I got closer, I said suspiciously: "Isn't this the old farmer we met that day?" ”
"It should be." Liu Zhi said.
I hurriedly strode over to the old farmer, "Grandpa, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"Who are you?" The old farmer looked at us and said with some suspicion.
I reminded the old farmer, and the old farmer remembered it and suddenly said, "I'm sorry, this person is old, and his memory is poor, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have forgotten the events of that day." ”
The old peasant's outfit had not changed, and he still carried the water hyacinth with the strange pattern I had seen that day.
At this time, Lin Qiaoling pulled Jisang over, and the two of them were very happy, as if they had met an old friend who had not seen each other for many years.
I introduced Lin Qiaoling, and Lin Qiaoling said hello to the old farmer.
The old farmer also nodded to Lin Qiaoling very politely.
At this time, Jisan said politely to the old farmer: "Hello Grandpa Ishida, is Grandpa Ishida going to work in the field?" ”
It turned out that this old farmer's name was Ishida, but I was rude.
The old man Ishida beckoned to Jisan to come to him, and Jisan ran to Ishida's side very obediently and hugged the old man's thigh.
The old man Ishida hugged Jisan and said kindly, "Jisang, why don't you stay with your mother and run around." ”
"Mom also went to work, Jisan is not fun alone." Gisan replied.
The old man Ishida gently stroked Jisang's head with his hand and said, "There are guests from the village today, do you want to inform the people in the village to come out to greet you?" ”
After listening to the old man's words, Jisan patted his little head with his hand, and said in a tone like an adult: "It's Jisan's fault, Jisan will go to his mother to inform the people in the village to welcome guests from afar." ”
"Okay." Old man Ishida put Jisan down and let Jisan go.
I have heard about the hospitality of ethnic minorities since I was very young, and I have always believed it, but when I saw it today, it was really an eye-opener, and I couldn't help but have more respect for the folk customs here.
When Jisang ran away, Lin Qiaoling asked the old man Ishida: "Grandpa Ishida, may I ask which noble minority is here?" ”
Old man Ishida smiled and said, "It's a small branch of the Zhuang clan, I think there should be no other branch of ours besides us now." ”
Although the meaning of Old Man Ishida's words was not too obvious, I clearly felt the sadness and helplessness in his heart.
If a race is separated from the group, then it will only face extinction, and this extinction is only a matter of time before it is too late.
