Jiang Ming arched his hand to her and said, "Chongzhen Palace, Soap Mountain, Jiangxi Province, Huaxia Kingdom, Ge Ming greets his seniors." The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then handed over the post. I arched my hand and said Chen Daheng.

She nodded with satisfaction and said, "I haven't cared about things on the rivers and lakes for a long time, it's really talented!" She said that their branch is called the Qinai Miao tribe, they moved to Myanmar from Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty, and they are one of the four heads, belonging to the You Jianwu branch.

The old lady asked us what we were doing in their village. Jiang Ming said that we are sheltering from the rain. She opened her toothless mouth and laughed and said, "Young man, you are not honest! I smell blood on you, can you explain that? ”

Jiang Ming glanced at me and the fat man, and when he saw that we were silent, he said that he killed a big snake at noon and roasted it to eat, so it smelled of blood.

The old lady said, "Is it a spotted python?" The one with horns on the head? We gasped and looked at her in surprise. Could it be that she raised this snake? Didn't we fall into the net this time?

Jiang Ming hurriedly explained, saying that the snake was chasing us and biting, so we were killed as soon as we missed, and it was really not intentional.

She waved her hand and said that she didn't raise snakes, so that we should not be nervous. We breathed a sigh of relief, this is a friendly army, we are not afraid, if it is an enemy army, it is indispensable to have another fight.

Jiang Ming asked who the snake belonged to. The old lady said that it was raised by a black head master, and that the snake always plagued the villagers' livestock nearby, and I didn't expect to be killed by you, which was a harm to the nearby villagers!

Jiang Ming told the story of the snake fight. The old lady said that the snake did not dare to enter their Miao village, so she never had a chance to clean it up. They Miao Zhai will not take the initiative to stir up things outside, but only defend themselves, so they have always known that there is such a snake, but there is no way to take it.

If you take the initiative to find the snake and kill it, you will cause trouble for Miao Village. Miao Zhai just wants to live a peaceful life and doesn't want to cause trouble, otherwise it will bring disaster to Miao Village.

It turns out that in order to coexist peacefully with the surroundings, they never take the initiative to cause trouble, and if someone provokes Miao Village, Miao Village will give it a try. This is also the reason why Miao Village has been able to live peacefully here for hundreds of years.

Everyone said it, and there was no prejudice. She inquired about life in China, and Jiang Ming told her a lot, which made her fall into deep thought. In the end, he said that he couldn't imagine that Huaxia Kingdom was developing so well now, and if he had the opportunity, he would like to go back and have a look.

She asked us again what we were doing in Myanmar and if we needed help. Her words made our eyes light up, we exchanged glances, and Jiang Ming said to her, we are here to save people.

The old lady was just about to speak, when she heard the fat man's stomach rumbling, and then interrupted the conversation. She said she was hungry, right? She asked Wentou to prepare food, and we talked while eating.

She slapped her palms three times, and after a while, the leader who had brought us in knocked on the door and entered. The old lady asked him to prepare a sumptuous dinner and entertain the guests, and the chief nodded and left.

She said that this is the head of the village, called Wen Xiong, and she is the grass ghost woman of the village. Hearing this made our hairs stand on end, it turns out that she really knows how to do Gu arts. She said don't be afraid, we are all friends, as long as you don't do anything harmful to the village, we will always be friends.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's good if it's a friend or an enemy, and you can still eat and drink. This is a place for Myanmar to settle down.

Sure enough, after a while, someone knocked on the door, and when the door opened, several young girls came in. The girl in front of her took four torches and planted them in the four walls, and the whole hall was lit up.

The second girl came in with a simple earthen stove, placed it in front of us, and started to make a fire. The third maiden placed a stoneware pot on top of it. Then the fourth girl brought a tea set and put it on the table.

After the girls withdrew, the bear-headed man led a group of men and carried a lot of prepared food. After setting up the low table, the food was all over the table. Wen Xiongtou stayed to accompany the guests, and the rest of the men went out.

When the fat man saw the food, he couldn't take his eyes off. The old lady said, since you are hungry, let's eat first. Originally, when entertaining guests, I drank a roasted pot of tea first, and when you were hungry, you would eat first and then drink tea.

The Miao family also drinks tea, and the tea set is different from that of the Han people, all of which are small bowls with open mouths. The tea pot used to make tea is a specially fired earthen pot, which is called drinking roast pot tea. It is to put the tea can on the fire to dry, wait for the tea can to be hot and then put the tea leaves, while shaking and roasting, until the house is full of tea fragrance, then pour a little boiling water called the hair nest, shake evenly and then pour the tea can full of boiling water, simmer and roast, boil out the tea juice, and then pour it into a small bowl.

The Miao people drink tea with a lot of rules, more than the Han people, but we are all young and can come without following the rules.

Wen Xiongtou broke off a chicken leg and gave it to the fat man, who hurriedly said thank you, took it and gnawed on it. Then the head man asked me and Jiang Ming to sit around the small table and eat.

I looked back and saw the old lady with only a large bowl in front of me, and a fist-sized piece of dead dough soaked in the water. Ask the head man why don't you eat it together? The head man glanced at the old lady, she nodded, and the head said.

The grass ghost women who raise Gu are all lonely, poor, and young all their lives, so they can't eat too well. Lonely, that is, there is no marriage, and there is a lifetime of loneliness. Poverty means that you can't get involved with money. To die early is to die early.

Therefore, there is basically no furniture in the grass ghost woman's house, and all she eats is a bowl of boiling water and a rancid dead dough. If you are rich and rich, you will die early if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he was shocked, and the chicken leg in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his face turned pale. He was also worried that Xiao Hua would learn Gu arts, if he really became a grass ghost woman, wouldn't he be able to get married? The chicken leg made him chew like wax.

I asked the headman, is this loneliness and poverty real? The head man sighed and said that this was true, and it was not true. It is mainly determined by the profession of grass ghost woman. To be a grass ghost woman in Miao Village, you have to stay in the village for the rest of your life, and the people in the village need a grass ghost woman for birth, old age, illness, and death.

Therefore, it is more difficult for the grass ghost woman to recruit a son-in-law to come to the door, and many people would rather be single than come to the door to be the son-in-law of the grass ghost woman, just afraid. Many grass ghost women have been cultivated since childhood, and it will be different if you become a grass ghost woman after getting married.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, his spirit was shocked, and his appetite soared, just like drinking a cup of old vinegar from Shanxi. It is estimated that when he returns to China this time, he will first handle Xiaohua, and then get a marriage certificate. After a few more children, Xiaohua will be released to learn Gu arts. Hehe!

The head man continued, the grass ghost woman has dealt with Gu poison all her life, and she can't marry, and she can't marry, so her personality will be very withdrawn. After the age of marriage, I basically won't look for it again, so superstition is lonely.

If you are poor, the grass ghost woman lives alone, and she doesn't need too many things at all. Food that is too greasy will be disgusted by Gu poison, and the treatment of diseases and saving people will be greatly discounted. Therefore, they all eat very lightly, their living conditions are simple, and their material desires are not strong, which is poverty.

The grass ghost woman has dealt with Gu poison all her life, she is full of poison, and she is easily attacked by Gu poison, so she has always been cautious. Moreover, the grass ghost woman also works part-time to resist foreign enemies, fighting Gu with all those who damage the village. If you're not careful, you'll die early. That's the end of it.

After the false rumors of later generations, they have become the current loneliness, poverty, and death.

I see, the head man doesn't talk about it, we have always felt very mysterious. Now I feel that the grass ghost woman is great. In order for the people of the village to live a healthy and happy life, great sacrifices and contributions have been made.

We all looked at the old lady with admiration. She was slowly eating the dead dough, and she didn't have any teeth, so she gnawed slowly with her gums. Looking at this old lady makes my nose a little sour.

A great man once said that it is not difficult for a person to do good deeds, but it is difficult to do good deeds all his life. I think it's the old lady in front of me.

After eating, the warm bear-headed man made us tea. We chatted over tea. From the chat, we learned more about the Nai Miao people.

The Miao people of Qinai were moved into Myanmar from Yunnan during the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago, with a total of four teams and 1,000 people, and their old man was one of the four teams, called You Jianwu, a Miao general.

The other three teams made their home in other places, and the four tribes were often in contact. When there is a new head or a new grass ghost woman to take over, they will move around and communicate with each other. When a tribe encounters a foreign invasion, everyone will send a team to fight the enemy together.

The generals brought more than 200 people of the Qinai Miao tribe to live in this place. Like the Miao people in China, they have lived a life of slash-and-burn farming and nomadic farming for generations. Now there are many surnames Wen and Li in the village, and there are few surnames You.

The surnames Wen and Li are the subordinates and family members of the former generals. The old lady is surnamed Li, and in the tube, Wen Xiongtou is the external leader of the village. The surname Wen and the surname Li take turns to be the grass ghost woman and the headman, and now they have been doing it for many generations.

The head man asked us who we had come here to save. Jiang Ming said that he was a soldier of Huaxia and was arrested by Xindoha, who was invited by drug dealers. Now we have to find these people to be saved and bring them back to our homes.

Hearing Sindoha's name, the head man was silent. The scene suddenly cooled down.
