Chapter 275: The gongs and drums have passed, and no one is left outside
Some of the young people in the valley know who their father is, while others never know. This is somewhat similar to the old customs of the Northern Miao people told by my grandmother before coming to "collect rent".
At the time, I thought that my grandmother was talking about those things purely for idle talk, but now it seems that there is also a purpose, so that I can understand the joyful festivals of these five villages.
Grandma said that the old Miao people have two "Brother Days" every year, once in spring and once in autumn, and one lasts for seven days.
As the name suggests, "Brother Day" is the day that the boys look forward to the most, these days, the girls of the Miao family will live alone in the Miao Building, and the boys will enter the room of the girl by climbing the window, and then have a good night.
Some men and women will be together for one night, and the second night will be together, while others will be tired of being together for seven consecutive nights.
After the "Brother Day" passes, the village will usher in a period of "pregnancy peak", and everyone doesn't mind who the child's father is, because for Miao Village, they are all children in the village, and it is normal to only know their mothers and not know their fathers.
β¦β¦
I realized that this village has a distinct Miao ethos, which may have something to do with the "rule" of the Jade Girl Village!
After chatting with Muzi for a few minutes, I noticed that I had been holding her hand tightly, so I quickly let go.
Originally, I had to go to the second village before dark, and spend the night there, but I wanted to stay and have a good chat with Muzi, so I asked the chief steward to stay in the first village with them that day.
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.
At night, the valley is very quiet, and the people in the village live a relatively primitive life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, which is also very pleasant. Since we were going to stay overnight, the old man organized a group of people to hold a "bonfire welcome party" - a bonfire show in the open space in the middle of the village.
Because of something on my mind, I just watched it symbolically for a while, these so-called shows are similar to the dance posture of the autumn moon in the Jade Girl Village before, and in a trance, people thought they had walked into the primitive tribe.
Yu Lina was a little afraid of the big steward, and during this time, she only dared to look at me from afar, but did not dare to come forward to accuse, it is estimated that she had been secretly warned before.
I was sitting and wandering that night, Yu Lina quietly sat beside me, her eyes were still glancing at the chief steward, and when she saw that she didn't pay attention, she said, "Xiao Zhen, you ...... You're so impressive, even if I tell someone about things here, who will believe it! β
There was still a bit of grievance and helplessness in his voice.
I smiled bitterly twice and whispered back, "I also feel that all this is incredible, like a dream!" I don't belong here, and I'll go back when it's done. β
A hint of surprise flashed on Yu Lina's face, but then it turned into anger, she secretly reached out and pinched my thigh, and scolded in a coquettish voice: "You little pervert, are you willing to be a beautiful girl here?" β
I smiled, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
When I was fine, I also pondered that although Xiaoqing and Xiaobi are the mothers of my children, they cannot be regarded as my wives, after all, this is a pregnancy with a "task", and it follows some ancient custom. In their minds, I will always be the master of the seedlings, and their fear of me is far greater than their love.
Yanli and Hao Xiaoyu are different, we are equal in identity, and only with equal identity can we have equal emotions.
Yu Lina left the sentence "You will come to me in the middle of the night" and tiptoed away.
I didn't have the heart to figure out what this meant, my mind was almost full of antique Li things, and I didn't have time to think about it.
Twenty years ago, Antique Li came here, and Yang Guoshan also came here, why did they hide this from me? And both claim to have only met five years ago.
I suspect that Antique Li must have discovered something when he came to this valley several times, and as an archaeologist, the greatest success is to make new archaeological discoveries, especially those that subvert history.
What exactly did the antique Lee find?
Could it be that this valley was the place where the emperor sacrificed to heaven and earth? Is there really an ancient artifact hidden here?
A series of questions lingered in my mind.
Thinking of the valley where the Jade Girl Village is located, the two valleys are very similar, not surprisingly, the real Dayu tomb is in that valley, and I can almost conclude that the Dayu tomb is related to the moving mountain demon.
Careful analysis, the Huaxia people at that time were entrenched in Ningxia, Shaanxi, Henan, and the era of Dayu's water control was later than the Yellow Emperor era, and the center of gravity at that time was in Shaanxi, and Ningxia was not far away.
For Dayu, the emperor is a former sage, a saint, in order to pursue the miracle of the emperor, Dayu is really likely to choose his burial place next to the altar of the Yellow Emperor.
So whose tomb is the ancient tomb under the Yellow River that we entered before? Is it really a drought?
"Little brother-"
Suddenly, a delicate voice pulled me back from my thoughts, and I looked up just in time to see an incomparably beautiful and shy face, which was Muzi.
"That's it...... When it's just the two of us, don't call me little brother, just call me Xiaozhen! β
I'm a little embarrassed to say. In my mind, Antique Li is half a relative and an elder, and since Muzi is his daughter, and a few years older than me, she is my sister.
How embarrassing it is for my sister to call me brother!
Muzi just bit her lower lip with her teeth, neither agreeing nor refusing. I knew it was impossible for him to call me that in the crowd.
It just so happened that I also wanted to have a good chat with Muzi and talk about his father's antique Lee.
The village elder had been squatting five or six meters away from me, and I hooked his hand at him.
"I'm a little tired, take me to rest! Muzi also followed me......"
The old man nodded respectfully and said, "The bedroom has been prepared for a long time, and it is the first time for the little brother of Master Miao to stay in our village, and everyone feels very honored!" β
I ignored him, but took Muzi's hand and followed him to a row of houses that were a cut above the others. Xiaoqing and Xiaobi also wanted to follow, but they were forbidden by me, although there was displeasure on their faces, they didn't dare to say anything.
Compared to the overall simplicity of the village, the bedroom prepared for me is considered luxurious, and the whole layout is somewhat similar to the Langfang room in the Jade Girl Village, which is also a huge bed with red sheets.
I saw a sly smile flashing on the old man's face, I guess this old man thought I was crooked, thinking that I was greedy for Muzi's beauty and wanted to satisfy my physical desires!
I don't bother to bother either.
When the old man left, he softly closed the door, and at the same time smiled and told Muzi to be careful to serve the little brother.
"Sister Muzi, your father and I are antique...... Uncle Li is a good friend, let's call each other sister and brother in private, right? β
At first, Muzi was still a little embarrassed and blushed.
I pulled her to the bed, pretended to be angry, and said, "If you don't obey again, I won't tell you about your father." β
"Don't-Xiao Zhen!"
When she heard this, she was frightened, and quickly raised her head, looked at me with pleading eyes, and timidly called out my name.
"That's right, your father is my uncle, and you are my sister."
I grinned and pulled her to the bed again.
After chatting for a few minutes, Muzi gradually let go, couldn't resist his curiosity about his father, and finally took the initiative to ask this and that.
The completely released wood is even more attractive, a pair of watery eyes seem to be able to speak, and when he smiles, his face shows deep dimples. Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, suddenly there was a sound of gongs and drums outside.
"Bang dang dang - bang dang dang"
Xiao Li's unspoken words came to an abrupt halt and suddenly stood up.
"Xiao Zhen, I have to go back quickly, otherwise...... Otherwise......"
Before she could finish her sentence, the man walked towards the door.
I was immersed in the warmth of my relatives, and subconsciously took Muzi's hand.
"It's not too late! It's okay - I'll just talk to the village chief! β
I thought that Muzi was in a hurry to leave, probably because the village had a rule that he would go home at what time in the evening.
After Muzi was pulled by me, he was a little anxious and explained, "That's not the case...... I can't explain it in one or two sentences! Isn't there anything you can talk about tomorrow? β
"It's too late...... Xiao Zhen ...... You...... I can't go out any more late. β
I originally wanted to let go, but as soon as I saw the anxious look on her face, it was extremely moving, and I couldn't help but "flirt" it, I thought to myself, anyway, I am the Miao master, and everyone here has to listen to me.
Pulling, pulling, a few minutes passed, although Muzi explained, but I couldn't understand her words at all, maybe I was just thinking about teasing this young lady at the time, and I didn't take it to heart!
Suddenly, there was a strange sound of "woo woo" outside, like the sound of the wind, and like something howling.
As soon as he heard this voice, Muzi suddenly stopped struggling and sat down on the edge of the bed all of a sudden.
"What's wrong? Little sister! β
This time, it made me a little helpless.
"It's too lateβ"
The expression on Muzi's face suddenly froze, and his expression became blank.
At this time, I also seemed to feel that things were not as simple as I thought.
"It's okay, I'll send you back in a while......"
Mu Zimu shook his head solemnly, and paused for more than ten seconds before slowly replying: "After the sound of gongs and drums, there is no one outside, and when the north wind is encountered, no one is left behind." β
When I hear it, it's like limerick! What does that mean? I asked again.
"There's a secret, I'm afraid you don't know, that the people in this valley must lie down on their beds when they arrive, otherwise they will be frozen and will not recover until the hour comes."
Well? Freeze? I didn't understand what she meant, and asked again.
Mu Zi muttered: "The reason why the people in this canyon can't leave the canyon is that in addition to being hit by the Gu on their bodies, there is another more important reason, that is, this strange disease on our body. β
Muzi explained that there is a black mountain in the canyon, and the stones on the mountain are all jet black, and every family will collect the stones from the mountain to make beds - that is to say, the beds in the five villages are made of black stone.
After a while, a strange north wind blows in the valley, and when it hits the face, the person freezes and becomes like a wood, and only when he lies on a bed made of stones collected from that mountain does he not become a "wooden man".
