We escaped the catastrophe and drove up the bottom road safely and soundly to the highway.

Along the way, Yu Nian and Lao Meng and I switched back and forth, and Tusuo slept from beginning to end without feeling ashamed.

Two days later, we hurried and finally arrived in Qianxi, Guizhou.

But facing the heavy mountain in front of me, I realized that we had just finished just a drive, and if we wanted to really reach Miao Village, we had to walk for a day.

The humid monsoon climate of the subtropics is indeed different from that of the north.

Just after the morning, there was still a thin layer of dew on the ground. The sky is blue and the water is clear, and the scenery is beautiful.

The Qianxi Miao Village mentioned by Yu Nian is located on the remaining veins at the northern foot of Leigong Mountain, and is formed by more than ten small villages. The location here is a typical river valley, the crystal clear Baishui River passes through the mountain, coiled at the foot of the mountain, the mountain spring is clear, and the four words of Zhong Xiu Lingyu are revealed everywhere.

Lao Meng sighed with satisfaction, "Xiao Ding, you can be regarded as bringing me to a good place." ”

Yu Nian looked at the depths of the mountain, "Let's go, this little road is enough for you to walk for a day." ”

This overlapping mountain peak has carved out a large terraced rice field. Occasionally, girls dressed in ethnic costumes work in the fields, and there are also buffaloes passing through the mountains.

At first, Lao Meng and I were all excited, but after walking for about two or three hours, our legs were already as if they were not our own.

The road into the mountain seems to be rarely walked, and it is very steep.

"No, I can't walk, let's rest for a while."

I lay on the ground, as tired as a dead dog. Yu Nian looked at it and seemed to think that it was still early, so he stopped and drew some water from the nearby stream.

After she finished drinking, I took a sip and asked before she got angry, "You people in the village, if you want to go out, you have to go through this road?" ”

She didn't think so, "yes, otherwise there can be a cable car to pick you up?" ”

"If it were me, I'd definitely never go down the mountain for the rest of my life."

She took the kettle and put it back in her backpack, "Yes, there are many women in the village, and they have never walked out of the mountains in their lives." From life to death, he was in his own stilted building. ”

"All the people in Qianxi Miao Village are the descendants of the Yu family?"

"The Yu family was the earliest owner of Qianxi Miao Village, and later merged more than a dozen large and small Miao villages around it to have the current scale. Most of the people inside are Miao people, because they are favored by the Yu family, so the identity of the Yu family is kept secret. The Yu family also lived an incognito life, no different from ordinary Miao people. ”

"Then what is the purpose of our visit this time?"

"The affairs of your Xiao family have always been taboo here. But if you want to find out why your grandfather went to Shizhai Mountain, and why your father teamed up with a ghost warlock to harm me, maybe someone here can answer. The most important thing is that three days later, it is the most important festival of Qianxi Miao Village - Guzang Festival. ”

Yu Nian said that the "Guzang Festival", also known as "eating Guzang", is the most solemn ancestor worship ceremony in all the festivals of Qianxi Miao Village.

The festival is organized by the Miao people with the surname of the Dirty Chief, and is generally carried out between the villages that are closely related to the history of the Dirty Festival. Once a year, the time is mostly in the early spring and autumn after the farming season, eat the village to kill pigs and slaughter cattle to invite relatives and friends to gather, during which the bullfighting and reed sheng activities are held.

It is usually held once every 13 years, and is held alternately between the small villages, and the village that takes its turn serves as the host and serves as the main priest. The main content is to kill cattle and worship ancestors, and pray for good weather in the next thirteen years.

Lao Meng heard the spirit, "Is that just like our New Year, setting off firecrackers, killing New Year's pigs, and making dumplings?" ”

I patted Lao Meng's head, "One is a celebration, the other is a sacrifice, how can it be the same." ”

Yu Nian smiled slightly: "Anyway, it's a lively day." As the umbrella bearer of the Yu family, I must be present to sacrifice and cut the first knife. ”

I said, "It seems that a few of us have a host this time, so we should have meat to eat." ”

After refreshing ourselves, we set off again.

Just when we were about to enter the mountain, a few children who were herding cattle ran out and saw us, and their faces were happy and rushed towards Yu Nian, "Sister is back, Sister is back!" ”

After speaking, he didn't bother to talk to Yu Nian, and ran to the village in slippers, even throwing aside the cattle on the road.

Yu Nian's expression was rare and relaxed, with a smile.

Hearing the child's shout, everyone came out to watch, and when they saw Yu Nian coming back, they all came forward to ask for warmth.

Some said that Yu Nian had lost weight again, and some asked her why she hadn't come back for so many days.

Yu Nian smiled and answered them one by one.

Several of us have never seen such afterthoughts, and I have always thought that women of this character have grown up in that extremely dark and oppressive environment, and it seems that the truth is completely different from what I suspected.

At this time, not far away, an old lady with white hair was supported and walked over.

Everyone bowed their heads when they saw her, their expressions respectful.

Although this old lady has gray hair and a wrinkled face, her skin is snow-white, and her nose and eyes are outstanding.

When Yu Nian saw the old man, Zhengse called Azu, and then knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

Most of the time the old lady's aura was too strong, and Lao Meng and I didn't know why, but we also knelt down with weak knees.

Everyone looked at us quietly, and it didn't seem like a thing to stand up just like that.

Lao Meng asked me in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

I don't know what to do, "Knock one." ”

After speaking, Lao Meng and I also bowed together, and Yu Nian stood up and looked at me puzzled, "What are you two doing?" ”

Lao Meng and I stood up with each other, and explained with some embarrassment, "What, to show respect." ”

When Azu saw me, his eyes suddenly sank, looked up and down, and finally asked Yu Nian in a cold voice, "Who are these people?" ”

Yu Nian explained, "It's a few friends I know, I'll talk about it later." ”

Azu's eyes were full of hostility when he looked at me, which made me very uncomfortable.

After a brief greeting, the crowd dispersed, and a few of us followed Azu back.

Yu Nian reminded me in a low voice, "If someone asks, you can make up a name casually, don't say that your surname is Xiao." ”

"Why?"

"There is no reason, the surname Xiao is guilty here."

"Yu Nian, come here."

Azu called Yu Nian away, leaving me alone for unknown reasons.

The scenery in this village is better than any tourist attraction I have been to before. The sky is blue and the water is clear, and the building is unique.

Entering from the entrance of the village, there are stilted buildings of different forms on both sides, and corner tower buildings.

Azu led us across the wind and rain bridge and walked towards a high-gate compound.

Lao Meng looked back at it, and praised it in his mouth, "Fairyland on earth, I feel that the Peach Blossom Land is nothing more than that." ”

And I can't describe my current mood, I just feel that the aftermath seems to be a little farther away from me.

I finally felt that I knew her a little, but when I came to the environment where she grew up and saw these people who grew up with her, I suddenly felt that she and I were just friends who had known each other for a few months.

The building of Qianxi Miao Village is mainly a wooden stilted building, which is a bucket-type hilltop structure. There are two types of flat stilted buildings and sloped stilted buildings, which are generally three-storey four-room or five-room four-room structures.

But Yu Nian's home is obviously different from other portals.

The walls are white and the tiles are black, and the threshold alone is as high as my knees. There is a pavilion embedded in the gate, which is the first time I've seen it.

Azu led us forward, and the entourage knocked on the door twice, and someone inside opened the door from both sides and put a gentle ramp on the threshold.

Azu walked up the slow slope, we didn't understand the rules, so we could only follow Yu Nian, and step first with his left foot and then his right foot from the threshold.

The door slammed shut as soon as we entered, and it was as if another world was cut off from it.

The floor is paved with long strips of square bricks, and on both sides are transepts hung with cyan lanterns.

There were paper-cut paintings on the windows, but they were different from the flowers and birds I had seen before, they were all runes that I didn't recognize.

Although the tone is very serious, it does not feel oppressive, which may have something to do with this high sunny day.

Directly opposite is a three-story tower, and the main hall on the first floor has no door, from which you can see the furnishings of the house.

There were two futons on the ground, and there were dozens or hundreds of rows of seats on the altar in front of them, and the smoke was filled.

This is facing the gate, and it turned out to be the Yu family ancestral hall.

Yu Nian asked us to wait where we were, and she and Azu went in to worship.

Lao Meng and I whispered, "Xiao Ding, I originally thought that you, a handsome and dashing rich second generation, were worthy of any girl, but now it seems that you are enough to choke on this thought." ”

I elbowed him in the chest, "Crow's mouth, how can I choke enough?" ”

Lao Meng grinned in pain, "Look at this high-gate compound, are you climbing high?" ”

"I'm willing, I'm charismatic."

We are talking here, the little girl who was holding Azu before pursed her lips and smiled, and I told Lao Meng to shut up, "Look, people laugh at it." ”

After a while, Yu Nian came out of the ancestral hall, "Let's go, let's rest here for the next few days, and I'll talk about other things when I'm busy with the Tibetan Festival." ”

Lao Meng was naturally willing, and followed Yu Nian in a hurry. Not to mention Tuso, as long as there is a place to eat and a place to sleep, let him go anywhere.

But as soon as I thought of Azu's eyes, I felt uneasy, this trip to Miao Village, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth.

"Where's your Azu?" I asked.

"She's in the ancestral hall, you should try to travel as much as possible to avoid her these days, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble."

"She hates me so much?"

Yu Nian snorted coldly, "If she knew that you were Xiao Baoshan's grandson, I wouldn't dare to guarantee that you would leave here alive." ”

I was shocked, is it so serious? What did my grandfather do back then to make this old lady angry like this?

Yu Nian walked and walked, and suddenly asked the people who accompanied him, "Is the bull that will be used in three days ready?"

The man replied, "Ready, it's in the backyard." ”
