Chapter 501: Collecting Birds (22)

At the moment, I couldn't help but speed up a few steps, I just wanted to see Su Mengke as soon as possible.

That Joyce was originally walking lazily, but when she saw that my pace was faster, she frowned and said, "There are still Gu worms in front, so if you are not afraid of death, go faster." ”

Hearing this, I ignored her, mainly because I was really speechless about this woman, and I didn't know what attitude to use to face her. Scolding, her temperament, forget it, it's strange if I don't scold and take off a layer of skin.

Seeing that I ignored her, and didn't know which tendon was wrong, Joyce grabbed my arm and said, "Even if you rush over now, it's nothing to make up, the Shi family and the Su family are not jealous." ”

"I, Chen Jiu, am not jealous." I replied to her, turned my head and smiled at Granny Qiao, and said, "I'm a little anxious, can we be fast..."

She nodded, glanced at Joyce again, and without saying a word, motioned for me to come behind her.

When I came behind her, I saw that she took out a white package, the same as the one I had seen before, and grabbed a handful of white powder from it, a bit like lime, but the smell was strange, faintly a kind of herbicide, which was particularly unpleasant.

I wanted to ask her what this white powder was, but when I saw that Granny Qiao ignored me, I gave up this idea and honestly followed her, about seven or eight steps, and Granny Qiao sprinkled some white powder on both sides of the road, and recited some Miao language in my mouth that I didn't understand, presumably a spell.

For the rest of the way, Granny Qiao walked in the front, Joyce followed her, and Lang Gao and I walked in the back, because it was night, I didn't know the surroundings very well.

I can guess, however, that the road must be lined with those strange trees, for there is always a peculiar sound of insects on both sides, exactly like the previous ones.

We walked for about 20 minutes, a torii about three meters high, seven meters wide appeared in front of us, the left and right sides of the torii hung a pair of lanterns, a big happy word pasted on the lantern.

The middle of the archway is inlaid with a relatively old stone, the stone is about one meter long, about sixty centimeters wide, the stone is engraved with the word dragon city with a small seal, the red handwriting is like a living thing like a living thing on the stone, it is also thick and fine, there is no obedience, it is also in the middle and the side, it is not dry and moist, if the horse takes off the reins and comes to the dust and leaves, it is like a dragon flying in the sky and moves around, from nothing, and returns to the void.

"Good word." Looking at the word Dragon City, I couldn't help but praise it.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know who wrote this word?" Granny Qiao walked up to me and asked with a smile.

I shook my head and said uncertainly, "Look at the handwriting, it should be calligraphy, right?" ”

She nodded, her tone was a little proud, "The sage of the book Wang Xizhi traveled to Miao Village that year, wrote down these two words and gave them to our Miao ancestors, and the ancestors passed it down from generation to generation, until the Republic of China, when the eight Miao people built a village, they took this stone and inlaid it on the archway." ”

After saying this, Granny Qiao bent down towards the archway and said a word in Miao language, which should be a word of respect.

Seeing this, I can be sure why the people in Phoenix City only know Dragon City, not the Ten Thousand Towers, mainly because the origin of this stone is too big, dare to ask how many people in this world don't know the scholar Wang Xizhi?

Subsequently, our group entered the Dragon City, I thought that the archway appeared, the residence should not be far away, where do you know, we were stunned to walk for seven or eight minutes, only to see some bright light, should have arrived.

Seeing this, I have some doubts in my heart, we have come this way, it is estimated that there are two miles of road, I was shouting with Lang Gao before, logically speaking, the sound should not be transmitted here.

At that moment, I brought it up again and asked Granny Qiao how she found us. She didn't speak, but Joyce pointed to the location of her heart and spit out two words softly, "****." ”

Hearing her say this, I immediately thought of the funeral of the old hero of Quyang, because Su Mengke's matter was more urgent, I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and I didn't ask, so I followed Granny Qiao into Dragon City.

Just enter the dragon city, the ears will come melodious and pleasant reed sheng performance and the rough low horn sound, follow the prestige, there is a square not far away, there is a big lamp hanging on the square, the whole dragon city shines as if it is daytime, dozens of Miao men and women wearing national costumes are singing and dancing with the music.

Striding forward, the square is paved with black square bricks, carved with all kinds of birds, beasts, insects and fish on the square bricks, it looks a little quaint, a cement pillar stands in the center of the square, the pillar is carved with black totems, at first glance it looks like a phoenix, and then looks a bit like our swallow in Hengyang.

Behind the square is a large group of mountains, between the mountains and the square is a large number of houses, the houses here are different from our side, but in the middle of the mountain to build a unique stilted building, hundreds of stilted buildings with the ups and downs of the terrain change, layer upon layer, row upon row, magnificent.

"What a beautiful copycat!" Lang Gao shouted excitedly.

"yes!" I replied with emotion.

"Little Jiu!" Granny Qiao on the side called me out and said, "Have you ever thought about living in such a beautiful cottage for the rest of your life?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I could roughly understand what she meant, and I said, "Roses are beautiful, but they are not as real as rice." ”

She was stunned, smiled wryly, and without speaking, led us towards the square.

As soon as he arrived at the square, Na Lang Gao seemed to be very interested in the dance of the Miao people, so he asked Granny Qiao if she could stay and watch. Granny Qiao said that the residents of Longcheng were very disgusted with outsiders, not to mention that those Miao people who danced were specially celebrating Su Mengke's marriage and were not suitable for stopping and watching.

In desperation, Na Lang Gao muttered a few words, but did not speak.

While they were talking, I glanced towards the left side of Dragon City, counted to the second one on the left, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, the stilted building was built very magnificently, mixed with some modern architectural art in it, so that the whole stilted building looked, like a lion entrenched on the mountainside.

"The one you see is Su Mengke's house, if you are in a hurry, you can go over now. However, this girl advises you, it is best to go over tomorrow, our Miao people are the most taboo about the marriage being interrupted, and if you are not careful, you will lie down and come out if you go in vertically. Joyce walked up to me and pointed to the stilted building.

"According to your customs, where is the marriage going at this time?" I asked, looking at Joyce.

She took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, and said, "I should be having dinner, and I'm about to tell my parents." ”

"Jiao Confession? What do you mean? I asked, glancing at her quizzically.

"It's your Han people's worship of heaven and earth and worship of ancestors." She explained.
