Since 08 years, thousands of Miao Village has been changed to a five-A tourist attraction, and the local original residents have also increased their income because of the increase in tourists.

Cars are not allowed to enter the scenic spot, you must buy a ticket, or walk into the village, or take the district scenic light car.

Since our equipment this time was provided by the wealthy businessman Deng Gang, the ghost lion opened his mouth, and it was basically equipped according to the standards of special forces, and such equipment was too eye-catching.

In order not to cause trouble, we decided to put the equipment in the car for the time being, and wait for Professor Ouyang to come, and then consider the long term.

It cost us 400 oceans to buy tickets, and the fat man came out of the ticket hall and complained, "Yes!" Didn't start anything, it cost four hundred oceans first, and you have to spend money on everything in a tourist attraction like this, look at it, there are more places to spend money later. Prosperous! I wondered, you said that this place has been changed to a tourist attraction, and the traces left by the ancestors of the Miao people are long gone, what clues can we find, are we in the wrong place? I think we're just here for a tour. ”

I said, "Okay!" Don't complain, it's all here, let's go and see first. ”

In fact, I'm not sure, and I have all kinds of doubts in my heart, as the fat man said, can you still find the clues we want in this kind of place?

While the fat man and I were muttering, a man in his early sixties approached us, skinny as thin as a bone, with dark skin, a little white on his eyebrows and hair, and a handful of his signature goatee on his chin fluttering in the wind.

His slightly squinted eyelids hide the thief's eyes that beat in the crowd from time to time, peeping out, wearing blue homespun clothes and pants, wrapped in green headscarves, authentic Miao clothes, although he is old, but seeing him walk steadily, he is very different from ordinary old people.

"Huh! Two of you! You need a guide! As soon as the old man arrived, he took a picture in Mandarin, which was quite fluent.

"Hey! You old man, you talk really interestingly, people are asking, "Do you need a tour guide?" "It's better for you to just say that we need a guide." The fat man's curiosity was aroused.

The old man replied confidently, "Because you just need it!" ”

I noticed the old man with a white goatee in front of me early in the morning, and as soon as our F150 car entered the parking lot, I saw him smoking a cigarette and kept watching us.

You want me to see! As soon as we came in here, he had already been "hunted", so he was tricked and used this language tactic to trick our curiosity, so that our prey could be "hooked".

The fat man made small talk to him, and I interrupted them and said, "Old man! We don't need a tour guide, we're here to get a tour guide certificate. As he spoke, he pulled the fat man hard, "Go!" Wang, they are still waiting at the door. ”

"Alas! Alas! Young people don't go, the price is negotiable! Youngster! The old man with the white goatee said as he chased, but we didn't hear it.

The old man raised his voice again, "Young man, if you miss this village, there is no store for me, think about it." And he stopped and did not pursue.

The ghost who was waiting for us at the entrance saw us coming, and asked the fat man, "Who was that man just now?" You've had a good conversation! ”

I grabbed ahead of the fat man, "A tour guide who cheats money, the fat man almost fools people." ”

When the fat man heard what I said, he was not happy, and explained, "Ah Wang, you fart, what kind of person am I, I lied to people, just now I was about to use my three-inch tongue to expose his lies, blame you, and destroy my good deeds." As he spoke, he got into the sightseeing bus with me.

After sitting down, I said, "Just you?" A glib tongue!? You're not afraid that the wind here will flash your three-inch fat tongue. ”

"Whew! Is my tongue of iron lifted by the wind? "The fat man fought with me all the way, but I didn't bother to pay attention to him, but looked around and looked at the environment.

The first part of the road is all poor mountains and bad waters, barren land, except for some barren mountains and a slowly flowing river, there is no stockade.

However, every three or five days you can see residents dressed as Miao people walking leisurely on the other side of the river with bamboo baskets on their backs, walking and stopping, not knowing what they are doing, it seems that they are working, and from time to time they will bend down to pick things up into the baskets.

What intrigued me the most was that these people were all masked with black cloths, and although they couldn't see clearly from the distance, they all looked like old men from their figures.

The sightseeing bus continues to drive slowly into the valley, and gradually you can see the stilted buildings built on the hill.

They are attached to the mountainside and the bottom of the mountain, scattered and superimposed, seemingly chaotic, but without losing the abstract beauty, there is a "foreign country" style.

After entering the village, we suddenly learned that the village was in a valley with deep mountains and old forests, and the sightseeing car went all the way to the highest point in the village.

Along the way, the driver introduced that this is a viewing platform that can watch the whole village, after the public got off the bus, I walked to the observation platform, roughly calculated at the beginning, here is connected by more than ten natural villages built by the mountains.

Take a look at the terrain again, the location of the village is a typical river valley, the crystal clear Baishui River passes through the village, it is said that for thousands of years, the Xijiang Miao compatriots plough here at sunrise and rest, and open up a large area of terraced fields in the upper reaches of the Miao village, forming a farming culture and pastoral scenery, and the terraced fields are on the slope not far away.

And the most conspicuous thing in the whole village is that the two hillsides are lined up one after another, stacked on top of each other, covered with stilted buildings with Miao characteristics, and the stilted buildings form two opposing cones.

The name of the stilted building is heard from the driver of the sightseeing car, according to the driver, this kind of stilted building hanging high on the ground is not only ventilated and dry, but also can prevent poisonous snakes and beasts, and sundries can also be placed under the floor slab, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Miao people for thousands of years.

I saw that the feng shui pattern here was a bit exquisite, so I couldn't help but take out the needleless compass to look at it.

Speaking of the two most characteristic stilted buildings, they are built by the mountain and the river, all the houses are in the shape of a tiger, and "the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird, the back Xuanwu" is the best house.

Although these houses are intricate at first glance, layered on top of each other, and have no layout, anyone who knows Feng Shui knows that there is a lot of attention to them, and they pay attention to the orientation, either sitting west to east, or sitting east to west.

At present, I can only be sure that the layout of these stilted buildings is based on the surrounding mountain feng shui, but I can't see any clues, perhaps because of the cultural differences between the ethnic minorities and our Han Chinese.

Just as I was thinking hard and trying to see through the mystery, the fat man ran over, pulled and dragged him, and kept sarcastically teasing me in his mouth, "Wang, you are very boring, Ouyang Crazy, the old man hasn't come yet, can we put down the work first and go!" Let's take a picture with us. ”

I put away the needleless compass, reluctantly retracted my gaze from the two piles of stilted buildings built by the mountains and rivers, moved to the fat man, and said "wow" and said, "You...... How do you dress like this? "Now the fat man has put on the clothes of a Miao guy.

"Nonsense! Of course, it's a souvenir! Hurry up, the ghost and the black boy are waiting for you. The fat man said, pointing to the side, "You can borrow a set of clothes over there, hurry up." ”

I looked over to the location he pointed, and it turned out that there were Miao costumes everywhere to take pictures, and the ghost and the black boy had already dressed their favorite styles and were choosing the best photo spot with the fat man.

I occasionally have a bit of a choice dilemma, especially when it comes to things that seem to me to be dispensable, and I don't really like to take pictures of myself.

After ordering the soldiers, I walked to one of them, looked at the colorful and diverse clothes, and consulted how the clothes were rented, and the boss said, "You can look at it casually, as long as you take pictures here, the clothes are free." ”

It sounded a little familiar, and I couldn't help but look up and meet the boss.

"Dachangtong!?" I was so surprised that I blurted out, I never thought that this boss was actually Dachangtong.

"Master! You've got it. Listening to Dachangtong's tone, it seems that he has been waiting here for a long time, and under my questioning, I learned that Dachangtong just walked on our front foot, and he followed on the back foot, because we turned to the double * breast * peak on the way, he naturally arrived before us.

Last time I was in Lijiang Restaurant, I found that this kid had strange eyes, saying that he was just going to the fat man's place to live in peace just to escape from loan sharks, but in fact, he had been thinking about how to make a windfall by relying on the underworld.

I wondered how this kid could set up a stall here to take pictures of people, and he was quite well equipped, and it was only after I asked him that I realized that Dachangtong had arranged all four of us in the room.

But because I don't have much money on my body, and I don't see us coming, I am afraid that my funds are not enough, so I discussed with the hotel owner a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, to take care of the photo stall for the boss, and set the daily number of guest orders, and agreed that if it is not reached, the hotel money will be paid in full, if it is reached, then there is no commission, as long as the hotel room is reserved for him.

After learning this, I didn't say that he wasn't, but I thought that his "self-familiar" business talent might be able to help.

After listening to him tell the ins and outs, I said, "You kid is really good!" Looks like it works, well! Be magnanimous for the teacher, and make up for your mistakes

If you have the time, you will find someone who knows the geography of this area and the past and present. ”

Then the five of us took a group photo and settled our luggage.

When settling in the luggage, the fat man, the black boy and Dachang Tong muttered that they wanted to feel the national style, and I had no intention of playing with them, and I wanted to step on the terrain here.

When the three of them were whispering and chatting, I said, "Arrange a work assignment......"

As soon as my words came out, the fat man immediately interrupted and said, "What...... What the!? Job? I said that you are really boring, it is rare for us to come to this kind of most ethnic and antique place, not to feel the enthusiasm of ethnic minorities to be friendly and really trying, but only to know work all day long, so I don't understand the customs, I personally oppose it on behalf of the organization. ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at the black boy and Dachangtong on the side, sent signals, and tried to pull people's hearts.

I also pressed over with a look, Black Box and Dachangtong knew that I didn't want them to come, if something went wrong again, I might let them stop acting at any time, they knew that I had always been rampant and domineering under special circumstances, and the habit of dictatorship, so they didn't dare to make any trouble.

I gloated and said to the fat man, "The organization is fair and open, take a look!" People want it, and the facts show that no one wants to play. ”

The five of us went our separate ways, and because we didn't know which ones were originally left over from the original and which ones were added later commercially, we asked Dachang Tong and Heizai to investigate.

As for the fat man, I and the ghost group, as for the three of us, we just wandered around, one to see the terrain, and the other to understand the situation of the whole village.

The fat man didn't understand why I kept walking and stopping, so he asked me what I was doing. It's better to give a specific goal, so that he can spread his skills, otherwise it will be uncomfortable for him to wander around like this.

I said, "You just observe casually, there will always be gains, the detective must go back and forth to the scene to solve the case, so that he will collect details that ordinary people are easy to ignore, fat man, you remember that the answer and the truth are always on the scene, you have to develop this habit and ability to investigate, don't just do it all day long." ”

"Lao Wu has a point." The ghost walking on the side also agreed very much, "Chubby! Let me tell you this, Lao Wu has the ability to observe the terrain, and the feng shui technique of looking at the sand and dragon can see the feng shui level here, but we will not just observe everything here.

For example, people, buildings, etc., if you look at them carefully, you can always see something. For example, do you see the gang in front of you? As he spoke, he motioned for the fat man to look in the direction he said.

"See, those five men who came to travel with big bags and small bags in full armor, what's wrong?" Fat people should.

"At first glance, the five of them look like they're here for a tour, but if you look closely, you'll see that it's not as simple as it seems." ”

"Oh!? Is it? "The fat man will be skeptical.

"Look at the rest of the people around here, all of them are walking and stopping, either taking pictures, or a group of people are led by a guide, and all of them like to go into the small shops that sell ethnic items.

But if you look at the five of them, they're all looking at the terrain here, and they're only talking to people who look like local elders, and what's going on, it's that they're not interested in the features of this place at all, but they're interested in the past and the topography of this place.

Then you look at the backpacks of the five of them, all of them are professional outdoor climbing bags, and some things are all tightly wrapped in cloth, indicating that they don't want people to know what the equipment is, which can show that they are not here to travel. ”

The fat man seemed to be awakened by a word and said, "Yes! It's not a loss that he was born in special forces, and his reconnaissance ability is very good! So what are they here for? Could it be that they also came to find Nuwa Stone, or rob the tomb? ”

"I don't think so," I said, preempting the ghost and explaining, "Usually ordinary tomb robbers only want to make money, so they only target the tombs of ancient princes and generals, and they generally only operate in the Yellow River Valley, because China's historical evolution is basically in that area, so it is basically impossible for people to come here to rob tombs." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my eyes were drawn to three Miao men with black cloth covering their faces, who were the same eccentrics who had caught my attention on the other side of the river in the first sighting bus.
