Chapter 518: The Mountain That Won't Let Me Go
"Really, where?"
Originally, I was still pretending to be angry that the boy was mocking me for drinking, but as soon as he said this, I couldn't wait to ask. After all, what is the purpose of running all the way for so long, isn't it possible to find a place for the children to retreat as soon as possible?
Xiao Tong was a little uncertain and said: "I went out early this morning to have a look, probably in a big mountain to the west of Miao Village." I still have a little impression of this place, but I'm not sure, after all, thousands of years have passed, and even in this big mountain, there have been a lot of changes. ”
However, when he said this, I waved my hand generously and told him that it was okay. When I came, I didn't expect to be able to find the place where the child was cultivating at one time. As Xiao Tong said, after all, there have been great changes in thousands of years. As long as I can find it as soon as possible, I'm satisfied.
Especially now that the child has told me that he has an initial goal, it has made me feel a lot more confident.
But just as I was discussing with Xiao Tong about entering the mountain, Uncle Miao and the fat man walked in from outside. Xiao Tong and I also stopped talking, and the next second before Uncle Miao asked, a white light flashed by, appeared in my arms, the little fox showed its figure, and raised the fox's head and whined at me twice.
I smiled at the little fox and rubbed it the little fox's head with my hand, until the little fox threw a resentful look at me. It also made us laugh.
However, after laughing, Uncle Miao took off a dry tobacco stick from the belt around his waist, put on the tobacco leaves, and while lighting a cigarette and smoking, he stared at the little fox meaningfully and said, "God, this little fox of yours is not simple!" ”
I was stunned, and I raised my eyes to meet the child's face. He moved his gaze to Uncle Miao again, pretending not to know and said, "Uncle, a fox is a fox, what's not simple?" ”
"I've lived a lot of years, and I've never seen a little fox with such spirituality!" Uncle Miao chirped, took two puffs of dry tobacco, and then said slowly.
I stared at Uncle Miao, his wrinkled cheeks, and looked at it for a while. I smiled and said, where, where. Then he opened the topic and chatted a few words. Until Miao Feng came to inform us to go down for breakfast.
Only then did our group stop chatting and walk down the bamboo building together. Because we only arrived at Miao Village in the middle of the night last night, we have not seen the scenery of Miao Village, and now when we get out of the bamboo building, we see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Miao Village, the air is fresh, and every household is smoking, in addition to the tranquility of the early morning, it is like a pastoral landscape painting. I can't help but feel like I'm in love here, and I'm in a lot more relaxed.
Walking down the stairs of the bamboo building, I came to the living room on the first floor of the bamboo building, where there was a table, on which there were already several Miao family snacks. In the kitchen of the side room not far from the living room, there is still a faint shadow of Miao Feng's busyness.
We went to the table together and chatted while waiting for Miao Feng. It didn't take long for Miao Feng to prepare breakfast, although the dishes were ordinary and there were no expensive ingredients, but they still made us appetize.
Originally, Uncle Miao also asked Miao Feng to take another jar of rice wine, and he wanted to pour it for us. I was so frightened on the spot that I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Uncle, we still have something to do in a while, so I won't drink this wine!" ”
Now I, because of last night's incident, have a shadow on Uncle Miao's wine. The strength of the wine is so great that if it were replaced by a person with a good amount of alcohol, it might still be enjoyable, but in me, it will only feel terrible.
Fortunately, Uncle Miao knew that my alcohol consumption was not good, so he didn't force me. But I still poured a bowl for the fat man and the little boy, I saw that neither of them refused, and I estimated that the amount of alcohol they had should be much better than mine, so I didn't say much.
However, after Uncle Miao poured the wine, he ate two mouthfuls of food, and gave a bowl to the two children. Suddenly said curiously: "God, I don't know if you came to Miao Village for tourism, or what are you doing?" ”
"Of course it's a tour!" I subconsciously became vigilant and said casually.
"Well, this tour is good! Other uncles don't dare to say, but when it comes to the scenery of our Miao Village, there are few places in the country that can compare. It's just that now Miao Village is located in a remote area, the economy is backward, in one word, poor! Uncle Miao sighed twice, and the next second he didn't know what to mean, but he still said sincerely: "But Uncle sees that you young people are good, and I warn you, there are many places to travel in Miao Village, but don't go to the mountains in the west." Remember, remember! ”
"Why?" I hurriedly said a word, and the next second I regretted it.
That Uncle Miao is a shrewd person, and when he saw us like this, he knew that we were really going to that mountain. His face couldn't help but become solemn, and his eyes stared at me and said, "God, are you really planning to go to the western mountains?" Uncle, it doesn't matter what you're going to do? But listen to the uncle's advice, really don't go, you must remember, otherwise the uncle will not be able to save you at that time! ”
"Uncle, what's in that mountain? Can't go yet? ”
I saw that what the uncle said was so serious, and I couldn't help but be curious about the mountain to the west, and asked.
Uncle Miao hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak. Suddenly, a cry sounded outside the main building, accompanied by noisy human voices and panicked footsteps.
When these voices gradually came clearly, Uncle Miao's face changed slightly, and he stood up all of a sudden and walked out of the bamboo building quickly. We also put down our chopsticks and followed.
When I came to the outside of the bamboo building, I saw more than a dozen Miao people, some old, some in the prime of life, and some women. There was a sad and angry look on his face, and when he saw Uncle Miao, he knelt on the ground one after another, crying and crying in Miao language.
It's a pity that I have been studying for ten years and have learned a lot of knowledge, even foreign languages. I just haven't learned the language of this place, and I obviously see that they speak quickly and their expressions are changeable, and fools can see that something is wrong, but because of the language barrier, I don't understand what they say at all. I scratched my head in a hurry.
Originally, I saw that Miao Feng was not far away, and I was also in tears, staring at the group of Miao people. I also stepped forward to ask a few questions. But Miao Feng burst into tears and shook his head, but he didn't say anything.
I had no choice but to stand there in a hurry, but after not being in a hurry for two minutes, I suddenly found that the little boy frowned slightly, a touch of anger flashed in his eyes, and the hands behind him clenched their fists tightly. The green tendons bulged out and knotted on it, which undoubtedly did not show the anger in his heart.
I couldn't help but be stunned, can this girl understand Miao language? Wait, the place where the child was cultivating was in Miaojiang, so he must be able to understand Miao language? I'm so stupid, I put such a good translator and don't ask, I ran to ask Miao Feng, it's really...
Thinking of this, I secretly blamed myself for a few sentences, and then looked at the fat man who was also dazed, and then walked in front of Xiao Tong, looked at Uncle Miao and those crying Miao people, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Tong, do you know Miao language?" Translation, translation, what do they say? Why are you crying so sadly? ”
