Chapter 155: New Manchu Folk Customs

The driver tinkered a few times in a row, and it was useless, and in the end he slapped it helplessly, and said a new Manchurian word to us, although I didn't understand, but it was definitely not a good word, fortunately, the identity of the scientific expedition team made these new Manchurian natives no longer embarrassed us, and I sat back under the driver's cold gaze!

When Anna returned to the car, the whole carriage returned to its original eerie calm, and after experiencing the events on the train, coupled with the strange appearance on the bus just now, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, could it be that we really brought something unclean?

It was a few hours away, and when we arrived at Qiangdi County, it was already dark, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the so-called Qiangdi County was actually a small village, and even a little desolate, the driver drove us out of the car when we arrived at the entrance of the village, and the four of us did not dare to refuse, but hurriedly asked him if he had a place to stay when he got off the car!

The driver just said coldly, let us find a guest house and go! In the whole Qiangdi County, there are few outsiders on weekdays, and as for the overnight stay, it is even more impossible for the locals of Xinfeng Shaman, and the only thing that can shelter from the wind and snow is the guest house built by the government in the early years!

Since it was a guest house, it was supposed to be a good place, so I didn't think much about it, so I led the three of them towards the wind and snow!

The four of us walked side by side on the deserted streets, and we could sometimes see the earthen houses built by the locals around us, but due to the weather and the wind and snow, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally one or two could be seen, and before we could get closer, they glared at us coldly and turned away!

Zhou Wenwu cheekily knocked on the doors of the two families, and all he got was the cold gaze of the host, and the new Manchu words that he couldn't understand!

The language barrier has become the biggest obstacle at the moment, making it a little difficult for us to inquire about the location of the guest house, coupled with the fierce folk customs here, after two closed doors in a row, we no longer hope for these prejudiced natives!

After a little scrutiny, the four of us walked towards the place where the houses were most concentrated, since it was a guest house built by the government, it should be in the center of this county!

It's just that when we got closer, we still saw a small earthen house, and we went back and forth, and we didn't see any special signs, and there wasn't even a store in the whole county!

"What the hell is going to sleep in the open!" Zhou Wenwu complained: "With such a big snow, it can't be frozen!" ”

"It is said that the new Manchurian people are fierce and isolated from the world, and this time I can be regarded as a teacher! How can these natives be so disgusted with outsiders! ”

I sighed helplessly, looked around, the green smoke in the earthen houses around me, it was dinner time, even through the wind and snow, I could smell the aroma, Zhou Wenwu said in a deep voice:

"I'll try again! It's really not good to beg for a bowl of rice, let's spend money to buy it! I still don't believe it, in my Great Heavenly Empire, there are still things that money can't buy! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Wenwu walked towards the nearest courtyard, the whole courtyard was surrounded by a half-human high earthen wall, there were three earthen houses, and there was a shack on one side, and three camels were tied to it!

Although I was a little worried, it was a long way to go, so we didn't have a lot of equipment with us, all of which were necessary to explore Yelan, and besides, the temperature difference between day and night in Xinmandi was huge, so it was obviously not a good idea to sleep in the open!

The three of us waited outside the courtyard for news from Zhou Wenwu, but as soon as he entered the house, there was a burst of angry shouting, followed by cold Xinmanchu words, and Zhou Wenwu's successive shouts:

'Not on purpose, not on purpose!' ’

The three of us were startled, and when I looked up, I saw Zhou Wenwu crawling out of the house

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

came out, and behind him came an old couple, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with thin bodies and faces full of vicissitudes, but the faces of the two of them at the moment were the same cold, and the old man even carried a machete in his hand!

"I'm Cao! Why do you want a knife if you want a meal! Uncle, don't be angry, don't dare to use the knife! Isn't it okay if we don't eat it? I shouted loudly and hurriedly came to the front, the old man and the two men saw this, not only did they not stop, but the fierceness between their expressions became a little heavier, waving the machete in their hands, Ula Ulla shouted, although I didn't understand, but looking at the look must be scolding us!

"Uncle! Uncle! I don't understand! We don't eat it! I don't want to eat it! ”

As I spoke, I grabbed Zhou Wenwu and retreated out of the courtyard, but the old man was aggressive, the long knife in his hand pointed into the house, and then looked at Zhou Wenwu, still scolding! And the lady on the side was not idle, seeing that we were leaving, she took a shovel directly from the side and put it in front of the courtyard gate!

"Monk, what did you do with them! Why don't you die! ”

"I didn't do anything! I just glanced at the paintings hanging in their house! ”

"Painting? What paintings? ”

"Who! Look at the spring picture hanging on the front wall! I still wonder if this old couple is not old! Before I could speak, he came out with a knife! ”

Hearing this, I looked down into the house, and saw an old painting hanging in the earthen house, about four feet, the color had turned yellow, and the painting on it was just as Zhou Wenwu said, it was actually a naked woman!

When the old man saw me looking at the portrait in the room, his expression became a little more excited, and he pointed to me and pointed to the portrait, as if he wanted me to kneel down for the portrait!

I was shocked! That's their shaman!

Shamans are the gods of the New Manchu faith, similar to the existence of prophets, and even the rules of these locals are led by shamans, and each generation will elect a new shaman as their leader, similar to priests and village heads!

And the so-called spring map is a sacrosanct existence in the hearts of these locals!

Zhou Wenwu suddenly broke into it, he must have shown disdain for their shaman, no wonder this old man was so angry!

Knowing what was going on, I hurriedly bowed to the portrait in the room and said, "What! Uncle, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Why are you stunned, make amends! ”

"Apocalypse for a bare-ass bitch?"

"You have a few words! That's their prophetic shaman! Hurry up! ”

After that, Zhou Wenwu reluctantly saluted, and Sun Qing and Anna on the side could only endure the embarrassment and salute together, and the anger of the old couple subsided slightly, but they had no intention of stopping there, and they still kept talking to Zhou Wenwu!

I sighed helplessly, turned my head to look, even if there was a wind and snow, the movement here will also alarm the surrounding natives, one by one standing in front of the house is looking at themselves, if it is entangled, I am afraid that several of us will not be able to get out!

I took a step forward, stretched out my hand to the old man, and said, "Uncle! Let's have something to say, go into the house and say okay... ”

Unexpectedly, before I finished speaking, this old man seemed to be offended by my action again, without saying a word, he slashed over with a knife, I hurriedly dodged, and then avoided, followed by a canglang, Sun Qing's personal dagger has been unsheathed!

"His grandmother's! Shame on the face! I beg you that I can't do it, I have to give you some color to see! ”

Zhou Wenwu also followed

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zhi scolded angrily, relying on his own kung fu but not afraid, in fact, even my heart is a nest fire, although Zhou Wenwu and Sun Qing's methods are good, but now after all, it is someone else's territory, and it is impossible to directly regret the entire Qiangdi native!

I was muttering about how to resolve it, and when this old man saw that we were lit up, he actually looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, wow, obviously summoning the villagers!

"Hey! You old fellow, it's endless! ”

The last of my patience was completely worn out, and the natives around me had already gathered around here when they heard the rumors, but before we could make a move, a broken Mandarin came:

"Where did you come from,,, don't... Don't mess with things here! ”

I looked back and saw a man in his thirties, with black hair disheveled, already the length of a shawl, not tall, and extraordinarily thin, with a somewhat shriveled face and a yellowed beard at the corners of his mouth!

He came to the courtyard first, shouted at us, and then spoke the indigenous language, and then the old man unbelievably pressed the machete in his hand, and even the villagers who had surrounded him retreated with a wave of his hand!

"Don't panic! Don't panic! Coming from other places, I don't know the rules here, I understand the misunderstanding! ”

"Thank you! We just wanted to beg for a bowl of rice and inquire about the location of the guest house, but it was really a misunderstanding! ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and said a few words to the old man, and then stretched out his hand to signal us to enter the house, I hurriedly shook my head, and the middle-aged man smiled: "It's okay!" I'm the next shaman here! Chierdo... Forehead! You can call me Crimea! Come on, it's okay! ”

Due to the attitude of this old man, despite the confidence on this Kerim's face at this moment, the four of us did not dare to go in, and finally met someone who could communicate, I hurriedly took out the documents of the scientific expedition team and expressed my intention to him!

"The expedition team? Uh, understood, understood! I can't live anywhere, I'll take you to the guest house! Be prepared, though! ”

Krimu only glanced at the papers, and led us out of the old man's courtyard, and the location of the guest house was the same as I expected, it was indeed in the center of the village, but the so-called hospitality was more simple than I imagined, so that we could not even find it when we passed past it!

"Oh, this is it!"

Kurim pointed to the three dilapidated livestock houses in front of him, looking embarrassed:

"We don't have outsiders here! The guest house built by the government is abandoned, but fortunately, the weather is bad during this time, and the camels are all at home. ”

"It's a guest house!"

Zhou Wenwu walked up to him, picked up a wooden sign from the snow, and finally saw the familiar words!

"That's it! I can avoid the wind and snow! Pack it up! ”

The matter has come to this, we can only live here first, although Krimu has the heart to take us in, but his own residence is not big, so he can only give up, the two of us exchanged a few words, and he turned away!

"Heavenly Official! Look at what! Come and help! I finally met a reasonable person, think about how to talk to him tomorrow! ”

"Reasonable?"

I looked back at Zhou Wenwu and sneered: "He is the next shaman, it stands to reason that the so-called faith should be more deep-rooted!" Ordinary natives are still like this, don't you think he's too enthusiastic as a shaman? ”
