Chapter 191: Yaojiazhai
The young man's name is Yao Shengli, and he is a person from Yaojiazhai, and Yaojiazhai is one of the many primitive villages in the Ligong Mountains! Due to the special geographical location of Li Gongshan, there are still many primitive villages living an isolated and self-sufficient life, and Yaojiazhai is one of them!
It's just that the location of this village is a bit special, and the waterway to Moon Mountain is the water source of the entire village of Yaojia Village, and the whole village is therefore built near the pass of Moon Mountain!
Wang Qing was here for the first time last time, so he stopped in the village for two days to inquire about the situation, and Yao Shengli was taking on the task of going out to purchase necessities in the village on weekdays, so compared to most villagers, he could be regarded as having seen the world, and he was one of the few, or even the only few villagers in the village who knew what 'Caifeng' was!
According to Wang Qing's plan, we originally wanted to repeat the old tricks, directly rent a fishing boat, and take advantage of the dark night to enter the Moon Mountain directly by water, but Yao Shengli's appearance broke the original plan, because the waterway into the Moon Mountain was sealed by the village!
Even in modern society, these isolated villages still maintain many incredible, even incomprehensible customs and beliefs, and even more, the customs are different between each village, and water burial is one of the customs of Yaojiazhai!
Every time there is a water burial, the village will close the waterway until the water burial is completed! And this time it was not someone else who was buried in the water, it was Yao Shengli's father! And the time of each water burial is uncertain, as short as three or two days, as long as five or seven days!
The sudden change made Wang Qing confused for a while, he looked at me, I nodded secretly, although Wang Qing of Moon Mountain has been there once, but after all, this is the first time for us, so it is just the opportunity to take this opportunity to investigate the situation carefully! So Wang Qing pushed the boat down the river, and went to see the reason for the water burial, and followed Yao Shengli to Yaojiazhai!
The fishing boat sailed out of the ferry, Yao Shengli held the bamboo pole and walked slowly, even if it took nearly two days to rush back to Yaojiazhai by waterway, but this Yao Shengli did not show too anxious, after the direction of the bow of the boat was corrected, he put down the boat pole and let it go downstream, chatting with Wang Qing!
The water is not in a hurry, although there is no need to worry about the wind and waves, but his demeanor still makes me suspicious, and from his casual conversation with Wang Qing, this so-called water burial seems to be an extremely sacred thing in Yaojiazhai! Moreover, he mentioned two words more than once - Jing Po!
Just from the conversation between Yao Shengli and Wang Qing, his worship of Jing Po has reached the point of fanaticism, and he will not leave Jing Po Niangniang!
And the next day, Yao Shengli's performance made me even more confused, he didn't eat fish! Zhou Wenwu finally fished one out of the water, but he resisted with a face, under Wang Qing's explanation, this person from Yaojiazhai only ate fish from Yaojiazhai!
"What's that? Aren't the fish in Yaojiazhai caught in this water? ”

Zhou Wenwu couldn't help but speak, and Yao Shengli explained: "It's true that it's fished in the water, but only our Yaojiazhai has it!" In another half a day, after Li Gong Mountain, it will be counted to the boundary of Moon Mountain, if you are lucky, you will see the fish of our Yaojiazhai! ”
I smiled helplessly and said, "What's the matter, could it be that this fish is also rewarded to you by your Jing Po Niang?" ”
I was joking, but when Yao Shengli heard this, he said excitedly: "Brother Zheng, you are really right!" That's Jing Po fish! ”
I was speechless and said, "I'm not as big as you!" Call me brother! ”
Yao Shengli's performance reminded me of Old Man Bai, this kind of stubborn thinking of primitive villagers can be said to be deep-rooted! But when I looked at Wang Qing, his expression was not abnormal, but he smiled: "Last time, I heard the people from the village talk about this Jingpo fish, and this time I have to see what I say!" ”
"What's up! Is there really a Jing Po fish? Isn't this the same body of water? ”
Wang Qing shook his head and said, "It's the same one!" But how can I tell you, that Jingpo fish is indeed only found in the waters of Moon Mountain! And, victory, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that Jing Po fish can't usually be eaten, right? ”
Speaking of Jing Po fish, the confidence in Yao Shengli's eyes spontaneously emerged: "That is, Jing Po fish is the gift of Jing Po Niangniang, only in the month of the sacrifice, and when the village is doing business, it will be caught!" You've caught up this time! ”
With doubts about Jingpo fish, we continued to march towards Yaojiazhai, half a day later, the waterway along the mountain through a roundabout, and then there is a rapids with a drop of about 100 meters, Yao Shengli finally held up the bamboo pole again, although the rapids are brave, but this guy is calm, effortlessly supporting the fishing boat through this rapids!
According to his words, after this rapid, even if you enter the waters of Moon Mountain, there is only less than half a day's waterway from Yaojiazhai!
I looked at the waters on both sides again, and the surface of the water began to glow with a faint green light, but it was still clear, but at first the school of fish that had been jumping everywhere was gone! I looked back at the rapids and smiled:
"I thought there was some magic, but I was just swimming against the current! Naturally, there are many fewer fish! ”
Yao Shengli also looked back at the rapids and said, "This is a pure land left by Jing Po Niangniang!" Therefore, there are no foreign fishermen coming to fish in Moon Mountain! ”
For Yao Shengli's stubbornness, I can't argue with him, but I shook my head helplessly, and looked forward, although Moon Mountain is a branch of Li Gong Mountain, but its mountain is also not to be underestimated, but the sky above my head is gloomy, making the peaks also foggy, and I can't see it for a while!
After the last few hours of waterway, a Lingnan village built in a jungle mountain stream finally came into view

Middle! The five of us couldn't help but come to the spirit, and we all got up!
After Yao Shengli fixed the fishing boat, he couldn't wait to get off the boat, the village was still two or three hundred meters away from the place where the boat was parked, but because it was built by the mountain, the scattered houses could already be clearly seen, and the walled houses built of dark logs showed a strong border style!
Yao Shengli led us along the slightly muddy path towards the village, but when we arrived at the village, there was no one to be seen! The surrounding houses that stood tall across the ground were also closed, and only the wooden fence under the walled house kept coming from the roosters and pigs!
Yaojiazhai is located in the deep mountains, inconvenient to come and go, but it is precisely because of this that the villagers have to be self-sufficient, so almost every house has a livestock pen built, and there are many common livestock and poultry!
"Brother Victory! What about cattle in this house? You can live! ”
Zhou Wenwu pointed to a cowshed not far away, and his eyes were also a little surprised, Yao Shengli replied: "After all, it's a modern society!" However, these animals are not something that can be killed casually! Only on the day of the sacrifice can you kill, as for this cow, it is the patriarch's family! In the whole village, only the patriarch can raise cattle! Moreover, even the patriarch did not dare to touch it easily, the land in the mountains was the most scarce, and he had to rely on them to grow food! ”
"Oh! You can only see it, but you can't eat it! But why is there no one here? ”
"Ahh I forgot to tell you that all the clansmen in the village have to participate in the water burial! It's all in the square! Let's go straight too! Outsiders are coming to the village, so you have to notify the patriarch first! Brother Wang Qing knows! ”
Even if I have arrived at the village, I still did not see Yao Shengli have the slightest grief revealed, we followed him through the village, to the so-called square, but it has always been a habit, I almost instinctively looked around the village, and couldn't help but secretly say strange!
In the land of Lingnan, due to the geographical location and climate, there are many poisonous insects, even if the ground has been separated, it is common to wake up and have a few more poisonous snakes and centipedes on the bed! Therefore, Lingnan villages generally remove the weeds around their houses and leave corresponding open areas, in order not to give these poisonous insects an environment to live and nourish!
Some even deliberately put insect repellent vegetation around the house, but this Yaojiazhai is not the case, along the way, every house is surrounded by lush grass, and it seems that it is not a special insect repellent vegetation, but most of them can be directly used to feed livestock!
However, this is also a bit too much! It's all in front of the house and behind the house, and it's like this in every house! Even if it's for the convenience of feeding livestock, it shouldn't be in such quantities!
Seeing that the whole village was like this, I couldn't hide my curiosity, and just as I was about to ask Yao Shengli, I saw him pointing to a small hillside not far away and saying:
"It's here!"
