Coming out of the old man's house, Wang Mingyuan did not continue to ask about other people's homes, but walked directly towards Lu Haizhen's house.

The person is right, what makes Wang Mingyuan happy is that he can be sure that this Lu Haizhen does have a secret sales channel.

Just now, his own "high-priced" acquisition inadvertently poked the pain point of the elderly.

took a risk to do this kind of thing, and as a result, he only got a small benefit, and the big head was earned, which was the reason why he was angry, so he expressed his dissatisfaction.

It is not difficult to hear that the old man seems to be a little jealous of Lu Haizhen.

And the most important point, in just two years, Lu Haizhen has built a new big house, and it is not difficult to see that he has made a lot of money.

Building a wooden building is not like a tile house, although the materials can be taken directly from the mountain, but the wooden building of pure wooden structure, more shows the hands and feet of the masters, often the cost is not low, except for some masters who have their own craftsmanship, can be completed little by little by accumulating over time, in exchange for ordinary people, it is not easy to get it within a year or two.

Look at this village, most of the people's wooden buildings, many of them are all kinds of log poles, all kinds of messy blockages in the cracks, compared to his house, the windows can even have withered flowers, painted brightly...... It's not the same!

Wang Mingyuan arrived in front of Lu Haizhen's house and found that the gate of the courtyard was open, but it was quiet inside.

He immediately walked in: "Is there anyone?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the side room was torn open, and a more sturdy old man walked out, opened his mouth and shouted, "Who are you, who let you in?" ”

This...... I don't have the slightest good face!

What about good hospitality?

Wang Mingyuan was a little stunned for a while.

Or did you touch some taboo?

There are so many ethnic groups in Yun Province, and many of them have their own rules and avoidances, which Wang Mingyuan knows.

Although it is said that after a few decades, the various ethnic groups in Yun Province have kept pace with the times and opened up a lot, perhaps, all kinds of avoidance are not so harsh, but there are still many rules to be followed.

When you enter the township, you should know how to follow the customs and respect it, otherwise, in exchange, it will be light if you don't give a good face.

It is normal to offend certain taboos, and even kill someone.

As far as Wang Mingyuan knows, the avoidance of the Zhuang family is quite complicated, but most of the avoidance is about women.

Of course, he had only heard about it, and he didn't know the details.

Therefore, when I didn't get a good face, I began to guess whether I was committing a taboo.

But it is also a Zhuang family, and the taboos are different, and many things are very lake-containing and unclear.

For example, some people say that the Zhuang family does not eat dog meat.

There is a story that the Zhuang family once had a child who was raised by a dog's milk, so there is this taboo.

But on the contrary, there are some places where the Zhuang family does not have this taboo, and there is even a dog meat festival.

Most likely because of religious beliefs.

For example, not being able to use your fingers to certain "sacred objects" is also one of the taboos of the Zhuang family.

Many things are inexplicable, and having this rule is the greatest reason.

was stunned, but heard the old man shout again: "Didn't you see the straw hat hanging at the door?" Get out! ”

Hung a straw hat?

What does it mean!

Wang Mingyuan became more and more confused.

However, he was sure that he had committed some taboos that he did not know about.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the rules in the village, I just came to find someone to take a look, and I want to buy some black knotweed Xifeng bucket."

"You can't do anything, bad luck, if you don't leave, do you want me to beat you out?" The old man's words became more and more vicious.

Wang Mingyuan didn't say much anymore and withdrew with interest.

Outside the courtyard, I saw a straw hat hanging on the wooden stick on the left side of the courtyard gate.

This is in someone else's village, alone, you should bow your head or you have to bow your head, otherwise, you will only suffer yourself!

It seems that in this village, you still can't enter at will.

Wang Mingyuan retreated, and when he saw that the old man from the previous family was upstairs in his house, looking at him through the window, he simply returned.

"Why did you come back?" The old man greeted him and asked.

"I was scolded out, saying that there was a straw hat hanging at the door, and I don't understand this!" Wang Mingyuan shook his head, a little helpless.

"Hung up a straw hat?" The old man was also stunned: "I didn't have it yesterday, why did I suddenly hang it up?" ”

"Uncle, is there anything to say about this?" Wang Mingyuan asked curiously.

"In the Zhuang family, usually when a woman gives birth, or has a special patient, or has a domestic animal giving birth, etc., a straw hat will be hung at the door, indicating that no one is allowed to enter, which means that it is unknown and is very unwelcome."

The old man explained: "You were fine just now, you just entered the yard and did not enter the gate of the house, otherwise it would not be as simple as being scolded." ”

"Is there anything special about his family?" Wang Mingyuan asked.

"It is estimated that Lu Haizhen and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby...... Some time ago, someone from a foreign trade company was beaten and killed when he sent Xifeng Dou back to the county, and he was also one of the escorts, but he didn't go because his daughter-in-law said that he had a stomachache and thought he was going to give birth. Unexpectedly, after waiting for so many days, this time it should have been really born. ”

And this cutscene?

Could it be that he was not at the scene a few days ago, it was really just a coincidence?

Wang Mingyuan couldn't help frowning slightly, and said regretfully: "I can't even enter the door, it seems that this deal can't be done!" ”

"Don't worry, this Lu Haizhen is also a good hand at picking black knotweed, now is a good time to pick black knotweed, I also saw him go into the mountain in the morning, it's noon, maybe he'll be back soon, wait."

"It's okay, I'll just wait here, and by the way, I will also listen to the uncle tell me about these avoidances, and I will pay more attention in the future, so as not to inadvertently offend."

Wang Mingyuan gave the old man a cigarette again, and looked at the hookah made of dragon bamboo in his arms that had been turned ruddy by perennial rubbing: "Uncle, can I try the cigarette pipe?" ”

The old man smiled and handed the hookah to Wang Mingyuan: "I'll go and boil some water for you to make a cup of tea." ”

Next, the two had been chatting in the house, but they heard the old man talk about a lot of taboos in the Zhuang family.

For example, when a newlywed woman enters her husband's house, she cannot go to bed for the first three days; For example, you can't pee around the old people's house in the village, and so on.

The two kept chatting for more than two hours.

During this period, the hookah held by the old man never stopped, and it kept gurgling.

Wang Mingyuan tried this thing just now, took it and smoked it a few times, but he was choked so much that he didn't want it, and he didn't know how the old man managed to smoke it for so long without stopping. The pack of cigarettes that Wang Mingyuan was carrying was almost exhausted, but he never waited for Lu Haizhen to come back.

Seeing that it was not early and the road was sinister, Wang Mingyuan still felt that it was safer for him to return to the county seat earlier. Moreover, I have to return to 2023 at night, and I must find a safe place to stay.

So he said goodbye to the old man, got up and walked towards the car at the entrance of the village. As soon as he got in the car and started, he saw a young man carrying a basket down the mountain road, Wang Mingyuan saw at a glance that what he was in the basket was some black knotweed, so he stopped the car again: "Brother, are you black knotweed?" ”

Qingzhuang looked at Wang Mingyuan cautiously: "What are you doing?" ”

"I'll just ask, do you have any processed Xifeng buckets for sale? I came down from Mingcheng. I want to buy a batch. ”

"No, no, hurry up, we have to send these black knotweeds to the foreign trade company, and there is a policy on it."

"I'm from the Reclamation Bureau...... Wang Mingyuan tried to reveal his identity to prove that he wasn't fooling.

"No one anywhere can't do it, besides, if you have this ability, go directly to the foreign trade company, directly find the county leaders, why bother to run to our village, people like you, I've seen a lot, let's leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for reporting you!" Qingzhuang said impatiently.

Belch...... It makes sense.

However, it is precisely because of this that Wang Mingyuan felt the difference between this young and strong.

Moreover, there seemed to be a different taste in his eyes, although he was talking, he kept looking at Wang Mingyuan and his jeep, his eyes flickered, and he was trying to restrain his panic.

"Alas......" Wang Mingyuan sighed, didn't talk nonsense, and drove away directly.

Qingzhuang watched Wang Mingyuan hang up the mountain road and couldn't see it, so he walked towards the village.

He didn't know that Wang Mingyuan had already stopped the car at this time, quickly rushed up the hillside next to him, got on a bush, and watched him go back to the house through the gap between the branches and leaves.

It was the family that Wang Mingyuan was kicked out of.

Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly, and said to himself: "He, it should be Lu Haizhen!" ”
