In the third year of the Great Qin Jiaxin, on the evening of August 14.

Yangzhou Mansion, Yuhang Liu Mansion is in the main house, and there is a letter on the desk-

Parents:

When you receive this letter, if nothing else, I will already be in Miaojiang, everything is fine here, don't worry about me.

Jiang Xiaoshu, that is, the Jiang Daxia I said before, I have gradually discovered his true face recently, he doesn't listen to orders at all, and he always talks to me.

The wild wolf's Sheng Yu Ember didn't say much, but he always sat alone, chattering, and his brain didn't seem to be very bright.

In short, I broke my heart for these two guys, the only one who knows something is Wang Jinwei, he also went on the road with us, worthy of being the king of chefs, I have almost become a big ball in the past two days......

(A drop of vegetable soup falls here, and the writing behind it becomes blurred.) ）

Okay, let's talk about it first, in short, you two remember to take care of your body, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, don't forget to eat moon cakes, I'll be home soon, huh...... I'm sure I'll be there before the Chinese New Year, so remember to pick me up.

(There is no signature at the end of the letter, only a cute girl's head is drawn)

Liu Changsheng put down the letter and looked sad:

"My miserable daughter."

…………

At this moment, thousands of miles away.

Liu Lingwei on horseback shouted:

"Jiang Xiaoshu, I'm so tired, it's time to rest."

Jiang Xiaoshu in front of him seemed to be deaf, he didn't even look back, and walked forward by himself.

Liu Lingwei shouted a few more words, Jiang Xiaoshu was indifferent, and Wang Jinwei, who was carrying a large bag on his back, answered:

"Miss Liu, we've just rested."

With that, he pointed behind him, where the ashes of the fire were still smoking, apparently having just been extinguished.

Liu Lingwei muttered:

"But why am I hungry again?"

Sheng Yuyan, who was leading the horse for her, originally lowered his head and didn't say a word, but at this moment he grabbed the horse:

"Liu Lingwei, I'm going to let go."

Then he was about to let go of the reins, Liu Lingwei blinked her eyes, closed her mouth, seemed to be worried about her self-control, and reached out to cover her mouth firmly.

Finally stopped for a while. Jiang Xiaoshu in front sighed lightly.

He has already discovered a rule, if Liu Lingwei stays somewhere, she will be honest, and maybe she can contribute at a critical moment. But once she hurried up, Liu Lingwei was like opening a chatterbox, and she could repeat her words for a hundred days, which was like a drag oil bottle.

The most important thing is that the rhetoric of "closed-mouth Zen" can't deceive her, every time Jiang Xiaoshu mentions this, Liu Lingwei sneers angrily: "I don't believe in you, I've been with you for so long, and I don't teach me any martial arts......"

Jiang Xiaoshu had no choice but to pass on some whip techniques to her, and Sheng Yu Ember taught her how to hold a knife, but Liu Lingwei only learned the winding of the whip method and the vertical splitting of a single knife, and began to play tricks and not practice, not to say that the calluses on her hands became ugly, or that Zama Bu was not elegant at all, or that she had a headache and brain fever, anyway, she was beaten to death and did not practice, and she came and went, and the matter of learning kung fu was also put on hold......

It has been more than ten days since he set off from Ba County, and Jiang Xiaoshu feels that he has already become calm and angry under Liu Lingwei's training.

Until Liu Lingwei's voice sounded again:

"Jiang Xiaoshu, how long will we arrive?"

"Fuck it!" Jiang Xiaoshu jumped up and scolded:

"Liu Lingwei, this is the twenty-seventh time today, let's talk about it, I'll tie you up and send you home."

Liu Lingwei's chest straightened,-for-tat:

"But we've been walking in this deep mountain and old forest for more than ten days, and these rare trees just look interesting, but they're tired of seeing too much, aren't you annoyed?"

"......" Jiang Xiaoshu was silent for a moment, sighed, and took out a map from his arms:

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, stop for a while, I'll see how long it will take."

After a while, Jiang Xiaoshu closed the map:

"It's done, don't call, we have at most five miles to get to Qianhu Miao Village."

"Really?" Liu Lingwei immediately raised her neck to look, but she couldn't see anything, she said disappointedly:

"Why do you grow so many trees, you can't see anything, if it weren't for this official road, I would have thought we were lost."

"This official road was built by Emperor Chonghuang." Jiang Xiaoshu looked at the bluestone official road that was incompatible with the towering ancient trees around him, and sighed:

"The old emperor has great ambitions, resisting the wolves, harvesting seedlings, leveling Liaodong, and covering Baiyue...... He wants to do everything, but he has to do things for several generations in one generation, and after all, he can't do it, and in the end, he is in the prime of life, and he will control Bintian. ”

Liu Lingweiqi said:

"It turns out that this road was built during the period of Emperor Chonghuang, and I thought it had been hundreds of years."

Jiang Xiaoshu explained:

"In ancient times, the ancestors of the Miao Jiang people failed to fight with others, so they came to live in seclusion in the southwest mountains, which was at least hundreds of thousands of years ago, and at that time our Great Qin had not yet been founded. Even when Great Qin founded the country, everyone didn't know that there were people living in this mountain......"

With a pop, Jiang Xiaoshu pulled out his long sword and said with fascination:

"It wasn't until Emperor Taizong Yongshuo appeared that everyone found out that there was another cave ...... here."

"I know, I know," at the mention of Emperor Yongshuo, Liu Lingwei immediately became excited:

"That is the emperor of Great Qin's most prosperous martial arts, and Great Qin has increased from the original Kyushu to fourteen states in his hands, has he ever been to Miaojiang?"

Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:

"Although there is no detailed record in the historical data, the information about Miao Jiang and thousands of Miao villages has only been available since then."

Liu Lingwei was a little strange:

"A male lord like Emperor Yongshuo actually didn't knock down Miao Jiang?"

Jiang Xiaoshu shook his head:

"I don't know, I only know that since there are historical materials about Miaojiang, the people of Miaojiang have been very hostile to our Central Plains people, and for a hundred years since Emperor Yongshuo, very few people have come here."

Liu Lingwei was taken aback:

"Huh? Wouldn't we be bad? They're not going to take us and eat us, are they? ”

Jiang Xiaoshu glanced at her and stomped on the soles of her feet:

"What is this?"

"Your boots."

"Stupid, this is the official way...... Didn't the old emperor build this official road just to establish diplomatic relations with the Miao Jiang people? Since the people of Miao Jiang were able to come to our Daqin through this road to trade, the relationship between us and them has been much more harmonious, although it is not as close as a family, at least we will not see each other. ”

"Here we are." Sheng Yushen's voice came, interrupting the two.

When a few people heard this, they immediately quickened their pace, and after a while, a high-pitched and loud singing voice came from a distance, in Miao language, and everyone only heard the general meaning:

The sun comes out to shine on the white rock, the honeysuckle rolls down, the honeysuckle I don't love, only love the sister and the good talent......

Then a sweet and enthusiastic female voice sounded, far from harmonizing with the song:

The sun comes out and shines on the half-slope, the honeysuckle rolls downhill, I don't love the honeysuckle, I only love the brother and sing the song......

Liu Lingwei heard this enthusiastic song, and her face turned red:

"Why are they singing so bold......

Jiang Xiaoshu said with a smile:

"Miao Jiang is far from the customs of the Central Plains, I can be regarded as having seen it."

Unlike the Central Plains people, who pay attention to subtlety and euphemism, the expression of Miao Jiang people is more straightforward and enthusiastic. In the Central Plains, the love between men and women cannot be said on the surface, but it can be sung generously here.

After several people bypassed a notch, they all stopped.

Everyone was on the top of a hillside, and under the reflection of the setting sun overhead, a rainbow stretched across the sky.

At the foot, the orderly terraced rice fields stretch out, and at the end of the terraced fields, there is a huge Miao village surrounded by mountains.

Thousands of Miao villages really live up to the name, there are thousands of Miao wooden stilted buildings built according to the mountain, and the continuous pieces occupy most of the mountain wall, and the stilted buildings with beautiful shapes have become the brightest scenery here.

These stilted buildings seem to be integrated with the surrounding rare and exotic woods, and the people of Miaojiang in the stilted buildings have also become friendly neighbors with those green bamboo flowers and birds, the fragrance of flowers and the sound of insects are the most enthusiastic confession of the mountains to the people of Miaojiang.

A meandering river surrounds this huge ancient Miao village, the river water is crystal clear, and there are five beautiful wind and rain bridges on it, which are strangely beautiful, magnificent and exquisite.

At this moment, the clear waves on the river are rippling slightly, and there are many Miaojiang girls washing clothes on the river.

These girls are dressed in the unique clothes of the Miao people, and under the plain and simple clothes, there are long skirts sewn with batik cloth.

The background color of batik cloth is mostly blue, and all kinds of exquisite patterns are dyed with strange techniques - butterflies flying, fish leaping and birds flying, stars and mountains......

Some of the girls wore headbands around their heads, while others wore elaborate silver ornaments.

They whispered in their companions' ears, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and one girl squinted her eyes and snickered, while her companion blushed and splashed the river with her hands, and the two girls immediately frolicked.

There was a vast square in the Miao Village, and there were bursts of bright and rich music at this time, and the strange timbre immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Xiaoshu and his party.

More than ten Miaojiang people are playing the reeds, jumping and dancing with the music, their feet change into a beautiful posture according to the rhythm of the reed sheng's tune, with the silver ornaments on the heads of several women, eager to fly.

And in the circle they formed, there was a beautiful girl dressed in a gorgeous costume, dancing to the sound of the reeds.

The strange contrast between the beautiful figure and the rich and bright music creates a unique and mysterious beauty in this girl.

The innocent and smart eyes are like a pearl on her smiling face.

Just like the thousands of Miao villages in front of you, it has become the most moving treasure in this deep mountain.

When everyone saw this magnificent and peculiar scenery, they had countless emotions and questions in their hearts, but in the end, they didn't say anything.

Because Qianhu Miao Village answered everything with beauty.

"It's beautiful." Sheng Yu Ember was the first to speak.

"I can't believe that there is such a treasure in the mountains." Wang Jinwei was also amazed.

"Damn, let me live here for the rest of my life, even if I live ten years less, I'm happy......" Jiang Xiaoshu was a little stunned and muttered to himself.

"Hey—" Liu Lingwei raised her hands to her mouth and called:

"Hello everyone from Miao Village!"

It's a pity that she is short of breath, although her voice is loud but short, it was blown away by the wind before it came out, and the Miao Jiang people below may not be able to hear it, but it shook Jiang Xiaoshu and others on the side to the eardrum and hurt.

"I'll do it." Jiang Xiaoshu was angry and shouted:

"The gentlemen of Miao Village, Jiang Xiaoshu, a person from Qincheng, came to visit with friends."

His voice was heard far away.

Then a strange scene appeared—the man and woman who were singing to each other suddenly lost their voices; The girls washing clothes by the river looked at each other and hurried home; The group of Miao Jiang people dancing the reed sheng dance in the square stopped, and they all turned their heads to look at Jiang Xiaoshu and his party.

Alert. Jiang Xiaoshu read the words in their eyes.

And after the girl in costume stopped dancing, she shouted a few words at Jiang Xiaoshu and them, but unfortunately she didn't know martial arts, and her voice couldn't come at all.

What's going on? There was a wave of doubts in everyone's hearts.

The next moment, a cold voice sounded:

"Exit, you are not welcome in Qianhu Miao Village."
