Chapter 211: What I Saw
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ning Yuan wouldn't have been able to imagine Li Yan's hand speed at all.
Li Yan set up ten tents, it would be good if they could catch one, it was rare that Li Yan didn't dislike them.
"Sister, is there anything you wouldn't have?"
In the blink of an eye, Li Yan set up another one, looked up and replied with a smile, "I can't cook vegetables." ”
Hearing Li Yan say that he couldn't cook, Zhou Ziheng, who was standing in place and suffered a huge blow, his eyes lit up again, and he felt that he could do it again, and in other places, he couldn't catch up with his sister even if he beat the horse, and then he had to work his cooking skills.
Zhou Ziheng was instantly ambitious.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but look at his friend sympathetically, feeling that if his friend wanted to earn face in front of his sister, his life would not be too easy in the future.
Li Yan stopped after setting up two tents, even Zhou Ziheng and the one they built, the seven of them, it should be enough to sleep separately.
Li Yan set up the tent, Xiao Qi also found the water source and came back, and the boys followed Xiao Qi to carry water and fish.
Li Yan was a little relaxed, he wanted to help the little girl make a fire, the little girl had the shadow of the burning roof, he was afraid of her, so he didn't let her help, so he could only hand the firewood to the little girl aggrievedly.
When the little girl made a fire, Xiao Qi returned with a full load, dozens of live fish were loaded in the bamboo basket, Yao Shisan also caught two pheasants and rabbits for her, and a few people cleaned them up directly by the river, and brought several buckets over.
Li Yan took a pot of water from the carriage and watered the flowers, and when she finished watering, the smell of barbecued meat could already be smelled in the air.
"Come and eat barbecue."
Several young people shouted at her in unison, Zhou Ziheng had experience in night walking, and the things were well prepared, Li Yan and Yao Shisan, Xiao Qi had eaten two or three wild games in Liuzhu Village, and Kumquat and Cai Buyu were the most interested among the people.
The little girl still likes to do it herself, so Cai Buyi recommended herself to him as an assistant, two people roasted one by one, and one handed her skewers and gifts, and the cooperation was quite good.
Under the light of the fire, everyone was happy, and such a scene was exactly what Li Yan wanted, and she joined them with a smile.
This night, in addition to no wine, they had a good time, and Xiao Qi also improvised a sword dance for them, which attracted everyone's cheers, and the most surprising thing was Cai Buyi, this second ancestor actually had a stunt ventriloquism.
He imitated all kinds of sounds for them on the spot, such as the barking of dogs, the crying of birds, the crying of babies, the soothing of women, the coughing of old men, and the sounds of all the people present.
Even the little girl had bad thoughts on a whim, and under the cover of the night, she told a ghost story, which scared the timid and afraid of ghosts Cai Buyu's face pale.
The night dispersed, the morning light appeared, and everyone had a good night's sleep, except for Cai Buyi, who was frightened by the little girl's ghost story and didn't sleep well all night.
After dawn, he hid in the carriage and took a nap.
He hadn't woken up when everyone had breakfast.
Li Yan didn't call him either, letting him sleep peacefully.
By noon, as Zhou Ziheng had expected, they entered the territory of Lingnan through the Great Yuling Mountains in southern Jiangxi.
Entering the hinterland of Lingnan, the number of houses gradually increased, and the living houses of Lingnan villagers were very different from those of Hejun, and the residential houses of Hejun were mostly made of green bricks and covered with green tiles.
In addition to the houses here are made of blue bricks and stone slabs, the outer walls are all patterned with flowers and birds, which looks magnificent.
Zhou Ziheng saw the two girls lying on the window, with a curious look, and said to them, "What you just saw is a traditional residential house in Lingnan, called "Wok Ear House", because its gable shape resembles a Wok Ear, so it is called Wok Ear House. Generally, it is the village that has been out of the high-ranking officials that is eligible to erect a wok-ear seal volcanic wall on the roof. ”
The wok-ear house symbolizes the two ears of the official hat, which has the meaning of "dominating the leader", which can only be used by the famous squire, and is also a symbol of the family's wealth. If a resident suddenly becomes rich, most of them will build a wok-eared house to show their wealth. ”
The little girl nodded and said she understood, "Then in the village we just passed, many families have erected wok ears to seal the volcanic wall, does it mean that this village is very rich." ”
Zhou Ziheng, "So to speak. ”
After passing through several villages, after entering the street, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and the road was full of strangely dressed strangers.
The little girl looked east and west, her eyes were a little unturned, and after a few snorts, the little girl pointed to a few little girls outside the window and said to Li Yan, "Miss, they are dressed curiously, but they look very beautiful." They have a lot of ornaments on their bodies, and they also have them on their heads, Miss, look at that girl, so many silver ornaments on her head, will her head really not be flattened? ”
"How can it be flattened."
Li Yan leaned against the window with the little girl, "You don't understand this, the little girl who wears silver is from the Miao nationality, and the Miao people have a proverb: no flower and no silver are not a girl, silver is about their marriage, about their dignity, and about their lives." It is not only an ornament, but also a symbol of the Miao ethnic group, which shows the Miao people's love for silverware. ”
"There are also Mongolian women who like to decorate their heads with coral agate amber, Dai and other southern ethnic minorities like to wear silver hairpins, silver necklaces, silver bracelets, etc., and the Wa people wear decorative circles made of fine rattan on their necks, arms, legs, and waists. Each ethnic minority has its own exotic characteristics. ”
The little girl looked at it and said, "Then it's a little surprising that these ethnic minorities with their own living habits and characteristics can coexist peacefully in Lingnan." ”
Li Yan said, "Because Lingnan is a tolerant city, and thanks to Zhao Tingshi's good governance, it is so thriving today, and even those officials who have committed crimes and have been demoted regard Lingnan as their second hometown." “
The little girl nodded as if she understood.
Between the two of them asking and answering, several young people looked at the girl with admiration.
Ning Yuan said, "My sister has never been to Lingnan, and I don't want to see such a profound knowledge, so I really admire it." ”
This little girl will, she smiled, "My young lady has read a lot of books, and as early as when she was planning to go to Lingnan, she turned all the books about Lingnan into pieces, so it's not strange to know this." ”
"I see." Ning Yuan sighed again and again, "My sister is really diligent. ”
Zhou Ziheng, the pet sister on the side, said, "This is the benefit of reading more, learn a little." ”
"Can I choose to keep rotting?" Ning Yuan's face wrinkled, he was really not a studious person.
Zhou Ziheng, "If you don't want to enter Class A at the end of the year, you can continue to fish, but I didn't say it." ”
After Zhou Ziheng finished speaking, Ning Yuan began to sigh with a sigh.
Yao Shisan, Cai Buyi, and Xiao Qixiao are schadenfreude, they are not Ning Yuan, but they don't have any troubles in this regard, seeing that Ning Yuan is depressed, they are happy.
