Chapter 100: Red Deer Wa Village, Mobasigu
"This ......"
"Brother Chen, that day Bamoap said that the natives here are extremely hostile to outsiders, will they?"
Hear this.
The partridge whistle straddling the horse's back couldn't help frowning slightly, and hesitated.
"Brother Dao, don't worry."
"Just touch it, it's naturally best to be able to enter the village, if you can't, it's okay, the mountains here are continuous, and it's okay to find a valley to set up camp."
Chen Yulou smiled and said casually.
Then he waved the guy away.
See him so calm.
Partridge Whistle didn't say much, just raised his eyes in the direction where the guy had disappeared.
Look beyond the dense forest.
You can faintly see a large river that winds and stretches, and the sound of rushing water echoes in all directions.
Except for him, the rest of the people were also uneasy.
After passing through the ancient city of Nanjian, they encountered a lot of villages along the way, but they saw outsiders passing by from a distance, either the gate was closed, or they were holding guns and spears, and the momentum was violent.
The old bear ridge is a cave people's Miao village.
There has been trade for generations.
It's so wary of outsiders.
This place is so remote, the natives have never been civilized, and even live in the era of Ru Mao drinking blood and slash-and-burn farming.
Can there be exceptions?
But the words are what the shopkeeper said, and they are not easy to refute.
The group could only sit on horseback and watch from afar, waiting in silence, only the horses below them sneeze a few times from time to time, or walk back and forth and neigh.
their minds.
How could Chen Yulou not understand?
He also saw the situation all the way.
It's just that it's really different from other places.
Descendants of the ancient Qiang people, Wa people.
These two keywords alone were enough for him to take a risk.
A thousand years ago, Prime Minister Zhuge pacified the Nanban and had an agreement with the Wa people, and the Wa people have been the Yongzhen country of the Han people for generations.
More than two hundred years ago.
There is also Li Dingguo, a famous general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who swore an oath with all ethnic groups and raised troops to go south to the west and stir up the world.
This Wa village has settled here for generations, and it is very likely that it still remembers the covenant of guarding the gate and the oath of the Han king.
That's what Chen Yulou gambled on.
Of course.
Even if the mountain people don't want them to enter the village, it's fine.
This trip to cover the Dragon Mountain was originally to steal the tomb of the king, and it is wrong to say more.
Waited for a moment.
And the man went and came back.
However, unlike his previous apprehension, his face was full of surprise at this moment.
"Shopkeeper, we have been in contact with that brother just now, and I heard that we came from afar to invite the patriarch, saying that as long as you show your identity, you can enter the village."
"Yes?!"
As soon as I heard this.
The eyes of the thieves, who were still suspicious, suddenly lit up.
It's a mountainous area, and it's getting dark.
If you really want to camp in the mountains, the danger can be imagined.
But it's different when you enter the village.
Maybe you can still have a hot meal to eat.
"Yes, when I came back, I saw a group of people coming out of the village from a distance, and two old men, who seemed to be of high status, rushed to the river."
The guy replied quickly.
"Okay, everyone, come with me first."
Hearing this, Chen Yulou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew he was right.
Those two old men are most likely the patriarchs of the clan and the owners of the village.
The fact that they were able to come out of the village to greet them already says it all.
Immediately patted the horse's back and rushed to the river, and the others did not dare to delay and chased after them.
and so on to cross the dense forest.
In the distance, I saw a large river across the mountains.
It twists and turns, shaped like a white python.
"Snake River ......"
Chen Yulou stood at the water's edge, and before he got close, he could feel a cold water vapor rushing towards his face, sweeping away the heat of the road.
The Snake River is formed by the convergence of streams after the ice and snow melt in Shalong Mountain.
Flowing between mountains and forests.
Eventually, it will merge with the Lancang River.
On the other side of the Snake River, you can faintly see an old village.
At a glance, it is not a bamboo building with a dry bar, or a chicken coop room built of grass and trees, with two floors.
See these two distinct features.
Chen Yulou was even more sure in his heart that this must be a Wa village.
Among the nearly 100 ethnic groups in southern Yunnan, only the Wa people will live in this kind of extremely characteristic cage house.
The mountains and forests are full of poisons, snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the mountains are rainy, and the upper layer of the chicken coop house is inhabited, and some chickens and ducks are raised underneath, which can perfectly adapt to this environment and landform.
And at the moment.
A tree-lined path with a canopy of trees.
Two old men with white hair, one on the left and one on the right, were coming with wooden sticks.
In addition to them.
There are also many young people.
All of them are strong, with short knives hanging from their waists, and bamboo bows behind them.
Looked at.
Chen Yulou didn't dare to hold it up, jumped off the horse, and handed the dragon horse into the hands of the guy on the side.
The same was true of the Partridge Whistle, and they dismounted.
Stand behind him.
The two groups of people looked across the river.
Soon.
A man with a rebellious expression, like a beast, stepped out of the crowd and shouted something at the group.
When they came, they also learned a few simple words of the various languages with Bhamo.
But at this moment, there is a feeling of listening to a book from heaven.
Chen Yulou didn't understand either.
But I can roughly understand what he means.
Immediately hugged his fists and said loudly.
"Chen Yulou in Xiangxi, passing by the treasure land today, came to visit, hoping to be allowed to stay overnight."
"Really Han Chinese?!"
He didn't make a big sound.
But it is just enough to make everyone on the riverbank hear it clearly.
A group of young people heard the clouds and fog, and they didn't know what was going on.
But an old man standing at the front, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he muttered in a low voice, and his jaw trembled beard, which had already exposed his thoughts.
"Sigur, can you be sure?"
"Since the departure of the Han King and the uncle, there has been no Han people here for hundreds of years."
The old man next to him was also very excited.
I heard a report from the mountain people in the village that a group of Han people came from the other side of the Snake River.
They were amazed.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out to investigate in person.
And the King of Han in his mouth is Li Dingguo.
As for the uncle, it was Wu Shangxian, who went deep into southern Yunnan more than 100 years ago, discovered silver mines, and was respected as the owner of the mine.
The two have a high status among the Wa people and are deeply popular with the people.
In various Wa tribes, for many years, there has been a saying of 'Yi Lao Li, Xi Lao Wu'.
It's just that......
From the death of the two.
The Wa and the Han Chinese were cut off from each other, and there was almost no contact.
Red Deer Village also lives deep at the foot of Shalong Mountain, and crosses the snow peak, which is the realm of foreign countries and other countries.
You can imagine how remote this place is.
Except for them, the descendants of Gu Diqiang, Gu Baipu, Baiyue or Sanmiao, who have lived here for generations, there is no one for hundreds of miles, and it is no different from the wilderness.
When they were children, they heard from the older generation that the Han King went south to the West and the story of the mine owner moving mountains to get silver.
Even more ancient rumors about Prime Minister Dingnan.
But.
They are now the oldest people in the village.
Half of his bones were buried in the ground.
I have never seen Han people come and go in my life.
Not to mention those young offspring?
"Listen to the accent."
The old man Sigu with a wooden staff was the oldest, nearly seventy years old.
It may not be anything in the future, but now in this year, it is still in the Wa village, which is extremely rare.
Moreover, he has a lofty status in the red deer village.
It's Moba.
That is, the Wa village wizard.
Legend has it that he is a man who communicates with the god Meji Okio.
It can exorcise ghosts, get married, and reassure people, as well as chant scriptures and divination.
In addition, it also has the responsibility of the herb doctor in the village.
It is also the inheritor of its own culture.
Today's Wa people do not have a written language, and all major events in the clan are recorded by pictures or straw ropes.
Sigu was in charge of the matter.
As for the old man next to him, he is the patriarch of this generation of red deer village, named Seso Tog.
However, most of the mountain people called him the patriarch, or Togtyuda.

Among the Wa people, Qiuda is equivalent to the Yi Apu.
They are all honorific titles for the elderly.
Just like Sigu, people don't call him by his first name, but call him Siguqiuda, or Moba Qiuda.
"Xigu, it's up to you, we old guys, we don't even know how to say it in Chinese......"
Torgue shook his head, looking slightly lonely.
For hundreds of years.
With the passing of the ancestors who followed the King of Han to the south to quell the Western Rebellion, the only person who can still understand Chinese in the red deer village today is the Xigu next to him.
"Don't overthink it."
"If it's really the queen of Han who comes here, it's a good thing."
Sigu tapped him on the shoulder.
The two of them grew up together.
In this generation, only the two old guys are still alive.
"Yes......"
Torgue nodded.
There was a hint of anticipation in those cloudy eyes.
The red deer village still enshrines the statue of Zhuge Ah Gong and the tablet of the king of the Han Dynasty.
If it is really the descendant of the Han king, how about a good thing?
They will have no regrets in this life.
"Ulo, don't be so hostile, help me through."
Sigu glanced at the figure in front of him holding a sword and a bow, shook his head and smiled.
Ulo is one of the best among the younger generation in the village.
Responsible for hunting and guarding.
"......"
Ulo subconsciously wanted to say something.
But facing the old man's calm eyes, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back again, stepped forward to support him carefully, and nodded.
"Yes, Sigutyuda."
But.
But he didn't dare to let down his guard against those on the riverbank.
Ulo hunts in the mountains all year round, fights wild beasts for his life, and has the most acute perception of danger.
The gang was dozens of paces away.
But the breath on his body and the evil aura in his eyes can't deceive people.
In his eyes, those people were more dangerous than the beasts of the mountains.
One more point.
In front of Siguqiuda, he didn't dare to say it.
Over the years, Red Deer Village and Mengla Village, dozens of miles away, have had a feud with each other, and they don't know how many times they have fought openly and secretly.
In case these people are invited by Mengla Village.
Once you enter the village, it is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house.
As the leader of the hunting party, he was responsible for the lives of the two hundred and thirty-seven men, women, and children in the stockade.
So.
While supporting Siguqiuda.
Ulo glanced back at the few people outside him quietly.
Those are the best hunters.
Neither swordsmanship nor archery is below him.
As long as there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, he doesn't dare to completely relax his heartstrings.
Several people's eyes exchanged silently in the air.
By the time Ulo turned around, they had secretly pressed the long knife on their waists, each with a slight bow, and their eyes under the red cloth on their foreheads showed a strong sense of ferocity.
"Shopkeeper, here."
From afar, I watched Ulo help the old man to the river.
The shopkeeper seemed to be a little distracted.
The red girl couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
Of course Chen Yulou saw it.
But he wasn't wandering into the world, he was worried.
Here, it seems that the Wa village has been closed off from the outside world for too long.
The Wa language of the Bamo religion at that time was very different from what they spoke.
Words that are incomprehensible.
You can't always communicate with gestures all the time.
The guys who came into contact with them before just talked and made gestures, and it took a while for the other party to barely understand.
"I am Moba of the stockade, and my name is Sigu."
"You ...... Is it really Han Chinese? ”
Chen Yulou was still wondering whether to make a gesture.
Suddenly.
A strange and unusually familiar voice rang in my ears.
Wait a minute......
And not only him.
Behind him, Partridge Whistle, Ling, Red Girl and others also raised their heads suddenly, with a stunned look on their faces.
The old man's words had a strong accent.
It sounds vague, but it's definitely Chinese.
"Yes!"
"Old man...... Qiuda, we are from Xiangxi. ”
Chen Yulou's expression could not hide his surprise.
Along the way, except for people like Bhamo who sail all year round, or do business in the ancient city of the docks.
People from other clans you meet.
Hardly any of them speak Chinese.
This was the first time they had heard Han after getting off the ship from the ancient city of Nanjian.
For a while, there was a rare feeling of a local sound.
"Xiangxi ......"
This place name has never been heard of in Sigu.
However, he has confirmed one thing.
That is the people who came from the other side of the Snake River, and they are indeed Han Chinese.
"Qiuda can know that in Shuzhong, Xiangxi and Shuzhong are separated by a province, and the two places are hundreds of miles away."
Seeing the old man on the other side, there was a little doubt and strangeness on his face.
Obviously, I don't know where Xiangxi is.
Chen Yulou's heart moved.
immediately mentioned the name of Shuzhong.
If his guess is correct, the Wa village here still remembers the oath with Prime Minister Yongzhen back then, then...... They must know Shuzhong.
Really.
It was almost the moment when the two words in Shu appeared.
Sigoon's old eyes burst into a flash of light.
The hands holding the wooden staff became a little trembling because of the emotion.
"Shuzhong...... Shuzhong. ”
"That's the old capital of Ah Gong."
A mist appeared in Sigu's eyes, and he kept muttering.
"Yes, Qiuda, we came from the prime minister's old capital."
Chen Yulou's mood was also surging.
Who would have imagined.
More than a thousand years have passed.
These Wa people, who don't even know how to speak Chinese, really remember the agreement with Prime Minister Zhuge back then.
"Good good ......"
Siguren said a few good words.
I let out a long breath, only to feel that my long-cherished wish for many years was finally coming true today.
Passing through the old capital of Ah Gong.
Then these people can be regarded as the descendants of Ah Gong.
"Ulo, quick, build a bridge, invite them into the village."
Sigu could still hold back the excitement in his heart, patted Ulo's arm vigorously, and said loudly.
"Qiuda, this ......"
Ulo didn't even understand what was going on.
The words that came out of Sigutyuda's mouth only felt extremely strange to him.
But now, Qiuda actually let himself build the bridge.
The Snake River is the last barrier of the village.
Once the bridge is built, he is not sure that he will be able to block those people through the draft.
"If you want to go, go as soon as possible."
"They have no contact with those cubs in Mengla Village, don't worry."
How clear Xigu's mind is.
How can you not see through Ulo's thoughts.
"Yes, Qiuda."
Seeing that his mind was broken, Wu Luo's face couldn't help but turn red.
Siguqiuda is the Moba of the stockade, knowing everything and everything.
Since he has been so sure of chiseling.
Then these people must have nothing to do with Mengla Village.
Thinking of this, Ulo didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and quickly called everyone to build a pontoon bridge.
A group of young people moved extremely fast.
In less than a moment, a wooden bridge large enough for two horses to cross the Snake River.
Looked at.
Chen Yulou and his party did not hesitate at all, and quickly crossed the bridge.
A few words of chat.
Sigurus took them by the hand and walked towards the stockade.
"It's been a full 196 years, and no Han people have come here, let's go, I'll take you to the ancestral house to meet my grandfather."
It's 100 chapters, hehe, a small achievement
