Hou Jin and the others crossed the mountains and walked for most of the day before they finally walked out of the mountain, and at this time it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was getting late. Coming to the foot of the mountain, a large white river, against the backdrop of the setting sun, looks particularly dazzling, from time to time there are waves splashing, rippling layer by layer.

"This should be the Whitewater River. Hou Jin said.

"Brother Jin, how do you know?" asked Ying'er Jiaojiao.

Hou Jin pointed to the river and said, "Ying'er, look, this river is grayish-white. When I was a child, I read about the Whitewater River in a geography book. The Baishui River is a river formed by the melting glacial snow water of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, cascading down along the valley, the water is clear and dark green, because the riverbed is composed of sedimented limestone fragments, it is gray-white, and the clear spring flows through, it looks like a white river from a distance, hence the name. You can see that the river is crystal clear, and the bottom of the riverbed is gray-white pebbles, and the surface of the river looks gray, so I think this is the Whitewater River. ”

"Brother Jin, there seems to be a stone tablet in front, let's go up and take a look. Ying'er pointed to a distance of about a hundred paces ahead. Faintly, it seems to be a stone monument-like thing standing. So, the two quickly came to the stele, only to see the stele written on it: Baishui River. The three big characters with red tassels are particularly conspicuous.

Ying'er couldn't help but give Hou Jin a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Jin is really knowledgeable, how do you know so much?"

Hou Jin was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is nothing, people who read books generally know this." ”

"I'm so tired, brother. Ying'er took Juanxiu's handkerchief, wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, and said.

"Since this is the Baishui River, there should be a stockade in front of it, and it is mainly inhabited by Naxi people. Hou Jin replied.

"Brother Jin, what are the Naxi people?" Ying'er looked at Hou Jin with a look of curiosity and asked.

Hou Jin took Ying'er's hand and said as he walked: "Naxi people, they belong to the Naxi tribe, there are not many people, and they are mainly distributed in the territory. The Naxi people are hospitable, and whenever they return from hunting, all passers-by can get a share of the prey. When a guest visits, the host will prepare six or eight dishes for the hospitality. The Naxi men were dressed in much the same way as me. However, Naxi women dress differently from you, mainly wearing gowns, wide waists and large sleeves, plus shoulders, tied with pleated waists, long trousers, sheepskin shawls, decorated with beautifully embroidered seven stars, and decorated with the sun and moon on the side, indicating the meaning of hard work. Ninglang Naxi women wear long pleated skirts, short blouses, large green cloth buns, and large silver earrings. However, the Naxi people have taboos, they must dismount before riding to the village, and they cannot tie the horse to the place where they worship heaven, and they cannot step on the tripod or stilt their legs; Neither can you turn over the ashes in the stove, and when you worship heaven, your ancestors, or the god of war, you should not be seen by outsiders. Do not sit on the threshold and chop things on the threshold with a knife and axe. In some places, it is forbidden to sing mountain songs at home; it is forbidden to kill ploughing oxen, pack horses, and roosters that announce the dawn; it is forbidden to eat dog meat; when entering the Naxi family, it is forbidden to take the initiative to enter the old man's bedroom, the woman's bedroom, and the girl's "flower building" ......"

Along the way, Hou Jin introduced the Naxi people to Ying'er, and after a while, not far ahead, in the dense forest, there was indeed a stockade, which was scattered and chic.

The Naxi girl sings love songs, and the love songs are sung to her love brother...... From time to time, there are bursts of mountain songs, and the singing is crisp and pleasant.

Hou Jin and the others walked quickly to the front of the stockade, and a middle-aged strong man with a big beard stepped forward and asked, "Two distinguished guests, how are you?" It's just that this middle-aged uncle uses Naxi language, and Hou Jin and the others only hear a grunt, but they can't understand what is said. The middle-aged man realized that the two of them were from outside and couldn't understand their language, so he smiled and said in Chinese with a strong Naxi accent: "Two distinguished guests, where are you coming from? Where are you going?"

Hou Jin barely understood the middle-aged man's words, and gestured: "The two of us are from the top of Kunlun Mountain and want to go to the Central Plains. All the way over the mountains and mountains, such as today's color one night of hunger and cold, want to disturb the village, begging to spend the night. As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom and prepared to hand it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man shirked it and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since any guests from outside have come to us." Today, it is an honor for the two of us to come to our village, and we will entertain the two distinguished guests without giving silver. Please!", the middle-aged man made a gesture of please.

Hou Jin smiled: "In this way, there will be more uncles." Please. ”

Hou Jin and the others followed the middle-aged man, entered the village, and came to the middle-aged man's bamboo house. The middle-aged man shouted in Naxi language to the inner room: "Fat Jinmei, guests are here, go and prepare wine and food, tonight, I want to have a drink with the two distinguished guests." ”

"Hey, okay, Fat Brother Jin, you sit with the guest for a while, and you'll be fine right away. A female voice in the back room also replied in Naxi language.

Ying'er listened for a long time, and only understood Fat Jin Mei and Fat Jin Ge, so she asked Hou Jindao: "Brother Jin, what are Fat Jin and Fat Jin Mei?"

Without waiting for Hou Jin to answer, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "This beautiful girl, Fat Jin Brother and Fat Jin Mei are the names of each other between our Naxi husband and wife. ”

Ying'er realized this, and the three of them sat separately and chatted about the customs of the Naxi people. During the conversation, Hou Jin learned that the middle-aged man in front of him was called Yangyin Dugu, and Yangyin Dugu, and his wife was called Aleqiu, and Yangyin Dugu. Heba is the owner of this village, and the couple currently have no children and are preparing to have children.

While the three of them were talking, a middle-aged woman, holding a plate in her hand, walked out of the back room. The middle-aged woman was dressed similarly to what Hou Jin introduced to Ying'er, with wheat-colored skin, medium appearance, and a fat body. Ying'er muttered in a low voice: "If you are really a fat golden girl, and Uncle Ba, you are really a blessing." ”

Heba and his wife smiled heartily, and when they heard Ying'er say this, they couldn't help but be annoyed, but happy. What Ying'er doesn't know is that the aesthetics of the Naxi people are different from the Han people, and the Naxi people are black and fat as beautiful, so if you call them Fat Jin Mei, Fat Jin Ge, they think you are praising them for their beauty.

After a while, Aleqiu successively served eight dishes on the table, including pork, mutton, Dongba grilled fish, and a traditional delicacy on the Dongba Grilled Fish Tea Horse Road. There is a dish, Ying'er only saw chicken peas in the plate, red pepper, green leek, pepper, shallots, mustard, I don't know what the name of this dish is, but it looks delicious, and Ba explained: "This is chicken bean jelly, specially for the two distinguished guests." "And the ribs, but they look like they're pickled. Heba said: "This dish is a hot pot with pork ribs, dry and firm, yellow and red, shiny in color, no mildew on the surface, and a faint smell of meat." Beautiful girl, you smell it. Ying'er leaned over and sniffed it, and sure enough, as Heba said, she couldn't help but praise: "It seems, it must be delicious." ”

"yes. He Ba Yingdao, picked up the wine jar on the table again, poured three glasses of wine, raised one glass, and said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, please!"

Hou Jin also raised his glass and clinked glasses with Heba, but Ying'er never raised a glass, and her face was embarrassed. He Ba was puzzled and asked, "Beautiful girl, what's wrong?"

Ying'er said: "Uncle Heba, no." It's just that Ying'er doesn't drink. ”

He Bahaha smiled and said, "Beautiful girl, this is mare's milk wine, it's very delicious." It has the remarkable effect of dispelling cold and warming up, strengthening the stomach and opening the spleen, nourishing and nourishing, and treating rheumatism. It doesn't hurt the body, and it's sweet in the mouth. You try?"

Ying'er looked at Hou Jin, Hou Jin nodded, Ying'er picked up the wine glass, licked it, and it was really as Heba said, it tasted very good, and it was not as bitter and spicy as the wine they drank, and it was super unpleasant. "It's really delicious!" he said, raising his glass and drinking the wine.

Heba watched Ying'er drink it, showed a satisfied smile, and the three of them drank happily. Unconsciously, Ying'er's face was ruddy, white and red, and delicate. Ying'er felt lightheaded, and her head was a little dizzy, but she was still asking Heba to pour her wine, her mouth was slurred, and she didn't know what she was saying. Laughing with Bahaha, I admired this little girl who was too strong to drink.

Seeing this, Hou Jin said: "Uncle Heba, my sister is a little drunk, can you find a place to let my sister rest?" The heart of defense is indispensable.

Heba smiled: "No problem. Then he shouted to Alerqiu in the back room: "Fat golden girl, this beautiful guest is drunk, help her in to rest." ”

After a while, the middle-aged woman answered, came out of the back room, helped Ying'er up, and took her to her bedroom to sleep.

Then the two of them sat down again. Heba said: "Brother Hou, the amount of wine is good, and Heba appreciates it very much." Don't hide it, I hit it off with you at first sight, don't call me uncle, it seems to be raw, if you don't dislike it, just call me and Big Brother Ba. ”

Hou Jin said: "This ...... It's not good, you're much older than me, if you call you big brother, don't you know how to be polite?"

Heba waved his hand, disappreciated, and said with a smile: "Huh, we Naxi people don't come to your Han people's set." The Han people have too many red tape rituals and are too tired to live, and we Naxi people don't pay attention to these. ”

Hou Jin saw that what Heba said was very sincere, and it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so he had to cater to the host: "Brother Heba." ”

"Hey. That's right. Good man, you have to be so refreshing. Brother Hou, come, come, come, let's continue to drink. As he spoke, Heba poured Hou Jin a full bottle of wine.

The two raised their glasses and touched each other, drank them all, picked up chopsticks, and ate the meat in large pieces, exhaling with joy. It wasn't until the second half of the night that the two of them were very happy, and then they arranged a place for Hou Jin to rest, and it was over. The table was in a mess, and there were as many as seven empty wine jars, which showed that the two of them drank an astonishing amount of alcohol. After the two of them had rested, Heba's wife, Aleqiu, came out of the back room and cleaned up the table, which shows how industrious and considerate the Naxi women were.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Hou Jin got up early and practiced his sword in the village. The buzzing continued, and the Kaiyang Sword in Hou Jin's hand made a whirring sound, and the leaves on the ground scattered in all directions.

"Haha, Brother Hou, good swordsmanship, very subtle. Why don't we brothers have a fight?"

"It just so happens that the younger brother hasn't talked to anyone for a long time. I don't know how to talk to Brother Ba Wuyi? Hou Jin responded.

"Okay, refresh, come on. He Ba Ying said.

It's too late, it's too soon. But seeing that Heba rushed up with an arrow, holding a golden scimitar in his hand, the cold was pressing. He Ba raised the knife and quickly made the action of chopping, picking, and stabbing, a rough mining man, his movements were like taking off a rabbit, and he was very agile. The knife technique was opened and closed so vigorously that Hou Jin felt a little numb, and in an instant, the two of them fought for twenty moves. After all, although Hou Jin was slender, he was not as strong as Heba, and his strength was not as good as Heba. couldn't help but praise: "Brother Heba, good kung fu, little brother admires." ”

Heba smiled: "Brother Hou is not bad, his swordsmanship is good." I like it very much for my brother. He Ba and Hou Jin made twenty moves, but they also admired this young man. Heba is the number one warrior in this village, as powerful as an ox, and no man in the village can compare with him. But he didn't want Hou Jin to be such a tall and thin young man, but he could fight hard with him without falling behind, and he was very happy about his appetite, and said loudly: "Come again." ”

The two of them galloped in the village, you came and went, for a while, swords and swords, sparks splashed, shouting and cheering, fighting happily, cherishing each other.

Ying'er, who was asleep, was woken up by the sound of weapons colliding outside, yawned, sat up, listened attentively, and muttered, "It seems that someone is fighting outside." So early?"

At this time, Alerqiu came to the bed and smiled slightly: "Girl, are you awake?

Ying'er saw that the person who came was Heba's wife, so she said, "Thank you, aunt, for your hospitality." Ying'er was greedy for a cup yesterday and drank a little more, which made her aunt smile. ”

Alerqiu smiled: "Okay, okay." We Naxi people are the most hospitable. The girl is really handsome, you fat brother must love you very much, right?" Although Hou Jin said that Ying'er was his sister, but from Ying'er's eyes when she looked at Hou Jin, her veins were full of affection, where is this brother and sister, it is clearly a pair of lovers, Aleqiu has already seen it, but it is not broken, and now he said, and then he looked at Ying'er lowered her head, showing shyness, and smiled embarrassedly, which confirmed her opinion.

Seeing that Ying'er was embarrassed, Aleqiu diverted the topic: "Miss Ying'er, you are really good-sighted! Your fat brother Jin is not only handsome, but also so good at martial arts? My fat brother Jin is the number one warrior in the village, and no one in the village is his opponent. Your fat brother Jin is actually inseparable from Heba, amazing. To be able to marry such a wishful man, Miss Ying'er must be very happy. ”

Only then did Ying'er know that the sound of the fight outside was Hou Jin and Heba competing. Ying'er was shy and whispered: "Auntie, Brother Jin and I haven't officially married yet!"

Alerqiu smiled heartily and said, "This is nothing, sooner or later." They are men, they like to dance with knives and guns, fight and kill all day long, and like to drink. However, it is because they are so brave that they can protect us women. As he spoke, his face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. Hou Jin and Heba drank until late at night yesterday, and the seven jars of wine went down, but they were not drunk, it was really an amazing amount of alcohol, and Ying'er listened to it, and listened to Ying'er sometimes coquettishly, sometimes with her mouth open......

Ying'er got up, washed up briefly, groomed herself, and said, "Auntie, let's go, let's go see Uncle Heba." ”

"Okay, breakfast is ready, it's time to eat. ”

After that, the two walked out of the room and saw Hou Jin and He Ba fighting from a distance. When the two approached Hou Jin and Heba, the contest was over. The two fought for nearly 200 moves, after all, Heba relied on strength, cultivated external strength, and did not have internal support, in the end, the strength was exhausted, the physical strength was exhausted, and Hou Jin was defeated by the scimitar in his hand.

"Being able to fight 200 moves with Hou Jin, who has almost reached the first-class master of martial arts, with only brute force and skillful knife skills, shows that he is brave and extraordinary, and he is worthy of being the first warrior in the village. If he and Brother Ba have practiced the internal strength of the mind, they must also be a first-class martial arts master. It will not be easy for me to defeat him. Although Heba is rough, he is a good person, and he is a loyal and brave man. Before you leave today, teach him some internal skills, even if you repay him for his hospitality. Hou Jin thought in his heart.

"Haha, happy, happy. I think I and Ba are the first brave warriors in my village, and we have never had an opponent. I don't want to be now, Brother Hou is even more brave and extraordinary, and he respects his brother very much. He Ba kicked a few breaths, breathing heavily, and was not unhappy about losing to Hou Jin, but was very bold and praised Hou Jin without hesitation.

Hou Jin put away the Kaiyang sword, arched his hand to Heba, and said: "Nai and Brother Ba conceded, Hou Jin was lucky to win a move and a half, offended!"

"Brother Hou is strong in martial arts, and Ba Peifu, you don't have to be too modest!" He Ba waved his hand and said loudly.

"Brother Heba, when the younger brother of Fang Cai confronted you, I found that although Brother Heba was infinitely powerful, brave and extraordinary, and his sword skills were also exquisite, all he could do was external kung fu, but there was no internal force to support it. If you face someone with profound internal skills and equally superb sword skills, you will not be an opponent, and in this way, you will suffer a big loss. Hou Jin said.

"What Brother Hou said is true. The ancestors in our village were originally warriors on horses, and they practiced the foreign kung fu handed down from their ancestors. He Ba Ying said.

"That's it. Just think about the competition between the younger brother and the big brother. After all, the external force will be exhausted quickly, but after cultivating the internal strength, it is different, and it can be supported for a long time. Look at the little brother, his face is not red, and he is not panting. Hou Jin said.

Seeing that Hou Jin was indeed in good spirits and did not feel tired, and that he was breathing heavily and panting, he was convinced of Hou Jin's words and asked, "But there is no internal strength in my clan that can be cultivated." ”

Hou Jin smiled and said, "Brother Heba, thanks to the hospitality, I can't repay it." The younger brother has learned some internal cultivation methods, and he is willing to teach some to you, and he should be repaid. ”

When Heba heard this, he was overjoyed, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Hey, Brother Hou, what are you talking about? Now Brother Hou is willing to teach me, and I can't ask for it for my brother, and I am grateful! Since Brother Hou has passed on my martial arts, he is the master of me and Ba. Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. After that, Hopa will bow down to the master and apprentice. Whether it is the Naxi or the Han nationality, there are people who worship the teacher, and this will be the same at that time.

Hou Jin was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly held up Heba, and said urgently: "Brother Heba is serious, and the younger brother can't afford it." The younger brother also respects and respects Brother Ba's personality, and he is familiar at first sight. It's not uncommon to teach some internal skills to the eldest brother. Hou Jin's act created the first warrior of the entire Naxi tribe in the future, Yangyin Dugu Heba, led all the clansmen to rush out of the mountains, ended the secluded life, and restored the glory of the country and the ancestors of the past, which is not mentioned here for the time being.

At this time, Alerqiu interjected with a smile: "This distinguished guest, breakfast has been prepared. ”

He Bahaha smiled and took Hou Jin's hand: "Let's go, Brother Hou, let's continue drinking." ”

"Okay!" Hou Jin responded.

The two men laughed heartily and walked hand in hand, Ying'er and Aleqiu followed behind, looking at their respective lovers stupidly.

Coming to the living room, Aleqiu returned to the back room, and Hou Jin and the three of them came to the table and sat down separately.

Ying'er looked at the various foods on the table, her appetite was aroused, and she praised: "Wow, it's so hearty, it looks delicious." ”

He smiled with Bahaha and introduced the food on the table. There is flour to make baba, which is green and gray, with a little black spots. There is pork, made into pork belly, fat but not greasy. There is rice sausage, which is glutinous rice and pig's blood, which can be used as a dish or directly as a staple food. There are mustard and sauerkraut, which are eaten with poop. There are steamed white steamed buns and flower rolls, and there is a large bowl of milk tea, made with mare's milk. Of course, wine is also indispensable, and there are two jars of fine mare's milk on the table.

He Ba said to Hou Jin: "Brother Hou, Miss Ying'er, please, how about you come and taste the breakfast of our Naxi people?"

Ying'er's big delicate eyes bent into a crescent moon, and said, "Uncle Heba, then I'm welcome." After speaking, he picked up a piece of rice sausage with chopsticks, took a bite, and praised: "Well, delicious, delicious! Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, and if you have the opportunity, Ying'er will also learn from her aunt." ”

"yes, it's delicious. Come, have a drink. After that, He Ba poured three glasses of wine and handed one cup to Ying'er.

When Ying'er saw the wine glass, she immediately got up embarrassed and said, "Ying'er is not strong enough to drink, she was greedy for a cup last night, drank too much, and lost her temper." ”

He Ba Wenyan laughed and said: "Haha, Miss Ying'er is very cool, we don't have to be bad boys, and He Ba admires it very much." Come, have a drink. Brother Hou, a toast. With that, he raised his glass and stood up.

Seeing this, Hou Jin and the others also stood up, and the three wine glasses collided together, and with a bang, the three wine glasses turned upside down again, and there was not a drop of wine left.

"Okay, Brother Hou Jin, come again. The warbler girl is casual. Heba poured three more glasses of wine, drank with Hou Jin, and did not invite Ying'er to drink with him. Although Heba is rough, her mind is quite delicate, and she knows that Ying'er is just a delicate little girl, and she can't compare to the two old men, so she no longer forces Ying'er to drink.

Ying'er was clever and delicate, and when she saw Hou Jin in the morning that she wanted to teach the heart method of Hebanei, she ran to the back room after eating breakfast and wanted to learn cooking skills from Aleqiu.

But it was said that after Hou Jin and the others were full of wine and food, they came to the inner courtyard.

"Brother Heba, this is the mental method of "Qiankun Wuji Knife". Hou Jin took out a cheatbook from his bosom and handed it to Heba.

Heba took the cheats and said, "How should I practice this kung fu?"

"The so-called Qiankun is for heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, yin and yang! The so-called heaven and earth, there are 60 out of 300 insects, and people are long, and this Qiankun is also beautiful. The sun and the moon, Wu Chu is in the southeast, and Qiankun floats day and night. Yin and Yang are the ones who clash with each other, and everything in the world has the way of Yin and Yang. This internal strength method belongs to the cultivation of samurai who is suitable for making swords, and it can be said that it is specially tailored for Brother Heba. Hou Jin talked eloquently and talked about the secret of this internal strength method.

But Heba is just a martial artist, a big old man, a big character who doesn't know a loro, and listening to Hou Jin is also in the clouds, I don't know what to say. Only then did Hou Jin notice Heba's expression, and hurriedly waved his hand, embarrassed to break the position. So, he explained it to Heba in popular words, and Heba understood a thing or two. According to Hou Jin's professor, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to breathe......

Hou Jinwei taught Heba's "Qiankun Wuji Knife" internal exercises, and stayed in the village for a while longer. During this period, Ying'er also learned cooking skills with Aleqiu. Not to mention, this little girl really has a bit of talent for cooking, in just a few days, she learned to grill fish in Dongba, and the heat is just right, and the taste is no different from what Aleqiu makes. Hou Jinhe and Bazan were full of words.

After Heba got the hang of "Qiankun Wuji Knife" and could still cultivate on his own, Hou Jin and Ying'er resigned.

Heba and his wife sent Hou Jin and the two to the gate of the village, Hou Jin arched his hand and said: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, and Brother Ba, goodbye." Thank you sister-in-law for your hospitality. ”

He Ba was reluctant and said: "Brother Hou, we are like brothers at first sight." I can't wait to eat meat and drink wine with Brother Hou every day, that's what makes me happy. ”

Hou Jin said with a smile: "Brother Heba, the younger brother admires you very much, you are a loyal and brave man." If there is a chance, the younger brother will come to the eldest brother for a drink. ”

He Bayantian laughed and said, "Okay, let's make a decision." Wait for the Hou brothers to finish their work, and then come together again. ”

"It's a deal. Hou Jin responded. Two broad palms, clasped tightly together, cherished each other.

"Don't leave it at that, big brother and sister-in-law, please go back. Hou Jin arched his hand, took Ying'er's little hand, and walked into the distance.

"These two brothers and sisters, one is extraordinary, the other is as beautiful as a flower, if only they were a couple, it would be fine, but it's a pity that they are brother and sister!" looked at the backs of Hou Jin and the two of them, and sighed.

Aleqiu pinched Heba and said angrily: "My good brother, what a big boss, don't you see this?"

Heba was in pain, frowned, and said puzzledly: "Ah, why are you pinching me?

Aleqiu pursed his lips and smiled, "What brother and sister, this is a couple." ”

"Huh?" and Ba was taken aback when he heard this.

"Don't you see that the delicate Ying'er looks at Brother Hou? Where is the look of my sister looking at my brother? It is clearly the eyes of a beautiful woman looking at her beloved lover. It's like when we first met, I looked at you. Miss Ying'er has been learning cooking with me for the past few days, just to satisfy Brother Hou's stomach in the future. As he spoke, Alerqiu was embarrassed, and his voice became quieter and quieter.

"Haha, so good, very good! Talented and beautiful, born a natural pair, what a perfect match. Heba looked at the backs of Hou Jin and couldn't help but praise.

"Alright, alright, it's all gone. It's time for us to go back, too. Alechhoo said.

It wasn't until the backs of Hou Jin and Hou Jin changed from big to small, and finally became a black spot, which was completely invisible, so he took Aleqiu's hand and returned to the village......
