The woodcutter said that the cottage is not far away, it looks not far, it is just opposite, but it is far away. You have to go down from here all the way to the bottom of the valley and then climb up from the bottom. After climbing up, a large number of dense houses can be seen in the dim sky. Some have already started to turn on the lights. From the dotted lights, it can be seen that the whole cottage is built along the mountain, high and low, one by one, without half a gap.

"This village is so big!" Ume sighed.

"Of course, there is only such a big village within a radius of 100 miles. After the woodcutter finished speaking, he added mysteriously: "Even King Miao lives here, do you say it's a big deal?"

"And King Miao, can you see it?" said Wumei excitedly.

"If you stay in the village for a long time, you may see that there will be a happy event in the Miao village next month, and the daughter of the king of Miao will compete to recruit relatives. ”

It's a pity that we couldn't wait that long. Although Wumei likes to be lively, it is serious to help Mo Yan heal his legs, "When we come back, we will come to the village to play, okay?"

"Always welcome!"

Although it is a rural mountain, the roads and stairs in the village are all paved with stone slabs, which is exceptionally clean. The woodcutter led them up the stairs, and there were dogs in the village that barked wildly, and Umei was so frightened that she screamed and hid behind her father. The dark clouds threatened to beat the dogs, but the woodcutter hurriedly stopped them, and told them that although the Miao people were hospitable, they had a very strange temper. Hitting a dog depends on the owner's face, and hitting their dog is tantamount to disrespecting the owner, then he will not have a good face for you. Miao is straightforward, you are to his liking, the meat will be cut for you to eat if it doesn't hurt, but if it is provoked, it is also notoriously difficult.

During this time, some heard the dog barking out to stop it, and some greeted the woodcutter, "Brother Tao is just back". It turned out that the woodcutter's surname was Tao. His family lives in the middle of the cottage, which is a small bamboo building. Hearing him return, the door creaked open, and a young woman came out with a little girl of four or five years old.

"Daddy is back!" the little girl was crying out for joy to run towards her father, when she suddenly saw someone else, and shrank behind her mother, and tilted her little head to look at them curiously.

The young woman also seemed frightened, and was speechless.

"A few friends who were going to Yunnan from other places couldn't find a place to stay in the evening, so I happened to meet them and asked them to come and stay for one night. The woodcutter put down his burden and gave his daughter-in-law a brief explanation.

"Excuse me, sister-in-law. Ume greeted with a smile first.

The young woman hurriedly said, "Where, Welcome, Welcome, Please sit in the house." ”

As he spoke, let everyone into the house. The room is not big, but it is neatly clean, and things are boiling on the stove, and the smell is fragrant. The furnishings in the house are also unique. The beds, chairs, and tables are all made of bamboo.

The little girl had been hiding behind her mother, and she couldn't stop looking at Ume. Ume smiled at her and said, "Little sister, come to my sister." ”

The little girl looked at her mother and asked for advice.

"Go ahead, go play with my sister, and my mother cooks. The woman said. The woman was dressed in Miao costumes, with a well-proportioned figure, a marked face, and black and red skin, a sign that rural people often work in the fields.

With her mother's permission, the little girl boldly walked up to Ume.

Ume hugged her in front of her and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Tao Yao!"

"Tao Yao, Tao Yao, Tao Yao, Peach Yao, Scorching Qihua! What a name! Who gave it to you?" Mo Yan asked beside him.

"My daddy!"

The woodcutter came in with his hands washed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "It made the son laugh when he got up." ”

"There aren't many people like you among the Miao people who know poetry, right?" Mo Yan asked.

"Very little. I learned a little bit from my mother when I was a kid, and that's a long time ago. My father is a Miao person, but my mother is a Han person. The woodcutter said lightly, reluctant to say more, Mo Yan seemed to see some past stories from his expression.

The men blow the men, and Wumei and Xiao Tao Yao play hard.

Tao Yao looked at Wumei without blinking and said, "Sister, you are so good-looking." ”

Wumei was praised by her, and couldn't help blushing, "Tao Yao is also very good-looking, and she is also a big beauty when she grows up." As he spoke, he pulled out a golden hairpin inlaid with gems from his head and inserted it on Tao Yao's head and said, "Sister this hairpin is given to you, and you will look as good as your sister when you plug it in." ”

Tao Yao jumped with joy, her mother came over with the pot and saw it, and said repeatedly: "Girl, I can't help it! ”

Xiao Tao pouted reluctantly and didn't speak.

"I gave Tao Yao a small gift, what's wrong? I didn't bring much with me when I went out, did I dislike what I used?"

"I didn't mean that, it's just too precious, why be embarrassed?" the woman quickly explained.

"We're sorry to disturb you, my Mei'er gave the child a little gift, so don't shirk it. Dark clouds interjected.

"Okay, let's go with my sister, thank you soon!" said the woodcutter.

Xiao Taoyao got his father's permission to be happy again, and ran to Wumei: "Thank you, sister!"

"No thanks!" Ume pinched her little nose

..................

It's finally time to eat!

The woman took an iron pot and put it on the stove, spooned in what had been cooked on the fire, and put a long, narrow plank on top of the pot, and brought three bowls of food and laid them on the board. One bowl is peanuts, the other is cold grass roots, and the other bowl is chili, green onions, etc.

"What is this boiling? so fragrant?" Wu Mei stretched her neck to look at the pot, looking like a little gluttonous cat.

"This is an old hen stewed in gastrodia. The woman answered.

"This is gastrodia? No wonder there is a strange smell. Mo Yan also looked curiously at the milky white radish in the pot and said.

"Hasn't this boy ever eaten gastrodia?" asked the woodcutter.

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, let alone eaten it. Mo Yan said.

"It's no wonder that gastrodia is only available in Yunnan and Guizhou, and it needs a unique geographical environment and climatic conditions to grow, which is a good thing. The woodcutter said.

In this way, Mo Yan couldn't wait to try it.

"What is this?" asked Ume, looking at the bowl of grass on the board.

"This is a kind of ear root, a kind of grass root. It is also available in Yunnan and Guizhou. ”

"Is it delicious?"

"It's hard to say, those who can eat it will taste delicious, and those who can't eat it will find it difficult to swallow. ”

"I'll taste it!" Ume said, stretching out her slender fingers and grabbing one and putting it in her mouth, she just chewed it a few times, and quickly spit it on the ground, sticking out her tongue, "Spicy!" made everyone laugh.

"Sister, watch me eat. Xiao Tao Yao said that she also learned that she reached out and grabbed one and put it in her mouth, chewing it deliciously.

It turns out that this folded ear root is mixed with chili peppers, and the people of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan all have to put chili peppers in their cold dishes, how can Jiangnan people afford it?

"What is this?" asked Ume as she looked at the bowl in the middle with chili peppers and chopped green onions.

"This is a dip in water, and the chicken is dipped in it to taste. The woodcutter said.

"Don't dare to dip it, this pepper is afraid to look at. Ume shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll ask you to make a new bowl of chili peppers. ”

Everyone was talking and laughing here, but the bandit leader was sitting gloomy in the corner and didn't know what he was thinking.

"This brother, sit down and eat. The woodcutter beckoned to him.

He didn't open his mouth and didn't move.

Mo Yan looked at him, and suddenly a light appeared in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a flying knife shot at the bandit leader with white light.

Everyone didn't understand why Mo Yan suddenly made a move, didn't he say that he wouldn't kill him?

The woodcutter said that the cottage is not far away, it looks not far, it is just opposite, but it is far away. You have to go down from here all the way to the bottom of the valley and then climb up from the bottom. After climbing up, a large number of dense houses can be seen in the dim sky.

Dear friends, this chapter is a bit long, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 words, so I will disconnect it here first, and continue in the next chapter.
