Xiaoli was very interested in these two Han men who appeared in an unusually funny manner, and a pair of big eyes that looked deep because of the deep sunken eyes always glanced at them curiously, and asked Ah Ta something in a whisper, and Ah Ta would sometimes answer her directly in Luo Bu language, and sometimes ask Guo Jia with a smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Guo Jian's heart, a fart can jump out of eight lies, and it is naturally easy to deal with this scheming old man.

The village is in a poplar forest, a very quiet and beautiful small village, and basically all the houses are fenced walls made of red willow, thatched huts made of reeds, and the trunks of poplar trees support the four corners. If it is in the Central Plains, such a simple village will only make people feel poor, but here, it seems that this simple and natural village residence is the best building that is integrated with this natural environment, and it will only make people feel that kind of leisure, like heaven and earth.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a few children chasing and playing, a few chickens on the ground, cooing, and cows tied to the yards of some people's houses. From this point of view, in the understanding of outsiders, the Rob people did not eat grains or livestock, but only fished in small boats. Obviously, it's a bit of a myth, and although they eat fish as their staple food, there are still appropriate meat and other foods.

Seeing Atta and Xiaoli bring back two strangers, the children were curious to gather around to watch the excitement.

"Go, go, play!"

While coaxing the children, Ah Tao smiled at Guo Jia and said: "This is the village where we live, not far from our village, there is also a house, but it is used to entertain passing merchants, you can stay in my house first, and when there is a business trip back to the sandbank, I will tell you about it and ask them to bring you back!"

Ah Ta said this with good intentions, because even if Guo Jia and the others found someone they knew in the business trip from the sandbank, and borrowed two camels, they were lonely and had no guide, and it was extremely dangerous to return to the sandbank.

But Guo Jia was willing to wait until a business trip returned to the sandbank, and when he heard Ah Ta's introduction, he suddenly used his brain: "I should go and meet those businessmen, maybe I can return to the sandbank as soon as possible with their help!" Guo Jia has been observing the people in this village all the way, most of them have deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, and black and yellow hair. Further on, there were more adults, women drying fishing nets, and men cutting furniture from poplar wood...... Except for pots, almost all of the utensils they use in their daily life are made of poplar wood, so everyone learns to cut wood from an early age.

Look at these adult men and women, the clothes are also plain, but the appearance is very handsome, but the adult women are also very tall and strong, and the beauty of the Central Plains with a delicate body like a willow cannot be seen here. These adults were probably not as curious about these two strange Han guests as children because they often saw them in the past, and they greeted Ah Tao warmly, and some of them just asked casually, and no one came up to watch. Through the words and attitudes of these people, Guo Jia felt that this Ah Ta still had a very high status in this village. After walking a little further, Xiaoli's house arrived, and she politely said goodbye to the two guests, and Ah Ta smiled and translated the farewell words for her, and joked to her: "Remember, when I send off the trip from afar, I will go to your house to propose relatives." Xiaoli blushed and "escaped", and Ah Ta laughed and led Guo Jia and Xing Tian to continue walking. Ah Ta's home arrived, the same fence wall made of red willow, but his house is a very beautiful wooden house, compared to most people who only use reeds to tie up, in the Central Plains had to make firewood and grass houses The house is obviously more advanced, and the family background is indeed better than most people's homes. After entering the courtyard, Ah Tao stopped and asked Guo Jia and Xing Tian to enter the house. Guo Jiaxin said: "The guests are advanced, it must be a rule of the Luobu people." So he didn't ask much, just nodded politely to Ata, and stepped into the room. In the house, a wooden pit occupies nearly half of the area, with a thick blanket on it, a middle-aged woman is teasing a child who has just learned to crawl on the kang on the bed, and when she sees two strange Han guests coming in, she can't help but stand up in surprise, Ah Tao then walked in, and said a few words to her loudly, and the woman looked relieved, nodded and agreed to walk out. Ah Ta said to Guo Jia and Xing Tian: "You sit down first, I'll ask her to get you something to eat." Guo Jia and Xing Tian hurriedly thanked him, sat down on the side of the kang, and Ah Tao also sat down, and shouted to the little guy who was crawling around on the kang: "Come on, my Arslang, call Abba to hug!" The little guy smiled happily, dragging the shiny saliva to climb towards him, Ah Ta laughed and hugged his son in his arms, and talked to Guo Jia and the two, this time he asked more carefully, Guo Jia's answer was naturally flawless, Ah Ta had no wit, nodded again and again, and expressed sympathy for their suffering. After a while, the woman came up with two cups of tea, and listened to Ah Ta's introduction that this was his second wife, and the first wife went back to her mother's house to visit relatives, and her mother's family was in another village half a day's journey away, and that village was also built around this Luobu Lake. The lake is so big that it is like an ocean, and there are many such small farms around it. The two cups of tea are different from the tea leaves of the Central Plains, but Luobu hemp tea, the Luobu people live by water, wear Luobu hemp clothes, drink Luobu hemp tea, and eat Luobu hemp powder, this crop is their main life dependence in addition to fish. Although the taste of that tea is not as fragrant as the tea in the Central Plains, the Luobu people are healthy and especially live a long life, because they drink this tea made from Luobu hemp leaves and flowers all year round. Of course, Guo Jia and Xing Tian didn't know the miraculous effect of this Luobu tea, although they felt that the taste was worse, but this hot tea was a hundred times more delicious than the horse blood and ice water they drank all the way, and the two of them held the hot tea and chatted with the old man. Ah Ta's wife quickly cleaned up the fresh fish, found some dried red willow branches and roasted them, without any seasoning, and only sprinkled with a seasoning called puhuang when they were served after they were cooked. Then the milk was served, and a plate of pickled, crisp white rhizomes. Atta said that it is the rhizome of the reed, and it is plucked when it is just growing, and the white and tender part is extracted, which is very delicious. Guo Jia and Xing Tian thanked them again, and then opened their mouths to chew, the fish was roasted crispy and tender, although there was no oil and salt, but there was another kind of fish meat, two people gobbled up, there were three catties of fat fish, one person almost gnawed two, then put down the grilled fish, chewed the tender reed root and drank Luobu tea. At this time, before the meal, Atta was not hungry, but just smiled and watched them eat. When the two of them filled their stomachs, Ah Ta smiled and said: "My second boy went back to his mother's house with his mother, his house is empty, I will take you over in a while, let's live in the village first!" Guo Jia thanked him, and said: "Uncle Ah Ta, you said that there is a special place to receive merchants in front of you, and now there are some merchants from the sandbar living there, I don't know...... What kind of people are we, the two of us...... I also know a few business friends on the sandbank, maybe I can borrow their help and return to the sandbank!"

Ah Ta listened and said: "Ouch, I really don't know much about this, because the merchants often pass through here, so I have set up some houses and guest houses in front of me to entertain the guests, but the affairs over there have been handed over to my eldest son to take care of since the beginning of the previous year, and I just heard him mention in passing where the guests who live there now come from, and I don't know the details." From here, there has to be some way, let's catch up with Ming'er, Ming'er, I'll go and inquire for you, but ...... Young man, I advise you to live in the village first, you can escape from the hands of the horse thief, and cross the desert, good luck, but luck will not always be on your side, just the two of you, want to cross such a long desert wall back to the sandbank, it is too dangerous, without a guide who is familiar with the road, it is easy to get lost, starve to death, thirst to death in the desert, even if you know the road, people are lonely, and it is easy to run into horse thieves again. Guo Jia said: "Thank you uncle for reminding us, we don't have to leave right away, but if you really have any acquaintances, say hello in advance, and you can also have a response." Other than that...... When Uncle helps me inquire about the origin of those merchants, don't tell us ...... first" "Oh, why is that?" Uncle Ata was a little more vigilant, and Xing Tian smiled bitterly: "Uncle, we businessmen are not like the people here who are here, they have no quarrel with the world and are carefree. In the mall, we have friends and enemies, and some of them are really fighting to the death, if it is our enemy, although it will not fall into the ground, but let them laugh and laugh, but it is also ......" "Oh oh!" Ah Tao laughed heartily: "You people outside, that's right, when I went to the sandbank, your wealthy families and businessmen were indeed intrigued, so good, just rely on you, I will help you secretly inquire about the news!" As he spoke, he still winked at Guo Jia and Xing Tian with a childlike innocence, as if he thought it was a very interesting thing to sneak around like this. The two sides chatted for a while, and Ah Tao led the two to his second son's residence, which was also a wooden house, with red willow branches in front of it and a fence wall, and there was neither a bolt nor a lock on the door. Push open the courtyard door, and you can enter the house. When the sun set, a hunter came back from the village, it was Na Xiaoli's father and brother, they hunted a yellow sheep, the whole village was elated as if they had encountered a great happy event, Guo Jia and Xing Tian who were wandering around in the village were inexplicable, it seemed that in this quiet place, some very ordinary things can be celebrated as a big happy event. It was not until dinner that they understood why the whole village was so happy, because Xiaoli invited the whole village to taste the roast whole sheep together, and here, although the property was private, they still retained some of the habits of the primitive tribe to a large extent, and some good things were used to share with the villagers. In the square in the center of the village, the villagers worked together to pile up a pile of poplar branches, and when the branches were burned into charcoals, they dug a large hole in the middle, and then hollowed out the whole sheep, cut the miscellaneous pieces and buried them in it. Immediately afterwards, the people of the whole village brought all kinds of food, tables and chairs to hold a conference meal. The chairs are poplar mounds, the tables are larger poplar mounds, the cups, bowls, and dishes are all made of poplar wood, and the variety of food is actually lackluster, mainly fish of various preparations, and the drink is fresh milk. When the roast lamb was dug up, torn into pieces, and served on a wooden plate, and brought to everyone, the feast reached its climax, and some people played the dombra made of birch, and the girl in the dyed skirt danced to the music, and soon the men joined in, not only the young men, but also the old men with gray beards. Although Guo Jia and Xing Tian were brought back, they were dressed in rags like flowers, but they were still treated as guests by the simple villagers and sat on the chairman, Xing Tian looked at everything in front of him, and was infected by the happy emotions of the villagers, he sighed and said: "My lord, if the world is as peaceful and comfortable as this village, it would be good!"

"Perhaps!"

Guo Jia smiled, but his eyes were extremely clear: "Perhaps, this is a paradise on earth." But you only see their happy side, but you don't see the hardships of their life here. If they see the prosperity of the Central Plains, why won't they yearn for it? Everyone thinks that others are better off than themselves, but in fact, everyone has their own happiness and misfortune, and we have our own lives and responsibilities!"

Guo Jia turned his face, the blazing firelight reflected his face half bright and half dark, behind his shoulder, the firewood spark blown up by the wind flew in the night sky, as if it was a more distant existence than the stars in the sky, Guo Jia said word by word, very seriously: "We have what we are pursuing, whether it is difficulty or temptation, we can't stop it!"
