Chapter 120 Three Teas

Village Chief Liu's Chinese is not a special standard, but Nie Yun and several people can barely understand it.

The dialects in many areas in the south are very different from those in the north. Northerners are not so easy to understand, and the Chinese in the Bai village in Dali also has a heavy accent, and it is normal that they don't understand it very well. Nie Yun and other people can barely understand the meaning of Mr. Liu's words, which is quite good.

The village head Liu comforted the boy, straightened up and looked at the mountains not far away.

"Oh..."

He shook his head, and the village head of Liu sighed.

I don't know how many times the black bear attacked the village this winter. Last night, the black bear attacked and killed a small buffalo in the boy's house. Fortunately, the villagers found it early and drove the black bear out of the village. However, the black bear did not steal food. It is hard to say whether he will continue to enter the village in the next few days... Nie Yun and others not far away also came this way under the leadership of Yang Xuening.

"Reporter Yang Da, do you know the Bai language? I can understand the old village head's shout just now. I really admire him!" As he walked, Liu Junwei also whispered a compliment to Yang Xuening.

"My father is originally from the Bai nationality. On my household registration book, the nationality column is also written by the Bai nationality. Is there anything strange about speaking Bai language?" Yang Xuening glanced at Liu Junwei and said in the same low voice.

Is this girl from the Bai nationality? Nie Yun couldn't help looking at Yang Xuening more, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be nothing special. The Bai people are the fifteenth largest ethnic group in China, with a population of nearly two million, and the Bai people are the best in various industries. Yang Xuening's father and the mayor of Lijiang are from the Bai nationality, which is really not a rare thing.

"Hello, Uncle Liu!" Walking behind the village head Liu, Yang Xuening said hello.

Hearing Yang Xuening's voice, Village Chief Liu subconsciously turned around and saw Yang Xuening. He couldn't help but brighten his eyes: "Reporter Yang, have you entered the mountain again?"

Yang Xuening nodded and introduced to the village head Liu and Nie Yun: "This is the village head of this village, Uncle Liu Mushui, this is my friend who went to the mountain with me this time, Zhuang Yawen, Nie Yun, Liu Junwei, and Nie Yun's girlfriend Tian Zhen, Liu Junwei's girlfriend Su Yi."

"Hello, hello!" Liu Mushui quickly and enthusiastically shook hands with Nie Yun and others.

"Reporter Yang, when you left last time, you said you would come back. We have been looking forward to it for a long time. Now you are looking forward to your reporter Yang. Let's go, go to my house for tea first!" Liu Mushui said while greeting Yang Xuening and Nie Yun.

"Uncle, that black bear is coming to the stockade again?" Yang Xuening did not follow Liu Mushui immediately, but asked Liu Mushui.

"Oh, for more than half a month, the blind bear has not stopped and has come to the village several times. Well, he bit a calf to death yesterday," Liu Mushui pointed to the little buffalo held by the boy. "The shotgun in the stockade has long been taken away, and the political axe is not allowed to hunt bears. Just chasing it like that, it won't go far at all..."

Liu Mushui said, and there was a lot of helplessness in his words.

Nie Yun took a look at the dead little buffalo and couldn't help frowning.

Although black bears are national second-class protected animals, they are all the most widely distributed beasts in China. Basically, wherever there are deep mountains and old forests, there must be black bears.

From Jilin in Heilongjiang in the north, to Yungui in the south, Guangxi, and even Taiwan, Inner Mongolia in the west and other places, wherever there are deep mountains and old forests, there must be black blind people.

Black bears are good at mutilation of livestock and poultry and destruction of farmland. Now there is a story about black bears breaking corn all over the country. This thing is not only about breaking corn, but also rushing into the cornfield, breaking one holding, walking two steps and breaking another, throwing away what was broken before, just breaking one by one and throwing it one by one, and finally holding a corn cob and going back, leaving behind. Pieces of corn cobs. Because these corn cobs were broken off before they were fully ripe. Naturally, it was a pity... When there was a shortage of food, this thing rushed into the village and caught livestock and poultry to eat, which was even more common.

The black bear in the northeast is better, at least it hibernates all the way in winter.

And many black bears in the south are just hibernating for a few days. They are active outside almost all winter, and attacks on villages are also common.

Even in some areas, black bears have hurt people!

"Uncle, how do you drive away black bears?" Hearing Liu Mushui's complaint, Nie Yun opened his mouth and asked Liu Mushui.

"How else can I drive away? When this thing entered the village at night and found it, it was enough to light a torch, knock on the gong, and drive it to the mountain forest. When you enter the mountain forest, you dare not go in again. This thing will run away when there are many people. If there are fewer people and go crazy, it will hurt people!" Liu Mushui said, sighed, took out a bamboo pipe cigarette bag from behind, and took two sips.

As the head of this village, Liu Mushui can't do nothing about the black bear.

You can't let it eat the livestock and poultry in the village, and you are afraid that it will hurt people. If you want to hunt it, you can't kill it. This black bear is big, without a shotgun, and ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt it. You can only be as careful as possible every night. Once you hear the black bear enter the village, the whole village will start together, beat the gongs and drums, raise torches, and "send" the black bear out of the village... " Nie Zi, what should I do? Why don't we help kill this black bear? I've only heard of the bear's paw for 20 years and haven't tasted it. Liu Junwei gave Nie Yun a look and whispered.

"You know how to eat!"

Before Nie Yun could speak, Yang Xuening next to him glanced at Liu Junwei first.

"What is the protection of animals? Can you not kill them or not?" After thinking about it, Nie Yun also said.

"Let's stay in the village for one night. Tomorrow, we will go to the mountain to look for this black bear. If we find it, just help the villagers drive it away. If this black bear doesn't want to leave, let it suffer a little. This thing is not a fool. It will run away when it is in danger. Nie Yun said.

"Well, let's do it!" Yang Xuening, who was beside him, also nodded and said.

"Uncle, my friends came here to help everyone deal with this black bear. Tomorrow we will go into the mountain and drive the black bear away. Uncle, can you find a family to stay for us in the village for one night? Several people discussed it, and Yang Xuening said to Liu Mushui.

"Find a place to live..." Liu Mushui glanced at Nie Yun and others and frowned. The houses in the village are basically in the style of three attic rooms. It's good to have two or three beds in a family. It's really difficult to find a place where you can live with Nie Yun and six other people. The only place where so many people can live is the livestock pen under the attic, but it's really not the same thing to let Nie Yun and others live in that place... "Uncle, just find an empty room. We all have sleeping bags and sleep in sleeping bags. Of course, we don't stay for nothing for one night, and we will give you some rewards. Nie Yun saw that Liu Mushui was a little embarrassed, so he said.

Hearing Nie Yun mention the reward, Liu Mushui's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

"Why don't you... live in Yang Liqiang's house? His daughter just got married a few years ago, and there is an empty house. Let Xiaohai squeeze in with his parents, and he can vacate two houses for you!" Liu Mushui said, turned around and said to the boy holding the little buffalo, "Xiao Hai, there are guests at home. Why don't you go back and clean up!"

Obviously, the Yang Liqiang family mentioned by Liu Mushui is the boy's family.

Although the language of the Bai people is Bai language, the characters are Chinese characters, and the names of the Bai people are similar to those of the Han people.

Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been many people of the Bai people surnamed Liu, Yang, Dong, Li and Zhang, which are recorded in history books. The family name recommended by Liu Mushui to Nie Yun and others is Yang, and Yang Xuening is also a family.

The boy, Yang Xiaohai, looked up at Nie Yun and others a few times, wiped his tears, and finally put down the body of the little buffalo and ran home quickly. Liu Mushui and the black and thin man standing next to him said a few words in plain words. The black and thin man looked at Nie Yun and others and immediately showed a simple smile.

The black and thin man, that is, Yang Liqiang and Nie Yun, said a few words in plain language, as if to welcome Nie Yun and others, and Yang Xuening also responded in plain language.

"Okay, let's go home with Brother Yang first. Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Yang Xuening said and thanked Liu Mushui again.

"Ha ha, it's not troublesome. You can call me again if you need anything!" Liu Mushui said.

It was getting dark, and Liu Mushui left with a copper gong. Nie Yun and others also followed Yang Liqiang home. Yang Liqiang's mother-in-law and Yang Xiaohai had been waiting at home for a long time. Seeing Nie Yun and others passing by, Yang Liqiang's mother-in-law also smiled and was busy cooking tea and entertaining Nie Yun and others.

Bai people have good tea, and tea is naturally indispensable for hospitality.

Back home, Yang Liqiang immediately took some green tea and baked it in the sand jar. However, for a moment, the green tea in the sand jar had turned yellow, and the fragrance of the tea came out. Yang Liqiang hurriedly flushed a little boiling water into the sand jar. After about a while, he filled the water in the sand jar and burned it for a while. The strong fragrance of tea had already drifted out... Nie Yun and others had already placed a small tea cup in front of him. Yang Liqiang picked up the sand jar and rushed the tea for several people.

"This is the most distinctive tea ceremony of the Bai nationality, called three teas, and this is the first tea, called bitter tea." Yang Xuening said and bowed slightly to Yang Liqiang, "Navi you!"

"Navi you!" Nie Yun also learned from Yang Xuening and thanked Yang Liqiang in white words.

The tea in the teacup was amber and fragrant, but Nie Yun knew that the first tea was "bitter tea", which was probably worthy of the name, so he carefully took a sip.

However, Liu Junwei, who was beside him, didn't care so much. He directly picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in the teacup. Then the next moment, Liu Junwei's face immediately became ugly...
