Chapter 189 Play
Xiaoqiong heard that Xiao Dongba, who guarded the garden, would read the "Leng Yan Jing", which could subdue the demons and monsters. She understood that as long as this little Dongba was together with Erhei, he could ensure the safety of Erhei. She was secretly happy and nodded happily and agreed to his request. She took him to Lugu Lake to play together. She made an appointment to do what should be done tomorrow. After that, I left and tried not to let others know. Xiaoqiong and Erhei were temporarily boarding, and no one would come to restrain them, but it was too eye-catching to go.
Xiao Dongba came up with a way. He came out of the garden in the backyard and just went around a little. However, as soon as he said what he thought, the three of them didn't mind. The next morning, Xiaoqiong and Erhei got up. After washing up, he took the little Dongba who was looking for a look at the garden. He got up earlier than anyone else today and watered the water in the garden. Everything was done. The three of them went around the garden in the backyard according to the agreed place, but no one found it.
When she arrived at Lijiang Passenger Station, Xiaoqiong bought a ticket to Ninglang County. It was still about 100 kilometers away from Lijiang. She saw that she didn't have time to have breakfast. She quickly bought a few Lijiang dumping rice cake and some snacks to take to the car to eat. Xiaodongba and Erhei got on the bus as happy as birds just flew out of the cage. After finding a seat, just in a row, the three of them sat down. Xiaoqiong gave them breakfast and some snacks to eat. While eating, they looked at the scenery outside the window, which was extremely happy. By noon, the three of them arrived at Lugu Lake. The sky was blue, and the water of the lake was set off by the sky.
There are five small islands in the lake, three peninsulas and one seawall island. The shapes are different. The trees are lush and picturesque. In the water and sky are the same color, as clear as a mirror, and the algae flowers are dotted. The pig trough boat slowly glides on the blue waves and the Mosuo folk song between the slowly floating dry water sky, which makes it a little more simple. It is a virgin lake that is far away from the hustle and hustle and unpolluted. It is like a huge white pearl embedded in the southwest of the motherland. The three are fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
The picturesque and beautiful scenery makes it difficult for the three people not to turn their eyes to this mysterious land. From a bird's eye view from a height, such as a winged swallow, and in the northwest of the lake, the majestic Gem Mountain stands majestic. This is the personified goddess of Gem worshipped by the Mosuo people. The southeast and south of the lake is connected to the sea of grass. Here The grass is abundant, the cattle and sheep are fat and beautiful, the dense reeds in the shallow sea ripple with the wind, and the flowers and plants flutter in the wind. Every winter, tens of thousands of rare migratory birds such as swans and black-necked cranes inhabit here, adding a kind of vitality and a kind of scenery.
In the dense primitive forest, leopards, leopards, deer, deer, sheep, red pandas, short-tailed monkeys, impalas and other rare animals are infested, giving people a little fear. There are several interesting lakes on the lake, the landscape, the countryside is full of hectares, the sunrise, the sunset is sunset, the houses built of wood, and the smoke is curling. Here, everything is It is so magical, so simple, every etiquette, every custom, all full of a little mystery, a little romance, a little poetry, a little painting, thus giving people reverie and memories.
Xiaoqiong and the three of them sat on the pig trough boat floating in the distance, surrounded by the mountains. The mountain is fairy-like, and the island of Zhouwan is hidden or present. The shore of the lake is tortuous and graceful, stretching, and countless large and small alluvial fan tables are made of open beaches, providing a natural place for tourists to rest and play.
On the back mountain of the three villages in the southeast of the lake, there is a secluded valley winding down the clear spring here. The small and exquisite Bodhisattva cave is hidden in this valley. It allows tourists to avoid the shade and enjoy the scenery of the valley. The three of them swim to the sea of grass. There are a variety of aquatic plants here. Birds of rare birds, fish, shrimps, shellfish, snails, frogs, reeds in the grass sea are like walls, and the waterways are intertwined. The Mosuo girl in red and white skirts rowed the pig trough boat, and the melodious folk songs echoed in the water and grass.
This freedom and this freedom made the three people intoxicated, and they were also infatuated. Then, the three of them swam to the lover's castle in the collapsed lake bay, Dazu Lake Bay, Anna Island, etc., so that the three people could play comfortably. At dusk, the three came to a small falling wooden village under the goddess mountain, which was the oldest Mosuo tribe. One of the old villages.
There are ancient residential buildings, original Mosuo folk customs, which have been preserved so far. The grass is dense, and the fish and shrimps are abundant. It is the habitat of water birds in Pingba District. Hundreds of birds fly, people walk by the water, birds are not shocked, people and nature, and live in harmony. There are only dozens of families in the village of Xiaoluoshui Village. The tourism industry is underdeveloped, and there are very few. The footprints of tourists are only those donkey friends who walk around the lake with heavy bags on their backs. Occasionally, they come to the village head of the lake, take photos, drink and chat.
Xiaoqiong thinks that this is a forgotten paradise on earth, which has a more original ecological feeling than anywhere else in Lijiang. There is very little arable land in Xiaomushui Village. Only some corn and potatoes can be grown. Every family raises livestock and fishes. The three of them saw that it was late and boarded in a villager's house. This family is The well-dry wooden corrugated house made of square wood is made of wooden boards as tiles. Each piece is about 1 meter long and 0.26 meters wide.
The internal structure is characterized by the family in order to adapt to its matrilineal principle. It is a quadrangle courtyard. The main room where the fire pond is located is located. It is the center of the whole family. It is covered with wooden boards. It is a place for the family to concentrate on food, deliberation, sacrifice and accommodation for the elderly and children. Therefore, its structure is more complex. There is a wall behind the house, which goes straight to the backyard. When separated There are two rooms inside and outside, which store grain and meat, and serve as the living room for the elderly; the left side of the main room is the housewife's room and stores valuables; on the right side, there is a large stove for cooking pig food, roasting wine, and setting up stone mills, stone breaks, etc.
There is a high stove in the middle room of the main room, and there are wooden boards on both sides for people to sleep. There is a god called "suo tuo" in the corner of the stove, on which there are statues, vases and offerings. There is a fire pond under the high stove, and there is a pot stone and platform. On the wall, there are images drawn from clay or hard paper. There are sun and moon stars, flames, conch, gold and silver ingots, etc., that is, the Kitchen God. Three meals a day are routinely sacrificed. On both sides of the fire pond are covered with wooden floors. On the right is the main seat, and on the left is the guest seat, which cannot be shared. There are two large pillars in the room, the male pillar on the left and the female pillar on the right. Mosuo people must use a tree when cutting these two pillars. The top section is the left column, and the bottom section is the right column, which symbolizes that the male and female pillars are born with the same root, the same foundation, and unity. The most important thing is that the family looks simple and hospitable, and they are also very enthusiastic about the three people. I brought my own brewed marsh, pork and dried grilled fish to entertain the three people.
Xiaoqiong saw that the crisp marsley wine was slightly orange, and it smelled very fragrant. According to the owner, Crisley was a good wine brewed by the Mosuo people's traditional craft. The brewing method is to mix a variety of grains such as barley, barley, wheat, buckwheat, corn, millet, etc., cook and dry it in a large pot, and serve it with a pot flavor. Cool it inside, mix it with the self-picked wine and medicine, put it in the fermenter day card, put it in the room for fermentation, wait for the wine to spread, and then put it into the wine jar to seal. It can be unsealed in about ten days, mixed into the mountain spring water, and later use the open curved bamboo tube to suck out the wine juice, and you can drink it. This wine is low, mellow, and rich in amino acids. , vitamins and carbohydrates, known as Mosuo Beer, can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. There is also a kind of wine called Dangdang wine, which is not high in degree and tastes excellent. Because it is said that many people don't feel anything when they drink it. After drinking it, they will "sud" and plant there. Xiaoqiong does not dare to let Erhei and Xiao Dongba "sangdang" in Here it is. I dare not let the owner bring it.
Pig fat is also called pipa meat. Pig fat is marinated with a unique process after slaughtering the pig. The production method is to remove the whole skeleton except the pig's skull, apply various seasonings inside, then sew it, press it into a pipa shape, and marinate it in winter. After making it, it can be put it for several years. It does not rot, but can be used medicinally for a long time. Because of its unique processing and rich spices, it tastes oily but not greasy. It tastes delicious and is extremely nutritious. It is a delicacy for Pumi and Mosuo people to give gifts and guests.
Roast fish is made from a kind of fish called Bayu produced in Lugu Lake. Cut the fish or cut the abdomen into a small bite, take out the internal organs, sprinkle salt, Sichuan pepper and five-spice powder, and slowly bake it on a fire pond or in an iron pot. When eating, roast the dried fish on a charcoal fire or deep-fry it with clear oil. It tastes crispy and delicious. It is directly served with wine. Sacrifice, used to cook the soup, the milky white soup has a strong fragrance, excellent taste, and is rich in nutrition.
Xiaoqiong found that the Mosuo people's diet here, whether it is a staple food or a side food, has a unique flavor. It uses mountain spring water, fragrant grass, nuts, and grains as seasonings. After artificial self-brewing, self-pickling, self-roasting, self-cooking, it is placed in the altar, put on the fire, in the pot for a few days, and for several months until a few years. Guests from afar come to taste it, eat while watching the scenery, and listen to the host tell a story that was circulating at that time:
It is said that in a distant era, this was once a village. There was an orphan in the village who went to Lion Mountain to graze every day. As long as people gave him cattle and sheep, he always kept the cattle and sheep fat and strong. One day, he fell asleep under a tree on the mountain and dreamed of a big fish saying to him, "Good boy, you are so pitiful. From now on, you don't have to bring lunch, just cut my meat and eat it!" When the child woke up, he went to the mountain to look for it. Finally, he found the big fish in a cave. He cut off a piece and cooked it. The fish was delicious.
The next day, he went again, and the place he cut yesterday was full of meat. This was known by a greedy man in the village. He wanted to occupy the big fish, so he asked some greedy people to tie the fish with ropes and let nine horses and nine cows pull together. The fish was pulled out of the hole, and disaster came. From that hole, the flood gushed out and flooded the village in an instant. At that time, there was a Mosuo girl. People were feeding pigs, and two young children were playing beside them. When the mother saw the flood rushing, she was anxious and took the two children into the pig trough, but she was buried at the bottom of the water. The two children sat in the trough and endured water drifting. Later, they became the ancestors of this place. In order to commemorate the great mother, people took the whole piece of wood to make it. As a pig trough boat, Lugu Lake is also known as Mother Lake.
The three of them listened and felt a little in their hearts.
