Chapter 32 The Paradise

After Xiaoqiong finished all this, she felt safe. Then she pulled Erhei to the front of the old man's house yesterday. Seeing that the old man had looked up at the door, as soon as she saw the two of them, she grinned, smiled at an old walnut skin-like face, and hurriedly said, "Girl, you--come on, come on. Come in and sit down. You're tired of walking. Let's see how hot you are!"

The old man greeted her into the room like a god. Xiaoqiong saw that there was some food on the table in his main room, including roasted hundred fruits, pecans, wild hawthorns, small bananas and other snacks. The old man first pressed her on the chair, poured two cups of water, and then picked up a small banana and handed it to Xiaoqiong and Erhei, "Girl, come on, You eat!" After saying that, the old man fanned Xiaoqiong with a homemade bamboo fan. The old man's enthusiasm made Xiaoqiong extremely unnatural. He quickly said, "Dad, don't have to be busy. Sit down and talk with us for a while!"

Erhei ate the banana, picked up the little toys carved by the old man and looked at it. He put on a hat for a while, and put on a mask for a while. He didn't know if the mask was worn back. For a while, there was a flat basket on his head. He was so happy that it was like a child's New Year. The old man looked at it and laughed. It's a straight cough------.

Xiaoqiong also let Erhei be happy. She put the food she had prepared on the old man's table, and poured him a glass of wine made by himself for him to pay for it. The old man raised the cup and drank it. He took a sip first, and then said, "That's good, it's good!" and finished it again.

When Xiaoqiong saw that the old man loved to drink, she gave him another cup. The old man raised it up and drank it all. When Xiaoqiong saw that the old man was so good at drinking, she was afraid that he would be drunk. She couldn't hear the old man talking about the god in the village, so she didn't dare to pour it down again. Instead, she poured out a bag of fried bee eggs on a plate and put it on the old man's face. Before, let him pay for it!

The old man saw this in his eyes. There was light in his eyes. He put it in his mouth and chewed it twice and said, "Well, it's delicious, delicious and fragrant. I still ate it when I was a child. At that time, I felt the same taste as the bamboo worm in the stockade, but now it's much better than the bamboo worm!"

Xiaoqiong laughed and said, "Dad, eat more if it's delicious. I'll get you some dishes. If you feel stuffy, teach me how to make baskets and carve masks!"

The old man said with a smile, "Well, you go!"

Xiaoqiong went to the old man's kitchen. When the old man saw that Erhei liked it so much, he thought to himself that as long as he taught him, he was worried that the two would not come to see him in the future. He happily took out the carving tools and taught Erhei to carve----.

Xiaoqiong washed the mushrooms she brought with well water, half boiled into soup, half stir-fried with green peppers, and went to the old man's yard to get two fresh vegetables, washed them, stir-fried them, carried them into the house, and let the old man and Erhei eat. Erhei happily held up a mask and said, "Qionne, Joan, look, I-carved !".

Xiaoqiong took it and saw that it was a Guan Gong mask. Although it was not exquisitely carved, it was a little similar. She was very happy and said to Erhei, "Erhei, why don't you call the master!"

Erhei shouted obediently, "Master, master!" He made the old man happy and his mouth grinned. He "squeaked" a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of vegetables. Xiaoqiong saw that it was almost the same and asked about yesterday's incident, but outside the door and heard a strange cry. Xiaoqiong was faintly shocked. What, I was guessing whether the cry would be---. I suddenly saw the mei'er stretching out her head and looking at me. I thought, it was broken. My father-in-law drank so much wine, and now he ran to the village to run around. What should I do?

Thinking about it, the old man was suddenly shocked: "What's the sound of the outer door?"

Xiaoqiong quickly said, "Dad, why didn't I hear it? I think it's your ear. Besides, with an apprentice like you, I promise not to let you get hurt a little. Erhei, you drink with Dad first, and I'll go out to have a look and come back!"

Erhei answered. Xiaoqiong gave each of them a cup and went out. The old man calmed down and continued to drink. But when Xiaoqiong came to the door, she saw Erhei's father, who had arrived at the door. Behind him were the husi'er and the old wolf. The two were looking inside, and Erhei's father had a big s mouth a large sip of wine. The gas spewed out and saw that she was still crooked and said, "Xiaoqiong, where is this? Why haven't I seen it?"

Xiaoqiong thought that you had never seen this before. He wanted to take you out to see it, but you were drunk. However, he instinctively turned his head and looked at it, but he was afraid that the old man in the room would hear it. He scared him and wanted to cover his father-in-law's mouth, but his father-in-law was very tall and could not be as anxious as Erhei. .

At this time, both the old man and Erhei came over. The old man suddenly saw a person like his apprentice. He opened his mouth wide and was stunned. He didn't know what was going on. At this time, Erhei shouted straightly, "Dad, why are you here?"

When the old man heard this, he said strangely, "What--he's your father? Why don't I look at it? Why--I can't see the old look, but it looks like two brothers!"

Xiaoqiong felt that the old man was a little suspicious and simply said, "Oh, Dad, the customs are different in different places. We call our brothers Dad everywhere!"

The old man whispered, "Why is there such a custom at the foot of the mountain? I've never heard of it!"

Xiaoqiong said, "Dad, there are so many strange things in the world. Let's go in and continue to drink!"

As soon as the old man thought about it, he thought it was right. He quickly welcomed Erhei's father into the room and poured him wine in person. The three of them drank a glass, and I continued to drink it. Erhei and his father were happy. He reached out and grabbed vegetables to eat. Xiaoqiong was so scared that she didn't know what to do, but she found that the old man also drank too much and learned from them and stretched out his hand. Just grab vegetables and eat.

Xiaoqiong saw that the three people on the table were drunk and crawled on the table and fell asleep. Under the table, there were old wolves and children grabbing things on the table from time to time to eat and steal wine. Only she still understood that it was all about the wine. She wanted the old man to talk about the new village god, but now they are also soaked. Soup--.

Fortunately, the goddess didn't go back tonight. When they woke up, it was not too late to go back slowly. Seeing that the three of them were drunk, they couldn't wake up for a while. When they stayed alone, they were bored. They wanted to walk around the vicinity of the village, but they were afraid that they would be found by the gods or the people in the cottage. On second thought about it, they felt that the trees in the village. There are many. As long as you hear the sound, you can hide behind any tree. The idea has been made. Seeing that the dragon and the old wolf didn't drink too much, they were not allowed to drink any more. They wanted to take them with them. The two wagged their tails and agreed. Xiaoqiong went outside the house and closed the door. She was a little worried that someone would break in. The door was locked again, and he was still a little worried. Finally, he simply asked the old wolf to stay and guard the three people from coming in.

Only then did Xiaoqiong feel relieved to take her to a secluded place in the cottage. The village doesn't look big in the distance, but it can be placed in it. It still feels very big. There are many vegetation here, many of which are wild. Some plants Xiaoqiong can be called by name, and some can't be called by name. It's like a wild banana tree. There are a lot of wild bananas and olive threshold trees on the tree. Guessing that the olive threshold oil in the cave may have been brought back after processing. There are also some grapefruit trees and hawthorn trees in the cottage. Xiaoqiong looked at these trees and couldn't help picking two wild bananas first, giving them one to the horse. She left one for herself and peeled them. , put it in her mouth to pay for it, and it felt very fragrant. Xiaoqiong secretly picked some and put it in her backpack.

There are farmland, fish ponds, etc. around the stockade. At least you can see a very small farm and a simple crop processing field, that is, there is no factory with black smoke. However, these places are not guarded. Otherwise, Xiaoqiong knows that as long as she approaches, she will not know where a dog will rush out and bark at you, and then go Inside, Xiaoqiong can also see people selling wine, ironware, embroidery and wax-dyed cloth, clothes, all of which are necessities of life. She also saw a large room in which a Yi woman was leading dozens of children to play in. Xiaoqiong guessed that it might be a school building or something like that.

When Xiaoqiong saw these, she thought that this village was a self-sufficient and harmonious cottage with hundreds of birds singing. It actually had a feeling of a paradise. The village here has lived in this land for generations, giving birth to children, and inheriting the generations. Only then did they create a strong Yi local culture here. There is no There is a trace of the traces and breath of the city.

Xiaoqiong walked a long way from the hidden hiding place and came to a square as big as a football field. There were three or four hundred strong young men and women gathered here, as if they were doing some activity ceremony. She was shocked that she hadn't met anyone for half a day. It turned out that they were all gathered here, but suddenly saw a person - Godmother, only Seeing that she was standing at the highest place, holding a magic weapon in one hand and shaking it at a high place, and the other hand was still doing some strange movements, saying something in her mouth. There was a group of people below. The goddess came forward to make an action, and they made an action below. These movements were also from slow to fast. In the end, it seemed to be **------ .

Xiaoqiong was shocked by this kind of ceremony and stunned. She was stunned. She didn't know whether to respect or despise it. However, it is what Xiaoqiong has learned from school, books and TV since she was a child to respect the customs and habits of all ethnic groups and save differences. She is also guessing that the goddess may be leading everyone to the ceremony to invite the gods.
