after leaving the highway, Yang Guo followed Xiong Jiwu for more than an hour on the mountain road before arriving at his Miao village.
This is not just a matter of time. The hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers in the middle are unimaginable to those who have not really walked through. In particular, the suspension bridge passing in the middle, which is staggering in the air hundreds of meters high, may fall off the cliff if you take a wrong step.
Yang Guo tightly hugged Qiqi with one hand, and he had to pull the iron rope with the other hand to walk past. Xiong Jiwu brought his luggage back and forth three times, while Jin was curled up in Yang Guo's schoolbag and dared not move.
The Miao village is hidden deep in the mountains. It is said that in order to escape the war, a group of Miao people settled here, but now it has become their bondage. On the one hand, it is the hometown of life and the foundation of ancestors, which cannot be abandoned. On the other hand, it is too remote to obtain the conditions for living in modern life.
The only place where Miaozhai can be in line with modern times is that it has electricity and telephone. Some relatives who work outside have brought back cheap functional mobile phones. But it seems to be decades behind here. Not to mention computers, there is not even a TV set.
Yang Guo followed Xiong Jiwu through the middle of the stockade and found that most of the people he could see were old people, women and children, but he was relieved after thinking about this problem a little.
Xiongjiwu's interpersonal relationship was fairly good in the stockade. The neighbors greeted him again, and Yang Guo nodded to them with a smile, but most Miao people looked at him with strange and fresh eyes.
"There are few outsiders here, so that's why we see you like this." Xiong Jiwu was also worried that Yang Guo was uncomfortable. He said to Yang Guo with apology. Yang Guo smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Approaching his home, Xiong Jiwu's expression became eager. He had been looking far away and wanted to see the familiar figure of his family.
"Uncle five! Have you found the money?" At this time, Xiong Jiwu met an acquaintance of the same clan, a niece of different generations of his age. Seeing Xiong Jiwu coming back, she rushed to the window with her child in her arms and asked in a rough voice.
"Not yet, but I may have met a noble man. Maybe there is a way!" Xiongjiwu said sadly, unable to see.
They spoke in Miao language. Yang Guo didn't learn it, so of course he couldn't understand it.
"Di bar!" I don't know if I heard Xiong Jiwu's voice. The door of Xiong Jiwu's family suddenly opened, and a clear voice like a lark came out.
Yang Guo looked up, and a small but beautiful little girl jumped out of the door and jumped at Xiong Jiwu with a worried face. The little girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, but the burden of life has made her every move have the mature appearance of a little adult.
This should be Xiong Xiaolin, the most outstanding eldest daughter in Xiong Jiwu's mind!
Xiongjiwu went out this time and experienced ups and downs. When he saw his daughter, his tears almost burst out again, but in front of his daughter, he had to make a steady posture of family support, so he just carried Yang Guo's sleeping bag, then put his arm around his daughter's head, and then took a deep breath to calm down his surging mood.
Yang Guo saw deep affection in Xiong Jiwu's eyes. Although Xiong Jiwu didn't know how to express, Yang Guo, who was also a girl's father, knew that it was all love!
After waiting for a while with a smile, Yang Guo saw Xiong Jiwu turn his head and took his daughter to introduce them: "Yang Guo, this is the eldest daughter I told you, xiongxiaolin. Xiaolin, this is uncle Yang Guo, please call uncle!"
Xiongxiaolin was a little wary at first when she saw Yang Guo, because although she was not old, she knew a lot of things. She had seen too many people in her own village or other nearby Miao villages who had to marry their daughters to others in exchange for rich betrothal gifts because their families were poor.
But hearing her father's introduction, and seeing the little pink and jade figure in Yang Guo's arms, her heart was slowly relieved. But even so, Xiong Xiaolin was still a little shy. She leaned against her father, smiled shyly, and greeted Yang Guo.
"Hello, Xiaolin, this is my uncle's daughter. Her name is Qiqi. Qiqi, you are also called sister!" Yang Guo took Qiqi's hand and laughed.
"Sister!" Although Qiqi is more shy than Xiong Xiaolin, her courage is always much greater in her father's arms! However, Yang Guo put her on the ground. She was timid again. She turned around, hugged her father's long legs and looked at each other timidly.
"Hello, sister Qiqi!" Xiongxiaolin hesitated for a moment. She came to Qiqi and extended a hand to her in a friendly way. Yang Guo saw a thin but delicate silver bracelet on Xiong Xiaolin's wrist, which was probably the only Miao jewelry on her body!
Don't think that Miao girls can perform like that on TV. Silver crowns, silver yoga, collars, shawls, necklaces, toothpicks, bun hairpins, earrings, bracelets, rings, all covered with silver jewelry, can blind people out of the house. In poor mountainous areas, let alone decorations, it is already very happy to have a beautiful embroidered pleated skirt! It's all on New Year's day.
Xiong Xiaolin's Mandarin is a little better than Xiong Jiwu's, but she still has a heavy accent. This is probably the education gap in remote areas!
Seeing xiongxiaolin's sister's kindness, Qiqi hesitated. She looked up at her father and saw his father nodding at her with a smile. Qiqi hesitated and put a white and tender hand in the palm of xiongxiaolin's hand, but she didn't dare to leave her father, and the other hand was still holding Yang Guo's trouser legs!
Yang Guo squatted down again with a smile. His hand reached into the bag behind him, gently pulled it, and pulled out the lazy dog gold that was lying in it and refused to come out. After the gold came out, he shook his body, and then ran to Qiqi to look around.
Yang Guo made the right choice. After the gold came out, xiongxiaolin and Qiqi were attracted by it. The two little girls seemed to have a common topic, and gradually began to talk to each other.
Xiongjiwu took Yang Guo and they walked into their small wooden building.
Xiong Jiwu's home is actually very large. The two-story wooden building adds up to hundreds of square meters, but the house here is of little value. And it seems that this small wooden building has a certain age, probably built by Xiong Jiwu's ancestors!
After Yang Guo went in, Xiong Jiwu was busy asking Yang Guo to sit down, and then made oil tea for Yang Guo. However, Yang Guo could see that Xiong Ji was absent-minded.
This inborn sick man's heart is all concerned about his sick wife in bed at the moment. If he didn't want to entertain Yang Guo, he would go straight to the bedroom as soon as he entered the door.
