Chapter 1194

Although the leader of the dragon clan is expensive, he doesn't know what's going on in the Miao village now?

"Patriarch, you don't have to worry. I'll solve the problems here before I leave here."

When Xiao Chen said that, the Dragon leader was relieved.

Xiao Chen and sang, after Mo Xiaowan finished breakfast, Xiao Chen said, "patriarch, I want to go around Miao village. Is there any problem?"

"Of course."

If an outsider suddenly broke in here, it would be impossible to go around.

But now Xiao Chen is different.

Sang was originally a Miao people. He knew black Miao well and knew the dialect spoken here. Xiao Chen took sang and Mo Xiaowan and prepared to have a look at Xitang Miao village.

Most villagers of Xitang Miao village live together, that is, this dense stilted building.

The place where the patriarch lives is at the highest place, which is the feeling of a small mountain. The ancestral hall is in the middle, and other villagers of Miao village live around.

When Xiao Chen and her two daughters are walking in the Miao village, there is an alley between the stilted buildings in the Miao village. The alley is not very wide, at most about half a meter to one meter wide. You can walk or take some things. Moreover, when it rains, this alley is also a place for drainage.

However, if there is a fire, such a stilted building is most likely to burn in pieces, or even can't go at all.

However, the villagers of Miao village have lived like this for generations and seem to have been used to it for a long time.

"Sister sang, you said that the stilted buildings in Miao village are so close, aren't you afraid of fire?"

"I'm afraid. I must be afraid. So is the Miao village in my hometown."

Almost Miao areas, even Miao villages in Yunnan and Guizhou, are like this.

It looks good, and it's lively to live together.

As for the strong wind, I am not afraid, because there is no typhoon here, but the most afraid problem is cremation.

As for others, it is just to check and update a certain amount of building materials every year.

"Have you ever thought of living outside separately?"

"I don't think so."

In fact, there is another very important reason.

Miao, Yunnan and Guizhou, like these places where Miao people live, are places with few mountains and flat lands. Therefore, they have to live in this hillside, and the flat land may be used to grow crops.

Therefore, instead of other flat or hilly areas, families can live separately, and there is no need to worry about debris flow.

Here, there is no need to worry about debris flow on this hillside. The biggest problem is cremation.

After reading the stilted building, Xiao Chen found that almost all of them were inhabited.

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen came to a place.

It looks a little gloomy here.

Xiao Chen saw a Miao man living opposite and asked, "uncle, who lives here?"

This is naturally sang translating for Xiao Chen.

The Miao man knew that Xiao Chen was an expert of Jiuli gate, and the other party said, "Mr. Xiao, uncle long lives here."

Uncle long?

Who is this?

After the family opened the door, Xiao Chen went over and sat down inside. He learned that uncle long was over 60 years old. He was also a single, lonely old man. Usually, as the gatekeeper of the Miao Village ancestral hall, he lived in the ancestral hall and took care of the property of the ancestral hall. Usually, he didn't work any more. It was equivalent to relying on the villagers to support each other.

The gatekeeper of the ancestral hall?

In Xiao Chen's opinion, there are many taboos. After all, Xiao Chen himself knows these.

Like this kind of people, one is unmarried, the other is worthy of the villagers' respect, and the other is that they should be bold.

If you are a single old man, it should be more appropriate.

"Is uncle long there?"

"He lights incense in the ancestral hall every day."

Some incense?

Why didn't Xiao Chen see the gatekeeper when he went to the ancestral hall last night?

"Have you heard of the story of Uncle long?"

"I haven't heard much about it. He has always been alone. He rarely has contact with others except in the ancestral hall." Said the middle-aged Miao man.

"Thank you."

After thanking the middle-aged uncle of the Miao people, Xiao Chen came out of his house. Xiao Chen was ready to go to the ancestral hall again.

Take sang and Mo Xiaowan to the ancestral hall again.

Last night, Xiao Chen didn't look carefully. He just saw a small square. Inside the small square was a hall, and there were other small rooms next to the hall.

Among them, the hall is dedicated to the tokens of the ancestors of Miao village here.

At first, after the death of the old woman and long asheng in Miao village, they were carried here to do things, and then sent to the hillside for burial.

It can be said that this ancestral temple plays a very important role in the villagers of Xitang Miao village.

When Xiao Chen came here with Sang's two daughters, it was quiet now. In addition to the incense burning place outside, the smell of many sandalwood floated. Xiao Chen found that there were some differences between day and night.

When Xiao Chen went inside and was about to go in, he saw an old man in his sixties coming out.

"This is the Dragon ancestral hall. Outsiders can't go in."

The other party spoke a local dialect, which Xiao Chen couldn't understand.

But sang heard clearly.

"Xiao Chen, he said we were outsiders and couldn't go in."

It's normal that outsiders can't enter other people's ancestral halls.

However, as the Dragon leader said just now, he can walk around.

"Sir, the Dragon leader said, I can walk around the Miao village."

"Even if the Dragon leader says so." The old man still said that.

The three of Xiao Chen were blocked outside the door. However, Xiao Chen looked inside and found that there were indeed many spirit tablets in it, from high to low. Maybe after the death of the Miao village villagers who first lived here in that year, all but those who could not enter the ancestral hall came here.

The old man looked very stubborn and didn't let Xiao Chen go in.

In that case, Xiao Chen didn't go in again.

After he looked back, he felt more and more strange about the ancestral temple and the old man.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Xiao Chen took two women away from the stilted building and went to the mountain on the other side.

There are wild flowers and weeds here. If it weren't for the murder case this time, Xiao Chen really thought the scenery here was very good.

"Xiao Chen, how do I feel that the old man just looks strange?" Sang said.

Sang and Mo Xiaowan thought the old man was very strange.

As for Xiao Chen, let alone.

"It's not strange, but there must be a problem."

There must be a problem?

Are these things related to the old man?
