I live in Miao Village

"Mr. Xue, you saved my son, you unraveled the extremely powerful red baby Gu, and you saved a whole village of people. You should be worshiped by us." Jin Ge's father led everyone to kneel on the ground, with a reverent tone Said: "You are our Gu girl, please also bless us and keep the whole village safe."

"This...what is this all about?" Seeing everyone kneeling down, Xue Yi knelt down, and wanted to ask the village head for help, but unexpectedly found that the village head was also kneeling, thinking what a big deal this was, and hurriedly helped him up. The village chief and Brother Jin's father went to help Grandma Jin and Aunt Zhenhua.

"Don't be like this, everyone. I really don't know witchcraft. I just read the relevant books and brought the medicine that can cure the disease. Get up quickly. If you continue to behave like this, I can only kneel for as long as you can. How long."

Everyone saw Xue Yi like this, so they got up.

Miao voodoo Gu is also Gu and healer, it can save people and also harm people, but Gu girls are often moody, hurt people when they are angry, and save people when they are happy, it all depends on the mood of the girl, so people respect and fear the girl .

Today, Xue Yiyi unraveled the baby voodoo, saved Jin Ge Chengwen, and made Granny Qiao feel ashamed. Everyone admired her so much, whether they were grateful, afraid, or begging her for blessings, they all felt that they should say goodbye .

Xue Yi had no choice but to take advantage of everyone's superstitious belief in her, and asked everyone to come over one by one and let her spray the disinfectant mist before letting everyone leave.

Fearing that the sprinkling of quicklime was too little to completely kill the puffing bacteria, Xue Yi asked someone to find more quicklime and sprinkled it to a thickness of five centimeters. , and then covered it with a thick layer of quicklime, vowing to drive out the puffing bacteria, and then left.

Cheng Wen got much better after two injections of Caleb's reagent. Except for his physical weakness, he was already able to go to the ground, but he couldn't see the wind.Brother Jin was seriously injured, with wounds all over his stomach and intestines. He couldn't eat for the time being, so Grandma Jin made some liquid food to feed him.

Xue Yi asked Ah Ying and Cheng Wen later, only to find out that the injuries on Brother Jin's face and the back of his hand were caused by carelessness while catching toads that day, and the real cause of the infestation was that Brother Jin and Cheng Wen were injured seven or eight days ago. I ate a red fruit called snakeberry in the cat's ear hole.

Aying said: "That day we were catching rabbits outside the cat's ear hole. Brother Jin saw a lot of big and sweet snake berries growing outside the hole, so he picked them and ate them. I heard from my dad that there are berries growing outside the cat's ear hole. Fruits and wild vegetables can’t be eaten, they will get sick if they eat them, tell them not to eat them, but they won’t listen, and say I’m timid.”

"Snake berry?" Xue Yi immediately thought of some kind of red fruit with vines crawling on the ground. I used to hear people say that this kind of fruit would be poisoned if eaten by snakes, but the truth is that this kind of fruit is crisp and sweet.

How could a normal snakeberry cause such a scourge?

"Is there any difference between the fruits Cheng Wen and Brother Jin ate that day?" Xue Yi asked.

Ah Ying thought for a while and said, "It's a little different. The fruit is bigger than usual. It feels a little sticky and has some fluffy red threads. I don't think it's good, so I didn't eat it."

"That's right." Xue Yi touched Ah Ying's head, and said softly: "You did the right thing. In the future, you must not eat those unfamiliar or unfamiliar things in the wild. They may be poisonous, you know?" ?”

"Yeah." Ah Ying nodded, her mouth tightly pursed. She was terrified that day. At that time, she asked Jin Ge and Cheng Wen to help her catch the toad. As a result, the pustules on the toad's back burst open, and the poisonous juice When it splashed on Brother Jin's face and the back of Cheng Wen's hand, the two of them fainted immediately, causing her to think that it was because of Cheng Wen and Brother Jin, she cried all the way, and Xue Yi comforted her for several days.

Seeing the fearful expression on Aying's face again, Xue Yi stroked her face and said softly: "Aying, did you think about that day again? It's none of your business, you have already called them Don't eat it, and they're getting better now, aren't they? Don't be afraid, don't worry, they'll be all right."

"Well, teacher, I'm not afraid." Ah Ying nodded again, the bell on the hat jingled crisply, Xue Yi noticed that Ah Ying was wearing a new hat today.

The costumes of the Miao nationality, especially the costumes of women, are very particular. Girls who have not left the court wear a dark red hat embroidered with regular patterns. There is usually a silver lock on the back of the hat, and three small silver bells are hung under the silver lock. It makes a ringing sound as it walks, which is very pleasant to hear.

The women who come out of the pavilion wear a silver crown with sterling silver horns and complex patterns on their heads, at least three or four silver rings on their necks, hands, and even ankles, and clothes and skirts embroidered with exquisite patterns It will also be covered with silver ornaments, and the whole person looks silvery, very eye-catching and dazzling.

Married women's attire is much simpler. They will put a bun on the head, then wrap it with a long scarf and wrap it in a square scarf. The clothes should not be too gorgeous.

For women who have become grandmothers or grandmas, the long scarves and square scarves wrapped around their heads are mostly blue, which is to distinguish seniority and show respect.

For example, the village chief's mother, the third mother-in-law, brother Jin's grandmother, and mother-in-law Qiao all wore blue square scarves, while Aunt Zhenhua used a white patterned square scarf.And little girls like Ah Ying can wear fancy hats.

"Aying, your mother made you a new hat?" Xue Yi asked.

"Well, my mother said that today is the Lusheng Festival. Everyone should wear new clothes and go to Changchun Slope to sing and dance."

"Lusheng Festival? Yes, I remembered." On the day Xue Yi first arrived in the Miao Village, he saw that there were very few girls in the village. When he asked about it, Aunt Zhenhua said that the girls in the village had gone back to their grandmother's house with their mothers, so they couldn't pass. I will come back to participate in the Lusheng Festival in a few days.

At that time, Xue Yi had been looking forward to the arrival of the Lusheng Festival, but there was a witchcraft incident in the middle, and he forgot it when he was busy, and only remembered it now.

Seeing her envious expression, Ah Ying knew that the teachers from the city were very curious about the customs in their village, so she volunteered and said, "Mr. Xue, do you want to go to the Lusheng Festival? I know where my sister is going to the Lusheng Festival." , do you want to go?"

"Think!" Xue's eyes sparkled, as if he saw the glittering and jingling silver ornaments, he nodded again and again, "Aying, wait for me, I will go get the camera."

"Okay, I'll go get the camera with you." Ah Ying said to her mother who was embroidering in the room: "Mom, Teacher Xue and I went to Aunt Jinlan's house, and we won't be home for lunch."

"Okay, be careful, don't make trouble for your Aunt Jinlan." The folk customs in the village are simple, and it is common for children to go to the village to visit households. If you see children not going home to eat, they must eat at someone's house. It will make his children hungry, so don't worry about it at all.

Xue Yi took Aying's little hand back to his bamboo building to get the camera, and then walked along the Baishui River with Aying to Aunt Jinlan's house at the head of the village.

Sure enough, I saw many young women along the way, and young girls in costumes, most of them in twos and threes, and when they saw Xue Yi, they would come forward and say hello to each other by name.

The pronunciation of the Miao language is slanted, and it naturally has a delicate and delicate style. When young girls say it, it is like an oriole out of the valley. Most of them are glamorous and affectionate, and they are best at deceiving people's hearts. The voice alone is unbearable.

Xue Yi explained that the pronunciation of Miao language is like this, and it was a bit uncomfortable to hear it at first, but it will be fine after listening more.

When approaching Aunt Jinlan’s house, Xue Yi and Aying met a girl who was going to Aunt Jinlan’s house. Her name was Adeihua. “A” is a common name for girls in the Miao nationality. Add it in front of the girl's name, for example, Aying, Adeihua, etc.

Adaihua is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. She has red lips, white teeth, pink face and starry eyes. She looks very delicate. When she saw Aying, she hugged Aying, kissed her and said: "Xiaoyingzi, you little girl." What are you doing at your age, don't you know how to sing folk songs, and want to find a lover?"

"No way, I brought Teacher Xue here, please let me go." Although Ah Ying is young, she also knows how to feel embarrassed, especially in front of the teacher, "Our teacher is here, don't treat me like a three-year-old Hug the baby back and forth."

Xue Yi smiled implicitly, but the girl named Adeihua laughed loudly, squeezed Ah Ying's face, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are not a three-year-old baby, but a six-year-old baby." ,Hahaha."

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you." Ah Ying was angry, she took Xue Yi's hand and walked to Aunt Jinlan's yard. A Daihua caught up with her, thinking that Xue Yi could not speak Miao language, so she spoke to Xue Yi in Chinese. Said: "Hello, you are the new teacher, my name is Adeihua."

"Yes, it's me. My name is Xue Yi." Xue nodded, unexpectedly, the girl could speak Chinese quite standard, and somehow he had a good impression of her.

"Are you going to Duange too?" Adeihua took Xue Yi's hand very naturally, like a good sister.

Xue Yi is a little uncomfortable with her familiarity, but she doesn't dislike her. Who would reject a beautiful girl who is beautiful and generous?Didn't you see that the barrage is already so white that you can't see it clearly?

"No, I'm just curious, so I came to take a look." Xue Yi raised his camera and explained, "I'm not only a teacher, but also a reporter. I want to see what good materials are available and take some pictures. , Contribute to magazines and TV stations.”

"Really?" Adeihua frowned and said with a smile, "Then can you take a photo for me? I can give you money!"

"Yes, no money is required." Xue Yi hasn't taken any formal photos with a camera since she arrived in Miao Village. It's rare that someone takes the initiative to take pictures for her. It's just what she wished for. However, A Daihua's dress and silver jewelry were taken by her mother to Aunt Jinlan. It's home, and I can't shoot until Aunt Jinlan's house is replaced.

"Okay, then let's go to Aunt Jinlan's house!"
