I live in Miao Village

The lines of the little turtle on the inner wall of the mold are rough and immature. It looks like a child's random graffiti, and it doesn't look like it has any special meaning.But Qian Liwen thought it might be an accident that there was a small turtle on one mold, and it was not normal if it was found on every mold. He asked Xue Yituo to print more than ten copies and send them to experts and scholars from all over the world for their help.

It's a pity that the reply is either I don't know or it's ambiguous, and I can't tell why.

Some experts heard that Xue Yi found a kind of cloud patterns of the Han and Tang Dynasties that had been lost in the silver ornaments of the Miao nationality. They were very interested. Look at the silver jewelry, and then stare at the girls doing embroidery and batik.

After a long time, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the girls: "Why are these experts so idle, they just stare at the girls all day long when they have nothing to do, their eyes... don't look like a good person at first sight."

"Yeah, I passed by the entrance of the temporary research institute today, and that expert Zhang or something has been staring at my silver jewelry, I hate it to death."

"Those experts don't look like bad guys, but for some reason, they always feel that their eyes glow when they see us doing embroidery and batik, as if they saw some treasure. Do you think we should tell Teacher Xue?"

"Let's forget it. Teacher Xue is so busy. She invited those experts to help us."

Therefore, it was a long time later when these words reached Xue Yi's ears. Aunt Zhenhua said whether these experts have taken a fancy to the girls in the village, which is not very good.

Xue Yixiao said: "If these experts knew how to look at girls, they wouldn't be single now. What shines in their eyes is not girls, but patterns on silver embroidery and batik." I plan to talk to those experts later, If you want to study, just spend some money, buy all those silver ornaments and embroidery, don't be idle and stare at other girls.Before I went out, I met Wang Yunhai hurried in and said: The villagers clashed with the tourists again.

"What's the reason for this time?"

"It's not that some tourists trample on the crops in order to take a shortcut!"

"Is there a sign that prohibits trampling on the crops?" Xue Yi asked.

"It's up, the key is that someone will step on it, Mr. Xue, hurry up, or you will die if you don't go." Wang Yunhai said anxiously.

"Good good."

When Xue Yi, Wang Yunhai, and Aunt Zhenhua arrived, Uncle Wu and other peasants surrounded a few tourists, speaking angrily, as if they might strike at any moment.

"Calm down, calm down, don't do anything." Xue Yi was yelling from afar, fearing that the villagers would do something impulsively.

"Teacher Xue, we are very calm. If it was before, let alone stepping on our crops, they would have been beaten to death before they even entered the stockade."

"Mr. Xue, I set up a sign outside the crop field as you said, but this person still tramples on my crops. Do you think it should be hit or not?"

"Yes, yes." Those who spoke were two young and strong peasants, one of whom was the fifth uncle known by everyone. He was not very old, but his seniority was very high. Also relatively rush.Xue Yi could just follow their words, "Calm down, everyone. In this way, let's hand this person over to the Longchang Town Police Station. Let the government deal with it, not privately."

Seeing everyone yelling, yelling, yelling, the crowd was furious, and the scene was chaotic, he was afraid that everyone would do something impulsively. Unexpectedly, Uncle Wu said, "Leave it to the police station? The police station will give you a few words of education and you will be fined." Is that right? When we Danliu Village people are easy to bully? Today’s matter can’t be settled like this.”

"Yes, it can't end like that."

"Speaking of which, we haven't had a safe life since these tourists came. Some people always act recklessly, saying don't litter or trample on the crops, but some people still don't listen!"

"According to me, you should drive those people out and don't let them in."

"That won't work. If we drive them all out, our village will lose a lot of income."

"That's the only benefit in your eyes! This is the place of the ancestors, how can outsiders be allowed in."

"Hey, you don't let outsiders in. If you have the ability, don't do business and don't make money."

It turns out that since the development of tourism, the villagers have earned a lot of money and their lives have improved a lot, but the peaceful and comfortable life has also disappeared. Some people who are nostalgic for stability are unwilling. They are willing to interact with the outside world. They would rather live a poor and old-fashioned life than the rubbish and crowds that can be seen everywhere. The sentiment against tourism and tourists gradually spread, and finally broke out to the peak today.

Xue Yi can understand everyone's thoughts, so she thought of many ways, such as setting up tourist areas open to the outside world and relatively closed residential areas, stipulating that ancestral halls, ancestral temples, ancient wells and other places are strictly prohibited from trespassing, and even organized villagers to set up many The sign tells tourists not to litter or trample on crops, but it can’t stand the difference in quality of foreign tourists. Some will listen to you if you say a few words, and some think I’m rich. Whatever I like, you can control it. Are you looking at me?

For example, today’s tourist, I don’t know whose family this guy is a prodigal son. It’s fine if he is caught by the fifth uncle and apologizes. The fifth uncle is not an unreasonable person. This guy threw a sum of money on the ground and let the fifth uncle go Pick it up, Fifth Uncle can't beat him up.

There is no police station in Danliu village, and all matters are resolved by voting at the village meeting. It is hateful for tourists to trample on the fifth uncle's crops, but it is absolutely unacceptable to beat them violently. Passengers to the police station.But the angry villagers couldn't listen to these things, and they started arguing about whether to open tourism, and gradually divided into two factions, one faction insisted on open tourism, and the other opposed it.

Xue Yi always felt that the advantages of open tourism outweigh the disadvantages, "Folks, the problems you mentioned do exist, but open tourism is a process, and we will encounter many problems in the process, which will make us doubt and shrink back, but I believe these problems can be solved. Yes, we have to take it step by step, besides, open tourism has brought us not only economic benefits, but also various cultural exchanges..."

"We used to be closed and had a good time." Before Xue finished speaking, Fifth Uncle interrupted her, "But those experts you invited, who have nothing to do all day, just know to stare at the girl. Let’s see, if this is what you mean by cultural exchange, we’d rather not have it.”

"Yes, yes, those people are not serious people at first glance."

"They are not doing nothing, they are..." Xue Yi wanted to explain, but her explanation was quickly drowned out by other voices.

The villagers' rejection of outsiders reached its peak, and even Xue Yi, who was usually respected, was affected, as if she was also an outsider.

Xue Yi also has a temper, "Okay, if you like to be open or not, it's best to kill this person. Those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who should be shot will be shot. Fang Zhishu and I have been teaching here for so many years. "Turn around and leave.

Aunt Zhenhua: "Hey, Teacher Xue, what are you people doing so impulsively? Okay, you guys fight, fight, I don't care." Turned around and chased Xue Yi.

Brother Hai was also very angry when he saw the situation turned out like this, "Go ahead and fight, I don't care, don't worry, I will help you take care of your wives and daughters when the time comes."

The villagers were dumbfounded. Just now they had been clamoring for a fight. Xue Yiyue stopped them and wanted to fight more, as if he couldn't get out of it.

But why don't you want to fight?Uncle Wu glanced at the shivering tourist who was tied to the ground, and thought that there was no need to go to jail for such a low-quality person, but it would be a bit embarrassing to let him go like this.

The person next to him said: "Uncle Wu, in fact, if you step on the crops, you just step on it, and let him pay for it. What's the big deal, as for making such a big fuss."

"Yes, Teacher Xue is such a nice person. When we say that, do we not treat her as one of our own?"

"Yes, yes, we are indeed wrong about this matter, or else, let's go and apologize to her, or wait for A Yaoduo to come back, someone said it."

Uncle Wu thinks so too. Although Ayaoduo is a girl, she doesn't respect him very much. She yells at Yang Laowu Yang Laowu all day long, and this time, this little girl grabs her pigtails again. ,Forget it.

Several young and strong peasants were squatting outside Xue Yi's small bamboo building. They wanted to go in but couldn't bear to lose face. Xue Yi scolded Researcher Zhang in the yard, saying: "It's not good for you to look so wretched. Why do you look so wretched?" If you don’t have money to buy, just borrow it and take a look. Stare at other girls, do you know what other people think? I’m really mad at me. Quit it, pack your things, and leave when Ayaoduo comes back and tell her!”

"Hey, don't, don't, Mr. Xue, listen to me. I was wrong. What you said just now is really out of your head. Don't take it to your heart. If you leave, what will happen to the children studying? If you let everyone know, don't fight Kill me, Ayaoduo will not let me go when she comes back to see if you are not there."

"Yeah, Mr. Xue, don't be angry, it's all our fault, we're just too angry, that guy stepped on our crops and threw money in our face, we just..."

"Stop talking, stop talking, it's all our fault, please don't go."

Actually, Xue Yi wasn't particularly angry, she just felt that she couldn't handle the matter of travel anyway, and she also felt troubled in her heart, and she couldn't help it because Uncle Wu said that kind of thing just now, now that the problem has been solved ,forget about it.

Xue Yi really found out that she is not suitable to be a leader, not suitable to deal with these things, she is still comfortable as a simple teacher, usually just take good classes, if there is extra time, she can take pictures, do live broadcasts, Not sure how comfortable it is.

Seeing that Xue Yi was pensive and silent, Fifth Uncle thought she was still angry, and almost pleaded, "Mr. Xue, I shouldn't say that kind of thing. Although it was good for us in Danliu Village not to communicate with the outside world before, it's not good to communicate with the outside world." good……"

Researcher Zhang at the side heard it and said that what you said was wrong. Danliu Village had communicated with the outside world more times in history, but it was too long and you didn't know it.

"You are……"

"I'm that wretched-looking expert that the girls talk about, always staring at the girl's silver embroidered batik."

Xue Yi asked Wang Yunhai to invite everyone, especially the girls, and said that there will be a movie tonight, but before the movie, researcher Zhang should tell everyone about the research results of the past few days.

When the villagers heard that it was the expert who was always watching the girls doing embroidery and batik, they were somewhat conflicted in their hearts, but thinking that there was a movie to watch and Xue Yi was there to help them, most of them came.

"Hi folks, my surname is Zhang. I have caused trouble for you in the past few days. I would like to bow to you first. I am really sorry. To clarify, I am really not looking at the girls. I am looking at the girls. The silver jewelry they wear and the embroidery and batik they do. Today I heard people say that Danliu Village has lived well without communicating with the outside world for so many years. This is not true. First of all, no ethnic group or person can completely stop communicating with the outside world; Secondly, in the history of Danliu Village, it has been influenced by many external cultures. The silver ornaments and clothes worn by the girls have traces of other ethnic groups."

As soon as this remark came out, the villagers talked a lot, how could it be possible, Danliuzhai has lived in this mountain village for so many years, and had never been out before liberation, how...

Researcher Zhang continued: "Girl, please come over here. When we met this morning, I stared at your silver jewelry for a long time. I'm very sorry. I just think the longevity lock on your body is very familiar. I mean, but when I wanted to explain to you, you had already run away. Let me use the longevity lock on your body... I believe that every girl in the village has a silver longevity lock, as light as half a catty, Everyone is a few catties, worn on the chest, rich and gorgeous, implying longevity and well-being, but this girl's longevity lock is different, although this longevity lock has been washed and refurbished with silver washing water, but I'm sure that this longevity lock Suo Shao said it has a history of 300 years, right girl?"

"Yes, how do you know, I just asked Aunt Jinlan to have it refurbished last month." The girl covered her mouth with a look of disbelief, "It was passed down from my grandmother to my mother, and my grandmother said this long-lived lock It was passed down to her by her grandmother, and she was asked to keep it safe."

"Then let me guess again. Either your grandmother or your grandmother's grandmother must be from Wengshui, right?"

"Correct!"

"My god, is this person an old fortune teller?"

This time not only the girl, but the others were also shocked.

Xue Yi smiled and said: "He is not a god, but this longevity lock is very similar in style to a Yuan Dynasty longevity lock unearthed in Wengshui, but this shape of longevity lock only appeared for a short period of time at the end of the Yuan Dynasty , It disappeared after that, so he dared to guess the origin of your longevity lock."

"I see." The elderly grandfather stroked his beard and nodded.

"Do you know what this means? It means that the legend that the ancestors of our Danliu village were descendants of the chieftains of the Yuan Dynasty is very likely to be true. Besides, the shape of the phoenix on the crown and the shape of double dragons playing with beads on the clothes are similar to the dragon and phoenix of the Han nationality. The image is similar, please look at the picture in my hand..."

Researcher Zhang took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, and patiently explained to the villagers that some villagers did not have the concept of cultural relics or Yuan and Ming, and could not even tell how many years the Yuan Dynasty was from modern times, and how many years the Ming Dynasty was from modern times.

Researcher Zhang didn't mind at all. He was very patient and excited when he talked about historical relics. Starting from the silver ornaments, he talked about several conjectures about the origin of Danliu Village and several collisions with Han culture. Most of the villagers did not know Chinese characters. Let Xue Yi help with the translation, or let young men, women or children who have read the book read it.

Researcher Zhang spoke vividly and well-founded. His conjecture was roughly consistent with the legend passed down by the ancestors of Danliu village. The villagers could not believe it. Everyone listened to one story after another like listening to stories.

The village chief listened to him, and tears slowly filled his eyes. Aunt Zhenhua smiled and said what happened to you, Uncle Yao, how moved you are, there are still many juniors here.

The village chief said: "I didn't cry, no, I wasn't moved, er, no, I was thinking, an outsider knows more about our history than we do, don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel sorry for our ancestors?" What are you talking about today, you can live a good life without interacting with the outside world, and you don’t even know where you come from, so this is called a good life? Cough cough, you are really going to piss me off."

Uncle Wu and those who made trouble today lowered their heads, and slowly moved to the village head, "Uncle Yao, we know we were wrong."

"Wrong? Cough cough, you are very powerful, you are the most powerful in fighting, go fight, if Teacher Xue didn't stop you today, you would be squatting in prison like Wang Laosi."

Wang Laosi was arrested?Xue Yi's eyes lit up, and he thought that God has eyes, and he wanted to ask more details, but the village chief coughed for a while, and said to the children in the village: "Ah Ying, there are some of you, Brother Jin. , You have to study hard, you know? Don’t even know your own family tree, how embarrassing.”

"Understood, Grandpa." Ah Ying responded obediently.

After watching the movie in the evening, the fifth uncle came to see Xue Yi again, saying that the village head let him come, and he wanted to make another formal apology.

"You said Wang Lao Si, I heard that he recently bought tobacco in Longchang Township. He got into an argument with someone and beat him in a fit of rage. Now he is squatting at the Longchang Township Police Station. "

"Speaking of which, I really thank you, Mr. Xue. If you hadn't tried to persuade me, I might have gone to see Wang Laosi. How could I talk to you here again?"

Xue Yi also replied politely, "You are so calm, no way, you are really too angry today, it is understandable, if you want me, I will be angry too." After being polite with them for a while, I planned to visit Wang Caiyun's house, but Wang Caixiang and Wang Caiyun Yunhai has already gone to Longchang Town, and only Wang Caixiang stays at home. Researcher Zhang lives in Wang Caixiang's home. This time, he is explaining to Wang Caixiang the changes and development of the fretwork on her hat.

Wang Caixiang saw that the pattern on her hat was exactly the same as the painting on the book, she thought it was amazing, so she listened intently.

Researcher Zhang has been obsessed with the study of ethnic minority culture for many years. He would stare blankly at anything interesting when he saw it. If he could research something, he would always say to everyone that it was okay at the beginning. Everyone thought it was new, but time After a long time, she gets tired of listening to it, and she doesn't want to listen to it anymore, but Wang Caixiang is not the same. Children of her age like to listen to stories. As long as someone tells them, she is willing to listen, and she doesn't know how much she can understand.

Xue Yi saw that one of the two of them was concentrating on speaking and the other was engrossed in listening, and shook his head with a smile. With the help of these experts, Xue Yi’s pressure was much lighter, but no matter how many mysteries they solved, they could not find the slightest bit and the small hole on the mold. The clues related to the turtle are really a headache.

"Do you think this little turtle may be the epitome of other symbols, such as oracle bone inscriptions, official script, maybe this is not a turtle, but a certain character?" Seeing that there was no one in Wang Caixiang's house, Xue invited Wang Caixiang and Researcher Zhang to come. Come and have a meal at home.

Researcher Zhang was shocked when he heard Xue Yi say this, "I thought about it." Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he took out the book in his bag and flipped through it quickly.

"Eat first, don't talk about it, Xue Yi..." Aunt Jin Lan saw that this man stopped eating when he mentioned research, and said, Xue Yi, don't imitate him. Unexpectedly, Xue Yi also put down the bowl and rummaged around. Find, "What did you think of, I will help you find it."

"What did you think of, I'll help you find it." Like a repeater, Little Putao turned her head away from the meal that Aunt San was feeding her, and rushed towards Xue Yi.

Wang Ping said: "Ah, ah, come back, I don't eat the big ones, and I don't eat the small ones. Teacher Xue, researcher Zhang, don't look for it, let's eat first. The little turtle should have no meaning. It is probably drawn by Mr. Jin. , Randomly drawn..." Randomly drawn?Why are these words so familiar?

"Hey, who drew a little turtle on my mold, please beat me..."

"Will this little turtle be painted on every mold in the future..."

"It's so beautiful to think about it, you just think about it when you draw it..."

"I found it, this is it, Mr. Xue, do you think this character looks like a little turtle on the mold?" Researcher Zhang was overjoyed, and showed it to Xue.

Xue Yi: "Like, what word is this?"

"Come with me." The two of them didn't even eat, and Aunt Jinlan knocked on her chopsticks, complaining, "I don't eat anymore, I'm already this old."

Wang Ping finally remembered something, and was bluffed by Researcher Zhang, but he forgot all about it, got up and said, "I'll call them back."

Researcher Zhang, like Qian Liwen, has always believed that the turtle is a cultural totem similar to a horn, representing the Miao people's worship of cattle, but the appearance of the turtle on the mold subverted this idea. After being reminded by Xue Yi, Researcher Zhang felt that this Perhaps it is not a symbol, but a character. He searched through various classics and finally found a Chinese character that resembles a turtle on the mold: strider, but it is only the character in that book, and there is no other place. It is still an oracle bone inscription. No matter how long the history of Mr. Jin's molds is, it cannot be as long as the era of oracle bone inscriptions.

As soon as Xue saw Wang Ping came to call him, he told him to go back first, and then they would talk when they were hungry.

Wang Ping wanted to say something several times, but finally stopped, thinking that Xue Yi and Researcher Zhang are very educated people, they think this little turtle has other meanings, and they have other meanings, it must be right, I am sure misremembered.

Unexpectedly, this little turtle left behind a curse.

The author has something to say: It is indeed as everyone said, it is almost over, I will try my best to write it as complete as possible, put the tail away, except for the meat, you can start ordering any episodes you want to watch, there is a second update today
