The Happy Man in the Red Chamber

Seeing Fu Lei's smile, An Lan felt very happy.Rivers and lakes, rivers and lakes, it is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.But in the end, she only saw Ou Mufeng alone, and she didn't feel like entering the Jianghu until she saw the Five Poison Sect members who appeared.

Fleur put away the glazed card: "I don't know if you are willing to come to my house as a guest?" She looked at the warnings around her and hoped she would refuse to follow her, and extended the invitation with a smile.

An Lan blinked at her, and stepped forward a few steps: "Can I have a feast of insects?"

Her biggest impression of the Miaojiang area is actually the Hundred Insect Feast she tasted when she traveled by car in Yunnan in her early years.At that time, the natural conditions were harsh, and it was not as beautiful as it is now.The so-called Feast of Hundred Insects is just a symbolic thing composed of several kinds of insects and snails.Some unique poisonous ones did not appear in front of tourists.In fact, even the local house is too small for people to eat.

Looking at her smiling face and eyes full of anticipation, Fleur felt for the first time that this Han woman really wanted to eat delicious food rather than a temptation to them Miao people.

"Do you want to eat?" The Hundred Insect Banquet is actually not a very common meal in the Miaojiang family.First, when meat is difficult to obtain, fried or grilled worms can be supplemented.Secondly, if you take it from nature, you also need to know how to cultivate your vitality.However, this woman was the first one who came to Miaojiang to eat the Hundred Insect Feast.

"Yeah!" An Lan nodded, "Fried spiders and all, don't let them go!" She smiled happily, her narrowed eyes turned into slits.The Miao people around heard it inexplicably, isn't this woman afraid of being poisoned by them?

Fleur decided to take a gamble, she looked at the man who no longer knew what to say: "Is he going to follow?"

An Lan glanced at Ou Mufeng: "Young Master, do you want to come with me?"

Ou Mufeng himself didn't want to go to the Five Poisons Sect, but thinking of this woman... he still decided to go along with worry.

The Five Poison Sect is the same as the Tang Sect, all of them focus on poison.But the Tang Sect still has lightness skills and hidden weapons, but the Five Poison Sect has nothing but poison but Gu.Unless it is desperate, generally no Han Chinese will go to the Five Poisons Sect to eat.But thinking of the special nature of this woman, Ou Mufeng could only pray that the woman would remember to detoxify herself after eating and drinking.

Fleur's home is on the mountainside covered with dense forests. The foundation of the high fort is piled up with rolling river stones, and above it is a house made of wooden frames and bamboo.There are many houses, and the roads are rammed with earth, paved with stone slabs and descended along the mountain.Every household has its own small building, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking is peaceful.

As the witch in the village, Fleur naturally lives in a high place close to the mountains and forests.An Lan watched as she walked, but there was no traditional welcome wine when entering the village.It seems that everyone has gone out to work at this time, and the old people left behind are doing handicrafts in the yard.

It was also the first time for Ou Mufeng to enter the village of the Miao people, and he was very curious and alert at the same time.

An Lan walked beside Fu Lei, looking around: "Seeing that the harvest is coming, how is the harvest this year?"

"I'm afraid it's not very good." Fleur shook her head: "It should be time for the autumn harvest, but the weather is still cloudy from time to time. Without the sun, the rice will not be able to mature." Facing this year's autumn harvest, she is also very frustrated.

An Lan turned her head and looked at the wheat field at the foot of the mountain. The tassels of rice inside hadn't changed color yet.Without the light and effect of the sun, if there is no good sun in the Mid-Autumn Festival, this year's harvest will be worrying.

She nodded: "I have good land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the harvest in the first half of the year is good. If you don't mind... just trade it for something!" She originally wanted to give it directly, but after thinking about it in the books she had read, She used the word "changing" when introducing the minority people in the Yunnan-Guizhou area.

Fleur was very surprised when she heard that, she thought for a while: "Aren't you afraid that the government will trouble you?"

Lijiang belongs to Dali. At present, because of the relationship between Miluo in the south and the English, Dali has more firearms.The men in the stockade now also have firearms in their hands.It's just because the Five Poison Sect rarely enters the Central Plains, and not many people know about it.But as long as you have gold and silver, firearms are not difficult to buy.

Because of this relationship, the relationship between Central Plains and Dali is very tense right now.Although the tea-horse business road has been open for business, it has been difficult for Dali to import rice and other things from the Central Plains since last year.It is tea, and the prevailing tax is much higher than in previous years.Fortunately, there are also tea factories in Lijiang. Although the tea produced is not as good as that in the Central Plains, it can still be sold in Tubo.

It is said in the world that Qixiufang is more mysterious than Cihang Jingzhai.Although they are all sects handed down from Tang Dynasty, after all, Cihang Jingzhai only has a mountain gate.But Qixiufang, the result of the investigation by the heroes of the rivers and lakes is that it is similar to the state of the Buddhist mustard seed.Or use a strange technique, so that no one can see it.Anyone who wants to enter Qixiufang must have a waterway.But even if the lake is not open to the outside, as long as the Qixiufang builds a pier, it can enter the Qixiufang.Then Qixiufang can be used as a transit to enter the Central Plains.In many cases, the old ones can be ignored.

Originally, Fleur and the people in the church were curious about this and thought that the people in the Central Plains were probably exaggerating.But seeing this girl who still seems to have a childlike interest now, I feel that maybe I can really pass such a road and end the food problem among the various villages this year.

An Lan smiled and shook her head: "It's not rumored in the rivers and lakes, even if it's a pool of stagnant water, as long as there are seven piers, can it be connected in all directions? The government can't control it, so you can rest assured. It's just that I am a small village after all, and the production is also the same. There are a lot of them. So you have to count them well, and you don’t have any extra to give to others.”

How did Fu Lei understand what she meant, she just said that the Five Poison Sect is not a sect in Dali.It's just that for the Central Plains, their location is between Dali and the Central Plains, so they are more famous.There are not many things, and it depends on whether you have the ability to keep them.

Fleur's house is very large, with three small buildings arranged in a zigzag shape, with a flat square in the middle.The ground is flat and the flagstones are crisp and clean.It can be seen that someone cleaned it.

In the square, some children were playing with sandbags.When the boys and girls saw outsiders coming, they all stopped, then quickly slipped away and disappeared into the house.An Lan watched, and Mimi smiled.Fleur stood in front of the archway entering the square and clapped her hands.The mammy following her quickly strode into the house.After a while, three young and beautiful girls came out with three plates and three bowls of wine on them.

The loud singing sounded in the hills, pure and natural.Fu Lei reached out her hand to An Lan, and An Lan picked up the bowl in the middle and drank it.Once left and right.The three bowls of rice wine are arranged according to the aging time.The first bowl is the crackiest, the second is the lightest, and the third is in the middle.You can see how the guests drink.How the guests drink, how the host will treat.

An Lan had heard of some, but later these customs disappeared with the rule of Yuan Ming, or merged into new customs.The original three bowls have become speculations of folklore research and archaeologists.

After drinking, enter the courtyard with the singing.The children who were playing around in the square left quickly with shyness and curiosity.Children rarely participate in things for adults.

The Hundred Insect Banquet mentioned by An Lan is very suitable for the current season.But it takes a while to prepare.Although the witches in the Miao Village are good at making Gu, they can only get the bugs for food.Fortunately, as long as Fleur is in need, some of the clan members who are free will help.After all, it must be worthwhile to entertain guests with the Hundred Insect Feast.

On the steps in front of the house, An Lan sat on the ground very indifferently.Her naturalness and unpretentiousness have won the favor of young people around her.They live in Lijiang, which is different from those houses in the mountains.I have seen Han people, and I have also been to Han people.But mostly due to the language barrier and inappropriate living habits, they all came back.It's rare to see such a beautiful woman, and I don't mind that they are curiously waiting to get in touch.

At this time, dinner was approaching, and five or six daughters-in-law made the Hundred Insect Feast together, and a long table was set up in the yard.Among them, the most precious ones are chicken and fish made in earthenware pots, and what makes them express their sincerity most is the food made by deep-frying plates of unique bugs.

The toast started first, and the chopsticks were moved only after the full wine glass was searched for three times.There are not so many rules, adults and children sit in rows.It's just that today some Han people make it out for children alone, and eat it around the firepit in other houses.

An Lan has backpacked for a long time in Xishuangbanna and other areas in Lijiang, so she is more or less familiar with the rules of the Miao people and mostly read books when she was young.She looked at a large plate of dark, fried shiny crustaceans and took a dictation.

Looking at Fleur in embarrassment, she picked up one and pinched it in her hand, broke it apart and dipped some dipping powder made of chili pepper into her mouth.The taste is very good, not to mention crispy, the texture inside is tight, and the meat inside is very sweet.Ou Mufeng, who was sitting opposite her, was completely frightened by her actions.There were twenty or thirty things on that plate, none other than big black spiders.

"Is it tasty?"

"Yeah!" An Lan, who didn't want to talk anymore, nodded her eyes.She gnawed on a spider, thinking about the shiny scorpions.

For a meal, the host and guest enjoy themselves without talking.An Lan even suggested if he could take some away for her as a snack.In desperation, Fleur told her husband and the clan members below that she had a frank and greedy personality, and at the same time gave her some snails and so on.Pack it in a bamboo basket, wrap it with large leaves, and tie it with hemp rope.An Lan ate and took, and finally left the village amidst the laughter of Fu Lei and the tribe.

After leaving the Miao people's house, Ou Mufeng vomited when he returned to his residence.He felt that when he returned to the desert in the future, he could tell those people how he survived the family banquet of the Five Poison Sect without being poisoned to death.

Sitting at the stone table in the yard, Ou Mufeng's expression was not very good.An Lan went into the room and changed her clothes. She was wearing a dark blue and white small cross-printed myrobalan, a chest-length skirt with multiple layers of white silk gauze, and the lower edge of the skirt was embroidered with flower stems connected by blue silk threads. Clover.She wore clogs with pinched feet on her feet, and looked at Ou Mufeng, who had a bad face, and even put his swords and saber around his waist on the table, and laughed softly.

She was holding a scorpion, the scorpion with the tail pin removed was crispy and delicious.The accompanying bamboo tube contains a sweet and sour refreshing mint sauce.After dipping it, she tore open a mud bag, which contained fragrant beggar chicken.

"Looking at your face, I know that you must have vomited. I like to find some weird food. But I think it's embarrassing you today. How about this as an apology?"

Ou Mufeng looked at the fragrant beggar chicken, and then at the woman who was biting a scorpion and blinking innocently, and suddenly lost his appetite.He took out a dagger from the calf leggings, and took a part of the beggar chicken away: "The dew is heavy at night, you should rest earlier!"

An Lan innocently looked at the drug that had just been explicit and prepared a drink.The key two looked at each other without saying a word.An Lan looked at them, and immediately understood that there was no personality setting, these two people would only do things according to a few instructions.She shrugged, licked her fingers dipped in the sauce, and poured herself a glass of wine.

The second day was sunny, An Lan left the inn early.After all, she could still rest for a day, so she left a message and came back after noon.Ou Mufeng knew that she must have gone to the Miao Village, and his stomach ached just thinking about that meal.So I didn't care, rest and recuperation is what I have to do now.

An Lan entered the stockade this time, but no one stopped him.It's just that Fleur took her little daughter with her early, and she didn't dress so gorgeously, but simply put her hair into a leaf bun and stood at the door of her house.

An Lan stopped lightly, and just took a few steps back.At night, I received people from Qixiufang, and sent twenty bags of rice in exchange for medicinal wine and mint sauce made by their village.Although there is nothing special, the relationship between the two is inherently sincere.Thinking that the person would definitely come the next day, as expected, early in the morning, before breakfast, I saw a white dress floating in the air like a fairy descending from the earth.

"Qixiufang's lightness kung fu is really good, I think you don't have to work hard at all." Fu Lei thought about the girl's naughty and gluttonous appearance the day before, they Miao people said that anyone who loves to eat has no evil intentions of.

"If I own the characteristics of the workshop, I can leave it to you." An Lan smiled apologetically, and turned to see the weird little girl.The girl's hair is simply combed into a bun on the top of the head, and a freshly picked flower is decorated next to it.She smiled and squatted in front of the little girl: "Your daughter?"

"Yes, my youngest daughter. Very talented." Fleur didn't say much, and simply said that her youngest daughter would inherit her position in the future.

An Lan smiled and took off the red bracelets she always wore from her wrists, there were two of them.It's just that the beads on it are very small, and the two strings together don't seem too many.

"This is for you. This is the red musk string. If you see Erlang you like in the future, give another one to him." An Lan smiled and handed the beads to the little girl.The girl obviously couldn't speak Chinese, so she looked at her mother.The mother and daughter exchanged in Miao language, then blushed and put away.The color is very bright, and children will like it when they see it.

"Do you have children?" Fleur looked at the pair of bracelets, thinking about An Lan's words.

"I have a daughter, but she is only three years old now." An Lan smiled and took the little girl's hand: "If I have a chance in the future, how about I bring my little sister to play with you?"

Fleur watched as she took her daughter's hand, just about to remind something but it didn't seem to be a hindrance.I knew in my heart that this woman must have top-level poison-avoiding things on her body.The saintesses of the Five Poison Sect were all poisonous before they became the leader.Even the clansmen, few people dare to touch it.They all follow their mothers or masters, and they are very lonely.

The girl was very surprised, she murmured a little Miao language to her mother.Fleur led them into the yard: "But did you have breakfast?"

"Not yet, I was thinking of coming here to ask for a bite." An Lan smiled happily.The girl's hands are soft and have some small calluses, which must be very hard on weekdays.

Xiaozhuo was placed in front of the main room, and people were served hot tea and rice.It is very good with sour and salty side dishes.An Lan was not polite, and Fu Lei only made friends after seeing her like this.

The girl had dinner with her mother and guests, then got up and left.She still has training to do, so she can't let it go away just because it's rare for someone to get close to her.

Seeing the girl's reluctance, An Lan smiled and waved.Fleur sighed: "I'm the only one who can take care of this child. After all, I didn't want to choose from among my children. But if I don't choose her, I'm afraid the brothers and sisters above her will be difficult to do in the future."

"Big families have their own affairs. In the end, you are doing it for the sake of your children." An Lan comforted her.Changed the subject with a smile: "Last night, I received news that Mingjiao plans to accept Tangmen as an affiliate. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for you here in the future."

Fleur looked at her, lowered her head and smiled: "There is no way to do this! My husband is an honest man, and you have seen the people in the village. But after all, this is Miaojiang, which is close to the Central Plains. Where is Bashu?" I'm afraid it's not as good as the poisonous materials here. Besides, this place is too far away from the desert, but Bashu is close to Tubo." She spoke slowly, slurring every word.After all, I seldom speak Chinese on weekdays, so I am not used to it.

An Lan sat next to her on a bamboo chair, looking at the clear water and green mountains in the distance: "Fortunately, regardless of Mingjiao, this place is under the jurisdiction of Dali. If you have anything to do with Mingjiao, it would be inappropriate. Damo is still Dali after all. Yong's territory is only established by the Protectorate, but not directly governed. No matter how you look at it, it is a domestic matter. But if you follow the Mingjiao with the Five Poisons, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it here in Dali in the future. You set up the Five Poisons Teaching, originally it was not for Jianghu martial arts. I don’t think there is any need to be implicated in it.”

"It's true." Fleur heard that and smiled heartily.She is a hearty woman, although some elders in the sect were dissatisfied by not choosing to join Mingjiao.But in the end, what the woman said is the truth.

After all, the Five Poisons Sect does not exist for the sake of martial arts.The early ancestors established orthodoxy based on witchcraft in order to better gather limited resources.The folk customs are aggressive because the living environment is too harsh.And these are not for those fame.If it is the current imperial court, whether it is Dali or Dayong, as long as it can make the clansman happy and healthy, it will be fine if there is no Five Poison Sect.

But these are only her own thoughts after all.When the explanation fails, they can only be suppressed by force.I just hope that there is one thing they can understand.

The author has something to say: In fact, I procrastinated as soon as I entered V. I procrastinated not only for updates, but also for the plot.

Therefore, in order not to disappoint, there are still people who read my contradictory and inferior article, so I decided to change it.

Many people think that the heroine's character is not enough.There are so many Mary Sues, I actually never thought about writing that.But it's not a threat. If you talk too much, maybe I will write it instead.

scare you...

I really want to write about a little woman, a little woman who has some courage and knows something, but has no grandeur, nothing to gain, and even a little woman who often pretends to be a tiger.

She had never killed anyone, and the only death she had witnessed was her own mother.If you also count her own words.

I hope to write about her growth and her final home that does not conform to the characteristics of cool articles on the Internet.

She's not evil and actually has a lot of innocence.

She is also not kind. In fact, she has become a professional vixen with no future. She is more suitable for fighting in the backyard.If there is no gold finger from Seven Embroidery Workshop. [Then what are you doing for her?Forget about writing house fights. ]

However, I don't want the story to follow the reader's thoughts.

If you read too many articles, you will have a habit of thinking.If the protagonist has a golden finger, then it will either kill the Quartet, or be self-respecting and self-improving.

If the protagonist does not have a suitable gold finger, he will do as the Romans do. It is time to fight against the house, and it is time to develop business and develop business.

However, the times are limited by the times, and not every protagonist has such a thought.

What I want to write is what I really want to express.Therefore, everyone should take a closer look!

By the way, after this book is finished, it will make revisions to Niangburen and Femme fatale, and then the three books will be customized together.

Most of the content must be added to the online version, and at the same time, some vague things will be re-explained.

For example, femme fatale, the content of 40 words will be expanded to 80 words.After all, 40 words can't explain things clearly!

Those who like to collect and hope to read different versions can look forward to it.

In addition, I will collect and sort out the top [-] readers who have subscribed to my works for a long time.

Then after finishing this book, I will announce the news on my personal column.The e-books of the Red Chamber Doujin series will be presented as gifts.I hope that when the time comes, everyone will pay attention to the notice.Well...it's basically winter too, so don't worry!
