Li Yi sighed, supported her with both hands, and wanted to stand up, but as soon as her legs and feet moved, there was a heart-piercing pain.

The Qiang girl sat up, looked at Li Yi, and said shyly: "You have hit your foot, I'll just straighten your joint." ”

Li Yi also felt that his left foot was dislocated, so he nodded.

The Qiang girl held Li Yi's left leg, stretched out and pulled her two small hands, staggered and forced, and when she heard a crisp sound, the bones were reset.

"Yi Shao!" Qian Duo's roar came from that side: "Are you okay?" ”

Li Yi stood up with the support of the Qiang girl, waved his hand, and shouted, "I'm fine!" The ropeway basket is rotten, and you can only turn down the hill from that side! ”

Qian Duo answered, and Liang Fengping turned around and got into the car.

Li Yi turned his eyes and looked at the Qiang girl.

The Qiang girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, graceful and beautiful, with black hair, small cherry lips, and big round eyes, as if she can speak. She is dressed in a plain national costume and looks very different.

Li Yi looked at her, she was also looking at Li Yi, and asked curiously, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "Let's have fun, enjoy this beautiful scenery, experience the simple local people, and see how beautiful this person is compared to flowers." ”

The Qiang girl's face was slightly red, and she said, "Can you walk on your legs?" ”

Li Yi tried to walk and said, "It's okay." Xiexie: You. This hanging basket is broken, what should the villagers do when they come and go? How do I fix this? ”

The Qiang girl said: "Wait for the people in the village to come and repair the haode." I'm going to call someone. ”

Li Yi said: "You want to go over, right?" ”

The Qiang girl said, "Yes, I'm going to find someone." ”

Li Yi wanted to wait for Qian Duo and Liang Fengping, so he sat on a stone and waited.

The Qiang girl trotted to call for someone to repair the hanging basket.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, someone came with tools and took down the hanging basket for repairs.

Li Yi leaned over to talk to them, but found that none of the villagers spoke Mandarin.

The Qiang girl also watched from the side and said with a smile: "The average villager doesn't understand Mandarin. Only children who have gone to school will say it. ”

Li Yi said: "How many schools do you have here?" ”

The Qiang girl said: "There are several villages near us. There is only one school, and the farthest students have to walk ten miles of mountain roads. ”

Li Yi said: "Then are you still in school?" ”

The Qiang girl shook her head: "No." I didn't go to school after I graduated from junior high school. High school has to go to the county seat, it is too inconvenient to go back and forth, the tuition is expensive, and the money for accommodation and meals is also more, and the average family here cannot afford it. ”

Li Yi asked, "Then you villagers here." What do you mainly rely on to make money? ”

The Qiang girl said: "Farming, planting vegetables." I can't make much money. Keep yourself fed. ”

Li Yi saw that she spoke clearly. Polite and felt close. I had nothing to do, so I chatted with her.

During the conversation, Li Yi learned that her Fang name was Wu Suzi.

Most of the names of the Qiang people are associated with nature, preceded by natural things, followed by "ji" (son) or "zi" (daughter) to indicate gender.

Non-vegetarian. It is a name given to the sheep horn flower by the Qiang people.

Li Yi asked, "Croissant?" What kind of flower is that? ”

Wu Suzi smiled: "It's the azalea you talked about, in the spring." It's all over the mountains. ”

Li Yi said: "I know, a very beautiful and simple flower. Just like your innocent smile. ”

It was the first time that Wu Suzi had heard a man praise his appearance, and he replied shyly.

"My name is Li Yi, Muzi Li, the perseverance of Yi." Li Yi saw that she was so shy, so he diverted the topic.

When he came here, he breathed in the fresh air, and when he saw the simple and generous villagers, who had just survived the catastrophe, and were in a particularly comfortable mood, he couldn't help but spend two sentences, but thinking that the other party was just a girl in the mountains who had never been in the world, and should not say these words to her, he stopped his mouth at the right time. …,

Wu Suzi said: "You come here to play, where do you live?" Where to eat? ”

Li Yi said: "There is no place to live for the time being. ”

Wu Suzi said: "Then go to our house!" My family is very hospitable, and when guests come to the village, they will come to my house for dinner! ”

Li Yi asked, "Are you the owner of the village who is in charge here?" ”

Wu Suzi smiled: "My father is the owner of the village. ”

Li Yi was surprised: "Really? Then I'll have to visit him. ”

Wu Suzi said, "Wait a minute, I'll take you there." ”

Qian Duo and Liang Fengping arrived here more than an hour later, and the hanging basket had not yet been repaired.

Wu Suzi looked at the sky and said, "I'll take you to the stockade first." ”

Li Yi said: "Aren't you going over there to do something?" ”

Wu Suzi smiled: "I'm going to play with friends, forget it, I can go another day." ”

The road leading to the stockade was very narrow, and after the car drove forward for a while, it could only stop on the side of the road, and a few people walked towards the stockade.

This is a Qiang village that has maintained its original style, and a large group of people live together, and the houses are continuous, forming a huge village. The village is surrounded by fertile fields and fertile land, and beyond that, there are boundless mountains.

The houses in the stockade are still in their previous style, and most of them are civil structures.

After seeing the living conditions of the farmers in the village, Li Yi understood what Liang Fengping said to himself, this is indeed the poorest place in Mianzhou!

Compared with Yunan Township, the poverty here is the real poverty.

This is a kind of poverty that comes from the bones, where the transportation is not convenient, the material is extremely poor, and the villagers basically rely on self-sufficiency in living materials.

The villagers could not find a way out of life because of the remote location and the lack of literacy and education, so they could only stay on the land for generations to make a living.

What surprised Li Yi even more was that there was not even electricity here! Not to mention appliances such as TVs! And the phone is like a toy here, because there is no signal at all!

Li Yi couldn't help but think of Tao Yuanming's famous "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", the life here is similar to the paradise described in the Peach Blossom Spring, right?

The village here is a small society.

They have their own folk customs, their own etiquette, their own clothing, and even the New Year, are different from other ethnic groups, the Qiang New Year's Festival, is the first day of the tenth lunar month every year!

And Li Yi and they came at a good time, because tomorrow happens to be the first day of the tenth lunar month.

Wu Suzi's father is the owner of this village, he can speak Mandarin, has seen the outside world, and warmly received Li Yi and the others.

In Wusuzi's family, there are grandparents, parents, and an older brother and a younger sister. Her brother's name is Hivubuki, which does not mean mountain, but son or man, and Riwo Buki, which means son of the mountain.

Her sister's name is Mei Sizi, Mei Si, which means the sun in the Qiang language, and Mei Sizi, which means the daughter of the sun.

The Qiang people do not have their own national script, and they use Chinese, but they have their own language. The Qiang language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family, which is divided into two major dialects, north and south.

The names of the Qiang people are all translated from Chinese, so they sound somewhat close to Tibetan names.

As his name suggests, the people of Rivu Buji are very tall and strong, like small mounds. Mei Sizi is sweet and cute, she is two years younger than Wu Suzi, but she is slim and slim, and she is as tall as her sister Wu Suzi. She is still in the second grade of junior high school and has to walk a long way to school every day.

The owner of the village is called Ridamuji, which means "cloud" in the Qiang language.

Hita Muji is very talkative, and he speaks Mandarin with a strong local accent, and Li Yi has to listen hard to justify what he says. …,

Although communication was a little difficult, it was still not a problem and we had a good conversation.

Li Yi asked them, what are the difficulties in life? What is needed? How is the government taking care of this?

Hita Muji is a very contented peasant, he said that everything is fine, there is food and clothing, the standard of living has increased several times compared with before the liberation, the government has sent agricultural technicians to guide them in agricultural production, now the grain output has doubled, no longer hungry.

Although in Li Yi's view, their living standards are very low, but they themselves are very satisfied with this living situation, and they don't have many ideals and dreams, as if as long as they can live so well, it is the most haode life.

When Li Yi and Zhida Muji were talking, the others were watching from the sidelines, and Liang Fengping acted as Li Yi's temporary secretary to record their conversation. Sometimes when Hita Muji couldn't express certain meanings in Mandarin, Liang Fengping helped translate.

Because there was no electric light, in order to save candles and oil, the people in the village had dinner very early.

Although the life here is very hard, the meal that the owner of the village entertained Li Yi and his party was very rich, with fish, meat, and a chicken.

Li Yi knew that this meal might be the living expenses of the Rida Muji family for a few days or even a month, and expressed his sincere gratitude to them for their hospitality.

After eating, the sun went down to the west mountain, and the night fog rose in the owner of the village, and the shouts of mothers calling children back could be heard from time to time.

When sleeping at night, Li Yi refused the kindness of Rida Muji to give up the bed, and the three of them set up a bunk in the attic and stayed for the night.

The next day is the New Year Festival of the Qiang people, and everyone wears festive costumes to celebrate various festivals such as mountain sacrifices.

Li Yi saw the colorful and beautiful national costumes worn by the Wusuzi sisters, and when he asked, he realized that they had embroidered it themselves. Liang Fengping said that Qiang embroidery is a very unique embroidery art, which is famous on shijie.

After spending a Qiang New Year in the village, Li Yi set foot on the way back to the city.

On the return trip, Li Yi deliberately went to sit on the cableway gondola again, this time the gondola has just been repaired, it looks very strong and reliable, Li Yi has the experience of the last time, and sat down very smoothly.

This experience later became the most memorable trip of Li Yi's life. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
