Zhuluo Mountain Society, named because it lives on Zhuluo Mountain, and Zhuluo Mountain is actually a mountain peak extending from the west of the Ali Mountain Range.

When Li Tianyang and them arrived, the young people of Zhuluo Mountain, who had already had a good leg and foot, ran back to report the news, if it weren't for Li Tianyang and them who dragged others back, Ma Yao and the mountain people would not have arrived at the village so late. Waiting to greet Li Tianyang at the door of the stockade was Uncle Lahouk, who had dealt with Li Tianyang and them several times, and the bold old man Dahai had not seen him last time, and it seemed that Li Tianyang's arrival was not the attention of the people in the village.

It wasn't that there was no one watching, as outsiders, they were dressed and dressed completely different from the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, and many girls and children watched Li Tianyang and them with curious eyes. There were no oil lamps or lanterns, but torches, and the smell of burning grease was everywhere, which made a group of hungry teenagers swallow their saliva involuntarily.

"Hahaha~~ Your kid finally came to our village as a guest, count your kid as a mouthful, I just hunted a mountain qiang today!!" Uncle Lahok patted Li Tianyang's body bones and swept him around with satisfaction: "This is like a young man, the last time I saw you, I looked thin and sick, I really let me worry about you." I said, the black bear I sent you last time is absolutely nourishing, you kid still need it, tell your uncle, I will go into the mountains to hunt one for you again. "That's, thanks to the black bear sent by the uncle, I can pretend to be so strong so quickly!!" Li Tianyang can't say that when he first met, it happened to be when he was sick and affected, and now this is his normal appearance. For such an enthusiastic uncle, how could he be embarrassed to pour cold water on others and sweep everyone's interest!

"Let's go! Walk! Walk! I will take you to our patriarch, who is waiting for you on the mountain. After the greetings, Lahok took Li Tianyang and their party towards the mountain.

The mountain is not high, it is just a small hill on the edge of Zhuluo Mountain, and the residence of their patriarch is placed on the top of the highest mountain, standing here, the village below is clear at a glance. It's just that it's dark now, and I can only see the light of the fire along the foothills, but I can't see the true face of the village.

The patriarch's house was not very large, it was much simpler than the house built by Li Tianyang, and when you stood outside, you could see faint figures walking inside. And now, after the supplies, in the middle of the room is a raging bonfire, and the figure of an old man opposite appears and disappears between the flickering bonfires; On the left and right, there were several old people who were older and had patterns tattooed on their faces sitting together, including the old man Dahai who had seen him once, and smiled kindly at Li Tianyang who came in.

"Ahmaha!" It wasn't until I walked in that I saw the appearance of the figure opposite, an old man with gray hair and a strange pattern tattoo on his face sitting in front, and at the same time, Ma Yao, who came in together, shouted at the old man.

"Hmm!!" The old man glanced at Ma Yao, and then muttered to him, and Ma Yao put down his things and left the room.

"Patriarch, this is the Li Tianyang I told you, Tianyang boy, this is our patriarch, Biyong." Lahok walked in front, and at the same time warmly introduced his Li Tianyang to the old man.

Originally, I thought that the patriarch of the Zhuluo Mountain Society should be a middle-aged man with strong martial arts, but I didn't expect it to be an old man who was dying, after all, as the young son of the patriarch, Ma Yao was only twenty years old, and his father was estimated to be no more than fifty years old.

"I have seen the patriarch, and I entered Li Tianyang at the end of school, and I am grateful for the care of the patriarch these days, and I came to visit!" Li Tianyang followed the rules of the Zhuluo Mountain Society and performed a junior gift.

The so-called follow the customs of the locals, since he visited sincerely, Li Tianyang also hoped to leave a good impression on others, so he asked Ma Yao and them to learn about the rules and etiquette in their clan. Subsequently, Li Tianyang signaled to the longevity and wealth around him, and sent the prepared gifts.

"Well, yes, it's much better than my kid, come and take a seat, there are no outsiders here, they are all some elders in my clan, I want to see what our neighbors look like." Looking at the boxes of gifts they gave to Changsheng, the old man's mood was obviously much better, and he smiled and pointed to a few simple wooden tables that were empty on the left and right.

Li Tianyang took the teenagers into the seat, the wooden platform was already ready to eat, there were salted boiled meat, barbecue meat and a few fruits and vegetables, although the workmanship was vulgar, and the meat had a fishy smell, but in front of the owner, Li Tianyang They did not dare to have a little dissatisfied expression, and they politely accompanied a few old people to eat and drink without a match, fortunately, the fruit wine they brewed was not bad, sweet and sour, quite some flavors of later drinks.

"You're used to living here, aren't you?" While eating, the patriarch of Biyong asked Li Tian about their situation.

"Life is okay, but the climate is still a little uncomfortable." Li Tianyang is right, in Bengang in winter, the lowest temperature is around jealousy, compared to Tanmen, which is almost summer all year round, it is normal for teenagers to not get used to this season.

"It's good to get used to it, and it's good to stay here for a few more years, isn't it?" The old man said with a smile, and at the same time pointed to the bodies of several old people below: "Look at it, even these old guys who are used to wearing animal skins and animal clothes have begun to learn to wear your clothes, isn't it very easy for young people to adapt to a strange environment?" ”

Following the old man's fingers, Li Tianyang found that in addition to the patriarch Bi Yong wearing a beast skin coat, these old people underneath, as the patriarch said, the clothes they were wearing were obviously new clothes sewn from the fabric in Li Tianyang's camp, with their full face patterns, which looked a little mismatched.

"Hehe, it just so happens that this time we have specially prepared a few sets of gorgeous satin clothes for a few elders from Yuegang, why don't you take them out and try them on for a few elders and patriarchs to see if they fit?" Li Tianyang did prepare dozens of sets of silk clothes this time, as a meeting gift to the patriarch, because he didn't know everyone's size, so he prepared some more and filled a full box.

"Don't worry, wait until you go back and let them choose for themselves, you're still eating!" The old man understated and did not give Li Tianyang a chance to show the gift.

Facing a group of old people, Li Tianyang swallowed unpalatable food while carefully answering all kinds of questions raised by the old people. Fortunately, there is always a time when the song ends and everyone disperses, and I don't know how long it took for Li Tianyang and them to spend the night at a family's house on the mountainside under the greeting of Ma Yao. During this period, Li Tianyang and them were bitten by a bed full of lice and fleas in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, which was a small episode.
