Chapter 159: Miao noblewoman
The phoenix said to me with a smile on his face, and his steps hurried towards the stockade. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huilong Village, located in the middle of Xiangxi, is about ten miles away from Chenzhou City, in the entire history of Xiangxi, it has always been a well-known village.
Most of the inhabitants here are Miao people, and they are a very old branch of the Miao people.
According to legend, during the period of the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, this village already existed.
In other words, it is at least 5,000 years old.
And the ancestors worshiped by the Miao people are the famous Chiyou, so the Miao people in Huilongzhai can basically be said to be the descendants of Chiyou.
But the real development and growth of this village has to start from the Ming Dynasty, according to legend in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, there was a martial champion in Huilong Village, which was reused by the imperial court.
After this martial champion became famous, he did not forget to give back to his neighbors, and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to build Huilongzhai into the largest Miao settlement in Xiangxi.
Later, after 600 years of wind and rain, although the times are constantly changing, the vicissitudes of life are just a flick of a finger, but fortunately, Huilongzhai is still standing on the land of Xiangxi, and contributing its own strength to the inheritance of Xiangxi culture.
If Phoenix Ancient City is a bright pearl on the land of Xiangxi, then Huilongzhai is a soul of Xiangxi culture.
When the three of us walked into the stockade, it was already an hour later.
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and usually the rural people were still working in the fields at this time, so after entering the village, there were no other villagers walking around.
The woods of Limby stand quietly on both sides of the path, and occasionally a few barking dogs and chickens can be heard, and the village looks a little hollow.
But it all seemed incomparably harmonious.
There is a kind of Tao Yuanming planting beans under the south mountain.
"Sister Phoenix, when we were on the mountain just now, it didn't seem to be very far, why did we walk for so long to get there?" I asked as I kicked my breath.
"Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, you don't understand this truth, of course you don't think it's too far from a distance, it's enough to walk up, after all, this is a mountain road, do you still want to walk on the ground?"
Phoenix said with a roll of her eyes at me.
"Well, then take me to your house for a while, I'm almost so tired that I collapsed to the ground!" I urged loudly.
"Follow me!" The phoenix replied softly, and walked quickly towards the west side of the village.
Long Xueyan and I followed suit.
After walking for another five minutes, the three of them had reached the westernmost part of the stockade, and if they went any further, they would have to go up the mountain.
Not far from the foot of the mountain, there is a two-story stilted building standing quietly, there are no weeds around, and it is far away from the other buildings of the village, which seems to be a bit secular and independent.
This stilted building looks like it covers a wide area, and the preliminary estimate is about two acres of land, and there are no other buildings around it, so it looks particularly grand.
"Sister Phoenix, are you going to take us there to sit on stilts?" I pointed to the room in front of me and asked with a blank expression.
"That's right, the stilted building in front of me is my home!" Phoenix responded briskly, with a clear hint of smugness in his tone.
"Oh, your house is so special, there are no other buildings around, it seems to be very sudden, why is that?" I continued to ask curiously.
"Of course, our family has been the patriarch of Huilongzhai for generations, and his status in the village is extremely high, and the place where he lives is naturally different." Phoenix responded with a light smile, and there seemed to be a little pride in his tone.
"Ah, you are the daughter of the patriarch of Huilongzhai?" I looked at her with wide eyes.
Long Xueyan also glanced at the phoenix in surprise after hearing this, as if she was quite curious about her identity.
"yes, what's so strange about that, my origins are a bit insignificant compared to you."
"Yiyang, you are the heir of the Bai family, although I haven't seen any ability from you so far, but with your grandfather's prestige, it is enough to scare a large number of people to death in Xiangxi, so why should you be arrogant?"
"As for this sister............"
Phoenix pointed to Long Xueyan as she spoke, and continued: "She has a unique temperament, she doesn't even make a sound when she walks, and she walks like a fly, and she is very good at light skills. ”
"Just now, with a light palm in the tea shed, she can knock a master like Lao Jintou out of the air, and spit blood in her mouth, you can imagine that her kung fu must be extremely handsome, so you are not ordinary people, why marvel at my background?"
The phoenix said eloquently, and I and Long Xueyan were both admired.
I can't imagine that there is such a non-secular girl in this small Miao village, which is really rare.
What's more, in my impression, Miao women are usually ruthless and ignorant.
But when I think about it now, it seems that my thoughts are the real ignorance.
While we were talking, the three of them had come to the door of the wide stilted building.
Before he could get closer to the house, Phoenix had already shouted loudly, "Grandma, I'm back!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged woman came out of the room, her steps were unusually fast, and she looked like a practitioner.
And her dress is also quite peculiar.
At that time, after all, agriculture was the main source of income, so the average Miao people only wore ordinary coarse linen clothes, and only attended major traditional festivals, such as the Panwang Festival.
And this woman who came out of the stilted building was dressed in a red Miao suit, and the cuffs were deliberately depicted with gold threads depicting a golden phoenix, with the iconic silver jewelry of the Miao people on her head, plus a pair of red phoenix eyes were extraordinarily spiritual, and the whole person looked extremely mediocre and luxurious.
Judging from her outfit, she is either rich or expensive, if it was placed in ancient times, at least the lady of the Tusi family would be qualified to wear it like this.
When Long Xueyan and I both looked at the middle-aged woman intently, the phoenix had already flown to the middle-aged woman, shouting Grandma, and quickly pounced into the woman's arms, like a small bird.
The middle-aged woman caressed Phoenix's black hair lovingly, and asked reproachfully and lovingly: "Phoenix, where have you been in the past few days, your father has sent several groups of people, but they have not found you." ”
As soon as Phoenix heard the middle-aged woman's question, she immediately whimpered and cried, crying and saying angrily: "I went to the mountains to collect medicine a few days ago, but I was kidnapped by two people for no reason, if it weren't for luck, I guess I wouldn't have had the chance to come back to see you again." ”
"Ah, who is so bold to dare to tie up my daughter, is he impatient to live! The middle-aged woman's face changed when she heard this, and she asked in a deep voice.
