"Grandma, then don't you just recognize Yiyang as your godson? Phoenix's unthinking proposal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I've heard people say that Miao people are very bold before, and today I really realized that even such a thing as recognizing a son can be said at will, which is really a bit laughing and generous.

But in such a scene, I naturally couldn't laugh out loud, so I could only bow my head embarrassedly and wait for Grandma Phoenix to speak.

"You crazy girl, what are you talking nonsense, Yiyang is the grandson of Bai Renshi, where are we climbing, hurry up and have breakfast, you will leave early after eating, and strive to invite the three elders of the Wang family to come out of the mountain as soon as possible."

Grandma Phoenix said as she filled a bowl of porridge for each of us, and then instructed us not to be polite and to take whatever we wanted.

Long Xueyan and I were a little restrained before, but seeing that Grandma Phoenix was so enthusiastic, the two of them were no longer polite, picked up the porridge on the table and drank it in a big gulp.

After thirty years of drinking, Grandma Phoenix put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at me, Phoenix and Long Xueyan, and said slowly: "I went to the third grandfather's house last night and asked him about some things about the three elders of the Wang family on Huilongshan. ”

"Yes, Grandma, what did the third grandfather say?" Phoenix asked a serious rhetorical question.

It is not difficult to see from the serious expressions of Phoenix and her grandmother that this third grandfather should be a highly respected person in the village, so that whenever his name is mentioned, Phoenix can change his naughty nature in the past.

"He said that the three elders of the Wang family are living under the Fallen Soul Ridge in the deepest part of Huilong Mountain, and if the three of you want to go up the mountain, you must pass through the Niuxingba Reservoir, then cross the Gulan Peak, and finally reach the Fallen Soul Valley."

"Although this road does not sound dangerous, in fact, no one has walked this road for more than ten years, and the people in the village know nothing about the specific situation above."

"So, when you go up, you must pay attention to safety."

"Just in case, when you go out later, I will give each of you a seedling knife, so that even if you encounter wild boars and other animals, you will not be caught off guard."

"In addition, Phoenix, when you pass by Gulan Peak, you must not stay in the Wujia Cave on the peak for many years, remember, remember!"

When Aunt Phoenix talked about the Wujia Cave at the end, it was almost word by word, and even I, an outsider, could feel the difference of that cave.

"Grandma, don't worry, I know that this is a forbidden place in the clan, and only Granny Pan can enter it, and we will try to bypass that hole." The phoenix straightened up and replied cautiously and slowly.

Judging by the look on her face, she seemed to be quite afraid of the hole.

A breakfast is eaten in the midst of such conversations.

At this time, the sun has also risen in the sky, and looking out from the lobby, you can see the sunlight quietly sprinkled in the woods outside the door, giving people a sense of peace, and the weather should be very good on this day.

"Alright, you three get ready to go!"

Grandma Phoenix commanded unhurriedly, and at the same time turned around and walked to the inner room, and soon took out three Miao knives and handed them to us one by one.

Long Xueyan didn't plan to take a Miao knife, after all, with her skills, there seems to be little difference between having a knife and not having a knife.

But Phoenix reminded that there might be wild boars on the mountain, and it seemed easier to deal with those guys with rough skin and thick flesh with a Miao knife, so Long Xueyan took the Miao knife.

Before going out, Aunt Phoenix told us about the relevant matters again, and then reluctantly sent us out of the door.

Under the eyes of Aunt Phoenix, the three of them walked in the direction of the entrance of the village.

At this time, the sky is already shining brightly, and the golden sunlight is spread all over the stilted buildings of all colors, just like sitting in the Buddha hall, solemn and sacred.

The early birds were already looking for food on the trees in the village, and when they saw pedestrians passing by, they occasionally let out a few crisp cries, as if they were greeting pedestrians.

Rural people in Xiangxi are generally more industrious, and most of them have already gotten up to do farm work at this point in time.

Walking on the sheep intestine road in the countryside, you can see men, women and children wearing Miao clothes in twos and threes plowing in the fields, and there are also some little girls following their brothers and sisters to catch fish on the edge of the paddy fields, the whole atmosphere is extremely harmonious, so I can't help but dare to Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring".

A few years later, when I think back to this scene, I still have some trance and reverie, will the legendary Peach Blossom Spring refer to Huilongzhai?

The article once mentioned: "In the Jin Taiyuan Dynasty, the Wuling people took fishing as their ............"

And Huilongzhai was originally located near Wulingyuan in Xiangxi!

So I've always been a little skeptical, maybe Tao Yuanming's mysterious Peach Blossom Garden refers to the Miao people in Huilongzhai.

Of course, these are all later words, so I won't show them here for the time being.

I looked at the young ladies in the field and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Phoenix, it's so strange!" ”

"What's wrong with Yiyang, is there any problem?" Phoenix looked at me curiously.

"Look at those pairs of sisters and brothers, how come they are all one sister and one brother, and the eight children playing in the field are exactly four boys and four girls, and there seems to be no superfluity, do you all have a son and a daughter here?" I asked, holding out my little hand as I counted it.

"Haha, Yiyang, you actually see the problem?" Phoenix asked with a light smile.

"Yes, you guys are really good landscapes here, is it true that every child born in every family is a son and a daughter?" I looked back at Phoenix with curious eyes, expecting her to answer for me.

"Yiyang, what you said is not wrong, we do have a son and a daughter in every family here."

"But it's not necessarily, if someone wants to have an extra son, then they can have an extra son, if they want to have an extra daughter, then have an extra daughter, anyway, these are not difficult things."

Phoenix replied casually, as if giving birth to a son or a daughter was a very easy thing in her eyes.

But I'm more puzzled, it stands to reason that in that era, there was no way to know the sex of the fetus, but why did Phoenix say that whoever wanted to have a son could give birth to a son, isn't this too fantastic?

With a thirst for knowledge, I continued to ask, "Isn't it predestined to have children, and can you artificially interfere with them?" ”

Hearing this, Phoenix responded proudly: "Of course, it is impossible for you outsiders, but in our return to Longzhai, this is a very common thing. ”

"In our village, mother-in-law Pan has the final say on giving birth to children, as long as anyone wants to have children, she will carry a basket of eggs to Granny Pan's house, she will naturally have a way to let those who come to beg her give birth to sons or daughters as they wish, and she has never missed it for so many years."
