Chapter 235: Passing on the Ordinary Things (1)
Prevent and control the epidemic, overcome poverty, oppose piracy, support authors, and support genuine reading.
Miao Miao respectfully thanked her with a bow, walked to her and stretched out her hands, the hostess poured cold stream water into Miao Miao's palm, Miao Miao washed her face for a while, and rinsed her hands several times.
Immediately, Miao Miao took the kettle from the hostess's hand, walked a little farther away, poured the spout to his mouth, he tilted his head and rinsed his mouth, and spit it out.
"Gurgling---- Gurgling----"
"Gurgling---- Gurgling-----"
After washing several times, I felt that my mouth was much fresher and the smell of alcohol was gone.
This time he came to Wusun Mountain, he and Bahati forgot to bring toiletries, so they can barely make do with it in the past few days.
At this time, the old man Halik also came out of the adobe house, and Miao Miao asked the old man in the morning.
The old man looked at Miao Miao with a smile, then walked to the door of the yurt, pushed open the wooden door and looked inside, and laughed silently.
Old man Halik returned to the adobe house, and after a while he came out again, he saw Miao Miao standing and waiting with a washpot, and he was going to pour water for Old Man Halik to wash.
The old man walked up to Miao Miao with a smile and handed Miao Miao something, Miao Miao quickly put down the kettle, and took the two full, thick and textured teeth with both hands.
Miao Miao was overjoyed and said, "Wolf teeth?!" Or the wolf king's wolf teeth?! Or the upper teeth?! ”
Miao Miao heard his father tell him that the wolf king's wolf teeth are about 6 centimeters long, and these two wolf teeth are the teeth of the wolf king, which are very similar to the upper teeth.
Halik stretched out his thumb to Miao Miao and said approvingly: "Yes, young man, at first glance, I recognized it as the wolf king's wolf teeth, and I could see that it was the upper teeth, it seems that these two wolf teeth are really related to you, give them to you and the girl in your heart, one for each person." These are the upper teeth of the wolf king, each 6.3 centimeters long. ”
The ecstatic Miao Miao clasped her hands together, clamped the two wolf teeth in the palm of her hand, and thanked the old man Halik respectfully.
Miao Miao knew the meaning of the wolf tooth given to him by the old man Halik, and made the wolf tooth into a pendant and wore it on his chest, which meant to go to the demon and subdue the demon.
The wolf's tooth has always been a talisman for the Kazakh people to keep safe and auspicious, and it is said that it can bring good luck, wealth, career, love, and good luck in school.
Old man Halik asked Miao Miao to quickly collect the two wolf teeth, Miao Miao took out a few napkins from her pocket and carefully wrapped the wolf teeth.
He couldn't put it down and stuffed it into the breast pocket of his jacket, zipped it up, and then gently patted the wolf tooth in his pocket, and he was safe and sound.
Seeing Miao Miao's caution as if she had won a treasure, the old man Halik laughed and said heartily: "Young man, when you and your beloved woman have a balangzi, come up to me on the mountain, and I will send a wolf tooth to your balangzi." ”
The old man turned his head to look at the yurt and reminded: "You know about this wolf tooth, you know it, I know, and God knows it." ”
Of course, Miao Miao understood the meaning of Old Man Halik's words, nodded vigorously, and then he lifted the kettle and poured water into the old man's palm, and asked the old man to wash.
Yerboli's wife had already made breakfast, and she walked to an empty grassy slope to the west of the house with a sheet-like package in her left hand and a pot of milk tea in her right hand.
She chose a fairly smooth grassy slope and spread the sheets evenly, Miao Miao walked over with the old man Halik, only to see a few pieces of naan, two small bowls, and a few pieces of mutton that had not been eaten last night on the sheets.
Seeing the old man Halik sitting cross-legged around the sheets, Miao Miao also sitting cross-legged under the old man, and Yerboli's wife had already poured the hot milk tea.
An old man and a young man chewed the milky dried naan, drank fragrant and rich milk tea, and talked and laughed.
Old man Halik said that he should have eaten breakfast in the yurt, but the boys were all drunk, so they reluctantly ate breakfast on the grassy slope.
Miao Miao looked around at the beautiful scenery around her and said happily: "Having breakfast here, the flax brand is very (Ningxi vernacular, very good), which is the most intimate contact between human beings and nature." ”
Overhead is the blue sky and white clouds that can be touched, and in the distance are a few galloping majestic horses, docile and quiet flocks of sheep.
There are also Miao Miao and the old man sitting cross-legged on the grassy slope with milk tea, one old and one young sitting on the prairie, like a beautiful landscape painting.
Miao Miao found that Halik during the day and the old man who was drunk and singing last night were almost like two people, he was hearty and optimistic during the day, and he was a little more dull and melancholy at night.
At this moment, the old man Halik was drinking fragrant milk tea while telling Miao Miao the story on the grassland.
The old man opened his mouth and laughed heartily, laughing from the depths of his chest, and Miao Miao felt that it was an unattainable and primitive laugh of grassland life.
The old man Halik pointed to the flocks of sheep in the west eating grass in the green meadows, bleating from time to time, and said proudly to Miao Miao: "See, our Ningxi lamb's small life is very vigorous, they eat Chinese herbs under Wusun Mountain, drink nature's mineral water, and pull out all the Liuwei Dihuang pills." ”
Miao Miao listened to the metaphor of the old man's image, laughing and rolling on the grass, he continued to listen to the witty and interesting story of the old man Halik, laughing and laughing heartily in this vast prairie as he listened......
It didn't take long for Old Man Halik and Miao Miao, two old and young people with a difference of almost half a hundred, to become New Year's friends.
The old man who was very interested in talking told Miao Miao some allusions to the Kazakh nation, although Miao Miao grew up in this multi-ethnic gathering area and also understood the folk customs of different ethnic groups, but he knew little about some allusions.
It turns out that the Kazakhs mean "white swan", which represents purity, freedom, and beauty, and according to the ancient legend of the Kazakh people, they are the descendants of the white swan.
The Kazakhs are the only people in the world who do not have beggars or orphans, and if an accident happens to a family, when a child loses his parents, he or she will automatically be adopted by a close relative or a friend.
In the Kazakh community, the behavior of raising the children of relatives and friends, there is no moral pressure, no legal constraints, everything is so natural.
The adopted child does not have an inferiority complex under the fence, the child can get a share of the property when he grows up, and of course he also has the obligation to support the elderly.
No matter how poor you are, no one in the Kazakh tribe is a beggar, and even if the lazy man spends his money today, he does not want to beg.

After the two finished breakfast, Miao Miao accompanied the old man Halik to clean the sheepfold behind the earthen house.
When it was time for Bahati and Yusupu to have lunch, they staggered up from the yurt, and Han Cheng was still asleep.
Miao Miao and Old Man Halik carried shovels and cleaned the small sheepfold behind the adobe house, which was specially used for pregnant ewes or lambs to be slaughtered.
In the space of about 50 square meters, about 20 centimeters of sheep manure was piled up, and in the cleaning process, almost all of them were done by Miao Miao alone, and he asked the elderly old man Halik to stand next to him to rest, talk to him, and chat to pass the time.
