Fortunately among the misfortunes, Douyazai took the medicine given by Wu Xi and stayed there until dawn. Finally, he stopped vomiting. He lay on the bed covered with a quilt, his face turned pale, and he looked as if he had just experienced a serious illness.
According to the original plan, we were leaving today, but Dou Sprouts couldn't go down to the ground, so I told the boss about the July crawl.
With a calm expression on his face, he said to me: "Let Dou Yazi recover peacefully and stay the same. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for him."
I was still afraid that my backer, Brother Biao, would fall, and then the leader would come in with his men and hack us to death. I waited in fear until about nine o'clock in the morning, when Brother Biao came to me with a cigarette in his mouth and was coaxing him to come to me...
I quickly asked: "How is the situation, the leader...?"
"What can we do?"
Brother Biao flicked the ashes of his cigarette, spread his hands and said, "What else can I do here? If you can fool some people the first time, you can fool them the second time. Don't worry, keep your heart in your stomach."
, live here with peace of mind, nothing will happen."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked: "How is your brother doing?"
"It's okay. It's better than last night. I drank two large bowls of porridge this morning and didn't vomit."
"Okay, that's fine! Young people have to open their mouths to eat. As long as they have a good appetite, no disease will be a problem!"
"So, do you plan to stay here for an extra day or two?"
Thinking of what Baotou said, I nodded and said yes.
"Um."
He rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said: "We have the same goal. The enemy is all in July. I have betrayed him. So this time I have to go all out and kill him no matter what. I tell you to hurry up.
Collecting the corpse wax, the only chance we have to see him is to deliver the corpse wax."
"Do you have a gun?"
He suddenly came over and asked in a low voice.
I was stunned and nodded slightly
.
Brother Biao narrowed his eyes and said, "You come with us. The July Climbing Meeting will check the quality of the corpse wax delivered. That's an opportunity. Then you can suddenly shoot. Don't hesitate to shoot him to death."
He continued to whisper: "If I kill Qiyuecun, my status in the tribe will be even higher. At that time, if I say one, it will be one, and if I say two, it will be two. No one will dare not listen to me."
, I’ll marry twenty fucking wives.”
After saying that, Brother Biao's face turned slightly red, as if he was looking forward to some kind of beautiful scene.
In fact, sometimes I feel that being a man of his level is really good. Although he is not tall and looks average, he is capable and we cannot accept it.
In a civilized society, without being secretive, marrying twenty wives openly? Who would dare to think?
Xiaoxuan has a hard mouth but a soft heart. Although she and Dou Sprout quarrel and fight all day long and call each other by their first names, when something goes wrong, Xiao Xuan takes good care of Dou Sprout.
.
At noon, while we were eating, Brother Biao came in a hurry again.
"Brother, have you finished eating? Didn't you tell me about watching Snow Bazhu last time? Now I just have the chance, why don't you watch it?"
I said, look, something that has been mysterious for thousands of years, of course you should learn about it if you have the chance.
If you don’t read it now, you may never know its secrets in the rest of your life.
"Then come with me quickly."
This tribe is an ethnic group, with at least hundreds of people, just like the Hute people living in the Alxa Desert. Although they are out of touch with civilized society, they also need some things that civilized society has, such as some treatments for colds and fevers.
Special effects of western medicine, iron tools, table salt
, jewelry, etc.
Don’t women need to change that thing every month? I heard from Brother Biao that now all the young girls in the tribe have begun to use it. His four wives still use the famous brand Leerya. It was all done by Brother Biao.
.
In the past, they just used a piece of cloth as a pad, which was quite unhygienic and I thought it would not be comfortable.
It costs money to make these things in the tribe. In addition to selling some sheep in fixed seasons, the traditional handicrafts made in the tribe are also one of the channels for cashing in. They mainly include silver jewelry, authentic sherpa beads, and three-color U-shaped hats.
This hat is the name I gave it. It is a high hat in the shape of a "U". It is placed upside down on the head. The color is composed of red, yellow, blue and three colors. There are holes on the left and right sides of the hat, where peacock feathers and various other materials can be inserted.
Bird feathers, in addition, the Sherpa people will punch a hole in the front of their hat and tie it with a hemp rope to tie a row of silver coins, which are old silver coins from the past. The numbers of these silver coins are all odd numbers, like 3, 7, 11, and so on.
There is an issue of National Geographic magazine that interviews the Sherpas living in Chentang. The girl on the cover is wearing this kind of hat. I personally think the combination of bird feathers and coins is very beautiful and full of exotic style.
There are several people in the tribe who are responsible for making this kind of handicrafts. They have a unified name, "Gela", which means a clever person.
When we arrived at the place, we saw two wooden houses not far away surrounded by a fence.
There was a big pot set up in the courtyard. It looked like something was being burned. There was thick smoke and no one could be seen.
Brother Biao patted me and said, "Did you see that? There is smoke there. Sherba Zhu is boiling in the pot. Old Gera has a very bad temper. Please try not to talk to him later. If you have any questions, just ask him directly.
Ask me, I know everything."
I nodded and followed him.
When I got there, I saw a pot of "dark water" boiling in a large iron pot. It was opaque, very thick, and bubbling from the fire, accompanied by...
Black smoke.
I think the color is a bit like boiled corpse wax? If the mysterious thousand-year-old sherpa beads are made of corpse wax, who will lead whom to death?
I was watching curiously when an old man came out of the house. He was dressed in ragged clothes and had a brass pipe pot in his mouth. He was smoking. He was Lao Gra.
Brother Biao took out a septwolf and handed it over, smiling and greeting people. Lao Gela looked at me sideways.
"Brother Biao, what's cooking in this pot?"
"This, I don't know this either."
Brother Biao immediately said: "It's okay, I'll ask you."
After asking Lao Gela a few questions, Brother Biao immediately said to me: "This step is to mix the materials. Crush the ore used to make ordinary colored glaze, add water and boil it. It will take three days to cook, and today is the last day."
I frowned and asked, "Isn't that right, Brother Biao? It's so black. How can the glazed ore be this color? If it is that thing, it should be gray-white."
Brother Biao asked again and said: "Lao Gela said that you need to apply a base color first. The base color is black. Only by doing this can the sorbet beads look redder. The reason why they are so black is because he added four
Jin of hematoxylin powder.”
Sappan powder?
In my impression, this seems to be something that can be dyed in ancient times. During the Western Han Dynasty, some people used hematoxylin powder and cinnabar to paint ancient tomb murals. It can occasionally be seen in some large ancient tombs in the north.
I asked if you could demonstrate it again?
Lao Gela was reluctant at first, so Wuliwala said a few words loudly, which I couldn't understand, but it felt like he was swearing.
Brother Biao took him aside and chatted for five minutes, and finally agreed to let me watch the complete process at the cost of three packs of seven wolves.
But I have to abide by a rule, and I also swear that the whole process I saw will not be spread to anyone else, otherwise I will be punished.
