Human beings are social animals, and have been so since ancient times, because apart from a smart head, human beings are at the bottom of the food chain regardless of their shape or body structure in the cruel nature. To survive, they must live in groups.

We unite closely to face natural disasters, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts everywhere.

The Miao people live in remote mountains and fields, so they need to unite even more, so they have formed large and small Miao villages. The place where Aqing and the others live is one of them, and the scale is not small, with more than 500 people.

, According to Ah Qing himself, their Miao village is the largest Bai Miao village among the ten miles and eight townships, and his father is the chief of the Bai Miao people in Linjiang County.

Let's say that Gao Bufan and others followed the Aqing brothers and sisters back to the Miao village, which immediately attracted great attention. The Miao people came to see what was new, pointing, nodding, whispering, looking curious, doubtful, wary, and even hostile.

.

Yang Qingruo couldn't help but frown, and Gao Bufan was also a little uncomfortable. As the saying goes, the more unified a group is internally, the more likely it will be more exclusive. This will also be the case in later generations, and Gao Bufan understands this deeply.

At this time, an old man with a gray beard walked over on crutches. He must have a high status in the village, because when the Miao people saw him, they all bowed their heads and moved out of the way.

"Second uncle." Ah Qing and Ah Yu immediately asked respectfully when they saw the old man.

The old man looked at A Qing and others, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Why are you injured?"

Ah Qing said angrily: "I just met Meng Zhuan outside the village, and we got into a fight. Even my sister was slightly injured."

The old man angrily raised his cane and said: "Son of a bitch, this guy Meng Zhuan is getting more and more arrogant. He actually ran outside our village to look for trouble. Where is he now? He immediately called everyone to raid the guy. This time he has to kill this guy."

The kid beats the shit out of him."

Gao Bufan didn't understand the Miao language, but when he saw the old man's ferocious look of choosing others to devour, he vaguely guessed something about it, and couldn't help but secretly sweat that even the old man here was ruthless.

Ayuan supported her second uncle who was shaking with excitement and comforted him: "Second uncle, please don't get excited. We have not suffered a loss. Meng Zhuan has been beaten away by us and our friends, but he may continue to take revenge, so everyone should be more vigilant and don't be alone."

Go out."

When the second uncle heard this, he immediately said happily: "Well done, I will break his legs next time he dares to come. By the way, Xiaoqing, how did you bring these Han people back to the village?"

Ah Qing said quickly: "Second uncle, is Brother Gao our friend?"

"Friends?" The second uncle was deeply suspicious. After carefully looking at Gao Bufan, Yang Qingruo and others, he whispered: "The Han people are cunning and hypocritical, greedy and dishonest. You two brothers and sisters, please don't lead the wolf into the house."

The A-Yu brothers and sisters couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Fortunately, Gao Bufan and others didn't understand Miao language, otherwise they would have been even more embarrassed.

"Second uncle, don't talk nonsense. Brother Gao is really our friend. He saved our lives and just helped us fight off Meng Zhuan!" Ah Qing said a little unhappy.

The second uncle snorted when he heard this, but the wary look in his eyes did not disappear.

"Second uncle, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I still have guests to greet, so you can wander off on your own!" A Qing said and strode over.

The second uncle rolled his eyes, looked at everyone's back and muttered: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences before your eyes. How can the Han people trust you?"

The Miao people live in bamboo houses on stilts, which use bamboos as pillars to support the entire house, about one or two meters above the ground. This has the advantage of preventing moisture and snake venom.

The village in front of me is built in a river bend, backed by hills. The houses are arranged from low to high, one on top of another. It looks chaotic, but in fact it is orderly. According to Aqing, the higher the status of the clan, the more houses.

Then they built it higher and higher.

Gao Bufan and others walked up the winding dirt road, and gradually reached the top of the hill. Then they pointed to the highest suspension bridge corridor: "That should be your home, right?"

Ah Qing shook his head and said: "No!"

Gao Dahe chuckled and said, "Isn't it said that the higher the terrain, the higher you should live? Your father is a chief, shouldn't he live there?"

Ah Qing grinned and said: "The highest status in the tribe is not the chief, but the wizard. The house at the top is the residence of our Bai Miao wizard."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, the brother and sister Ah Qing finally stopped in front of a stilted building. The former shouted in Miao language: "Dad, we are back."

The door of the Diaolou opened in response, and a middle-aged Miao man wearing a coat came out. He was stunned when he saw Gao Bufan and others, then frowned and asked: "Who are they? Ah Qing, Ah Yu, how can you do this?"

Are you just bringing outsiders back to the village?"

Ah Qing was obviously a little afraid of me, so he didn't dare to say anything. However, Ah Yu told what happened. After hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes became kind. He cupped his fists at Gao Bufan and said, "I'm going to beat Ah Rong, Han."

My name is Miao Ronggui. I would like to thank the two young masters for saving my son and daughter. I am deeply grateful!"

The middle-aged man spoke Chinese very well and had a good conversation. He was obviously a man who had seen the world.

Gao Bufan raised his hand and returned the greeting: "Mr. Miao's words are serious. I'm Gao Shijie. This is my younger brother Gao Xiaofan. I'm traveling to Sichuan. Thanks to Miss Ayu's invitation, I stopped by to visit and have a look. Sorry to bother you!"

Miao Ronggui glanced at his daughter in surprise, then at Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo. He immediately knew what was going on and waved his hand, "It's okay. It's our village's honor for these two young masters to come here."

After saying that, he turned around and told the two Miao people behind him: "Go and prepare accommodation and food for the guests. Don't wait any longer."

The two Miao people left in response, and Miao Ronggui warmly invited Gao Bufan and others to sit in the room.

After everyone chatted for a while, the two Miao people came back to report that the residence had been tidied up, so Miao Ronggui stood up and said with a smile: "You two noble gentlemen are tired from traveling and traveling, so why not take a rest first and wait for the food and wine to be prepared?

A certain house will entertain two more people."

Gao Bufan agreed with a smile, and then followed the two Miao people to the hotel to rest.

As soon as Gao Bufan and others left, Miao Ronggui asked the Aqing brothers and sisters in detail how they met Gao Bufan. After listening, he fell into deep thought.

"This Gao Shiji speaks calmly, is quite experienced in dealing with people, and his martial arts skills are so good that he can hold his breath underwater for two sticks of incense. He should not be an unknown person." Miao Ronggui frowned and said to himself.

Ayuan nodded and said, "My daughter thinks so too."

Miao Ronggui's eyes flashed and he said: "Ah, you are very clever. What do you think Gao Shiji's purpose is in coming to our village? It shouldn't be as simple as traveling!"

Ah Qing scratched his head and said, "Are you overthinking my father? It was obviously my sister who took the initiative to invite me."

Miao Ronggui glared at his son and said, "Your sister is just being polite. If the other party didn't mean it, how could he come to this remote place like ours?"

Ah Qing Digu said: "Our place is remote, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful. What if people come to visit us? Not all Han people are bad people. Brother Gao is my good friend."

Miao Ronggui raised his hand and gave his son a slap in the face and said, "How long have you known me? Brother Gao, brother Gao, is more affectionate than dad. Don't count the money for me when you are sold."

Ah Qing immediately fell silent, but he felt quite disapproving of it.

At this time, Ah Yu said: "I heard from my elder brother that Gao Shiji has something important to do when he enters Shu."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Miao Ronggui asked quickly.

A-Yu shook her head and said, "The other party didn't say anything."

Miao Ronggui glanced at his daughter and asked in a low voice: "Ah, that Gao Xiaofan saved you, are you attracted to him?"

Ah Yu's face turned red and she said with a smile: "It's nothing, Dad, don't talk nonsense."

Miao Ronggui said doubtfully: "That's good. The Han people have too many concerns and have too many interests involved. It's best not to have anything to do with them. Let's just recruit them and wait for a few days before sending them away."

Ah Yu made a sound and lowered her head a little secretly. When Miao Ronggui saw this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he ordered: "You are tired too, go back and have a good rest."

Brother and sister Ah Qing nodded and went back to their residences to rest and change clothes.
