The three of us played all over Yinchuan in those days, eating Tuofeng delicacies and buying brand-name clothes, shopping and buying whatever we wanted. Xiaoxuan bought several pieces of handmade Hui clothing, and Douyazai bought several bottles of expensive wolfberry medicinal wine.
, I asked Douyazai why you bought this at such a young age. Douyazai smiled and said, "Ningxia wolfberry is the best in the country. The boss of the wine I bought said that all the wolfberries are king, and one is worth ten. I
This is preparation for future marriage."
There are two other places that impressed me deeply.
We went sandboarding at Potou in Tengrisha. I don’t know if there is any more sandboarding now. Sandboarding involves two or three people sitting on a wooden board and then sliding down the sand slope. It is very exciting. Another place is Northwest Film and Television
At the base, we went to play on the city wall, which is the earthen city wall where Supreme Treasure and Fairy Zixia met in the movie Journey to the West.
After playing for a few days, I went back and saw Baotou still studying the parchment, so I asked: "Baotou, you have written so many things on the paper, what have you come up with?" .??.
He folded up a dozen pieces of white paper, shook his head and said, "It's too difficult. I went to the Yinchuan Museum the day before yesterday, copied a word on the parchment and asked an associate researcher for help, but he didn't recognize it either."
"You don't know anyone who came from a junior college?" I was a little surprised. Many of the researchers in these local museums are big guys. They have a solid foundation in local historical research. It is difficult to identify the Xixia script, but a small number of people should know it.
That's right.
"Yes," the headmaster sighed: "The researcher's surname was Ma. He shook his head when he saw the characters I copied. He said that this is a special type of characters in Xixia script, similar to palace scripts, and is only used in the small circle of Tangxiang nobles and royal families.
It’s used in, but it’s very difficult to translate it now.”
"Gongwen? Was it also made by Ye Li Ronghen of Xixia?" I knew that it was Ye Li Ronghen who created more than 6,000 Xixia characters.
As they were talking, Dou Sprout came into the room with wine.
"What are you talking about? Tou Tou, try the wolfberry king wine I bought, it's a great supplement!" Dou Sprout smiled and poured a small cup for Tou Tou.
"Yunfeng, you kid should try it too," Douyazai He also poured me half a cup.
He relaxed a lot and took a sip of the wine, which tasted quite medicinal.
"Botou, you mean we can't recognize the Tangut characters on the sheepskin?" I asked.
"There is no sign at the moment," he said, putting his head down from the wine glass, "but in the field of domestic literature and history, there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons. Since Nori Junghito was able to create this kind of writing, I believe someone can translate it now."
The topic turned to the man who created Tangut.
More than 700 years ago, Nori Ronghen was a genius. When Yuan Hao became emperor, Xixia still used Chinese. Yuan Hao was ambitious and wanted to make great achievements, so he ordered his minister Nori Ronghen to create a script that belonged to Xixia.
Nori Ronghen led a large group of scholars to proofread day and night. After more than two years of hard work, he finally created Xixia script based on Chinese characters. Yuan Hao's initial request to him was: "My dear, I hope to
Our own writing is so high-end and unique that people from the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty can recognize it as our Xixia writing at a glance."
Nori Ronghin had to lose all his hair to satisfy Yuan Hao's request. The characters he created were too many and difficult to write. If he were to ask a child to write his name in Tangut now, he would probably be scared to tears just by looking at it.
In addition to inventing this kind of Tangut script that is used by all the people, Nori Eigen also invented a kind of Tangut script that is used by nobles. The meanings of the words in the version are also different, which can be regarded as the pro version of Tangut script.
Nowadays, no one specializes in learning this stuff. They all look like ghost drawings.
The next morning he came to me and said, "How are you preparing everything? Yunfeng has had enough fun. Let's go back to the special department and deliver the things to Aji and the others."
"Everything is ready, but the generator is a bit heavy."
"It's okay. I told Mr. Shang and he promised to lend us some good camels. If nothing happens, I'll bring the camels back in the afternoon and we'll set off tomorrow."
"Okay, oh, by the way, there's one more thing," I turned around and asked as I was about to reach the door: "Those things we have."
He squinted his head and said, "Bring it on."
A few of us went to the camel park to lead some camels. Xiaoxuan was interested. She bought a lot of snacks for children in the supermarket and filled two snakeskin bags. These were gifts for the children of the Hute people.
.
After a night's rest, we loaded the generator dolls, snacks and toys onto the camels in the morning, and we set off around 9 a.m.
I originally planned to call the guide Lao Zhang, but I told him that there was no need to call him. I should remember the route more or less, and the people from the Special Division were also waiting for us, so they probably wouldn't move for the time being.
I actually knew it, but I didn't ask any more questions.
I don’t call him the guide Lao Zhang because the leader will take action this time.
We had two trips back and forth, and our return trip went extremely smoothly this time. We didn’t encounter sandstorms, army ants or anything like that on the way.
We participated in the fire festival a few days ago, and most people in the tribe knew us. We had just passed the Crescent Moon Oasis, and a few sheep herders saw us and ran back to report the news.
Aji came out to greet us excitedly. His eyes lit up when he saw the new generator strapped to the camel's back.
"What's up, Aji? Let me keep my word. The Daewoo generator is many times better than your crappy generator."
Aji was so happy that he helped lead the camel all the way back to the Hute Department.
Xiaoxuan gave Uncle Hu Lu three sets of dolls and one set to the old patriarch’s granddaughter. We also gave all the snacks to the sheep herders.
At dinner in the evening, he winked at me and I nodded and walked out.
The earthen kiln where the Hute people live The caves are in two rows, up and down, with ladders in the middle. The custom here is that all married people in the tribe live in cave dwellings, and all unmarried men and women live in cave dwellings.
When Dou Yazai learned about this, he joked and analyzed: "Isn't a cave dwelling just like a dormitory with bunk beds? Those who are married should live in the bottom bunk. If you live in the upper bunk, it might collapse one day."
"What are you doing, Aji?" I climbed up the ladder and looked into the cave dwelling.
Aji turned around and saw that it was me. He pointed at the generator anxiously and said, "Why doesn't this work? It doesn't spin."
I saw the generator in his cave dwelling and asked if you could carry it up by yourself on a ladder?
Aji nodded and said yes.
I said Aji, you are really awesome. This thing weighs one or two hundred kilograms.
I climbed up and took a look at the new generator we bought, and I immediately saw the problem.
"What can't be used?"
"There's no oil, please add some oil." I said.
Only then did Aji react and poured the diesel in his bucket into the fuel tank.
After adding oil, it caught fire as soon as I hit it, making a loud clicking sound, like a tractor.
I pointed at the generator and said, "Turn it off first! It's too noisy. Let me tell you something."
Aji turned off the generator and asked me what happened.
Turning around and seeing no one around, I whispered: "Aji, do you want a better mobile phone? The new games you bring are definitely more fun than Thunder. I'll get one for you next time."
Aji was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and said, "Are you still going to find Harahot? You want Uncle Hu Lu to take you away, and you want me to be your translator."
I said you are too smart.
Seeing Aji's gloomy face, I thought I had said something wrong somewhere.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Aji's face, and he suddenly came over and shook my hand.
