Yulong Village, which means a mixture of fish and dragon, actually has another meaning. Fish and dragon are one of the totems of the Li people. This village, located in the north of Shiwanda Mountain in southern Xinjiang, was originally a gathering place for a tribe of the Li people. Over the millennium,
It was previously snatched away by the Zhuang people through war. As the Zhuang people gradually
Gradually, they began to live a farming life, and their business was doing well, so over time, this Yulong Village became a gathering place for merchants from the Middle Earth and the Western Regions.
Although Ye Xiaochuan and others all changed into the local costumes of southern Xinjiang, the team of more than 100 people, all young men and women, was too unsightly to walk around, so at Ye Xiaochuan's suggestion, everyone was divided into three groups.
Ye Xiaochuan and some other elite disciples, a total of more than ten people, entered the Yulong Village where they arranged to stay first, and the rest were divided into two groups and entered the village one after another.
The villages in southern Xinjiang are similar to the villages and towns in Central China. Some dozens of families gather together to form a village, which is called a village in Central China.
The Yulong Village in front of us is obviously much larger than most of the other villages. It is a mountain as high as a thousand feet. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, it is like terraced fields. There are many houses built on the winding mountain. Since there are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in southern Xinjiang, the structure of the houses in southern Xinjiang has changed.
Very different from Middle-earth.
In addition to stone houses, the most common ones in southern Xinjiang are small wooden loft-like buildings. No one lives on the lower floor, which is usually a pig pen or sheep pen. People live on the second and third floors above.
There is a pigsty again, which can effectively prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants from entering the bedroom.
Walking into Yulong Village, Ye Xiaochuan was stunned by the scene in front of him. Even at dusk, there were still many people coming and going in the winding streets of the village.
He looked at several bearded men from the Western Regions and several people wearing Hanfu walking past, and then looked at the colorful costumes on himself and others, and felt that he and others were just taking off their pants and farting in disguise.
This Yulong Village is very big. Look at the wooden buildings and streets that look like terraces all over the mountains and plains. It is almost as big as a medium-sized city in Middle-earth. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people living here. Follow the bluestone steps all the way up.
Walking up, you can see many shops opened by Han people, most of which are grocery stores selling cloth, pig iron, vegetables, rice, oil and salt. People of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang can buy them with silver, but they rarely spend money. The main black-toothed coins in southern Xinjiang are
It is circulated among the five ethnic groups and makes a living with the Han people here.
However, bartering is more cost-effective, at least that's what they think in their hearts.
For example, if your family lacks a big iron pot, you only need a small piece of blue stone or a small piece of gold ore to get it.
For example, if your doll has grown taller and needs some brightly colored fabrics to make clothes, you can get them with just a small piece of blue stone.
As for the blue stone, which is called jade in the middle-earth people, it is not something that people from the five races should know.
Those Han businessmen traveled thousands of miles to do business in this remote and remote place. If there were not high profits that made them forget about life and death, they would not come.
Soon I found the largest inn in Yulong Village. The name of the inn was written in Zhuang and Chinese characters.
“Yelai Inn”
Seeing this name, Ye Xiaochuan couldn't help laughing.
There are three major chain stores in the world, namely Yuelai Inn, Yihongyuan, and Jiuzhou Qianzhuang. I didn’t expect that Yuelai Inn’s slogan “Wherever there are people, there is our store’s semicolon” is really not true.
There is actually a branch in Southern Xinjiang, and it is the largest inn in Yulong Village.
Ye Xiaochuan suddenly said to the people around him in a very obscene manner: "There is a Yuelai Inn, but I don't know if there is a Yihongyuan. Should we go shopping at night?"
There are people who are even more wretched than him, such as Li Wendao. After hearing Ye Xiaochuan's suggestion, this guy's head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
The more honest and honest guys in Zhao Wuji all showed yearning looks, but Chang Xiaoman dragged him away by the ears. As for Li Wenwen, who was still mumbling about whether to go to Yihongyuan, he was sent away directly by Du Chun.
, let him go out to meet the brothers outside, and tell them to stop hiding their heads and tails. Let alone hundreds of Han people in Yulong Village, even if there are thousands of them, they probably won’t be very conspicuous.
Come and live in the city.
Seeing that visiting the brothel was no longer possible, Ye Xiaochuan and others walked into Yuelai Inn with a lot of pushing and shoving.
As soon as he entered the inn, a waiter came over immediately, speaking in southern Xinjiang dialect that Ye Xiaochuan and others could not understand.
Ye Xiaochuan said helplessly: "Are there any guest rooms?"
The waiter had a look of surprise in his eyes. When he saw these ten people wearing colorful Miao costumes, he thought they were Miao people coming out of the mountains, but it turned out that they were all Han Chinese.
However, the waiter was surprised for a moment, and immediately said in a somewhat broken Chinese language: "Yes, yes, yes, our hotel is the largest inn within a thousand miles. There are many guest rooms. I wonder how many guests need?"
"How many rooms?"
Ye Xiaochuan touched his chin and said: "Fifty rooms."
Of course there are not fifty rooms. Locals in southern Xinjiang rarely stay in inns, only some foreign businessmen. The largest Yuelai Inn only has twenty-five guest rooms.
Originally, Ye Xiaochuan wanted to live with other senior brothers outside the village, but now it seems that this is no longer possible. Fortunately, there are several smaller inns in Yulong Village, so everyone will stay in Yulong Village temporarily for the past few days.
Down.
Ye Xiaochuan booked the entire Yuelai Inn, and the original residents moved out of the inn dejectedly after Yang Shijiu threw out a few leading banknotes from Jiuzhou Travel. Ye Xiaochuan and others sat down
We had three tables, and while we were waiting for the food to be served, we suddenly heard someone screaming. When we turned around, we saw that the person running the hall from before flew out of a curtain and fell to the ground rolling several times.
, when he got up, his face was covered with blood, and he was covering his mouth. It looked like
I lost a few teeth and my nose was bleeding.
Then, everyone heard a man's voice, speaking in Miao language, and he laughed a few times, as if he was laughing at the waiter.
The voice came from a strong man like an iron tower. He was dressed in Miao costume. He was estimated to be eight feet tall, with dark skin and eyes like copper bells. He was holding a giant mountain axe. He was a real man who could stand on his fists and could stand on his arms.
A horse-racing Vajra warrior.
The ax handle was slammed into the ground, and it felt like the earth was shaking.
The giant man walked out from behind the curtain, and the waiter's face turned pale with fear, and he rolled and crawled away.
The giant man laughed a few more times, looked at Ye Xiaochuan and others who were sitting there, and muttered a long paragraph, but Ye Xiaochuan and others couldn't understand, and they all looked confused. He said it several times,
When the giant man saw everyone looking at each other, he thought they were looking down on him, so he became furious. He swung the giant ax in his hand and chopped off Ye Xiaochuan's head.
