That night I watched something I shouldn't have watched, and Xiaoxuan's face turned red. She turned around and scolded me for being a hooligan, but the problem was that I could still see her when she turned around.
I was so disturbed by this incident that I had no intention of taking a shower, so I just wiped my face randomly.
On the way back, neither of us spoke at first, but as we were approaching the tribe, Xiaoxuan suddenly turned to me and said, "You just saw it, you have to take responsibility."
I'm stupid, I admit it, I didn't see anything just now. Her hair was wet, and she kicked me angrily.
At that time, the word scumbag was not popular yet. If it was, I think I should be considered one.
After staying in the Hute tribe for a few days, we experienced the unique tribal customs of the Hute people. On the last day of every month, the Hute tribe holds a fire ceremony.
The fire ceremony is held in the open desert area. The Hute people will smash more than 300 wooden piles into the ground. Each wooden pile is more than one meter high, and a coal lamp will be placed on the top of the wooden pile.
The Hute people connected all the wooden piles with ropes, and finally buried a poplar tree trunk in the center to create a maze in which people could walk back and forth.
The old tree trunk in the middle of the maze looked old at first glance, and some tribal symbols were painted on the trunk with red paint. I asked Aji what was painted on the old tree trunk, and Aji said that the pattern protected the Goat God of the Hute people.
On the last day of the month, Yazai Xiaoxuan and I participated in this event, but we didn’t know what to do. He had locked himself in his room these past few days and been studying the problems of Blackwater City.
We walked around in the wooden pile maze, and we had to be careful about touching the kerosene on the wooden piles. Aji walked in front of me, and Dou Sprout Xiaoxuan followed closely behind me.
After walking in circles for about ten minutes, we arrived at the central area. Aji put his hand on the old tree trunk and said something. He said it twice, the first time in their language, and the second time in Mandarin to us.
, meaning let us do it.
What he said was: "If you touch Lao Gan, your waist and legs will not be sore. If you touch Lao Gan, the sheepfold will be full."
I thought it was quite interesting, so I followed the instructions and followed the local customs for good luck.
After participating in the fire festival, it was around nine o'clock in the evening when I returned home, so I gathered everyone together for a meeting.
"I have been researching for a few days," Tuo looked at us and held out a finger. "If we can find Heishui City in Xixia, I plan to set a time limit for us, just one week. If we can't find anything valuable after a week,
If we don’t have enough stuff, we’ll go back home.”
Qin Xingping nodded, "I think so too. It would be a pity not to check it out after we have come this far. It depends on our luck. By the way, how are we going to get rid of that guide? It's not that the Special Forces Department is looking for this for us, I'm talking about the old man
open."
After thinking about it, he said: "I will send Lao Zhang back tomorrow and tell me that we will stay in the tribe for a long time to do folklore research. And Yunfeng, how about the tool guy inspection?"
"No problem. I've checked it. Everything I brought from Handan is there. Yesterday Yazai and I went to get water. We can leave at any time."
The next day I found Lao Zhang and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, please go back first. We have to stay in the special department for long-term interviews. It may take a month or two. You still have work. It's not good to keep delaying you like this."
."
Lao Zhang thought for a while and said: "It actually takes so long. I thought you would stay in Yinchuan for a few days and then go back to Yinchuan. In that case, I will go back. I will tell the president about the camels when I go back. Please pay attention to your safety. You can't do it when you go back."
Let the clan leader send someone to deliver it."
"No problem," I shook hands with him, "We all agree on how much the camel fell into the mine, and we won't make it difficult for you, Uncle Zhang. Pay attention to safety on the road."
He left in the morning. More than two hours after Uncle Zhang left, we were ready to leave.
Hu Lu from Hute was our guide. Because Hu Shu couldn't speak Mandarin and couldn't communicate directly, he took Aji with him.
The place we are staying in has already entered the uninhabited land. Aji said that except for his tribe, few outsiders come here. From here, we ride camels and go deeper, and Alxa becomes even more desolate.
When he left, Aji also took his mobile phone with him. There were no power banks at that time, but the mobile phone had a long standby time. It could last ten and a half days without charging. Aji would take out his mobile phone to play games at night, including Thunderbolt 2000. Sometimes I watched
He was too good at coaching him, and I told him that thunder and lightning doesn't work that way. How can you hit the opponent's aircraft if you can't take bullets? But Aji often didn't take it seriously, saying that I didn't take bullets on purpose, and that I was practicing my skills.
