He and Guicaopo arrived at the nursing home around nine o'clock, so I pretended to be popping popcorn to see if the call was genuine or not, and if it was really Master Wu.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost half past nine that day.
A beam of car lights flashed in the distance, and when I walked in, I saw clearly that it was the car that Mr. Wu drove when he left.
I quickly ran over and blocked the car.
"What are you doing?" the driver asked.
I looked at the window and shouted: "Are you popping popcorn? It costs one dollar a pot."
The window rolled down and Mr. Wu said: "Get out of the way."
Finally confirming that it was me, I took off my monkey hat.
"I, it's me, Master Wu."
Mr. Wu was stunned and asked what was going on.
I got in the car directly and said, "Master Wu, don't drive forward. The nursing home is not safe. It's a long story. Let's talk somewhere else."
Master Wu frowned and said, "Xiao Liu, go out and go to the express hotel parking lot."
The car turned around and left Ginkgo Street.
Only then did I notice that there were two more people in the car, an old lady wearing Miao costume, probably in her sixties, with large round earrings on her ears.
There was also an older man in the car. Judging from his gray hair and wrinkles on his face, he was probably in his seventies at least.
Mr. Wu introduced: "This is Gu Po from Dahoushan Village in Guangxi. She and Alan were sisters before. This is Jin Miao from Luoping County. With them here, your problem should be solved."
"Hello, you two." I greeted quickly.
The old man and the old woman just looked at me and didn't reply.
"They don't understand Mandarin. You are lucky. I originally thought it would be good to invite Gu Po, but I didn't expect that Jin Miao from Luoping County also knew Alan when he was young, and they are all willing to help you."
Jin Miao is not a personal name, it is a title in the Miao village just like Gu Po.
Do you remember that I told a little story before? There was a reason why I told that story at that time. It was the story of the Philosopher's Stone standing on the Jinsha River. There was a strange man who could control pigs to help find gold mines.
That person was Han, and a few generations later his descendants became Miao people. The descendants of that person are the old Jin Miao in the car.
He has a very high status in the Miao village, even higher than Gu Po. Even if the Miao village chief sees Jin Miao, he must be respectful to him. That's why Mr. Wu said that I am lucky.
In the deep mountains of western Guangxi, the Miao language of Dahoushan Miaozhai Village is very special, with Guizhou-Dian accent. What they speak is a fusion of Tibetan language and Miao-Yao language. It is somewhat similar to the language spoken by the Qingmiao people in eastern Yunnan, but its meaning is different.
It's different, very special, similar to Cantonese and Sichuan dialect, some of which have similar pronunciation.
In Cantonese and Sichuan dialect, wear shoes (hai), go out to the street (gai).
Gu Po with big earrings spoke very fast. He suddenly pointed at me and started talking a lot.
Master Wu's expression changed, and he said in broken Miao dialect, please speak it slowly. If you speak it too fast, I can't understand it. (Master Wu can say this because his wife, Alan, is from Miao Village in Dahoushan.
)
"What does this mother-in-law mean?" I asked.
Mr. Wu said: "Po Po Gu said that she saw that there were worms in your stomach, and she could help you get rid of them, but there is one condition."
When I heard this young lady say that I had worms in my stomach, I got scared and quickly asked: "What are the conditions? If you want money, you can, she can just give me a number."
Mr. Wu said with a strange expression: "I really didn't expect this. Grandma Gu said that you are good-looking. After curing you, you want to go back with her and marry her granddaughter."
I didn't react for a long time, this is too outrageous!
I said: "Master Wu, did you hear that right? The Miao people still want to intrude on the door? Then I will no longer be a son-in-law!"
