Four burning fires emitted soaring flames, illuminating the large banquet lined up outside the ancestral hall of Samba Village under the entire night sky.
The young men and women of the Qingyao ethnic group sang and danced, dancing and singing unique melodies belonging to the Yao ethnic group, to celebrate the return of their little clan leader, Zhao Ling, who had been under house arrest by the Bai Yao ethnic group for ten years.
On the fire, four strong, skinned wild boars were being roasted until they were fat and dripping with oil.
During the banquet, the table was filled with fruits and delicacies, accompanied by home-brewed rice wine, and they exchanged cups with each other. It was really lively.
Chu Nan and Yudie sat next to Zhao Ling, enjoying the treatment of the patriarch's distinguished guests.
Since he was the savior of the clan leader, he naturally received warm hospitality from the Qingyao people at the banquet. The wine was drank like water, which made Chu Nan, who was overwhelmed with alcohol, feel dizzy and did not dare to drink any more.
Already.
Zhao Ling, who was sitting on the main seat, was not in high spirits during the whole banquet, but he just accepted everyone who came to propose a toast.
The whole banquet was in full swing, and the special banquet of ethnic minorities opened Chu Nan's eyes.
"I said you can drink well?
How can you still be so calm after drinking so much?"
Chu Nan glanced at Yudie who was sitting quietly next to him. Seeing her unmoving and still cold expression, he couldn't help but admire her, "It seems that the killer not only has good skills, but also has a first-class drinking capacity, right?"
Yudie glanced at him coldly and said calmly, "Drinking has nothing to do with being a killer. It's just about the amount of alcohol you drink."
"Then let me ask you, how much can you drink at most?"
Chu Nan asked curiously, "You can't be drunk after a thousand cups, right?"
"I've never been drunk yet."
After Yudie replied perfunctorily and domineeringly, she frowned and said, "Don't forget the business, you agreed to help Zhao Ling and the others so that you can consult and guide local people like them, but I found that you arrived
When I came to this village, I didn't even mention this matter.
how?
Want to delay?"
"No, no, I didn't find a good time to speak!"
Chu Nan was startled and hurriedly denied, "How could I want to delay time? I still have the poison you fed me in my stomach!"
"As long as you know."
Yudie glanced sideways and said, "Have you had enough to drink?
If you have had enough wine and food, you can go and ask now."
"That's not right, why do I come forward every time?
Why don't you ask if you're not okay?"
Chu Nan said with some dissatisfaction, "Am I becoming your coolie or something?"
"You are my prisoner, your life is in my hands, what do you think?"
Yudie's emotionless words left Chu Nan speechless, and he gritted his teeth angrily and helplessly, "Okay, okay, you're awesome, I can't fight you.
Just ask, who is afraid of whom?"
Making a face at Yudie, Chu Nan's eyes fell on the Yao girls dancing happily in front of the fire. He found that like Zhao Ling and the women he saw at the entrance of the village in the afternoon, their chests were also hollow, and there were no clothes inside.
If you wear any underwear, you can basically confirm that Yao women really don’t have the habit of wearing underwear?
But why do the Yao people have such weird customs?
Doesn’t this make women feel shy if they always show off their spots?
"Brother Chu, what are you looking at?
Look at the curious look on your face."
At some point, Elder Pan came to Chu Nan with a bowl of wine and smiled mysteriously at him, "How is it?
Aren’t our Qingyao women pretty?”
"Uh..." Chu Nan smiled awkwardly, "Elder Pan was joking, a woman raised in such a good landscape must be beautiful, so there's no need to say that!"
"How about it?
Are you interested in becoming the son-in-law of our Qingyao people?"
Elder Pan smiled evilly and said, "There are a few beautiful girls in our village who are very interested in people outside!"
"No, no... Elder Pan, don't be joking."
Chu Nan was startled and said hurriedly, "I already have a girlfriend, I'm just curious..." "Curious?
Oh, I understand, you must be curious about why this Yao woman's dress has a hollow chest, right?"
Elder Pan smiled and said, "And there is no... underwear to cover it?"
Chu Nan didn't expect Elder Pan to guess the key point right away, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
"Don't look at me like this, I am also a person who has seen a lot of the world, and I have met a lot of friends outside this mountain.
They are just as curious about this issue as you are."
Elder Pan clinked the bowls with Chu Nan, drank the wine in one gulp, then patted his shoulder and whispered, "We are all men. You can't ask this kind of question to a girl like the clan leader. Of course you can ask me."
It’s no problem!”
"Haha, I'm just, just a little curious."
Chu Nan's face turned red with embarrassment. This elder Pan really... understands foreign guests... After taking a bite of the wild boar meat brought by the tribe, Elder Pan said with a smile, "Actually, this is nothing, the costumes of the Yao tribe.
It has not been modified since ancient times. The reason for this custom is mainly because the Yao people were the earliest matrilineal society and worshiped motherhood. Women's fertility is the most important factor in the reproduction of the ethnic group. Therefore, breastfeeding is the most important factor in the reproduction of babies.
Naturally, the organs were highly respected, and over time, the custom of wearing no inner clothes and hollow outer clothes became established.”
"So that's it..." Chu Nan finally understood. It turns out that the Yao people are the products of worship. No wonder they dress like this.
"Haha, if you don't understand anything, just ask. There is nothing I don't understand even in the mountains!"
Elder Pan put his arm around Chu Nan's shoulders and said affectionately, "Are you coming to the mountains for tourism or for something else?"
"I?
Haha, it’s mainly for traveling, and I want to look for other things by the way.”
Chu Nan thought for a while, but did not dare to tell his true purpose directly. He lied tactfully and said, "I have been yearning for this place, Shennong, for a long time."
"Haha, in this big mountain there are only trees, what's there to look forward to?
How can it be compared to the Chinese people outside you, who live in big houses in big cities, live a prosperous life, and can do whatever they want with wealth. How can it be like us here, where there are so many ethnic fights, fighting and killing, Xiao Ming said
Just throw it away..." Elder Pan poured a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp. He burped and said, "I really envy you Chinese people... In the past, the farthest I have ever been to is a small county outside the mountains.
I think it's a great place, and everything you need is available.
But when I went to the real big cities of you Chinese people, I realized what it means to be a frog in a well! Those high-rise buildings, that kind of enjoyment... I'm so envious..." Listening to Elder Pan's words of envy, looking at the expression on his face
Chu Nan was so fascinated that he didn't know why he always felt weird.
Isn't this guy an elder of the Qingyao tribe?
Why do you yearn so much for the colorful world outside?
It can be seen that the desire in his heart is very strong, but such a person... can actually stay in this remote village with peace of mind?
"Elder Pan, have you ever been to a big city outside the mountains?"
Chu Nan asked tentatively, "Do you like it there?"
"I like it, of course I like it! It's a pity that I'm from the Yao people. I don't have the money or ability to establish myself there. Otherwise... uh! Otherwise, I would have settled in the outside world."
When Elder Pan said this, his eyes shone a little, but he quickly calmed down.
"Haha, that's not difficult. After all, even if you are a member of the Yao people, you are still a citizen of the Huaxia Kingdom. You can travel freely in the Huaxia Kingdom."
Chu Nan smiled and said, "If you have the opportunity to come to Southeast Province, I will definitely take you to have fun."
