In the car, Ling Chuchu's expression was a little serious. As soon as Fang Ming got in the car, he started the car and headed towards the airport.
"Let's talk about the specific situation first."
Ling Chuchu took a deep breath and said: "I don't know the specific situation very well. My brother just called me an hour ago and said he was getting married, and then sent me a photo.
I called him back but couldn't get through."
Fang Ming took the mobile phone handed over by Ling Chuchu. In the photo, there were many people in national costumes gathered together, and in the center was a newlywed couple, a girl in red robes and Ling Wei who was giggling.
"It's good that your brother got married so soon. It also saves other girls from harm."
Hearing Fang Ming's answer, Ling Chuchu rolled her eyes, "If my brother really stabilizes and wants to get married, then I will definitely agree, but the key is that this time my brother goes to southern Xinjiang, he will be accompanied by...
He married a girl, but the girl who is now marrying my brother is not that girl, and according to what the girl said, she and my brother were already separated in southern Xinjiang, and my brother was kidnapped by a group of people."
"Mrs. Yazhai?"
"Ya Zhai, you are so big. Anyway, this thing is a little abnormal. I don't dare to tell my grandma and aunt yet. I plan to go over first to see the specific situation."
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. I heard that Miao girls dare to love and hate, and will take the initiative to pursue someone of the opposite sex they like. Maybe some Miao girl will fall in love with your brother. At least these Miao girls are all natural and better than you.
The money-worshiping Internet celebrity girls my brother found who have plastic surgery are much better."
"Fang Ming, after all, my brother is also your cousin. Can you please stop gloating about others' misfortunes?"
Seeing that Ling Chuchu was dissatisfied, Fang Ming didn't say anything else. He just said these words to relieve the anxiety in Ling Chuchu's heart. At this moment, his eyes fell on the photo, and his fingers rubbed on the photo, but the corner of his mouth raised a hint of contentment.
A meaningful smile.
What a coincidence, from meeting the Gu Master in Southern Xinjiang at the resort to the Lover Gu on Li Yushuang, and now he is going to Southern Xinjiang in person, it seems that he and Nanjiang are really destined.
…
Ling Chuchu had already bought her air tickets in advance. This trip was just for her and Fang Ming. The reason why she called her Fang Ming was because she knew there were some mysteries in southern Xinjiang, especially the girl her brother brought there.
Her younger brother seemed to be obsessed with that Miao girl, as if he was possessed by a demon, so she suspected that there might be something fishy involved, so she pulled Fang Ming.
Boarding, taking off...landing.
When Fang Ming and Ling Chuchu arrived at the airport in a certain city in southern Xinjiang, someone was already waiting at the airport. A man in his thirties was waiting there in a jeep.
"Miss Ling, right? Our boss asked me to be your driver. My name is Dong Bo Shi."
Before Ling Chuchu came here, she contacted a local friend and asked the other party to send him a local tour guide and driver to show them the way. In this part of southern Xinjiang, many things are taboo, and having a local person can save them.
Save a lot of trouble.
"Hello, Mr. Dong."
Ling Chuchu was about to shake hands with the other party, but Fang Ming smiled when he heard Ling Chuchu's words. Ling Chuchu didn't know that there was a difference between the Miao people's surnames and the Han people's.
The Miao people pay attention to three generations of single surnames. This one is called Dongbo Shi. In fact, the single name is Dong and the surname is Bo Shi, because the Miao people except the first character is their own name, the following characters are father or grandfather.
Dongbo stone, that is to say, the father of this son is Dongshi x, and his grandfather's name is Shi xa. It means that except for the first character of the son's name, the following characters are the first character of the father.
For example, if the grandfather's name is 123, then the child's name is a12, and the grandchild's name is ba1, and the next generation's name is cba. This is a characteristic of Miao people's names. Only when they are given Chinese names will they have characters.
Senior said it.
In addition, because the Miao people do not have a systematic written language, Miao names cannot be written in Chinese characters, so they are all homophones of Chinese characters. Names like Dongbo Stone have no meaning at all when translated into Chinese characters.
It was precisely because of this that Fang Ming laughed just now. According to the custom of the Han people, Ling Chuchu should call the other person Mr. Shi. To be more polite and cordial, he should call him Brother Dong.
However, Fang Ming did not explain this to Ling Chuchu. The two of them got into the jeep driven by Dongbo Shi and headed in the same direction.
In southern Xinjiang, sometimes trains are not a good choice. On the contrary, off-road vehicles are more convenient here. Dongbo Shi drove for three hours in a row according to the location mentioned by Ling Chuchu, and finally the car stopped in a small town.
Stopped.
Ling Chuchu's expression was a little haggard, but she made a phone call as soon as she got off the car, and soon several young people came towards her.
"You are Ling Wei's sister, right?"
These young men and women, the boys are all very fashionable, and the girls are also very beautiful. This is a combination of rich second generation and Internet celebrity women, and the first one to speak was a girl wearing a long suspender skirt.
The girl was also Ling Wei's companion on this trip.
"Well, what happened to my brother?"
Ling Chuchu didn't like this kind of girl, but she couldn't say anything about them. Everyone has their own way of living, and everyone also has their own ambitions. They want to become a rich second generation. To be honest,
This is the fantasy in the hearts of many girls, but most girls do not have the capital.
If girls don't have this idea, how can those little fresh meat be so popular? How can those domineering articles be so popular, so from this point of view, men and women are the same.
"We came here three days ago because we heard on the Internet that there would be an event held locally. But the day before yesterday, Ling Wei was suddenly fascinated by a Miao girl. Then he followed her without caring about anything.
The Miao girl left, and we wanted to persuade her, but we were warned by the people the Miao girl brought, and those people were very cruel."
The girl looked aggrieved, and the companions beside her also explained that it was not because they didn't stop Ling Wei, but because they couldn't.
"We also called the police later, but the police said that Ling Wei left with others voluntarily, and they had nothing to do with it. Later, I remembered that Ling Wei told me about your job, sister, so I found the customer service number of Guangnian Group from the Internet.
Got you."
Ling Chuchu nodded and continued to ask: "Then do you know where they took my brother?"
"I know, those policemen have been to a Miao village in the mountains. We also wanted to enter the village, but the police were different and only asked us to wait outside the village while they went in to deal with the matter."
"Is this how you handle it?"
Ling Chuchu looked a little ugly. In her opinion, these police officers were too irresponsible. It was very likely that these police officers were facing the local people, and they might even be related to the people in the village.
"What's the name of that village? We're going there now."
"The one called Basha, yes, that's the name. At that time, we said that a village had such a foreign name." A boy on the side answered.
After hearing the boy's words, Fang Ming noticed that Dongbo Shi's expression changed, and there was a trace of fear on his face.
"Okay, then we will go to Basha Village, and you can go back."
Ling Chuchu made a decision quickly, but the young men and women were unwilling to leave just like that. One of the boys said: "Sister Ling, Avi came with us, how can we leave him alone?"
Go back and we will go with you."
"Yes, we have more people and strength, so I don't believe those Miao people dare not to make friends with us."
"Sister Ling, I'm very worried about Avi, let's go together." The girl in the suspender skirt also said with a worried look.
"Okay." Ling Chuchu thought for a while and did not refuse. Indeed, there is strength in numbers. If something happens, it is easier to deal with it.
The jeep that Dongbo Shi drove had three rows, which was enough for four or five people to squeeze in. However, when driving, Dong Boshi seemed hesitant to speak. Fang Ming noticed it and asked with a smile: "Brother Dong
, do you have anything to say, is it related to the Basha Village?"
"Um."
Dongbo Shi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "If the boss hadn't said hello, no matter how much money you gave me, I wouldn't have taken you to Basha Village."
"Why?" Ling Chuchu asked curiously.
"That village is not suitable for outsiders to enter. Even we mature Miao people dare not go there. Basha means lush vegetation in our Miao people. This is a Miao growing village. All the people in the village are growing Miao. Even we
These mature seedlings don't pay any attention to them, and they even hate people from other tribes coming to the village."
There was a wry smile on Dong Boshi's face. He didn't expect that Ling Chuchu was going to Shengmiao Village. If he had known earlier, he would never have agreed to the boss. Shengmiao was unwilling to contact foreigners, and Basha was a
In a typical Miao village, mature Miao people like them will marry people from other villages, and even marry Han people, but people in Basha village will not even marry people from other villages, and men and women will marry in the same village.
People in the village.
"In the past few decades from New China to the present, only two girls in the entire Basha Village have married outside, but they died within almost three years. And no girl from other villages is willing to marry to Basha Village.
Because girls from other villages rarely live more than a year after being married."
Listening to Dongbo Shi's words, Ling Chuchu was a little dumbfounded. If a village is so closed, wouldn't it lead to confusion of blood relations? The final result can only be inbreeding, but inbreeding will cause children to be prone to deformities and premature death. In the end,
There will only be fewer and fewer people.
"I think this is not the reason why you are unwilling to go." Fang Ming looked at Dongbo Stone and said, "The reason why you are unwilling to step into Basha Village is because Basha Village is a Gu village."

I have been to the places in the book and whether I have seen them with my own eyes. Some things I can make up, but some things I hope to be restored and true to the greatest extent. The customs, style... hierarchical system of the Miao people
