Xia Xun has been observing the people in this village all the way. Most of them have deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, and hair that ranges from black to yellow. Going further, there are more adults, and there are women who are drying their fishing nets.
There are men who are whittling furniture out of Populus euphratica wood... Except for pots, almost all the utensils they use every day are made out of Populus euphratica wood. Therefore, everyone has learned to chip away at wood furniture since childhood.
Look at these adult men and women, their clothes are also simple, but their appearance is upright and handsome, but the adult women are also tall and strong. The beauties from the Central Plains who are as delicate as willows cannot be seen here.
Suleiman laughed heartily: "You people outside, you are right. When I walked to the sandbank, the wealthy families and merchants over there were really scheming with each other. Well, well, I will just follow you. I
I'll help you secretly inquire about the news!" As he said that, he blinked at Xia Xun and Liu Yujue with a childish innocence, as if he thought it was very interesting to secretly momo like this.
The two sides chatted for a while, and Suleiman led the two of them to his second son's residence. It was also a wooden house with red willow branches in front of the fence and no bolts or locks on the door. It was like a paradise in this paradise.
There are only these people living in the village, so there is no need for such things. Pushing open the courtyard door, you can enter the hall.
As the sun set, a hunter came back from the village. It was Gu Zaili's father and brother. They hunted a yellow sheep. The whole village was as happy as if they had encountered a great happy event, and they were seen wandering around the village.
Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were baffled. It seemed that in this quiet place, some very ordinary things could be celebrated as a big happy event.
It wasn't until dinner that they understood why the whole village was so happy, because Gu Zaili went door-to-door and invited the whole village to taste roasted whole lamb. Here, although the property was private, to a large extent, they
It still retains some habits of the primitive tribes, and it is customary to share some good things with the villagers.
In the square in the center of the village, the villagers worked together to pile up a pile of Populus euphratica branches. After the branches were burned into charcoal, they dug a big hole in the middle and buried the whole sheep in it. Immediately afterwards, the whole village
The family moved all kinds of food, tables and chairs to hold a big banquet. The chairs were made of poplar wood, the table was a larger poplar wood block, and the cups, bowls and plates were all made of poplar wood. The variety of food was actually lackluster.
The main dish is still fish prepared in various ways, and the drink is fresh beef nǎi.
When the roasted lamb, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, was dug out, torn into pieces and served on a wooden plate, and served in front of everyone, the feast arrived. Someone played the tempura made of birch wood and wore dyed clothes.
The girls in colorful skirts danced heartily to the music, and soon the men joined in. Not only the young men, but also many old men with white beards also danced flexibly.
Although Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were brought back in rags as if they were called huāzi, they were still regarded as honored guests by the simple villagers and sat on the chairman's chair. Liu Yujue looked at everything in front of him and was attracted by the happy mood of the villagers.
Infected, he sighed with infinite fascination: "Brother, I think this is the paradise on earth. I really want to live here and never leave for the rest of my life!"
"perhaps!"
Xia Xun smiled, but his eyes were extremely clear: "Perhaps, this is the paradise on earth. But you only see their happy side, but you don't see the hardships they live here. If they see the prosperity of the Central Plains, what will happen if they see the prosperity of the Central Plains?
Why wouldn't you yearn for it? Everyone thinks that others live better than themselves, but in fact everyone has his own luck and misfortune. We have our own lives and our own responsibilities!"
Xia Xun turned around, his face was half-dark in the blazing fire. Behind his shoulders, firewood and sparks blown by the wind were flying in the night sky, as if they were more distant than the stars in the sky.
, Xia Xun said word by word, very seriously: "We have something we want to protect, so we can't give up! Hardship and torture can't change us! Youhuo, neither can!"
"yes!"
Liu Yujue looked at Xia Xun with admiration and even admiration. In his heart, his brother Yang's will was as firm as a rock. With him, he would always have a backbone and would never have to worry about being lost.
direction!
In another camping place, in front of the campfire, Ying Zhan smiled fondly at his beloved wife Miao Yi, who was lazily nestled in his arms: "Haha, I said it's boring in the desert, why do you want to come with me?
So, are you feeling bored now?"
He stroked his beard and said: "We'll have another day's rest tomorrow and then we'll continue on the road. Let's do this. I'll ask a few people to accompany you tomorrow to visit the village of the Luobu people. The small village here is actually
