The excitement in the village stopped when Bai and Song were sent to a bamboo house built above a stream.
There is a stream below the bamboo house, and there is a stone wall surrounding it. All the Miao people watching the excitement can only poke their heads outside the stone wall to look inside.
There was only one girl who stood out. She was squatting on the wall, holding a piece of grass in her mouth. She was dressed in waxy yellow, wearing a winter coat woven from animal skins, and a velvet hat. She looked inside with a completely different look from the Miao girls.
This is not like a girl, but a wild boy who is active in the mountains and forests.
Only her towering breasts marked her gender. Her figure was hot, not soft and curved. She looked like a she-wolf in the mountains, flashing sharp but curious eyes.
Bai Song was in the room and looked at her through the window. With just one glance, he remembered this maverick Miao girl.
The other party seemed to have noticed Bai Song's gaze, biting his lower lip, revealing a pair of white teeth, thoughtfully.
At this time, the leader of the three men rudely pushed her down from the stone wall in the courtyard, and then shouted loudly to the people outside: "Everyone is gone, the patriarch said, in the presence of these three people
No one can approach without permission before their identity is confirmed. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with according to the clan rules."
The so-called clan rules seem to be very lethal.
The spectators quickly dispersed.
Then the man entered the bamboo house and said seriously: "You are here, you can't leave the yard."
"Didn't you say that it's okay as long as you're inside the village?"
"Not for now." The man said seriously.
Aling asked again: "When can it be done?"
"Wait until the clan leader questions you."
When people are under the roof, they can only follow each other's rules.
This is the foundation of the Miao people, and we will inevitably need the help of the Miao people in the future.
What Bai Song wanted to do was to enhance the relationship with them as much as possible instead of creating conflicts.
Bai Song agreed.
The man left a few things wrapped in palm leaves and said, "This is your food. Someone will give you what you need later."
After saying that, the man left.
Bai Song looked at the palm leaves and thought of the insects yesterday. Although he was very hungry, his stomach was still churning.
Qing'er was still the same, with a look of disgust on her face and didn't even intend to look at it.
Ah Ling picked up one and opened the palm leaves.
There are not colorful bugs inside, but snow-white glutinous rice cakes.
The whole place exudes a slight heat and a faint fragrance of rice.
Bai Song and Qing'er's eyes lit up.
Quickly pick up the food on the ground.
There is even a small bamboo tube filled with golden honey.
Bai Song hadn't felt hungry for a long time, and this time he ate not very decently. In the end, he had to lick all ten of his fingers clean.
A full meal gave Bai Song a shot in the arm.
After eating, I lay comfortably on the ground, listening to the gurgling stream below, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It is said that the Miao people are xenophobic, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. They look quite fierce, but in fact they are quite good to us."
"We Miao people are not actually xenophobic, at least not the young people. We are just the heads of various tribes. For the safety and stability of the village, we are unwilling to contact outsiders. When I met other Miao people in Xintang, I heard that there are some villages in Miao territory
Private schools have been opened for Miao children to learn Chinese, but I don’t know if this is true.”
Bai Song didn't say anything more and squinted for a while.
After resting, Bai Song broke the calm again and asked in a low voice.
"Do you know where Snake Island is?"
After entering Miao territory for so long, Bai Song found that he had forgotten to ask this most important question.
Aling whispered: "I just heard from the old people in Miao territory. I only know where it is in the deepest part of Miao territory."
"We have already fallen behind others. How long do we have to wait to find out about Snake Island?"
The original plan was to go directly back to A Ling's village, and then A Ling would ask the people in her village.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them entered Miao territory, they were stopped halfway.
A lot of time was wasted in the middle.
What happened before entering the Miao Territory also informed that others had already entered the Miao Territory first.
So the seemingly calm situation was actually very detrimental to Bai Song.
"It would be great if I could gain the trust of the Miao people in this village." Qing'er said softly.
"The Miao people like Han people. To gain their trust, it would be easiest if you can marry a Miao girl."
A Ling was joking, but when she saw Qing'er, her expression immediately changed and she shut up in embarrassment.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
A beautiful and young Miao girl stood at the door and said, "That man, our clan leader wants to see you."
Bai Song was about to get up. He wanted to meet the clan leader here.
Qing'er was a little nervous and grabbed Bai Song's hand.
"It's okay, I'll see you sooner or later."
"Master, be more careful."
"Huh!" The girl outside was unhappy, "My family leader doesn't know how to eat people."
Then turned around and headed outside.
Bai Song quickly followed.
After the girl walked for a few minutes, Bai Song arrived at the door of a seedling house that was obviously more majestic.
There were several Miao people standing outside. When they came up, they couldn't help but search them.
They took away Bai Song's scimitar, the Japanese woman's dagger, and the crossbow.
Carrying three things with him, he led the way for Bai Song.
Inside the house, Bai Song finally met the clan leader.
The other person was an old man over seventy years old, with colorful graffiti on his face. The old face was painted to look like a baboon and a peacock's butt, which was very weird.
The body looked a little weak and skinny, as if it could be blown apart by a gust of wind.
But all the Miao people are very solemn and respectful.
This performance is even worse than that of the Turks, with a sense of sanctity and inviolability.
"You still don't kneel down when you meet the clan leader!" A young Miao man couldn't help scolding him when he saw Bai Song looking around the room with no respect.
"This is your clan leader, not my clan leader."
"you……"
The other party wanted to argue, but the clan leader above raised his hand to stop him: "No need."
The young man then retreated.
The patriarch slowly moved his eyes towards Bai Song, glanced at Bai Song, and said softly: "I heard that you have a very powerful bow and arrow, can you teach it to us Miao people?"
Bai Song nodded: "That's right."
"Where is that magical crossbow? Can you show it to me?"
"It was taken away by your people."
The people in the Miao village confiscated three things from Bai Song. After the Miao people confirmed it, someone presented the crossbow.
The patriarch looked at the crossbow.
Bai Song was ready to demonstrate in public.
Unexpectedly, the patriarch suddenly stared at Bai Song with a fierce look and said something in Miao language that Bai Song couldn't understand.
All the Miao people in the room instantly cast hostile glances at Bai Song.
Bai Song didn't react. Seven or eight strong Miao people immediately surrounded him and immediately detained Bai Song and knelt down.
"What do you mean?" Bai Song didn't understand. He didn't burst out his true energy.
Until the worst comes to worst, we must not fall out with the Miao people.
