Shi Ershan turned around and pointed at the three of them, and stammered: "His name is Shi Yun, his name is Shi Hong, and the one on the far side is called Shi Yueping."
"Shi Yueping?" The middle-aged man glanced at Hu Yueping and asked doubtfully: "This is not a name that we Miao people would give."
After saying that, he moved his gaze to Xiao Yun, pointed at him and asked: "And him, why is his skin so white?"
Among the three of them, Chi Hong practiced martial arts every day and his skin was tanned, while Hu Yueping was born with a dark tan. Only Xiao Yun looked thin and tender, and he didn't look like someone from the mountains.
"This...this..." Cold sweat broke out on Shi Ershan's forehead instantly.
Although Chi Hong didn't understand the Miao language, just by looking at the middle-aged man's aggressive attitude, he guessed that he must have asked some sharp questions.
"Hey Xiao Hu, is it possible that the secret has been revealed? Do you think they would make things difficult for us if they knew we were Han Chinese?" Chi Hong asked in a suppressed voice.
Hu Yueping was also a little panicked.
He was not sure what kind of attitude the people in the Shengmiao Village had towards the Han people.
"Shh, don't talk yet!" Hu Yueping shouted.
But at this moment.
A cold voice sounded in their ears.
"I have been weak since I was a child and rarely go out, so I am fairer than others." Xiao Yun looked calm and answered in standard Miao dialect.
Hearing Xiao Yun speak Miao language, Chi Hong and Hu Yueping were stunned for a moment!
Even Shi Ershan opened his mouth so wide it seemed like he could fit an egg in!
"Teacher, teacher..."
Chi Hong was stunned. Just when he was about to ask Xiao Yun how he could speak Miao, Hu Yueping covered his mouth.
"Then why are you wearing Han clothes?" the middle-aged man asked, narrowing his eyes.
Xiao Yun looked at him without fear and continued to speak in Miao dialect: "There is a girl in our village who married into a Han family outside the mountains. When she came back, she brought these clothes and said she would give them to everyone."
"We are from poor families, so we don't care whether these are Han clothes. It would be nice to have new ones."
Hearing Xiao Yun's eloquent words and his fluent Miao dialect, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment and finally did not ask any more questions.
Seeing this, Shi Ershan quickly interjected: "Master Mazhai, one of us was bitten by a poisonous insect, and after two days of traveling through the mountains, we didn't even have a good meal."
"It's not convenient for my son to stand here and talk now. Why don't we wait until tomorrow when we have rested and then visit you."
The middle-aged man nodded, looked at Hu Yueping, and said: "The eyes are blue, it seems that the poisonous insect is unusual..."
"Just tell me what medicinal materials you need and I'll have them delivered."
Shi Ershan quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Mazhai!"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, stared at Hu Yueping for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Are you mute? You can't even say thank you!"
Although Hu Yueping didn't understand Miao, he could tell from the middle-aged man's tone that he was a little angry.
In addition, the middle-aged man's gaze was very sharp. In an instant, cold sweat started to flow from Hu Yueping's forehead.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Uncle, he can't pronounce clearly and doesn't like talking very much. I'd like to thank you on his behalf!"
"Humph, it turns out he has a big tongue."
The middle-aged man smiled contemptuously, and then told Shi Ershan: "After entering the village, let them stay at your sister's house and don't run around. There is something big going on in the village these two days!"
"Yes, yes!" Shi Ershan replied respectfully.
After giving the instructions, the middle-aged man turned and left.
Seeing this, Chi Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said with surprise: "Damn, Master, you can actually speak the Miao language?!"
"Uh..." Xiao Yun touched his nose awkwardly.
In fact, when Shi Ershan and the middle-aged man were talking in Miao just now, Xiao Yun was shocked that he could understand it!
When the middle-aged man questioned Shi Ershan, Xiao Yun explained with the mentality of giving it a try.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was surprised to find that he could speak Miao language as fluently as he spoke Chinese, as if he was born with it.
But he soon recovered from the shock.
Perhaps, this is because of the inheritance in his body.
However, Xiao Yun didn't know how to explain these things, so he could only prevaricate: "When I was in college... I learned some about the culture of the Miao people in my elective course..."
Chi Hong said in surprise: "Master, your language talent is too good, isn't it? Can you learn Miao language so smoothly?!"
"Well...actually I only know a few words..." Xiao Yun smiled dryly.
Hearing this, Hu Yueping showed a look of sudden realization.
No wonder, this kid had some skills in dealing with corpse poison and poison poison before. It turned out that he had only scratched the surface...
But now these universities are offering these weird courses? Hu Yueping frowned, but did not study it carefully.
After all, in his opinion, no matter where Xiao Yun learned these things, they are definitely not as good as him.
Shi Ershan was stunned and said: "Young man, your Miao dialect is so authentic. If I hadn't known that you are Han Chinese, I would have almost believed what you said!"
Chi Hong laughed and said, "I told you earlier, my master is a decathlete!"
Hearing this, Hu Yueping sneered in his heart.
Decathlon?
Is it enough to know a few words of Miao?
It's just fancy, I understand a little bit about this and a little about that.
Too much but not enough!
The group of people continued to follow Shi Ershan and walked deeper into the village.
Along the way, we saw stilted buildings of different shapes and colors, some built against the mountains, or hidden among green trees and bamboos, which gave them a somewhat antique beauty, just like beautiful landscape paintings.
of.
Xiao Yun was filled with admiration and deeply felt the richness and variety of Chinese culture.
Most of the stilted buildings I saw before had four frames and three rooms, while most of the stilted buildings in Qingfengdong had five frames, and some even had six frames, which were very majestic.
People live in the stilted building upstairs, and the downstairs is elevated, which can prevent floods and moisture, as well as provide ventilation and coolness.
The elevated part on the bottom floor is basically used to corral livestock and poultry, or to stack firewood, farm tools and the like.
"Isn't it beautiful? This Qingfengdong is so big! It is one of the most prosperous villages in the mountain." Shi Ershan said with a smile on his face: "I will be at my sister's house soon."
Soon, the group of people came to a stilted building.
I saw a "beauty couch" outside the second floor of the stilted building, which looked unique.
"Hey, Brother Ershan, your sister's home is quite luxuriously decorated!" Chi Hong joked.
Shi Ershan scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly: "Hey, my brother-in-law is also pretty good to her..."
"Your sister must be very beautiful, right? Stand close to this 'beauty', tsk tsk, it must be very eye-catching!"
As he said that, Chi Hong seemed to have seen a scene of a woman wearing Miao clothes, frowning and staring upstairs.
