"Little sister of the Miao family, what's your name?" On the small bamboo raft, Mr. Meng stared at the Miao woman rocking the boat with a ruthless expression. He just didn't say "I want to "tease" you" on his face. Big words. However, he knew that women in Lingnan were very simple and would blush at the slightest provocation.
Sure enough, when the woman heard the smiling Han man asking the question, two red clouds appeared on her face.
"I won't tell you this Han."
The woman pouted and looked like she didn't want to pay attention to Meng Xinghe. She had no choice. The status of the Han people in Lingnan was indeed unsatisfactory. The ferry woman naturally didn't want to talk too much to this Han man whom she had just met once.
How could Mr. Meng, who has always been more courageous with every setback, retreat so easily? He still said, "You just don't tell me. I also know your name. Your name is Phoenix, right?"
"Hmph. My name is not Phoenix. My name is Ayi." The woman said something straightforwardly. After a moment, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands. She seemed to be in a panic: "Nasty Han people. Dad said .Han people like sweet talk the most.”
"Haha." Meng Xinghe laughed: "I didn't force you to say it."
Uh. Everyone saw that Mr. Meng actually molested a Miao girl in broad daylight. Everyone who knew his character thought this was normal. Mr. Meng was a famous figure in Taoyuan back then. Anyone who asked me didn't know that Mr. Hualiu's favorite thing to do was to molest women from good families. He often looks for flowers, asks Liu, steals jade and steals fragrance. But he has never had a good impression of him. Naturally, he wants to kick him and throw him off the boat.
"Hey, little sister Ayi, look at what's on both sides. It's my first time as a Han to Lingnan. Please tell me." At this moment, Meng Xinghe happened to see the lofts built on the water on the shore. He didn't I dislike being thick-skinned. I know it is the most common stilted building in Lingnan, but I still find a topic to strike up a conversation with. It is admirable. Mr. Meng is indeed thick-skinned.
"Well, I just told the mountains, the water, and the trees and flowers. I just didn't tell you." Ayi said while holding the boat and puffing out his cheeks.
"Hey." After saying this, the Ayi woman who was rowing the boat tilted her ears slightly and immediately laughed happily: "Listen quickly. Listen quickly. That's the most outstanding man from our Miao family singing."
Everyone followed A Yi's voice and indeed heard singing coming from the mountains across the river. It seemed to be a folk song or something like that. The sound was good and could be heard clearly on the Tuojiang River.
Meng Xinghe curled his lips: "Does it sound good? I can sing it too."
"Third brother, I didn't expect that you can also sing folk songs." Chai Shao, who had nothing to do for fun, became interested at this moment: "How about you compete with the man on the mountain to see who can sing better."
"Humph. He must not be as good at singing as Brother Bunuo." Ayi interjected. After finishing speaking, he curled his lips. "Brother Bunuo is the most outstanding man in our Miao village. He is good at singing and has good craftsmanship. It is us. The youngest hero of the Miao people." As she spoke, the Ayi woman's face was filled with admiration for the hero.
"Ahem." Meng Xinghe cleared his throat. He could hear the singing on the mountain opposite clearly. But folk songs are male and female duets. How could he, a big man, have the nerve to speak. "I won't hit you Bunuo." I’m an older brother. When I sing, he doesn’t know where he is babbling.”
"You can't sing, and you still make irresponsible remarks. You Han people are just petty-minded and hypocritical. We Miao people never know how to talk sweet words. Our minds are as clear as the water of Tuojiang River." Ayi girl is almost opposite to Meng Xinghe.
Every word was directed at him. Obviously, this tall and tall Han man left a very bad impression on him.
"Only you Miao people are good." Meng Xinghe retorted: "Since your brother Bunuo is so perfect, why is he still singing folk songs and marrying a Miao girl earlier? You lied to me, a Han, I don't understand.
You Miao people are getting married."
At any rate, I also spent two days in the Hanlin Academy. Of course, I read a lot about the customs of various ethnic groups in Lingnan. Most of the Miao men and women always like to sing a few folk songs when gathering or working. If both men and women
If you are all satisfied with the singing, then you are in love. Getting married is the most normal thing. It will be as cumbersome as in the Central Plains, which requires three matchmakers and six betrothals.
Ayi didn't know where this Han man knew about the Miao marriage. But she was not to be outdone. She said: "Humph. Brother Bunuo is the hero of our Miao people. Of course he wants to marry the most beautiful Phoenix of the Miao people."
"Phoenix. I think it's a crow." Mr. Meng curled his lips and hit hard: "If you can sing, you are a hero. If you are clever, you are a phoenix. Then you can say that you are a phoenix."
"You." Ayi was angry at his words: "Shameless Han."
"Haha. How do you know my strengths? Little sister Ayi is so smart." Mr. Meng doesn't care whether you are a Miao girl or a Han girl. Shamelessness has always been his nature. No matter who he meets, it is the same.
This Han man was so shameless. He was the most disgusting Han man that Ayi had seen since she was ferrying on the Tuojiang River. She stopped saying a word and turned all her resentment into strength, shaking her head with all her strength.
The boat only hoped to carry this shameless Han to the shore immediately and never see him again.
"Bang."
Every so often, I felt that the entire bamboo raft was hit by something. The Ayi woman's voice immediately became louder: "The shameless Han people are here."
"Well, we're here." Meng Xinghe had been staring at the Tuojiang River in a daze just now after quarreling with little sister Ayi. Unexpectedly, he reached the shore in a short time. He looked ahead. Where is Phoenix City? This is obviously a place where people live in
A village by the river.
"You are not trustworthy. You promised to ferry us to Phoenix City." Meng Xinghe refused to get off the boat. He warned everyone on the boat with his eyes that they were not allowed to get off the boat. They were going to Phoenix City, not a fishing village.
Meng Xinghe refused to get off the boat. Ayi jumped off the bamboo raft with bare feet: "I only said that I would take you to Phoenix City. I didn't say that you would definitely get to Phoenix City." After saying that, the Ayi woman did not care about Meng Xinghe and the others.
No one could get off the boat, so I walked towards the fishing village in front of me. Looking at her, she looked like she was going home.
"Hey, don't go." Meng Xinghe greeted. Everyone jumped out of the boat with him. They saw how shameless Meng Xinghe was along the way. Miss Du originally wanted to remind that the front should be a village where the Miao people live. He was dressed as a Han. Maybe it would be wrong.
This caused a lot of trouble. But before she could say anything, Master Meng had already stopped the Miao woman Ayi.
"Didn't you say that you Miao people are the most trustworthy? Leave us now. Compared with us Han people, who is not trustworthy?" Meng Xinghe argued hard. Now he can't let go of this person who knows the way to Phoenix City.
Miao girl.
Ayi has never seen such a disgusting Han Chinese: "Okay, this is our Miao village. If you dare to move, I will call you immediately."
Threatening me. These three words immediately appeared in Mr. Meng's mind. He looked ahead. It seemed that many people and Miao people had already walked over.
"I'm being reasonable. Reasoning. You know, if you agree to someone else's matter, you should do it. Otherwise, why did you agree in the first place?" Mr. Meng doesn't talk about force, but he actually reasons with the Miao woman. It's really strange.
I have never seen such an unreasonable woman. The woman named Ayi wrinkled her face and said, "Dad." She immediately shouted out two words. She was like a daughter who was bullied outside and ran home to complain to her father.
It was a good thing she didn't scream. As soon as she screamed, I saw no less than a hundred Miao people swarming in front of me.
"Ayi daddy, look. Are they Han?"
"Yes. They are Han people."
"The Han people must be robbing our little Miao village when they come to it."
"We're going to kill them."
A group of Miao people rushed over in a few words. In their hands were either hoes or large-backed machetes. They were used to cut down trees and bamboo. But the shining back of the knife was really scary.
"Oh, Third Brother, I'm afraid things are not going well." Chai Shan saw that the situation was not good. He was already preparing to touch the bag on the horse's belly. It contained weapons. He heard that the road to Lingnan was not peaceful, so he specially equipped everyone with one. Self-defense.
"Don't move. As long as we don't move, they won't dare to move." Meng Xinghe knew that now is not the time to move. Although there are many Miao people, they are not barbaric and kill everyone on sight. At least he is keeping things in check. . I'm still scared.
"Ayi, are some Han people bullying you?" Soon, Meng Xinghe and others were surrounded by a group of Miao people. An old man over fifty years old with a colorful bandana on his head walked up to Ayi. When the old man was talking, he pulled his daughter to his side and stared at Meng Xinghe, a member of the Han family, directly in front of him.
"No. It's not." Ayi knew that if she said yes today, Meng Xinghe, a nasty Han family member, would be beaten to death by her father and other Miao family members here. The kind-hearted Ayi did not want to see such a scene. She left and whispered in her father's ear: "This group of Han people are going to Phoenix City. But the waterway to Phoenix City was closed many days ago. My daughter had no choice but to bring them here." ."
"The damn Han family must have gone to Phoenix City to rob the treasures of our Miao people." Ayi's father immediately stood up: "We don't welcome you Han family here. Get out of here."
"Go away." Meng Xinghe didn't like hearing this word. But when he saw the Miao people around him who were absolutely unreasonable when fighting, he swallowed and said: "This old man said that you Miao family are the most trustworthy. Those who are kind-hearted are as clear as the water of the Tuojiang River. But now I know that this is a lie made up by you Miao family. It is ridiculous. It is really ridiculous. I thought the people of the Miao family were so kind. I didn’t expect that even I Even this shameless Han family can't compare."
"Be reasonable. We need to be reasonable. Third brother is just being reasonable." Seeing the harsh words of his third brother, Mr. Chai admired his third brother from the bottom of his heart. Among other people's territory, he liked to be reasonable the most.
Father Ayi was so speechless by Meng Xinghe's rebuttal that he had no power to reply. "Han family, we don't keep our word anymore. If you keep messing around, don't blame us for being rude." After saying the last three words, Words. Many Miao people around who have been gearing up for a long time are already holding hoes tightly, preparing to destroy these Han people.
Father Ayi pressed his hand down and told the Miao people behind him in Miao language not to act rashly. He asked: "Han family, we are unreasonable. Compared to you Han family, we Hmong people have never met each other. Just kill you. This is the greatest tolerance in the world."
Meng Xinghe felt a cold sweat in his heart. It seemed that the Han people did not have a good impression in the hearts of the Miao family. However, he had his own reasons. Of course, he was not afraid of anything.
"Ha. We Han family are despicable. But your daughter Ayi promised me before that she would take us to Phoenix City. But she brought us here instead. You Miao family are the most trustworthy. But... even We can't even do what we promised. How can we be better than our Han family?"
Those dark raw yam cannot be eaten in vain. I have endured the humiliation with great difficulty. How can I be taken advantage of by you? I am being reasonable. Do you understand? Meng Xinghe seemed to have completely shamelessly answered. Let the guy opposite Father Yi looked solemn.
If this is really the case, then you have to keep your word. This is what Father Ayi thinks.
"Ayi, what this Han family member said is true."
Ayi nodded. Her beautiful and simple eyes glared at Meng Xinghe, a member of the Han family, with power. It seemed that the name of despicable and shameless had been permanently imprinted on him.
Hearing the eye contact between Ayi and her father, Mr. Meng secretly snickered. It is true that he can travel all over the world with reason, but it is difficult to move without reason. It seems that this time he comes to Phoenix City, he must pay attention to being reasonable at all times.
