Volume 1: Reappearance of the Ancients Chapter 87: Overnight

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, changed the subject and said, "We have been walking for three days now. How far is it from the one you mentioned, Qilidong?"

Yamamoto Akitsuki looked at him, and his eyes passed by him like water, saying, "Qilidong is the largest settlement of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. According to my impression, this place lasted twenty miles and was a lively place where all ethnic groups live together, called "Tianshui Village". From there, there is a dangerous path to the south, which is the road to the Miao people's Qilidong." Then, she smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't know if there have been any other changes in the situation here in southern Xinjiang over the past three hundred years."

Jiang Chen nodded silently and subconsciously accelerated his pace.

Yamamoto Mingyue followed him, lingering at him for a few moments, and then looked forward. The mountains were connected, towering, majestic and steep, as if they were like giants, staring at the heaven and earth, on the ancient road, these small people...

In the past ten years, General Chen had studied southern Xinjiang for Ling'er and knew a little about the customs and customs here.

The southern border has a vast territory and a sparsely populated area. Except for the wild alien races in the 100,000 mountains that stretch thousands of miles south, the people who have lived in the border areas of the southern border for generations have roughly five main tribes, namely Miao, Tu, Zhuang, Li and Gaoshan tribes.

In terms of population, the Zhuang people have the largest number, accounting for 40% of the total population in southern Xinjiang; in terms of territory, the Miao people have the strongest power and the land they occupy is the most vast and fertile; in terms of folk customs alone, the mountain tribe with the smallest population is the most fierce.

These five tribes have lived in the southern border for generations. The five tribes each have their own language, but generally speaking, when communicating with each other, they use common languages ​​similar to the hinterland of the Great Wilderness Kingdom, but there are some local ethnic "characteristics".

Over the years, there have been naturally times when we communicate and join hands with each other, but there are also contradictions of intrigue and fighting each other. Over the long years, the five major tribes have gradually formed a situation where each side is occupied, but their territories are intertwined.

Where the territories of each tribe are connected, there are often villages and towns where people of several ethnic groups live together. The most are even people from five tribes living in the same place at the same time and living together.

The Tianshui Village in Yamamoto Mingyue's mouth is a famous lively place located on the border of the Miao, Zhuang, Tu and Gaoshan tribes.

The sky gradually darkened, and as dusk approached, the two of them finally walked into Tianshui Village.

Although the name of this place has the word "zhai" in its name, it is completely different from the mountain villages that are usually built on the hilltop in southern Xinjiang. Tianshui Village is built on a spacious flat land, and there is a road to the village in the southeast, west and northwest. According to Yamamoto Mingyue Road, this place was originally built by the Tu people, and the original site was not here, but on a mountain not far to the west. Because there is a clear spring on the top of the mountain, it is called Tianshui Village.

However, later, the four ethnic groups bordered and the population increased, and this place became a place where populations lived in mixed populations.

As the number of business trips and travels gradually increases, and living on the mountain is small, and living inconvenient, and it is also quite difficult to get there. Even though the people here in southern Xinjiang are generally stronger and stronger than those in the hinterland of the Great Wilderness Country, no one is willing to climb mountains and exercise every day.

As a result, some people began to move to the foot of the mountain to live, from a small amount to a large amount. Over time, the entire mountain village gradually moved down. As the four tribes trade flourished, business trips and traveled more frequently, and the scale also expanded. As for the original mountain village, it became increasingly deserted, and the name Tianshui Village was only preserved.

At this moment, the sky had just become dark, and there were still many pedestrians on the street, coming and going, and the surroundings were noisy, and the languages ​​of various ethnic groups rang from time to time, which was completely different from the deserted and quiet road when I came just now.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little bored, but he vaguely thought of some other concerns.

He turned his head and looked quietly to the side. He saw a smile on the corner of Yamamoto's mouth, watching the group of children playing happily, with coarse cloth shirts, but how could it cover her tender beauty.

Not to mention that it is in the southern border, with severe wind and frost, most of the women have ordinary appearance and dark skin. Even when they walk to the hinterland of the Great Wilderness Country, they transform into human form with the thousands of years of practice of Yamamoto Mingyue, the delicate and beautiful appearance, the gentle and charming meaning that exudes under their exquisite and beautiful appearance, and every frown and smile, all have a charm that makes people intoxicated.

Sure enough, after a moment, more and more people looked over amid the laughter and scolding of children, and the adult gazes naturally and quickly moved from the child to the beautiful woman who was hard to hide from the coarse linen.

In an instant, invisible sound waves spread out, and everyone was surprised by it. However, the woman under the countless eyes had no sign of shyness at all. Seeing her smiling all the time, she seemed to like this feeling quite a bit.

The general was very troubled. It was not his intention to be so eye-catching. He was wondering whether to remind the woman beside him and find a place to live, get up early tomorrow and go to Qilidong to do serious business.

However, as if his ideas were destined to be unfulfilled, the characters that must appear in countless stories that have been passed down from all over the world actually appeared at this moment.

The legendary hooligans also exist in the border areas of the southern border and among ethnic minorities.

The three of them walked out of the crowd, all of whom were almost the same, tall, rude, with a tiger-back and bear-bearing waist. They were half-baked and mixed with the common language of local characteristics, and began to tease Yamamoto Mingyue.

Rogue Ah "Uh, I'm so black... This woman is so beautiful!"

Yamamoto Mingyue smiled sweetly, brushed her face with her hands, and said indescribable tenderness, "Is that true?"

The crowd was in an uproar in an instant.

The three gangsters were overjoyed. Rogue B opened his clothes and showed off his good figure. "Little sister, follow me! I'll let you eat spicy food... and drink delicious food!"

Many people in the onlookers laughed immediately. Yamamoto Akitsuki glanced at Masashiko who was standing next to him, and his smile remained unabated.

Rogue C mocked Rogue B and said, "Do you know what it means to eat spicy food and drink? That means to eat spicy food and drink spicy food!" After that, he turned to Yamamoto Mingyue and said, "Little sister, my family has tens of millions of fertile land. Follow me and take care of you..."

Halfway through his words, he couldn't continue. He saw that Yamamoto's smile was even stronger, as if it was a charming feeling emitted from his heart. His eyes were like water in his bright eyes, as if it was about to flow out.

However, her body took a step back, stood beside the general, and said softly, "I have a husband."

There was another uproar in the crowd around.

The general stood there with a gloomy face and felt the fierce eyes of the three gangsters in front of him, full of hostility towards him.

A moment later, the hooligan rushed up. It seemed that the Southern Xinjiang proverb, a wife, was still full of vitality for thousands of years and was practiced by the people of southern Xinjiang.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three sounds, three figures flew out, hit the roadside wall, and then fell heavily, moaning loudly.

The onlookers were stunned, and the general said lightly, "Let's find a place to stay and leave early tomorrow morning." After that, he walked forward, Xiao Hui, who was lying on the ground, caught up with him in two or three times, rushed up to his shoulders, squeaking in his mouth, and turned around and grimaced at Yamamoto Mingyue.

Yamamoto Akitsuki smiled slightly, followed, walked to Masashimi, and suddenly whispered, "Look, I've been locked up for three hundred years, so I'm not old yet, right?"

Jiang Chen didn't say a word, but just speeded up.

The customs of the southern border are very different from the hinterland of the Great Wilderness Country. However, over the years, although they are located in remote areas, they still have exchanges with the hinterland of the Great Wilderness Country. The fur, ore and other specialties produced in the southern border have always had an excellent reputation in the Central Plains, attracting many merchants to trade.

Over time, inns that were originally not available in southern Xinjiang also appeared among the busiest towns under the influence of merchants in the hinterland of the Great Wilderness Country.

The inn that Masashi and Yamamoto Akitsuki are now in, with the name directly used the local name, "Tianshui Inn".

When you enter the inn, it is obvious that the tables and chairs are arranged very much, and they are very influenced by the culture of the hinterland of Dahuang Country. However, the boss and the client are both local Zhuang people. The Zhuang people have the largest population in southern Xinjiang and have relatively rich life. They are most affected by the hinterland of Dahuang Country. They are no less than other ethnic groups who insist on hunting as the main life. The Zhuang people have gradually begun to farm and do business.

However, despite this, the Zhuang people's customs are relatively peaceful, and most of the people lack the courage, so they are not as strong as the Miao people with a population of less than theirs.

Kamiko and Yamamoto Mingyue sat down. A friend had already come to receive him. At this time, the world was getting darker and there were not many guests in the inn. This guy looked like a dress and was also from the Zhuang tribe in the southern Xinjiang, but most of them had been working here for some time and spoke fluently.

"Two guests, do you want to eat? Our store has clean rooms, the prices are the most reasonable and well-known."

Jiangchen nodded and said, "Leave us two clean houses, let's stay for one night."

The guy smiled and nodded, then said, "Two guests, you probably haven't finished eating yet, but do you have to order some food?"

Kazuko was not hungry, but after looking at Yamamoto Akitsuki, he decided to have something to eat and said, "Well, you give us two bowls of rice, and a few more..."

"Uh!" Yamamoto Akitsuki, who was sitting beside him, suddenly spoke with a smile, and said, "Do you have "Duduoyant Bird" here?"

The general was stunned and looked at Yamamoto Mingyue. The guy was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Yamamoto Mingyue and said, "Miss, have you been to our southern Xinjiang? We naturally have this signature dish."

Yamamoto's smile became stronger, his eyes flashed, as if he was recalling something, and he slowly said, "Well, by the way, there are also "three snake intestines", "roasted bear tail", "roasted autumn leaves", "five small insects", "

Black heart nut "..."

Her eyes flashed, and she thought as she said, the speed was slow at the beginning, and the name of each dish was said, but later she became faster and faster, and the name of the dish was even more bizarre. It was incredible at first, and it was definitely not something that could be found in the heart of the Great Wilderness Country.

The general was stunned. Not only did the smile on the guy's face turn into an awkward expression of opening his mouth and unable to close it, but even the owner of the shop who was calculating the accounts in the distance couldn't help but come over.

After Yamamoto Akitsuki said nearly thirty dishes in one breath, he stopped and took a break, turned to the boss and the guy and smiled, "Do you have these dishes here?"
