The fifth chapter-unexpectedly came to eight hundred years later
The Miao language of Shanjiang is Bagu, which is 23 kilometers away from the ancient city. It is a typical Miao town and the ruling center of the last generation of Miao kings in Xiangxi. A clear stream passes through the town, with undulating hills, strange stone peaks and beautiful trees. Most of the houses are five columns, eight melons and three earthen walls and tile houses. There is a small pavilion at the entrance of the town, and the tablet on the pavilion is about half an acre. It is the place where Miao people hold festivals such as "April 8", "June 6" and "Catch Autumn". After walking through the town, you can see towering stone buildings and antique houses. This is the palace of Long Yunfei, the former Miao King.
Tian Dashu asked Qina to show Xiu Xiu around and exchange his agricultural products for daily necessities. This ancient town fair still retains the barter trade mode. Jina looked up, and at least thousands of people were filled in this small square, all of which were incomprehensible Miao language. The appearance of the two people made the originally crowded market quiet for a short time, which really made the appearance of Qinan and Xiu Xiu too outstanding. This small town has never seen such a graceful figure. Everywhere the villagers stopped their work and looked at the golden couple-like couple, whispering and talking in succession. When Jina was in Lin ‘an, she saw so many eyes, so she felt at home. Instead, she stared a Xiu Xiu red-faced, and my girl had seen such a big scene. The feeling be nasty under involuntarily took JiNa hand. Hold Xiu Xiu soft hands, JiNa heart is not a swing.
Pulling Xiu Xiu around the market, I found several people who were obviously not Miao people. Clothing is concise and clear, and the clothing of DaSong is not the same. If you look at it carefully, there is a kind of unspeakable beauty. Most people hold a strange item in their hands and click it from time to time. Qinan pulls Xiu Xiu to an old man who looks about 50 or 60 years old. Obviously, the old man also found the two of them, and his eyes are colorful. Probably he is also surprised that this Shan Ye town has such a handsome and beautiful figure.
"Hey, boys and girls, are you from here?" The old man said hello first.
After a few days’ communication with Uncle Hotan’s family, Qinan has become familiar with the world-wide language. I also study hard to communicate with them in such a language, whether to speak clearly to the elders or to listen clearly. In fact, the so-called Putonghua in their mouths is similar to that in the Song Dynasty, but there are some differences in accent.
At present, he saluted the old man and replied; "We are from Niujiao Village, 20 miles away, and I don’t know where Uncle came from."
"Ha ha! I traveled here with my wife, son and daughter-in-law. "The old man pointed to several humanitarians who were shopping in the market not far away.
Hangzhou! ! ! ! ! JiNa mind a roar. Isn’t Lin ‘an called Hangzhou before Emperor Gaozong moved the capital? It’s just that you can’t find a place to get it, and it doesn’t take much effort to get it. Qinan suppressed the stormy waves in her heart. He asked in a trembling voice that he didn’t even realize, "Uncle, is Hangzhou also called Lin ‘an, where is the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty?"
"Ha ha, you can’t see that the young man is still very knowledgeable! I think I read a book outside! Yes, Hangzhou was indeed called Lin ‘an in the Southern Song Dynasty, but that was eight hundred years ago. After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin ‘an was renamed Hangzhou, and it is still called Hangzhou. "
Eight hundred years ago! ! ! The Southern Song Dynasty perished! ! ! The old man’s words hit Qina hard in the heart like a heavy hammer. A burst of dizziness made him almost fall, and his extraordinary perseverance made him remind himself to stay awake. Xiu Xiu feel JiNa body shape, quickly hold his face became a fiasco.
Old man also found JiNa different shape, busy asked; "Young man, what’s wrong? Why are you so pale? ? "
JiNa dark bite the tip of the tongue, trying to keep his gv 10 clear, looking at the old man’s concerned eyes, only a panic; "I have this problem since I was a child. It doesn’t matter." The old man was relieved, noticed the beautiful Xiu Xiu holding Qinan’s right hand, turned to her and asked, "Are you brother and sister? Where are your parents? I don’t know what kind of people can give birth to such beautiful and handsome children. " Xiu Xiu was embarrassed. Not used to communicating with outsiders, she didn’t know how to explain it to her old uncle, so she had to look at Qina with help.
Jina is trying to digest what the old man said just now when the old man asked Xiu Xiu. See Jina didn’t notice her eyes, Xiu Xiu angrily shook Jina’s hand and interrupted Jina from meditation.
"Dare to ask the old man heard of Jiyun Society in Hangzhou? Does it still exist now? "Holding the last glimmer of hope, JiNa asked;
"How do you know about this? Ha ha, in this society now, if you ask the average person, others may really don’t know. That’s China, and it can even be said to be the earliest football club in the world. Of course, it was not called football at that time, but called cuju. Old man I used to teach history in a school in Hangzhou, so I still have some research on this. Young man, what do you ask it to do? Now there is only one Greentown Club in Hangzhou, and Qiyun Club disappeared hundreds of years ago.
The old man’s words made Jina’s heart sink, although he didn’t understand what the football in the old man’s mouth was. Since he knew Cuju and Jiyun Club, nine times out of ten, his words could not be wrong.
Looking at the inquiry and wonder in the old man’s eyes, Qinan quickly replied: "Oh, I read it from a book. We mountain people have never been out, so we are very curious about everything outside."
The old man showed the original expression on his face, and said with a hint of comfort in his tone, "Never mind, young man, you are still young, so go outside more." Can you take a picture with the old man as a souvenir? I am also very curious about your Miao culture. This time I came to see if Xiangxi is as beautiful as described by Mr. Shen Congwen, and it did not disappoint me. The beauty of mountains and waters here is also beautiful, just look at the young men and girls. Ha ha ha. " After that, he handed the strange thing in his hand to a middle-aged man in his thirties. It depends on his son.
Taking pictures? ? What is it? Looking at JiNa scratching his head, the old man laughed out loud.
"And you haven’t seen this kind of digital camera? Come on, let the three of us stand together and take a picture with this market as the background. Mountains and rivers, you should take a better picture! "The middle-aged man called mountains and rivers by the old man happily promised and began to fiddle with the strange things in his hands.
"Everybody smile, started, one, two. Three "I saw a dazzling white light in the hands of a middle-aged man, and soon a piece of paper came out to touch something. Qina took a look and was very shocked. It turned out to be a portrait of three people on the paper, which was not different from the real person.
"Brother, this photo will be left to you as a souvenir. We are predestined friends. Oh, I don’t know your names yet. I almost forgot. " The old man patted his forehead, no way.
"The old man welcome, my name is Jina, her name is Tian Xiuxiu. We are in the same stockade. " Qina knew that his origin was too shocking, so he had to tell a little panic to this amiable old man.
"I really want to go to your stockade to see what kind of land of heaven and earth is so beautiful that I can breed such outstanding people as you, old Zhao Hongru. This is my son Zhao Shanhe. Oh, by the way, mountains and rivers, give this little brother your business card. If you are free to come to Hangzhou, you can call me at this number. Young people should go outside to rush! It’s a pity that we will go back to Phoenix later and return to Hangzhou tomorrow. Ah, "the old man said with a face of sighs and regrets.
There was a small roar on the road near the market behind him. When Qinan looked back, he was greatly surprised. I saw a dark monster with four wheels coming slowly, which was only about shoulder-high. A figure could be seen vaguely through a completely transparent glass in front. The monster stopped, got out of it a young man in his twenties, went straight to the old gentleman and said, "Professor Zhao, it’s almost time. Should we go back?"
Mr. Zhao nodded and looked back at Nan with a smile. "Young man, don’t have to, we want to go back. I hope that when you have time, you can come to Hangzhou to play, and I will definitely treat you warmly. " Pat Qina on the shoulder, turn around and get into the black monster with his family. The monster went very fast, and soon disappeared at the end of the town road.
Jina came back, and a burst of inexplicable hesitation and doubt instantly occupied the whole heart. What I heard and saw today shocked me so much that I came to the world after 800 years. Jina had an uneasy feeling in his heart, and it seemed that he couldn’t go back. All kinds of thoughts sprang up in my mind. A burst of dizziness followed, and Xiu Xiu looked at Jina’s suddenly pale face and asked anxiously with crying; "What’s the matter, Brother Qi?" Jina looked at Xiu Xiu’s worried and anxious little face, took a deep breath, and forced down the dizziness. Clap Xiu Xiu’s little hand way; "Maybe I walked too long when I came, and my body didn’t fully recover, so I’m a little tired. It’s okay, just rest, don’t worry."
I sat down on a bamboo chair next to the market and rested for half an hour before the dizziness completely disappeared. Qinan Station got up and looked around for a week, but I didn’t see Uncle Tian. Xiu Xiu’s beautiful eyes like autumn waters are full of men and women, young and old, curiously looking at the market. Today is Xiu Xiu’s first time out. You can’t ignore her feelings because of yourself. Let’s put your own affairs aside! ! 1 JiNa heart secretly way.
"Come on, Xiu Xiu, I’m rested, and I’ll go shopping with you again." JiNaXiang sitting on a bamboo chair Xiu Xiu way
Xiu Xiu jumped up with joy, smiling like a flower, and the light that suddenly bloomed was as dazzling as the sun. Holding Xiu Xiu’s small hand, she shuttled through the crowd, occasionally stopping in front of vendors who were interested in selling various trinkets. The time of the day slipped away unconsciously. Uncle Hotan met, and the three men hurried back according to the way they came.

Chapter six-Miao songs convey feelings
Lying on the soft bed, Qinan calmed down to sort out his thoughts. Until now, I still can’t fully believe that I have come to the world more than 800 years later, but I can’t help believing everything I see today. Xiu Xiu later told him that the young man called the old man a professor, who was the most educated person, and that four-wheeled black monster, called a car, could travel thousands of miles a day. Of course, Xiu Xiu’s knowledge of these things is learned through her radio that can make sounds.
Hangzhou! ! ! I must go back to Hangzhou and look at that thing called a business card in my hand. There are only a few lines on it, which read: Zhao Shanhe, General Manager of Shanhe Publishing Co., Ltd. Behind the phone is a string of strange symbols. Xiu Xiu said it was called Arabic numerals. That telephone is even more peculiar. It can be transmitted from Wan Li and can be heard no matter how far away. Tian Dashu was also very surprised that Jina didn’t even know the most basic things. Jina had to lie to them and say that maybe he really had amnesia, and he couldn’t remember everything in the past. The names such as Lin’ an mentioned a few days ago were only occasional things in his mind. This just missed to let them stop wondering, Qina understand their own origin, and they won’t believe it. It’s better not to tell anyone such a shocking thing, or the simple villagers will really treat themselves as monsters. The mountain people here still believe in ghosts and gods.
When it comes, it’s safe. Although I miss my family in Lin ‘an very much, I haven’t found any way to go back yet. Let’s live here first, and over time, maybe we can find a way back. Besides, Qinan found herself a little in love with this beautiful place. There are fascinating mountains and green waters, simple and kind villagers, Aunt Tian Dashu who treats herself like a relative, and Xiu Xiu who is as beautiful as a lotus flower. Qinan is an optimistic person by nature. When he thought of this, although he didn’t talk about all his troubles, he was relieved. He was still a little tired after driving for a day on the mountain road and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the following days, Qinan regarded himself as an ordinary Miao family. Uncle Hotan and them worked together in the fields, fished in the Tuojiang River, and ate delicious meals cooked by Xiu Xiu every day. The life was simple and full. Qinan sometimes thinks that it’s not bad to live a lifetime like this. But he knows that such an idea can only be thought about, and he must go out and find a way back. After all, there is no career or family here. Whether you can go back or not, at least you have to work hard to be willing.
These days, I get along with Xiu Xiu more harmoniously. That lad won’t be as shy as when I first met her. Recently, I found that she often secretly looked at herself, and when she looked at her four eyes, her eyes would run away in a hurry. I can see that she likes herself, too. Even clay figurines will be tempted by the deep affection contained in the eyes like autumn water. It’s just that I’m still confused about my own business now. If I find a way to go back but I can’t take her away, it won’t delay her for a lifetime. Just wait and see. Water will cross the bridge when it comes to it.
Another day passed, and Qinan came to the shallow water near the Tuojiang River with a towel. After a day’s work, he was dirty, took off his clothes that had been soaked with sweat, leaving only a pair of underwear and began to clean. Qinan’s figure is not very strong, but the muscles of the whole body are almost in perfect proportion. Every muscle seems to contain infinite strength. The original white skin was tanned by recent field work, and standing in the red river reflected by the sunset, the whole person looks like an unparalleled sculpture.
At least at the moment, in Xiu Xiu’s eyes, Qinan is like a stunning masterpiece that perfectly blends the inherent beauty of all statues such as David, thinker and Caesar. Xiu Xiu stood behind a boulder by the river and looked at the sight of his heart pounding like a deer in the river, losing his mind. Since coming back from the fair that day, Xiu Xiu found that Brother Qi had changed a little. Although he was still talking and laughing with everyone, when he was alone, the melancholy and confusion in his eyes drowned him like a raging flash flood. Whenever this time, Xiu Xiu feels his heart is so sad. At this time, Brother Qi is like a helpless child, and he can’t help but want to hold him in his arms to comfort him. His deep eyes, with a little melancholy and confusion, made it impossible for him not to indulge in it, even if it was a fatal whirlpool, he threw himself into it without hesitation.
Which girl is not in love, which girl is not affectionate. Hunan women are known all over the world for their amorous feelings. Xiu Xiu nature also can’t free.
This day is the market day in Shanjiang Miao village again, which is a very important day in Miao life. Since that fair, Uncle Tian no longer restrained Xiu Xiu from going out, so today Xiu Xiu is dressed up again, chirping happily like a lark. Tian Dashu looked at her eyes with a spoil.
And came to the market that hasn’t changed much. Uncle Tian still let Jina wander around with Xiu Xiu, and he went to do his thing alone. While walking, a small song came, and Qinan listened attentively. It turned out that a group of Miao young people were singing songs by the road at the edge of the town.
Miao people have language but no writing, and Miao songs play an important role in cultural life, which is developing day by day through the ages. Everyone in the Miao family loves to sing. On such auspicious days as April 8th, June 6th, and Fair, singers and friends from all the cottages, young men and women rush to the concert hall from all directions to sing, set songs, teach songs and listen to songs. Make friends with songs, convey feelings with songs. Miao songs are divided into metrical style and free style. Each group of songs has an introduction called "Qisha". Miao songs pay attention to the coordination of rhythm and tone, with refined language and beautiful melody. In particular, Miao love songs are good at expressing feelings and rich in content, giving people a strong artistic appeal.
For a long time, Miao people have been in free love for two years, and parents generally do not interfere. Miao men and women love each other in a hurry or a festive festival, which is also called "rushing to the sidelines". Miao youth love to form small groups in love, so that they can sing good words and be the first in the group. The regular activities of the group are to practice singing love songs and learn to tell love stories. Because once the "tryst" loses the song, it will be "coldly" by the other party. Whenever there is a fair or a major festival, they will come to the market or wander around the field. Once they meet the ideal opposite sex, the man will do everything possible to find out the surname of the other party (Miao people have the same surname and never get married, and their aunts and aunts don’t get married). After the party is over, they will chase after the female group and test it with provocative songs. If the woman answers the song in a friendly way, she will end up until the appointment date. In order to win each other’s trust and respect, the two groups constantly meet in the market yard and festivals, and try their best to express their love for each other with songs, so as to fully express their knowledge, talent, technology and character. After full communication, the group gradually transformed into pairs of lovers, and the couples sang softly in the moonlight and snuggled up in the green trees … Through close communication, the embryonic form of the newly-married family was created.
Xiu Xiu excited took Jina’s hand and trotted over. It seems that she has been waiting for a long time. Jina with a wry smile, walk with Xiu Xiu.

Chapter 7-Injured people
Seeing the approach of Jina and Xiu Xiu, a group of men and women who sang songs also stopped temporarily and looked at them with curiosity. Suddenly a young girl in the crowd called out in Miao language. You see, it turned out to be a girl in the same stockade with Xiu Xiu, and Jina also knew her, but not very well. Xiu Xiu and she are very familiar with each other, and their relationship is similar to that of a handkerchief in ancient times. Xiu Xiu ran lightly like a butterfly among flowers, and the silver ornaments on his body made a "tinkling" sound, and his posture between runs was beautiful.
Jina can’t speak Miao language, and she is embarrassed to blend in with the young men who are singing songs, so she has to sit on a stone bench not far from them and watch these men and women who are "rushing to the sidelines" with great interest.
Xiu Xiu stood in a group of Miao girls dressed like flowers. Although most Miao girls also have eyebrows like a crescent moon, their eyes are full of eyes and charming beauty, but Xiu Xiu’s light is as dazzling as the midday sun. The brilliance of the surrounding Miao girls was completely suppressed.
They couldn’t figure out the relationship between Jina and Xiu Xiu. When they saw Jina sitting there alone, they all looked puzzled, and the atmosphere was not so warm just now. JiNa afraid of their influence on them, stood up, ignoring Xiu Xiu a face of sorrow, went to the market in front of the past, anyway, Xiu Xiu and good sisters together, expect what also won’t fork.
