Chapter 1194 (1/2)
Although the leader of the dragon clan is expensive, he doesn't know what's going on in the Miao village now?
”Patriarch, you don't have to worry. I'll solve the problems here before I leave here.”
When Xiao Chen said that, the Dragon leader was relieved.
Xiao Chen and sang, after Mo Xiaowan finished breakfast, Xiao Chen said, ”patriarch, I want to go around Miao village. Is there any problem?”
”Of course.”
If an outsider suddenly broke in here, it would be impossible to go around.
But now Xiao Chen is different.
Sang was originally a Miao people. He knew black Miao well and knew the dialect spoken here. Xiao Chen took sang and Mo Xiaowan and prepared to have a look at Xitang Miao village.
Most villagers of Xitang Miao village live together, that is, this dense stilted building.
The place where the patriarch lives is at the highest place, which is the feeling of a small mountain. The ancestral hall is in the middle, and other villagers of Miao village live around.
When Xiao Chen and her two daughters are walking in the Miao village, there is an alley between the stilted buildings in the Miao village. The alley is not very wide, at most about half a meter to one meter wide. You can walk or take some things. Moreover, when it rains, this alley is also a place for drainage.
However, if there is a fire, such a stilted building is most likely to burn in pieces, or even can't go at all.
However, the villagers of Miao village have lived like this for generations and seem to have been used to it for a long time.
”Sister sang, you said that the stilted buildings in Miao village are so close, aren't you afraid of fire?”
”I'm afraid. I must be afraid. So is the Miao village in my hometown.”
Almost Miao areas, even Miao villages in Yunnan and Guizhou, are like this.
It looks good, and it's lively to live together.
As for the strong wind, I am not afraid, because there is no typhoon here, but the most afraid problem is cremation.
As for others, it is just to check and update a certain amount of building materials every year.
”Have you ever thought of living outside separately?”
”I don't think so.”
In fact, there is another very important reason.
Miao, Yunnan and Guizhou, like these places where Miao people live, are places with few mountains and flat lands. Therefore, they have to live in this hillside, and the flat land may be used to grow crops.
Therefore, instead of other flat or hilly areas, families can live separately, and there is no need to worry about debris flow.
Here, there is no need to worry about debris flow on this hillside. The biggest problem is cremation.
After reading the stilted building, Xiao Chen found that almost all of them were inhabited.
Unconsciously, Xiao Chen came to a place.
It looks a little gloomy here.
Xiao Chen saw a Miao man living opposite and asked, ”uncle, who lives here?”
This is naturally sang translating for Xiao Chen.
The Miao man knew that Xiao Chen was an expert of Jiuli gate, and the other party said, ”Mr. Xiao, uncle long lives here.”
Uncle long?
Who is this?
After the family opened the door, Xiao Chen went over and sat down inside. He learned that uncle long was over 60 years old. He was also a single, lonely old man. Usually, as the gatekeeper of the Miao Village ancestral hall, he lived in the ancestral hall and took care of the property of the ancestral hall. Usually, he didn't work any more. It was equivalent to relying on the villagers to support each other.
The gatekeeper of the ancestral hall?
In Xiao Chen's opinion, there are many taboos. After all, Xiao Chen himself knows these.
Like this kind of people, one is unmarried, the other is worthy of the villagers' respect, and the other is that they should be bold.
