My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 366 Primitive Society
"Huh, come up."

Nan Yanzi gasped.

After all, it was two girls. After climbing the difficult mountain road for two hours, it is normal to be a little tired.

Peasants living in the countryside are indeed capable, but not everyone is a special soldier, and they are omnipotent.

Han Qi didn't know anything when he heard the words. Looking at the sea of ​​clouds slowly churning under the cliff, he thought of the two hours before, since he had climbed from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the thousand-meter cliff with his bare hands... When did he have such courage? up?

But now is not the time to think about these, anyway, it has already come up.

Under the clear sky, the wilderness in front of me is so clear and clean, it is not worse than the scenery of the plateau, or it is already a plateau scenery, and the altitude has been raised by nearly a thousand on the original basis.

Han Qi checked the altitude barometer on his watch, and it showed that Han Qi had risen by 948 altitudes in these two hours, and now he has reached 2743. This altitude is higher than many areas on the plateau, and it should be the highest mountain nearby. .

He looked around and could see a higher mountain in the distance, but it was covered with white snow, it was a snow mountain.

Han Qi stared at the mountain and asked the girl: "Apart from the way we came up, is there any other way to get to the village?",

"No, the other two sides are cliffs with no roads. In the past, someone turned over from the snow-capped mountains, but it was a long time ago. I heard from my grandfather that they were some foreigners."

There is a plain above here, Han Qi's eyesight is enough to see most of the scenery on the top of the mountain, there is a village in the distance, behind this village is a forest, it should be the place where they grow fruits, and Han Qi is located The location is to grow food.

Nan Yanzi led the way, feeling very good.

It's a long time coming to the village. This is a big event in the whole village. Maybe we can still eat meat today.

And Han Qi looked at this fairyland-like place above the clouds, thinking about the difficulty of getting there, and thinking of a poem in his heart, he couldn't help smiling.

"The road is difficult, the road is difficult, and there are many divergent roads. Where is it now? There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break. Hang the sails on the clouds to help the sea."

The road is of course difficult, no wonder no outsiders have dared to climb it for decades.

But once coming from this road, Han Qi felt that it was nothing more than that.Just like the mentality of a person who has passed the driver's license test looking back at those new melon eggs who are trembling and flustered, he said casually:

"It's not difficult."

As we approached the village, we began to see people.

Nun Yanzi jumped up and down and shouted:
"Sixth Grandpa, I brought a guest up...Third Uncle, Third Uncle, look, he is Han Qi, a guest from the city, and he can take pictures. Brother Cai, this is Han Qi who came from the city , yes, he came up by himself."

Han Qi smiled and nodded one by one.

"Really a guest from the city? Welcome, welcome!"

"The boys in the city are so handsome."

"The young man is so beautiful, where did he come from? Didn't he encounter any danger when he came up? Don't be afraid, the old wooden vine is very strong."

Han Qi was full of question marks, what were they talking about?

There were also children who came to look at Han Qi for a long time. The distance was so close that Han Qi was a little embarrassed. Just when he was about to ask them what was the matter, the children scattered and someone ran and shouted:
"The swallow brought the man back!! The swallow brought the man back!"

Han Qi's smile froze.

He actually understood this sentence!
This statement...is correct, but it sounds so ambiguous.

Why do I look like a Mr. Yazhai who was robbed by a female bandit into a cottage?
Nan Yanzi can be described as a hero among women, how can she be made fun of like this for no reason?He hurriedly picked up a pole that a villager had put on the ground, and chased after the little girl shouting like Fei Ye, shouting angrily while running:

"Stand up for me! Li Wei, don't run!"

Han Qi looked at the vigorous figure and clicked his tongue twice.

It took nearly two hours to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, and then walked such a long way, and now I still have the energy to play with children. If I practice martial arts with this kind of physique, I won’t beat the martial arts masters on Douyin. Invincible?
Yujiao tugged at the corner of Han Qi's clothes, signaling Han Qi to follow her.

Han Qi smiled at the surrounding crowd and walked into the village.

The stockade is not big, it looks like there are less than a hundred families. Living on the top of the mountain with thousands of acres of land, there is no shortage of daily expenses. You only need to go down the mountain and exchange with others for daily necessities, such as various seasonings. Materials, clothing, farm tools and so on.

Han Qi followed Yujiao towards her house.

On this short road of tens of meters, the entire Gaolu Village was like a disturbed hornet's nest. People in various ethnic minority clothes kept running over to see Han Qi, a foreign face that he hadn't seen for many years.

For them, as long as they leave the mountain, they are out of town.

He saw Yujiao walking straight to a wooden building, and pushed open the door with her hand. Han Qi felt a feeling of relief in his heart.

It's like being surrounded by people in a crowded street when you go shopping, and seeing Wang Zheng come to rescue him with a few security guards after being trapped for a few hours.

"Yujiao, you're back. Where's your sister? What's going on outside?"

a woman's voice asked.

By the way, the accents of the people in this village are different from those in the city below, and even farther away from Huili, but they can barely hear that their language is also Southwest Mandarin, which is why Han Qi can understand it a little .

Among the Southwest Mandarin dialects, Rongcheng dialect is the easiest to understand. Even people from other provinces can understand many Rongcheng dialects.

Then people who fully understand the Rongcheng dialect can understand part of the Guizhou dialect, the southern Yunnan dialect, and some dialects in Hunan and Hubei.

This is the inclusiveness of Southwest Mandarin.

Han Qi can understand part of what is said here, but only part of it.

Nan Yanzi may often run down the mountain, so his words are relatively clear, and there is no obstacle in communicating with Han Qi, but at this moment, Han Qi did not understand what the woman in front of him said, so he could only stare at her with wide eyes .

The woman was about 40 years old, but her hair was completely gray, and her face was somewhat similar to Nan Yanzi.

It can't be sisters, then it should be mother and daughter.

Nan Yanzi's mother was stunned when she saw Han Qi, she didn't say a word for a minute or two, and Yujiao couldn't speak, of course, she looked at Han Qi with big curious eyes, then at her mother, lightly Gently tugged at the corner of my mother's clothes.

Han Qi cleared his throat in embarrassment.

"Hello Auntie."

Han Qi didn't know if she understood, but it woke her up.

Before she had time to pay attention to Han Qi, she quickly pulled Xiao Yujiao aside, and asked with gestures, "Who is this?"

"guest."

The gesture communication between the two is not outside sign language, but a tacit understanding developed in the family life for so many years. Sometimes, even if they make a random gesture, mother can guess what Yujiao wants to say.

At this time, the voice of the swallow came from outside the door.

"Mom, I'm back."

She rushed into the room, but Han Qi was at the door at this time. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise Nan Yanzi who had just entered the room would have only bumped into Han Qi's back.

Her mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nan Yanzi. She only saw Yujiao but not Yanzi just now, and another outsider appeared beside Yujiao.She was really afraid that something might happen to Nan Yanzi. After all, it is not convenient to climb up and down this mountain, and there are many people who fell off the cliff these years.

"You're back, who is this person?"

"It's a guest. He came from the city to play with us. I thought he couldn't climb the mountain alone, so I brought him back."

I don't understand, and I don't understand again.

Han Qi scratched his hair, looked at his aunt and smiled.

Smile is the most beautiful language in the world, and you don’t need Han Qi’s knowledge of the dialect here to convey your kindness. Seeing Han Qi’s smile, my aunt became less vigilant, smiled at Han Qi, and said:

"In this case, let's have dinner at our house today."

Han Qi didn't understand, so he could only look at Nan Yanzi.

"My mother told you to have dinner at our house."

"Thank you." Han Qi said.

Hearing this aunt's invitation to him, Han Qi felt relieved and looked around.

Seeing this, Han Qi's mind was shaken violently.

He never knew what poverty was before. He lived in a wealthy town. Although it was small and remote, there was no gap in his daily life.

In the past two years, when I left home, the places I went to see were all very rich.

There is no poor person in Northern Europe. Many people can't believe this, thinking that it is just a lie spread by the media.

However, Han Qi has traveled to many towns in northern Norway, and he really does not see poor people. No matter how poor he is, all kinds of living facilities in his home are complete, with heating, internet, hot water, and electricity. , even if the whole family does not go to work, they can treat Han Qi to drink the best freshly ground coffee.

But here, Han Qi looked around.

Nothing was seen.

Only two words.

poverty.

There are no lights on the ceiling, no sockets on the walls, let alone TV sets, refrigerators and the like, and some kind of artwork made of red thread hangs on the walls, but it is very rough and has a strong ethnic style.

After entering, I should have seen the living room first, but there was no sofa or chair, only a few stones.There are beds in the corner, the room where Han Qi came in has two beds, a rough wooden table, a cooking stove with a few black pottery bowls and chopsticks on it, and some dry firewood piled up next to it .

then.

Gone.

Han Qi could no longer find anything more in this room.

The bigger bed should belong to the two sisters, and if the clothes on it belonged to the two girls, then there might not be as many clothes as in the travel bag that Han Qi left at the foot of the mountain.He has no other hobbies in travel, but likes to buy some local clothes.

Han Qi really can't imagine that there will be such a scene in someone's home in 2022.

He was dumbfounded, and was dragged by Yujiao to sit on a stone. Not far in front of him was the very rough wooden table that was definitely made by himself.

The aunt came out of a room and took some oranges in her hand.

She gave the citrus to Nan Yanzi, smiled at Han Qi and went back into the room, not knowing what to do, while Nan Yanzi knelt down in front of the table and began to peel the oranges.

Han Qi stood up immediately.

He was terrified. For the first time in more than 20 years, someone knelt down in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

"what happened?"

Han Qi pointed to the stone bench next to her and said, "You sit too, what are you doing kneeling?"

"It's a rule in our village that women can't sit down in front of men."

"In what age is there still such a rule?"

Nan Yanzi bowed her head and stopped talking. She is one of the few people in the village who likes to run down the mountain, and she also knows that the outside world is already very open, but what can she do?As a member of Gaoluzhai, she can only accept the rules on the mountain.

Han Qi looked at her for a long time, then stood up, feeling very uncomfortable.

Yujiao came up and took his hand and shook it.

Han Qi shook his head to show that he was fine, and led Xiao Yujiao to push open the wooden door that didn't need a lock, looking at the village outside and the fertile fields in the distance.

He thought it was heaven.

But maybe he was wrong.

The scenery here can be called heaven, but the humanities...

It can only be said to be a primitive society.

He didn't want to eat here. He remembered that there were some compressed foods, candies, chocolates and so on in his travel bag. At this time, he regretted that he didn't bring these things up so that he could distribute the candies to the children in the village.

The house is so poor, how can he have the nerve to stay in someone else's house to eat?
But Nan Yanzi came over, handed the peeled oranges to Han Qi, and said:
"It's strange, isn't it? The old people in the village haven't been down the mountain for many years. They don't know what's changed below the mountain. The unfair treatment of the people in the city has also made many elders more and more closed. They don't even want us to go down the mountain. .”

The poorer you are, the less willing you are to change, right?

Han Qi took the orange and said, "If you can study, I think you can be admitted to a prestigious school. You are very smart and logical."

Nan Yanzi tilted her head, thinking about what logic meant.

Han Qi smiled.

Nan Yanzi also laughed, without thinking about it, and said: "Don't think so much, I'll cook tonight, thank you for coming to our village as a guest. But you have to tell me the story outside, the neighbor next door I'll clean up the room for you in a while."

Han Qi nodded and said, "I will pay."

"In our Gaolu village, food is the least valuable thing. You can only eat it yourself, so you don't have to pay for it."

They live on this mountain. Although they have their own ID cards, they do not need to pay taxes because their annual income is too small. The money from the subsistence allowance also goes down the mountain to exchange for candles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and necessary daily necessities. .

Therefore, although it looks very poor, the poverty in Gaoluzhai is different from that in many other remote areas.

At least they can afford to eat.

After Han Qi learned this, she let go of her psychological burden, but still decided to pay a sum of money when she left.

However, Han Qi soon felt the inconvenience of Gaoluzhai.

The signal here is very low, the phone cannot be connected, and the network is not available at all, only occasionally receiving a text message or two.

This is for a modern person.

It is punishment.
