Chapter 348 The Bad Customs of the Dulong People

Chapter 477 The Bad Customs of the Dulong People

The night is already deep.

While Ling Yan was driving, Shen Xiluo insisted on accompanying Ling Yan, so neither of them slept.

"Ling Yan, go back this time...Actually, there is one more thing, let me tell you!"

Shen Xiluo looked at Ling Yan's side face timidly, and said with a helpless tone.

"Huh? Is there something that you can't tell me directly?"

Ling Yan smiled brightly, he was a little sleepy now, but the car carried the closest relatives in his life, so he still drove the car with all his strength, because the roads in this area were rugged, and there was no way to avoid it. He wanted to get out of this path, and then find a place to stop and rest.

Now they have entered the Nanzhong area, but they are still more than 100 kilometers away from Dulong Village, and the closer they are to Dulong Village, the more difficult the road will be.

"My coming-of-age ceremony... I want a facial tattoo... I..."

Shen Xiluo was reluctant to tell Ling Yan about this along the way, but now the closer she was to home, the more nervous she felt.

So she gritted her teeth and told the story.

Hearing the three words of coming-of-age ceremony, Ling Yan's mind suddenly went blank.

In her previous life, Shen Xiluo didn't go to Dulong Village when she was a freshman, barely avoiding her coming-of-age ceremony, but later she was with Ling Yan, and decided not to set foot in Dulong Village again in this life!

But in this life, Ling Yan has forgotten this cruel reality. The coming-of-age ceremony in Dulong Village is not like the coming-of-age ceremony we usually know. The latter is a festive ceremony. Relatives and friends will be invited to celebrate together. Li, is very cruel, it can be said that it is inhumane.

The coming-of-age ceremony in Dulong Village is an inhuman and cruel etiquette that is incomprehensible to others.

There are only about [-] people in the huge Dulong Village, and it is customary for women to have face tattoos when they become adults. At the coming-of-age ceremony, the clansmen tie the woman receiving the coming-of-age ceremony to a bench, and use a sharpened wooden stick to pestle the woman's head. On the face, the wooden stick was repeatedly hit with a hammer, causing the woman's face to be bloody and bloody, and then the black powder of notoginseng powder and carbon ash that had been reconciled in advance was sprinkled on the adult woman's face, on the one hand to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, on the other hand, the woman's face It was tattooed black.

Dulong Village is not a village, but a clan of people!They mainly live in the Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture and GSDLZNZ Autonomous County in the south, central and northwest, and the valleys on both sides of the Dulong River.

In the past, the Dulong people did not have a unified ethnic name, and often used the area or river where they lived as their own name, such as "Dulong", "Dima" and so on. "Qiu Ren", "Qiu Qu" and "Qi Ren" are what other people call them.

After the founding of the New Kingdom, it was officially named Dulong!The Dulong River Valley is in a semi-isolated and closed state from the outside world, and the Nanzhong government once retained relatively strong characteristics of the late primitive society.

The Dulong people are engaged in extensive slash-and-burn agriculture, and gathering and hunting account for a considerable proportion of family sidelines.

Dulong Village has its own language without words!People like Shen Xiluo who can go all the way to go to college outside are the phoenix among the Dulong people.

The language belongs to an independent language branch of the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family, and some people, such as Shen Xiluo, are proficient in Chinese.

The Dulong people are still following the coming-of-age ceremony of facial tattooing, in order to prevent their own people from intermarrying with other races!Women are too beautiful, so after getting facial tattoos, they will be ugly, and people outside will look down on them.

The coming-of-age ceremony of the Wa people is "tooth dyeing" and "burning the crotch". Ceremony clansmen use torches to make fire and throw sparks on the body of the recipient until the men and women who accept the adult ceremony are burned to pieces.

Therefore, Ling Yan knew a lot about these weird and cruel coming-of-age rites, but this time he didn't notice it at all!Now that Shen Xiluo mentioned it, Ling Yan frowned immediately.

"Let's go back."

While Ling Yan was speaking, he braked directly, parked the car in the middle of the road, then put it into R gear, turned the car around, and then drove towards the road when he came.

"No...don't, Ling Yan, I miss Mom! Let's take Mom and Grandma with us, shall we?"

While Shen Xiluo was speaking, tears welled up in her red phoenix eyes. She could feel that Ling Yan was thinking about her. She was moved and really missed her mother and grandma.

"Kuhanhan, if you don't tell me, I really forgot, the coming-of-age ceremony in your hometown is simply not acceptable to normal people! I don't want my Kuhanhan tattooed, I can't go back, let's go back to Chahar. "

Ling Yan's attitude was firm, and he was no longer sleepy, so he drove the car stubbornly back.

"Ling Yan, I... I listen to you, but it's late now, let's not go anymore, just park in the open space in front, rest for a night before leaving, you are too tired."

Shen Xiluo looked at Ling Yan with concern, and said warmly in her heart.

"Well, then rest here for the night! We will return early tomorrow morning."

Ling Yan's unquestionable voice reached Shen Xiluo's ears, and the timid and naive girl nodded, didn't speak, just looked at Ling Yan quietly.

Ling Yan parked the car in the open space. There is no car cover tonight, but the Mercedes-Benz ML320 has curtains. After the curtains are drawn, the space inside the car is still an extremely private environment.

Just like that, the two of them flattened the seat and lay down on it just like last night! Ling Yan felt no sleepiness at all.

He searched for the steps of the coming-of-age ceremony in Dulong Village in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was unacceptable!

His Kuhanhan is so beautiful, it would be a pity if he got a tattoo of something black on his face?

It's not that Shen Xiwei has become ugly, he doesn't like the latter, but he thinks it's too cruel!This kind of evil custom is full of feudalism and ordinary people can't understand.

"Look what I do? Is my face dirty?"

Ling Yan thought about it, and noticed that the naive girl lying beside her was staring at him with a pair of melancholy red phoenix eyes in a daze, and suddenly asked with a bright smile.

"Ah? No, I didn't look at you..."

Shen Xiluo was discovered by Ling Yan on the spot that she was a nympho, and her pretty face was covered with redness in embarrassment, and she timidly refused to admit it.

"I know you think I'm handsome, and you always want me! But how can this handsome guy let you get it easily? Go to sleep, and you have to hurry tomorrow."

Ling Yan smiled smugly, and said tightly around Shen Xiluo's arm.

"Oh, you sleep too!"

Shen Xiluo stared at Ling Yan with a pair of big eyes. After Ling Yan closed her eyes, she closed them...

In the middle of the night, Ling Yan let out an even snoring sound. He also drove all day today, and after he relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep.

But Shen Xiluo really never fell asleep at first...

"Ling Yan, I'm sorry, I can't go back to Chahar with you! If I want to be with you, I must get blessings from my relatives at the coming-of-age ceremony! Only then can we be happy."

"Don't worry, I won't accept facial tattoos! After I go back, I will let my grandma and mother give me a coming-of-age ceremony, and then we will sneak out, and then go to Chahar to find you."

"Don't look for me, just go back obediently! It is impossible for Dulong Village to accept you. If you go back with me, the village chief will definitely drive you out."

"Thank you, it's you who made my black and white world colorful, it's you who let me see the wonderful world outside, Ling Yan, I like you, I can't live without you..."

Shen Xiluo quietly sat up in the car, took out a small notebook from her bag, wrote a paragraph, tore it off and placed it gently on Ling Yan's body, then gently opened the car door, got out of the car, He closed the door gently again.

Shen Xiluo left, and in the middle of the night, she walked towards Dulong Village on foot!
It is more than 100 kilometers away from Dulong Village. It is reasonable for her to go home on foot, but this is Nanzhong, and Shen Xiluo grew up here. If she wants to go home, she should not walk the whole way.
