After saying that, she waved her whip and drove the yak towards the mountains not far away.
We all got out of the car and stood aside waiting.
About ten minutes later, Xiaodouya appeared again, followed by more than a dozen people.
These people were all wearing distinctive Shaomin costumes, and everyone's face was filled with great joy, as if they had encountered a huge happy event.
Seeing those villagers, Liao Xianer was also very happy and waved her hands to say hello to them.
"Uncle Dorje, Sister Dolma, Brother Tashi, I'm here..."
The villagers couldn't help but quicken their pace and soon ran over.
"Sister Xianer, you are finally back!"
"Xian'er, the folks have missed you very much these days when you have been away!"
"You must stay longer this time. That brat of mine has been clamoring to learn Taoism from you."
While responding to the villagers' questions, Liao Xianer asked the truck driver to take out the farmers' women's products and distribute them to the villagers.
"Folks, these are the grains, oils, rice and noodles brought from our hometown. Please accept them. I will bring you some more when I have time next time!"
The villagers were not too polite and happily took over the goods. Lonnie and I had nothing to do, so we helped the driver unload all the agricultural and sideline products and distributed them to the villagers.
Soon, a cart of agricultural and sideline products was distributed. Liao Xianer took out a few banknotes and handed them to the driver, then asked them to return the way they came.
Surrounded by the villagers, we walked towards the village not far away.
On the way, Liao Xianer told us about her origins with these villagers.
It turns out that these villagers all live at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, just below Liao Xianer's mountain gate. The name of the village is Laoniuwan.
When Liao Xianer was practicing at Shanmen, he would often go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities, so he became familiar with the villagers of He Laoniuwan.
Because of its remote location, most of the villagers in Laoniuwan make a living by herding, the conditions are relatively backward, and there are often evil spirits.
Every time Liao Xianer goes down the mountain, she helps the villagers get rid of evil spirits, imparts some modern knowledge, and often even asks her family to mail some cash crop planting techniques to help the villagers develop side businesses.
With the help of Liao Xian'er, the evil spirits that often caused trouble in Laoniu Bay were driven away, the villagers' horizons were broadened, and their economic conditions were greatly improved. It is precisely for this reason that everyone treats Liao Xian'er as close to family members.
More than two years ago, Liao Xianer received instructions from the old lady and returned to the family to help find Wu Zi. She never came back since then. ,
It was precisely for this reason that the villagers of Laoniu Bay were so surprised when they saw Liao Xian'er suddenly appeared.
"Mr. Liao's ancient approach is so warm and heartwarming that we really admire him."
After listening to Liao Xianer's story, I couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Mr. Cheng, you're welcome. I just did something that I could do, nothing great."
Liao Xian'er said modestly: "Isn't the ultimate goal of us as Taoists to eliminate the evil spirits that infest the people, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a peaceful and happy life?"
"Although I can't let everyone live such a life, I can do a little within my ability."
While we were talking, we had arrived at Laoniuwan. Dozens of villagers had gathered at the entrance of the village, and everyone was rushing to say hello to Liao Xianer.
After hearing about the purpose of our trip, everyone invited us to stay at their homes.
"Sister Xian'er, please bring your friends to live in my house. My youngest son is still talking about learning Taoism from you."
A plump middle-aged woman said with enthusiasm.
"You'd better come to my house. I just slaughtered a yak. I'll treat everyone to beef tonight!"
An old man smoking a dry cigarette also took the initiative to invite us.
"Sister Xian'er, come to my house. I have a lot of room..."
"You'd better come to my house, my bed is comfortable to sleep on!"
All the villagers rushed to invite us to stay, as if it was a great honor for Liao Xianer to live in someone's home.
"Folks……"
Seeing how enthusiastic the villagers were, Liao Xianer waved her hand and explained her purpose to everyone with a smile.
"We understand everyone's wishes. I will definitely meet your requests when I have time in the future. However, this time we have a mission and we will go to the mountain gate early tomorrow morning."
"Dundup's mother has more free rooms in her house, so let's stay at her house."
Dunzhu's mother is an old woman in her fifties. When she heard that Liao Xian'er was going to live in her home, she immediately smiled and was as excited as if she had won the lottery.
"Okay, Miss Xian'er can live in my house. That is a blessing I have earned over several lifetimes!"
"Everyone, please follow me!"
After finishing speaking, Dunzhu's mother turned around and walked deeper into the village.
Seeing that Liao Xian'er had chosen to live in someone else's house, the other villagers were a little disappointed, but they didn't say much. They just asked Liao Xian'er to come and sit at their home when they had time.
It wasn't until Liao Xian'er agreed to everyone's request that all the villagers reluctantly left.
After that, we followed Dunzup’s mother and walked into a house located at the west end of the village.
The courtyard is not big, but it is kept clean. There are several yaks raised in the courtyard, and there are several wing rooms on both sides of the main house, which is the room we stayed in today.
"Miss Xian'er, you and the guests have a rest first, I'll go prepare dinner right away!"
After inviting us to sit down, Dunzhu’s mother ran to the kitchen and started cooking without stopping.
After a while, the dining table was filled with dishes, and the aroma filled the air for a while, making me move my index fingers.
Barley wine, yak meat, fried noodles, and tsampa, although very simple, are quite ethnic.
"Miss Xian'er, distinguished guests, please enjoy your dinner."
After Dunzhu's mother said with a smile, she brought over several sets of cutlery, picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of beef for each of us, put it on the silver plate in front of us, and invited everyone to eat.
However, I don't care about eating now, I just feel very surprised.
Exquisite silver plates, nearly transparent crystal cups, sparkling knives and forks... No matter how you look at these tableware, they don't match these poor herdsmen.
Picking up the silver plate, I looked carefully and found a lifelike picture drawn under the mouth of the silver plate. On the front of the picture, there seemed to be a knight holding a long sword and wearing armor!
What this picture depicts is clearly a European knight from the Middle Ages. How could he appear in this village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain?
In confusion, I picked up the crystal cup, only to find a black air rising slowly from the bottom of the cup, and quickly dissipated!
