"Hey, can't you see, brother Jiuri, do you still know about Rao Jiang?"
"Why do you want me to behave like this in front of my eldest sister?"
Li Dabao clasped his feet with one hand and looked at me sideways.
There was a nonchalant but somewhat surprised look on his face.
It seems that I know that Raojiang is a very strange place.
However, it is no wonder that he looked surprised. Many people may have never heard of the word Rao Jiang.
I also heard about it in my grandfather’s stories when I was a child, and later I heard Uncle Yan mention it a few times.
The current geographical location of Raojiang should be deep in the Shiwan Mountains of Yunnan.
It is within the scope of Miao territory, but it belongs to the entire system that is completely separate from Miao territory.
There is no other reason, because Raojiang is the birthplace of the entire Miao territory, but in the long history, the term Raojiang is just a flash in the pan.
They live in seclusion in the mountains all year round and rarely have contact with outsiders. Most of the people in Raojiang are Miao people, but there are also a small number of descendants left over from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
It can be said that Raojiang belongs to a multi-ethnic tribe dominated by the Miao people!
In the official historical documents, the appearance of Rao Jiang was only mentioned in a few words in the Later Han Dynasty.
But my grandfather told me that Rao Jiang appeared three times in the entire history of China.
The first time was during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Rao Jiang was involved in the famous Fengming Qishan Incident.
Although the geographical location of the Western Zhou Dynasty is far away from that of Raojiang, these were all found on the murals in a tomb when my grandfather was robbing tombs in Yunnan.
It is unknown whether the tomb was ultimately subjected to rescue archaeological excavation.
The second appearance of Rao Jiang should be during the period of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
The first generation of Dian kings met the leaders of Raojiang and established their own ancient Dian dynasty relying on the entire tribe of Raojiang.
Although the entire ancient Dian Kingdom did not last long in history, Rao Jiang's important position in it cannot be replaced by others.
As for the third time Rao Jiang appeared, it should be in the late Tang Dynasty, the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Grandpa didn't say much about this, or maybe he didn't know much about it at all.
But one thing is particularly certain, that is, it is an integral part of Raojiang.
There are twelve branch tribes in Raojiang. According to legend, these twelve branches are called Raojiang Twelve Cave.
They are distributed in the hinterland of the Hundred Thousand Great Gods, and each tribe has its own unique secrets, unique abilities, and techniques.
Later, there should be only two types of witches and Gu that were really passed down, so the current Miao territory was formed.
At the same time, the Miao territory is also divided into green seedlings, white seedlings and flower seedlings, and the technologies that each Miao village is good at are completely different.
This is very similar to the former Rao Jiang!
Before Li Dabao and Leng Yue left, they said they were going to prepare some equipment, and I would naturally pay for the equipment.
When I asked why, Li Dabao said with full reason: "Why, you are the employer and the fifth master, and now you are half of our little boss."
"You don't have to pay for it, we are all working part-time, so just bring the money, and my eldest sister and I will go to the market to purchase equipment. The whole process will take more than half a month."
"We will be able to go sand hunting in Yunnan by then..."
Li Dabao was talking happily, his face glowing red, as if he would be able to get a lot of ghost weapons in the next moment.
Although I was extremely reluctant, I still asked Uncle Chen to withdraw 20,000 yuan and give it to Li Dabao.
What surprised Li Dabao was that Leng Yue didn't seem to be interested in purchasing equipment, so in the end this hard work fell to Li Dabao.
Li Dabao was so angry that he cried and asked me to give him money for processing.
As for Leng Yue, after Li Dabao left in front of me in his Santana 2000, she asked me in a low voice if there was a guest room for her to rest.
After learning that Uncle Chen had prepared the room, Leng Yue glanced at me, nodded lightly, got up and left back to the room.
Until dinner time, Leng Yue was never seen coming out.
So when we had dinner in the evening, it was still Uncle Chen and I.
During the meal, Uncle Chen asked me if I had decided to go to Yunnan.
I wiped out the last mouthful of rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Uncle Chen, there are some things you can do or not do. I thought I would be able to ignore the things outside the window if I put them behind so many things."
"But you have seen and heard how complicated the current situation is. Even if I don't go now, something will happen later if I don't protect everything."
"What's more, the 'curse' on me is still fulfilled. After all, I don't have much time left to live."
"In this case, why don't I do something meaningful to me and our entire family in my limited time?"
Uncle Chen pondered for a long time after hearing this, and then sighed in a low voice: "My child, you are stronger than I thought."
"You are the only child of your old Chen family. Your Uncle Yan has never wanted you to get involved in the world, but I didn't expect that now..."
Uncle Chen didn't finish his words, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
Finally, he sighed: "In the world of martial arts, it's easy to get in but hard to get out!"
"Like when I said I was withdrawing from the circle, there were many people who secretly and openly wanted me to die. In the end, it was your father who made a trick before he died that took me out of it."
"Now that they have found you, Uncle Chen also supports your choice. As the saying goes, the rich and the poor cannot survive for three generations. This sentence applies to all walks of life."
"From your grandfather to your father to you, I hope that you can completely terminate the position of Taosha official in the limited time."
Uncle Chen's words today were always vague, as if he meant what he meant, but when I asked him, he shook his head and kept smiling bitterly.
Because Leng Yue had not eaten, Uncle Chen asked me to deliver the meal specially reserved for Leng Yue to her.
He also said to me very mysteriously: "You are not young anymore. I saw that the girl is very handsome. In our time, when we were your age, the children could already do soy sauce!"
I smiled awkwardly at Uncle Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, you still have the nerve to accuse me. You've been a bachelor all your life, so worry about yourself first."
Hearing this, Uncle Chen looked serious: "You child, how do you know that your Uncle Chen is an old bachelor, and I am not satisfied with you. You, Uncle Chen, and I have already had a matchmaker appointment when I was eighteen years old. The child is almost inseparable from you now." ."
When Uncle Chen mentioned that he had a child, I never expected this.
I originally thought he was an old bachelor, but I didn't expect him to get married so early.
But when I wanted to ask Uncle Chen about his own affairs, Uncle Chen smiled and asked me to hurry up and deliver the food.
I reluctantly carried the food, walked out of the yard, came to the door of the west side house and knocked twice.
"Miss Leng, are you asleep?"
I asked symbolically, but no one answered in the room. Just when I was about to put down the food and turn around to go back, Leng Yue opened the door from the inside.
Seeing me carrying the food, he turned aside to let me in.
When I walked into the house, I smelled a light musk smell. This musk smell was not the pure Chinese medicine musk smell.
It is lighter, even mixed with a faint jasmine fragrance. I wonder if Leng Yue wears perfume on her body. This kind of perfume is specially formulated.
She had taken off her windbreaker, revealing the black vest underneath. Her proud figure made me a little stunned.
"Hmph...all the stuff along the way!"
Leng Yue's cold snort made me come out of my daze. I coughed awkwardly twice and put the food on the table and retreated hastily.
When I went back to prepare to rest, Uncle Chen asked me nervously if I felt uncomfortable?
I was a little surprised and asked Uncle Chen what was wrong.
Uncle Chen didn't say anything, he just pulled me in front of the mirror and motioned for me to look at it myself.
This is not important.
It turned out that blood flowed out of my nose at some point. Although it was not much, it was obvious.
I wiped the blood from the tip of my nose with my hand, feeling extremely embarrassed. Could it be that I was like this when I saw a beautiful woman?
That's too hopeless.
But that was not the case. The next morning I was hurriedly shaken awake by Uncle Chen.
I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Uncle Chen with a panicked look on his face, and he kept urging me to go to the hospital.
I asked Uncle Chen what happened.
Uncle Chen groaned and said, "You don't know anything, your face is covered with blood...!"
