Dawn.
The mountain scenery is picturesque, and the beauty and tranquility gradually fill the hearts of every Miao person.
Ah Chen, who has already arrived at Pianpo, is working hand in hand with the Holy Maiden Ah Mo.
Everywhere they looked was lush and verdant.
This location is the mountain range behind Que Dongzhai.
Here, clouds and mist gently swirl around like gauze, and the Miao villages, canyons, waterfalls, and rivers below are like a fairyland, breathtakingly beautiful.
This scene made Ah Chen even want to live with the seedlings.
It's so beautiful!
Especially the area they had just passed through, where mountain streams flowed gently.
The sound of water is crisp and pleasant!
Like heavenly music!
That tranquility and harmony was intoxicating.
"Ah Chen, come on up quickly!"
"Achen, come up from this side."
When Ah Chen and Ah Mo emerged from the dense forest, they were startled by the scene before them.
Thousands of people were in a gap on this slope.
"Ah Chen, why don't you take the main road over there? There are too many poisonous creatures down there."
This middle-aged man wrapped his head in cloth, creating a unique "hat-like" decoration.
Wearing a short-sleeved jacket and trousers gives off a calm and mysterious vibe.
The overall style is simple yet sophisticated.
This is the men's clothing of the short-skirted Miao branch, one of the twelve branches of the Miao people.
The one speaking was Ah Chen's maternal uncle, Ah Chen's mother's elder brother.
Ah Chen bowed slightly and called out, "Uncle."
"Achen, no, you are the future Miao King."
Uncle hurriedly placed his hands on his chest as a gesture of respect to Ah Chen and the Holy Maiden Ah Mo.
“My mother is my uncle, and Chen is a junior. As Mo is his wife, he deserves my gift!” Mo also gave a gift.
Now, the entire Miao branch of the Short Skirt Miao are giving gifts!
On the slope, in addition to the short-skirted seedlings, there are two other branches: the white-skirted seedlings and the long-skirted seedlings.
The Miao people, regardless of age or gender, came to offer the highest rites to the future Miao King and Holy Maiden.
Uncle held Ah Chen's hand tightly and said with relief, "Ah Yu can rest in peace now!"
“Ah Chen, when you came to our Jimiao Ancient Village that day, your uncle was out and couldn’t see you.”
When Ah Chen heard his uncle mention his mother's name, he felt a pang of bitterness and sadness, but he still smiled and said, "I left in a hurry too!"
"Ah Chen, are you feeling any better?"
The old woman who walked over is from the Bai Miao branch.
Ah Chen saw her when he first woke up that day; she and the old woman from Qingmiao Balang Ancient Village were examining him together.
"Oh, grandma, what brings you here? This road is difficult to walk on."
Ah Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Miao's grandmother, saying, "She's all better now, the Holy Maiden took good care of her!"
“With the Holy Maiden by your side, we old women can rest assured! This road will not be difficult for this old woman.”
As she spoke, the old woman made an arc with her bent fingers, placed them against her chest, and bowed slightly to the saintess, Amo.
Amo simply nodded slightly, without saying anything.
this---
But she's the highest-ranking grass witch among the Miao people!
Soon, surrounded by the strongest Miao men and the most beautiful girls from the three branches, Achen and Amo continued their ascent up the hillside.
Although it is a slope, the gradient is not steep.
A series of stepped formations extend all the way to the mountaintop.
At the mountaintop, there was a vast grassland.
A rather magnificent waterfall is right next to it, with a powerful flow that pours all the way down to the river at the bottom of the valley.
This height is probably three or four hundred meters.
Ah Chen is currently surrounded by clouds and mist.
It's already 10:30 in the morning, and there's still such a thick fog here, giving it an enchanting, otherworldly feel.
The scenery on both sides is vast, with light clouds and mist creating a picturesque scene. The babbling of streams can be heard in the air. On the right side, at the foot of the highest peak, there is a lake.
The lake is not large, but the reflections on its surface are shimmering.
call---
Ah Chen let out a heavy sigh of relief; the air was so fresh!
"Ah Chen, do you like this place?"
Amo brought three village elders over, saying, "If you like it, you can build a stilted house here! Look around, it's lush and green everywhere! The Long Skirt Miao, White Miao, and Short Skirt Miao all have villages nearby."
"Amo. Actually, we had our eyes on this place when we passed by that day!"
Really?
"Yeah! I just wanted to look around more at the time."
Ah Chen nodded, which made the Miao people from the three branches here extremely happy.
If Ah Chen and the Holy Maiden were to live here, it would be an exceptional favor to their three branches, and they would surely be the envy of the other branches.
"Ah Chen!"
Amo took out the topographic map drawn by Achen, which she had marked.
"The total area you requested is 1,800 mu. According to your sketch, it's the large area we're looking at right now, plus the area over the canyon."
"It's all the territory of the three branches of the Miao: the White Miao, the Long Skirt Miao, and the Short Skirt Miao."
"There is only one suspension bridge across the canyon. If you also want the land over there, the suspension bridge will need to be reinforced."
Ah Chen nodded, "It's good that it can be reinforced. I'm just worried that the canyon is too high and can't be reinforced."
"You don't need to worry about that. We Miao people have craftsmen in this field. They will come to reinforce it whenever you need it."
With Amo by his side, Achen felt that handling many things was really easy.
After all, Amo knows a lot. Once Achen has discussed something with her and reached a conclusion, Amo will immediately arrange everything else for him.
Just like now.
"Ah Chen, most of what you want is on the side slopes."
