Just a second ago, Ah Chen was thinking about how the Black Miao Miao Lang was messing around with the Gu powder.
But who knew--
The shout of "The Spirit Maiden is here!" from the red-haired Miaolang who rushed in instantly pulled him back to his senses and startled Li Ayin as well.
Li Ayin's first reaction was to look at Achen, who gestured for him to wait and see.
Hongmiao Alei jumped up and asked, "Where?"
"under!"
"The spirit maiden has come so late; it must be something important. Let's go quickly—"
"Wait, Brother Lei, wait a minute."
The Miao man stopped A Lei and said, "The spirit maiden has arrived, but she is just passing through our Miao village. Come out and see, there are so many people."
Upon hearing this, A-Lei hurriedly moved outside.
Ah Chen and Ah Yin also came out.
Below the slope.
Although a thin mist shrouded the country road, in the darkness here—
The scene of hundreds of strong Miao people riding past on horseback, carrying torches, and the sound of their hooves seemed to tear apart the tranquility of the night.
Impressive!
In front of the dilapidated and simple wooden house, Ah Chen, who had already stepped out, looked at this scene and had a strange feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
But given the weather, this is the lowest temperature of the day, barely reaching seven or eight degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the spirit maidens and their companions were still on the country road late at night—
What are they doing?
Please don't look for me!
Otherwise, it's so cold, and I'd only make them suffer.
"In the dead of night, the Spirit Maiden has left the inner border. Is there something particularly important that she has to do? Have you inquired about it?" A-Lei asked the Miao man beside him.
The Miao man turned around and said, "I don't know! But just a few hours ago, the village chief ordered that anyone in the village who has a Hakka person staying overnight should be informed immediately. The old women are also checking."
"What are you investigating? Whose house was burgled?"
“It wasn’t theft, and the village chief and the old women didn’t say anything about it, but we all felt like they were looking for someone.”
Looking for someone?
When these words reached the ears of Li Ayin and Achen, their first instinct was to look for Achen.
"By the way, Brother Lei, these two people here are—they're not local Black Miao people. If that's the case, you should report it to the chieftain."
"Get lost! They're my brothers. I haven't seen them in years. Hurry up and bring me the wine. Then go down the mountain and cook some food. Tonight, I'm going to have a good drink with my brothers."
Hong Miao A Lei immediately gave the orders, but the Miao man said with a frustrated look, "Brother A Lei, don't you even look at the time? It's two or three in the morning."
"Who cares what time it is, hurry up and go. Call a few more brothers to go with you, catch a chicken and a duck, kill them, clean them and prepare them, bring them here, and we'll eat here."
Forehead--
"Okay! Then you have to let me eat a few more pieces of meat."
This Miao man was really funny; as soon as he finished speaking, he took off running.
Ah Chen and the others returned to the wooden house.
Although the wooden house was drafty, Hongmiao Alei turned the fire up really big.
The key is--
Ah Chen and Li A Yin's hands really hurt.
As for Lei, the host, he was very polite.
They took great care of everything.
Unfortunately, this was just a makeshift wooden shed on a hillside.
He would stay here at night, looking out over the tea plantation next door. Otherwise, if he were at home in the Miao village down the mountain, he would surely find something he wouldn't normally be able to afford.
He and A-Yin hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
Even Ah Chen would occasionally be teased by Ah Lei, since Ah Lei and "Ah Yi" knew each other.
soon--
About an hour later, the Red Miao brother who had left earlier brought back the slaughtered chicken and duck meat.
"Wow, that was fast!"
Li Ayin quickly took it, but as soon as he raised his hand, he couldn't take it anymore; his arm was clearly in pain, a piercing pain.
"Alright, you sit down, I'll do it."
Firewood, wooden frame.
It was placed by the fire, in a medium-sized iron pot.
In those days, everyone was poor, and killing chickens and ducks to entertain guests was no small feat.
Even if the seasonings don't have the same flavoring and deodorizing ingredients that are available now, they still retain the most original taste.
Upon smelling the aroma, Ah Chen couldn't resist grabbing a small piece and putting it in his mouth.
"Great! The spiciness is good too."
“Ah Yi, you’re still the same as before. Even though your hand doesn’t hurt anymore, you still use it directly.”
When Hongmiao asked Alei, Achen chuckled and said, "It hurts, but the taste... is so good, so incredibly good."
“Lei, with ‘Yi’ on your name, you should be secretly happy no matter who made this chicken and duck,” Li Ayin said tactfully.
The Red Miao prince next to him didn't know what was going on. He didn't say a word, but he secretly sized up Li Ayin.
"Brother Lei, you guys keep drinking, I'll go get some firewood!"
After he finished speaking, the Miao prince went out.
But he didn't return for half a day, so Ah Chen and Ah Yin didn't take it to heart.
The main attraction was the dry pot of firewood-cooked chicken and duck. I don't know who made it, but it was incredibly fragrant, and the meat was even better than what Ah Chen and the others ate in town today.
However--
Just as Ah Chen and his friends were enjoying their meal on this side of the slope, at the entrance to the Miao village at the foot of the mountain—
Dozens of strong Miao men and the most beautiful girls, carrying torches, gazed at the direction of the slope in the windy night, while several grass witches from the nearby Miao village also arrived.
They were surrounding none other than Mi A'ling, the spirit maiden of western Hunan.
Mi A'ling was originally going to visit Li A'yin's Miao relatives in western Hunan, and was already on her way, but unexpectedly---
The grass ghost sent a message saying there was a new discovery, and all the descriptions matched the person she was looking for.
