…
Jiyang Town.
It is located in the heart of the Miao region of western Hunan, which is the closest township to the inland areas.
The town is not large, but it is located in the middle of several nearby towns.
Due to its geographical location, the area is especially lively on market days.
For the Miao people of western Hunan in the 1990s, their location deep in the mountains made transportation extremely inconvenient.
Going to the outskirts of the market became an indispensable place for contacting the outside world and exchanging goods and services.
On the day of the border market, Miao people from all the surrounding villages would come in groups.
The border market in Jiyang town is much more crowded because there is only one main road.
The main road in town is lined with low, dilapidated wooden houses.
But on the main road--
It was bustling with people, lively and lively.
They sell everything from firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, and even silver jewelry. However, due to various limitations, the Miao people's standard of living is not ideal.
Of course, besides buying and selling goods, there are also Miao girls and boys who come to the border market, hoping to find wives or partners.
therefore--
On the main road, goods are bought and sold.
The slightly wider areas on both sides served as temporary venues for folk songs, bullfighting, and Lusheng (a traditional reed pipe instrument) performances.
There was even a Miao fighting arena.
The so-called Miao fighting arena was set up privately by the Miao people.
It is used to resolve grudges between people, or as a place to arrange a fight.
In the Miao fighting arena, anything goes as long as no one dies.
Furthermore, the entire venue was surrounded by people who came to the market, making it impossible for town officials to enter.
But even if you get in, what can you do?
Let alone a few people, even if dozens or hundreds come, the Miao people will respond to your call and crush you!
now--
Ah Chen, who had already arrived in Ji Yang Town, was searching among the vendors near the Miao Battleground with Li A Yin and Shi A Lei.
Their group of a hundred people was nothing unusual compared to the thousands of Miao people in Bianbianchang.
So, no one paid much attention to the large-scale search that Ah Chen and his group had made for someone.
If there's anything that matters, it's the appearance of Shi A Lei from the Red Seedlings, after all, Shi A Lei has considerable prestige.
soon--
"Brother Lei, I see him. Hei Miao A Xu is eating at the stall on the right."
At this moment, the Miao man that Shi Alei brought rushed over.
Ah Chen simply asked him to lead the way.
A few minutes later--
Sure enough, I saw Black Miao Ah Xu at the stalls in the area below the mound.
Without a second thought, Ah Chen went straight there.
Here are some simple sheds set up by Miao families, where they cook a little food and sell it to Miao people who come from afar to attend the local market.
The price isn't high either; a bowl of noodles costs only 50 cents.
If you add noodles and an egg, it's 70 cents; if you add a few slices of meat, it's a dollar.
Seeing all this, Ah Chen realized that the cost of living here was even lower than he had imagined.
But it makes sense, everyone was poor, and eggs only cost five cents each.
Besides, the environment here is terrible; the stall is covered in mud. If the price is too high...
Are the Miao people willing to eat this?
Can you afford it?
In just a short while, Ah Chen arrived and witnessed a scene of bartering.
A large rooster, probably weighing five or six pounds, was only priced at twelve yuan by the woman selling it.
The result was that many people asked about it, but no one bought it.
What they want to buy is a hen.
A hen can lay eggs, and the eggs can hatch into chicks.
The chicken lays the egg, and the egg hatches the chicken.
This cycle continues, and money can be made.
Who would buy a rooster for no reason?
"Ah Chen, what are you thinking about? Watch your step, there's a hole!"
When Ah Chen was lost in thought, Li Ayin, who was next to him, reminded him.
Shi A-Lei patted A-Chen on the shoulder and said, "A-Yi, don't be afraid. Go ahead and fight. I'll take responsibility for what happens next."
You're taking the blame for me?
This is the Miao people's way of life --
Achen felt a strange warmth in his heart, knowing that Shi Alei knew nothing about him, Mu Achen!
To be precise, Shi Alei was going to help Li Ayin's cousin, Li Ayi.
But regardless of who it was, Ah Chen had a pretty good impression of Shi A Lei, who was standing next to him.
after--
Ah Chen and the others bypassed the muddy puddles filled with water. The Red Miao brother pointed to a corner of the stall and said to Shi A Lei:
“There he is! See him? There are a few Black Miao people with him.”
"Go, block all his escape routes!"
"I'll go right now--"
"Need not."
Li Ayin raised her hand to stop the red-haired Miaolang who had already turned around, and said to Achen, "I'll go, you just watch from the side!"
"No, I—"
"Listen to me on this. You just watch from the side. I'll report your share as well."
Li Ayin's sudden stop of Achen was naturally due to his own considerations.
Regardless, Achen is the future Miao King. In a few days, his identity will be revealed, and he will no longer hide it. After all, some things are not good to hide.
But Ah Chen said, "What's there to be afraid of! Brother Ah Yin, you stay here and watch, I'll reimburse your share."
As soon as the voice faded, Ah Chen went over.
"Ah... Yi!!"
Li Ayin couldn't stop him.
Shi Alei said, "Ayi's personality hasn't changed at all, it's just my type! Let's go, let's keep up."
When Ah Chen arrived, he didn't immediately take action.
Instead, he went around to Hei Miao A Xu to confirm that he hadn't mistaken him for someone else.
Then--
It's confirmed.
Ah Chen sat down directly on the bench.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you sit at our table!"
The man who spoke was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Miao boy, and even the other two Miao boys looked at Achen's actions with a fierce expression.
