In addition, Tian Yuzhu had seen the female cadre more than once. She was the team leader of the security team, and once she took the lead in catching the one-eyed man.
The female cadre introduced herself, her name was Song Fang, and she was the team leader of the security team.
Let everyone call her Captain Song.
Rong Fang is worthy of being a security guard. Although he is not tall, his eyes are sharp and shrewd.
Before anyone else could speak, she questioned, "Comrade Tian Yuzhu, are these military wives here to see you off?"
In fact, she had already noticed that the military wives all dressed up.
Do I need to dress up when I come to send someone off?
Tian Yuzhu smiled and looked directly at Qin Xu: "Mayor Qin, these sisters-in-law are going to the county town. We will take the bus ourselves. We won't bother you."
Qin Xu shook his head: "It's not a big deal. The military and the people are like one family. Besides, we're also going to the county town by bus. But today the town has chartered a bus, so it doesn't matter how many people take it. Come on, sisters-in-law, get on the bus!"
Wang Xiu Di and the others thanked them repeatedly and got on the car one after another.
But everyone was not stupid and they all felt Song Fang's hostility.
After getting on the bus, the four of them sat in the last row, and Liu Xiaohui started whispering.
"Huh, that's nothing special."
Wang Xiudi quickly patted her on the back of her hand: "Pay attention to your appearance."
Yes, they are military wives, so they have to act like military wives.
Even if you are dissatisfied with others, there is no need to talk about them to their face. After all, they are the ones who want to ride in their car.
The three minority girls also got on the bus.
A woman who has never left the mountains has never ridden a bus.
After getting on the bus, I was at a loss and didn't know where to sit.
Song Fang pointed there and said, "Sit anywhere you want."
So the three girls squeezed tightly into a row of two-person seats.
Qin Xu saw this and hurried forward to gently persuade him: "Don't be afraid, it's too crowded for you to sit like this. You can sit in two rows. Come sit here."
But the third girl didn't dare to move at all, nor did she respond to him.
Xiaoyun whispered, "Mayor, they don't understand Chinese."
“…”
Now Qin Xu finally understood why Xiaoyun failed to communicate when she went to the village.
After waiting for a while, a few more ethnic men came up.
Rong Fang, with the same cautious look, shouted at them to sit down.
Tian Yuzhu felt very uncomfortable when she saw this.
It would be nice if she knew the national language, but unfortunately she had no chance to learn it.
It was also at this time that she saw an ethnic man, who looked to be around twenty years old.
He was wearing ethnic clothing, with a black cloth belt around his waist and some ethnic ornaments hanging on the sides of the belt.
One of them was actually a piece of ivory about ten centimeters long.
They actually hunt elephants?
Yes, the actual tip of the ivory.
Tian Yuzhu couldn't help herself. She stood up and called out, "Chief Qin, please come over here."
Qin Xu had nothing else to do, so he just watched everyone get on the bus. He then walked to the last row of people, Tian Yuzhu and the others, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look at the ornament on his waist. It's an ivory."
Wang Xiu Di, Zhao Cui, Liu Xiao Hui and the other three were a little surprised after hearing this.
However, people's environmental awareness is not so strong in this era, and they don't know about protecting wild animals.
They were surprised because they had often heard people say there were elephants in these mountains, but had never seen one.
It’s quite a surprise to see large ivory at this moment.
Qin Xu's ideas are different from those of the military wives. He is an intellectual and already has an idea of how precious wild animals are.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction Tian Yuzhu pointed, and sure enough, he saw it.
I just don't know whether it's true or not.
"How do you know it's ivory?" He was just curious about Tian Yuzhu's knowledge.
Tian Yuzhu said, "There's a cowshed at my mother's house. There's a teacher there who's the one described in the book."
I can only make up this story. The cowshed is real, but the teacher is fake.
Qin Xu and others naturally did not suspect anything, as this is the current social phenomenon.
He simply sighed, "It's a good eye, but we can't do anything about it. Not only ethnic minorities, but even the majority of people across the country don't know about protecting wildlife."
Zhao Cuicui was very honest and was surprised: "Elephants that big still need protection. No one dares to approach them, right?"
Qin Xu smiled bitterly and said, "If no one dared to approach it, its fangs would not be hung on people's waists."
The military wives fell silent.
But Tian Yuzhu could see from Zhao Cui's expression that she seemed to be wondering whether elephant meat tasted good.
Then they soon started discussing how big the elephant was.
Tian Yuzhu looked at Qin Xu with a heavy heart: "Is there really no one in charge?"
After she spoke, the military wives stopped talking.
Qin Xu could only sigh and shake his head: "The country can't do it at the moment."
If the common people don't work hard, they will go hungry. They have no idea where to eat their next meal, which is really difficult to take care of.
Tian Yuzhu nodded slightly.
After this little episode, she hoped even more to find an opportunity to go into the mountains.
Especially the Luwangpo, she was looking forward to seeing her favorite elephant there.
…
We drove in silence all the way. After the bus arrived at the county town, it drove directly to the gate of the Workers' Cultural Palace.
There is a basketball court in front of the Workers' Cultural Palace. Although it is dilapidated, such public facilities are much better than those in the town.
Tian Yuzhu also observed the surroundings while entering the city. The county town was not big, but the streets were quite prosperous and there was a good flow of people.
Walking along the street, you can see the house numbers of various units, which are very complete.
After the car stopped, Rongfang said she would take her to change into ethnic costumes and then take photos on the stage of the Cultural Palace.
At this point, Wang Xiu Di felt relieved.
Anyway, she trusted Tian Yuzhu and Qin Xu, but she was worried about those women's mouths.
Following her into the city, my purpose had been achieved, so I asked, "Mayor Qin, what time do you guys finish? If it's convenient, we can take the bus back with you."
"It's convenient, it's okay. There are only a few people coming and going. But I'm not sure what time it will end. If you sisters-in-law want to go shopping, it's fine. If we finish early, we will wait for you, but it will probably take at least two or three hours."
Qin Xu was quite thoughtful.
Wang Xiudi said quickly, "Okay. Yuzhu, let's go shopping for a while and come back to accompany you."
After the three military wives left, Song Fang took Tian Yuzhu and the three ethnic girls to the backstage lounge of the Cultural Palace to change clothes.
The ethnic costumes worn by these ethnic girls were already old, so the county borrowed semi-new ones from the art troupe for them to change into.
In Tian Yuzhu's opinion, some details of the costumes borrowed from the art troupe cannot stand up to scrutiny compared with the real ones.
She immediately responded to Rong Fang: "Captain Rong, I think what the girls are wearing is the real national costume. These are performance costumes, and some parts are different."
Rong Fang immediately glared at her in dissatisfaction: "It looks good enough, who would pay attention to those details?"
