The environment of the suite is very good, even better than the pictures I saw online. The door of the suite faces the balcony of the room. The balcony is open-air and even has no windows. The wind from the mountains just pours in through this vent.
The wind now has a damp and cool feeling, and there is also a smell of soil from the mountains, which permeates the entire living room. Even standing in the living room feels like standing in a high mountain covered with dense jungle.
Tang Miao's face was covered with wind, and the mountain breeze blew on his face. Tang Miao walked towards the wind and went to the balcony where the wind vent was. The balcony was not small and was surrounded by wooden railings. Tang Miao walked to the railing and took a look at the scenery outside the balcony.
From where she stood, she could look down and overlook the entire ethnic minority village. Although the village was built by herself and on the mountain, it was stacked layer by layer, with some regularity in the irregularity. Looking down, it looked like a woodcut. In the middle of the woodcut, there was a river with clear water flowing under the arch bridge. From such a distance, you could almost hear the sound of the flowing water.
Looking across the village, you can see the foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain is flat and connected to a large river. There are also towering mountains on both sides of the river, but they are much steeper than this mountain.
The weather was gloomy, the mountains were covered with dense jungle, hidden in the hazy mist, and the long river was distant, like a scene from ancient times.
After looking at the scenery in front of them, they turned around on the balcony and looked behind them. They saw the mountain where the village was located. Because they were already halfway up the mountain, their vision was clearer than when they were at the bottom of the mountain. The fog that they could only see at the bottom of the mountain became clearer as they got closer.
The mountain peaks appeared clearly before our eyes, as did the dense vegetation on them. Various vegetation, including trees and bamboo forests, overlapped together, appearing airtight, but not cramped. Instead, it was refreshing and even the air was fresh and clear.
Tang Miao stood on the balcony, looked up at the mountain, and breathed softly.
After he finished exhaling, Tang Miao withdrew his gaze, smiled, and went back to the living room to pack his luggage.
Tang Miao and He Xiao lived in a two-bedroom suite. The structure of the house was like a small two-bedroom apartment, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom.
The two set out in the morning. Although it was a self-driving tour, they were out for fun after all, so they still had to rest when they arrived at their accommodation. After arriving at the suite, they each took their luggage and packed it, and then took turns to take a shower in the bathroom.
After taking a shower, they went back to their rooms to rest for a while. At around 2pm, Tang Miao woke up from his nap and opened the door to the living room.
When she went to the living room, she found that He Xiao had already woken up and was standing on the balcony looking at something. Tang Miao came out, and He Xiao looked back. The distant mountains formed a heavy background behind him. He Xiao's figure seemed to be carved between these distant mountains and rivers, but there was no sense of disobedience at all.
Tang Miao took a look and her eyes moved. She stopped and poured herself a glass of water, then asked He Xiao a question.
Tang Miao poured a glass of water, drank it himself, and walked to the balcony railing.
The sky was still cloudy. But the cloudy days on the mountain were different from those at the foot of the mountain. When it was cloudy at the foot of the mountain, the clouds were thick and dark, as if compressing the entire space, which was very uncomfortable. On the cloudy days on the mountain, people were also in the clouds. There were no accumulated clouds, but only mist formed by water vapor, which made everything clear and comfortable.
Tang Miao and He Xiao stood in front of the handrail, leaning down to look down. The weather was not very hot and it was cloudy. At around 2 o'clock, some people started to enter the village.
Although it is the off-season, there are still some tourists. Tourists gather in twos and threes, chatting, taking pictures, and laughing.
Tang Miao looked down for a while, and He Xiao asked, "Are you hungry?"
The two of them had breakfast when they set out in the morning, but they ate early and it was already past lunch time, so they should be hungry. After he said this, Tang Miao tilted his head to look at him and responded with a smile.
"Just take a look around."
Although He Xiao is from Huaicheng, this is his first time here and he is not familiar with this place. The two of them rested for a while and were a little hungry. Now they went out and took a walk outside after dinner.
He Xiao finished speaking without any purpose. Tang Miao looked at him, smiled, nodded and said "OK". After that, Tang Miao looked up at the sky and said, "I don't know if it will rain."
"I have an umbrella." said He Xiao.
"Um."
The two chatted briefly like this for a while, then left the B&B holding hands.
-
The feeling outside the B&B and on the balcony is similar.
But after all, there are rooms behind the balcony. When you really get to the village, it’s like entering the mountain without any cover. The cool air is more transparent and more comfortable.
After Tang Miao and He Xiao left the B&B, they held hands and walked around the village casually.
This village is well preserved, and it really has the atmosphere of a village under a gloomy filter. Walking in the village, in addition to tourists in groups of three or two, there are also villagers. The residents speak the local ethnic language, which makes the atmosphere of the village even more intense.
There were even tourists passing by on the road who, when they heard the villagers chatting, would pull them to take pictures, etc. The villagers were very cooperative and friendly to them.
The roads in the village were not the kind of cement or asphalt roads that had been built, but ordinary stone slabs and dirt roads. The stone slabs were covered with moss due to the constant dampness, and the dirt was not dusty at all, but solid and with some moisture when stepped on, not too hard nor too soft.
Tang Miao and He Xiao came out to eat, but after they came out they were not in a hurry to find a place to eat. Instead, they just went wherever they wanted. After they arrived at the dining area, they went in.
Although the government has not deliberately developed this village, since there are tourism projects here, the tourism industry will naturally emerge.
There are homestays and restaurants in the village, as well as some places selling local ethnic products. However, compared with other tourist areas, there are fewer shops here, and they are all opened by local villagers.
The shop is not big, and the business is basically done in one's own house. Although it is not big, it is kept clean and tidy. Compared to going to a store, it feels more like going to a fellow villager's home.
The restaurant that Tang Miao and He Xiao found was also opened by their family. It was on the first floor of the attic, with a large lobby and many tables. At this time, there were not many people eating.
The dishes in the restaurant are very casual, there is no menu, and they serve whatever is available. After Tang Miao and He Xiao entered, the proprietress who was knitting something at an empty square table came to greet them.
After asking about their taste, the proprietress went to the kitchen to make some food and served it to the two people. After thanking them, the two people ate their late lunch at the dining table.
Although this is a minority ethnic group, it is also a minority ethnic group in Huaicheng, and the taste of the food is similar to that of Huaicheng. Especially this meal, which was made by the proprietress herself, is very homely and tastes very good.
The two of them sat in the lobby, eating lunch leisurely. When they were bored, they would chat with the proprietress. Those who could open a restaurant and do business were good at talking. The proprietress was also a talkative person. She would tell them whatever they asked, even without them asking.
When the proprietress heard that Tang Miao was a piano teacher, she said something with a smile.
"It's good for girls to learn piano. They will become beautiful after learning piano."
"But for a remote village like ours, having a school is a big deal. We can learn musical instruments, let alone piano."
The proprietress said this casually, and Tang Miao also laughed.
I had a very pleasant chat with the proprietress. After the meal, we settled the bill. The vegetables were all grown by ourselves, the oil was pressed by ourselves, and the price of the food was very reasonable.
After paying the money, Tang Miao looked at the proprietress again, then left with He Xiao.
-
After lunch, the journey, which was already a bit lazy, seemed to become even lazier with the end of lunch.
When the two of them came out, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. There was no sun today, but as time went by, the sky seemed to get darker. Although it was dark, there was no sign of rain.
Tang Miao and He Xiao strolled around the village for a while. Not long after, at five o'clock, the village's ethnic minority performance began, and the two went to the performance venue.
The ethnic minorities here can gather together and become one nation, which naturally means they have some cultural heritage. And their performances are a manifestation of their culture.
The performers are all villagers from the village, and the performances are rehearsed. The performance is like a short play, which is a myth and legend about the origin of this ethnic group.
The scale of the performance is not small, with dozens of performers. Some ethnic songs and dances are interspersed in the middle of the performance, which is quite interesting.
In particular, their clothing is very uniform, and they all wear the costumes of their own ethnic group. Compared with other ethnic minorities, the costumes of this ethnic group look simpler and lighter, but they are particularly beautiful.
Their performance takes place in an open space in the village. Outside the open space are some irregular, primitive stone platforms for tourists to watch the performance.
"What are you laughing at?"
In the villages of ethnic minorities, ethnic minority clothing is also an industry, and tourists who come here to play can buy them in the shops. This seems to apply to all ethnic minority villages, especially the clothing of this ethnic minority is really beautiful.
He Xiao said this again, and Tang Miao's heart was aroused. She looked at He Xiao with a smile and said, "Then let's try it?"
The costumes of the ethnic minorities here are very beautiful, and it's no wonder that Tang Miao has been looking at them. The ethnic costumes here are a fitted short shirt on top and a long skirt that wraps around the body. Generally, the two pieces of clothing are matched in color and made of linen, which is very comfortable to wear. At the same time, some ethnic totem patterns of the ethnic group will be embroidered on the clothes, and the embroidery is also exclusive to the ethnic group, so it will be particularly special when worn.
But this was just right. There was no need to crowd, and no need to worry about not being able to see the show. The view ahead was wide, so Tang Miao and He Xiao watched the show from the beginning.
"Want to give it a try?"
While they were talking, He Xiao also came over. Tang Miao glanced at him, and He Xiao's eyes wandered over her, and finally met her gaze and said.
Tang Miao did like it a little.
"What?"
This outfit is especially suitable for Tang Miao.
But at first she just thought it was beautiful and looked at it a few more times when she saw it, but He Xiao directly asked her if she wanted to try it.
"Okay." Tang Miao smiled and said nothing.
The clerk selling clothes outside asked if it was suitable. Tang Miao agreed and then walked out.
After hearing Tang Miao's words, He Xiao also smiled and said, "That's all."
After trying on the clothes, Tang Miao never took them off.
It is neither heavy nor exaggerated, but neat and generous, with a simple yet textured cut.
After the performance, the performers bowed. After the curtain call, the audience applauded and left. The performers bowed and left the stage to go backstage. The audience was still not satisfied and left one by one while talking about the performance.
"Is this shirt really this long? Isn't it a little small?"
After she finished speaking, Tang Miao looked up at her in surprise. Then, she came to her senses, smiled, and lowered her head to look away.
After Tang Miao and He Xiao arrived, Tang Miao picked out a complete set of plain red clothes in the store.
Tang Miao raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror, and was slightly stunned. While she was stunned, the clerk smiled and whispered something in her ear.
After hearing what He Xiao said, Tang Miao smiled and walked over to hold his hand, and they left the store together.
He Xiao's gaze moved along Tang Miao's ear and cheek, and fell on her neck. Finally, he retracted his gaze and said.
"Clothes." He Xiao said.
Tang Miao's skin was very white, the smooth white of milk, so this red color suited her very well. The red cotton and linen short shirt and long skirt made her skin look as white as fat, and also made her hair look dark and her lips look rosy.
If you just want to see what happens at first, and someone persuades you to give it a try, then you will definitely want to give it a try.
He Xiao walked beside her, she suddenly laughed, He Xiao glanced at her. After looking over, He Xiao said.
"It looks better."
Whether it is suitable or not, you will only know it after trying it.
After she changed her clothes, the clerk helped her put her hair up for free and pinned a wooden hairpin. After Tang Miao's thick black hair was put up, her slender and fair neck was exposed. The neck connected to the back and was hidden in the plain red collar, which had a different charm.
After being evaluated by He Xiao, Tang Miao laughed and said, "Are there no other adjectives?"
He Xiao beside her suddenly spoke. Tang Miao was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She turned to look at He Xiao. It was already getting dark, but her eyes were still bright. She looked at He Xiao and asked with a smile.
"When you went to pay the bill, she tied my hair. After she tied my hair, she took a mirror and showed it to me."
The way of truth is simple.
Tang Miao sat there and looked at him, and asked, "How is it?"
"It looks good."
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao was still looking at her. Seeing him looking at her, Tang Miao repeated what the clerk had said to her.
"Nothing, I just remembered what the clerk told me."
And the idea does not have to be put into practice. After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao glanced at the girl wearing the same dress who was walking by and said, "I don't know if it's suitable."
While I was trying on clothes, it was already dark in the village. The lights wrapped around the rocks on the roadside were turned on one after another, illuminating the village fairly brightly.
It’s really beautiful.
Tang Miao and He Xiao held hands and walked in the starry sky. She looked down at the road, and suddenly smiled softly as she walked.
After Tang Miao picked this suit, she went to the fitting room to change into it. After changing into it, Tang Miao did not leave for a while, but raised her hand to stretch the hem of her top.
-
"You can become a bride right away."
Later, when they arrived at the restaurant, the restaurant owner was also wearing ethnic costumes. Tang Miao also observed her several times while eating. Now, during the performance, her eyes were always on the performers. After the performance, she was attracted by several girls wearing ethnic costumes.
After the audience in the back row left, Tang Miao and He Xiao also stood up from the stands. The two followed the people in front of them. Tang Miao looked at the audience in front who were chatting and talking. It was not known whether he was listening to what they were saying or for other reasons, but Tang Miao was a little absent-minded.
The stone platforms were stacked up in layers, with seven or eight rows. But because it was the off-season, there were not many people watching the performance, and they could only sit in three or four rows.
No matter how fancy the words are, the final meaning remains the same.
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao, who was smiling with her head down, looked up at him. Looking at He Xiao, Tang Miao's smile did not fade. She looked at He Xiao and said.
Tang Miao didn’t know what the village looked like at night from a distance, but now, as they walked on the village road, walking in the turned-on lights, it was like walking in a flickering starry sky.
The audience Tang Miao was looking at were girls, all of whom were wearing ethnic costumes of this minority. In fact, Tang Miao's interest in ethnic costumes had already begun when she and he went to check in at the ethnic hotel and saw the murals on the walls of the homestay about the style of this ethnic group.
-
After the clerk finished tidying up her clothes, Tang Miao lowered her head to adjust her cuffs. While she was tidying up, the clerk brought a mirror over and looked at Tang Miao.
"It's not long. It's meant to be exposed a little bit," said the clerk.
"She said I look beautiful in this dress," said Tang Miao.
"Buy it and try it." He Xiao said.
"It's suitable." The clerk praised Tang Miao with bright eyes after he came out.
Praise with shining eyes cannot deceive people, it means she is really pretty. Tang Miao smiled after hearing her praise, but still asked a question.
He Xiao held her hand and led her up the stairs step by step to prevent Tang Miao from tripping. When they left the auditorium and the audience in front of them dispersed, Tang Miao's eyes followed them as they left, He Xiao asked a question.
This plain red is not bright, which is particularly suitable for cotton and linen materials. It is somewhat dark stone red. The short shirt above and the hem of the skirt below are embroidered with simple and continuous patterns, which looks solemn and decent.
After Tang Miao asked, He Xiao said this and took her hand and went to the front.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao smiled.
-
While the clerk was putting a hairpin on her hair, He Xiao went to the front desk to pay the bill. After paying the bill, he came to find Tang Miao. Seeing Tang Miao with her hair tied up, He Xiao's calm eyes moved slightly.
"Let's go."
The two went to a shop selling ethnic clothing.
