    Master and I parked the car at the government office of this town.  In fact, the so-called government does not have much of a deterrent effect in a town like this where the folk customs are strong and not integrated with the world, but it is still more or less in a state of being in harmony with the river. Parking the car in this kind of place is perfect.  Of course, this kind of work is not in vain. I have to spend some money to do some things, which can be regarded as the cost of helping to look after the car. After all, it is too important for Master and me now. Finally, we went to the uninhabited land of the snow mountains.  Still have to rely on it.  After doing all this, it was already nighttime. It was obviously unrealistic to go up the mountain at this time. We originally wanted to stay in this simple government building for one night, but no one else agreed, because except for an old concierge, the rest of the staff did not agree.  All the people were gone.  Later, we learned that the government here is only government officials from the town closest to here occasionally come to manage it. This extremely remote town is basically autonomous. They don¡¯t dare to keep us because the people here are strong and fierce.  If something happens, don't let it happen in this office building.  Master and I are helpless. In fact, in my impression, the Miao people are divided into two extremes. One is like the people in Yueyan Miao Village, who are gentle and kind, and the other is the people of Heiyan Miao Village, whose folk customs  He is indeed tough, xenophobic, and even a little cold-blooded.  But regardless of the type of Miao people, I actually feel that they have a rather "extreme" protection of their own culture. They want to integrate, but more importantly, they must protect the inheritance of culture from being changed by this integration.  Actually, I sometimes feel good about this kind of extreme protection, because my Chinese culture also has a long history. Do I need some extreme protection?  In the end, Master and I didn't go to the village rashly and stayed with the concierge. It was night. We had a bottle of wine, two packs of cigarettes, and several bags of peanuts. We chatted with the concierge without saying a word.  I sat down to the sky and prepared to survive this long night. After all, I couldn't sleep even in this small gate.  "Master is born with the ability to communicate with people very casually, but unlike me, I always keep a distance from people in the beginning, fearing to get emotionally involved.  Therefore, I quickly got involved with the concierge and started chatting all over the place.  The concierge is a Han Chinese. After he drank, the most talked about with the master was that he had worked here for many years. Everyone in the town looked familiar, but he didn't know their names.  As for the reason, it¡¯s because people in this town don¡¯t like to talk to Han people, and he has never been able to integrate into this town.  So exclusive?  I was a little surprised that even though I felt that Black Rock Miao Village was not so exclusive.  "That's helpless. I was born in a rural area, and the government's policies were good. I was also lucky enough to get such a public position. I was not a gatekeeper before, but I retired and couldn't stay idle. I said I have no feelings for this place.  Right? I used to work here from time to time before I became a gatekeeper. I'm sorry, but the people here never accepted us. It felt like we were living alone in isolation. It's funny.  For so many years, people in this town have been buying the same pack of cigarettes for 5 yuan! What if I buy it for 10 yuan? They still want to sell it.¡±  Bei was a little excited, and when he spoke, he actually had a hint of Northeastern flavor.  This made me feel very warm and reminded me of everything that happened in the deep forest that year, including Wu Laogui, who was humorous and timid, but never lost his temper at critical moments, Lao Zhang, who was honest and reliable, and the magical stick.  My son, the snow-capped dense forest and the girl I dreamed of all stayed there.  Thinking of Ruxue, my heart felt an inexplicable tingling. Now this kind of tingling is accompanied by my soul every time. It will make me sluggish for a moment, but I have also learned to hide it. It¡¯s just that the hand holding the peanuts is shaking.  Suddenly, there was no change in expression on his face.  This is a cover-up that even the master can't see. He is still talking to the concierge. 10 yuan is a scam. Isn't it twice as expensive?  This kind of Northeastern dialect made me less defensive about the concierge, no, probably any stranger. A natural smile appeared on my face unconsciously, and I poured a glass of wine for the concierge.  The concierge may have felt that this seemed quite indifferent. The young man who was not easy to talk to suddenly showed kindness to him. He was a little touched and smiled gratefully at me.  Picking up the glass, Chi Liu took another half sip. Sometimes, friendship between people seems so simple, but I often can't do it. I don't know if it's because I was tired of being a child, but I always feel that the person I love deeply  , imagining that they would eventually leave me, leaving me standing alone in an empty place, helplessly shouting "I won't let you go", which made me very defensive.  After all, I still agreed with Master¡¯s words. I can¡¯t afford feelings., can't let go, even to strangers.  Master, who was happily chatting with the concierge, didn't notice my emotions. I thought it would be bad to think about it late at night, so I simply retracted my thoughts and peeled peanuts while sipping wine little by little, listening to the concierge's excitement.  speak.  "Who can say that 10 yuan is not expensive? But this is still a friendly price. When other staff go to buy things, including officials, I will tell you that it is normal to triple the price." The concierge said excitedly  , but also a little proud that he can have a 'friendship price'.  The master calmly drank a glass of wine, then threw a peanut into his mouth and chewed it carefully, and then said: "Why are these people so xenophobic? I don't remember there was such a town before? This"  ah?  Wasn't there a town like this before?  I'm a little confused, why did Master guide me here?  However, I could only pretend to be calm and listen to their conversation.  "Huh? How do you know? There really wasn't this town before. This Gada used to be not even a village, just a few families living here and there. Suddenly, a year has passed." The uncle paused here, as if  Looks a little apprehensive.  The master quickly poured a glass of wine for the uncle and said, "It's okay. Let me tell you the truth. I used to have a connection with this place. Otherwise, how would I know it so well?" As he spoke, the master lowered his tone and whispered.  "I know some people on the mountain, don't you?" "Ah, do you know the people on the mountain?" The uncle's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty. He looked at the master up and down, and then said with some doubts: "Could it be that you are also a  "Miao people?" "No, it's not possible. I'm an authentic Han Chinese. It's just a coincidence that I met the people on the mountain." The master said it very sincerely. In fact, he didn't lie. It was just a way of speaking.  , saying it means saying nothing.  But the concierge was so excited that he slapped the stool where the wine was placed, and the wine bottle almost fell over. I quickly held it up, but he didn't care and whispered: "Hey, I'm really envious of that."  The people on the mountain are not simple. I don¡¯t know why they are not simple, but I am sure that they know magic? For example, ordinary people can¡¯t distinguish between Taoism and witchcraft, and there are some other magic.  It's not wrong to call them all spells.  "Oh? Then I believe it too. There are many wonders in this world. The older a person gets, the more he believes it. To put it harshly, who hasn't encountered a few strange things in his whole life? When he gets older,  , Come to think of it, it¡¯s just so-called ¡®superstitious¡¯.¡± Master hesitated and put the words back. After all, it is taboo in real circles to talk about these things in depth with an ordinary person.  "In short, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the previous things. How long ago was there really no town here? I have to think about it, about ten years ago? Anyway, I have worked here for many years. People in this town  Xenophobia is also a reason, hey." As he spoke, the uncle swallowed the glass of wine in front of him in one breath, then placed the empty glass heavily on the bench and said: "These people appeared overnight.  To be precise, they are people who came down from the mountain! For some reason, they stayed here and repaired their houses. "They came down from the mountain overnight?  I lowered my head and frowned, took a sip of the wine in the cup, and couldn't help but worry about Qiangzi.  But when I think about it, the time is wrong. This town appeared ten years ago, which was earlier than the last time I saw Qiangzi. Qiangzi at least never mentioned these things to me. Is it a secret?  Thinking about it, I relaxed my brows and put down my wine glass.  The master also didn't speak, just bowed his head and drank, while the uncle was still talking: "You said that suddenly so many people came down overnight, and they did it themselves, and in a few months they turned this place into a town.  , Don¡¯t care? It must be taken care of! But in this poor and remote place, we can¡¯t spare so many people, so we can only¡± He was talking about the origin of this so-called town government. If these Miao people really came down from the mountains,  Then they may really not take this so-called temporary regulatory government seriously.  Speaking of which, this is indeed interesting news. It seems that there is a huge secret hidden behind it, but I don¡¯t know why Master is asking about it?  As the old man was talking, his tongue was a little big, and he was talking all over the place. We didn't persuade him to drink anymore, but he said one more thing in a daze and unintentionally: "You guys said  , what is so noteworthy about this town? In the past two months, a lot of people have come, and they look like they are not friendly, which makes the people in the town more and more xenophobic, and we don¡¯t understand why.  ? What's going on? " As the uncle said this, he couldn't help but fell asleep on the chair. Master and I looked at each other, what's going on?people?  Is it impossible? Two months ago, Master and I were still in Zhulin Xiaozhu. It makes no sense!  Thinking of this, Master and I frowned at the same time!
