Although the time spent in the mouth the village actually only a short half-day, even though some of these memories are drunk so messy and incomplete, but the disorder and the incomplete fragments had been deeply imprinted on the mind, it is difficult to forget.
February 4
Late last night, fell asleep, but woke up 6:00 am. Lying in bed, chatted a while with the whinny days, 7 o'clock get up in the neighborhood looking for Tashi sunrise shoot location, did not find any good, had to climb up next to a soil bag took two trouble.
Into the courtyard to eat breakfast to his room and pick up a bit, then returned to the yard to find Tashi, pay room and board charges, and they asked to mouth line. Tashi said that there were people on foot, let us wait to go with them, we feel that time is getting late, then pack the road.
Out of the courtyard and saw coyotes (Tashi family dog) squatted there, I touched its head, saying, coyotes, followed by Let's go! Xiaoxiao on and take significant steps walked. Coyote did not want to actually really come from behind to recover, and went ahead of us brought up on road coming! Away for a while, I heard the following homes Tashi in front of his house screaming to coyotes directed at our back, I shouted: "It's a moment they will go back!" Tashi has stomped shout "call back! It he will not come back "! Then run up to our direction. Although it is not steep, but also uphill, Tashi went to the time around us're tired. Coyote has long been ahead of us two bends, Tashi After we reiterated the one side, "it will not come back!" Will continue to move to the chase. Xiaoxiao and I do not follow in footsteps stopped, heard him shout at the bend in front of several more. Coyote came back at Tashi's sound has always been urging road ran. This Tashi explained to us, coyotes often followed by Mix gone, and once, followed by two female donkey is gone, Tashi catch up with the small Luohe only then it back. I says to him, it would like to follow the crush to go, right! Tashi looked at us a nod, the three laughed. I said, chasing the dog Tashi is very cute, we were with him in the mountain together a video. Do not have come off had to bid farewell once again, I said, then we'm off! Tashi was formally shook hands with the whinny, and then told me to go, and we shake hands. I turned to the pending reaching, Tashi has open arms, Well, it would come to embrace a Western ceremony, good!
9:10 We are starting from the Tashi home, and walked behind the small Luohe time to catch up a Mix, tell comprises bar. Three go hand in hand, at 11:35 arrived at the territory of the mouth of Sichuan Village (the official name for the lake town of the Naxi village). This section can be quite good walk up the hill from the inside out after Georgia Island, walk along the road has been basically a little uphill. Yesterday, Luohe and at the inside into the grid on the island to see the lake feeling that it was not at all unlike the plateau lake, walk to the mouth in the process felt it was the United States, so take this section of track is quite worth it.
Yet village, some people come pull our boat, eating a total of each individual from the firm say that we are come to his friend "Mao Rouzaud" in. Asked a lot of people, but said the village did not this person, perhaps we use the Chinese pronunciation of the name to read the Naxi, people listen to is not real? Three are hesitant, the one girl suddenly to have realized that to know for whom we are looking for, and volunteered to take us to - the original hair Rouzaud is her uncle!
Girl named Yang Ci children (pleasant sounding name!), Along the way met people in the village on the enthusiasm that we were her uncle's friend, from Beijing's no joke. Feeling soon went Cuntou, and only to the hair Rouzaud family. But over a much longer is not handsome, cute, three-year-old look like out of young people welcome - he is the hair Rouzaud. Came in on the kang, Mao's older brother (in fact, asked the age, I discovered later, Mao little brother two years old I really was the brother told him to Mao, but because the mouth is called cis-and replaced, however, the Chi Diankui the Chi Diankui it, He He) put on refreshments, give us beat butter tea, we chatted about some of the local customs Bianhe Bian. This time we also have a chance to ask is how to know who were from the Naxi brothers, the original, he just because of the way to the lake to help an older sister took a few things! Sister who had heard he was going to mouth playing, he will be looking for her brother - that is, Mao Rouzaud said in his house, room and board, after which the phone came specifically to play a good host asked his younger brother. It's that simple, so simple and warm.
Laughing rooms that afternoon, just someone in the family village, held a "pants" from others, shall be at home at least 13 year-old boy held in adult ceremony. Mao's older brother let us choose to eat lunch at his house, or to take part in trousers, we naturally choose the latter.
Followed Mao's older brother a door into that family has received a warm reception was arranged for the elderly in the most prestigious places to sit down next to. All the people smile, being, melon seeds, peanuts, Naxi dessert side over, Suni Ma, buttered tea are handed over. Chatted for a while, the owner came please take their seats and go out a look, in the courtyard facing the two tables, table food looks delicious (in fact, indeed delicious). Pending under the chopsticks, the owner holding a bottle of wine came, and poured one by one ... ... I never Baijiu, but the scene that is indeed a sense of Shengqingnanque, bite the bullet and did a cup (according to the local rule is must be dry), quickly clip a few mouthfuls of food into the mouth. Want to drink water, but only Suni Ma, and that second glass of white wine poured over again, this time, I only drank one to deal with - it could not continue to drink, and a few minutes of work, the first has already begun a faint . Seeing a very powerful way they did halt at a cup, the owner insisted that I finished the second cup, I sip, and think that a glass of wine how to do that. Xiaoxiao grabbed my glasses, said: "I drink for you!", I was surprised at her capacity for liquor and the sudden emergence of the pride, sitting in the middle of a total of Wolia from a trip she asked incredulously No, Ringing in the answer to So far I have touched - she had a heart attack, can not drink the. Comprise a total of said no to him, whinny but firmly drank my cup. (Disclosure of a secret, and later Xiao Xiao told me that after two glasses are included in your mouth and wait for an opportunity that she secretly spit in the beer cup, and He He.)
A total of by me and whinny to two glasses of tea (the dinner table only to the locals are not the wine to the tea), but not tea, I have extracted the wine, not only dizziness, if I stand up and will certainly be playing Akira's a. I am drunk, not only drunk in the wine, but also the enthusiasm of drunk at the Naxi Ren, the drunk in this intense atmosphere. I patted the shoulder by a total of "I'm drunk, could not walk, you may as intended, and we walk with you to Zhongdian!"
Also eating a few mouthfuls of food, that taste really good, is preparing to throw off cheek eat, Mao Big Brother has pulled us that the rose - and the yard was open only on two tables, there are a lot of people do not take their seats and we have to give them to the right place. The owner greeted us warmly and then to the house to drink tea, and we said no - and whinny and comprises also some drunk. Back to the Big Brother house hair sat down, suddenly remembered that he mentioned today, there is a young man engaged to a question under the said ceremony was already over, the future bride has gone home. Unfortunately, some of one's tongue, after Mao's older brother on any connection with a bit of local marriage customs issues. Mao's older brother, said people here, if engaged, they will get married, are not allowed to destroy marriage.
Chatted for a while, Brother Mao's wife, we have entered a family. And boys trousers. Today really come forward to the. Came in a sit down, but also seeds, snacks, a lot of apples, and then as usual, is full of cups Suni Ma! Our friends in advance in accordance with Mao's older brother told the rules, put the money in 30 small square table, as Gongshen ceremony of money, that is, with the bar elements. Soon, the two heads is similar, wearing a neat costumes boy came forward, "help when" kneeling in front of us knock on their heads! Although Mao's eldest brother advance with the kids we have said, and bowed and bowed when we say something auspicious on the line, and also taught us a blessing Naxi language (damn, I do not remember), we still feel at a loss of three No one said a word derived, we then looked at two children Leng Leng, giggle a few times. And other children got up to leave, we looked at each other to exclaim: "Oh, shame!"
How many pieces to eat melon seeds, food will come up. The room light is dark, old people and people who have eaten banquet chatted days sitting around the hearth, Mao Big Brother has to go sit over there they engaged in small talk, look no attention to our people these are placed in a corner of the stranger. Three Xiangshiyixiao, grabbed chopsticks ready to feast to make up for losses in the last one:).
Not the first cooking chopsticks into her mouth, this eldest son holding a bottle of white wine transformed. I think my eyes were definitely can use a "panic" to describe, the three said in unison: "We really can not drink a! ... ...", In order to host family is not to be too feel disappointed, we all drank a half - Cup Suni Ma. Boy's mother rushed out of quickly carrying his large glass bottles come in full bloom Su Nima, to help us filled, this time it refused to take a courtesy, and just a direct hand up to cup cover their total from the cheek to I whinny dealcoholic to two glasses of hot tea.
Eating for a while, whinny that dizziness, out of breath of fresh air had no idea that never came back first. Were worried that she was drunk, by looking for a place to spit, let me out to see. When I go out is staggering pace, thought, it went straight toward the lake side.
The afternoon sun very mild. Lugu Lake on the wave of shiny, the distance is the golden one, near little bit like the stars, seven, eight boats or far or near places scattered on the lake, on the other side of mountains hazy, cloud faint. Good distant in mood. This is the legend of the lake that bar:).
Xiaoxiao Sure enough, here, a person sitting quietly in a boat. She said that ship owners agree to 8 yuan / person draw us to look at Bird Island. How can we not pay a visit to Lugu Lake by boat and admire the lake scenery! Ringing in the original and I plan is a meal at noon in the mouth after a boat to Luohe, in Luohe one night, returning to the Tigers after the jump Lijiang. Now, because of drunk mobility (哈哈), while the total by foot from mouth to Zhongdian, the plan is also very attractive to me before they decided to change the itinerary, and, two, three o'clock has no boatman willing to bring the boat to Luohe, since about four o'clock on the lake will have a great wind, small Zhucao Chuan is very dangerous. Perhaps another point is the hospitality of Naxi Ren seriously infected me!
I turn back home boys sent for a total of from one into the yard to see him just out from the house, then dragged him away. Only later did I think of it, no one with the owner of three of us left the greeting! Is not too outrageous, Hehe. With the ship owner, an older sister to climb to about 40 good price, 10 yuan / person to Bird Island and Snake Island two islands. Semi-lying Zhu Caochuan on (remember Mao's older brother asked why the call Zhucao Chuan, he said that no special reason is because this boat is shaped like manger, I quipped that the manger is so ah, why not call manger ship, thus it will have a "Feng manger boat" word Hehe), feel this in the water, this wind, this lake is really nice, but due to seasonal reasons, the Bird Island on the little birds, shima Meisha is also a snake, and we also do not abandon boat landing, but a circle around the island will be returned to the mouth the village.
Mao's older brother is with us. He returned to his house to sit for a while, his sister and her friend Mao Yang Na Na Mu Satoshi come. Very beautiful, but whinny, and are more likely to comprise a total of Namu, and I even like the Na-chung, her beauty is from the inside out. Both she and sub-children of the tea houses in Beijing, working together, just before Chinese New Year back to mouth, so it is no stranger to Beijing, but also very much liked me, and Ringing in the mouth of these two one authentic Mandarin sister. Asked if they will not fall back to Beijing after the Spring Festival, they say no return, because Beijing's cold winter, and they can not stand. But has seen the bustling city like they are no longer the quiet little village, and after the holiday they will go to Chengdu's tea houses to work. Sat for a moment, I do not know who proposes to take a walk, it was agreed to respond to. Mao's older brother at home to renovate the house, would not accompany us, from Namu and the Na Cong with us now.
A few people along the village paths Yueshuoxiaoxiao to walk in front of the slope. Xiaoxiao a sudden stomach not feeling well. The village is naturally no toilets, Na Cong looked for a dark alley, so I went inside to the benefit whinny, she and Namu in the alley "are on duty." I walked half of the stop, which is expected to halt at the time needed to be longer, they go farther, go to the back of a small mound. I just squatted down a big black pig they strolled to Gongzhe way transformed. Small alley is very narrow, two people have difficulties in walking side by side, it would necessarily have to be adopted by the PP in the past I Gongzhao! I directed at its side waved his mouth, do not worry ah, wait a minute and then past, present, do not come ah! A moment let your past ... ... a ghost know that it is how people think, perhaps is also pondering the channel is too narrow, and leave it at my side staring at the rear of my PP. The first time in his life to enjoy such treatment, for fear that it reinforced what the root is still not rushing, we remind the mound behind the halt at the side of action quickly, lest I get up big black pig will look for her, one side stood up to bring pants. Whinny nervously cried, you do not let it come! This pig is also annoying, I have to give way it has, however, and followed me again out of the alley! Na Cong, Namu heard my tell angry laugh, a total of from the show and me and pigs were looked at some up and down, saying that it is only a very colored black pig boar - not necessarily good things behind I hastened to keep up with one: like you! 哈哈.
Yo Dada a pedestrian on the slope. Slope is not high but the road was so slippery, there is a hill by the church, because it is Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year Lama went home and invited the village an old janitor. Entered the main hall (actually very small), the elderly took three incense gave away in front of me, saying that, thanks to an al bar! Although I have never entered the temple burning incense, but at this time courtesy but to the next. Threshold of a total of just moving by and hurriedly turned Xiaoxiao circumstances in mind went out again - they are also not the Buddhist. They stare back, I had one, went before candle lit incense. Wanted to plug into the bowed and put the incense censer, the do not want them very seriously, starting from the side through the years with Tibetan chanting. As an expression of respect for other people's pious, I solemnly bowed three times to the face of the Buddha and then plug into incense censer three years, then a clockwise circle around the statue, thanked the elderly out of the hall. A total of Xiaoxiao by and looked at me out laughing. Too! Hehe.
Is already more than 17:00, we decided to wait in the slope Lugu sunset, because this slope is in fact the lake shore. Five individuals in the side to sit down, quietly watching the setting sun illuminated the lake and the lake ducks splashing in the water. Upwind lake great clouds across the beautiful, people will sit back and very little turbulent feelings.
So quietly enjoyed a long and Ringing in the proposed Jeanne Chung and Namu sing us a few pieces of Mosuo folk songs. Mosuo girls are very generous guy, and has not said no, they sang a few pieces of simultaneous local love songs. Nice voice! Beautiful mountains, beautiful water, beautiful clouds, beautiful trees, beautiful people, beautiful songs, beautiful sun, really want to let this moment stop this. Na Cong, Namu requires that we also sang a few numbers, but we dare not N.! We chose a relatively simple, Mosuo most often young men and women singing in antiphonal style singing a folk songs, and asked her to teach us both a 1. As used in the local dialect, when I clearly have learned more than half, and now only vaguely remember that a little melody, lyrics apart from "small Elder brother" and "small-Mei" in the beginning and a "The Hills to meet water-resisting , "but one also can not remember come, really sorry.
Thus looked at clouds, watching the water, singing songs, the sun gone down bit by bit. Clouds in the sky have been infected with a mixture of golden yellow powder, more and more gentle waves on the lake ... ... would have liked to have been completely fall hill watching the sun go, but I promised a house in the pants that the person named Yang Song night 7:00 with my phone to see if already 6:30, and had to bid farewell with the setting sun. Bad hair back in 2 minutes 19:00 Big Brother house, Yang Song have been waiting in there. That afternoon, home from the pants came out, I then met a friend text messages just in time for him, and he borrowed my phone calls to working in Guangzhou, the son of an appointment at 19 o'clock his son to play my phone looking for him, because The Spring Festival is not his son back. Yang Song Once on shore, such as phone, they chatted in a while Mao's Big Brother house.
Perhaps because of this short half-day in the mouth too enriched our flies, perhaps because of drunk, how do I not remember that day where we eat dinner, and that the impression had gone.
Another night at a family party, because the girls wear skirts at home that day. Said that evening, in fact, familiar to people of all ages the village had gather around the host family's yard, we self-organized, performance of some programs. We sat on a board, held out a large tray hostess came up - the top is a glass cup Suni Ma, I was really afraid of harm, in addition to shaking his head like a Bo Langgu, like anything else will not said.
Lucky today to catch up with the village girl training a team here on the show. Watch wearing Mosuo dress, singing and dancing 8 girl, I do not know for them should be happy or sad for them. The village to train them is to let them out to the village to make money. Then a little girl to have a show, there is a local love songs, folk songs, as well as pop music. Could see that they are tired after a few songs, and I wanted to rest, that I do not know is the coach or supervisor, middle-aged women were harshly snapped and ordered them to continue performing, so that on several occasions, we felt that these poor little girl really. And then later discovered that the girl had already begun performing tracks have been performed, and the three of us left the party, think of the village's only a hotel to see. Mao's older brother said that as long as enough bedding wanted us to live in his house, it is impossible Zaiqu hotel, but we seem to see Mao's oldest brother's house, and no extra kang, they did not want to trouble him.
Find a hotel, the rooms are in a two-story wooden buildings, the property next to a row of small bungalows, want to come is the reception. Everyone has been calling several more, found that only a Mosuo grandmother in, asked her how much money one, 15 yuan. Total by finally found a Kanjia opportunities. Grandmother seems to have trouble understanding the Chinese language, or at least did not understand Mandarin, a total of enthusiasm from the charge for a long time, and finally made her understand the meaning, or she did not understand what he said, in short, the end she agreed to 10 yuan / person of . We say go back with my friends to say we came to stay there, grandma is very happy to get us out. A discharge gate for a long time I'll choke out the words of mouth: how think that we, as three liar? Others engaged in the old lady certainly did not understand how the matter of 45 dollars to sleepwalk into a 30 yuan. Xiaoxiao immediately expressed the same feeling:).
Back to the evening of that home-Na Cong, and Namu came looking for us, about us go to another family bonfire party. The way she was walking arm in arm in front of both the way and sing, in particular, Namu, voice is really good. The three of us behind them, listening to the crisp, beautiful singing, looked up the stars from heaven ... ... until there is a bonfire of that home, "Guozhuang" is drawing to a close, small group children were girls dancing around the campfire for a few minutes would have to go together, and hosts who looked the courtyard began to invite relatives and friends performing on stage. Stand in the window on the stage of the microphone amplifying the results were quite good, where people rarely Niuniunienie, was called up to sing the name of the one half of the first, truly entertain the pastoral life.
Seeing that the hour is late, we told Namu, Na-chung has been with the hotel that used to live well, do not trouble older brother of Mao. Namu on the anxious one, and said she had arranged Costa Rica, and at home waiting for us of that. The three of us there dumbfounded, hastens to explain that because of Mao's Great Geti bedding too afraid not enough, we wanted to do too much trouble, and live in hotels save trouble and so on. Namu on a word, her family is ready, we live in her house on the line, and hotels do not go. No way, we have had from life, with a good first go to hotels Namu says to inform soon as they return to Mao's brother lived. Three wine vigor have not the past, one foot shallow depth, arm in arm one foot to have gone to hotels. The room is a bit out of the middle-aged women, we are sorry tunnel apologized, she did not say anything, but could see was quite pleased that we continue with our business can come back with her to say the.
Back to the hair Big Brother house, and sure enough bedding has been laid out for the kang 2, relying on the door there is a relatively short and very narrow bed. I want a bed near the door; Xiaoxiao stand the cold, close to the furnace to the kang 1. Because it is very proud of his position to say that the best because I am too far away from the stove will be very cold, Xiaoxiao rely on stove too close, unsafe. Naturally I gave him whinny with a big coax:).
Let the afternoon of trouble that wine, I had a long time before falling asleep. The next day we got up before dawn, and discovered that hair is crowded in the absence of a big brother of the shed where the door sleep ... ...
Mao Sao prepared breakfast for us, Mao Big Brother once again for us to lay the butter tea. We came a hurry, no one remember the cell from the inside to buy some wine or tea along with them had to turn their mad backpack. I found a packet of unopened Nestle Po VC sugar, comprises a bag left brought over from the Zhongdian yak meat, Ringing out a bag of Guan Sheng Yuan's hard tack, get together for big brother to the hair. He has not said no, because in someone's home with room and board to leave gifts are here to custom. We just think this ceremony is really too light, and hates himself not prepared in advance. Of course, how many gifts are unable to Naxi Ren heartfelt enthusiasm for simplicity comparable to ... ...
