Raising Gu Notes

(Chapter 2 is here. Thank you Li Xueruoyu for your support.)

Under the huge sixteen-cornered watchtower, there is a huge square with a radius of nearly a kilometer. The square is covered with a layer of marble, which is very clean and tidy.This huge square is also in the shape of a hexagon, and it is surrounded by half-person-high stone railings, making the square look like a huge altar.

It was late in the evening, the sun was slanting towards the west, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, Ba Xiaolan was leaning on the railing, with his back to the setting sun, looking up slightly at the sixteen-corner watchtower in front of him.

Beside her, Xiao Xing sat cross-legged.

Xiao Xing kept touching the head of the white cat Miao Miao in his arms, and kept talking.

It's just that Ba Xiaolan just smiled occasionally, never said much, and kept looking at the hexagonal watchtower in front of her.

Her expression was also a little heavy, with a worried look.

Huo Huo was lazily lying on the railing. Compared to Ba Xiaolan, Huo Huo seemed very quiet and seemed to be enjoying the warm sunshine in the evening.

It has been two days since Xie Lin and the others brought Zhang Lang and the blind man into the watchtower last time.

After Yang Biaoer took Xie Lin and Smelly upstairs, Ye Xia downstairs also let Ba Xiaolan and others leave there, leaving alone to treat the blind man.

In order to avoid disturbing Xie Lin and the others, no one dared to go up to see what was going on. Only Mrs. Xi would send food up regularly every day, but she usually put the food on the stairs, and Xie Lin and the others took it by themselves. , and did not go in to see the specific situation.

Up to now, two full days have passed, and Xie Lin and the others haven't come out yet, so Ba Xiaolan can't help feeling a little worried.

In the past two days, she basically stood here, waiting for Xie Lin and the others to come out safely.She also kept praying in her heart, hoping that Blind and Smelly, as well as Xie Lin and Ye Xia would be safe.

Zhang Lang woke up yesterday afternoon.Originally, Ayun had been taking care of him, but when he woke up, Ayun left in a hurry and hid.After Zhang Lang woke up, he began to look for Ayun everywhere. First, he ran around like crazy in the black city, because he didn't know where Ayun had gone, so he could only search randomly, and kept asking people, but who I didn't know where Ayun was hiding, until later, Xiaoxing couldn't stand it anymore, so she quietly told him about Ayun's whereabouts.

But it turned out that Ayun had left Heicheng and hid in Abai's house outside.

Zhang Lang rushed there immediately.

For the past two days, Xiaoxing has been with Ba Xiaolan all the time, asking Ba Xiaolan about the outside world and Ba Xiaolan's past experiences, and at the same time introducing the situation here to Ba Xiaolan.

Now Ba Xiaolan knows that the people here are neither Tibetans nor Qiangs, but an ethnicity she has never heard of.The local people call themselves the Wazig people, or the Wazig people, which means the descendants or descendants of Nuwa.And the so-called ancient god they believed in was actually Nuwa.

Here, it is completely a society where women are in power. Whether it is a family or an entire tribe, women are in power. It is really like the legendary daughter country.And here, it is indeed similar to the Mosuo people, and the walking marriage system is implemented, but it is different from the Mosuo people. After the men and women or the marriage relationship is determined, although the men and women do not stay together all the time, and the children will be with the woman. Together, but the relationship between the two parties cannot be changed for a lifetime. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, they are not allowed to betray each other, and they are not allowed to associate with other opposite sexes. It can be said that it is stricter than any other ethnic group. He was looked down upon by the whole clan.

The reason why Xiaoxing's mother lost the right to inherit the patriarch or the king is precisely because she left Xiaoxing's father back then, which was considered a very irresponsible behavior by the clan. If she was not the daughter of the old patriarch, she might have He has already been kicked out by the tribe, or he will be severely punished.Of course, for Anong, she wished she could leave here so that she could find the blind man, but unfortunately the old patriarch didn't allow it.

The special customs and culture here would have definitely interested Ba Xiaolan, a quasi-archaeologist, but now, Ba Xiaolan's mind is not here at all. If Xiaoxing didn't take the initiative to introduce her to her, maybe she wouldn't ask. rise.

And Xiao Xing is like a chatterbox, talking and asking non-stop, as if he hasn't talked to anyone for a long time.Her Mandarin was a bit jerky before, but now she is becoming more and more fluent.

And in the sixteen-corner watchtower, people kept coming out, men or women, holding various things in their hands, came in front of Ba Xiaolan and the others, and respectfully asked Xiaoxing for instructions.

Xiaoxing is the new patriarch appointed by the old patriarch before his death, and now he is also responsible for the affairs of the clan.

This time the old patriarch passed away, it is said that the whole clan will mourn for a whole month. During this month, everyone is not allowed to drink, eat meat, or kill.

But tonight, the succession ceremony of the new patriarch will be held. Those who come to ask Xiaoxing are mostly asking Xiaoxing about what he wants to eat and what he wants to wear at night.However, Xiao Xing really didn't want to succeed the patriarch, so he was very impatient, and sent those people away just by saying casually.

Ah Xing and A Luo, however, acted as hands-off shopkeepers, mourning the death of the old patriarch in the [-]-corner watchtower.

The old lady Xi and some other respectable old people maintained the order in the clan and presided over the mourning ceremony.

So Ba Xiaolan and Xiaoxing are the most leisurely ones.

Just as Xiaoxing dismissed another group of people, he looked at Ba Xiaolan strangely, and then moved closer to Ba Xiaolan.

Ba Xiaolan felt strange, finally came to her senses, and turned to look at Xiaoxing.

Xiaoxing grinned, and then whispered mysteriously: "Sister Xiaolan, what is life like in the school outside, isn't it very interesting?"

Ba Xiaolan froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

But before she could answer, Huo Huo suddenly straightened up and looked behind them.

Ba Xiaolan turned her head and saw that Zhang Lang had returned.

It's just that Zhang Lang looked downcast, obviously things between him and A Yun were not going well.

When Zhang Lang approached, Ba Xiaolan asked what was going on.

Zhang Lang shook his head, with a helpless expression, he said that A Yun still avoided seeing him.

Ba Xiaolan couldn't help but asked Zhang Lang again what he wanted to do next. You must know that they will leave here soon, and it is impossible to stay for too long.

It's just that Ba Xiaolan's question made the dejected Zhang Lang become firmer, saying that he decided not to leave here, and whether Ayun ignored him or not, he would stay here and guard Ayun.

Ba Xiaolan couldn't help being a little surprised.

But at this time, Huohuo suddenly climbed down from the railing, looked up at the direction of the sixteen-corner watchtower, his body became brighter, and he hissed, showing a little excitement.

Ba Xiaolan turned her head and found Xie Lin, Ye Xia and Yang Biaoer coming out of the watchtower.

Behind them, the blind man followed, A Luo supported the blind man, and A-ying, Mrs. Xi and others followed behind.

Although the blind man was supported by Ah Luo and walked tremblingly, he was in good spirits and had a smile on his face.

Even his gray hair seemed to have turned a lot darker, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be less.

It looked like it was several years younger.

On Schelling's shoulders squatted Smelly.

The hair on Smelly's whole body turned black and red, and it looked greasy and shiny.

The little guy looked left and right, his face was full of energy.

Ba Xiaolan couldn't help but feel happy too.

But when she took a closer look at Ye Xia, she was stunned.

Ye Xia's hair turned gray, and her body became slightly more stooped, as if she suddenly aged several decades.
