Golden Fishing Village

Razhong looked tall and stout, with a weathered face, but he was actually very clever with his hands. He quickly strung a chain with red silk thread and put it on Doma's neck.

Then, he used the remaining cypress seeds to string a bracelet and put it on Ao Muyang's hand respectfully.

Ao Muyang was wearing a Bai Qinan chain on his hand, and the cypress seed string was a bit complicated, but looking at La Zhong's pious look, he couldn't refuse.

Moreover, the cypress seed bracelet was quite exquisitely made. After looking at it, he nodded and said, "Very good, Razhong. I didn't expect you to have such a hand in needlework."

Doma chuckled and said: "In our village, needlework is a skill that all men are good at."

Ao Muyang was glad that he was reborn in a fisherman's family and not in a Zhalongzang's family. He couldn't stand household chores such as washing and sewing clothes.

After packing up the cypress seeds and putting them into Lang Er's small backpack, he patted his butt and said, "Doma, tell your father, let's go?"

"good."

Razhong understood what he said, then he puffed his robe and stood up happily to call the dog.

Duoma also looked forward to it. He said to Ao Muyang: "My father has very good jungle tracking skills. Just wait and see. As long as we find traces of wild beasts, my father can find them."

Ao Muyang thought for a while and said: "Doma, if I remember correctly, you Zhalu people should believe in Tibetan Buddhism, right? Doesn't Tibetan Buddhism teach people not to kill? Then how come the people in your tribe are so powerful? Hunting skills?”

Doma said: "Yes, we believe in Buddhism, but in the village, men will not have contact with Buddha. It is exclusive for women, so they do not kill, but we men can kill. Besides, this kind of tracking technique is actually "The main purpose is not to track wild animals, but to track the lost cattle, sheep, pigs and horses in our own village."

Later, as he walked, he told Ao Muyang that there were many high mountains and dense forests in the Zhalong area, and the cattle, sheep, pigs and horses that were kept in the village liked to run into the mountains to find tenderer and greener grass.

In deep mountains and old forest areas, with high mountains and dense forests, looking for lost cattle and sheep there is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now NMG and many farms in the northwest area put a chip in the ear of newborn livestock, which can locate them and find them by following the navigation.

The Zhalu people live in an almost primitive society. Naturally, they do not have these high technologies, and everything has to rely on inherited skills.

While walking on the road, Lazhong kept saying something to Doma. The father and son communicated in tribal dialect, and Ao Muyang couldn't understand it. He could see that Lazhong kept pointing to the rocks and trees on the mountain and talking to Doma. Doma He kept nodding his head, and from time to time he would touch the stones and trees.

When La Zhong stopped talking, Duoma explained to Ao Muyang thoughtfully: "Uncle village chief, my father is teaching my clan the tracking technique. Do you want to learn it?"

Ao Muyang smiled dryly and said: "I won't learn it anymore. Is this a secret that is not passed down in your clan?"

Doma grinned and said: "That's right, but you can learn it if you are willing. This skill was learned by our ancestors from their hunting life in ancient times. You know, there are many animals and plants in our mountains. There are bears, large deer and wild boars, as well as small animals such as fat rats, grouse, and hares. These are our food, so whoever can accurately identify their footprints can bring rich food to the tribe. food."

Ao Muyang understood this. The Zhalu people did not know how to plant. It was not until the great era of the Republic of China that planting was introduced to the local area, and they began to clear the land to grow some food. In the past, they mainly relied on hunting for a living.

For tribes that live like this, hunters are the hope of the tribe. If a tribe has excellent hunters, the tribe will prosper, otherwise it will decline.

Duoma told Ao Muyang that his father had previously taught him to identify the differences between rocks, trees and weeds in different locations. These differences were very small, but tracking prey in the jungle required careful observation, because many wild birds and beasts left behind The traces are very slight.

Compared to Doma, who has been receiving modern education, Razhong is more conservative. After listening to some of the exchanges between the two, although he didn't say anything, his expression softened.

Ao Muyang waved to Duoma and said, "Forget it, Duoma, you don't have to explain the tracking technique to me, you can learn it yourself."

Duoma suddenly became angry and yelled at Razhong.

Razhong sighed and said to Ao Muyang: "Wash the mud to replenish your energy!"

At this moment, Lao Ao couldn't understand. Duoma laughed again and said, "My father is apologizing to you and saying I'm sorry."

Ao Muyang said inexplicably: "Why did he suddenly apologize?"

Doma smiled and explained: "I was angry with my father just now. I said that the village chief uncle took us in and saved my life. He also let me go to school and gave you a job, but you cherished him. This is very contemptible behavior, and I will definitely apologize to you."

Ao Muyang also smiled. He waved to Razhong and said, "It's really nothing. I should respect your customs. If the tracking technique is the secret of your tribe, then no matter how much favor I have to you, I shouldn't go there." Forcing you to reveal secrets.”

Doma immediately said: "Uncle village chief, you are the true protector of the Buddha."

After listening to his words, Razhong showed a look of sadness on his face. He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes showed a sadness, and his mouth moved and he didn't know what he was mumbling.

Doma translated for Ao Muyang again: "My father said that this is no longer a secret. There are no wild animals in the forest. People in the village have begun to receive tourists and work outside, so they can live better. In fact, what is there to keep secret about tracking skills? They are no longer valuable."

Their target was deep in the forest, deeper than Ao Muyang expected.

After entering the denser jungle, La Zhong began to get busy. He would lie down in the grass from time to time to look through the gaps in the grass. During this time, he became taciturn and didn't teach Doma much.

Just when Ao Muyang was wondering if La Zhong didn't teach his son because he was next to him, Doma said to him: "Uncle Village Chief, my father found prey and he didn't have time to teach me!"

Ao Muyang realized that his thoughts were seen through by this child who was only in the second grade, and he was a little embarrassed. In addition, he was also surprised by Doma, who was quite smart and clever.

After lying in the grass and watching for several times, La Zhong waved his hand with a serious expression and called the two to his side. Lao Ao also had a serious expression. It seemed that they had encountered a big creature, probably a wild boar!
